The mini buns are nice snack for the kids too.

Is the place clean?

Hidden in Sawtelle’s bustling One Westside complex, Tigawok’s sleek, minimalist interior feels almost clinical in its cleanliness – even “sterile like an operating room” – with blond-wood accents that one critic likened to dining inside an IKEA.

Is the food authentic?

Speaking from a Chinese myself, the dishes are well portioned and very authentically tasty.

Is the place worth it?

I love this restaurant. Great prices for great food to go along with amazing customer service.

Is the food oily?

Decent food, like a nicer Panda Express. Does that sound like an insult? It’s because the food seems riddled with oil, sugar and salt.

How is the variety?

Love all the small dish options, feels like I could come here multiple times a week and not get tired of the food given the variety.
