Went here to come to check this place out for my Boyfriend's birthday. The service staff was super helpful, and since we came in pretty late on a Monday evening, there was no wait for a table. I think for the value of this Korean BBQ it's definitely worth the drive. We've gone to several different Korean BBQ restaurants around Austin that have been higher in price and not as great in meat quality. Once we were seated with our party, there was two service staff that came to assist us with the menu. It was one of the server's first shifts, and he (Peter) did great. They gauged the table for us since we brought some friends who have never done Korean BBQ and the staff assisted in cooking all the meat cuts we ordered for us. We ordered the beef combo and all the meats were seasoned well. I would definitely come back with some more friends because Korean BBQ is always best with a group! read more

Absolutely a great Korean BBQ Great sides Great prices Great Service Great Atmosphere Definitely a go to! read more

Wow. Charm used to be our favorite Korean BBQ place, followed by Chosun Galbi but Honey Pig is now are #1. The chicken was simply more flavorful, the vibe more exciting, the cold buckwheat noidles were excellent, kimchi pacake outstanding as were the sides...and service was just perfect minus a small gaffe letting the burner stay on too long. Nevermind that, the atmosphere and food and positive attention given our entire stay really sets this place apart. 5 stars, and I'll plug Soha open real late for those interested in Korean bar food over the BBQ experience. Thank you Honey Pig! read more

Great food and service! Accurate wait times and awesome atmosphere. One of our new favorites

This place was okay. I thought the sauces could be more flavorful. However, this might be the best option for Kbbq in Austin so far. I did like their galbi and pork belly. brisket was a little dry but perfect when dipped into the sesame oil/salt seasoning. Corn cheese wasn't that great since the corn was a bit hard. Service was excellent. Our waitress was so so attentive and constantly checked in on us/making sure to fill the sides and make more room on the table etc. Nice vibe inside, very spacious. read more

Honey Pig BBQ - Brisket, Galbi, spicy pork belly - Korean Near Me - Austin, Texas

Amazing! Highly recommend this restaurant. Good cuts, great service. We went multiple times during quiet and busy times, both didn't disappoint. read more

We should've done our research before assuming this place was like AYCE joint In ATL. They are a la carte and had 3 combos which wasn't appealing to our preference and the quality of meat was subpar. The corn dish was $11.99 which was basically a half can of corn and half bag of cheese. Not impressed by their banchan. The service was fairly good and attentive. The ambiance was pretty packed but efficient on the turnaround of customers. read more

This is our second visit to Honey Pig and there was no line - we arrived around 7pm on a Tuesday evening. Classic Korean bbq place vibe. They also do special props for ppl celebrating their birthday. Both the beef & pork combo platters were great. And the combo sets also come with a soup stew, a steamed egg and 3 bowls of rice. I love their marinated kalbi and bulgogi but our server was not very attentive. She was also taking care of another bbq stove and some of our meats got burned, so we just took the tools and did the bbq ourselves. I'd also suggest the restaurant to make sure that lettuce are served with the sets. We had to request for lettuce several times and every time we notified the server they only brought us 3 pieces of (mind that there were 7 of us at the table). Overall food is ok but the service really need some improvements. read more

I called ahead on a Saturday night and wait was only estimated to 15 min so we decided to check this place out. You use a tablet to check in and get text updates on your place in the waitlist. Took about 20 min -- not too bad! Plenty of indoor seating to wait. I liked the call button on the table and the vent to suck up the smoke while grilling. You will still come home smelling like KBBQ but it was nice to not have it in our face the whole time. We sat at the round table. It's pretty cramped with all the dishes that you get. Service was good. The staff hustles. I had to use the call button a couple times for water or more sides, but they were always quick to respond. Food was SO good. You can't really go wrong at KBBQ places -- just as long as the place is clean lol we did the brisket, bulgogi, and tofu soup with beef. I loved the soup. The first time my soup came out, they mistakenly brought it with seafood and I had to wait another 15ish min for my correct order but it was worth the wait. The other bummer was that the menu had a kids section but when we tried to order the kids bulgogi, the server said they don't have it available. Didn't make sense since it would just be a smaller portion than the standard bulgogi. Because of this, we ended up spending about $12 more for the same dish for our daughter. Of the 3-4 places we've tried around town, this is our new fave. Definitely a drive from SW Austin but we'll be back. read more

