Honey Pig 2.0

$ 29 AYCE dinner with a tasty banchan bar with a wide variety of side dishes. Liked the Kalibi and Rib Finger (?) meat choices the best. All the meat choices were of good quality. The squid and marinaded sweet shrimp were fresh and tasty; I’d recommend. Fresh fruits available for dessert. The ambiance and furniture décor was modern and very nice for a Korean BBQ place. They changed our grill 3 times. The place was not smokey, they have powerful fans, and our clothes did not smell like Korean BBQ after we left. The service was attentive and friendly. I would definitely come again. It would be ideal if there was a large party room or tables that seat more than 4 people, but at least they placed us at 5 tables that were next to each other. 4.5 stars by my book.

Went there for a friend’s bday dinner celebration. We opted for the $ 21.99 AYCE instead of the $ 29.99 (which you get 3 more choices of meat). In the end, we were all happy with our choice. The meat was good. To my surprise the shrimp & squid was good too. Like how the shrimp were de-​veined (digestive tract removed) and the calamari were a hit among our group. It was soft and not rubbery.
Also like the banchans. It was buffet style, so you can get the side dishes you like. Service was fairly good overall. They can & changed the grill twice and fetch us water and sleds when we requested more. Thought $ 22/​pp for dinner is quite worth it.
Side note: This is irrelevant, but we all love their chairs. It looked mid century modern.
Hate the parking especially the basement level. Never been to a parking structure so gross, so bad, so nasty and so smelly! Try to find parking on the ground floor or first level if you can.

Its 6:50pm on a Sunday
the place isn’t even ¹⁄₃^rd full
I ask for a table
«minimum is 2 people»
I tell him ookook and genbbq had no problem since I usually go before the crowds
«no, they don’t do that»
I ate next door even though they had the same minimum.
within 40 mins later I finish eating and walk past Honey Pig
its a ghost town and now i know why
so thank you to Josh (?) skinny old guy in black glasses and business suit. he saved me from having to eat here. I hope he is as good, at saving his job/​restaurant while having zero business sense.
[edit] his name is Charles and he has a reputation here, from denying a grandma to use the restroom to being rude to a mother on her birthday.
the best part: the place has a B rating and they just opened.
summary: pick elsewhere for kbbq. ookook in temple city or genbbq on main st.
tip: if you must come here, don’t park in the basement at this plaza — it smells horrible.

OK Korean AYCE bbq in SGV if you don’t want to drive all the way to Korea town. For $ 21.99 you get a decent variety and $ 30 gets you additional selection of meats. I liked both the marinated bulgogi and thinly sliced beef (depends on whether you wanted your meat to be flavored or not). The thin pork belly was OK — I didn’t like the cartilage though that was in it and could have done without that. The special black pork belly was better — but this is much fattier than the thin pork belly. I think my favorite was the tiger shrimp — deveined and nice large pieces, with a bit of a marinade.
The banchan buffet was OK — some of the items were hit and miss.
Was pretty packed on Mother’s Day for dinner.

This is located in Monterey Park… the place is pretty clean and thankfully they have ventilation over the tables so you don’t end up smelling like Korean BBQ. The side are towards the back of the place. Variety on the sides are not super great but decent. The service is what they did right at this place. They changed out the grill as soon as it was black from meat marinates or cooked meat juices. This happen quickly so they changed it 3 times for us. As for Korean BBQ goes it’s just okies. Is there better yes but if your not planning on leaving Monterey Park for Ktown this is an option.

Very nice, friendly & attentive service. Nice décor and spacious restaurant. Marinated meats and seafood are tasty. Grill gets changed very often. Butter chunks are used to lube the grill ^_^.
The bar for the sides are good too. Ox tail curry is a plus!

Damn fellow Unilocalers, why so hateful? I don’t understand where all the animosity is coming from. This is a decent Korean BBQ joint in the SGV and a great option if you don’t want to drive all the way to Ktown. I came on a Monday night with a good friend because we weren’t feeling like going to Ktown. Normally when I go to AYCE Korean BBQ joints I opt for the cheap option but the cheapest option here is $ 21.99 so we went with that. I don’t think it’s worth $ 30 just for a few more options of meat.
I’m a fan of how you get your own banchan here; I eat an ungodly amount of kimchi so I would rather get an entire plateful of banchan that I’m going to eat than have an array of stuff that I’m not going to eat cluttering my table. They have everything from kimchi to gyoza to japchae.
The quality of the meat here is pretty good (minus the beef brisket at times). The galbi had surprisingly good marbling for a AYCE place. The only issue I had with this place was the portion sizes of the meat that they brought out. The amount of meat they bring out is pretty skimpy at times (see photos). Dude, just bring me a damn plate full of the galbi; you know I’m going to ask for more so you might as well just bring it all out at once and save yourself a few trips to the back of kitchen.
They have both Korean and Chinese speakers so no real language barriers here. Located in the large Atlantic Complex with Daikokuya, Shinsengumi Yakitori, so there is ample garage parking.

