The 15 Best Korean Restaurants in Houston | Eater Houston

"Originally founded by Korean immigrant Micky Kim in Virginia, this restaurant has become a crowd favorite thanks to its affordable, marinated meats that diners grill tableside. Beyond its hearty lunch and dinner combos, standouts include a kimchi and pork stew, sauteed yam noodles with veggies and a protein, and crisp lettuce wraps with a savory bean paste dipping sauce. Craving a comforting rice dish? Order the beef bibimbap, a satisfying mix of rice, vegetables, a fried egg, and tangy sauce for a perfect balance of flavors and textures." - Brianna Griff

The 6 Best Korean BBQ Restaurants In Austin

"Right next to H-Mart in Cedar Park, Honey Pig is part of a small chain of Korean barbecue restaurants, with an a la carte menu of meats, soups, and noodles. The dining room here is open and industrial, with circular metal tables surrounded by little barrel bar stools that make the whole place feel a bit like a Korean pub. Expect to find a wide range of meats, the highlights being the thinner, marinated cuts. If you’re afraid of cooking your own food, but still enjoy the show, Honey Pig is the spot for you—servers will come by to place and prep all the meats, so all you have to do is sit back, relax, and snack on a small selection of banchan while you wait. " - nicolai mccrary

"East Coast Korean barbecue restaurant Honey Pig BBQ is opening in Austin this year. The restaurant is located at 11301 Lakeline Boulevard in the Lakeline neighborhood, according to Williamson Reporter. The restaurant is now open as of July 4. The restaurant is known for its variety of grill-it-yourself meats from brisket, bulgogi, galbi, pork belly, tripe, intestines, duck, squid, and more. Rounding out the menu are other Korean dishes, from kimchi pancakes, dumplings, tteokbokki, stews and soups, bibimbap, to noodles.

Honey Pig’s initial hours are from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Thursday; 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday; and 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday.

We went to this Korean BBQ spot to celebrate my wife's birthday, and it was an amazing experience! Even though we showed up without a reservation, the staff was incredibly welcoming and managed to find us a table—definitely a big plus considering how busy the place was. The service was top-notch throughout the night. The staff was attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed. The food was fresh and delicious, and grilling at the table made it a fun and interactive dinner. We also had a few cold beers, which paired perfectly with the BBQ. Highly recommend this place for any special occasion or just a fun night out. Just a heads-up: it gets very busy, so I’d suggest making a reservation ahead of time to avoid waiting. Will definitely be coming back!

We always love coming here. Service is top notch every time we come. Food is always tasty and fresh and comes up quick. The ambiance and interior design of the restaurant is very welcoming and cozy. If you're in the area I recommend this place 100%.

Honey Pig BBQ in Austin was a great spot for my birthday celebration. The pricing is reasonable, and I really liked the setup—good ventilation means you don’t walk out smelling like BBQ, plus they even provide Febreze for your clothes, which is a thoughtful touch. For three people, we spent about $100, which felt fair for the quality and portions. The service was good, and the restaurant itself is spacious and airy, making for a comfortable dining experience. Would definitely come back!

I come here probably 2x a month- everything is absolutely delicious. My boyfriend is the one that got an ad on Facebook of this place and it’s probably one of the worst mistakes financially that he’s done. I crave it so much! I’ve brought friends and family to eat and they’ve all loved. The friendly staff, fast paced food, and reasonably priced. 100/10 recommend.

Had a great time at Honey pig Bbq in Austin! We got the BBQ beef combo, and the friendly staff grilled it for us right at the table. The grilling wasn’t super polished, but their warm service totally made up for it. The unmarinated beef was top-notch—super fresh and high-quality, you could really taste it! The marinated beef, though, was a bit of a miss; the seasoning didn’t quite hit the mark. Overall, it was a solid experience with a fun vibe. Definitely worth a visit for BBQ fans!

