Food is really good. Had the combination pho and wonton with egg noodles. Broth was done very well for both and ingredients were delicious. The decor is really nice. Unexpected for a pho shop.

Tigon is excellent, above par, a hidden gem on San Pablo. I've probably been here 5-6 times now with my fiance. She gets the same thing every time: Catfish Sweet and Sour Soup and she swears it gets better every single time. On the other hand, I try something new every time because each dish I've had has been better than the last. Catfish Claypot, Pho, and Papaya Salad are all big hitters.

Beautiful place, soon as you walk in it feels like you are out the country. Food is delicious and very generous amount of food. Service top notch. Definitely coming back and highly recommended.