Quality of the meat was ok. Service was alright. Unfortunately, management thinks it is ok to charge our 18 month old son full kids price because he is over 2 feet tall. Yes, 2 feet tall. Given most kids are 2 feet tall at 3 months old, this is ridiculous. Oh, and if you upgrade to a premium menu, the price of $ 14.99 for your 2′ tall kid jumps up to $ 19.99. Even the waiters and waitresses were embarrassed to enforce this rule.
We’re not coming back and we’re making sure all our friends and family know about this ridiculous rule. By the way, the table next to us had two kids over 2′ tall and weren’t warned ahead of time that their kids were going to be charged full price. I wonder what will take over this spot when Honey Pig closes.

There are two price options: $ 21.99 (excludes steak, non marinated short rib & jowl meat) & $ 29.99 (full menu). We went with the first option & I think that’s the more reasonable in my opinion.
They don’t serve the typical ban-​chan at your table. Instead, everything is at the bar self serve style. I did not like this concept just bc the dishes didn’t taste as fresh & I’m guessing it’s bc they’d been sitting out all day. What’s cool though is that they have a larger variety of side dishes as opposed to the traditional ones for you to choose from. The tofu soup & steamed egg is at the bar too, but I’d suggest the Kalbi soup which they bring out to you!
As for the meat, I’d suggest their brisket, beef short plate, honey pig 2.0 special black pork belly & the tiger shrimp! The brisket was pretty good & they serve it with butter which was interesting! The pork belly & beef short plate (or beef belly) were good too. My favorite was the shrimp! The shrimp are tiger shrimp so they are bigger than the normal shrimp served at ayce kbbq places. They’re also de-​veined which I appreciate bc it’s cleaner & also makes peeling easier! The marinade is subtle, but provides just the right amount of smokiness & sweetness. I’d skip on the sliced beef (unseasoned) and the thinly sliced pork belly. The pork belly was actually pretty good however, I wasn’t fond of the cartilage in it.
Overall, service was good & food was too, but it’s a tough job going up against big dogs like Ook kook & Gen. However, I’d come here for a cheaper kbbq option, but without having to sacrifice meat quality, cleanliness & service. It’s also a nice option to avoid the typical loud, crowded atmosphere of other kbbq joints.

Came here in the middle of the week. Unlike other AYCE KBBQ restaurants in the area, this one doesn’t get very crowded.
I think my favorite things here are the sides — pineapples, kimchi, egg, japchae, and more. The tofu, when they do have it, was good as well, and the prices are comparable to other places (I think $ 21.99 for the basic menu?)
I found their grill to be a little smaller than what I’m accustomed. Maybe that keeps you from ordering too much at once? And also their salad was a little… brown? Dark?
Other than that, I thought this place was good. It’s a good place to get your KBBQ fix without the wait.

Pretty good! I saw a lot of reviews about their service, but I guess the time we came the service was ok. It did take a while for the waiter to get back to us but at least when he did, he always had a smile on his face whenever we requested anything. We had the brisket and bulgogi. The bulgogi was marinated well. The brisket was ok, but had a TON of fat on it. My only complaint is that they give you very small portions of anything you ask… from the meat, to rice paper, to sesame oil… so you have to keep asking for more… and it’s
hard to grab someone. even when you press the button. Love that they have a variety of side items you can just get up and serve yourself. Ventilation is pretty good. Will be back.

Celebrated my sister’s birthday here recently. It was a Thursday night and the service was phenomenal! It’s no hodong baekchon but the selection of meats you get for $ 21.99 per person is really great. The restaurant isn’t smokey, was spacious, and very clean! In terms of dipping sauces the best one was hands down the garlic ponzu. Kalbi and bulgogi were my fav– not overly marinated and sweet.

