| - I've sampled a lot of Korean barbecue in my day, but it's generally been of the all-you-can-eat variety. I was surprised, then, that Little Piggy's was charging all-you-can-eat prices but offering a limited amount of meat.
Nevertheless, we opted for the "Mix BBQ Combo" option, which comes with pork belly, garlic pork, and Korean-style beef.
In true Korean style, the meat arrived shortly after accompanied by a whole raft of oddball side dishes. We didn't receive any kind of explanation for what anything was, which was especially frustrating because there were a bunch of sides I'd never seen or tried before. (Including a tasty mushroom-oriented plate.)
We also weren't provided with any utensils, so I had to get up and ask for some from a nearby waiter. (We discovered later that utensils are actually contained in a drawer attached to the table, though again, we weren't told about this. I only figured it out by noticing somebody at a nearby table pulling out a drawer.)
Anyway, the meat was fine, I guess. The pork belly was tasty enough, although it contained a few overly fatty chunks that were basically inedible (ie they were super chewy). There was nothing on the table that was *bad* but nothing blew us away, either.
After we finished the meal, we naturally assumed we'd be presented with the bill. 45 minutes later it became clear I'd have to again get up, find a waiter, and ask for the cheque.
Though I wasn't terribly impressed by my meal at Little Piggy's, I will admit their non-barbecue options, which I saw people at other tables eating, looked pretty darn tasty. (And all those items are quite reasonably priced, too.)
