Went here after my wife saw it on TikTok and wanted to try it mainly because of all the gluten free options they offer. I did a pickup order for dinner and when I got there there was a huge line out the door which immediately made me think ok this place must be good. And it was. I was honestly really impressed by the quality. Everything tasted fresh and cooked right then and there not frozen or reheated like you sometimes get at other fast casual spots. We ordered the gluten free orange chicken for my wife and she absolutely loved it did not even let me have a bite and ate the entire thing herself. Great zest great punch exactly what she was hoping for. For myself I ordered the shiitake pepper chicken and kung pao chicken both of which had a serious kick but amazing flavor. The guy helping me I believe his name was Kevin was super patient and kind and let me try a bunch of the dishes before ordering which was huge. Shoutout to him because he nailed the recommendations. Both dishes were spicy but so flavorful and still hot even when I got home which I love. The ratio of chicken to peppers and onions was perfect. Chow mein was also solid I just wish there were a bit more noodles compared to the veggies but it helped balance out the heat. Overall this place is a win and feels like a healthier quicker Chipotle style spot but for Chinese food. Definitely recommend and we have already been back since.

Great spot for mini bowls!
The noodles were springy and full of flavor, and the braised dishes were rich but not greasy. You can really tell the food is freshly made.
Everything came out fast, and the staff was super nice. A solid go-to when you want something comforting and delicious.

Omg came to Tigawok because its a new fast & healthy Chinese restaurant next to omomo
O really liked the interior & foods. Their oolong tea was refreshing as well. It was cool to know robots made our meals. The food were good . I would definitely recommend the green bean egg plate, rice with pork, tomato & egg, orange chicken, kungpao, wonton, dumplings, steamed pork buns , mapo tofu * tasted mild * , their beef hunan spicy beef , cabbage, tiga cola chicken, xiao long baos, chiwmein , & the brussel sprout. The service was awesome as each person explained the menu so kindly & let us try samples. Each dish is less than $6 or $7 which was affordable despite eating in Irvine. Loved this chinese fast restaurant

Tigawok just opened in Irvine and my family and I had the chance to check it out during their soft opening. Wow, what a cool experience! The food is really tasty, flavorful, and surprisingly affordable as not much is affordable these days. What makes it extra unique is that the dishes are actually cooked by AI robotic woks , so everything comes out good. It’s so crazy to think about it.
We tried a variety of mini bowls, which are perfect for my family with kids. We can order a little of every dishes and they come with lid that you can just cap it and bring home the leftovers.
The staff is still getting into the flow since they just opened, but everyone was friendly and eager to help. Try get there early to avoid the long lines.
If you’re in Irvine, definitely give Tigawok a try! It’s right next to Omomo, Trader Joe’s on Culver & Walnut. Excited to go back and try more dishes!

The food is cooked by robots –but honestly, the flavors are just as good as a human chef’s (some are even better!).
Prices are amazing, ranging from only $1.99-$6.99, which makes it easy to try a variety of dishes. We ordered several and shared:
* Garlic eggplant & green beans (so flavorful, with a perfect mix of crunch and tenderness)
* Tiga wagyu beef curry (rich and comforting)
* Dry-pot Brussels sprouts (perfectly spiced with a little kick)
* Pepper kurobuta pork (little spicy and savory)
* Orange peel chicken (not overly sweet like Panda Express–balanced and delicious)
For my base, I had the chow mein, and I actually like it more than Panda Express–the noodles weren’t greasy and came with lots of fresh, crunchy veggies. My parents couldn’t stop raving about the soup dumplings (xiao long bao). We also loved the unique, well-designed food containers, and the oolong tea was the perfect pairing.
Overall, Tigawok is a gem–delicious, affordable, and such a cool concept. Definitely worth checking out!