It’s such a best Korean BBQ place I’ve been to in this price. It serves SAENG-​GAL-​BI, STEAK and HANG-​JUNG– SAL all the best meat, appetizers, fruits with the best service only costs us $ 29.99 per person. I don’t need to do everything only enjoying the food, and having a wonderful time with friends and family.
I saw many people said they didn’t have a good experience with it, and I guess it’s maybe grand opening and they are not experienced. I strongly recommend everyone to come here if you love Korean BBQ, I promise it won’t let you regret.

The Special Jowl Meat and Beef Tongue and the Shrimp are AWESOME!!! Also they have self-​help salad bar with PLENTY of dishes and fruits. After meal they offer beef bone soup which is GREAT!!! OMG I LOVE THIS PLACE!
Oh yeah, the service is also wonderful. They will give you a lot of advices on how you can cook your meat and what you can eat with the meat to make it more tasteful. You can enjoy your meal without worrying the meat on the grill… YES, they do grill for you!
Definitely will commend this place to eveyone!

I honestly am very thankful i did not let the bad reviews affect our decision to try this place out because it was good. First off, i believe it is new, and probably because of the bad reviews, not a lot of people want to try it. But i really see nothing wrong with that. The place is clean, the food is great, the servers were always going around. Even as more people came in, they were still checking in on us. I guess i cant say much about meat because i dont know much. Theyre all the same to me. I thought the meat was great. Ooh and tons of side dishes. We only ordered from Menu A but my tummy and my boyfriend’s were still pretty damn happy
Oh but the intestines could have been less sweeter. But it’s not too big of a deal.

nothing particularly wrong with this restaurant other than I’ve experienced better, but it didn’t deserve 2 stars.
nor the price I paid. Good thing I checked in and received a 20% discount. ($ 30+20%off)

ambiance/​/​**
unfortunately, the tables are only equipped to seat parties up to 4
so in our party of 6, 2 of us had to sit at the next table
it’s difficult to have large groups eat together
the veggies. fruits. salads are buffet style, while you order the meats at the table
another random thought is the coated grill… not sure how i would feel when the coat chips =X
service/​/​*****
:note: i’m fairly certain we had excellent service because they chose to meet for dinner at the geriatric hour of 5pm… i did not observe the same type of service for others when the business was in full swing
perhaps being the party of 2 is a blessing? the other 4 were there early and already eating
we were trying to eat and catch up, the two of us were distracted for the most part
as such, the attentive servers ended up cooking for us for the most part… like repeatedly haha
food/​/​***
overall the meat was decent, but it’s pricier than some of the other AYCE bbqs
K3 the pineapples! bbQ’d tastes just like brazillian juiciness
one thing of note is their marinade is sweet… so the intestines & bulgolgi were both awfully sweet… i don’t like to mix sweet and savory, so personally it’s not my cup of tea
~*~
not my fave AYCE, but it’s alright if you are too lazy to drive to ktown

This specific space has gone through its share of businesses and I’m not sure how long Honey Pig 2.0 will last. With the exception of Daikokuya located on the other side of the building, many of the businesses seem to shudder quite quickly.
Meats — We wanted to sample as much as we could so we requested for half orders of everything. We ordered everything from marinaded short ribs to beef tongue to pork belly. Their flavored meats are labeled with either «House Special» or «Honey Pig 2.0» but both versions were uninspiring and disappointing. The beef short ribs were my favorite — thinly sliced and cooked with just the perfect amount of char on the edges.
Self-​serve Bar — Yes, they have a bar full of banchan and sides one could only dream of. They had all the usual suspects like kimchi, seaweed and jap chae but they also had duk bokki, fried rice and gyoza. Now that I think of it, I probably enjoyed the non-​meat dishes more than the meat.
They don’t have steamed egg or the soybean paste stew but you do get to pay $ 30 for all you can eat second-​rate meat and sides. The wait staff cooked the meat for us, many times forgetting to come back to check on the meat so we ended up cooking it ourselves. Oddly enough, the place was 80% empty.
What’s up with not playing any music? I could not get over the awkward silence during the entire meal. All the other parties were whispering just like we were. Play some music so you can pep up your diners!
This spot needs some serious help or I’ll be expecting a «FOR SALE» sign out front within the year.

