After randomly finding a review for the Golden Pig online my girlfriend and I decided to check it out since it sounded incredible and was only about 20 minutes away.
The Golden Pig is a Korean restaurant tucked away in a small town called Cecil, PA and is owned and operated by one incredibly nice woman.
I wasn't sure what to expect until I opened the door and was greeted by Yong and sat down at a "bar" area that overlooked her small kitchen. The seating is limited and I think she likes it that way. Everything is literally made to order and most orders are called in, whereupon Yong gives you a time frame (depending on the queue) and you pick your food up accordingly. We decided to dine in and sat at the bar and talked to Yong while she prepared our meal and while we ate. She's incredibly personable and truly has captured something special in such an unassuming place. I had short ribs and my girlfriend had the vegetarian ramen, both were of course great. Along with our food she cooked a few side items and had us try them and everything was delicious. Eating at the Golden Pig is like having your mom cook you a warm, tasty, and healthy meal.
We will DEFINITELY be frequenting the Golden Pig in the future, the food and the atmosphere is fantastic and is a diamond in the rough for the area.
If you're reading this, take a drive over to the Golden Pig or order some food for takeout, through our conversation with Young we found out that she had just opened the restaurant two months prior and is already getting a nice customer base through word of mouth.
