We came down with a bout of a stomach bug earlier this week, Tuesday morning and Tuesday afternoon for each of us. It came and went lickity split. Without going into the details, let’s just say I lost some weight in a bad way. At first, I thought I made us sick with bad food served Monday evening. Now we learned it may have been from hanging out with nieces during our Non-Thanksgiving Thanksgiving dinner because other family members there also got the same symptoms. By yesterday though, we were well and I was so hungry last night we went out for some Korean at Honey Pig.
It was pretty tasty and less expensive than your typical Korean restaurant. The hot soondubu hit the spot on a cold evening and it had been a while since we’ve gone out for a dinner date on a weeknight so I especially relished it. I noticed that the restaurant filled up more as the evening wore on. When we arrived at 7ish there were empty tables. By the time we left at 8:30 there were people waiting by the door. Don’t they have work tomorrow!? The ambience has sort of an Asian street food feel to it. Service was pretty decent. They cook the grill for you. I’d recommend ordering some kind of soup to tide you over while you wait for the food to cook. The only one minor gripe is I wish they would’ve filled our water more seeing as how the food can be pretty spicy and salty. I’d go back though and I’d take friends there.
Honey Pig is the best. Gotta get that L.A. Galbi and regular Galbi. It’s all about those 4am trips after drinking a bit and blasting some karaoke in Koreatown. You used to be able to catch me at Honey Pig every weekend lol. Sometimes they give out free steamed egg and jigae too.