I’ve always wanted to try Honey Pig, and the opportunity came when our friend suggested that there was a new location that just opened, and it was the only AYCE compared to its other franchises.
The location looked promising enough. Situated on the 2^nd floor, the interior was modern w/​a self-​serve salad and banchan station. I thought that was pretty cool at first, because I could grab my banchan whenever I wanted but it was such an inconvenience to move in and out of our table especially if you have two people sitting on your side.
We were so disappointed when the meat came out. The grill itself looked cheap to me, and didn’t bring out the flavors of the already poorly tasting meat. My whole group of 8 was completely underwhelmed, and thought it was such a rip-​off compared to the more better ayce options in the area such as Gen or Moodaepo. I’ve tried both ayce and non-​ayce Korean bbq before, but this place didn’t come close or felt authentic to me whatsoever. Our server didn’t seem like he knew what he was doing and didn’t understand us, until my hubby spoke Mandarin to him LOL…
Anyways, just save your time and go somewhere else. I’m sorry, but I doubt they will even be in business for much longer.

So this place was new and I was curious to try it since I saw it on Unilocal.I came in for dinner around 6:30pm on a Tuesday night with 4 others. Boy was it dead… we were the only ones in there; it was quiet which made it awkward with the workers standing around behind us just waiting. We asked about the options and they told us there were two: $ 29.99 for all choices of meat and $ 21.99 for all choices excluding three of the meats-​one of the waiters seemed a bit confused with the price and walked up to the front to check. But we decided we wanted to just try everything.
There was a small area with some self-​serve appetizers and side dishes which included: glass noodles, gyoza, fried rice, fish cake, kimchi, salad, fruit, etc.
We started with the brisket but it was cut too thick and a bit chewy. The shrimps were pretty small but marinated so it was okay. All the other meats were just okay as well, nothing to wow about. They didn’t have steamed egg and their tofu soup had no taste; it was like they just threw in tofu and chili spices and boiled it in water.
The workers seemed friendly and attentive at first. They were cooking our meat for us a lot since it wasn’t so busy in the beginning but as more people started coming in we were left with the raw plates of meat to cook ourselves. They didn’t even come check on us much until we needed something and had to push the button.
I probably wouldn’t be returning here since there are other better options around here that aren’t too far away.

If you see all the low reviews then it’s a warning… Unfortunately for us we didn’t check Unilocal and got supremely disappointed and trust we will never come back.
It’s about $ 5 more expensive then Gen but at least at gen they bring you side dishes.
I think they try to offset it by having their servers assist in cooking the meat for you but it really cheapened the experience because you could tell they did not know what they were doing and were pretending to know. You have to hire servers who know and these don’t.
There was no background music and no one to greet us at the door. It seemed like employees were more busy eating their own lunch the serving our and getting business done.
I wouldn’t waste my time coming back until it changes its protocols and has a more experienced crew running the show.
Such a shame cause it has potential

It is a nice place for lunch if you are not too picky. It is roomy inside the restaurant, but be prepared to park your car in the basement, there are only a few parking spots on the ground level.
My two brothers and I went to have lunch this afternoon. The self service bar was okay. I especially enjoyed the beef stew. We also ordered some meat for BBQ. The Bulgogi was a little disappointed. I could only feel the sweet taste. It was nothing like what I had in Korea or my home made Bulgogi. I guess they just put extra sugar when they marinated their beef.

This place was in an inconspicuous old mall. Parking was relatively easy compared to K town or some smaller strip malls in the SGV. The interior was clean and well furnished. I am an unusually picky eater but this place scores on many points. The service was great which might be because the place was relatively empty. I can’t imagine the waiters could dote on us if it was completely full.
The food was delicious, I can’t say anything was bad. There were plenty of veggies choices which I like, for balancing the meaty offerings. We had plenty to gorge ourselves silly within the 2 hours allowed. All in all a great experience. Prefer coming here than to K town joints which are old, smoky and hard to park. Check-​in on Unilocal for promotional discounts to see if they have it for the time of your visit.

