| - This is my third time visiting Little Piggy's restaurant, and I had to make sure to try it more than once to place my review on it. The difference in the experience and hospitality of both attempts really questioned my ability to rate this restaurant. Nonetheless, this is what I think of it.
Little Piggy's is what I would consider as a slightly modernized KBBQ joint. From the decor to the food presentation, it is different from other KBBQ location you would find in K-town. The space is slightly more upscaled, with lengthy halls and dining tables that doubles as an inductive stove top, allowing the waiter to start the BBQ by simply placing the grill pan on the table. It definitely felt more modern and intuitive, which displays it's trendiness in an area that's dominated by traditional restaurants.
The BBQ is priced slightly aggressively, with one person possibly spending upwards of $30 in a group setting. The food, however, was delicious. The meat presented were of good quality, and did not seem heavily frozen or tainted of colour. The selection of BBQ bapsang (or side dishes) were plenty and expected. We ordered a selection of pork belly, bibimbap, beef flank, and an assortment of pancakes. The food tasted great with the selection of dipping sauce offered to each person in an lunch-looking tray.
However, the reason this restaurant could not achieve a higher rating was due to the inconsistency in service. Often times, food would be given to the incorrect person, water would not be filled, and fulfilling simple requests would be forgotten. Despite the fact that the restaurant was not completely full, it was difficult to justify the lack of service in this context.
Overall, Litte Piggy's restaurant is a great group restaurant that offers good quality food at a premium price. Just make sure you grab napkins from your nearest table instead of asking for some...
