favorite place to dine at before heading to the movies. love their kung pao chicken :)

I can't stay away from the tiga wagyu curry. Stacked plates, can't beat it! Real good and value is there. Kenny is the man. Thanks for the good service dude! 10/10 read more

It was nice for a quick simple meal. The fried rice has pork in it though, FYI for people who don't eat pork. The options are white rice, pork fried rice, or noodles for the bottom and a variety of sides 2 entree or 3 entree options. I got Kung pao chicken, mushroom chicken and orange chicken with white rice. I would say there isn't anything completely special about this place- if you want something like Panda Express that's not Panda Express, could go here. The ambiance was really nice though- I love their colors and how they set up their space and their employees are gentle. read more

|[ w o o h o o ]| 3.5 stars rounded up. Such a nice and spacious dining area! Fast efficient service! :) I tried the vegetarian tofu, the fried rice, the eggplant string beans-- all were actually decently flavored and the fried rice not bad for fast food, def superior to a certain popular Chinese fast food chain imo. We enjoyed it and the Togo packages and bag, even the straws are such good quality! |[ n o t e s ]| I would suggest less oil in the dishes, more vegan/vegetarian options, and soup options to make this place more amazing. A small gift for writing a review too! :) read more

Tigawok - No meat mapo tofu, eggplant string beans, fried rice (has HK sausages in it), and chicken string beans - Chinese Near Me - Burbank, California

I was in the area and walked in as I thought that everything was made to order but it's not. It's basically a food to go place. I came at lunch time and it was pretty empty inside. Service was friendly. The store is large and clean inside, but the food in the case did not look appetizing, it looked like it was sitting for a long time. Since I was there, I got the orange chicken and the tomato egg, and a bit of the hot sauce condiment. The hot sauce was delicious. The orange chicken was not, it was 90% batter and had a burnt taste. The tomato egg was ok but not great. Not for me. read more

Super quick service when we went mid day on a week day. I've never been so I just copied what my friends got --pork and fried egg plant with great beans. It was good and filling and lasted me two lunches. Very similar to Panda Express imo but a little more expensive. A great option if you want a big bowl. read more

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 read more

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. read more

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 read more

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! read more

Didn't get a picture this time but thank god their AC works now lol. Came in on a Friday night because I needed a quick dinner. It was a little busy but still had ample seating available. The space was clean and lively. Food has been consistent with every visit (we frequent this spot if we need something quick and not too heavy). Whoever was working on 3/27/26 was very friendly and was playing BANGERS! read more

Tigawok - Chinese Near Me - Burbank, California

Smorgasbord style, Chinese fast food (the Chinese Chipotle). This place is super clean, modern and comfortable. We came in to sample a variety of items. We ordered Kung Pao Chicken, Tiga Wagyu Curry, Braised Pork & Wagyu Beef Rice Bowl, Egg Fried Rice, Chow Mein and some White Rice. This is not gourmet, but it's good, and very reasonably priced. The total order came to only $31.00 Overall, the food was fine, but I was most impressed by the packaging. The to-go containers are all very sleek and the carry-out bags are well made and nicely decorated. Definitely the best packaging I've seen for food containers. This was a pleasant experience and I will be back again. read more

This was my second visit to Tigawok. This is a new addition to Burbank. They have been open for several months now. I passed by location several times, but finally got a chance to try them. For food, I can say food was yummy and delicious. I ordered orange chicken and another chicken bowl. I also tired the chow mein and rice. Food was really good and was fresh. No complaints about the food. I also tried the teas, I like that they were not too sweet. For service, staff who helped me were very nice and friendly. They were patient while I was taking my time deciding what to order. For ambiance, I can give this location ten stars. This store was very clean and well maintained. Fountain drinks area was very clean. I really liked the idea of reusable containers and choice of the containers. They offer reusable bags which is very nice. This store is very environmental friendly. For parking, I would say it's easy to find a parking spot since there are public parkings within walking distance. read more