Available until December 31, 2015: Check in on Unilocal and receive 20% Off your meal. Each person must check in and witnessed by a server in order to get the discount. Now, the person who bitched about having to check in before a meal rather than after it was being extremely petty.
I don’t know where Jenny C. was dining, but my group of 9 dined there tonight, on a Sunday night. I called earlier in the day and asked if I should make reservations for a larger group and was told that I should.
When I got there, they had already seated 2 members of my party who arrived first. The rest of us were seated and we didn’t start our ordering until the last 2 arrived. The servers who were assigned to the area of the dining room where we were at were very friendly and attentive. Always helping us put our meats onto the grill, refilled our teas on a timely basis without needing us to ask, and offering to change our grills 3 times for each of our tables.
The buffet bar featuring hot and cold (serve yourself) ban chan was well stocked with plenty of selections as you can see from my pictures. No, they don’t have the steamed egg or soups, but for the most part, they offer just about the same ban chan as many other places. Added pluses to the buffet bar are the raw vegetables for grilling (mushrooms, white onions and squash), and the sliced fruit for dessert (watermelon and pineapple).
The grills are made of metal and coated with a anti-​stick coating, not ceramic. Temperatures on the grills were pretty even and cooked up our meats rather quickly. Their ventilation system was spot on, as we left without smelling like KBBQ, unlike many other places.
The meats we had were well marinated and quite tasty (bugolgi, galbi, marinated black pork belly, and spicy squid). All meats we ordered had a good amount of marbling and fat, except the beef tongue, and were good quality meats.
2 Hour time limit to eat, and we satisfied ourselves with plenty of food. Since their Grand Opening special pricing is $ 19.99 for lunch and $ 29.99 for dinner, regular pricing might be different in the future from the Grand Opening prices. Right now, my group and I are happy with our meal and our experience, and I know I will come back.

Nice modern clean interior. I was afraid of bad service from all the reviews. But I guess it’s a hit or miss, luckily we got great service. Friendly nice servers who were so attentive. Kept changing the grill and cooking for us o_​o & kept checking in if we were doing okay. what is missing about this place is some music tho lol. & their rice paper is too thick unlike most kbbq places.
This place is so expensive if it weren’t for the check in offer D; but it was worth it. Overall I would give a ⁹⁄₁₀

Rudest service ever in my life. Charles the manager is a complete rude man who has no regard for customers or customer service. Never go here if you expect to be treated with any decency or respect. Charles, you have serious issues as a manager working in customer service.
**Appending to my review for the full story: Like most others whom have written reviews (for this specific location Honey Pig in Monterey Park), the rude treatment started upon entrance of barely stepping foot in the establishment. I was looking for a menu to checkout the prices for my upcoming birthday dinner that weekend. My fam absolutely loves Korean BBQ and we are always looking for a spot with quality meats and decent prices.
We had just finished dim sum next door and I had dragged my parents to Honey Pig since it was right next door. While we were there I wanted my Mom to go use the restroom since she’s a senior citizen and I might as well too since the restaurant was completely empty and we could not find anyone to help assist us with scoping out a menu.
Upon walking to the back, this 40-​year-​old man stops us in our tracks and tells us we will not be moving anywhere or going anywhere. I told him we were checking out the restaurant for my upcoming birthday and he said, «I don’t care. You will not use the restroom.» I still cannot believe a grown man could treat potential customers that way.
We ended up going to Vegas Seafood Buffet for my birthday in Torrance, outstanding manager and customer service at that buffet. Charles, please don’t treat other elderly ladies like such, it deeply saddens me to see this.

Though the name suggests that this place is affiliated to the Honey Pig in Koreatown, don’t be fooled. It’s not. There’s no fried rice (noooo!) at the end and no pig lighters (they didn’t even know what they were).
At $ 20, the lunch AYCE is decent. The galbi jjim is really good & tender, japchae made properly. We ordered a large variety of the meats that are available during lunch. I think our favorite was the beef tongue. Though a previous reviewer said the bulgolgi wasn’t marinated properly, the bulgolgi we had yesterday was good & had the right amount of marinade. The rice paper was pretty disappointing and hard.
Service was good. We had 3 tables of 11 total and a couple of waitstaff checked in on us often. The same group went to Gen a couple of months ago and liked this place more. Though had a reservation at 11:30, we didn’t need to. The place was pretty empty.

