First time coming here. The reviews of this place were good so my wife and I thought we'd try this place. It was 9pm on a Friday night and the place was full (granted the place is small). My wife and I got the last table. We ordered one stir fried squid, one egg omelette and one Kim Chee pancake. The waitress informed us that it will be a little while before the food comes out. One hour and ten minutes later we finally got our food. I noticed there were only two guys making the food so I'm not sure if that's why it took so long. The food wasn't anything special. Egg omelette was average which probably was expected considering there's only so much you can do with an egg omelette. Sadly enough I had better Kim Chee pancakes at some of the Korean restaurants in town. My wife thought the stir fried squid was also average and had better at the Korean restaurants. Maybe it was an off night for them being they only had two cooks and they were busy so maybe they were rushing to make everyone's order. Needless to say I'm not sure if I would try here again. read more

Book the karaoke room if it's free. And def plan to eat there--the food is so good! Esp loved the doshirak

Got a little lost trying to find this tiny little place but had a good time. Our group of 5 had no trouble getting a table at 7 PM on a Friday night so that was great! The food is really good and there's a nice variety of dishes on the menu. Drinks felt a little pricey (IDK if they have a happy hour or anything). The service was alright but as with most places it helps if you can speak the language. read more

Restaurant is very clean and is extremely well decorated. Although the restaurant is a bit small, their service and food is amazing. They also have two karaoke rooms available so you can dine and sing at the same time. My all time favorite dish at this restaurant is the spicy pork skin and corn cheese. The spicy pork skin is not too spicy but still has a nice kick to it. The restaurant has a very nice vibe and I'd recommend this place to anyone looking for good food and a good time!! read more

Pigs for days! They sure love their pigs here! http://bit.ly/17IGm4f It's their bar mascot, per our friendly and attentive waiter, Dante. Pigs are considered very lucky in Korean culture, so it's no wonder the owner loves this wonderfully delicious creature. Various pig sculptures and figurines of all shapes and colors are proudly displayed at the bar. They're so damn cute that I almost wanted to take them home, lol! Located on the ground level, within the Title Guarantee Escrow Building on 1350 South King Street, right next to Cafe Sistina. - As you pass Cafe Sistina, you'll see their parking entrance to your immediate left. There's lots of free parking stalls avail. The restaurant is located towards the end of the lot, towards Young Street. It'll be the only lit up place at night, lol. The interior is humble and cozy with just 4 booths and a small bar area. The bar stools faces their small open kitchen. There's also 2 karaoke rooms avail for small groups. - First come, first serve. No hourly rental fees. - $1 per song - You could call ahead to reserve as well. The food is mainly anju/Korean snack foods/pupus that you'd normally find in your usual Korean bars. There's a small soup and stew section as well. - Happy hour is 6pm-8pm, but for food only. - A bottle of soju is $10. Cheap, compared to most places. Page 1 of menu: http://bit.ly/1Awpb2f Page 2 of menu: http://bit.ly/1JmNpQv The food we ordered were overall tasty, but a bit pricey for the amount you get. FRIED CHICKEN WINGS ($12 HH, $15 reg price): http://bit.ly/1AwtURv - Crunchy wings fried to a golden finish. It was lightly floured and seasoned simply with salt and pepper. - Also available in a spicy and/or soy sauce glaze too. FRIED SQUID/OJINGEO TWIGGIM ($15): http://bit.ly/1DiBsI6 Long strips of calamari fried to perfection. The coating was thin and crunchy. I loved that it didn't fall apart when you bite into it. The perfect drinking food! HAEMUL PAJEON/SEAFOOD SCALLION PANCAKE ($15): http://bit.ly/1AKpDs7 The only "seafood" in this jeon was squid, but there was lots of it in every bite. The sweet scallions were not at all overpowering, very nice and tender, sweet tasting. - I asked for them to make it "crispy" but it was still doughy in the middle. No biggie, it was still delicious. SPICY GARLIC SHRIMP (10 shrimps for $15): http://bit.ly/1JmNwM0 These shrimps were nice and plump. Leaving the shells on during cooking, kept them nice and juicy. My friend ate his peeled, I ate it shells and all, it was that good! - The garlicky gochujang sauce was sweet and spicy, and complimented the sweet shrimps very well. I kept dipping my fried calamari into the sauce, lol. Overall, a nice bar that's chill and relaxing. I'll probably be back to try out their soups and stews. (3.5 stars rounded up) read more

It's a cute bar where you can actually talk! Not loud at all. It has a pretty big menu and the folks running the place are nice. I got budae jjigae, which was good, but I was surprised that ramyun noodles were extra... Usually that's one of the main components of the dish. I wanted to use the karaoke as well but since the space is intimate I was afraid the noise might be distracting to other customers. Maybe I'll try next time, as I will definitely be back! read more

I love this place!! I come here every time I miss good bar food from Seoul! They have a really good extensive menu - I tried about half of the items and everything has been delicious! Free karaoke rooms and $1 per song pay as you go! read more

My favorite place hands down to go to unwind. It's really intimate and they have two karaoke rooms. It reminds me of Korea town/Korea where I used to go back home. I like all there food and there's a happy hour! I usually get spicy pork, spicy rice cake, sweet potato sticks, or soondae nmmmmmmmmm. Usually quiet atmosphere where you can talk with friends. read more

Visited with couple of my Korean friends that were in town.. Great food, dakdoritang was awesome - broth so delicious! Gizzards were great, only draw back not too attentive service and hardly break a smile! read more

