Quick and friendly service, yummy and generous portions, and really great value! Highly recommend and would come again when in a pinch looking for something hearty. The orange chicken surprised me with how big and juicy the chicken chunks were - and you can really taste the orange zest. Enjoyed that a lot, but honestly you can't go wrong with any of their entrees. Chow mein was also fantastic!

Delicious and affordable food! I've been back here countless times along with their other locations. Service is always fast. Ambiance is decent. They got places for you to sit down and eat but it seems like a lot of customers will order it and leave. They have a wide selection ranging from rice, noodles, to tofu, chicken, beef, etc. I've ordered over half of their options at this point and haven't found a single disappointing option. There's something for everyone here. The one thing I'd like to point out is how they package their food. At first glance, it looks like there isn't much for the amount you're spending. But they PACK that stuff in there! I always have enough for a second meal lol.

Tigawok totally gave me upscale Panda Express vibes, but like better. The BEST part though? The free pickled radishes. Why were they so good omg. I was lowkey obsessed and could've just kept snacking on those. My fave dishes were definitely the Hong Kong fried rice, orange peel chicken, and basil chicken. Those were the stars for me. The other dishes we tried were decent, just not as memorable. Prices felt pretty reasonable for how much food you get, so honestly a good bang for your buck kinda spot. I appreciated the little to-go lids since the portions are generous enough that leftovers are very possible.

Absolutely amazing experience with Tigawok! I ordered through DoorDash and honestly can't say enough good things about this place. From the packaging, to the color of the utensils, to the presentation and flavor of the food -- everything felt so well thought out. Even the bag the food came in gave such a fun and quality vibe. I also loved how every container was individually labeled with my name and exactly what each item was. It made everything feel so organized, personalized, and professional. I ordered the Orange Peel Chicken, Hong Kong Sausage Fried Rice, Tiga Mapo Tofu, and Chow Mein, and every single item was delicious. The portions are perfect -- not too little and not overly huge either. I'd say it's ideal for one person, or perfect to order multiple smaller dishes to share between 2-3 people. My only minor issue was that the food arrived a little cold by the time it got delivered, but honestly everything still tasted amazing and fresh. Besides that, I'll definitely be ordering again!

Great place for quick, tasty Chinese food made by robots. I love how they change up the menu so you can always come back to try different things. I've been to a few Tigawok's and I would say getting a majority of their small plates with $2 rice is a better deal than the 3 appetizer with base at $13. I felt like they gave me more mains when I did that and I had more leftovers for the cost being just a little more...unless the worker just gave me smaller portions bc I'm a girl with the 3 appetizer lol. Regardless, taste is delicious! My favorites when they have it are: Cola Chicken, Spicy Chicken Basil (comes with string beans), and their pork belly (comes with potatoes). Great casual dining of Chinese food ala Carte when you're on the go and want to try many small options. Although I do think Chinese restaurants if you just want one main they give you more meats for cheaper price.

There's plenty of parking available. Inside, there are a few tables if you want to dine in, but seating is limited. The ordering process is simple, you choose a base and then add any sides you want. After paying, there's a small station at the end where you can grab utensils and sauces. I ordered the Wagyu Beef & Minced Pork Rice Bowl as my base, along with a side of Red Braised Pork Belly with Potato. The portion size was decently sized and reasonably priced. The pork bowl was really good, but the pork belly was just okay as the meat was a bit dry. Overall, I'd come back to try their other dishes. Recommendation(s): - Wagyu Beef & Minced Pork Rice Bowl Service: 5/5 Tip(s): - Plenty of parking spaces - Limited indoor seating - Accept Apple Pay

Tigawok has better food than all the Chinese restaurants I've tried around my house in Laguna Niguel and yes I'm comparing them with standalone restaurants not fast food. I got the 2 entree bowl for $10.99. The chow mein is full of veggies which I absolutely love and the noodles have a good bite to them. The basil chicken is very flavorful and has the perfect amount of heat. The eggplant-green beans is outstanding, perfect balance of crunchy beans and soft perfectly cooked eggplants. I can eat this every day. I wish the food was a little less salty and oily but still one of my favorite Chinese foods in OC. I love the food packaging and the ambiance is clean and casual. Highly recommended!