This was a new experience for my husband and me, but we enjoyed it! We had no clue what to do or order, but our waitress was super helpful & sweet and gave us thoughts and advice on everything (popular food dishes, how & what to dip in the sauces, knowledge of each dish, etc.). They provide 3 dipping sauces, and some side dishes, and we ordered the corn cheese, macaroni, spicy pork belly, beef brisket, and beef rib if I remember correctly and it was all very good (especially with the dips) and fun to watch her cook it. The stools you sit on also double as storage, just don't forget your purse or jacket in it like I did haha. All of the staff were friendly and attentive so I'm not sure why people are saying service is terrible- in fact it was amazing service, which I don't see often anymore. My one issue is they were playing K-pop type music videos (women in minimal "choice" clothing) on their screens which we didn't prefer but again I assume that goes with their theme, which is why I took off a star as it's a bit distracting. Definitely a unique and fun experience!

Honey Pig is one of my go-to KBBQ spots in North Austin! They have a good variety of meat and it’s pretty fresh. I had Yun serve my table and she has been wonderful! I’ve had her before and I love her enthusiasm and care. I always bring guests here for dinner.

Absolutely delicious! Date night with my husband, we had an amazing experience at Honey Pig BBQ. The Korean BBQ was full of flavor, perfectly marinated, and cooked just right. The meats were tender and juicy, and the side dishes were fresh and plentiful. The staff was friendly and attentive, and the whole vibe of the place was fun and energetic. Everything tasted authentic and satisfying—we left full and happy! Highly recommend if you’re craving great Korean food. We will definitely be back!

I like the upbeat and lively nature of this place, it takes me back to those casual Korean eateries in the drinking districts. They give you a lot of sides and service is good. Not an all you can eat I don't think, but still good.

Came here on a whim and I'm ready to go back. If you haven't eaten at a place like this many times, I will say this is one of the more friendly place to try out. The staff was super helpful and very hands on with the cooking portion. Continuously checking in and making sure everything was good. The food was delicious. Besides the meat, the potato salad I could eat buckets of. You get several sides, salad, dipping sauces, and you own water bottle. They also have other drinks for order. It is a lot of food for 2 so you will not be hungry if you have a small party or large party. The round tables do hold 5 or 6 people. Over all great experience. It is a tad pricey but i guess you pay for both food and experience and hands on service is a plus.

Horrible service! Table of 7 and after giving us 3 plates of kimchi we were told that's the max they can serve us due to the restaurant putting a limit of 3 per table! lol I thought it was a joke. I even asked to pay extra for it! The 2 waitresses were both rude. Service took forever and the meat quality was meh. Thankfully there are other awesome kbbq in Austin to go to but not this one!

Honey Pig BBQ is usually a go-to spot for me, with reliably good food. However, during my recent visit, the service left a lot to be desired. We came by for lunch on a slow weekday. The waitress and host were cold and didn't seem interested in accommodating our table's needs. We weren't given enough rice or side dishes, which took away from the overall experience. The food was mostly okay as always, but the lackluster service made the visit less enjoyable. Hopefully, it was just an off day.

Came across this bbq place and decided to try it for the live bbq experience . The wait time was average and we waited about 20-25 mins on a Friday night which was not too bad . We could track the wait time as well which was good . The ambiance was good and service was okay . We ordered the spicy chicken and tofu soup . Both tasted good but chicken was a bit on the sweeter side . We ordered medium spicy for both and they were tolerable on the spice level . The sides were many and each tasted really good . You have to watch your meat cook and remind them to switch off when cooked as there might be a chance that it would be overcooked if left for a while, especially the chicken . Overall, good experience for a Korean bbq and would return but might not be a regular .

I've been here a few times now and the food is consistently good. During my most recent visit, I was with a group of people who were new to the KBBQ experience. Honey Pig seemed like a good pick because they are supposed to cook the meat for you here. However, our waitress was not keeping an eye on our table and our meat would have burned if I didn't take care of it myself. In addition, while the grill was being changed, the container holding the drained oil fell into the flame. Thankfully, it didn't spill but the workers really need more training because this can pose serious danger. With an automatic gratuity added, I'd hope for better service. I like Honey Pig because I don't have to be responsible for the grill - somewhat disappointed.

