Piggy’s Island

Korean barbecue restaurant · Markham

@eater

"Open for: Lunch and dinner Price range: $$$ A few all-you-can-eat Korean barbecue spots still dot the city, but diners who prefer quality over quantity turn to a la carte places like Piggy’s that emphasize sourcing and culinary culture. Co-owners Joeun Kim and chef Tory Chun, along with Kim’s sister Julie and mother Gi Ja Lee, leverage their respective expertises, from business sense to UX design, to create a great customer experience. Before diving into the rich proteins, try the naengmyeon (cold noodles), made from scratch using sweet potato starch, which are sourced from South Korea. Then be sure to order the signature dwaeji galbi (pork ribs): The meat is aged in-house, marinated in a fruity blend, and — like all the meats at Piggy’s — cooked over 100-percent Korean oak charcoal. Best for: This is a grilled meat lover’s paradise, but don’t overlook the other delicacies, like hand-folded dumplings (with a medley of pork, beef, tofu, and vegetables) and Korean pancakes made with shrimp and chives." - Tiffany Leigh
