The food was so good, 10/10. Service was amazing they cook it for you. The meat options were so so good.

This is now our new favorite Korean barbecue location in Ktown. We find the price affordable and there is so much food. We find the small sets to be pretty big and can feed more than what they claim. We love their sides and all the extra fixings that they provide for you. Eggs, ramen, kimchi fried rice . All delish and comes with your set. Meat quality is not a problem. Service is great!! Fast and efficient Ambience: young crowd and loud music . If you are looking for lively environment for good food and hang out with friends, this is the place!! Wait time: we never have to wait long. Check on yelp first for reservations, if full, try going there in person because sometimes they don't have too many people waiting. Note: just because reservation is full, it does not mean they are all booked and long wait times. Ktown has so many bbq locations, it's worth it to check Pigya out first. Congrats, Pigya!!! Thank you for all the effort you put into your restaurant! It shows. 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

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

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

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

Good Korean Barbecue experience while up in Los Angeles. The Pork Gyu menu was very filling and had a lot of variety. The meat quality was good and the pork belly was massive.

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

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

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

valet parking available $4 cash, $6 venmo in the lot right next to pigya! came on a saturday evening around 6PM and surprisingly didn't have a crazy wait. a big crowd did come after us, so i think it was just luck. the service here was great, with the servers grilling up the meats for us & being so attentive with recilling our water + bringing bonchon as requested. the restaurant is a great size and seems to be well managed. the overall ambiance was lively and diverse. we ordered the gyu+pork set for $109 -- the total came out to be around $140 after tip and tax for 4 people! the meats here are so high quality, fresh, and cooked well by the servers. theres no "porky"/gamey taste to anything. the bonchon is also so fresh and well prepared. overall, amazing first-time experience at pigya :) shoutout to our server, with the long blond ponytail! 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

Great value for good quality meat! Went with a group of 4 guys and the Pork Guy 4-5 servings was a pretty good amount for us. My favorite was the boneless short rib, which doesn't come in the Pigya tasting menu. I think the extra $14 for it is worth it. Aside from the food, you may get lucky with street parking but they also offer valet parking if you're willing to pay $6. We had made reservations but still had to wait around 15-20 minutes.. so not sure how much they respect rezys. It can get loud inside, I sat in their "outside patio" era the last time and it was a bit quieter. I'd recommend sitting here if you're trying to have a conversation 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

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

Went here with a big group to celebrate a birthday! I usually get nervous having kbbq with a big group, but this experience did not disappoint. It was probably the best kbbq experience I've ever had.

I'll be thinking about this meal for a while. 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

2nd time coming here -- we went at around 730pm on a thursday night and parking is kind of hard. There is a valet service for 6$. We went in and waited for 15 mins until we got seated. When we got in, staff came to us and ask what we wanted. We got the tasting menu with the beef and added an extra brisket. Their meat quality is so good here cause usually I don't like pork but PIGYA's pork belly is soooo good. The taste doesn't even compare to a store bought cut pork. They also cook the meats for you and it comes with a steamed egg, soup and kimchi fried rice. I really really love this place and everything was delicious. But, the grill is kind of close so it splatters sometimes so just watch out. Other than that, everything was good. read more

Stopped by on a Saturday night and barely had a wait. We ordered the small Pork Gyu set which was more than enough food for 2 people! The food itself was delicious, and the kimchi fried rice and ramen was a nice touch. I really enjoyed the green-colored dipping salt. It was difficult to get our server's attention at times in order to request more ban chan, salad, etc., and he burnt some of our items on the grill from not flipping them in time. It was also difficult to get the attention of other servers when requesting the check. The layout of the restaurant, however, is very cramped. With the music and amount of guests, it is extremely loud inside. Overall, the food was delicious, but ambiance made it difficult to connect. read more

Loved my visit to Pigya! This was on my list to hit for a while now, and finally got a chance to try it while visiting friends in LA. While it isn't an AYCE option, i feel like the portions were still very generous for the price and great quality. First off, service is spectacular. Special shoutout to Karina who now only cooked our meats to perfection but had such fun conversations with us throughout our meal. Of course, their pork belly was amazing - thick cuts and juicy, but I also LOVED their brisket. Also loved how they made kimchi fried rice at the very end with all the pork fat, reminding me of how my family and I would make KBBQ at home :,) Will be back! read more

This place was packed - and for good reason. I think this is one of the best KBBQ spots in LA in terms of value. I visited on a weekend evening, and it was bustling. There's valet parking outside for a good price. There was a pretty long wait, which was a good indication of the delicious food to come. The vibe of Pigya was chaotic, casual, and fun, ideal for a KBBQ experience. My party of four was seated outside, and we immediately ordered. The food was super speedy to arrive. I was extremely impressed by the quality of the food we tried. Every cut of pork was incredibly delicious and tender. The employees grilled the meats for us, so every bite was cooked to perfection. Outside of the grilled meat, the steamed egg, carpaccio, and fried rice were excellent. Not only was the food delicious, but it was also reasonably priced. I really feel like I got the best bang for my buck here. You won't find another KBBQ place with this level of quality and these prices in LA. I can't speak highly enough about my experience here: solid service, incredible food, and fair prices. read more