I heard about TIGA WOK and it looks okay so we gave this a try. Upon entering the restaurant, the appearance looks like a typical Panda express, how you see or order your food but with a much more appealing look and better food. We ordered a few of them like the WAGYU MAPO TOFU, RED BRAISED BEEF & MINCE PORK & rice bowl, and VEGETABLES If you want your food for to go after they have a section for you to get your own box, bag, utensils etc , my wife said their To-Go containers cute. Foods are okay, plenty of choices to choose from. They have plenty of staffs and all move fast. Plenty of parking around.

While it's a unique concept and they have pretty affordable small plates, the food lacked flavor. Tigawok has a cafeteria style ordering process where you can mix and match based and small entrees. I liked the customization aspect, however the dishes I tried were a little disappointing. The mapo tofu lacked spice and a depth of flavor, and the Wagyu pork base was too sweet for my liking. I'd be open to trying new dishes, but I definitely would not reorder the ones I had. One thing I did like is that the food is constantly being made and fresh, one of the items I ordered was running out, so they gave me a buzzer and told me to come back in 5 minutes when the new batch was done. They also had a great reusable to go boxes and bags.

Been here a couple of times and forgot about the review. Stopped by during their soft opening and they were out of certain items and the lines were longer. Now that they have some time to work out the kinks, things are running smooth and most items are available. With that said, that plaza is busy no matter what time of day you go. Parking can be a pain in the butt. They have a lot of different entrees to select from. I usually get a few and it'll last me 2 or 3 meals. My favorites are the orange peel chicken, the wagyu curry (has nice bit chunks of potato's and carrots and the beef is tender), the toga cola chicken is not bad, and the Wagyu mapo tofu. For the vegetables, I normally get the garlic eggplant and green beans (it has more eggplant than green beans and I'm not a eggplant fan, but its not too bad) and the other dish is the dry pot Brussels sprouts. It's relatively cheap for each dish, about $5-$7 each. It's more authentic than that other Chinese chain with the bear. Ive been back a few times now.

Tigawok is a new modern Chinese cafeteria style fast food concept that is like a nicer version of Panda Express, but with touch of eco friendly containers. This location in Irvine shares a busy parking lot with Trader Joes, YogaSix, and Wanderlust. I've walked by many times while getting my groceries but they are usually so busy I didn't want to deal with the wait. They have a few limited half booths inside, and then plenty of tables for the plaza outside. So I really like that they have mini bowls so it really allows you to get a variety of things. Since it was my first visit I ordered a variety of things to assess their offerings. Steamed Soup Dumplings ($5.50) - These were a bit cold and no soup inside, a bit bland. Not too excited for these. Chilled Garlic Broccoli ($3.99) - Probably the healthiest item on their menu. I really enjoyed the garlic sauce on the broccoli. Sweet Tomato and Scrambled Eggs ($4.99) - A simple dish but a dish I really enjoy when I see it on the menu. Garlic Eggplant and Green beans ($3.99) - I love eggplants and it's a treat having it, but the execution of this dish was a bit oily. Red Braised Pork Belly with Potato ($7.99) - I couldn't resist trying this, and it was really good. It's not as soft and tender as typical braises, but the flavors were there. At the time I came, some of the items I wanted were out, and they were able to give me an ETA so I waited. This is a pro and a con in itself. It sucks when stuff runs out but it also shows that the food churn quickly and you get fresh food. I had plenty of leftovers to take home and eat for 2 more subsequent meals with brown rice I had at home. A great spot for inexpensive eats but not a great spot for a diet. I would come back for some cheap eats but definitely something to be eaten in moderation.

We've been back a handful of times and have always enjoyed the consistency of flavors, relatively short wait times, friendly service, and some of the menu items that Tigawok has been rolling out periodically. Love the great bang for buck and hot and fresh options. Ambiance is casual and their packaging is the absolute best. Love the convenience of self-service for packing leftovers.
