Honestly, Korean BBQ is not my favorite cuisine. It's just OK to me. I guess it's mainly because I'm not a big meat person. But lots of people have recommended Honey Pig as the best KBBQ place, so we had to check it out. We went in around 6 on a Saturday evening and had no wait. The atmosphere in the restaurant is modern and industrial, which is a change from other KBBQ places I have visited. All the servers appear to be young men in college or so. Interesting. We were immediately given bowls of kimchi-tasting soup, rice wraps, pickled daikon, kimchi and marinated mung bean sprouts. The kimchi was very strong tasting to me, therefore I did not eat too much of it. I loved the sprouts though. So good. We ordered pork belly, squid, a seafood pancake and galbi. Everything had come out except the galbi. When we asked our server about it, he checked the kitchen for our ticket and informed us that it was not on the ticket. To his credit, he brought the galbi for us not too much longer after that. I tried everything but the pork belly. The squid was decent but I think Cho Won does it better. The pancake and galbi were pretty tasty, I must say. Service could have been a bit better. They were making regular (albeit slow) rounds to cook the meat but all we were given was a small bottle of water to share around the table and that was definitely not enough -- that BBQ was laden with sodium! Whenever we wanted to get more water, our server seemed to conveniently disappear. Upon leaving, we were met with crowds of people waiting outside for a table. Well, there's a testament to Honey Pig's popularity. read more

To be honest, the only reason I come here is because of the kim chi fried rice they make for you on the inverted grill. It's fun to watch and tastes amazing. The flavor comes from the rice, nori, kim chi and a wealth of flavors left over from the grill. It's a young a hip kind of place. The music is loud like you are in a club. The servers are mostly young men. There is an unlimited meat option for $28 a person if that's your thing. read more

Super shady azn joint with zero accountability or care for customers. None. Give them money or u r trash. I plan on visiting 2 weeks in advance since I'm flying in from out of town. I call 2 weeks in advance and once again the week of. I call at 10pm the day of my visit to confirm they close at 2am on a Friday since it's posted on Yelp and their website and they literally ensure me yes. I call at midnight while i am in the Uber because I know how fickle Korean restaurants are...management tells me no we're "closing in 20min because we don't have too many customers right now..." Useless to argue...Koreans either act like they suddenly don't speak any English or they just hang up... Failure as an establishment. I hope u guys suddenly decide to understand English again and read this review and learn u r scum of the universe for breaking expectations. Why open a business in the service industry when u don't know how to serve? Go hungry tmr...u deserve it. read more

Service: The staff is very friendly who come by and cook your meat and always make sure your next meat is ready on deck. Food: The meat is pretty standard; I don't know if it's worth the price compared to other places. You meat is heated alongside kimchi and bean sprouts. The fat and leftover meats on the grill are drained on one side. One downside is that the fried rice costs extra whereas at Iron Age it's complimentary. Another thing I have concerned about is that the plastic water bottles they have at tables are indented from the heat of the grill so I question whether these plastic bottles are still safe to drink from. read more

This is an all you can eat place. The meat quality is good and the service is good. Unfortunately, you pay alot for all this. They really dont give you that many side dishes so its not worth it to me. But overall you will get a good meal here. I dont think i will be coming back. read more

Honey Pig is more than a dinning experience. It's a ritual. With small side dishes that occupy the entire table, platters of meat that keep on coming, and a center grill that tends to send sparks of oil flying at you, it's hard not to get caught up in the experience. Different people will attack the meat differently. My strategy is to put the slice of cooked pork belly on a piece of lettuce, fold it, add the bbq sauce, a bit of slightly charred kimchi, and a slice of radish. Careful though! The lettuce has to be folded just right or your little pork belly sandwich will fall apart! Also, be sure to leave room for the fried rice that they make for you after you finish your meat. Great way to end the meal. Both my trips here were in groups of 6 that were mostly girls. My female friends tend to eat less and eat slower. I offered to pay for more of the meal since I clearly ate more. But they were fine splitting it 6 ways even. Hey, works for me. Waiters were nice and attentive, so no problems there. If you dine here, be prepared for the inevitable food coma that follows. read more

