    Cooked chabol and pork belly
    Joy C.

    We were lucky to score reservations after the BTS concert. We were tired and hungry and the food didn't disappoint. We had chabol, pork belly and tofu soup. I loved the soup with the chunks of pork and the pork belly is definitely the best I've ever had. It looked super fatty but once it was cooked, it was sooooo tender and juicy. It really is a must try. The servers were nice, so was the valet.

    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!

    Customer service was excellent. We walked in around 4pm on a Saturday and were seated right away. Servers were very attentive and frequently came by the table to see if we needed anything. Food came out quickly. Food was delicious. It was more than enough for 2 people. There were plenty of leftovers. If you come here, come hungry and more than 3 people. Since we were in town visiting and had no microwave in our room, we weren't able to take home leftover. The one bad thing about the place was no air circulation. We sat near the patio and it was so hot.

    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!

    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.

    pork gyu set
    Tracy N.

    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

    Sandy P.

    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!

    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!

    kimchi fried rice at end
    Joan K.

    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.

    My coworkers and I came to Pigya for a late dinner. We got the pigya tasting menu set which came with different types of pork, steamed egg, beef carpaccio, fried rice, and ramen. I thought the meat was nothing special, but I did enjoy that they cook everything for you.

    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!

    pork belly and pork cheek
    Jin H.

    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.

    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

    Never been to Korean BBQ before, just wondering if they cook the food for you at the table or does one have to do it oneself?

    You can self cook but also servers cook for you as well

    So, is it just a renaming of the business, as it was formerly known as Honey Pig, or was there a complete makeover of the restaurant or new ownership?…

    From what I understand it's entirely new. I've been to the old honey pig and it was ok/good but this one is definitely leveled up. Meat quality is very good in my opinion.…

At the suggestion of our server, Beto, we added an extra quarter pound of sliced brisket. Beto really knows what he's doing... and because of him it was a perfectly satisfying amount of food for the three of us. He definitely went above and beyond.

Another thing I like -- though it might not be for everyone -- is that you get to cook your own meat. I prefer my meat done a certain way, so it's nice having that control, and everyone can cook it to their own preference.

I do wish they let us know about the included miso soup wasn't vegetarian at first because I had to switch it for the seaweed salad later but at least the staff were very accommodating. I guess the negative would be is it felt like a "rushed" experience and the food didn't blow me away.