If you're craving Korean BBQ near Cedar Park, look no further than Honey Pig BBQ. This restaurant has become our go-to spot for a sizzling culinary adventure, and for good reason. From the moment we walk in, the tantalizing aroma of grilling meats sets the stage for an unforgettable dining experience. The atmosphere is vibrant and welcoming, with the sounds of laughter and sizzling grills adding to the excitement. Our favorite dishes include the bulgogi and LA kalbi ribs. The bulgogi, with its thinly sliced beef marinated to perfection, never fails to impress. Each bite is a burst of flavor, leaving us wanting more. But the real star of the show is the LA kalbi ribs. Tender, juicy, and perfectly grilled, these ribs are a carnivore's dream come true. The marinade is just right, adding a depth of flavor that keeps us coming back for more. The staff at Honey Pig BBQ are always friendly and attentive, ensuring that our dining experience is nothing short of excellent. They guide us through the menu and expertly grill our meats, allowing us to sit back, relax, and enjoy the feast. Overall, Honey Pig BBQ never disappoints. Whether you're a barbecue enthusiast or simply looking for a delicious meal, this restaurant is a must-visit. Trust me, you won't regret it.

This is an authentic Korean barbecue restaurant if you take the word of someone who's never been to Korea. But it's a lot like a Korean place I enjoyed in Tokyo. A meal here is an experience. Take your time. If you haven't eaten (or cooked your own) Korean barbecue before, just tell your server and they'll hold your hand. All you have to remember is don't touch the grill. You probably can't go wrong with any choice, but I always go with pork belly because, well, it's pretty much bacon. Every entree comes with a rash of sides, some better than others but try them all. The rice, while basic, is the perfect foil for everything else. Lots of options for drinks but know what you're doing if you go the Korean route. I don't even know what the clear liquor I got was, except strong.

I keep running into a higher bar on hotpot's! This one was excellent! Yun our server was so sweet and nice! This was a birthday celebration for my son! We ordered the premium hotpot. It's not eat all you can but it's better they cook it for you! I prefer this! Excellent flavor on the meats. We had 11 different kinds for around 50$. That included the Korean sides, egg and rice! It's next to HMart so very convenient too! They even had a surprise bday song with glitter candle and desert!!! You shouldn't miss this place!

I am so glad that this place opened. I've only heard good things, and I came at the very start of their business very recently, and their quality has been consistent -- VERY GOOD. I grew up in Korea, so I was surprised to see how authentic everything was. The servers cook your meat for you + check up on you very often, the banchan + soup are perfectly seasoned, and there are vegetables on the grill! The meat is high quality and melts in your mouth. If you are unsure of what to get, there are different sets so that you can try a variety of meats. One of the cons of going to a barbeque place is the stench that remains in your clothes. It's winter so I'm wearing thick layers, but you can put those clothes inside the seat! (the top lifts up so that there is a small compartment to put all belongings). The chairs are kind of uncomfortable though. If I ever crave Korean bbq, I will pick this place over any other place in Austin! And I've tried all of them!

Came here for a team lunch. It's good for parties of 6 but any more you split up the tables so it's hard to go with a group any larger. There is a lot of options though. Something for everyone. We went with the premium at our table and it was soooo much food. There was a ton of meat that it feed the 5 at our table easily. The server came and cooked most of the food. We weren't sure if we should be cooking it but she did most of it until the end. The shrimp, steak and squid got over cooked at the end because they were left on the grill. It was a fun experience and the ventilation was good as we didn't smell like KBBQ after it. Would come back for lunch again with a smaller group.

Came here on a Monday night and there was no wait. Staff was super friendly. Explained how the process worked and they were very attentive. The sides (you get 3 total rounds of the sides like kimchee, etc) we're good. Kinda missing silver noodles. The sauces were perfect. Meats--delicious. We got the beef combo ($99). There were 3 of us so they didn't let us get the top combo ($139) that had more variety like pork belly, squid, shrimp. My question is, why can't I pay more for the bigger combo, regardless of how many people in my party. Feels like a missed revenue growth opportunity. The server cooked our meats for us. A little different since I prefer to cook my own meats so they're to my liking. For instance, why would I dump the entire amount of brisket that takes little time to cook on the grill when I can do it in matches? Maybe I want all the meats in the smaller quantities at a time so I can try them all at once vs in phases? For that, I docked off a star.

My first time eating Korean Barbecue and while everyone else seemed to think it was great, it wasn't my cup of tea. This is nothing like Barbecue at all. Apparently in Korea, anything cooked at the table is referred to as barbecue. This was thin heavily marbled beef stir fried on a very hot raised disc. There were a couple of pieces of vegetables but scant few for 4 people. The marbling had more to do with producing a lot of fatty grease and not so much flavor in my opinion and some if it was very chewy. The sides include a ginger flavored green salad to share, steamed white rice, and a couple other Korean dishes kimchi and a tofu soup with a few mushrooms. I defer to the others at the table to rate this 4 stars based on their opinions. If you enjoy Korean Barbecue, then according them this is a very good place. The price for 4 without any alcohol (we all had water) was about $125. As for me, I'll give it a miss from now on.

The price for Honey Pig BBQ is more expensive than ayce bbq places but that's because the quality of meat is better in my opinion! I also like how they cooked it for you, so there was no stress in figuring out how to cook each meat. You could tell they had a plan on how and what order to cook the meat in based on what cuts of meat you ordered. I really enjoyed the beef brisket and beef belly because they were thinly sliced and melted in your mouth. They were also cooked with onions, garlic, and jalapeños which added a really nice aroma to the meat. Ambiance is very nice inside! Reminds me of what kbbq places in Korea would look and feel like.

My wife and I have come to eat here plenty of times with our family and friends. This is one of the most authentic Korean restaurants in the area for a Korean Restaurant food chain. They have plenty of meat options, and be careful with your eyes because your stomach will be full before you know it. The service here is fabulous, they say you can cook your own meal but they steadily take care of you he entire time whether they are super busy or not. The ambiance of the restaurant is very open. I will say the music can be super loud at times because they need a white noise to kill the loudness. They have great Korean beer selection to include domestic beer. If you're up to try the Soju go for it. But I myself will not touch and haven't touched soju since I was over in Korea 25 years ago. LoL Plenty of parking in the private lot. They do accept Apple and Google pay so your payment is secure here.

Second time here and just as amazing! We love how they changed the grill to charcoal for our prime rib. It added the smoky flavor which was amazing. The mandu and gungjung tteokbokki are good but not mind blowing. It was my first time trying gungjung tteokbokki and it's pretty much stir fry rice cake with bugulgi and veggies, which is pretty solid. I love their soybean paste soup which resembles miso but thicker and spicer. Their banchans are good, with the kimchi and fishcake standing out the most. The fishcakes are on the sweeter side which suites my taste. The service is amazing. The servers come to your table to grill for you and they cooked the food just right. The ambiance is very modern Korean pop, which is great for casual family and friend hang out!

Visited for a friends birthday and was very impressed. The decor is great, spacious, not too crowded so big groups don't feel that they're smushed together with no room to move around. The food was PHENOMENAL. We ordered two premium steak meals and an order of pork belly. All delicious! Our waitress helped us to cook and prepare the food and did so with perfection on top of excellent service and efficiency. Sometimes the grill is a lot to handle for a big group, but she was very attentive, and really helped us maximize the experience in order to enjoy our birthday celebration. I can't speak enough about the food quality itself. Fresh, flavorful, well prepared, even the side dishes were fantastic. A great place, and to top it off they gave us a great happy birthday five minutes celebration!! (See photos) Lastly, the Soju - delicious. All the flavors. Highly recommend.

We should've done our research before assuming this place was like AYCE joint In ATL. They are a la carte and had 3 combos which wasn't appealing to our preference and the quality of meat was subpar. The corn dish was $11.99 which was basically a half can of corn and half bag of cheese. Not impressed by their banchan. The service was fairly good and attentive. The ambiance was pretty packed but efficient on the turnaround of customers.

We always try to come during off peak hours to avoid a wait. Arrived around 4pm today and we were seated right away. For three people, we ordered beef brisket, half order of kalbi and thin sliced pork belly. It was more than enough food. We love, love LOVE the unlimited slides and the sauces for dipping the meats. Having been to my fair share of Kbbq spots growing up in LA, I do appreciate that they have someone come by and cook the meats for you (not sure if this is only during off peak hours). I also like that you don't smell like kbbq afterwards. The service is always super quick--as soon as you sit down, the sides follow right after. Meats are quality and fresh. Highly recommend!!

This is our second visit to Honey Pig and there was no line - we arrived around 7pm on a Tuesday evening. Classic Korean bbq place vibe. They also do special props for ppl celebrating their birthday. Both the beef & pork combo platters were great. And the combo sets also come with a soup stew, a steamed egg and 3 bowls of rice. I love their marinated kalbi and bulgogi but our server was not very attentive. She was also taking care of another bbq stove and some of our meats got burned, so we just took the tools and did the bbq ourselves. I'd also suggest the restaurant to make sure that lettuce are served with the sets. We had to request for lettuce several times and every time we notified the server they only brought us 3 pieces of (mind that there were 7 of us at the table). Overall food is ok but the service really need some improvements.

Definitely hovers between 3 and 4 stars for me, but the service is good. It's expensive for what it is, and most of the meats don't really stand out. However, it is tasty, the setup of the restaurant is comfortable and cozy, and the servers are always very accommodating. There are plenty of side dishes, every time I've gone has been fun.

I heard about this place a few times from different friends so I thought giving it a try. It turned out one of the best dinner decisions I've made since moving to Austin. The meat quality was great. Portion was generous. Side dishes were also on point. My friend and I also ordered the Korean rice cake, corn cheese, and spicy Korean tofu soup. Everything was delicious and very close to the authentic flavor. I will go back soon.

Alrighty then!!! So Honey Pig BBQ is absolutely awesome goodness!!! My ladies have been beating me up to go here every-time we shop at H-Mart!! So, while coming out we noticed that it was not crazy busy ( like every other time we have thought about going), so we bounced in and were seated right away. The ambiance is extremely casual and feels like home, except we ordered more food than our table could hold...lol Our older daughter is a Korean BBQ aficionado so of course followed her lead and all I can remember with all of the food coming out was we had Beef belly, Ribeye, brisket, pork galbi!! The experience was absolutely wonderful and the food was even better!! I cant give this place enough props for bringing this authentic food experience to Austin. Understanding the origins and the story behind Honey Pig made it even better as I can appreciate the authenticity that is being delivered here. The staff is just ultra attentive and so NICE!! If you are ever in the area DO NOT miss the opportunity to drop in and experience awesome Korean BBQ at its best. We will become regulars because its just that good

I called ahead on a Saturday night and wait was only estimated to 15 min so we decided to check this place out. You use a tablet to check in and get text updates on your place in the waitlist. Took about 20 min -- not too bad! Plenty of indoor seating to wait. I liked the call button on the table and the vent to suck up the smoke while grilling. You will still come home smelling like KBBQ but it was nice to not have it in our face the whole time. We sat at the round table. It's pretty cramped with all the dishes that you get. Service was good. The staff hustles. I had to use the call button a couple times for water or more sides, but they were always quick to respond. Food was SO good. You can't really go wrong at KBBQ places -- just as long as the place is clean lol we did the brisket, bulgogi, and tofu soup with beef. I loved the soup. The first time my soup came out, they mistakenly brought it with seafood and I had to wait another 15ish min for my correct order but it was worth the wait. The other bummer was that the menu had a kids section but when we tried to order the kids bulgogi, the server said they don't have it available. Didn't make sense since it would just be a smaller portion than the standard bulgogi. Because of this, we ended up spending about $12 more for the same dish for our daughter. Of the 3-4 places we've tried around town, this is our new fave. Definitely a drive from SW Austin but we'll be back.

Today's update. 09/23/2023 Saturday 2:57 pm. Chadol (thin sliced beef brisket) was good. Service was a little stumbled, since we didn't have the usual lady server instead, we had a new male one served our table. He was a bit everywhere, but did fulfilled our requests (except the extra garlic). Dapae samgyul (thin sliced pork belly) Was an issue today. As soon as we had first one in the mouth, me and my mother immediately spit it out. Then we called the manager and let her try the other pieces on the grill. The pork meat was definitely had the smell of going off. Since we have to do grocery shopping afterwards, we don't wish to get food poison. So we ask for replace the dish to another chadol. Be aware, try to first meat when it is done cooked without any sauce or seasoning to check the meat quality is fine. If you taste or smell something off, immediately call the server or manager. Other than this, we enjoyed the lunch.

Honey Pig BBQ was pretty nice, but probably not for me. I think 3 stars might be generous for a place that gets the great majority of your order wrong and forgets items. For starters, they got over 2/3rds of my order wrong and they did not care about that fact at all. We've tried thick pork belly before, so we were all dreading who was going to finish it. We didn't order it, but we got it. We even had an exchange about the varying spice levels of the chicken I ordered. What makes it over 2/3rds? They also forgot our rice so I had to make sure the meal came with rice... so yeah, wrong meats and we didn't get our rice until we finished most of our bulgogi while waiting for it. The employees didn't seem to care about any of these errors. The banchan was alright. I wasn't into their fish cake strips, but their spicy cucumber was 5/5. Everything else was average. There was a spicy tofu soup that came out afterwards which I loved. They also gave us an egg soufflé which was a pretty nice side to have. It was a good amount of food - I can't see someone coming out of here hungry, even if they were to order less than one meat per person. Beef Bulgogi - Pretty nice, I prefer a stronger and sweeter bulgogi, but everyone is different in this regard. No complaints, I'd get this again. (Assumed) Spicy Pork Belly - I've tried pork belly at BBQ joints before. I already know it isn't something we like, so I wasn't a fan. I will say this was one of the better pork bellies, but I wish I got the thinly sliced pork I ordered. (Assumed) Half-order Kalbi Ribs - Pretty darn delicious, as ribs tend to be. They have to switch the grill to an alternative grill for this one. I'd get this again. Something about Honey Pig BBQ that I'm split on - it isn't really a grill your own place? An employee ended up cooking most of our meat which I guess is fine, but some people might not like this. It's a different experience and probably a good one for newcomers to grill-your-own places. Taste-wise, I'd go here again, but the forgetfulness and the sheer incorrect order even when we discussed specifics of our order is baffling.

AUSTIN, TX / KOREAN / 02-05-23 / LUNCH +The hand-sliced prime rib was delicious! The meat was lightly seasoned to perfection and very tender. +The marinated galbi was pretty good, too. +Customer service was excellent! The front hostess brought balloons to our two little ones, which is an awesome idea. +The servers were attentive and made sure we were enjoying our meal. -The horseradish sauce for the cold buckwheat noodle dish was a bit watery and lacking a spicy kick. -A few more charcoal pieces would've given the meat a bit more smoky char flavor, in my opinion. Overall, we will definitely be back to this Honey Pig location. Go check them out and give them some Yelp love, y'all!

Such a cute spot to eat! I had heard a lot of good things about Honey Pig so I was very excited to eat here. Sadly, they don't take reservations. But while it was pretty busy inside, they're able to fit in a lot of tables so it wasn't a long wait at all. We originally just ordered the Premium Combo which was so delicious and is pretty accurate in its description of feeding 6 people. The meat is really flavorful and tender, and it comes with a nice variety of options. I wasn't the biggest fan of how the waiter put almost all of the meat on the grill for us but that's just a personal preference for slowly getting through the meats one at a time. We also ended up ordering the LA Beef Rib since I came with a party of 7 and this was probably my favorite. I definitely recommend trying!! All of the side dishes were delicious and they will refill it for you three times before charging extra. I heard the lunch special is a really good deal, but for dinner, it's a bit pricey. While the meat is pretty good quality, I think Honey Pig is a place to go more for special occasions rather than just for a casual night of Korean barbecue.

Finally came here for lunch on a Sunday. Since we got there at 12pm on a Sunday, there was no wait so we're seated right away. There were many meat options on the menu from sets to el carte. We opted to get the LA kalbi and prime rib since there was only two of us. The banchons I feel weren't as good as other kbbq place I've been to but the kimchi was quite delicious. They also cook the meat for you as opposed to you cooking it yourself. Overall I think it was decent but I still preferred the KBBQ place by 99 Ranch as I feel you get more for your buck there.

Bravo Austin, thank you for hosting Honey Pig! I first ate at Honey Pig when I lived in Maryland and I was instantly hooked. I know authentic Korean food and it is authentic Korean food. There is nothing watered down to meet Western culture's idea of Korean food here. The location in Maryland is an all you can eat and worth the price. Although Austin's location is not all you can eat, the portion size for the pork combo fed three people and we were stuffed. When you check in, they take your number and give you a site that you can view your standing on the waitlist in real time. It was a Friday night and it was already packed when we got there but it didn't take more than 40 mins for us to be seated. The atmosphere was different...more Austin-like but it didn't deter from their menu or the taste. There was plenty of seating, high ceilings, loud music, good vibes and great service. It's traditional Korean, so they cook and cut your meat and arrange everything for you. You can also do it yourself but why when you are there for the full experience!

