Tigon in El Cerrito

Great flavors and a fun experience! Had the 7 courses of beef and was impressed by all of them. Its on the pricer side, but definitely worth it. Staff was friendly and helpful. Highly recommend it!

What a great spot for Vietnamese food. Loved everything I tasted. The spring rolls were so yummy. The drinks were great. The atmosphere was that of being overseas. The staff were like family. Wow wow wow.

Really high reviews from Yelp and Google (4.5+) - seemed like a no-brainer to check this place out for some Vietnamese food one night.But man ... the place was not good. The Tigon Lettuce Wraps were super odd - dried shrimp, diced lime (including pith and peel!), some funky hoison sauce ... every bite just was so bitter from the lime and unsatisfying/disconnected tasting.The second dish was stir-fried rice noodles with Chicken - but what came out was a super bland. The chicken and rice noodles had no browing - the sauced was a thickened/MSG mixture, and the veggies were frozen cut pieces of Cauliflower, Celery, and Carrots --- sprinkled with black pepper. Nothing wrong with greasy-spoon Chinese, but this fell short of even that mark --- I thought we came out for Vietnamese dishes? Wheres the basil? Lemongrass? etcWe took the check early when final dish was forgotten. Cute, family place - but food could be improved.

This place is a nice surprise. From the outside you cant tell how large the inside really is, the space feels gigantic.Food was delicious.I really enjoyed the spring rolls and the crispy golden nest noodles dish. Sauce soaking into crispy noodle, you gotta try it.It was a hoot when the owners 5-year old came over and said, Thats a lot of food, are you sure you can finish it? You can share, or swap.We got a laugh out of that!I was really shy at that age. 😂Highly recommend the place.

High quality ingredients and delicious food in a wide menu. Tigon serves wonderful vietnamese cuisine in a vivid forest themed ambiance

Need some vietnamese food that fills and makes you happy. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND stopping by Tigon and getting your fill. Heres what I would say to try, for appetizers, go for the chicken wings, entree, I would suggest the hot pot with vermicelli (seafood/beef with light broth for me, keep in mind it feeds for 3 🤣), and desert the fried banana and ice cream. First time eating here and the best experience so far. Also, big location with multiple sitting arrangements to meet any of your needs 😊.

I just learned that this restaurant changed ownership from the previous Nong Thon restaurant and decided to give it a try. The menu was upgraded with many more new dishes (which made me so excited!!!!!!).They kept the interior decoration pretty much the same, and add more flowers and more lights, which I love it. The quality and presentation of their food is much better.I love their Fried shrimp rolls, that is a MUST TRY dish, guys!!!! also their Beef Pho and huge fresh spring rolls are delicious too. The portion of food is big and reasonable to compare with the price.I ordered the Crispy fried noodle, and requested them to make the sauce separately. I added the sauce a little bit at a time to my noodle so that I can have the noodle crispy until my last bite.One thing I love from this restaurant is that they are very flexible with your order, you can modify and ask them to make it special customized as you want. 10 points for their customer services.

Great venue and good food.I love the hot pot and the chicken and beans dish.

Service is toooo slow. Have to wait ~45mins to get our food served.

We got food togo. When we walked in to pick up the food, the place looked a little empty (Sunday at 1230pm). However, the inside of the restaurant looked really clean and well organized.We ordered:Shrimp crisp rolls: crispy, delicious and flavorful.Crispy egg rolls: not really worth it, ratio of ingredients was off, felt like there was a lot of taro and not enough meat.Papaya salad: papaya is cut in waffle cut shape. My friend said it made it harder to eat. Flavor was okay.Chicken salad: solid, could have a little bit more chicken but the flavors and combo came together well.Pho Ga: decent. There is no good pho places near by, so this pho doesn’t have much competition. The broth is crisp and clear; good for when you’re ill.Rice plate: you got to choose 2 meats/appetizers. It wasn’t as amazing as I was hoping it’d be. I usually love this dish and felt that the proportions were a bit sad and the flavor was only mediocre.Thai ice tea: too sweetOverall good place for a night out with Asian parents; pricey for what you are getting.
