Menya TIGRE

japanese curry is my favorite thing to eat in the world, and I give Menya Tigre a 10/10. it is a notch better than any other curry restaurant that I have been to outside of Japan.go there. you won't be disappointed with the curry.

Introduced Sawtelle Blvd. to my partner for the first time who just moved from the East Coast, and this was my first spot to show him. It's next to Hermanito, another one of my favorite spots, and we immediately got seated inside by the welcoming hosts. Within seconds our waiter greeted us and asked to get us something to drink. We landed on the Curry Ramen as an entree and Shishito Peppers as an appetizer. Both were so rich in flavor and honestly took us by surprise of the curry + ramen combo. To add to the experience, they were playing really good music like funk, reggae, dancehall and dub. It was such a vibe! We will def be back for that curry ramen And if you get a chance, visit Hermanito for some quality drinks!

Sawtelle has SO many great food options and Menya TIGRE is definitely one of them. It's a pretty small shop with limited indoor/outdoor seating, but we were able to be seated immediately on a weeknight around 8 pm. The staff are super kind and I honestly love that their menu really only has a few options.I got the curry ramen which was incredibly savory and filling. The curry sauce had a beautiful umami taste with the chicken broth, though it was a bit salty. The pork chashu was a decent size for one serving. I ended up taking a lot of the actual ramen noodles home as leftovers. Flavorful food, reasonable portions, great service!

3.5 starsI believe this restaurant is the sister restaurant to Anzu, a karaage shop located right around the corner. Admittedly, I've never tried Anzu and, instead, came to Menya Tigre for curry rice. This time, I ordered the Shrimp Katsu Curry Rice ($17.50) & I enjoyed it. The food was piping hot and the white rice was very well-made. The shrimp's exterior was so crispy on the outside that I think I scraped the roof of my mouth with it. But, don't worry, the shrimp within was perfectly juicy. The curry was the kind of spicy that builds over time, but remains appetizingly mild/medium-spicy.Overall, a decent & satisfying meal. Service was quick & there's free 2-hr parking in the back for customers. The next time I need to schlep out to the office, I'll stop by to try their tsukemen curry.

Walked in with a friend on a whim since I was craving some katsu curry and didn't want coco ichibanya (tried to change it up since I usually go there for katsu curry). I was pleasantly surprised! It was very tasty and filling- I had to take half the katsu home. Service was super efficient and friendly! I'd def stop by again soon.

It's not bad but is there better?Their specialty is curry so be prepared. There's a little bit of variety but it is almost extensively curry. For example you can order either curry rice or curry ramen. There isn't a plain option. The rice curry is limited to fried...chicken, pork or shrimp. There's no beef, stewed or vegetarian option, no egg, mushroom or spinach add-ons either. Then there's the noodles - it's either curry ramen or curry tsukemen (at least the curry is in a dipping bowl). The chicken karaage can be an appetizer by itself (thankfully without curry) but it too can be served as chicken karaage curry ramen or over curry rice.Everything was okay but nothing really stood out. I definitely want to point out that the portions are large. My pork cutlet was enough for two people to split. It was on the less tasty side and the curry lacked any real flavor. The chicken karaage appetizer, however, was tasty and a good size with many delicious pieces. It was probably the best thing here.On Sawtelle, there are definitely better places for ramen and better places for curry. It's hard to do both well. The wait must have been long elsewhere and so you ended up here. If your group wants a little bit of both and really likes curry, well, this might be a good spot to try.

Great dinner experience! Quick, friendly service, clean environment and no music playing so it wasn't too loud. They have very limited seating so most people sit outside. In terms of food the Beef Bowl was delicious, especially adding the flaky garlic on top. The fatty beef over rice was amazing!! The curry over ramen was alright but ramen noodles were good texture. Chasu bowl $8 was great ramen $21 meh .Would come again for the bowls!

We ordered take out for our holiday staff meeting from this place. I was a bit hesitant as there wasn't a large variety of menu items, mostly curry based which I didn't realize when we chose this. Surprisingly the curry was excellent! They don't customize curry spiciness like CoCo Ichibanya but I enjoy curry without much spice to taste the flavor. I ordered the pork cutlet curry (includes a salad). It was a decent size and really like how flavorful the curry was! They were very accommodating and had our order ready on time. I had to minus a star for the website menu prices. This is not up to date and would be helpful. Lucky for yelp, others take pictures of the prices. =)

What We Ordered:-Chashu Curry Ramen $19.80I'm still on a mission to find the best ramen spot in LA. Everyone has a favorite spot. As I mentioned previously, the best ramen I've had to date is outside of Little Tokyo and Sawtelle. People are always telling me this place or that place is the best. I have to go see for myself. I really enjoyed my experience at Menya Tigre. We didn't arrive on empty stomachs as we eat elsewhere beforehand. I was still hungry being a big boy and all. I decided to see what this hype was all about. The service was very friendly and attentive. If you check-in you can receive fried onions or fried garlic. I asked for recommendations as I always do and settled on the Chashu Curry Ramen. It was a very good ramen in my personal opinion. It was one of the best ramen places to eat at in Sawtelle. Let me say that if you don't like curry than this place is probably not for you. This place is more geared towards curry. However, they do have no curry options available such as Tsukemen and other ramen variations. The Chashu Curry Ramen was very good. I absolutely loved the curry take on ramen. The curry broth was so delicious. I almost drank all the broth and probably would have if I wasn't so full. I highly recommend that people come here to try some delicious curry ramen. My wife didn't care for it, but she doesn't like curry so much. That's understandable! Down below. I have updated my ramen rankingsRamen Rankings1. Ramen Nagi2. Killer Noodle Tsujita3. Menya Tigre 4.

|[ l o v e d i t ]|4.75 rounded up. Wow pretty huge fan! Decided to try it out since we were in a curry mood, and the keema noodle mazemen blew my mind - super flavorful, umami and noodle texture was thick but not overly thick! The egg was perfectly poached and the vinegar sauce on the side was a great addition to this already flavorful bowl. I was full and satisfied.Tried the curry ramen also rly good/flavorful and filling. |[ e x p e r i e n c e ]|Ambiance is not bad with more seating than a lot of ramen spots, we sat on the patio and service was still attentive and efficient despite it nearing closing time. Also appreciated the small styrofoam bowl of water they gave my pups, happy pups = happy pawrents! Parking is sawtelle so varying difficulty depending on day/time but generally busy street. Can't wait to come back again! C:
