My friend took me out to eat here this week. It's one of my favorite restaurants, but I also missed it so much when the ktown location closed (but luckily they reopened again recently).
Whenever anyone used to ask me for a Korean bbq recommendation, I used to say there's nowhere else worth going than to the original Baekjeong, but when they closed, things were a bit grim for a while until Pigya opened up.
While Pigya quickly became my absolute favorite Korean bbq restaurant in the absence of a local Baekjeong, it still is right up there at the top. Like the margins between the two restaurants is a matter of inches.
For Torrance, however, I would say this is the best Korean bbq restaurant you will find in the area.
We got the marinated combo, which I never had before. While I'm not normally a fan of bulgogi, I was actually impressed by it. And then even more so by the pork bulgogi. They cook those two items in the back.
For the meats they cook at the table, they had an amazing prime beef belly that just goes so well with the sauce they have. Next to last, the Seasoned Prime Boneless Short Rib came out, which has the perfect seasoning. Then the marinated pork collar it ended with was just ok.
I'm happy with my meal and so glad I could enjoy a favorite restaurant I've gone to for years.
The service was super attentive, they cook for you and the ambiance is nice due to how much space the venue has.
A perfect place to go to in Torrance for sure!