This is one of those places that feels like a real find once you understand what they are doing.
Tigawok is not a traditional Chinese takeout spot with preset combo numbers. Instead, you build your meal a la carte, choosing individual dishes and your base, so you are paying for exactly what you want. Once that clicks, the value becomes very clear. You can try multiple dishes, customize your plate, and skip filler items you do not want. For example, if you are on a keto diet, you can easily avoid rice or noodles.
One of the photos shows how busy the restaurant gets, and that is not an accident. People are drawn to places that are consistently active, and Tigawok clearly has a strong following. Despite the crowds, the operation runs efficiently and the line moves quickly.
The way the food is served is also worth explaining. Dishes come out in individual mini bowls, which at first glance might give the impression that portions are small. They are not. Another photo shows everything transferred onto a plate, and it becomes obvious how much food you actually get. The “mini bowls” approach is about customization and presentation, not portion size, and the total volume is very generous.
The space itself is modern, clean, and thoughtfully designed. It feels like a step up from traditional takeout without the cost or time commitment of a sit down restaurant. Service has been consistently excellent. The staff are friendly, patient, and efficient, and they do a great job walking first timers through the menu.
What really stands out is the quality. Even something as simple as the steamed white rice is noticeably well done. The grains are high quality and carefully cooked, not an afterthought. Many dishes are prepared using robotic woks, which deliver that unmistakable wok hei flavor you usually only get from very experienced chefs, but with impressive consistency.
Standout dishes include the Tiga Cola Chicken, perfectly balanced between sweet and savory with real depth, their take on Orange Peel Chicken, far more flavorful than the standard fast food version, and the curry with white rice on the side, rich, aromatic, and deeply satisfying.
Pricing is very reasonable given the quality and freshness of the ingredients. It sits in a great middle ground. A clear step up from standard takeout, less expensive than sit down dining, and fully competitive with higher end fast casual in terms of execution.
If you care about good ingredients, thoughtful preparation, and the ability to customize your meal without sacrificing flavor or value, Tigawok is absolutely worth a visit.

Interesting new Asian-style restaurant with food served in a buffet style. I was surprised at how cheap it was, around $3-6 for each of the general items. I ordered the tomato scrambled eggs, orange chicken, chow mein, and mabo tofu. Although I didn’t dine in the well-lit seating area, the takeout experience was above average since they provide some neat reusable containers and a reusable bag as well. Food was quite delicious for the price and not oily. Will be back again next time to try their other dishes. It’s a great place to enjoy a comforting dinner with plenty of seating outside and Omomo right by!

Authentic Chinese home-style dishes! The robot wok cooking was surprisingly good!! The stir-fried pork, tomato eggs, and mapo tofu were all excellent. Will definitely come back

Tagged the “Mini Bowl Specialists”, Tigawok opened its Irvine location about a month ago. The restaurant is sandwiched between Starbucks and Omomo Tea Shoppe at the corner of Culver and Walnut in a shopping center anchored by a Trader Joe’s. Parking is limited and may be hard to come by, especially during peak hours. There is almost always a wait outside of Omomo, and you can expect one outside Tigawok too. Seating is also limited inside the restaurant, but additional tables can be found outside.
The Tigawok menu is fairly basic but when you see the dishes served in front of you, it’s hard not to want to try everything. If you’re dining in, Tigawok recommends the following 4-step process:
1 – Take your tray
2 – Choose a staple
3 – Choose your mini bowls
4 – Pay for your order
Between our family of three, we ordered the Braised Pork & Wagyu Beef Rice Bowl and Chow Mein as our staples. Our mini bowls included the Steamed Soup Dumplings, Wagyu Mapo Tofu, Hunan Spicy Beef, Potato Shreds with Bean Sprouts, and Pepper Kurobuta Pork. By far, my favorites were the Wagyu Rice Bowl (expect a hint of sweetness), the Mapo Tofu and Kurobuta Pork. Best of all the staples and mini bowls are so affordable priced! Their website mentions an “ever-evolving menu”, so I can’t wait to visit again to try something new.

Introduced by friends, I visited this mini bowl cooking robot restaurant for lunch today — and it truly exceeded my expectations!
There was a short line at the entrance, but it moved quickly. Ordering was simple and smooth — select, pay, sit, and eat — no extra waiting time since everything is freshly prepared and ready to serve.
The restaurant offers plenty of seating, both indoors and outdoors. If you prefer takeout, they even provide a self-serve station with eco-friendly boxes, utensils, and bags. Such a thoughtful and considerate setup from the owner!
Now, about the food — absolutely delicious! As a Chinese person, I have to say the flavors are impressively authentic. I honestly didn’t expect a QSR (quick service restaurant) – with food powered by cooking robots, to deliver such quality and taste!!!
Can’t wait to see more of their locations opening across North America!
