Overpriced and disappointing. A plate of beef and a portion of beef intestines cost $110, which is ridiculous. The beef intestines had a terrible texture, and the lettuce for wrapping the meat had pinkish roots, looking old and unappetizing. Not worth it at all. Wouldn’t recommend!!!!

The meat quality is very poor.
It's too tough and there's too much oil.
I don't think I'll ever go again
The service was very good....

This is more like a 3.5 ⭐. Not enough servers, the food portion and quality is okay, free samplers, not really a BBQ, more like pan fry. Rather cheap set up. 6 of us $500, including a pitcher of draft and a Bootle of Seng Mak. Not cheap but we had a good time.

The food was delicious, but the service was very poor..
I ordered pork belly with a pot lid, but they put it on the regular grill by mistake, so I had to wait another 10 minutes. That was the mistake of the server in training, but even so, they put it on the meat tray and didn't come, so we waited, and we just put it all on, and they didn't even check while we were eating.. Lastly, I ordered cold noodles, but they didn't come out for over 20 minutes, so I tried to cancel, but they came out right away, so I reluctantly ate it, but the service was so bad that I don't want to go back.

So unfortunate.
This place was once upon a time on the top of my list of authentic Korean food. In its previous iteration prior to the fire I felt I was transported to Korea when I walked in the door. Great food and vibe.
I do not know the circumstances but they clearly have cut corners on the reopening. Interior is haphazard and certainly not giving Korean vibes.
Most important the food is very disappointing. Nowhere near the level they used to serve.
I reiterate I am sad. This was a restaurant I used to proudly introduce my non Korean friends to my food.

Finally came here after they reopened from the fire accident. The menu here is mainly in Korean and slight English. I had to use a translate app to tell me what was what especially for the combo. We ordered a combo for 4 and it has both beef and pork in the combo and 4 marshmallows. We also ordered an octopus pancake on the side. The tables are nicely spaced out and each table has a button to call for staff. They come with a good selection of sides (banchans).

Overall very disappointed visit. I have visited this place before the fire and had good memories of it in the past. We visited 2 Sundays ago for dinner with group of 7 people. Called before to make reservations and was not told we would be in separate tables. There is no big table to accommodate more than 5 people. When we asked why it was not told us during the reservation we were told stright to the face I should have asked myself. That was a very rude way to speak to a customer. That was just the beginning we still sat down on the two side by side table with about arm length distance and thinking if the food is right not a big deal. Then it came to the most disappointing part of our dinner that night. We wanted to order beef intestine and was told it was sold out the night before. I found it to be little bit unbelievable for an restaurant to not restock for Sunday. Then we ordered seafood pancake which was suppose to be with a whole octopus but again was told no more octopus had to be substitute with squid, but price was not adjusted. Those were the only 2 things we wanted to try. Anyways still decided to eat here. The deco is nice but the whole restaurant felt really cold we all had to ware our coats even with the BBQ grill just in front of us. Service was next to none because there were only 2 people serving for the entire restaurant. Because we were seperately seated I asked for one of the dishes to be put in 2 plate so we can share. Was told can't do that. That kinda shock me as it was a really simple request. Anyways I don't think I will come back to this place again .

This was my first visit since the fire, and I thought the interior had been renovated, but it didn't have an antique feel, the overall interior atmosphere wasn't clean, and one of the two employees wasn't friendly. The food taste is average.
I've visited in the past, but I think the business owner needs some training because of the employees' insincere attitude towards customers.

I’m writing this to save your day because honestly, no one deserves the experience I had at Piggy’s. Just don’t go. Seriously. Let me tell you straight: most of those 2,000 reviews are from before this restaurant’s renovation. The place has changed, and not for the better.
The food was so bad that I don’t even remember if the service was good—it’s irrelevant at this point. They kept turning the grill down, probably to save on gas bills or something, and the meat just sat there losing all its juices. By the time it was done, it was dry, flavorless, and honestly depressing. This was supposed to be Korean BBQ, but it was the worst BBQ experience I’ve ever had.
And don’t even get me started on their so-called “14-day aged meat.” Who are they trying to fool? 😂 Just be honest with your customers instead of writing nonsense on the menu.
As I was looking at other reviews after my visit, I couldn’t help but notice how the owner’s replies to negative feedback are so generic and bot-like. It’s like they don’t actually care, which makes the whole experience even worse.
Just save yourself the time, money, and disappointment. You’ve been warned.
Pretty darn good pork BBQ.
Severs were really nice to us.
Prices were typical for Korean BBQ
Side dishes were good and plentiful.
I will be back.

Fun atmosphere and great food! Would recommend.
Hood fan wasn't working well to remove the charcoal smoke. Service seemed understaffed so it was slow.