3.5 - not bad for the price and portion. I ordered a plate through DoorDash and had the chow mein, orange peel chicken, and chilled garlic broccoli. There was a large portion of noodles but not that much of the entrees. Flavor was good but comparing it to Panda Express, there are areas for improvement. As seen in my picture, there was way too much soy sauce in the noodles so it was pretty salty. The orange peel chicken was also not crispy and the breading is thick. With the name tigawok, you'd expect cooking with wok hei, but that was missing in my plate. I would order it again if I needed something simple and not too expensive but nothing to write home about. read more

I love this concept of cafeteria-style to go food! The space was so clean and service was fast. This place is perfect if you're looking for a quick bite and you're the kind of person who wants to try many dishes without ordering too much. I recommend their cola chicken! Shoutout to the kind staff member who brought me water and carrots for my dog. I love that there is outside seating! read more

Nice alternative to Panda Express - similar pricing but smaller portions and tastes healthier/lighter. Affordable and good value food, especially when everything is so expensive nowadays. Out of everything we got, the chow mein was the best. Noodles were bouncy and absorbed a lot of flavor from the different ingredients. Some of the orange chicken pieces were a bit hard, but taste and texture wise I think I much prefer Panda's. I enjoyed the mapo tofu, but felt like the wagyu pieces were fried almost like bacon bits and so I don't think they did much for the tofu. I did like the flavor from the chili oil and how soft the tofu was. They tend to make not very large batches that we had to wait a bit for more chow mein and mapo tofu to come out, but luckily it didn't take that long. It does get very busy that the staff looked really overwhelmed. read more

Tigawok - Orange chicken, broccoli, chow mein and wagyu mapo tofu - Chinese Near Me - Burbank, California

Food was tasty, thanks for the recommendation due to it being my 1st time at Tigawok. The front line employees were helpful and allowed tasting so I could select my meal. Service was fast & helpful, restaurant was very clean & the decor was popping. The restaurant is located in the walkway of the shopping/food area in downtown Burbank adjacent to the AMC Theaters. read more

My first time here with friends and was interested in the concept overall of robot-cooked food. You line up at the front and basically order what you would like, and each item is placed in a separate container. So to start on my order, I had to choose a base. I went with steamed rice and the staff poured out rice like a dispenser from their machine. It was pretty solid rice too. Fluffy and soft. A good amount was given and helped complement the proteins I chose next. I got the red braised pork belly and although they were out of potatoes, the staff still filled it well and basically I got more protein out of it which was a big plus!!! I actually really loved it even though a couple of my friends say it was too sweet for their liking. Next, I got the orange chicken and thought that each piece of meat was battered and fried perfectly. They had a nice crunch and a good even amount of flavor. This is a perfect spot for groups because we shared some proteins amongst one another and the total price didn't break all of our banks. I thought the mapo tofu was delicious and not too spicy. I highly recommend this spot if you want something fast and filling. Super bright and clean interior with calming music as ambiance. Love the to-go bags and the microwavable/reusable containers!!! read more

The good - clean environment, friendly staff, take away ability, and the veggies. The bad - the meat quality, no siracha, TONS of oil and the presentation .. nothing looked super good but it was worth trying. Eggplant and green beans were really nice. Garlicy, hot and delicious. Chicken was ok. The beef/pork over rice was prison-level food. read more

I stumbled across this spot in downtown Burbank and was pleasantly surprised. The place is really clean, the food comes out super fast, and they've got this fun buffet-style setup where you can taste everything before you commit -- which I loved, because a couple items weren't things I'd want a full plate of, but still tasted good. It's like an authentic fast-food style restaurant, but the flavors are solid and the prices are honestly great for what you get. The portions were generous (I even had leftovers, and I don't eat that much), so the value is definitely there. There's plenty of seating, but it does get busy since a lot of people are in and out, so keep that in mind if you're coming at lunch time. Overall, I'd for sure come back -- perfect for a quick, flavorful lunch that doesn't break the bank. read more

