Fun experience and fresh beef
On every table, Honey Pig uses a big arch-shape pan for customers to make BBQ, which is very cool. They provide unlimited free romaine leaves, kimchi (Korean pickle), and spicy bean sprouts. The price is just right for the portion. We ordered beef thin slices, mushrooms, and pork bellies. The beef was excellent. If you like fat meat, the pork bellies were very fattening. They also have squid and beef ribs. We ordered cold noodles, which was not the best.A change from the oridnary...
The style of cooking here is unique because of the sloped round grill. Properly cooked, you cook meat on the top, put a layer of kimchee below that and a layer of bean sprouts below that. The idea is for the meat juices to mix with the sprouts/kimchee. It tastes awesome. The best combination is to get the mushrooms (oyster, shitaki, etc) and seasoned pork bellies. They're pre-cooked and marinated in the kitchen and they're delicious. You can get meat and other dishes here but just stick with what it's intended to be: a pork bbq. Don't bother w/noodles and soups.. they'll give you some complimentary miso-like soup. If they don't, just ask nicely.When you've just gotta have some pork
If you just had too much red meat lately and got a hankerin' for some pork, this is a good place to go. I'm a pretty picky eater but this place is all good. Honestly, I can't tell the difference in taste or texture between the black boar and regular pork but my girlfriend swears by it so, there. Also, I love those call buttons on the table that keeps the waiters running over at my beck and call (no more waving my arms about or trying to make eye contact from across the room).the swine is good
there are two kinds of pork belly available here -- the regular and the special. from what i have researched, the special is fattier than the regular. so we opted for the regular.Pork Belly Heaven
While this style of BBQ and pork belly is quite popular in Korea, Honey Pig is one of the few places to get the full experience. If you like bacon and you like it thick cut, this is THE place to get it. The cooking here is done over a heated dome rather than the traditional kbbq (charcoal, etc.)Worldwide > United States > Los Angeles, CA > Restaurants
