Tiger Bites Pig is a Taiwanese inspired restaurant at 30 Church Street in Birmingham city centre. The independent business began in 2018 and moved to its current Church Street home in 2024, creating a compact destination for bao, rice bowls and small plates.
Handmade bao are central to the menu, their steamed buns filled with combinations that balance richness, freshness, acidity and heat. Rice bowls provide a more substantial alternative, while snacks and sides let diners build a meal for sharing. The cooking draws on Taiwanese flavours without presenting the selection as rigidly traditional.
The kitchen makes important elements in house and works with selected local suppliers where practical. Careful preparation gives simple looking dishes plenty of depth, from slow cooked fillings to pickles, sauces and crisp garnishes. Vegetarian choices allow the format to work for diners with different preferences.
Its central location suits lunch, an early evening meal or a casual stop with friends. The short, focused menu encourages diners to combine a bao or bowl with a side rather than navigate an oversized list. Guests with allergies or dietary requirements should check the current menu and speak with the team before ordering.
Address: 30 Church Street, Birmingham B3 2NP, England
