honey pig

pros and cons.. we have been there twice. once as a group of 4 and once as a group of 2.
pros - 1) the food is very good. 2) the service is fast (not to imply it is good).
cons - 1) with the group of 4 we ordered 2bbqdishes, a soup, and a pancake and were told by the waitress "no. it is dinner. 3bbqdishes." with the group of 2 we ordered 1bbqdish and 2 bowls of rice and were told by the manager taking our order "no. 2bbqdishes." when i said "no. 1bbqdish" we were told "ok for lunch. not for dinner. if you come for dinner you must order 2." this con makes diners feel really comfortable? no. they want money - plain and simple. 2) anything you ask for that takes time, like more napkins, gets a smirk as in "no time."
in summary, the food is good and comes quickly but the orders to the workers are sell the "correct" amount or the customer isn't worth our time.

for dinner, a friend and i wanted to try something different than our usual favorites and we were planning on heading outside of the city. i had heard good things about honey pig in howard county  and neither of us were familiar with koreanbbqso we figured we would check it out. i also remembered seeing a livingsocial deal for honey pig which we bought that saved us $14 . when we walked in around 8pm on a saturday evening,  honey pig  was packed, there was a 20 minute wait which wasn’t bad at all. even when we left  honey pig  probably around 10:30 there was still a wait to be seated. honey pig when we were seated, our table had a bunch of sides to use with our  koreanbbq. there was a sauce, jalapeños, a bean paste, kimchi, lettuce and more. this was my first time having  koreanbbq so i was a little confused about how to incorporate all of the sides into my dish. sides my friend and i decided to share two dishes, we started with the bulgogi.  one of the features of koreanbbqis they cook the meat in front of you, similar to hibacchi but without all of the bells and whistles. bulgogi is thinly sliced, grilled marinated beef. bulgogi cooking when the bulgogi came off the grill it was steaming. my friend and i were each served a large portion of meat. i ended up mixing this with my rice and one of the sauces. i thought the meat was incredibly tender but lacking in some flavor, that possibly could have had something to do with my unfamiliarity with  koreanbbq. bulgogi my friend and i also shared the chicken with fried rice. again we watched as this dish was cooked in front of us.

...recommend it as the best suburban koreanbbqi’ve been to so far, and hope that as their success builds, they begin to offer an even more varied menu.

honey pig is a fantastic koreanbbqclose to baltimore, md. it's apparently a small chain, even though it doesn't appear to be. it's setup as a classic koreanbbqplace, with gas heating elements built into the center of each table to cook the meat on right in front of you. korean hibachi, of sorts, but with the rest of the table also a beaten stainless steel, giving it a sort of post modern look. each dish is a different cut of meat, usually from either beef or pork - ranging from boneless short ribs (galbi) to pork bellies. besides that, we had also ordered the classic bulgogi, translated as "fire meat." two of some of mans' favorite words, if i may say. glass noodles with soy sauce and vegetables, some soups, steamed poached eggs, and the classic sets of korean picked appetizers were also included. more than enough food to kee

really good k-bbq. honey pig is on par with the better koreanbbqrestaurants in annandale, va. the bulgogi was tender, the pork belly was good but the waitress-cook burned some of it and then brought more pork to replace the burned pieces. the dining room gleams with metal surfaces and they even have a flat screen tv that was showing college football. if you like a variety of grilled meats, or even just watching your dinner cook right in front of you, you will like honey pig 2.