Honey Pig BBQ - Korean Near Me - Austin, Texas

what we ordered - beef special platter (LA Beef Rib + Bulgogi + Beef Brisket + Ribeye Steak + Boneless Rib) - pork belly - Korean seafood pancake usually I heard that there is a line, so decided to come on an off time - 2 pm lunch on Christmas Eve & there wasn't any wait! :) service - the waiter was pretty attentive & helped us cook and cut the meat throughout our entire meal. the food came out fast! food - super yummy; one of the best kbbq we been to in Austin! we definitely got too much food for 4! I think if we just order the beef special combo, it would've been perfect. read more

I heard about this place a few times from different friends so I thought giving it a try. It turned out one of the best dinner decisions I've made since moving to Austin. The meat quality was great. Portion was generous. Side dishes were also on point. My friend and I also ordered the Korean rice cake, corn cheese, and spicy Korean tofu soup. Everything was delicious and very close to the authentic flavor. I will go back soon. read more

It is one of the best Korean restaurants in Austin. Pretty close to what you would experience in Korea. The food comes out quickly, and the service is fantastic. I've been here twice now, and I have no regrets! I ordered the premium combo for 3 people. I also had the seafood pancake. It was delicious, too. We had trouble eating all the food, so take that into consideration when ordering. The tables are set up like in Korea with the grill in the center of the table. The Honey Pig uses natural gas and not charcoal. If you never had Korean BBQ, you should try the Honey Pig, I'm sure you will enjoy it, and if you have had it, you won't be disappointed. read more

Honey Pig BBQ was pretty nice, but probably not for me. I think 3 stars might be generous for a place that gets the great majority of your order wrong and forgets items. For starters, they got over 2/3rds of my order wrong and they did not care about that fact at all. We've tried thick pork belly before, so we were all dreading who was going to finish it. We didn't order it, but we got it. We even had an exchange about the varying spice levels of the chicken I ordered. What makes it over 2/3rds? They also forgot our rice so I had to make sure the meal came with rice... so yeah, wrong meats and we didn't get our rice until we finished most of our bulgogi while waiting for it. The employees didn't seem to care about any of these errors. The banchan was alright. I wasn't into their fish cake strips, but their spicy cucumber was 5/5. Everything else was average. There was a spicy tofu soup that came out afterwards which I loved. They also gave us an egg soufflé which was a pretty nice side to have. It was a good amount of food - I can't see someone coming out of here hungry, even if they were to order less than one meat per person. Beef Bulgogi - Pretty nice, I prefer a stronger and sweeter bulgogi, but everyone is different in this regard. No complaints, I'd get this again. (Assumed) Spicy Pork Belly - I've tried pork belly at BBQ joints before. I already know it isn't something we like, so I wasn't a fan. I will say this was one of the better pork bellies, but I wish I got the thinly sliced pork I ordered. (Assumed) Half-order Kalbi Ribs - Pretty darn delicious, as ribs tend to be. They have to switch the grill to an alternative grill for this one. I'd get this again. Something about Honey Pig BBQ that I'm split on - it isn't really a grill your own place? An employee ended up cooking most of our meat which I guess is fine, but some people might not like this. It's a different experience and probably a good one for newcomers to grill-your-own places. Taste-wise, I'd go here again, but the forgetfulness and the sheer incorrect order even when we discussed specifics of our order is baffling. read more

In the beginning I had my doubts about coming here. Originally from southern cali, I'm a frequent eater of KBBQ and usually paid no more than $25 pp AYCE (all you can eat) So imagine the look on my face when I saw how expensive the meats were and most of all they didn't offer AYCE (all you can eat) lol. Anyways, one Saturday my husband and I took my mom grocery shopping next door at H-mart and she had requested to eat at Honey Pig.....so we gave it a try and we loved it! The hooded vents were cool and I loved that the stool cushions can be taken off so you can store your purses, bags, jackets, etc . All of the servers were great and were constantly checking up on us, and assisting with cooking our meats. They are also BYOB! Lastly, I highly recommend ordering their Beef Combo that serves 2-3 people for $89.99. Yes, it's on the pricier end, but the quality was good and it was plenty of food for the 3 of us. Sidenote: The Honey Pig location in Virginia offers AYCE so I'm hoping they can bring that to the Austin location :) read more

