Our favorite happy hour in STL!! The HH food selection is amazing, with lots of veg/vegan options too! In fact, the vegan options were my favorite bites! The beet fries-- YES BEET FRIES-- were OUTSTANDING! Seriously, never EVER something I thought I would like, but here we are. I loved their texture the most, and the flavor was vibrant. When dipped in the goat cheese (obvs not vegan anymore lol), the combo was supreme. I want to order them again and again; they were addictive to eat. And then the General Tso's cauliflower bites! Omg SO GOOD! My second fave item. Light and crispy, not greasy, and the flavor was on point. We also tried: -the crispy brussel sprouts with miso and bacon-- a tad salty, but still delicious -the bulgolgi t-ravs, which were good and got eaten, but were a bit underwhelming compared to what they COULD have been. They were a bit light on filling, with not a-whole-lot of bulgolgi flavor coming through. However, I want to give 'em a second try because the idea sounds so delicious if executed properly. -Pork and shrimp dumplings, which were pan-seared crispy on one side, and soft on the other. Delish. Can all dumplings be made like that now? We paired our delicious food spread with some local $3 HH IPAs on draft SO good! We keep hearing good things about brunch, too, so we will be back for it!!

I don't know if this is just not my style of food or if they were having an off day, but it just did not do it for me. Why I gave it 2 stars is because the dips appetizer was average and the bottle of wine that we ordered was good. I would come back for a drink but probably not food.

Never a bad meal. Great selection of Korean- American fusion. A nice introduction to new tastes/ flavors. Great owner, great atmosphere and dining room has a great aesthetic.

First time in STL! This place is AWESOME. The brunch food is so yummy and vibe is very cozy rustic. My only note is the coffee to condensed milk ratio in the Vietnamese coffee makes it a bit too sweet for my tastes. I cant wait to come back for lunch/dinner.

I’ve been here before, and the food was great!! However, these days, this place has no regular hours. Google says it’s open, but I drove over there and it’s as dark as if it’s permanently closed. I went to the Mack, next door, and that’s when I found out that they’re not permanently closed, they just have weird, irregular hours. ?

This started out as a three star review, reduced to two after seeing the sludge leftovers, reduced to one after contemplating how disgusting this is.Pics are the Pho, which was oily to the point of being slimy (see pics). Would you want to eat this? No one would want to eat this. I’m not talking a thin crust of grease, the sludge was buried deep within the noodles.I’m not an expert of Vietnamese food, but I know that Pho is soup, not sludge. There were few herbs and vegetables offered as an accompaniment. The sprouts were limp and no basil. The limited cocktail menu hasn’t changed since pre-Covid, which is disappointing.Also, Chuck Berry was blaring out of the kitchen, which clashed with Ed Sheeran in the restaurant. And the small cocktail menu is the same as pre-Covid.I want to like the Copper Pig, really I do, but serious work needs to be done on the menus. Seems like a waste of an amazing Mackland venue. Right now, waiting to reserve a table at Russel’s for cocktails and cheesecake seems preferable to an easy table at the Copper Pig

Came for dinner on Trivia night and they had one server who was overwhelmed. There were only 3 tables when we arrived yet every single table got their food before we finally canceled our order an hour later and left to go next door for food. That’s when the bartender who was not helping the server came over to the bar we ended at to I guess do shots or whatever he was doing while his restaurant was failing. Maybe don’t have trivia night to bring business you can’t serve? I tried to be empathetic as possible as I am industry, but this was bad management.

Horrible customer service. Waited over an hour for food that never showed up. Eventually left paying for a drink and an appetizer. In that hour, waitress came to the table maybe two times. She forgot my drink refill, then returned after being reminded about it.

First time here. We had the rav app and the cheese app for starters, she had a burrito and I had the shrimp pad Thai . All of it was great. Owner talked with us on the way out , he was super nice. We can can’t wait to go back
Horrible service and food. Food tasted bland and staff was rude. Save your money and time and go to russels next door.

I was very pleased with the service, and we both highly recommend it, the food was very good, loving the neighborhood and the unique places to eat in the neighborhood , locally owned, as we call it city living since we moved here in the city, since October 2020 and been going to to locally owned restaurants, loving this saying "City Living"

Hugely disappointed. We ordered the bulgogi bowl and the ramen soup and both were flavorless and dull. Later that night, we both woke up around 4 feeling super sick which we feel was the food because we had nothing else. On the drink end, it was okay but nothing you can't find elsewhere. Only reason I listed 2 stars is because the service was decent and their aesthetic was nice.

Delicious brunch. Great atmosphere. Great service.

New to town and walked by here recently and thought great vibe and look. Menu made me more excited. But the experience, average. Food had potential but the flavors did not come together. 4 of us had 8 drinks, 2 appetizers and 4 entrees, and all were just ok. Bulgogi T Rav dry with little flavor. Gen Tso Cauliflour our favorite. Bahn mi tacos good, bi bim bap bowl lacked flavor and pork belly reuben disappointing. Service was good and atmosphere nice but with so many good restaurants in town, we won't be back.
