    No meat mapo tofu, eggplant string beans, fried rice (has HK sausages in it), and chicken string beans
    Trin H.

    |[ s a d ]| Utterly disappointed- we were loyal customers here (we come almost weekly) but they changed the menu and removed the "plate" option, basil chicken, and made the mapo tofu fried instead of boiled tofu (unhealthier). They added purple rice which is nice but they have both $0.50 and $1 extra listed for it and charged the higher price- this is extremely unacceptable and misleading, we let it go but it was disappointing on top of the option changes. |[ o n l y p o s i t i v e ]| Only good thing are the added sauce options but you only get a small cup per bowl... this is now overpriced for very mediocre "Chinese food", not only did they make it less authentic and unhealthy but the price point makes it not worth coming for anymore. Hope things change someday so we can come back- otherwise not sure we will. Ambiance hasn't changed.

    Braised pork, Squash and Spicy Cucumber
    Rochelle S.

    I've been to TigaWok a few times, and what made me fall in love with it was the original concept. You could choose several small dishes served in cute little containers, which made it easy to try different flavors at a very affordable price. My favorite was always the tomato and egg dish, so I came back craving it, only to find out it's no longer on the menu. It looks like TigaWok has shifted to a build-your-own bowl concept. You start by choosing a base (jasmine rice, chow mein, half or all greens, purple rice, or egg fried rice), then a protein, a veggie, and a side. They also offer complimentary sauces, and I really enjoyed the ginger scallion sauce. It added great flavor to my bowl. My only issue was that the menu wasn't very clear about what qualifies as a "veggie" versus a "side." I chose roasted pumpkin (squash) as my vegetable and spicy cucumber as my side, but I was still charged extra, which was confusing. I wish the menu explained the categories better or simply combined the vegetable and side into one selection since they're all vegetable-based dishes. It would make the ordering process much more customer-friendly and avoid surprises at checkout. I also ordered the braised pork belly, which used to be one of my favorites. Before, it came in tender, bite-sized pieces. This time, the pork was cut into larger chunks with a lot of fat, and unfortunately, the meat was dry. I understand that businesses evolve, and the staff explained that the new concept caters to their customer demographics. I appreciate that they're offering more vegan-friendly options while still keeping pork, beef, chicken, and shrimp on the menu. However, I miss the old concept that made TigaWok stand out. I hope they'll consider bringing back some of the original favorites and making the ordering process a little clearer. I'd love to see this place thrive because I've genuinely enjoyed it in the past.

    Extremely dry, burnt tasting orange chicken
    Juliet B.

    I hadn't been to Tigawok in a couple of months and just visited yesterday and was sad to see that they have changed their menu. They do a build your own bowl type of thing now, just like Panda Express or any other fast food Chinese restaurant. They took away everything I loved about them, which was having a large variety of options that you could get mini bowls of. You can still get mini bowls but the prices went way up and the selection is not even half of what it used to be. Also, the food is pretty terrible now. At least the orange chicken was. It was extremely dry and burnt and tasted like it was made a week ago and reheated in a microwave. Sadly, will not be returning here. Seems like they have ruined themselves and won't last long here. I agree with the rest of the recent reviews.

    It is very nice. It's similar to panda express but so much better. I really love the red braised pork belly, that was very tender, fatty and delicious. The peppered chicken was very tasty as well. They have different varieties of dishes to choose from that are really delicious and fresh and fresh. They also offer pickled radish, and chili sauce. The best part was the utensils and containers they provided. It's really cool and high-quality covers and lids. Everything was available at a self-service counter.. If you had leftovers, you could easily pack them up yourself without having to go to the front again to ask for a to-go box. Such a convenient and a unique idea. A plate for two entree was $10.99 ( with additional a dollar or $1.50 for braised pork belly and curry ) and $13.99 for a plate of three entree of choice.

    All of our favorites in one place. Yum!

    This is by far one of my children's favorite place to eat. Anytime we are even close to the area, they expect us to stop at Tigawok. I don't mind, because they happily gobble up the broccoli that they have here. It really is so good. I have noticed that some of the cute things that they had when they first opened are not there anymore. For example, there are no more men, no more lossing stick, and they use paper bags instead of the cute branded bags. But that's totally understandable, I can imagine offering things like that could be expensive. I was surprised it happened in the first place.

    Orange chicken
    Lauren Y.