Honey Pig BBQ - Korean Near Me - Austin, Texas

Wow this is one of the best Korean BBQ restaurants you can find in the Austin area. I personally have only tried Honeypig for lunch on a weekday. We ordered the Best Of Combo which is only a weekday lunch item. This combo is ridiculous and comes with super big portions of meat at a very reasonable price. It comes with pork belly, pork bulgogi, beef brisket and beef bulgogi for $40. The menu claims that this feeds two people but honestly you could get away with feeding a party of 3 adequately. This combo also comes with all of the Korean banchan sides as well. The meat was pretty flavorful. We liked most of the banchan, especially the fish cakes, bean sprouts and kimchi. Our waitress was very attentive. She greeted our toddler with a red balloon which definitely kept her busy while we had lunch. She made sure the grill was changed out periodically and offered to cook some of our meats for us. We gladly accepted her offer while we made sure our toddler was taken care of. I love the exhaust fan that goes over the grill that sucks up the smoke and fumes that the grill produces. It prevented us from having a strong smoky odor on our clothes after we finished eating. I loved our first experience at Honeypig and will definitely be back. read more

Keep the KBBQ coming because we could always use another KBBQ restaurant in town. The menu is extensive with different cuts of meat you can choose from or get the combo deal. We got the beef combo the first time and it was amazing, I definitely recommend this combo if it's your first time and it comes with 2 soups, rice, and side dishes. We also opted to choose our own cut of meats and tried their other dishes like the seafood pancake, which I think is just okay. Atmosphere is lively and the whole staff does a fun song if it's birthday. It does get loud because they play Kpop music so keep that in mind. On average, I would say the wait time here is around 1-2 hours. We were quoted 2 hours initially but once we got the text it was more around an hour wait but you can always go to Hmart next door while you wait and come back when they text you. read more

I heard lots of people say that this place has super yummy food so I decided to give it a try. Boy they were not wrong! The restaurant itself is pretty cute with artwork by the owner herself. The main concept of this Korean BBQ restaurant is that you have a grill and then you grill your food on it. On the menu there are lots of different meats you and pick from, or you can buy special combos. There are also appetizers on the menu too. We got the Pork Combo and an order of the Corn Cheese. The Pork Combo has thick pieces of pork neck, fresh pork belly, thinly sliced pork belly, and pork kalbi. There were also some Korean side dishes and a small steamed egg dish included too. Everything in the Pork Combo was super yummy and flavorful! I especially liked the thinly sliced pork belly. The Corn Cheese was good too. It was basically corn with melted cheese on a sizzling platter. Well I left very full and happy! I will definitely be back again to "pig out"! read more

I came into this one with low expectations knowing they had several locations back east and frankly not a huge fan of the name. We came at lunch time to about a 20 minute wait on a Saturday which wasn't bad. Inside the ambiance has a very LA korean bbq vibe which I liked. We ordered one of the beef combos so we could try several of the meat selections and a seafood pancake. Everything was great from the taste, tenderness, and quality of the beef. The seafood pancake was also good, but nothing to write home about. They give a decent selection of banchan items. The kim chi was pretty good as well which is a must at a korean restaurant. This is definitely my new go to spot for kbbq in the Austin area. Hopefully they will do AYCE soon. read more

Honey Pig BBQ is overall a really nice place to get Korean BBQ. When my group went, we ordered the Beef and Pork special combo, which were admittedly pretty nice cuts of meat, which I was overall satisfied with. The marination of the pork bulgogi was definitely one of the better ones I've had. However, the service at the restaurant was off putting for my group and can almost have a slight tint of racial profiling. For context, we have been to many KBBQs in the past where we had the usual experience of cooking our own meat, our own way. However, upon arriving at the table, the servers were insistent on cooking our food for us. This could be a misunderstanding as them giving good customer service, but it did not help that she was very passive aggressive, not allowing us to cook despite multiple times asking. Additionally, something also off putting was the meat cross-contamination where the server just dumped the raw meat practically on top of already cooked/finished meat. We typically avoid this by cooking our own meat and separating accordingly, but, that wasn't possible so it was out of our hands.This behavior continued up until the end. Overall, the food was pretty good, but I would have definitely appreciated the more authentic KBBQ experience instead of someone practically belittling us for our assumed inability to cook KBBQ. Definitely took away from the environment and experience of the restaurant. read more

