| - In the Land of Pig and Honey.
In one word: Uneven.
I brought a friend who lives close by China Town and promised an adventure. For the most part, Honey Pig delivered - albeit a bit of a so-so one.
The place has been recommended to me by two separate friends. I had fairly lofty expectations. As you pull into the parking lot, trash flanks the place. As my companion commented, it looked like fairly consistent trash. Not something that just blew in with the day's breeze, something that had remained.
When we first arrived inside, the server (who I must say did a fine job manning the place all by herself - 10 tables) offered us a seat at a table that had a random used salad bowl and empty can of Coke sitting on it. Me and my friend stared at the odd arraignment, but the server never acknowledged them. They remained... almost like a centerpiece to our table until fifteen or so minutes into our experience when the server finally took them away unexplained.
The food was good - Korean BBQ fair. We ordered one of the combo's for two people, which came with two types of beef, fried rice, salad, soup, and bean sprouts and kimchi. The strange part came in the order - salad and meat first, then kimchi and bean sprouts, and then soup, and then finally fried rice. It was an odd arraignment but overall decent.
The pricing also seemed a little off. It was around $45 for the two of us for lunch. Its not too high, but I guess when most of the cooking is done yourself and you do a whole lot of waiting, the financials seemed a bit steep.
Would I take the adventure again? Most definitely. But I'd probably choose a table on my own without the strange centerpiece.