    I visited this location around 12:10pm on a Saturday. There was no wait, and I felt very comfortable as I read the menu and took the time to understand the difference between a base and a mini bowl (aka I was not rushed). The employee was very patient and helpful. We ended up ordering the Garlic eggplant and green beans ($4), chow mein mini bowl ($4), orange chicken mini bowl ($5), and a fountain beverage. I really like the option of a mini bowl. Sometimes, I don't have the appetite to eat a full meal, and I don't want to waste food either. Other times, I just want to try new food. Regardless, I really appreciated the option of a mini bowl. The most enjoyable thing I had was the green beans in the eggplant dish. They were perfectly crunchy. All other items were okay to me. It was edible, just not something I would necessarily go back for. Overall the highlights of Tigawok for me was the friendly staff, cleanliness of the restaurant, and I enjoyed the option to have a mini bowl.

    Roy H.

    Wow has it backslid. Now it's not al la cart, but instead just a bowl based on your choices. and they got rid of the best choice: basil chicken. only unhealthy options left. also it's super militating misleading. the wall shows that purple rice was a 50 cent up charge, but at the cashier I was up charged $1. Awful and unless they change it back, I am avoiding this place.

    I was hungry and near this place and as much as I don't like their 'No Cash' policy, I decided to eat here. I tried their pork belly with chow mien and their tiga cola chicken, the pork belly was excellent, tiga cola chicken was ok, I bought their 2 item bowl, I probably will try their rice with 1 entree next time. Service was friendly and professional, the place was kept clean

    Mini bowls

    Cool new Chinese food concept with robotic woks and smaller side portions. You choose the different small plates you like so you can mix and match with others at the table vs panda etc that puts a combo all into one personal platter. Fresh Chinese favorites at Great prices with good consistent food. These guys may become a big competitor to panda and other quick service Asian chains.

    Joshua H.

    This spot is great. Easy! Convenient! And tasty!! I have been here about ten times now and keep coming back for more. They have a new tigabowl that I tried out today! Great food! Great portion! Better than what you would get at the competition plus the quality of the food taste better!

    Food: 5/5 Service: 4/5 Ambiance: 4/5 What a upscale Chinese fast food restaurant. I have tried most of their menu and I love em all. They pack their food with very high quality boxes and my favorite was their free dipping sauce which takes the flavor to next level. I wish they open one near my house

    Teeling L.

    Tigawok is a pioneering "robot-powered" Americanized Chinese restaurant chain launched in 2024 in Los Angeles by founder Tomas Su (Sunright Tea Studio) and Kelvin Wang (Beijing Tasty House). Tigawok focuses on a quick-service, cafeteria style and mini-bowl approach where customers can try multiples smaller portions. Dishes are intentionally priced to be affordable and competitive with grocery prices, typically ranging between $3 and $7. I really like the mini bowl concept, perfect portions and reasonable price. However, food is mediocre, lacking in depth or complex, authentic flavors. The feel of the restaurant was modern, bright, and clean. The staff is friendly and helpful. Dishes are acceptable when I am looking for a quick meal but not one I would specifically go out of my way to find again.

    Yummy Lunch Combo!
    Terrence T.

    Finished work and I was HUNGRY! My coworker told me to check out Tigawok and I did. I could tell by the people sitting outside that this place was popular. Very spacious and airy inside. I went to the sneezeproof counter and the server guided me through how to order. Got my proteins, veggies and other fun options. Paid and went to the refreshment beverage station to get my delicious drink. My food was amazing and I got to " people watch" people ordering their food in very comfy booths. This place is fun & tasty!

    Clean and sleek interior.

I will say that the reviews were good, however I was skeptical due to North Hollywood location and newly openly developed area. Regardless, we tried it.

After we were seated, we asked if we could share one hand roll set, which is something we regularly do at every other handroll restaurants. The waitress immediately explained that the hand roll sets were not meant to be shared and repeatedly asked us which specific rolls each of us would be eating. We were questioned about it more than once, making the interaction feel unnecessarily uncomfortable. A short time later, as J-Cole continued to play, another couple was seated next to us. They also asked to share a hand roll set. To my surprise, they were not given the same explanation, nor were they repeatedly asked to identify which rolls each person would be eating. Their request was simply accommodated. Interesting how minorities are treated here compared to others in this area. I cannot believe in 2026 how racism is very much alive, while black artists are playing overhead. I've spent thousands of dollars dining at restaurants throughout Los Angeles and have always believed that every customer deserves to be treated with the same level of respect. Unfortunately, that was not my experience here. I will never return to this racist establishment. I hope management takes customer service seriously and ensures that all guests are treated consistently and respectfully. Bottom line, I should have gone to Yunomi. Also, prices are too high.
