Tiger Fork sister restaurant set to open in Urbanspace Food Hall
We’re learning more about He Hei Tiger, opening in the Tysons Galleria Mall Urbanspace Food Hall. The concept will adopt the Cantonese-style cuisine of sister Tiger Fork. Blagden Group Hospitality, its parent, says there will be Chinese BBQ, Hong Kong-style Noodle Bowls and Milk Tea. The group’s publicist also confirmed Hei Hei Tiger will run as a fine-fast casual restaurant in an emailed announcement.

He’s a former general manager at Ted’s Bulletin and Matchbox. Fung also served as a sushi chef at Sushiko and founded the Dirty South Deli food truck.