This is the restaurant that I go to everytime I am in Atlanta and this restaurant is one of the reasons why I applied to Emory for my medical school application. Unlimited bean sprout and kimchi on the grill is a plus, because sometimes the meat can be a little bit too oily and you need some vegetables to spice your mouth up. Their meat quality is great and their service is attentive. I first wanted to give this place a four star, because my Korean friend found something dirty in their dish on their visit (they also said though, that Honey pig is very very authentic). But based on my own visit, it is a five star. read more

Great food, and fun experience. Having lived in Korea for the better part of a decade, it was great to see this place in Duluth. It has all the great characteristics of a Korean BBQ joint: loud, great smells, fast, and delicious. One element that it was missing (hence the rating), was that the price of soju was absolutely prohibitive. It get what they're going for, though. Since this place is not really for Korean diners, they kick that price up to $15 hoping that it will be justified by a group of people interested in "trying soju". Well, knowing that soju costs $1 in Seoul, $3 in the US (retail), this is just too much. If it was $7, I would have gotten two, had even more fun, and spent the same. Still, it's a fun place and I will be back. Oh, was it odd that there were ZERO female employees? read more

Obviously, korean bbq is always steep in price. However, Honey Pig is alright overall & I would rather recommend to go to Iron Age which is just a few minutes away. They have delicious meats and also have like suid, pork belly, & pork belly green tea. I didn't like pork belly because it had like bones/cartlidge in it. Their best meat is their chicken, the flavors they marianate their chicken are out of this world. They also give you bottomless bean sprouts and of course, kimchi. I hate that they don't give you rice which is a huge bummer! Your meal also comes with three dipping sauces, rice patties/sheets, radishes, & some salad. read more

Everyone here said Honey Pig was very good so I gave it a try even though they don't grill. I was a bit disappointed in the flavor, you have to order marinated meat because it's cast iron pan fried. I ordered beef, young pork belly, and scallops. Neither of them were too memorable except for the scallops because it was cooked just right. They specialize in "honey" pig from cali but I don't find it super tender or anything. I was hoping they'd have a lot of side dishes but there was only bean sprouts and kimchi, lots of them. They give you three types of wraps; lettuce, rice cake, and radish. Each meat went well with different wraps (scallops with lettuce, beef and rice cake, pork belly and radish) my favorite was rice cake even though they were a bit thick. Here, rice is fried in front of you and served at the end. I asked the waiter why they wait till the end and he said they want the costumers to really taste the meat before having rice. It made a little since but I still like my rice with everything else. The meal came with kimchi soup that's served cold. I liked it because it was lunch time and I needed something to get my appetite going. Over all the food was just okay but the service was very good, he answered all my questions very well and kept a good attitude of the customer is superior.Too bad I don't think I will be going again because it's just a cast iron pan. Ohh fyi, their food is pretty pricey compared to others. ***and I have to add this, there are two old norcross roads so if you dont know the area, your navigation will bring you to business buildings 3 minutes from Honey Pig.*** read more

