| - Terrible experience! My family and I visited the Honey Pig location on Spring Mountain once and weren't impressed. I was craving Korean bbq one night and didn't wanna drive far. So, I thought I'd give this location a shot. Never again!
There were 5 in our party- 4 adults and 1 child. All other Korean bbq places I've been to serve enough food for the table. We initially put in an order of brisket and short ribs for the table to start. They literally brought us ONE serving of brisket... one serving. Barely enough to to feed the child. Unlike other Korean bbq, the server cooks the food, not the guests. They put the 10 thinly sliced pieces of brisket on the burner, left the tongs out of our reach, and took forever to come back. Our food started to burn, so we stood up to grab the tongs and cook it ourselves. We each had 1-2 pieces of brisket. We sat staring and waiting in hunger waiting for more. The short Ribs came. It was 2 4-5 inch long pieces. We realized we had to order by servings at this point. So, we ordered 5 more servings of brisket, more short ribs, 5 servings of shrimp, and other stuff. The server looked at us surprised saying, "5 serving of brisket?! Like a lot?" Us- "yes. A lot. 5 of the plates you brought earlier." Again, the 2 short ribs cooking and about to burn, so we cooked em ourselves. Took at least 15min for them to bring another platter of brisket. Literally 20 pieces. While waiting, we watched them bring heaps of food, including brisket, to customers that came after us. After finishing off the little food they brought so far, we reminded them that we were still waiting for our 5 orders of shrimp, and we tried to order more brisket. We repeated this last request 5 more times, because they never brought the shrimp or brisket. Fially, the shrimp came. Exactly 5 small barely 2 inch pieces of shrimp. After being there nearly 2hrs, (between the 5 of us to share) we were served 3 servings of brisket, 2 maybe 5 inch pieces of short rib, 2 slices of pork belly, and 5 shrimp.
Although it is all you can eat, they tallied our orders on the receipt, which showed that that gave us 7 order of shrimp, 10 orders of brisket, 2 orders each of short rib and pork belly.
The restaurant was less than half full. Others who came after us were served first and seemed to have quicker service and more food.
I will continue to avoid Honey Pig. Much more worth it to drive to a place that does it right.
