Comforting Japanese curry and curry-ramen with standout karaage; cozy Sawtelle spot with fair prices and small-space waits; a few complaints on oil and occasional dry katsu.
Menya Tigre delivers solid A-grade performance through exceptional food quality—particularly standout curry ramen and juicy karaage—paired with efficient, friendly service. Consistency shows occasional variation in execution, and the tight seating and functional design prevent the grade A territory that would require both flawless execution and distinctive ambiance. A reliable neighborhood favorite on Sawtelle's bustling strip.
One caveat: Parking is limited; expect metered street spots and possible walks