If I could give Honey Pig more than five stars, it would happen. Thanks to an article a friend sent me on where to take out of towners who visit Atlanta, Honey Pig was discovered. Out of the list of places in the article, it was one of a few that I had not been to with my Atlanta friends. If you're ITP, you may not care for the drive out to Duluth, but we were already OTP, so no big deal. The food is worth the drive either way. From the outside, just looks like a restaurant in a strip mall. Inside though, you're greeted with very modern decor that you would find in a restaurant in Buckhead/Midtown/Downtown. Wait staff was also nice to look at, too, which never hurts during a meal. The staff was very nice to educate us on the workings of Korean BBQ although they did leave out the unlimited option that we noticed a few tables away during our meal. We were stuffed anyway, so not a big issue. Meal started out with kimchee and sprouts on the grill and small appetizers for each person (if memory serves they're called banchan, but feel free to correct me). I'm a huge fan of kimchee, but adding to the hot grill, as the server mentioned, enhances the flavor.... and wow was it good. We of course messed up a bit here and devoured kim chee when we probably should have gone slower so we could devour the meaty deliciousness that came next. We ordered the honey pig (pork obviously, but thought I should say it) and beef bulgogi. Yum, yum, yum. A big grill full of thick pork cuts (similar to bacon, but not as salty) and delicously spiced beef.... A+++. The meal then closes out with two things. First fried rice, composed of more kimchee and sprouts. Really great. And then last but not least a spicy miso soup. The last part of course being one of my faves. Super great meal here. Now that I've actually had Korean BBQ and not just soups as I have in Dallas, can't wait to try out the KBBQ places back in big D. And can't wait to go see my Atlanta friends again and head back to Honey Pig for the unlimited meal. read more

I only ate here twice for porkbelly. They didn't have the all you can eat option like most other places. And they are a bit more expensive. I would recommend this place for lunch though. There are 4.99 Korean lunch plates and a lot of other lunch options for under 9.00. Portions are smaller for lunch but who needs to get overstuffed at lunch time and have food coma, right? I guess i will give it porkbelly a try next time. read more

I've been to a fair amount of KBBQ places, and this place is above average for service. Food was alright. With a family of 6, including my parents, we ordered 5 al carte meat dishes. 3 beef and 2 pork bellies.We were debating between the combination platter or this route, and we calculated, and al carte was a bit cheaper ($130 vs $110). And it fed us all, after we had finished, they made us fried rice over our grill! With kimchi! Too bad we finished all the meat before they made the fried rice, or else they would have combined everything together! If we only knew. Our clothes didn't smell as strong as I would have thought. They also cooked all of our food and turned our meats pretty often. Service is pretty prompt, especially when you press the 'call' button. My parents were impresssed with their 2nd KBBQ, and they are looking forward to their next experience. read more

It is a place worth at least 4 stars. They have a huge fried pan on each table which is used to fry all food. The waitress there helped customers to finish their dishes on the pan which ensures food are prepared at a appropriate time. I have been twice. The first time we have a big party of eight people and we ordered pretty much everything from pork, beef to seafood. The pork belly are great, if you like more flavored, you can also find one you like. Beef is also delicious if you don't leave them on the pan for too long. You can always finish you meal with a fired kimchi rice along with all the left over on the pan (definitely recommend). They also have endless fried food if you like. read more

Female server was not so friendly. Spoke rudely and never came to check on our table. One certain male server pretty much took care of my family til the end. Smiled, friendly, even had small conversations. I hope you kept all the tip money. Loved that they had small fans cause that place is hot! We ordered the unlimited meat. They cut it somewhat thick (I prefer thin). I liked the wine pork and the black pig meat the best. The spicy pork belly wasn't as good as i thought it was going to be. Meat wise, I'd go to Oh My Samgyupsal. read more

