I hate to do this, especially on a first review, but I honestly did not enjoy my food.
Found Tyga Bites on DoorDash today. Never heard of it, so I figured it was a rebranding of a chain restaurant like Applebee's and others have done with delivery services. Turns out it's a new chain of restaurants started by rapper Tyga. Menus sounded good, so I gave it a shot.
Ordered a wide variety to get a feel for the place. Seems like everything is baked, not fried like you'd expect. It all tasted pretty much like it was from a concession stand at a ball game. The quality just wasn't there. Between the boneless bites, bone-in wings, and sweet potato tots, the wings had the best crisp to them. Although baked is healthier, the quality suffers. Tried all three dusts. Lemon pepper was so salty and strong I had to start wiping it off. The black garlic and peri peri didn't have a ton of flavor. Probably would've been better off trying plain. Got five dipping sauces: tamarind chipotle, Caribbean, Korean bbq, garlic parm, and classic ranch. Caribbean and Korean bbq had the best flavor but didn't pair well with any of the dusts. Ranch ended up being the favorite, which is a let down when the others all sounded so good.
Overall it was just a disappointing experience. Wasn't one thing I can say I actually enjoyed. The concept is great but the execution just isn't there. Seems like they skimped on the quality of the ingredients or something. Feel free to give it a try, but my wife said it too, this was a 2-star experience. read more
