Amazing experience and great staff. The meat quality and dishes are the best Korean food you can find in LA. Just as good as the places in Korea like I'm used to! read more

Pigya is fantastic! One of the only places in America where I've seen a hang-a-ri barbecue grill (Clay charcoal grill). The price is fantastic. $79 for the tasting menu. Theres so much meat and if you split between 3 people it's an absolute steal. The service is great they cook everything for you so all you have to do is relax and enjoy. Been here three times and will come back again! read more

We go to Koreatown all the time and have eaten Korean BBQ literally hundreds of times at places all across the neighborhood, so when I say Pigya is an extraordinary experience, it comes with a lot of weight. My wife even called it her new favorite Korean BBQ spot! From the moment you sit down, the experience feels unique. They kick things off right away by setting up the iconic black iron grill loaded with kimchi and vegetables sizzling. The array of banchan was fantastic, and the quality of the meat was top tier. It is an absolute feast, and just when you think you are finished, they bring out kimchi fried rice right on the pan, followed by a pot of spicy hangover ramen in broth to finish off the meal. What truly sets Pigya apart, though, is the service. It is absolutely impeccable. The staff works like a seamless team in a way I have not seen at other Korean BBQ spots in Koreatown. They attentively cook and cut your meat right at the table and clear empty plates the second you are done. For our family of four, it was an incredible dining experience. In a time where eating out everywhere seems so expensive, the value here for the amount and quality of food was remarkably reasonable. An absolute 10/10 dining experience. Pigya is going right into our regular Koreatown rotation! read more

Was able to finally try Pigya, the food was very solidly above average. Portions are a bit smaller so we had to order 2 combos for 5 total people. I usually try to rate only on food but 2 things stood out. 1, the area in the restaurant we were seating was way too loud, I felt like I had to scream across the table. 2, somehow their valet lot wasn't taking any more cars at like 7:05pm which was slightly annoying. read more

I suppose this is why people say to never meet your heroes.... I have been a Korean bbq lover since I could pick up chopsticks so yes I have had my fair share of ayce, set meals, or ordering à la carte from numerous Korean bbq restaurants. Low end to high end I've had it all. Yet I do understand there's still more to be explored...I digress. For a set menu I will say that Pigya gives you the most bang for your buck. A good portion of meat, egg, noodles, and fried rice all cooked on an iron lid is pretty hard to find these days for a decent price. In other words, my dream come true!!! Which is why you can understand how excited I was to try this place. In which I did. Twice. Just to be sure. So it deeply deeply pains my heart when I say....there. is. no. flavor. The entire pork set doesn't taste like anything. Even if you eat it with banchan, the kimchi, or sauces. Even with just salt itself...I was quite heartbroken. I don't know about you guys but I really love the taste of meat. Especially pork. And banchan/salt is simply supposed to enhance the umami. You know? I don't know what they are doing wrong or where they are getting their meat but it has no flavor! Not even a whisper from the fat either! I will say service also was lacking when I went the second time with just a friend. We were ignored and forgotten about multiple times when requesting items. They even forgot to torch our fried rice which was a sad touch knowing they always do that. Overall, I am disappointed and saddened by the service and quality of meat. Moreover, their parking lot is mandatory validation for 2$ which is not bad for ktown but still very underwhelming. Alas, I am trying to be hopeful. So I will give this place a third chance to be sure! Final Verdict: To be Determined! read more

Visited 6/27/26 - Pork Gyu Set 89 Best bang for your buck as my boyfriend says. It says for 2-3 but this is definitely a set for three to four with all the sides and the bonchon. Loved the Wagyu beef belly dipped with the chimichurri. - Steamed Egg Standard, nothing mind blown but not disappointed. - Wagyu Carpaccio This was amazing. I loved the sauce it was so fresh. I was surprised to see this dish untouched at certain tables. - Kimchi Fried Rice Obsessed. Super delicious and the cheese on top torched live is the reason why I keep coming back. It's like a live show. I try to save some pork belly because I love the combo with the rice. - Kimchi Hangover Ramen My boyfriend's favorite part of the pigya experience. I am always too full to fully enjoy. But a great way to end the meal. Service is great they manage the meat quality extremely well and keep an organized grill. The vibe is perfect to drink and catch up with your friends. Bathroom is through a back door not the best but its not unusable. read more