Incredible, relatively inexpensive lunch option. I haven't been to Honey Pig for the "main event" on-table barbeque. Only for lunch visits where we've ordered from the kitchen. My prior experience with Korean food was limited and my work-mates who went with me had never had Korean cuisine before. Honey Pig was an excellent introduction. I was quite impressed. There were three of us and we ordered one spicy pork lunch special, one bulgogi lunch and one chicken bulgogi to share. Each came with a bowl of "Korean miso" (doenjang jiggae), rice, and a variety of banchan (toppings and garnishes). All three dishes were exceptional. The beef was my favorite, one co-worker liked the chicken, and one preferred the pork. The beef was sweet and salty and had some crispy edges it reminded me of American-Chinese "Mongolian beef". The chicken was similar, but I thought it had less character. It didn't have the crispy edges, but it was juicy and the sweet and salty marinade, similar to teriyaki, paired well with chicken. The pork was the 'sauciest' of the three, coated in a spicy red chili paste, it also had a ton of character. I loved to soup, the others weren't impressed. I always order miso at Japanese restaurants and the Korean version (or at least Honey Pig's version) is much more flavorful, it's got a deeper, funkier, spicier character. I'd compare it to the difference between egg drop soup and hot and sour soup at a Chinese restaurant. The soup may have been my favorite part. Our meal came with an assortment of banchan in small bowls. Banchan are little garnishes that go with the rice. I don't know exactly what the were, but all were great. For the amount of food we got the price was very fair. I can't wait to go back for dinner. The service was not great. The waiters seemed disinterested in the lunch service. The K-pop music was playing a little loud for our work lunch conversation. read more

Worst place to eat bbq. Service is so unorganized and don't remember any requests. Food burned to black before they remembered I turn. If you need anything you better ask all their staff before they get it for you. read more

I've been coming to this place for years. Literally, YEARS! And the food was always great, consistent, and the service never lacked there of.. Anyway, I came here recently and they started charging for everything that used to be complimentary. The soybean soup and the fried rice is now extra. The best part about the end is getting that bite of crunchy fried rice--even if you're stuffed. Blah, anyway. The soup, which is very simple to make actually, and also complimentary EVERYWHERE ELSE.........is now charged. Now what? Are they going to charge for extra sauce too? GEEZ read more

I give this place 3 stars based on my criteria for a satisfying meal: Quantity. I am a man who enjoys eating dead animal flesh, especially in generous quantities. A single order of the beef short ribs and the honey pig is enough, maybe, to feed a very small human being. I go to Korean BBQ, you know, for the meat but the goal is missed when the emphasis is on "unlimited" bean sprouts and kimchi. I especially don't care for fillers in lieu of more meat. Taste was decent. Cost. Like $5-6 too much per dish. They fool your perception of quantity with fillers. The focus of Korean BBQ is meat, not cheap kimchi. Service. The servers were prompt and nice. They speak English, which is a plus. Refilled water unrequested, which is always good. Kindly split the bill, too. Bottom line. If you want good portions of meat, then avoid this place. If you have an average appetite -- and enjoy over-paying for fillers that cost them little to make, then have at it. The service and decor are nice, though. read more

Delicious Korean BBQ! First time coming here and we had a pretty pleasant experience. The food was bomb and the service wasn't bad either. We both ordered the unlimited meat which consists of brisket, pork belly, squid, pork skin, large intestines, and chicken. We love going to Iron Age, but the food here is so much fresher! We only ordered brisket, pork belly, chicken and squid. My favorite was the squid! Super flavorful. Brisket was super fresh. And the pork belly was pretty good too! It was literally so much food! Only gripe is that it's a little on the expensive side. Definitely he best Korean BBQ I've had though. read more

Prime rib was really good! Will recommend to family and friends! Open really late, service was great, price was reasonable will definitely be back read more

Honey Pig - Prime rib and pork belly - Korean Near Me - Duluth, Georgia

Dinner hosted by my fiancé for his clients. We thought that Honey Pig would be the best Korean BBQ place to start for Korean BBQ newbies. The atmosphere here is fun and very inviting plus décor is great. I made reservations and we were seated promptly. I am vegetarian so I ordered the mushroom platter. For the guests & my fiancé, they ordered the signature honey pig sam-gyup-sal, which is thick sliced pork belly, kalbi, which is marinated prime short rib and prime beef. They thoroughly enjoyed the experience since you get to cook the food right in front of you and the food was delicious as always. It's an unforgettable experience. On the grill they have kimchi and bean sprouts that cook along with your meat/mushroom. The waiters are always very helpful and I love that bell on the tables. You never have to flag down a waiter, all you have to do is push the button. Don't forget to finish off with the fried rice. I think this is the best part. They take what is left on the grill and then mix it with some veggies, butter and rice and cook it directly on the grill. Wait for it to get a little crispy on the bottom and then scoop it up with your spoon and enjoy! read more

