We’ve been coming to Honey Pig Korean BBQ for over six months now—sometimes even a few times a week—and it’s become one of our favorite spots. The food is consistently delicious, and you can always count on the quality being top-notch.
They have a big selection of different cuts but it is typically beef, pork or chicken. We typically go for the beef brisket and short ribs, which are always cooked to perfection. The seasoning is spot-on, with just the right balance of savory and smoky flavors. You can really taste the care they put into selecting high-quality meats and ingredients, which sets Honey Pig apart from other BBQ places.
The meats are always super fresh and flavorful. The brisket is tender, and the short ribs are packed with that perfect mix of sweet and savory. Another thing that sets the Honey Pig apart is how they prepare and cook the meats. Depending on what you order, they use different grills and even different fire types to make sure every cut is grilled to perfection. For the galbi (Korean Short Ribs), you will get a bit of char and smokiness from preparation and fire they use to cook it.
There is also unlimited sides. They’re all seasoned to perfection, from the kimchi to the bean sprout, but our favorite is the cucumber and the fishcake. They also give you egg souffle and tofu soup, which my kids love. We don't even have to feed our kids when we come here because they love the food (both meat and sides) so much that they feed themselves.
If you’re expecting all-you-can-eat, this isn’t that type of spot. We've been to all the All-You-Can-Eat places (Handam, Jin, Gen, etc.) and those are taste great when they first open, but you can quickly see the quality and flavor drop significantly the next visit.
Honey Pig is more about flavor and quality, much like the KBBQ you’d find in K-Town LA or NYC (from places like Kangho Baekjeong). The price reflects the quality, and it’s well worth it.
They are also very attentive to us and our kids. They will cook the short ribs at another table, for example. They even give our kids balloons and lollipops and our kids look forward to eating here every time we mention it.
If you’re craving high-quality Korean BBQ with amazing flavor, you can’t go wrong...
Read moreThis is my first time to have tried Honey Pig at the Katy location. I’ve tried the one at Bellaire, Tx. I liked the Bellaire location more than the one in Katy as the meat, japchae and cheesy corn were tastier and the meat were well marinated. There were waiters and waitresses that were much more respectul that the others and it was not consistent amongst the staff. When it came to bill, the waitress asked me why I tipped less. It came down to my experience: it wasn’t at par what I expected and customer respect is not the same accross. Some serves seemed to be annoyed that the rest if I had asked to repeat certain sentences. My friend asked if she can do to-go and the waiter snapped back : “what do you mean to go??” Instead of offering selections and or options. I had a waitress ask why I had not selected the options given for tipping and instead checked a custom tip, I felt disrespected. She told me the manager wanted to know and I simply don’t want to give her my review in front of many people as it was disrespectful. I just simply nonchalantly said none. I told her that it would be better to have a survey code that we can answer such questions and she told me that it would be too costly to adapt to such system.
To Honey Pig Katy, Tx: if you want feedback from your customers, please do it at a manner that is appropriate such a survey form or a barcode. Some customer’s don’t appreciate direct answers and I didn’t like the answer that your staff gave me. Had I not been with my friends and ruin the night, I would probably talk to the manager about it. I am disappointed and disheartened. I was looking for another good experience but it kinda ruined my night and...
Read moreOne of the worst Korean BBQ restaurants I have EVER went to. I love eating Korean BBQ but this has to be one of the worst experiences ever. Walked in with my family at 2:00 and was sat down immediately which is a good thing, however the server didn't greet or speak to us at all and probably only said "table for how many." The price of food here is extremely expensive for its quality and especially its quantity. We ordered Kalibi beef, tofu soup, and beef rib. The kalibi beef was over seasoned and the portion was tiny for $27. Tofu soup was on the opposite side, extremely bland, however the soup did taste good just under-seasoned. The beef rib portion was tiny and extremely under-seasoned for $28, however it was supposed to be under seasoned because they are supposed to give you sauce, which they completely forgot to give us. The sides they give you are mediocre compared to other Korean bbq places in Houston, absolutely no variety and very little sides like you're being rationed. About the service, the waiters/waitresses are supposed to cook your meat, however they just didn't feel like cooking, especially our server. A waiter came to help cook our food a total of one time, we had to cook our own food and basically serve ourselves. If you are willing to spend a hefty amount of money at this place, I would recommend you turn around and leave and go to another places such as Bori (most expensive but most tasty), Handam BBQ (cheaper but much better service and...