Tigawok is one of my favorite restaurants to go to in the Burbank Town Center area because it's affordable and the food it delicious. I always order the wagyu rice bowl and orange chicken. The orange chicken glaze flavor is sweet and rich and caramelizes the chicken really well. I also like the flecks of orange peel you can see in the sauce. There is always adequate seating when I go to the restaurant. My only complaint is that depending on the worker, you may or may not get a hefty serving of the foods. I've had some workers add two scoops of beef to my wagyu rice bowl and others add only one. Other than that, I think the food is well worth it for the price. read more

Tigawok - Chinese Near Me - Burbank, California

Very disappointing experience. I was really excited to try this place, but the food was terrible. I ordered the orange chicken, pork belly, and chow mein. The chow mein noodles smelled awful and were completely inedible. I couldn't even take a few bites. I ended up having to order food from somewhere else. If you're going to serve customers, at least make sure the food is fresh and edible. Serving food that smells bad is unacceptable. read more

Tigawok - Chow mein - Chinese Near Me - Burbank, California

This is my family's new favorite Taiwanese restaurant. It hits the spot for anyone that wants authentic food, yet brings a bit of spice for those that want a hint of fusion. Soup dumplings: 4/5 fresh and juicy Eggplant with sautéed string beans: 4.5/5 dry cooked the way I like it! It's salty but not overly sauced. Mapo tofu: 5/5 probably one of the best you can get in Cali. Packed with the goods! Tomato and egg: 4/5 just the way your Taiwanese mom made it. Just a tad sweeter. My Taiwanese parents are always happy when we eat here! A nice bonus - their hot sauce is DELISH! And you can choose the spice level for everything. To go orders are packed ever so neatly, too. Perfect for when lines are too long. They make it easy to order ahead online. read more

Quick spot to grab a bite and very affordable. Similar to panda express but you get separate bowls for each item. I loved the pickled radishes that was a nice touch and a refreshing side with the heavy meal. We got the chow mein and the orange chicken. Orange chicken was almost all breading with the tiniest piece of chicken in the middle. It was a bit odd. The chow mein lacked flavor. The place looks nice and clean and service was friendly. But I wouldn't eat here again read more

Tigawok is a pretty affordable and delicious meal! I got the orange chicken and eggplant and green beans. The orange chicken is nice and tangier flavor! The eggplant and green beans were great as well! In addition, the restaurant was pretty clean and tidy. The service is good and the employee does both of the serving and cashier. TIP: There's a parking structure and Tigawok is in a plaza. There is also 2 gender neutral restrooms in the restaurant as well. read more

I'm surprised there are mini food bowls only $3 to $7 in LA. I love that I get to try a variety of food here. All their mini bowls were pretty tasty. My favorites were the tomato egg, wagyu beef bowl, and eggplant and string beans. I like how they have veggies too. Portions were good and filling. This is a quick and easy meal that is so affordable. It is nice this is in downtown Burbank with lots of parking lots nearby. It was clean inside and to go boxes were on the table so that was convenient. read more

I stopped by here to grab lunch today since I was in the area. I been here already for a Yelp Elite Experience so I was already familiar with what they had. So I went with the chow Mein, orange chicken and human spicy beef which I didn't try before. I got their kung Pao chicken instead and that tasted more like chicken basil that my mom makes at home. When I came today, they were a little busy after lunch but it was because there were guest waiting for items that they had to make. Keep in mind that this place is card only, someone tried to pay with cash but the cashier told her that they only takes cards. They give you a good portion of food in their microwave safe and reusable container. The chow Mein was still delicious especially when you add Sriracha to it which they don't have here. The spicy beef was pretty good and I would order that again. The orange chicken is also good but I would get double spicy beef instead next time. Customer service here was great and the dining experience inside is also good if you're planning on eating there. read more

This is our second time eating here and both times were a great experience. You can tell the care and detail that went into the whole concept of this store. The best deal is to get one of the meal combos. But we got an orange chicken combo plus 2 additional proteins and chow main for $27. It was enough for my family of 4 to eat. The orange chicken is crispy and you can taste the real orange The kola chicken is salty with an umami flavor The Kung pao chicken is spicy and filled with veggies. The chow mein is a little sweet and soft. The rice is cooked to the perfect texture. The broccoli is served cold and I really didn't think I would like it. But they put an absolutely delicious sauce on it, and it's crispy and fresh. I definitely will get more next time. Oh and the teas are so light and refreshing. I mix 1/3 honey black tea and 2/3 oolong tea and it's the perfect lightly sweet combo. read more

