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.

I'd totally recommend the make your own spring rolls! It's super fun to make and it tastes amazing (putting the peanuts is a tasty crunchy addition). Super fun to do with the family with great service at a cute place!