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!! A kbbq here in my hood! We arrived during their soft opening on a Thursday for dinner. We went a little before the dinner rush so we didn't have to wait for our seats. I enjoy the atmosphere as it reminds me of the kbbq back at home but it was a little too loud so my kids couldn't hear us very well across the table. Soft opening so some of the dishes we wanted were out of stock. No galbitang for my kids or even the popular galbi cut with the bone at the end. Instead we got the "ugly galbi" which has the hatch-mark cuts across the meat. There won't be any seasoning on the meat because you are actually suppose to be dipping in the sauce provided. I was pleased that the sesame oil is real and not mixed like some kbbq places do to save cost! Pork belly is superb in the sesame oil, and the darker sauce will be best paired with the beef. Mix and try to see what you prefer but this is just my opinion. Customer service was nice and friendly. If you need help cooking the meats, the servers will help you. It is pretty common for them to help you cook your meat actually. We will come back to try the other dishes when they are fully opened with everything on the menu but so far we are pleased with what is offered here so far. Everything was tasty and the banchan (small side dishes) was delicious as well. Please give it a try~ 4 stars. read more

Lived in Seoul for two year and found this place similar to Hongdae ! I found this to be a good price for Korean BBQ of this quality compared to other Korean BBQ places in Austin. It's def not a romantic date kind of place but more fun to go with family or friends! Or I guess a casual date Their side dishes were pretty fresh! I guess they might make their kimchi? The service was phenomenal! Very hardworking servers and take care of guests well. This place seems to get pretty busy so there might be a wait! read more

The Vibe: The vibe is upbeat, vibrant, and welcoming! The Menu: The menu offers a wide variety of all of your typically Korean favorites with a few surprises! The is a menu for booze, but they do NOT have their liquor license yet, so they let you BYOB for $10 per table! Service: There service was outstanding. The host was super nice even thought the waiting area was packed with grumpy eager people wanting a table immediately. Our server was friendly, efficiently, and attentive. She was also a lot a fun! The food: one word. GUUUURRLL!‍ Just order everything. Booking: There is typically a 45-1HR wait, so try to call ahead or be prepared to wait. The restaurant is next door to an H Mart grocery store. There's also a Kohl's/Sephora in the shopping center so that kept me pretty busy! They texted me when my table was ready and gave me live updates with the text link. Dress Code: Come as you are! Anything goes. I wouldn't t wear anything too tight. Wear something lose so that you can eat everything you see. You'll need any availability room in your cloths to breathe. Rating: 5 Stars Shining BRIGHT AF!!! read more

Second time here and just as amazing! We love how they changed the grill to charcoal for our prime rib. It added the smoky flavor which was amazing. The mandu and gungjung tteokbokki are good but not mind blowing. It was my first time trying gungjung tteokbokki and it's pretty much stir fry rice cake with bugulgi and veggies, which is pretty solid. I love their soybean paste soup which resembles miso but thicker and spicer. Their banchans are good, with the kimchi and fishcake standing out the most. The fishcakes are on the sweeter side which suites my taste. The service is amazing. The servers come to your table to grill for you and they cooked the food just right. The ambiance is very modern Korean pop, which is great for casual family and friend hang out! read more

My wife and I have been dying to see Honey Pig open since we found out that they were opening a location near the Cedar Park area. We happened to be shopping at the H-Mart store when we saw they were open on July 4th. Upon entering the restaurant the staff was very friendly and accommodating. You could tell that all the staff really cared to have a successful opening where customers felt welcomed. I ate way more than anticipated but ended up having some of the best K-bbq I've ever had. We ordered the beef combo which came with an assortment of beef all in one platter. The staff does offer to cook your items for you using your table's grill, but we opted to do it ourselves. The quality of the meat was the best I've had. 10 out of 10. It was all well seasoned and absolutely delicious. Side dishes were everything! Looking forward to trying other things on the menu the next time I'm in the area. No complaints!! Will be coming back soon!!! read more

Honey Pig BBQ - Beef combo - Korean Near Me - Austin, Texas

Austin is a little lacking in the KBBQ scene, so I'm excited that Austin is getting more options. Honey Pit is a chain with several locations, the closest one to here being in Houston. I'm really happy that this location is next to the H Mart. Each table has a vent for all grill tops. My family ordered the premium combo which was definitely enough to feed 5-6 people. It comes with LA Galbi, boneless rib, beef brisket, rib eye steak, pork neck, pork belly, pork bulgogi, shrimp, and squid. They also provide a side of steamed egg, soybean past stew, dipping sauces (including ssamjang) and rice. Ban chan side dishes are included, and they tasted great. We also ordered a side of corn cheese. The meats were nicely marinated. Our favorites were the beef and the pork belly. This combo was priced at $129.99, so between the five of us, this comes out to about $26 a person. We felt that this was a reasonable deal since we were VERY full after the meal. To give you a comparison, AYCE KBBQ in this city runs about $36-$58/person. The service was great, and the owner is very nice. The servers regularly changed out our grill and refilled our waters/ban chan. They just had a soft opening, so expect a line to get in. It's best to get there early around 5-5:30 pm to beat the dinner rush. read more