Honey Pig - Honey Pig. IMO, this is the best part of the meal. Love the fried rice!! Make sure it gets little crispy. - Korean Near Me - Duluth, Georgia

When introducing a friend to Korean BBQ, I would chose to take them here or 678. The interior is nice. Every table has a large disk like grill filled with delicious pork belly, kimchi, or short ribs. The food will fill you up, but save room for the kimchi fried rice which they make at the end with your leftover. Highly recommend this place. read more

I went to honey pigs three times. I got denied service 2 times. This review reflects my all three experience. For, the time i was admitted, we went in with a group of four, and we chose the all you can eat option for around $30. I think it was pricy compared to all other Koran bbq. I did not quite like the options I have. We only have belly pork meat with different seasons, some of which don't quite intrigue the group. For the other 2 times that I was not admitted, the reason were that the buffet option can only be available for the group of two or more and that if I ordered individual item, I have to order at least 2 or more (around 60 total). What if I decide to order wines or rice? It doesn't count. I find it ridiculous. There is one option for $129 with variety of meats (kalbi, prime steak etc). The food does look good and make me curious to try. The service is good. Servers visited us many times to help us grill the meat and make sure the food is not too burned. However, they don't change the grill. They just clean the grill with lemons, so you will have to grill your meat on 1 griller for the whole meal. read more

Gross....... If you ever got sick from eating there, here is probably why. Here comes my today's lunch special. My fiancé and I went there for late lunch today. I was facing the cold food preparation area. Few minutes after we ordered, I saw one of the waiters spooned something out of a food storage container and put it in his mouth then put the spoon back...... 30 seconds later he did it AGAIN! At this point, I was nervous so I paid attention to everyone's movement in that area. I wanted to make sure they didn't give us any contaminated food. Guess what I saw next? The same waiter was scooping things out of a big food container into a stainless bowl. He dropped the spoon on the floor and quickly picked it up then put it back to the stainless bowl!! I don't think the 3 second rule should be applied to a restaurant's kitchen floor. Knowing that "customer service" doesn't exist in Korean restaurants to its non-Korean customers, they probably won't let us walk away since we already ordered. We told ourselves that we should be ok since we ordered soup and bibimbap. Of course, we didn't touch any cold dishes. To top off everything I saw earlier, we saw a worker walked into the cold food preparation area with a tray of sliced cucumber. He started to pull the sliced cucumber to a bowl by hand WITHOUT gloves. Gosh, I felt like vomiting seeing that. I probably ate couple pounds of those uncooked cucumbers in the past. Seriously, I don't think Honey Pig even deserves 1 star rating for the sanitation violations I saw today. I am not the type of person who likes to write negative reviews but I feel so compelled to share today's experience. read more

My first experience with Honey Pig was a really nice one. I love the concept of the "family style" dinner and having such a run means of sharing the meal over a cast iron dome was truly a unique experience. Having never experienced Kim Chi before, I found myself really enjoying the complexity of the heat and cabbage combination. The pork belly was suggested by one of our servers and I found it way too fatty for my taste but the seasoned beef suggested was succulent and a treat. Next time I will try the beautiful shrimp I saw being delivered to tables around us. I am a big beliver in rating the entire dining experience and feel I can not give more than a 3 to Honey Pig because of the disappointing attitude of one of the ladies serving us. She was obviously very busy however, she threw things down on our table, did not respond to our direct questions and huff around and made us feel intrusive to her existence. This being said, I absolutely understand that all people have bad days. We had a fun time, enjoyed the food and will be going back again. However, attitudes of staff reflect on the establishment as a whole and Honey Pig's management should at least be aware how attitudes can impact their customers. read more