Hello my Unilocalies,
I was so happy to see that there’s finally a Korean BBQ place in Monterey Park!!! I’ve been waiting and waiting and waiting for this day, and it’s FINALLY HERE! Parking here is very convenient, they have an underground parking lot where there are many spaces, lets say if the parking lot is full (which I doubt that will happen) you can always park on the street. So don’t need to worry about finding spaces, OH and it’s for free too!!! :)
I love how clean and organized this place is (maybe it is new) but I love their decoration and their chairs. MAN. how comfortable was that. I came here for the first time with all of my co-​workers for our Christmas lunch celebration, all of us were so excited since we’ve been waiting for this place to open for such a long time. We decided to get the brisket, tongue, ribs, shrimps, bulgogi and more, while we were waiting for our meat we decided to go get some of their side dishes. I’m a sucker for Korean side dishes, I love how they have so many different variety, there’s kimchi, bean sprout, fruits, egg, and even hot dishes such as tofu, dumplings, beef stew and more. Yes it might not be the greatest idea to get a bunch of side dishes since it is $ 20 per person, but hey you always eat what makes your tummy happy right?
Everything was great until the meat, I was so disappointed with how the quality of the meat turns out, the bulgogi was definitely not seasoned well, I can’t even taste the marinate sauce, the beef tongue felt like it’s been out for many hours. The only thing that was enjoyable was the brisket, but it’s pretty hard to get a brisket wrong. I’ve been to the Honey Pig in Korean Town many times, this was definitely a huge disappointment. What’s worse is that 2 of my co-​workers and myself all got a stomach ache afterword, it wasn’t anything serious but all of us have to go number 2 right away, that was definitely unexpected. We were all very disappointed at the quality of the meat.
I guess I just expected too much, the service was great. I do like how you get 20% your first order, just make sure everyone at the table check in so you get a total of 20% your whole table. Maybe it’s just me? But I can be very picky when it comes to Korean BBQ, I pretty much expect decent quality since I am paying a lot for one person.
Overall, 5 stars for service, 3 stars for food, 4 stars for environment and decoration and 3 stars for atmosphere. I probably won’t come back again, I would rather go to Ktown and get something much better quality with the same price.

Move aside Gen, there’s a new AYCE KBBQ in the SGV. Sorry, Oo Kook, you’re like the forgotten middle child and it’s okay. You serve the needs of those who live in Temple City and east of there (where?).
I usually go to the dim sum place across the way, and this place caught my eye. I had gone to Honey Pig when I lived in Orange County but it was always a place that charged you by the plate. This place being the first AYCE in the Honey Pig family is setting the bar really high for other AYCE places, and that’s a good thing.
My group of four was seated immediately, and our server Wei Wei was super sweet. She explained to us the different sauces they have; my favorite is the house brisket sauce. It’s like a delicious ponzu sauce with lots of minced garlic. The grill is ceramic so it’s not as fussy as your standard metal grill, and she used butter to make sure the meat wouldn’t stick as much. It also made the meat super yummy.
There’s a small hot/​cold buffet in the back where you can get as much or little banchan as you want. No infighting for your group and no grudges for taking the last bit of kimchi or japchae. However, you will have to ask for your rice paper. There’s even inari and some sushi pieces. But let’s go back to the meat.
For dinner, you can explore all the different options. My favorite were the non-​marinated and marinated short rib. It was to die for — the perfect fat balance and the sauces accompanied it perfectly. I’m still full from last night and writing about it now is making me hungry. The place is very clean and it’s not sticky at all. If it’s not too busy, I believe the servers may even help you cook.
To exemplify how moved we were by this place, my family is going to host our Christmas dinner here instead of cooking this year. Enough said!

This place is a little under the radar, so it was dead when I was there. It’s hidden in the same plaza as shin sen gumi. I thought the offering was pretty good compared to other AYCE offerings in the area. Their thin pork belly slices were really tasty (make sure to cook it til it’s at least a bit crispy). The pork collar (honey pig special) was also really tasty and not too fatty. Their beef offerings were average. I liked their cold tofu appetizer and stewed potatoes, which you can grab as much of as you like at the self service bar. I was half man, half pork by the end of the meal.
Their service is going through some growing pains, but I can tell they try hard. The hot tea we got was constantly just room temperature or cold — this was pretty bad. They forget to give you bowls when they provide you a large bowl of soup to share. Our grill was blackening and we had to tell them to change it for us versus them being proactive about it (which is what I’m used to). These are minor things and I’m hopeful they’ll iron out those kinks.
The waitress was constantly cooking our meat and serving us so that was nice. It’s $ 30 a head so make sure to go when you’re really hungry.

There are a lot of all-​you-​can-​eat Korean buffets, but Honey Pig 2.0 definitely is on the top of my list now.
There is a great amount of food selection for meats, and a buffet near the back of the restaurant with a decent selection of sides from jap chae, kimchi, tofu, fruits, salad, fried rice, etc. The meat was fine with your typical staples such as marinated kal bi, pork belly, chicken, shrimp, and squid.
However, the most outstanding feature of this restaurant was the service. Starting at the door, the servers opened them, welcoming us warmly. They were attentive, kind, and always making sure our drinks were filled. One of the servers even continued to cut our meat even though we were fine. The kitchen staff were also friendly, making conversation with our table. They’re like a little family; that’s what one of the kitchen staff said, and it seems like they really are from how they interacted with us, and their colleagues.
The place is pricy, but if you’ve got the money and tip, definitely give this place a try!