First time and it was delicious! We got the premium combo which had the biggest group portion including galbi, bulgogi, shrimp, salad, side dishes, rice, and other meat. My favorite is definitely the galbi. Marinated really well and so soft. There are cute drawings in the restroom. They don't take reservations but luckily we got a table. The tables are kinda small to fit all the food. Side dishes are not unlimited. You can refill three times and then they charge you extra.

Came here on a Saturday night to celebrate a friends birthday. It does get busy, so I would recommend getting there a bit earlier to put your name down. I'm not sure if they take reservations since I have never tried. Hmart is right next door which is an Asian grocery store that has a food court and some stores if you're looking to kill time. We usually order a la carte to get a mix of both pork and beef. I usually get the LA beef kalbi and the pork kalbi for 2 people with another entree like a soup. It's a gas grill you're sitting around and they bring out the raw meat to cook. The waiters do walk around and help you cook the meat and cut it into smaller pieces so don't worry about knowing when to flip, etc. they also bring out banchan (side dishes) to eat with the food which is very common in Korean cuisine. Usually some marinated cucumbers, fish cakes, kimchi, macaroni salad. Etc. and some dipping sauces for the meat. I recommend asking for ssamjang (soybean dipping paste) which is so good! When you order I think 2 or more meats, it comes with a small tofu stew and steamed eggs. The service here can be hit or miss but most Korean bbq places imo are like that given how busy they are. This is my go to place for Korean bbq up north, but I wish they had charcoal grills for more of an authentic flavor. Highly recommend coming for someone's birthday though since they turn off the lights, give your party glow sticks, birthday person a hat, and then the whole staff and even restaurant start singing happy birthday lol. Its a good time! I'm usually to busy eating to take quality photos, but a few below!

Honey Pig BBQ: A Taste of Korea in Austin We recently had the pleasure of visiting Honey Pig BBQ, a Korean BBQ restaurant in Austin, Texas. We were blown away by the amazing food and the inspiring story of its founder, Micky Kim. Micky Kim immigrated to the United States in the late 1970s with a dream of sharing her love of Korean culture through food. In 2007, she opened her first Honey Pig BBQ restaurant in Annandale, Virginia. The restaurant was an instant success, and Honey Pig has since expanded to multiple locations in the DMV area, as well as Houston and Austin. Honey Pig is more than just a restaurant. It's a place where people of all cultures can come together to enjoy delicious food and celebrate Korean culture. Micky Kim is a true inspiration, and we're grateful for her dedication to sharing her love of Korea with the world. If you're looking for a delicious and authentic Korean BBQ experience in Austin, Texas, we highly recommend Honey Pig BBQ. You won't be disappointed!

Being a fan of Honey Pig in the ATL, I wanted to love this spot but missed the 5-star review. Overall, great location, and I can understand the draw for Austin, but my comparisons are the LA spots that I live next to, so the bar is relatively high for what I love. I'm going to try this spot again to see if it was the grand opening time frame, and I didn't try the pork belly dishes, so I can only speak on the food we did have. Pros: - Hooded vents - The parking lot is abundant - Large selection on the menu - Ton of food when you order - Offered BYOB ($10 corkage fee) Side Notes: - Working on beverage license - $10 corkage fee for BYOB - Convenient parking to H-Mart - Being new, expect slower service What We Ate + Drank: - Beef Combo - LA Beef Rib - Bulgogi - Ribeye Steak - Boneless Rib - Soybean Paste Stew - Egg Soufflé Summary I took my mother there, and she's an old-school Korean that makes all her banchan from scratch, so this is a very biased review. From eating homemade food from my mom, LA-based KBBQ, to eating Korean dining from around the world, from NYC to South Korea. Firstly, the banchan was bland to us, and it didn't have much flavor, and the bean sprouts, aka (Kongnamul Muchim), missed the mark. Not sure if the freshness of the bean sprouts were off, but I remember Honey Pig in ATL tasting very differently. Secondly, as mentioned, we didn't get the pork combo or octopus/squid, so we can't speak about it. It reminded us of all-you-can-eat places, where you know the taste will be slightly off, but you focus on the quantity. The service was slow, given that it was about 60% capacity on a Wed early afternoon. Our soups came out late, so we didn't finish them, but after eating a bit of it, it was average complementary soups that accompanied the combo. They did their best, so I want to give them another shot after they work out their kinks. For Austin, it's a needed addition to the KBBQ selection you can get around town. I will give it another chance in hopes the customer service, quality of food taste, and liquor/drink services are readily available. For those looking for a spot, you should check this place out, as we're not food critics. We'll update the review after we get a chance to try out the rest of the menu!

