How could we have not gone to Piglet & Co earlier? I have no idea. The only thing I can think of is the location. We typically turn onto Mission Street a half block after Piglet & Co - thereby missing an incredible restaurant. The food was incredible - we could have eaten everything on the menu. As we were heading to the Alamo for a movie, that was the only thing that constrained our food choices - how much could we eat in an hour. Definitely worth multiple visits in the future!!

We loved our dinner at Piglet & Co. The space has great energy - diners are clearly enjoying themselves - there is a warm vibe. We were greeted by the friendly co-owner who was helpful guiding us through dinner selection choices. Everything was delicious - especially the prawn & pork toast with honeyed walnuts. Also, we highly recommend the turnip garnished salad with mixed greens and radish shavings, and the pork lettuce wraps which are served with a mustard slaw and an aioli.

Have you ever experienced the sadness that comes from a disconnect between what you hoped for and what you received? That describes our experience with Piglet & Co. The service was bad, the food ok, and the resulting experience deeply disappointing. I had read the gushing reviews across multiple platforms. I heard from friends who had dined there. All were complimentary. So I was very excited to get a reservation on a quiet Sunday, even though the only available slot was for bar seating, which is not my preference. We arrived five minutes early and found ourselves standing with two other couples, who had been waiting for more than five minutes. The restaurant was mostly empty, and there was a sign saying they were taking walk-ins, so we assumed we could get a table instead of the bar. We waited for another five minutes, with no front-of-house making an appearance. I finally went to the person behind the bar, who said they would be out shortly. Ten minutes later, we were seated at the bar, after being told that the tables were completely booked. The empty tables never filled. The waitstaff was brusque - apparently annoyed that I had sought out attention previously. We were asked if we wanted still or sparkling; I said sparkling while my partner said still. The waitstaff brought over still. I asked again for sparkling; she took away my still water and brought the sparkling, all with an air of annoyance. We ordered two dishes - the honey walnut shrimp and pork toast and the confit pork belly. Both were ok. The toast was extremely greasy and the only implement provided was a set of chopsticks. The flavor was interesting, but it would have been more enjoyable if served with a fork and knife. The pork belly was tender but overly sweet. The surrounding vegetables and rice were fantastic, which saved the overall rating. The service was surprisingly bad and disappointing. We will not be back.

Went for brunch and everything we ordered was delicious and I would recommend: Honey Walnut Shrimp and Pork Toast, Lu Rou Fan, Loco Moco, French Toast (make sure to add the Salted Egg Custard topping!)
Ken
Amazing service and wish we could have ordered the whole menu. Standouts are the wings, honey walnut shrimp toast and ribs and house sambal! Can't wait to return.

Ribs were gristly! And that's what I went for, and they tout. WAY understaffed. Got up and went to them to: order, get more drinks, ask for serving utensils (they NEVER BROUGHT ANY - and then said they had run out and would have to use forks! Restaurant was less than half full on a Friday...), and to get the bill, AND TO PAY. Other dishes were great, but....
Jenn
Amazing food, we loved every dish! Hokkaido scallop dynamite and honey walnut shrimp were favorites
Susan
Fabulous, friendly, warm service and very attentive to the two birthdays we were celebrating! The food is delicious, unique and great for sharing! We loved it all! We will return!

We loved Piglet & Co. The staff, both front of house and kitchen, was friendly, outgoing and kind. Get the pickled wood ear mushrooms. NOW. So delicious! Maybe avoid the very tempting noodles in gravy. Charred cauliflower with accompanying herb-a-licious, chimichurri is killer. Did someone say yes to the ribs? Smart of you.
Judy
We had a great meal and tried a variety of dishes that were all delicious. Our favorite was the shrimp toast, ribs, the okonomiye, noodles, and pickle sampler. The servers were super friendly and food came out quickly! We will definitely go back!!!
Amazing and delicious! Would go back in a heart beat. Honey walnut prawns were incredible!

My husband, daughter, and I had dinner at Piglet & Co. for the first time last night to celebrate our 46th wedding anniversary. The restaurant is usually not open on Mondays except once a month for a popup. We had a chance to sample some “street food” items that are not usually on their regular menu. Everything we ordered was very delicious. We were not disappointed. The service was exceptional as well. And we found out that our server was actually the co-owner and wife of the chef. I am currently undergoing chemotherapy treatment and some of the medications have affected my taste buds. However, I was still able to taste many of the delicious foods last night. They even comped us an ice cream sundae for our anniversary! Thank you for making our 46th anniversary a memorable one!

Wonderful service. It was nice being able to talk with the owner. Wonderful conversation and wonderful time and wonderful food
Jimmy
This is a really creative Taiwanese-American fusion restaurant. We really enjoyed how they took traditional things, like salty winter melon, but candied them to make a sweet topping. Very cool.
Bert
Great ambiance, and the food was delish - especially enjoyed the taro puffs and the pork stir fries. We'll be back again!
