A Guide To LA Restaurants Going Viral On TikTok Right Now
"Verdict: This fast-casual Chinese spot is a hungry college student’s dream. For less than $20, load up on mini bowls of dishes cooked in automated woks. If Panda Express served food that was more traditional Chinese than Chinese American, it might look like this fast-casual spot on Sawtelle, which blew up on social media for cooking its dishes with self-tumbling “robot” woks. The more obvious reason for Tigawok’s popularity, though, is the 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 they offer sides of chili paste and pickled radishes for free. Everything is well-seasoned, the long lines move quickly, and you’ll have enough food for lunch the next day. What’s not to like?" - sylvio martins, brant cox, nicolas zhou