Going to a k-bbq place as a vegetarian is stressful as it is -- this place didn't make it any easier. Eating vegetarian food with a group of meat-eaters is always a challenge but usually there's a couple decent options in most restaurants, this one included. The only issue here was the staff making you feel rushed and insignificant if you weren't ordering their fancy $100 meat options for the bbq. Went here around 9:45 on a Saturday night (they close at 11) and felt rushed to order, pay and finish eating the whole time. Tried to call the server for some water but was ignored, until she came by to remind us to pay the check while we were still eating at 10:20 since they wanted to close the register or something? Even if the food was insanely amazing-- I wouldn't go back simply because of their staff. Meat eaters might disagree with me and that's fine, my experience is entirely my own.

It's got Honey (I think), it's got Pig (pork), and it's a BBQ! Put all those together and add a little hype from friends and social media and you get one place to satisfy the meat cravings KBBQ style. Coming here on a whim while I was near the Lakeline area I went ahead and tried. Atmosphere: Modern KBBQ style, meaning you'll see those round tables complete with grill in the center. One thing that stood out is that they had vents over the grills to get rid of any smoke so you don't have an overwhelming smell of BBQ. Food: This place may not be buffet style but it more than makes up for it in quality of meat and what you get. One platter of meat is more than enough to satisfy one if you're moderately hungry plus there are also larger platters if you feel so venturous. After being here twice I'd say my stand out favorite are the LA Beef ribs then followed by the pork belly. Savory Delights! I'd also recommend the cheese corn, nothing like a good melty savory cheese appetizer to go along with it all. Service: Something that stood out for me here is that the servers offer to cook the BBQ for you unlike other KBBQ places. This can be enjoyable for both new and veterans as sometimes it's nice to just let someone else to do it and watch. Both times I've gone services has been very friendly and attentive. Honey Pig out here if you have the craving for some BBQ. I certainly will be back to try some of their other platters. It's un-grill-leavable

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!! A kbbq here in my hood! We arrived during their soft opening on a Thursday for dinner. We went a little before the dinner rush so we didn't have to wait for our seats. I enjoy the atmosphere as it reminds me of the kbbq back at home but it was a little too loud so my kids couldn't hear us very well across the table. Soft opening so some of the dishes we wanted were out of stock. No galbitang for my kids or even the popular galbi cut with the bone at the end. Instead we got the "ugly galbi" which has the hatch-mark cuts across the meat. There won't be any seasoning on the meat because you are actually suppose to be dipping in the sauce provided. I was pleased that the sesame oil is real and not mixed like some kbbq places do to save cost! Pork belly is superb in the sesame oil, and the darker sauce will be best paired with the beef. Mix and try to see what you prefer but this is just my opinion. Customer service was nice and friendly. If you need help cooking the meats, the servers will help you. It is pretty common for them to help you cook your meat actually. We will come back to try the other dishes when they are fully opened with everything on the menu but so far we are pleased with what is offered here so far. Everything was tasty and the banchan (small side dishes) was delicious as well. Please give it a try~ 4 stars.

For a soft opening the service and food was great!!! We have been waiting a long time to try this place out. I've been anxiously waiting for them to open. Honey Pig BBQ is not an AYCE KBBQ so you can order a la carte or we went with a combo where we could try different meats and get some seafood too. I love spicy cold noodles so I did try it out. They definitely came through with the red chili pepper so I would most definitely get that again. Yum! They server was amazing. He checked on us constantly and helped us cut up the meat and grill things. Very helpful bringing out plates so we can move the meat off the grill since our little plates were full. Definitely can't wait to come back.
