4.5 Stars: First visit and likely to return because the restaurant is comfortable (unlike our other usual Korean haunts), food is pretty good and service is prompt.
Came on a Friday right in the middle of lunch hour, but there was no wait and we got a booth seat.. yay! Extensive menu had photos so we could still make good decisions even though we are not familiar with names of the Korean dishes.
Service staff came at the push of a button and we ordered 2 soups + dumplings + UFO Rice with beef. Large variety of Banchan kept us happy till our order arrived. Kids appreciated the pancake amongst the Banchan since they don't eat spicy foods. I like that they gave us a pot of tea and a bottle of chilled water so we didn't have to flag the staff for refills.
My first time having Mook Eun Gi Gam Ja Tang - spice level was good, lots of meat, cabbage was sourish. Hubby's Friday Special Ugeoji-Gal Bi Tang was ok (very low heat level compared to my dish) and Hubby enjoyed my pork over his beef.
Kids finished the dumplings fast. I managed to steal a bite ~ tasted pretty good with the sauce they served (containing minced green chillies). UFO Rice took a looong time to come out but it tasted very good. Only problem was it came without cheese even though we didn't request that ~ they must've mixed up our order with someone else's.
There was no wait for the bill and they honoured the 10% off when I showed them a photo of their sign. Oh yeah!
Verdict: We still think the dumplings from the RH Myungdong Kalkatsu trump Piggy's dumplings, and we do live closer to the RH Owl of Minerva. But we'll try to come back to Piggy's more often because the restaurant is a whole lot more comfortable and their menu more extensive.
