I love the food! As a Chinese myself, I think It's very authentic. Will come here often!

the staff was very friendly and easy to talk to and food was awesome and very good, easy pick would go again.

The place has become my go to, really love the flavors and the authenticity. I really love the orange chicken, it is super crispy.... As well as the spicy sauce. read more

I'd heard a lot about Tigawok and was excited to try it because of the concept. However, it ended up tasting less authentic than I'd hoped. It was also a little pricier than I thought it would be (4 dishes, one chow mein, and one Wagyu beef/pork rice came out to around $40$. The standout dish for me was the Tomato and Egg. I'd maybe skip the Spicy Basil Chicken unless you really love basil. On the bright side, the service was very quick and friendly, and the interior was really nice, though could use some more seating. read more

Tigawok - Tomato and egg, spicy basil chicken, and chow mein - Fast Food Near Me - Los Angeles, California

This place is very bad...no fault of the robot cook. It is the owner and the suppliers. They get green beans that are very old, and do not prep the vegetables correctly. The Kung Pao chicken has no peanut or any kind of vegetable. It is simply chicken meat. They were cooked in a sweet soy sauce with a very light hint of spice. This is not Kung Pao chicken. All in all, it is a total waste. Even other American Chinese fast food places are better. I was there on a Tuesday during the peak dinner hours. Not one customer. I took pictures of their containers to show how shallow they are. Not much food for the money that I paid. Ray out. read more

I do agree with some of the other reviews that the quality seems to have unfortunately gone downhill. Sadly the customer service seems to have been affected as well. I used to enjoy coming here for the good quality, price and friendly service. The employee was texting for a while before someone finally came up to help me with my order and I was the only person in line. The Mapo tofu used to be my favorite here. Not sure if it's an off day or if they changed their recipe but the Mapo tofu was a super dark red color and was a lot spicier than I rmbr. I'm not sure if it's because of less foot traffic so the food is sitting in the warmer simmering for longer but the food didn't look as fresh and appealing as it used to in the past. I also noticed their packaging seems a little different and they got rid of their iconic reusable bags too:( I wish they have prepackaged sauces and radish available bc the radish is always out and the employees always look so annoyed and say they can't refill when I ask for them to refill the community radish (happens almost every time I go) so I just give up asking lol read more

Quite late to the party but better than never. They were so hyped back then with the viral videos of the robots cooking. Many of the dishes feel similar-ish to the 'you-know-what' brand, but I'd say they try to make bit of twist and the dishes turn out not bad! Minor things, but the food containers and to-go bag also come in decent quality and design! Dining-in is convenient as well despite the limited space. If you don't mind eat while standing, more spots are available for sure. Bonus points, given the meals are ready-to-serve, you get to eat instantly upon ordering. We tried Pepper Kurobuta Pork and their #1 Orange Peel Chicken. The prior was tad too salty for my liking despite the meat texture was good. I certainly preferred the latter as it ticked all the boxes from tenderness, flavor, and portion. Would specifically call out the chili sauce they provided for self-grab at the counter as it was SO SO GOOD! read more

I really like this sweet little shop. Very good fast casual Chinese fusion. They added delicious crunchy egg rolls to the line up. I got a 3 entree bowl on steamed rice. Huge portions. I love the free hot sauce and pickled radish. It's a cool set up, everything easy for takeout orders. The service is always incredibly nice. read more

Tigawok - Food options - Fast Food Near Me - Los Angeles, California

For a long time, authentic and fast are oxymorons when referring to Chinese food. Tigawok dares to be a trailblazer to change that! I think they deserve the five star just for that courage and vision. But their foods are actually really good! I went in for lunch and I went back to get dinner again on the same day. The chicken with basil leaves his absolutely my favorite! I had that at a high-end Taiwanese restaurant in Taipei once and I would say Tigawok is at par with the best. The braised pork was very tasty and worth the calories. The sweet tomato fried eggs is absolutely their best! I brought it home and my kids loved it. For $2.99 you could get a nice tea. I love their honey infused black tea! That by itself is a great drink to get here. I bet you won't find a decent drink cheaper than this in the entire Sawtelle area. Prices are super reasonable for the quality of food. This is the kind of place that would be great for a group or a family as you could mix and match different items and share them. The staff was super friendly and efficient. For a new customers, they would explain to you how things work and how to order. Definitely a great place to get Chinese food! And you can get it fast without waiting! read more