The food here is great as they serve the best type of meat around town. The price tag has increased from last time I was here (3months ago) so now choice B which does not include Beef Brisket is $30. The only problem is their staff and service. If you find yourself in a group bigger than 5, you will find that they no longer are working for their tip as it's included in the gratuity, therefore they do not care about you. We had to ring the bell to get their attention multiple times and we had servers walk to our table to later walk away not asking if we needed service. The service is terrible and ruined the whole experience. Food good though... read more

This was my second time going to Honey pig and the service and food was delicious as always, we all ordered the unlimited B. If it's your first time going, I suggest the curry pork belly, spicy pork belly and the garlic pork belly and bulgogi (all were super flavor and my favorite). My only con is the ventilation fans weren't strong enough, we all went home smelling like Korean BBQ but the tasty food made up for it. Also the corn cheese and egg soup was also a hit! read more

Went here last night for my birthday dinner. It was a wonderful meal. The place itself was a really neat visual treat and the cookers reminded me of the shops in Won-Ju and Chuncheon that made dak kal bi (a chicken dish with grilled kimchee and tok - pressed rice) who also used the big round platters, not the coals like at hae woon dae. We were disappointed to not have any of the side dishes that we get elsewhere, but the cold daikon radish soup was really nice as were the seasoned onions. We ordered the honeyed pork bellies, the restaurant's namesake, and an order of bulgogi. the pork bellies came out first and were cooking with a huge helping of kimchee and bean sprouts. The sprouts were great as they cooked ont eh grill and the kimchee added a good deal of heat and crunch to the lettuce and daikon wraps we used to eat the meal. When the pork bellies were ready to be eaten we could use a lettuce, daikon brushed with wasabi, or a mild pressed rice wrap( i think that was how our waiter described it). I mainly ate the lettuce but Emily opted for the rice and daikon wraps and really loved the taste and texture of them. The pork bellys were okay but I could never find the honey taste in them. The bulgogi was a flavorful treat and was our favorite of the two meats that evening. Both of the meats tasted great with the red bean paste, the freshest tasting I have had in a while. As we were winding down and the meat was almost gone, they brought out their fried rice and cooked that up on the grill with some of the kimchee and bean sprouts. It was great and then they also brought out a steaming bowl of tofu chigae that was a welcome treat. It took a bit to cool but the taste was great. The tofu was awesome and the broth and veggies had a delicious nutty/earthy tasty to them. The service was great as we ate, the wait staff stopped in again and again to help with preparing the meat, asking about the food, making sure we were okay. The staff were great. A neat new place in our ever-expanding Rolodex of great Korean restaurants here in the Atlanta-area. Their lunch menu looked great, a nice offering of Korean staples like bibimbap and many of the grilled meat dishes, as well as a few soups I believe. If I worked closer, I would be back for lunch. Emily does work closer and is planning on lunching here sometime soon. read more

I'm Korean so this type of food is definitely not new to me. Pork belly, pickled and fresh vegetables, raspberry wine or soju, and good company: what a great combination. Honey Pig puts a bit of a twist on the concept by offering flavored meats and adding seafood and mushroom dishes to the mix. They also throw on rice and mix it with kimchi at the end of your meal. Nice touch! The shrimp they use are semi-large, which is nice, but I'll stick to the beef and pork. Mainly the pork. What I don't like is that the pork comes out frozen; the meat is covered in frost. They also do not allow the grill to heat to a good temperature before throwing on the meat. These are two very important steps in order to bring out the best flavor of the meats. But to those who don't know better, it does no real damage. If you are looking to stuff your face fast, this is not the place to go. Cooking the food takes time, and if you're like me and like the pork CRISPY, it means you'll have to be careful about who you bring with you or you'll be sitting at the table in awkward silence as you wait for the meat to cook. But if you throw some alcohol in the mix you should be fine. Also note that because you are eating at a much slower rate, you will be able to eat more. Overall, this place takes a good concept and does it very well. read more

