The 16 Best Restaurants On West LA's Sawtelle Boulevard - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"If Panda Express served food that was more traditional Chinese than Chinese American, it might look like this fast-casual spot on Sawtelle, which cooks its dishes with self-tumbling "robot" woks. The more obvious reason for Tigawok’s popularity, though, is their big portions of good food for cheap. A tray loaded with mini bowls of stewed wagyu with rice, black bean pepper pork, orange peel chicken, sauteed shredded potatoes, and stir-fried tomato-egg costs around $20, plus housemade chili paste and pickled radishes are free. Everything tastes fresh and well-seasoned, the long lines move quickly, and you’ll probably have enough food for the next day's lunch." - brant cox, sylvio martins, arden shore, cathy park