Shout out to the valet named Spencer for a seamless experience ($4 pre-tips). Was able to make a large group dinner reservation fairly easily with a bunch of timeslots to choose from on the day of. Got the pork gyu set and it was more than enough for five people to be super full by the end of the meal. The quality of the meat was decent as well. The workers here will cook all the meats for you, which is very nice. However, the seats on the bench up against the wall are quite tight in terms of space. If you're seated close to the grill, you for sure are going to be in the splash zone for all of the oil splatter. Keep your drinks and glasses away from the grill in order to keep the oil out of your beverages. read more

Came here on a weekday evening and there was no wait. We ordered one of the dinner sets for 2 and it was a lot of meat! All the meats were delicious, I love that it includes steamed egg and lots of variety of side dishes. They were nice and gave us lots of radish paper which is my favorite. Docked a star because they were cooking way faster than we were eating and by the time we got to the ramen, it was very cold and soft and we couldn't eat it anymore. It's pretty smoky in here but they have an open patio seating area as well. Parking here is in the valet lot - but the price is very weird. On the stand it says $4 but the guy pointed at a different sign that said $6. read more

This Korean BBQ spot delivers exactly what you want from a great KBBQ experience: high-quality meat, attentive service, and a comfortable, relaxed atmosphere. The cuts were fresh, well-marbled, and grilled beautifully, staying juicy and flavorful without needing heavy marinades or sauces. The banchan were classic and well balanced, with refills offered without asking. Everything paired nicely with the meat and didn't feel like filler. Service was friendly and efficient, letting us enjoy the meal at our own pace without feeling rushed. The vibe is casual and welcoming -- not flashy or overly trendy -- making it a great place to enjoy a proper BBQ meal whether you're with friends or dining more low-key. Portions were satisfying, and prices felt reasonable for the quality. read more

Came before the dinner rush on a weekday (around 6pm) because when we finished, there was a long wait outside. Parking around here honestly sucks unless you're willing to do valet which I believe is $4? The restaurant is decent sized with a decent amount of tables. They cook the meat for you and do it quick as well. We ordered off the a la carte menu for 3 people, we got the Wagyu Beef Tongue, Premium Pork Belly, and steamed egg. We were all pretty stuffed at the end. I'm not sure if we got lucky with our server but service was amazing. Our server was quick with making sure our meat was cooked and was attentive with refilling our banchan! Before we could even get a chance to ask for refills, she had already come out with a new bowl of it. I am impressed with the quality of the pork belly as I usually don't order it at KBBQ since I feel heavy with all the fat. But I surprisingly did not feel that way after eating at Pigya. I would definitely come here again! read more

Food was delicious, nice portion, good meat quality! Came here for lunch with a party of 10 and despite having a reservation, our group was split into two tables of 5. The tables were next to each other, so it wasn't terrible, but it did make sharing dishes and passing food back and forth pretty inconvenient. We only had one server assisting both tables, and there seemed to be a lot of confusion about which table ordered what. Unfortunately, her attitude also made the experience less enjoyable. She came across as irritated and unapproachable, which made us hesitant to ask for anything because we felt like we were inconveniencing her. That said, the food was great and something I would love to come back for. My hesitation would mainly be due to the service experience, as I'd hope not to encounter the same situation again. read more

Absolutely delicious and busy with people even in the middle of the week which is a sign of how good it is. Every item on the menu was excellent.

First time trying out Pigya, went on a Wednesday around 7:30pm. There was valet & our truck was accepted thankfully. Got sat right away party of 2. Interior was nice & lighting was dimmed. Service was great, servers were constantly rotating helping each other. We got the Pork Gyu menu $89 (2-3 servings) comes with fresh pork belly/ pork cheek/ boneless beef short rib / wagyu beef belly / wagyu carpaccio/ steamed egg/ kimchi fried rice/ hangover ramen Portions were perfect for a party of 2, we got so full that we took our leftovers home. I definitely think the pork is a better option than beef! Next time we come I'm only coming for their pork stuff A La Carte. Their wagyu beef belly was good but not great & their boneless beef short rib was too skinny in my opinion, could've been great.. read more

My new favorite Kbbq spot. This isn't all you can eat. I believe your main options are pork and pork/beef set. The food is so freaking good. All the meat, the dipping sauces, & banchans were amazing. When you think you're done, they bring out kimchi fried rice. Now you are absolutely stuffed and they bring out hangover ramen - I was so full but couldn't stop pigging out. I've been several times now and service was always on spot. The ambiance is lively. The floors can be a bit slippery - I almost fell so please be careful. The do offer valet parking for a small fee. I wouldn't bother trying to find street parking, it's a tough place to find parking, especially at night. If you're in ktown and want to check out a new spot, this is it! You won't regret it. read more