I've been to Honey Pig before, and it's usually very good. This time, I wasn't as pleased with the food or service. On a positive note, we did arrive at 7:30 on a Saturday night, and only waited 10 minutes to be seated. After sitting, the server did the usual drink and food order, which was fine. However, after putting the food on the fire, we were on our own. We ordered the pork and beef dishes. The pork was cooked first, and rarely did the server come to check on us. He also forgot to bring rice, lettuce wraps, and soup that we asked for. We finally got it all, but the beef had not yet been put on the other side of the dome. Also, he put the shredded peppers and onions in a bowl on the other side totally out of reach. We thought it was a part of the beef dish, but it was actually something we could've eaten all along. Finally, someone else who is assisting him dumps the beef and leaves for a long while. We finally had to ask him to help us move the beef to our side so we can eat it. It would have been nice to eat both meats at once, and I think we could have if the server was paying more attention. Speaking of meat, it just didn't have much flavor to me. The manager - June, was the highlight of the night as he smiled and shook our hands and gave us free candy. I didn't want complain to him. Overall, still a great place, but the server was not "on it" that night. read more

My experience at Honey Pig was very average. The service was okay since the workers are nice and willing to tend to your needs. You can cook some of the bbq by yourself but the workers are friendly and can help you cook it if you need to. The servers are young and can speak both Korean and English which is a big plus. The food was not as great as I thought it would be. A lot of people rave about Honey Pig but the bbq tasted like every other Kbbq restaurant's in the gwinett area. Trust me when I say this because I have gone to a lot of Kbbq restaurants and there are better ones when it comes to food. The inside of Honey Pig is a bit dark and can create a chaotic atmosphere if there are a lot of people. It is a good place to eat if you don't mind the average bbq. Honey Pig plays trendy music that you can hear on the radio or music that you can dance to which helps bring in young adult customers. However since it is a bbq restaurant it can get quite stuffy which was a bit of a con on my list. Overall, my experience was simply average. The food was not half bad but it didn't wow me as everyone else told me it would. The service is excellent here even when there are a lot of people (which is usually around dinnertime) so that is a big plus. The price range is also average and like any other Korean bbq restaurant. I would only recommend Honey Pig if you are in the area and craving bbq. Other than that this restaurant tastes like any other Korean bbq restaurant and there is nothing that special except for the great service. read more

Went to this place at 10:45pm and we had the random stares from the staff while the one guy told us to wait while he went off looking for a table i guess? The whole place was empty except one other table. It looked like he was discussing with some of the staff about letting us stay or not it seemed (i know they were speaking korean but I only know like 2 words so I had no idea what they were saying I'm just guessing from their expression that they did not want us there). So eventually we sit down and all seems good but the big vent above the cooker is just dishing out cold air. I guess its because its freezing outside and the vent is connected to the outside but you would think they would either heat up the place more or put something there to stop the chilly air from coming in until it was time to use the vent when cooking. So we order the honey pig, marinated rib meat x (2), not marinated rib meat. The food was actually really good, and this time I actually got to eat a good amount of the fried rice at the end. The food I give 5 stars but 1 star or actually 0 stars on the service if I could. I gave it a 2 star overall because the service actually pissed me off so much that it kinda ruined my dining experience. and walking out of the place pissed off was not what I was expecting, and thinking about how pissed I was just made me more pissed thinking I still had to tip 15% just to be polite just incase I might have to come here again. First when we sat down after the whole staff stared down at us, the waiter said we have to be done by 12am is that ok? We said sure we can just eat and go, a little over 1 hour is more then enough. We still felt like WTF because aren't open times for accepting customers up until that time, and not get your butts outta here by that time because its lights out? Anyways... They did not bring out the scallion salad, and the soft pancake wrap, and when we asked, the dude said they were out of it. I asked for a korean beer but the dude would not bring it and finally when I saw him again I asked him "can you bring my beer"? He just turned around and walked away with no acknowledgement. He did go get the beer but WTF! No, Oh I'm sorry I forgot or some kind of acknowledgement. The whole time from ordering food till we walked out, he had a crap face mask on like we were a complete waste of his time. Iron Age is much better service and that's where I will be going along with my friends from now on. So simply put. Good Food / Bad Service! read more