Yeah, I'm from out of town so -- wow! What a cool little place! Firstly, upon entering Tigawok, you can tell it has a modern stylish theme and color scheme! The mirrored walls and ceiling give the space a bigger feel than what it actually is. There are several booth seats and single window seats. My brother says this place is like a fancier Panda Express. Firstly, at the counter there is laid out displays of many different dish options. You choose your base first (white rice or noodles) and then can select whatever Mini bowl types of stir fry you want. And guess what? The machine rotating behind the counter is the automatic wok that cooks it! And it did a reasonably good job. None of the items I ordered were burnt and was flavored well. There's a variety of flavors including curry, mapo tofu, I ordered the spicy basil chicken (one of my favorites), pepper kurobuta pork (also very good), and the garlic eggplant and green beans (gotta have my greens). For "mini bowls" I surprisingly made these 'dishes' last me several meals! That helped a lot since I didn't have time to meal prep for the week. The food is contained in these cute little reusable "Tupperware". I washed them and plan to use them as leftover takeout containers for friends when I host dinners. I didn't get to try any of the drinks but was pleased to see some unique flavors (beyond your usual fountain drinks) such as honey-scented black tea and unsweetened oolong. I'd try it next time! Price was unbeatable too! For how much it costs these days to eat out, this was very reasonable! I wish Tigawok will expand up to Northern California. This is such a cute and clever place! (thank you Tigawok for the cute car air freshener too!) read more

Every single thing I ordered was delicious! Totally recommend! read more

Tigawok - Orange peel chicken, honey walnut shrimp, pork belly, & chow mein - Fast Food Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Been meaning to try this as a nicer alt to Panda Express. The current portion sizes are too small for the price. I ordered 2 dishes and 1 main and the total was around 20 dollars for essentially fast food. The dishes they're served in are very shallow. The garlic noodles and orange peel chicken were good. I do like pandas orange chicken better. My main issue was the peppers and pork. This dish was not authentic to the Hunan region at all, and tasted really bitter and astringent. The pork was simultaneously fatty and dry, and the peppers were greasy and limp. The workers were very nice but it was pretty disappointing. read more

Tigawok - Garlic noodles, orange peel chicken, peppers and pork - Fast Food Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I've been here many times over the years, back when this was their only location. It had been a while since my last visit, and honestly, the quality seems to have dropped a bit. It's still ok, but not quite as good as I remember. The biggest issue was the beef. It was very dry, and I'm not sure if it had been sitting out for a while, but the edges were dark brown and almost jerky-like. The rice also seemed undercooked and was much harder than it should have been. Customer service wasn't quite at the level I remembered either. In the past, the staff was always friendly and attentive, but this visit felt less welcoming. I'm hoping this was just an off day because I've had many positive experiences here before. I'd still be willing to give them another chance and hope things are better on my next visit. read more

Good option for fast, casual Chinese food in Sawtelle. Ordered the orange chicken, chow mein, beef & minced pork rice, mapo tofu, brussel sprouts, and spicy beef. It's a fast casual restaurant where robots cook up the food. You order up front and find your own table. The photos I saw on IG looked great, but most of the dishes were really greasy and not as flavorful as expected. The mapo tofu was especially greasy, I wouldn't order that dish again. The best dish was the beef & minced pork rice. It was seasoned well, not so greasy, and paired well with the rice and side radish to cut through the richness of the beef. Overall good Chinese for the price and portions. read more

It's impossible to come to Tigawok and not compare it to the fast food restaurant Panda Express. It's clear that they're trying to offer a fresher, more 'hip' alternative. So, with that said, I came in wanted to see how it stacked up against it. And I gotta say, it did very well. The restaurant itself is small. It's narrow with a very small footprint on Sawtelle. You can tell they're trying to cater to the business people who work within walking distance. It's made more for to go than dine in, even though there are some small tables throughout ready for people wanting to dine in. The interior is warm and inviting. Minimal in design consisting of cool whites & light turquoise to match the company's logo/design scheme. The orange chicken was good. Less sweet that I'm used to which I enjoyed, but I wish the breading was a bit more crispy. It's a more gummy piece of orange chicken than a crunchy fried one I'm used to. The fried rice was absolutely fantastic. Some of, if not the most, flavorful fried rice I've ever had at a fast food/fast casual Chinese restaurant. I could go back and just eat bowls of that and be satisfied. However, here comes my biggest complaint (though it's minor in the grand scheme of things). Because this is a small place that relies on robotic/automated wok machines in the back, it can't cook a lot at the same time. Because of that, they're not constantly cranking out menu items. When I got there they were in the middle of making a new batch of fried rice. That meant I had to wait close to 10 minutes for it to be ready. Was it worth the wait? Yeah. Sure. However, had they had more machines or people hand cooking it, I feel like they would be able to ensure that they would always have all menu items ready to go. I think next time I will plan on ordering ahead for pickup. That way should something be out, there will be enough time for it to be cooked properly. If they're hoping to get business people to come by to quickly grab a lunch, I think they need to figure out a more streamlined process to ensure they're never out of anything. read more

