Honey Pig


Honey Pig is a Korean barbecue in Annandale, Virginia. It is also the best 24 hour restaurant I've been to. The atmosphere is fun, and not at all fancy - you can find all sorts of people of all ages and occupations there, hungry for meat grilled right in front of you with complimentary side dishes, including a pot of hot soup. When you go to a Korean restaurant, it's a good sign if you see Koreans dining there, and at Honey Pig, you'll see a good mix of Koreans and non-Koreans. I've taken my parents there, and my parents always say things like, "back in Korea, this would be spicier and not as sweet" or "I could make this better." At Honey Pig, all I heard was the sound of chewing and "oh wow, that's so good." I found that the best time to go is very late at night, as that's when it's not as busy, meaning better service, and it also provides excellent people watching, as night owls and after-clubbers come in for nourishment. They also have alcoholic beverages -beer and soju (their selection is pretty decent). If you're craving some good Korean food, or never had Korean barbecue before, you need to check it out!! I suggest the thick cut pork belly with kimchi special or the spicy chicken cheol-pan. Make sure you're hungry when you go! Tasty tasty!!!!!