Super yummy option for kbbq by the set. I shared the smaller size pork gyu set with my friend and we ended up having leftovers. We went on a weeknight and luckily got seated right away. Service was quick and I like that they cook the food for you here so you can just focus on enjoying your food and hanging out with whoever you're with. There's street parking nearby but it was super packed even on a weeknight so I ended up doing valet for a few bucks Overall thought the meat was good quality but I'm not super picky in general. Sides were good, but I wasn't a fan of the hangover ramen read more

This place serves the best quality pork in town. Can't go wrong with their combo set as it can feed from 2-6 people perfectly. Servers rotate in and out to cook for you and they do a great job. The meal ends with a kimchi fried rice and spicy ramen which really fills you up. My favorites are the pork jowl and spicy thin sliced pork belly! read more

Everything was so good! Pigya definitely needs to open a location in the Bay Area because we'd be regulars. The quality of the meat was incredibly fresh, the service was fast and attentive, and everything we ordered was delicious. Even the mushrooms were amazing. They were just as tasty as the meat! This is a perfect spot for groups, especially if everyone loves Korean BBQ. One tip: parking can be a challenge, so we ended up using valet, which made things much easier. Funny coincidence. The cross street is Kingsley Dr, which happens to be my dog's name, and we all thought was a great sign. Looking forward to coming back the next time we're in LA! read more

Finally got around to trying Pigya! We went on a Saturday evening during peak dinner hours, so I was a little worried about getting seated, but we only ended up waiting about 20 minutes for a table for two. We ordered the Small Pork Gyu Set along with the kimchi noodles, and omg, we left absolutely stuffed and even had leftovers for the next day. Everything we tried was so good. All of the side dishes felt thoughtfully selected, and nothing seemed out of place. The sauces were especially impressive, each one complemented the meat perfectly without overpowering it. The kimchi noodles were such a refreshing addition to the meal and helped balance out all the rich flavors from the barbecue. And of course, the kimchi fried rice they make for you at the end was the perfect way to finish everything off. Overall, this meal exceeded my expectations. The quality, portions, and flavors were all amazing, and I can definitely see why Pigya is so popular. I'll absolutely be back, and it's already become one of my favorite KBBQ spots in LA. read more

Pigya is in my top 3 favorite Korean BBQ restaurants (not ayce) right now in LA! The meat quality here is exceptional and I really like how the stone grill cooks the food. It's also a plus that your server cooks for the table. The banchan is fresh and kimchi friend rice with ramen at the end are a great way to finish the meal. Tables are a bit small but the whole vibe of the restaurant is lively and is usually packed for dinner. Highly recommend next time you're craving Korean bbq! read more

ohhhh my goodness i went to pigya two months ago but i literally still can't stop thinking about it. i went with a party of 3 and we ordered the pigya set ($79) so it comes out reasonably to around $27 per person. they cook everything for you and the food just keeps coming out LOL but it's a nice pace and there's so many variety of dishes (steamed egg, salad, hangover noodle, etc). i liked all the dishes except for the hangover noodle which was way too spicy and liquidy. service was very fast and staff were very friendly. it's definitely loud inside but i will still be coming back for sure read more

Pigya - Korean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Pigya is going to be my new top kbbq spot in LA! Was in awe of the amount of food that comes in the set at this pricepoint- you can't find this anywhere in OC or LA. For my party of 4, I got the larger set that comes with both pork and beef meant for 4-5 people and the food just kept coming! We were absolutely stuffed by the end. Quality of the meats were amazing and perfectly cooked. My favorites were the wagyu beef belly, which the server torches in front of you, and the short rib. One thing I will say is that the meal felt a little rushed as the servers would constantly be cooking each meat one after another so it was hard to keep up, but I get that it's a very busy restaurant. Banchan that comes with the set is amazing, not a huge variety like some other kbbq spots, but every single one is high quality and essential to the experience, which I honestly prefer! Kimchi cheese fried rice and ramen at the end capped off the experience for me- such a perfect ending. The ramen was also surprisingly spicy! Our server was amazing, very friendly, and even let us know about dessert recommendations nearby. Obviously K-town parking is a hassle, so make sure to prep beforehand and leave some time to spare, especially if you have a reservation. I made a reservation through Yelp which was super helpful as I could see long lines forming here. All in all, couldn't recommend Pigya enough! Will definitely be back. read more