Tigawok is fantastic! Came here for a lunch and they were speedy, affordable which is rare to find with generous portions and delicious! The staff was friendly in walking us through how it worked and the bowls and let us sample which was great. The braised pork belly was fantastic, and so was the orange chicken. Hong kong fried rice was great too! Generous portions as I mentioned before. I got two items that were an additional cost and still, a lunch with a drink in LA for about $15 bucks is hard to comeby now. I appreciate they gave out sauces and pickled radish and made takeout easy too with provided bags and cardboard too to layer food. Very thoughtful touches! read more

Great food and friendly service, reasonable prices. Solid variety on a lot of favorites.

Went on a Sunday night. I had to wait awhile for fresh orders since they were closing. We ended up with: -Crispy Chili Pork. I wasn't a fan of the flavor -Orange Peel Chicken. My husband said it was the best orange chicken he's had in a long time. I thought it was just okai. -Pepper Pork. Lots of fat They were out of chow mein, wagyu curry and cola chicken. Sad because I wanted to try more but honestly felt let down with what they had available. Not sure I'd go back to try even with the goo reviews. read more

Pretty good and hoesntly really cheap Chinese food! They have mini bowls and each item is about $5, and the food is sooooo filling. For what is pictured we paid about $35-40 dollars and had plenty left over for 2 people. The chow mein is ELITE as well as their orange chicken. Also got the spicy beef and it was super spicy with the chiles (I couldn't handle and I have a pretty high spice tolerance). Also had the spicy pork with potato and it was a nice palette cleanser for all the spice lol. Would totally come back whenever I want fast Chinese food (even if panda is right next door ) read more

Tigawok - Chow mein, orange chicken, spicy beef, spicy pork and potato - Fast Food Near Me - Los Angeles, California

The Baseline: For fast-casual Asian food the flavors need to be authentic, the portions have to be properly sized, and the restaurant must be comfortable and stylish. Food: I got the Pepper Kurobuta Pork ($6.98), Potato Shreds with Bean Sprouts ($3.28), and Garlic Eggplant and Green Beans ($3.98) today. Love the shishito peppers with the pork and the potato shreds are one of my favorites (5 stars). For the Garlic Eggplant and green beans I would prefer more green beans over the eggplant (4 stars). Tiga Wok had to adjust prices a bit since their soft opening but it is still a great value and I want to continue my support for the great food, value, and flavors of this restaurant. Service: The staff was friendly and provided excellent customer service. Atmosphere: Clean and busy when I came in. The self serve drink area was clean without any soda sticky stains or random customer trash. Tiga-tip-top shape! read more

I wish they'd bring this to the Bay!! Super interesting concept where low price point meets Panda Express-variety. Definitely sample some of the dishes before getting them--some of them were really tasty that I didn't expect I'd like. 7 dishes was plenty for 2 people--we had the tiga cola chicken, string beans with eggplant, tomato & eggs, crispy chili pork, cabbage (not pictured, ordered later), tiga wagyu curry, and half chow mein/rice. Sadly they ran out of the wagyu & kurobuta rice bowl, or else I'd have chosen that as the base. I was a bit surprised that all the food was served slightly warm, but that's a small nit. My favorites were the crispy chili pork (great mala flavor, and a good amount of pork), tomato & eggs (sweet and perfect over the bed of white rice), and the tiga cola chicken (great portion and super tender, but a tad bit too sweet). I thought string beans with eggplant had too much oil and the curry was a bit bland and the meat was tough. We had no issues with seating and came at 6pm on a Saturday All in all, great value and would love to come back to try other dishes read more
