We love Paper Tiger! We are locals to Portland and enjoy the food scene here quite a bit. Paper Tiger is always a stop we incorporate when friends come to visit Maine, and it’s always a hit! From really tasty, unique cocktails, to very flavorful dishes, it’s a great spot!

Red stripe, shot and fried chik sammie for $16???!!!Poutine, ramen and oysters on the same menu? I'm in love ❤️???Nice late night menu.
Stopped in to try this place after seeing the menu online. The atmosphere is very quaint and fresh. The staff is warm, friendly, and more than willing to have a good chat if they're not too busy. The evening bartender is especially fantastic! Our server recommended a wonderful white wine to accompany my dinner and was extremely careful to make sure the chef was aware of my specific allergy. We had the papaya salad, green beans, lumpia, the duck steamed bun special (easily the best thing I had to eat, so so good), and finished with the coconut tres leches. Food was delicious and tasted fresh, I especially enjoyed that I could see the chef working in the kitchen through the service window. 5/5 I will definitely be returning for another date night in the future!Dietary restrictions: I have a deathly allergy to shrimp exclusively, my server was very careful to take the time to understand the extent of my allergy and relay that information to the chef so that I was able to enjoy my meal without worrying about finding an epipen.Parking: Large multi-level 24/7 paid parking garage about 1000-ft from the business. Cost at time of visit was $7/hr.

We did the private cooking class with Sinuon. and it was great. The food was delicious, very hands on and fun! We each got to pick what we wanted to make and then got to cook it from start to finish. A lot of food, more than we could eat.

Wonderful cuisine. Fell on love with their pepper mushroom. The place was a bit empty when we went but we came out of season. The price a bit on the higher side but the portions are really great to share. Bring a date!
Original and delicious cocktails. Expensive (around $15 + tips) but totally worth it.Will come back for another round and to try the food.

I don’t know what happened to Paper Tiger, it used to be great. However, the food we had last night was terrible. Everything was so salty, it was inedible. They are now putting MSG on everything, as well. Very disappointed they have gone so downhill.