I remember when this place was under different ownership and was called 'Honey Pig'. Decided to come back to this spot for lunch with a friend to see how it compared to its former counterpart. Parking is mainly street, but there were plenty of metered spots nearby during our visit. The restaurant itself is pretty spacious and I like their large tilted grills that they use. My friend and I opted to forgo the tasting menu since it was too much food for just the two of us. We decided on two kimchi mari guksu (noodles), pork belly and pork cheek, and also added kimchi fried rice as a finisher. Overall, the food was great, service was on point, and the banchans were tasty. I also enjoyed the various sauce options they had including chimichurri, wasabi, hot sauce, etc. Definitely left with our bellies full and satisfied. Would highly recommend if you like pork kbbq and want something a bit different than the usual stuff. read more

Loved how relatively clean it was compared to other kbbq places. The staff were nice and professional, really love how this place grills the meat for you! Loved how food comes out in sets, so no need to worry about what to get as it's prepared for you. The quality of the meat was great and loved the ramen they give at the very end! Definitely my new favorite kbbq restaurant, would bring people back with me. Great experience. Either valet parking ($4 cash) or street parking. read more

Came for dinner to celebrate a birthday with a group of 8 and it was super easy to make reservations on Yelp. We ordered 2 of the pork combos, one for each table of 4 and it was more than enough food. Soo delicious and they cook everything for you. The Yukhae was our favorite appetizer. I also loved that they had chimichurri as a sauce, which paired so well with the pork. They grill the kimchi and bean sprouts on the grill, which makes it taste better. The combo also came with my a steamed egg. Love that they end the meal with kimchi fried rice and ramen, although I wish they gave kimchi or soybean stew as options instead. Service was very attentive and checked in on us often to see if we needed any refills on sides/salad. Very reasonably priced combos and we will definitely be back! read more

We made a reservation for a Friday night, and I'm glad we did because the restaurant was already pretty packed when we arrived. This isn't an AYCE spot, so they offer set combos or you can order à la carte. We went with the Pork Gyu combo for 4-5 people, and it was the perfect amount for our party of four. The best part was definitely the meat quality. Everything we tried was great, especially the kimchi fried rice, and the ramen had a nice spicy kick. Service was friendly and quick despite how busy it was. The only downside is parking. They offer $4 valet, but the lot fills up fast. There is metered street parking nearby, though finding a spot can be a little tricky. Overall, this is a great place, and I'd definitely come back. read more

Pigya is a must-stop whenever our family is in LA! We've been here multiple times, and it never disappoints. One of our favorite things is the unlimited kimchi and variety of cold side dishes--they're fresh, flavorful, and the perfect complement to the BBQ. The meats are well-marinated, tender, and full of flavor. We also appreciate that the servers cook everything for you, so you can just relax and enjoy the meal without worrying about overcooking the meat. The prices are very reasonable, especially compared to many other Korean BBQ restaurants in the area, making it an excellent value for the quality and service. Overall, Pigya is one of our go-to Korean BBQ spots in LA. Great food, good value, and consistently enjoyable. We'll definitely continue coming back on future visits! read more

Pigya is one of those Korean BBQ spots that keeps things simple but does them really well. It isn't trying to be a luxury dining experience, but it absolutely stands out from the countless KBBQ restaurants in the area. One detail I really appreciated was the grill design. The cooking surface is one solid piece, and the grease drains off to the sides instead of pooling underneath the meat. It may sound minor, but it makes a noticeable difference while grilling. Service was excellent. Our server cooked every cut of meat from start to finish, so we could just relax and enjoy the meal without worrying about overcooking anything. We ordered all of the beef options, and the quality was impressive across the board. Beautiful marbling, tender, flavorful, and definitely the highlight of the meal. The only dish that didn't quite live up to expectations was the kimchi fried rice. Instead of arriving crispy, they place it on your hot grill at the end and you have to wait for it to develop the crust yourself before scraping it off. While I understand the idea, it wasn't my favorite way to enjoy fried rice, and it took away from the experience a bit. One thing to keep in mind--you'll absolutely leave smelling like Korean BBQ. That's just part of the experience, so don't expect a smoke-free, high-end steakhouse atmosphere. Overall, Pigya delivers exactly what you want from a quality Korean BBQ restaurant: excellent service, high-quality beef, and a solid menu. It may not be a luxury experience, but it does the basics exceptionally well and definitely stands out among the many KBBQ spots in the area. I'd happily come back. read more

A group of friends and I visited Pigya for the first time on a Friday evening and it was a great experience! We made reservations online and were seated right away when we arrived. The service felt a little rushed which I understand since there were a lot of people waiting outside. There were a lot of big parties celebrating graduations when we were there. We ordered the Pork Gyu which was $109 and worth it for our group. Everything was delicious and full of flavor! If it's your first time trying Korean BBQ or you are looking to try a new spot, I highly recommend Pigya! Also make sure to make a reservation ahead of time! read more