If I make plans to drink with my friends, I tend to come to this bar first. It has been open for quite a long time but it still isn't well-known to the public yet. I've only seen Korean customers so it feels like I'm in Korea. It is kind of hidden to begin with, but basically it's right across from 'Spero Spera' (which has been getting really popular lately) on Young Street. Parking is very convenient. Once you go in, it may seem very small (2 karaoke rooms and 4 tables outside). However, as it isn't as busy as other bars, you should be able to get a seat right away. I usually go during happy hour (6-8 pm) to eat dinner and drink at the same time (to save money too). The choices aren't that diverse but it's enough to get you full. One of the other major factors that influence me to go here is the soju price. It is relatively cheaper than other bars ($10). read more

Cafe Princess Pig - Bars Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Being Korean, it is my cultural responsibility to review every bar in a given area. Ok, I obviously made that up, but Koreans are notorious for our drinking prowess (or would that be more of a curse haha?). Anyway, I have soft spot in my heart for these small, hole in the wall Korean bars--NOT THAT KINDA KOREAN BAR!--since the food and ambiance just screams, "comfort," and "familiar." Although a little hidden from plain view, Princess Pig is a quaint bar that has surprisingly good food. That might sound a bit unkind, but I have been painfully disappointed many times in the past by bars that say they make Korean food. And although you'll find your typical bar staples like fries and fried chicken, my heart and stomach are always set on the more traditional Korean fares like soondae (Korean blood sausage) and tripe. And for those who want a little bit of everything, get the doshirak (basically the Korean word for bento box), which comes with rice, egg, kimchi, myeolchi (Korean seasoned anchovies), and gochujang (red pepper paste). The best way to eat one of these doshirak boxes is to pop the lid on first, then shake the hell out of it, so the contents get evenly mixed up inside. As good as the food is here, the bar aspect of Princess Pig is fairly disappointing. Now don't get me wrong, you can and you will get pretty drunk here if you give yourself the chance. And if you're coming to a Korean bar, I'm sure you're in the mood for soju, and that Princess Pig has aplenty. However, aside from soju, beer, and a few different types of hard liquor, you're not gonna find much variety of drinks to order from. The majority of times I've been here was for a pau hana type of deal. After a long day of work, there isn't anything better than just unwinding with some coworkers. And if you're in the mood to sing, Princess Pig also has a private room with a karaoke machine because we all know after a few drinks everyone sounds like a professional. Sigh. I really wanna give Princess Pig a higher rating. Believe me, I really do. I mean I come here so often it seems that I'm almost obligated to. And in all honesty, if I could give them 3.5 stars I would easily do that. But the bar limitations and the very limited space available in the bar itself won't let me do so. But 3 stars is still better than average, and better than average is pretty much the best way to describe it here. read more

So I came here once and really enjoyed it. It's BYOB, but just in case, make sure you don't have any underage kids with you (you never know when the po-po might come in and not just at this place). The food there is delicious and has a certain vintage Korean look to the place. They also have karaoke rooms where you just add a dollar for a song. Sometimes you just want to hang out with friends and your throat hurts after singing, so you're not wasting any money and time like at other karaoke places. I don't know when I'll be going back there again but I will go back! LOL! read more

Service is great, it looks like a family owned business with the father and son working in the kitchen and the daughter as a waitress.. food was average and alittle pricey but service was great. It was about 7pm on a Friday night and there were seatings available. We ordered the fried chicken and pork belly stir fry. It's a lot smaller inside the bar than I thought. I will come back to try their other dishes. read more

This is a Korean bar. For food, I tried the tofu with Kimchi and Korean spicy sea snails. Both plates were delicious, a little too spicy for what I can handle so if you are not into spicy food you should probably mention it. Very chill ambiance and the owner was super friendly. For drinks, they have flavored soju, I tried the grapefruit one, it is now my new favorite. read more

After work on a Friday night, my amazing coworkers dragged me out to this small Korean bar for food and drinks, and they have never led me astray so I would go anywhere with them even if I haven't checked Yelp for reviews =P By the way, I love bad translations - this makes me like this place so much more because I just find it so charming! But it's kind of small and I haven't even heard of this place before (my inner hipster is pleased though). I would probably go back because it was fun to just hang out. The food was pretty good but I let everyone else order for me so I don't know specifics - one chicken dish that came with salt and pepper to dip, the Korean kimchi pancake thing, and a bibimbap-like dish where you close the lid shake it all up. Though we definitely had the oden, which was somewhat spicy but not "oh god it burns" spicy. I'm assuming they have their liquor license now (versus the BYOB rule before) because we ordered some beers and soju as well. Karaoke was still $1.00 per song if you get their rooms as mentioned by someone before, and I guess the muted Korean music videos made for good eye candy whether you sing or not. I can't tell if this is a pro or con, but the rooms are not sound proof, so while I enjoyed tormenting everyone with that, I can't help but think that it might be a little annoying for the people outside. The downside was our room's wonky door handle - you have to lift up the door handle to properly close it - my efforts to dampen our music quickly were so futile! read more

They just had renovation at this place with new menus. kind of small but a great place to visit with 2 karaoke rooms and around 9 tables + bar. for food I suggest Korean lunch box, Chicken Salad, all their soup is great. Definitely a great place to go for Korean food and soju read more

Excellent Korean bar foods. Strongly recommend for small group hangouts. Parking lot free and convenient access.

It was weird. Bad beer selection. Expensive food. Just had a really akward feel to it. Also it was empty.