I have never made it to Honey Pig for AYCE, mostly because I just can't justify stuffing my face for $27. First off, I don't really NEED to cram that much meat into myself. Secondly, I really like the meats that aren't offered with their AYCE option. The only two banchans they give you are the grilled kimchi and bean sprouts. It also comes with a cold radish soup at the start of the meal, and a warm tofu soup at the end. I'm not a fan of either of these soups so I generally pass. To wrap the meat in, they offer pickled radish, the lettuce wrap, and my favorite, the rice paper wrap. I think the radish and the lettuce definitely makes eating pounds and pounds of grilled meat feel less heavy, but I also lean towards the chewy texture of the rice paper. It is basically a thin rice cake. Our go-to meats are the beef brisket and the prime short rib. The brisket is basically shabu-shabu meat, or thinly sliced beef. It's tasty, but can be easily overcooked and get dry. The prime short rib is really tasty, and there is really nice marbleized fat throughout the meat. This is nice for someone like me who doesn't really like meats that are too fatty. The beef tongue is also good. It's similar to the brisket but has a meatier bite to it. I will say, however, that the place can get quite loud. The music is loud, the meats are sizzling, and in general just a lot of shouting so if you're looking for a quiet evening, this place probably isn't it. Another down side is that they don't take reservations so you'll either have to get there early or just endure the hour long wait on weekends. The waiters are pretty attentive but you can always ring the bell on your table if you are getting impatient. Finish the meal with some kimchi fried rice, and don't forget to save some meat so they'll throw that in there for you too! read more

Get the unlimited and make sure you get lettuce, rice paper, garlic, bean paste, and I swear when you're done eating, YOU WILL TRIP read more

So far this is the best KBBQ I've been to. What sets this place apart is the really cool atmosphere, the upbeat staff, and, of course, delicious food. We ordered the Kobe style beef and some pork belly (we didn't want to try the all you can eat option this time, but will next time). The meat was fresh and delicious. It came out fast and tasted great. Obviously it's expensive, but you get what you pay for. The staff was great. I'm not Korean and sometimes going to Korean places is awkward because of the language barrier. Here, at least for the most part, the staff were fluently bi-lingual (most of the staff seem to be Korean american, as opposed to full on immigrant, and have probably gone to school here so are basically fluent in both languages and cultures). In some of the other Koreans places it's hard to communicate which sometimes makes the experience unpleasant. So if you're worried about communication here, don't be. They were also very helpful with questions about the menu. I loved everything about this place and will certainly be back when I need my KBBQ fix. read more

My first time here and definitely NOT my last! Very wonderful service and the food is amazing. We didn't even have to wait more than 5 minutes for the food to be served. Good music and a comfortable atmosphere. If you eat here don't forget your lollipop on the way out! read more

See all

OMG.... This place is da bomb! I've been wanting to try HP for a while. I'm not a big pork belly fan and I thought that is all they had. Glad I read the reviews beforehand. My party of 3 had the spicy pork belly, wine pork belly, and gal bi. Yes, I ordered the gal bi. It was 3 generous pieces of delicious meat! I tried the spicy pork belly and it was tasty. I like it a little on the burnt side. All the items that came with the meat were yummy. I've never had the rice paper wrap and enjoyed putting everything together. Although, I still prefer the lettuce. I thought there was so much food! The meat was plentiful. With the rice and soup at the end of the meal, I left feeling very uncomfortable from eating so much! We had great service from our waiter Andy. He was so tentative and very helpful cooking everything for us. I loved the 10 bottles of Fabreze next to the door as you walked out. read more