This has got to be the one of the best KBBQ experiences I've ever had. Even though it isn't AYCE, their combo sets are perfect for a group of 4 to 5 people. My positive experience was defined by how fast and attentive the service is, the amount of food, and how good the quality of the meats are. As an avid AYCE goer, I've always been worried about the potential food insufficiency since we don't do like to eat and get our money's worth. I can tell this restaurant gets their hype from not only having great quality cuts, but also their hefty portions. We ordered the pork gyu set and as a group of 4, we were more than full! I love that they close the meal off with kimchi fried rice and hangover ramen. It was a perfect meal! read more

I checked out Pigya, and it is easily one of my new favorite restaurants in LA. I love pork, so I don't know why I waited this long to visit, but the food is so yummy. We walked in on a Sunday night with virtually no wait. The service was solid, and ordering a bottle of Soju made the meal even better. They offer a great variety of pork cuts, and it really hit the spot. Towards the end, they mix kimchi and rice directly on the grill and serve ramen. It turns into a ton of food for two people, but every bite is completely worth it. I've been thinking about this meal ever since I left, and I'm already planning my next trip back. read more

Took around 40 minutes when there was 7 groups ahead. Expect to wait a while despite the yelp time saying otherwise. The service was quick and the meat was great. The pork belly itself was alright. A little bit too chewy. I really liked the salt they provide and it was unique to see chimmichurri as a dip option. We got the pork gyu that comes with beef and I think the beef is better than the pork haha. The hangover ramen is not great. More like watery shin ramen. The half head of kimchi was awesome. So generous with the grilled veggies. read more

I was recommended Pigya by a couple of friends and we decided to finally try it last night. The place was absolutely packed for a Sunday night, not surprising at all, but we were seated right away. They offer $4 valet parking which was stress free. Inside, vibe is really lively. The music was so loud that my friend and I were basically shouting at each other, so just know what you're walking into. Almost felt like I was at the club. We ordered the Pork Gyu tasting menu, which was the second option that offers beef. There was plenty of meat for two people and honestly could have fed a third. They cook everything for you, which I loved. The boneless beef short rib was easily my favorite and I wish there was more of it. Just be prepared to tackle the pork belly towards the end if you're in a smaller party. Banchan was limited, but loved that they kept the kimchi and bean sprouts hot on the grill. They were also out of rice paper was that was really disappointing. The chimichurri sauce they offered was so good though, I skipped the sesame oil entirely. Overall, extremely lively place, tasty kbbq spot with great service and plenty of food. read more

