Honey Pig Restaurant

So I don't live in MD, but I'm visiting a friend and we stopped at Honey Pig last night. This place is hands down one of my favorites and I would gladly drive the 3 hours from home to come here. The interior has an industrial feel, but with Kpop music and videos playing on the tvs. The staff is attentive and friendly, creating an overall lovely atmosphere for just dining and chatting with friends. The round metal tables sit at the perfect height for a wheelchair to access, though one will need help reaching things at the center of the table as the food is cooked there. We ordered the Bulgogi, Hawaiian bulgogi, Spicy pork belly, and Hawaiian pork belly, and they didn't disappoint in the slightest! They bring you several side dishes (banchan) that are included with any meal, as well as a salad and we ate those up pretty quickly. They also brought a soup and a fluffy egg dish that we split, which again were amazing. We've made this trip a yearly event, and it really needs to be more often than that. My only complaint is that we don't have a Honey Pig near me back home! But hey... a 3 hour drive is a lot better than the 6 hours we drove for all you can eat crab!

Excellent service from the moment you sit down with everything cooked in front of you. Bulgolgi and dumplings were especially delicious but everything was fantastic!

Our visit was on a busy Friday night so noise levels and wait times are expected to be different. Price is by food so it's always best to have multiple people to split the bill!! Aside from the 4 meats we got, we also ordered a seafood pancake, ddeoboki, and some soju. Total was just under $200 so divided by 4 people, $50 per person which was good for the amount of food we got. As always their food is great, we got the small intestines, pork belly, brisket, and bulgogi. As a free service, we got the steamed egg and soybean stew (ddwenjang jigae). Only complaint I had was that one of our servers (older female) was rude and condescending to someone in my group and myself. She was upset that when we ordered we spoke "too fast." We spoke quite slow and pointed at the pictures as well. She didn't have a note pad and honestly looked like she zoned out. She scolded my friend in Korean (we had been communicating in Korean the whole time too) and made her uncomfortable. She was scared to make any other orders that night. When the same server came back to check on our meat, I was dancing happily to the kpop music (the TV was right behind me). She then scolded me and was laughing saying "back in our day we couldn't do such a thing" and told me to sit still and eat. Honestly most of our time was eating while hoping to avoid her coming to our table. Fortunately it was such a busy night we had another female server come intermittently. She was a super kind lady who we looked forward to seeing as she was not at all condescending and quite sweet with us. We loved her. I almost never have an issue with honey pig or their employees but goodness did this lady make the experience awful. We legit tiptoed around her mood despite us being civilized and polite. I realized she scared us all when the loud busy establishment felt quiet as she spoke to us. Turns out my whole table froze immediately during conversation and she popped up to flip the meat, fortunately it was quick and she didn't say anything to us. It was absolutely ridiculous how nervous we were around her. Anyways, I wouldn't take this one experience and replace it with all the good ones as the food, atmosphere, and overall service is still amazing.

Grill BBQ Korean Restaurant offers an excellent Korean BBQ experience from start to finish. The quality of the meat is outstanding—fresh, tender, and full of flavor—and the marinades are perfectly balanced. The variety of banchan (side dishes) is impressive, with each one tasting fresh and thoughtfully prepared. The restaurant has a warm, clean, and energetic atmosphere that makes it a great spot for both family meals and group gatherings. The staff is attentive and friendly, checking in often and helping with grilling when needed, which makes the experience enjoyable even for first-time Korean BBQ diners. Portions are generous, prices are reasonable for the quality, and everything is served promptly. Overall, Grill BBQ Korean Restaurant consistently delivers delicious food, great service, and a fun dining experience. Definitely a place worth coming back to.

We ordered the basics like brisket & pork belly. Those tasted normal, not bad but also not the highest quality meat. The sides were good including the soup, eggs, etc. Service was not too great as it was quite busy and they seemed understaffed. The hostess couldn’t be at the counter half the time because they were also busy helping with waiting tables. We had 2 waitresses helping us, our original one was sweet and just trying to do her job while juggling all her other tables. But the second one assisting her was rude at times. We weren’t sure if the steamed egg side was included in our order so we asked her if she knew if it was coming. She responded by pointing at the other tables and raised her voice saying, "do you see how many tables we have??" We were only trying to ask because we didn’t know and we weren’t trying to rush her either. It felt like she took out her anger on us as customers because they couldn’t handle the capacity. Other than her, the others were just trying their best. We just ate and got out of there pretty quickly since the environment was pretty chaotic and they couldn’t wait on us much.

Great Korean BBQ selection! Neat selections are cooked ar your table on a grill. You cant either cook the meat yourself or the staff will cook it for you. They also serve a bunch of cool drinks- including multiple flavors of soju! I will continue going to this restaurant. I recommend it for a fun date night place as well! Everyone should try this place at least once!

I really enjoyed myself. Ryan and Howard were so great they were funny and answered all our questions. They showed us new ways to cook on the grill and they were very attentive. If you are thinking about trying honey pig. Do it.