Came here for a Yelp Elite event a few weeks back when they first opened and loved the vibe and feeling of being welcomed. That was not my experience today. The vibe was off, and the staff was cold. I felt rushed and felt like I was dumb because I asked to get a kung pao combo, thinking there was one, but apparently they only have 3 combos to choose from, so any other entree is a la carte. She did not explain that, but that way I figured that out on my own after she looked at me like I was dumb for asking for that combo. Things didn't get better, as the soda machine did not have any fizz to it, so any soda you got was stale and tasted as flat as soda could taste. Settled for sad raspberry iced tea. The chicken itself was not the greatest either; it tasted too soft and chewy with hard-to-chew areas and tasted like it had been sitting there under the lamp for some time. Needless to say, I came to the Yelp event weeks ago as a happy future customer and could not wait to come back. Now I'm leaving, probably not wanting to come back. Complete 360 turn on me, wow. read more

I have been wanting to come to Tigawok for so long. I was finally in Burbank and decided to stop by. You can try your luck at street parking, however, it will cost you or you can just park in the free parking structure! First off, the service is awesome. Friendly smiles all around. The concept is great. You can pick items and they tell you the cost of everything up front. You are able to try the items before too. I ended up ordering rice with pork sauce, chow mein, cola chicken, and eggplant with string beans. The rice and chow mein dish were good but the other main dishes I got were okay. I don't think I would get them again. There was nothing that I ordered that I really enjoyed or wanted to eat more of. They do have a rotating menu so maybe there will be something you will like. Another thing, I really love the packaging. The bowls are super cute. I love that if you don't finish it, you can get a lid for it and it stays on very well. Overall, it will be a good place to pick up a fast affordable meal if you're in the area. read more

The service is fast and the food is good. We were disappointment eating the meal that it was just a big huge piece of fat not just one but a few pieces of just fat. The soda is refillable which was nice. Great place before a movie. In and out in minutes. The ambiance is a little noisy with music playing in the background and people working on their computer and even watching movie. Next time I think I'll just keep to the rice and vegetables and no meat. Still filling read more

2nd try of tigawok, first time at this specific location. The other location on my first try was unimpressive but decided to give it another shot once this location opened. Had the pork buns, the tiga cola chicken, Brussels sprouts, rice, and chow mein which I enjoyed shockingly considering I normally don't like chow mein. The orange chicken in both locations was kinda crispy which was my only negative vs soft like their other chicken option. Still good overall and the Brussels sprouts were the highlight of the meal read more

I came here recently for an event and was intrigued by the flavors. I like how you can pick out a meal that compliments your taste buds and it has an indication on each bowl for allergies and spice levels. I also like how these portions seem small but are actually big enough to share with another person. I grabbed the green bean and eggplant dish, as well as the honey sweetened black tea, both were really good! Service was great, inside has tables and a standing area as well. Located directly across from AMC. Parking is around back in the structure off orange. read more

My family & I got a late lunch from TigaWok last Sunday. We arrived past 2pm and there wasn't a line. A staff member helped us quickly and patiently as we added more & more items to our tray. The restaurant space's bright and spacious with plenty of indoor seating, but we didn't stay since we got takeaway. We ordered a combo with Chow Mein, Orange Peel Chicken, Steamed Veggies, and Tiga Iced Tea (not pictured); and extra sides of Chow Mein, Garlic Eggplant & Green Beans, and Wagyu Mapo Tofu. I thought all of the items were tasty, albeit a bit greasy. My fave item was the Garlic Eggplant & Green Beans because it was flavorful and paired well with the other items. Most of the food was still warm when we got home, but the Chow Mein was on the colder side. I was getting vibes of elevated Chinese fast food from TigaWok, and I'd return if I was craving this type of food. Also, I liked their packaging; it made for cute presentation, and the containers were reusable & microwavable! read more