Pigya - Korean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

In a city full of the best Korean barbeque restaurants, Pigya has to be near the top, especially for a food lover of pork. And the value of food and service is outstanding. My son-in-law's mom raved about her first visit to this establishment, so suggested that I could take her spot when they went back to celebrate her middle son's birthday. Opening in 2023, this location was formerly a 'Honey Pig' (another pork-centric K-BBQ place), also known for their black iron grills. It is open only at night (7 days a week), and one can use Yelp to make reservations and get on their waitlist. They have two tasting menus: pigya ($79 for 2-3 people, $95 for 4-5) and pork gyu ($89; $109), each coming with fresh pork belly, pork cheek, steamed egg, steamed egg, wagyu carpaccio, kimchi fried rice, hangover ramen. The pigya adds pork cheek and pork belly chadol (choice of with or without sauce), while the gyu adds boneless beef short rib and wagyu beef belly. We had to make a choice (we chose the 4-5 person pigya) before we sat down, and the fresh meat came promptly after we were seated. The center piece of the round table is the black iron skillet, whose gas light was turned on once all of us were seated. Along with utensils, each of us had a ramekin of different seasonings, which I didn't really use. It was a tight squeeze for the four of us, since a space had to be reserved for the cook to be able to prepare the food on the grill. Once it got hot, the fresh pork was brought out and the cook used the pork grease to season the iron dome grill. Fresh kimchi, seasoned soybean sprouts, onion, sweet potato slices, and sliced king oyster mushrooms were added to cook on the side, which we could grab at any time. A pre-dressed salad bowl was brought to share. Other sides included radish and rice paper wrappers, seaweed, cucumber kimchi, and japchae. Later white onion, yams were added to cook on the grill as well. All it took was a simple ask to the cook, and he/she would quickly refill any of the sides that we wanted more of. We started with the one beef dish on the pigya, wagyu carpaccio. The beef was sliced super-thin so not much substance, but it tasted delicious with wonderful texture. Next was the steamed egg, which we shared and enjoyed. Then it was the main fresh pork plate (seasoned simply with salt and pepper), with the various pieces being cooked at different times, sliced to the optimum measurement and left on a warming screen for us to grab and wrap as needed. Having good chopstick skills makes it a lot more enjoyable. I enjoy eating unmarinated meat with radish wraps, so ended up using quite a bit of that. Our cook(s) were excellent, helping each other to make sure everything was cooked until done (we did not have to interject to keep from overcooking, which isn't always the case at full-service K-BBQ places). Once the main plate was all cooked (but not completely consumed), the pork belly chadol came out, with a bit of marinade and scallion. It's thinly sliced so cooked quickly, but then was finished by our cook with a blowtorch to quickly crisp up the edges. As one could imagine, it was delicious. Prepared kimchi fried rice (with optional cheese) and prepared hangover ramen in a metal bowl was brought out and reheated on the grill. If the food needs to be cooked, it is done by the restaurant, either in the kitchen or tableside by a cook. The diner is responsible to put their selected portion into their own plate or bowl. I really appreciated the expertise of the chef/server who grilled all the meat for us, allowing us to converse (and drink) without worrying about grilling the meat. And it kinda sets the pace of the meal: not too fast, but keeps everyone moving as well. The four of agreed that we definitely could have eaten more (there were no leftovers) but none of us left hungry. I will admit that if it had been an AYCE, I would have focused on only a few dishes instead of sampling everything they had. I can't think of any of the dishes (meat or banchan) that that I didn't really like. Drinks are in bottles, so soju and bottled beer (along with constantly refilled water pitcher) were the beverages of the night. Ventilation was OK, though you will smell like BBQ afterwards. The eldest at the table (father of the birthday boy) treated, so not sure how payment works (it seemed seamless). He said we were good to go, so all of us left with contented bellies, walking (slowly) towards the nearest Metro train station, which happened to be Normandie. read more

Went out to grab dinner at Pigya in Koreatown. We got there around 10pm and were seated immediately. Our serve came around and took our order and after a couple minutes our tray of meat came out. We ordered off the tasting menu and got the pork gyu set which came with 4 meats. 2 pork options and 2 beef options. The pork were pork belly and pork cheek (jowl). The beef was beef belly and short rib. The staff here cooks for you so it was nice not having to cook my own meat. They have a tray on top of the grill for when the meat is ready. We started off with the beef followed by the pork. Both of the beef were super tender and flavorful. The pork cheek had a nice texture to it. Kind of like a mix between cartilage and meaty texture but not crunchy. The pork belly was a good potion of lean meat so we liked that it didn't just taste fatty. The set came with beef carpaccio, kimchi fried rice and ramen as well. The beef carpaccio was thin and marinated very well. It literally melts in your mouth once you eat it. It did not taste raw at all. kimchi fried rice and ramen were pretty standard and a nice way to end the meal. If you get cheese on top of the fried rice they will torch the cheese as well. Since we came before closing they didn't have valet parking. We got to park and just go in. Once you enter the restaurant they have a check in tablet in the front to sign in. Make sure to watch your step as the floor was a little slippery. read more

A restaurant literally named pork, yet it's been so hyped up I knew I had to come thru! My party of six shared the Pigya Tasting Menu and Chef's Signature Cut. Each serving of meat was chopstick-lickin' good. The sides? Keep em coming! Service was fairly quick and attentive; our server was amazing! Throughout the night, he manned that grill and kept the meat cookin' and comin'. Most were clean, pure, and unmarinated, and there was a variety of sauces to dip the meat in. My biggest surprise was how much I thoroughly enjoyed the pork. All my friends know I strongly dislike pork. Never in a century would I expect to be chopstick dueling for another piece of pork after an initial tasting... Our server consistently cleaned the char off the grill, and in the end loaded up our fried rice and ramen. We were already stuffed by then, but that last bite really just sealed the stomach. Our server never once skipped the beat with sides, rice paper, salad, etc. Not even water. Top-tier service at Pigya makes me want to return to ASAP! read more