This place was poppin' on a Sunday night! We were sat quickly and our server was quick to help with suggestions and taking our order. The serving sizes were big, and no half orders were available (except beef ribs). With my party of two, an order of pork belly was just enough. I wish we could've tried more meat options, but didn't want to take food to go. We ordered the pork belly and beef bibimbap, which was just enough to eat with all the extra banchan(sides). Btw, the bibimbap doesn't come with rice so we just added the rice that came with our pork belly! I would definitely come back with a larger group! read more

More hype than substance for a casual KBBQ lunch. I'm sure it's because it's popular and new right now that it's super busy and fun to check out rather than going to a tried and true spot. We had a reservation and still ended up waiting 30-45 minutes to get sat, which ended up being stool seating, which maybe it's authentic but really not comfortable. There was 5 of us so we got a decent amount of food to cover us all, but nothing extra like drinks, appetizers. It came out to ~$50/pp, and service was a bit slow, kept having to ask for water (which we eventually just grabbed ourselves since we were sitting right next to it). It's got lots of entertainment and frills, as well as the obvious hype right now, but I think it's a much better deal to go to more basic KBBQ, not feel rushed, and get better service at a better price. read more

All I had hoped for Our selections were the thin pork belly and beef brisket. We couldn't get enough of the side dishes of fish cakes and pickled radish. Oh and the wild raspberry wine! read more

I came to Honey Pig shortly before 5pm thinking it would a chance of a short wait time but there was roughly 8 parties before us. They had closed a few hrs up to 5pm that day for cleaning so we actually came at a good time. Shortly after putting our name down swarm of people came rushing through the doors. We were lucky and were seated within 15 mins. Our table ordered the premium package to feed 4 ppl and it was just enough. We loved every type of meat that came in that package. I felt the meat quality is better than most KBBQ in Austin. The corn cheese is a must get. The bonchon are complimentary as is at most KBBQ and pretty solid. The only complaint was that the round tables are too small in diameter. We got splashed with hot oil from the fat of the meats because the tables were small and the hot skillet plate is half the size of the table. You have to press the call button to place food order including drink orders. read more

We came here on July 4th on the day they had their grand opening. We got here around 4:30 pm before the dinner rush, and glad we did, as there was quite a crowd they came in not too long after we were seated. The waitstaff is very friendly, and the manager goes around make sure everything is correct at the tables. We got two orders of the beef bulgogi, which was just enough for two adults and a child. Your meal comes with rice and your typical sides at a Korean restaurant. Their tofu soup was really good, but it is spicy, which my kid found out the hard way. You can cook your own food at the grill tables or they can cook your food for you. So why a one star deduction? A few things happened during our meal that were causes of concern that would be simple fixes and being it was their grand opening, I would be willing to redo my review if they fix these minor mishaps. First, when you are cooking your meat, the juices from the meat spill everywhere off the sides of the grill. They have a tray to collect the spillage, but if it is spilling on two sides, you are left with a mess. The juices even came out at the bottom of the pipe that runs under the table and causes quite a mess underneath. The second issue is when the meat came out, we were placing our own meat on the grill like we have done at other Korean restaurants, and with me liking rare meat and the rest of the fam liking medium done, this is how we pace out everyone's meat preferences. Just as we started to cook the meat, one of the waitresses grabbed the plate out of my husband's hand and threw both orders on the grill, which meant my husband had to cook and monitor the meat levels a lot quicker. This also contributed to the meat juice spillage everywhere. Lastly, another waiter helping the table next to us was emptying their bowls and meats on their grill for them, and then turned around to place the empty dishes on our table and then left them there for the rest of our meal. No one, not even our own waiter, came to clear them off our already busy plated table. These three things are not deal breakers for me, but something they should be aware of in the future. Overall, I probably will return here because the food is good and the staff is nice. Definitely put this place on your try out list. read more
