Located in Whittier, Lucky Pig offers a delightful fusion of Korean and Japanese cuisine, perfect for brunch and dinner. The restaurant's minimalist aesthetic and friendly staff create a cozy ambiance for diners. The pork katsu, especially the donkatsu, is a highlight with thick slices that are moist, juicy, and very filling, despite its appearance. The quality of the hire katsu (pork fillet) is unmatched, perfectly tender with a light, crispy crust that enhances the flavor without overpowering the meat. Every bite offers a blissful experience, and the consistency of flavors makes the experience memorable. The omurice is a must-try, with seasoned rice and an incredibly fluffy omelette that adds delicate richness. The salad and miso soup on the sides are tasty, and the revamped side dishes now include more wasabi sauce, adding a nice touch. The restaurant itself is clean, comfortable, and has a welcoming atmosphere. The staff is exceptionally friendly and attentive, making the dining experience even better. Parking is convenient, though the small interior can get crowded during peak hours. Despite minor flaws like lukewarm miso soup, the dishes are enjoyable overall. Lucky Pig remains a solid choice for a unique culinary adventure in SoCal, especially for those craving delicious katsu. Arriving early is recommended to avoid the rush and enjoy the generous portions.