It's my first time at Pigya and we got a table for four people for dinner. We ordered the Pork gyu set for $109 and an order of beef tongue. I find this place to be too loud and I cannot hear my friends at all. It's also dark the seatings are cramped. Busboys who cleaned the tables kept running their carts into my chair. The table itself is small and can barely fit our plates and drinks. I'm just not impressed at all by the atmosphere and space. Food is alright for me. There are other options in ktown. If you're here for pork, it's fine. But if you're here to eat beef I'd go elsewhere. Kimchi fried rice was bland. There's a valet and it was $4, I believe. read more

First time at Pigya on a Sunday at noon for lunch. Good time to go to beat the crowds. There was no wait and plenty of open tables. Karina our server was great. She cooked all the meats and refilled any banchan. The small pork gyu combo at $89 easily will feed 2 people and is enough food. My fave cuts were the fresh pork belly, wagyu beef belly, wagyu carppacio and boneless short rib. They all were great quality. The pork cheek was chewey but still good quality. The music wasn't too loud at lunch. The round tables are a bit tight for all the food given. Don't get too full cause there is kimchi fried rice and hangover instant ramen at the end! Both are good. Highly recommend if you want a non ayce option. Valet Parking lot $4 or street parking. read more

Came to Pigya for the first time this weekend as I needed my KBBQ fix. First impressions was the restaurant being clean and spacious, and the staff was friendly and welcoming (Yes they cook for you). As for the food let's get into it: We went with the Pork Gyu Tasting Menu, which was $89 for 2-3 people. - Beef Brisket (8.5/10) First course, great start to the meal. Probably my second favorite meat item they served us. - Boneless Beef Short Rib (8/10) Juicy and tender, paired really well with the salt, but also recommend trying with the other sauces. - Pork Cheek (6/10) This is a personal preference, I'm not the biggest fan of pork cheek. - Pork Belly (9/10) Hands down my favorite, they prepared this the way I like it, which is cut up into small pieces with just the right amount of char/sear. Overall a great experience, not the best KBBQ I've ever had, but the service and price point, I would give this place a 5 star for sure. Would I go again? Absolutely! read more

I think pigya is my favorite kbbq spot in all of ktown. For the pigya combo it's about $100 after tip. Not only that the sides are amazing you get japchae, salad, cucumbers, and steamed egg (with combo). The server we had was super attentive. Immediately when our rice paper and kimchi ran out she filled it up without asking. The combo also comes with rice and ramen. So much food for such a great price. If you come with three people it fills everyone up. There's a parking lot for valet street parking is pretty hard to find. read more

I ordered the PorkGyu combo set, which came with 2 pork, 2 beef, kimchi fried rice, and ramyeon. The set was $89 and felt like a really good value. The quality of both the pork and beef was great, and the portion is perfect for about 2-3 people. I also ordered a cold noodle dish (not sure of the exact name). After eating all the BBQ, it was really refreshing and helped balance out the richness from the grilled meat. However, there were a couple of cleanliness issues during my visit. There was a strand of hair in the rice cake sheet at first (the staff replaced it right away, so I didn't take a photo). Later when I ordered a beer, there was a small piece of chili stuck on the beer glass. I really liked the food and would still consider coming back, but I hope they can improve the cleanliness a bit. read more

Came here for my surprise birthday dinner with friends. We had valet parking for $4 but we were able to park at a street no problem. We had a reservation at 5:45pm and we were seated right away. They have set menus or Alacart. We choose the pork gyu menu as it has a variety selection of pork and beef plus kimchi fried rice, steamed egg, and ramen. It was a lot of different items on the menu. The dipping sauce and salt was very good. I liked the green tea salt, wasabi, some type of sweet soy sauce, and herbal asian dipping sauce. Ooh the barbecue was so good. One of the huge plus is you don't have to force yourself to eat everything you can take leftovers home and I liked how the servers helped cook your steak. The atmosphere was cool Korean music to match the Korean BBQ vibe. My favorite meat? Absolutely everything and devoured it all. I will be back. Love from San Diego! read more

Came to eat at Pigya on a Friday night with a reservation at 5:30 to beat the dinner rush. The tables are small but their combos are filling. For a party of three, we ordered the meat combo that included 2 types and beef and 2 types of pork. Everything was really yummy, and the servers were so fast and attentive. So far it's been the closest experience to when I had black pork belly in Jeju. Definitely one of my top 5 kbbq spots. Maybe even top 3. Parking is kinda rough so plan carefully. There's a small valet lot next to the restaurant and it isn't expensive. But by the time we left, there were a lot of people waiting for a table outside the restaurant as well as a line of cars trying to get into the parking lot. read more