Tigawok is packed with flavor and attention to detail! The Wagyu Rice Bowl beautifully combines Taiwanese flavors with tender wagyu beef--comforting and rich. The Mapo Tofu hits the perfect balance of spicy and silky, with braised wagyu beef adding another layer of depth. The Kung Pao Chicken is sweet and nutty, while the Hunan Spicy Beef definitely lives up to its name, delivering heat without losing flavor. Even the little things stand out--the condiments (marinated daikon and sizzling spicy sauce) are delicious and unique on their own. Plus, everything comes in cute microwave-safe containers with lids, and they even provide reusable bags, which is such a thoughtful touch. Quality food, bold flavors, and great presentation--Tigawok has it all! read more

This is my first visit to LA's robot-powered Chinese restaurant. Food- I tried their Chow mein, Sweet tomatoes and scrambled eggs, dry pot Brussels sprouts, Orange chicken, Mapo tofu vegetarian style dishes. All the dishes were tasty and my favorite was chow mein. They also do catering services which is a plus. Service- all the staff were nice, attentive, and service was fast and robot wok machines were continuously making foods in the back kitchen. Ambiance- this place is clean with plenty of chairs to sit down and eat with family or friends.

While waiting for a movie at the AMC16, I stumbled upon the soft opening of the second Tigawok location here in Burbank. I was immediately impressed by the cleanliness of the store layout, with bright lights, soft teal and white walls, and comfortable seating. The workers were extremely friendly and walked me through the concept. You can select your food option(s) and the size(s): 8 ounces for most of the items and 16 ounces for the three bases (steamed rice, chow mein noodles or wagyu kurobuta rice). You can mix and match however you like, or add them together with a beverage for a combination. The mini bowls are microwaveable as well, should you wish to take your order to go. The staff are happy to provide you with as many samples as you like (no judgment). After taking in the initial notes, I decided to go with 8 ounce bowl of orange peel chicken and an 8 ounce bowl of Brussels Sprouts. Both of these items were quite tasty and a few steps above other fast food Chinese restaurants. The prices are also very reasonable, with my two items being under $10, including tax. They offer utensils, chopsticks and even some floss picks and lemon or peach mints as refreshments after your meal. This is a great new spot offering good food, quickly. Restrooms are beautifully clean and well-stocked. Tons of free parking in nearby garages. Check them before or after their Soft Opening on August 16th. Tigawok just made a play for solid Chinese Fast Food and their opening hand is quite strong. read more

TLDR: 4/5 - Something affordable this way comes! Tasty food (which has the potential to be great), convenient price and thrilled to have on my rotation. I've come here more than once now just to give a more full bodied review so here is my comprehensive experience. Ordered: Orange chicken: 4.5/5 - I hate to be basic but I think this is one of the superior meat options here. I've sampled a few but i keep coming back to this one. I was sort of taken back by the portions here. Maybe its just all about plating but I was almost full by the time I was finished with my meal and I only had two dishes. My only gripe with this and the reason its not a 5/5 is because it has this weird note of sweetness in it that I wasn't expecting but maybe I just haven't had orange chicken from somewhere else in a while. It threw me off initially. Potato noodles: 3/5 - Again a lot of potential there but it fell a little short for me. It had this acidity to it that made it the only thing you could really taste. Other than that it lacked flavor. Eggplant: 4/5 - Love my roasted eggplant! It just needs a dash of more flavor but once that's in its going places. It was perfectly cooked (which is easy to mess up). Service: 5/5 - Lovely folks! Vibe: 4/5 - Its cool. My only note here is that the music could be two notches lower. I've never heard of this place before in sawtelle this so forgive me. But I will say I've been in this area for decades and I've been yearning for something like this: the perfect quick bite. As much stuff as there is in the area there's nothing quite affordable and tasty that will satisfy my random movie watching hour. Its just what I need. And you can pack it up to go so easily! Despite my critics it will definitely still be a go to for the forseeable future. read more
