Recently decided to try Honey Pig in college part after learning they had bowls to take out for lunch. I decided to walk over from campus and order two different bowls to try one with beef bulgolgi another with spicy pork. I enjoyed both and felt like they were a hearty serving, definitely more than I expected for the lunch special. Service was great, friendly and pretty fast. The ambiance reminded me of a typical Honey Pig KBBQ feel just with a comfier waiting area with some reclining chairs, rocking chairs and couches. If you enjoy Honey pig flavors you'll definitely enjoy the bowl lunch options for a quick take away option! read more

I arrived on a Saturday evening on a day that University of Maryland had a game. So I expected that there would be a bit of a wait. When we checked in with the hostess, she said 20 minutes and I was surprised and happy. We were hungry. That 20 minutes past and then another 20 minutes passed before the hostess finally told us our table was ready. The place was packed. We were at table 22 which is in the front. Shortly, after being seated, I noticed there was a leak in the ceiling dripping onto the floor behind me. It didn't hit me. We waited, and waited, and waited for a server to come to our table. We informed another server that we didn't have one and she said she would go look into it. She didn't. At about 30 minutes we were trying to decide if we should leave, but I decided to go find the hostess and inform her that we did not have a server. 5 minutes later Tim showed up and apologized and took our order. I also informed him of the leak. He asked if I was getting wet I said no, but they should do something. They didn't put a bucket down. They didn't offer us another table. I ordered water. Tim brought a carafe of water and drinks for the other people, but never brought me a cup so we had to find him again and ask for a cup. When the robot arrived with our food, it went to the wrong table. It went to the table next to us, which was empty. Our food finally started to come, and our hot plate was placed. We asked for additional sides and when Tim arrive to check on us we had to inform him that the sides had not arrived. About 3/4 of the way into our meal, another family came in and sat at the table next to us. They were IMMEDIATELY greeted, set up and had their order taken. Also, when the place is full, it's loud. If you are noise sensitive, make sure you have your noise canceling headset. I've been to a few Korean barbecue places and I would say the food here is average. It wasn't awful. It wasn't phenomenal, but it wasn't good enough to make me want to go back. read more

I've tried many Korean BBQ spots in the DMV area so I already had an idea of what to expect. I decided to host my daughter's birthday dinner here. They were able to accommodate a large party of about 18 people but it would've been nice if we had more than one waiter to help out. Most of the party ordered the unlimited option A which worked out for us. The food was good, the atmosphere was nice and they were playing the World Cup games, however, the service was slow at times. The price was decent but I am not a fan of the way kids prices are determined. It's not by age like other places I've been but it's done by height. Even the smallest child I know didn't qualify so most of the kids were charged adult pricing. Please note: this is located in a shopping center with plenty of parking but spots can fill up quickly. You also must scan to pay for the parking. read more

Honey Pig - Wall decor - Barbeque Near Me - College Park, Maryland

Love the interior of the restaurant, reminds me of a typical BBQ restaurant you would see in Korea. Service was great, they give you a lottt of portions which I appreciated! 물냉면 Nagmyeon was just OK, I probably would not get again however. The broth of the soup is a bit flavorless. Meat was good! Delicious, but I think it could have more juice in its flavor. Side dishes 반찬 were good. Overall, enjoyed the experience. Nice place to consider for some KBBQ in Virginia! read more

Honey Pig - Buckwheat Noodle in Cold Broth / 물냉면 - Barbeque Near Me - College Park, Maryland

This was my first time trying this type of restaurant. I must say, cooking my own meat at a restaurant will take some getting used to but overall, I enjoyed the experience. I think $38.99 is a fair price for all you can eat. I like that the portions are small so too much is not wasted. This was also my first encounter with the delivery robot. That was cool. I don't like that it has other people's food on it though. I was sitting close to the kitchen so my food didn't have to travel too far but, I wouldn't want my food traveling across the room and making stops at multiple tables before getting to me. I'm from the South and I need a bit of flavor so I did add Salt and Pepper to the items while cooking. The salad dressing had no flavor. I ended up using the yum yum sauce as a dressing. The dumplings were good. The cucumber salad was also good. My favorite hot item was the steak and shrimp. The brisket was mostly fat and the thin pork belly was like Prosciutto. My only suggesting is serving the noodles closer to when the hot items are ready. They get stiff if they just sit. Oh, and I think you need separate tongs for seafood, pork, chicken, and beef. I was worried about cross contaminating. I'd try this again. read more

We went for dinner around 6:00 pm on a Sunday with a party of 10. We were split between two tables, but honestly, service never skipped a beat. We waited briefly to be seated, but that was only because a few people from our group were late. Once we were in, everything moved smoothly. We did AYCE Option B ($36.99), and it was 100% worth it. The extra steak options alone justify the price. Meats highlights: Spicy pork belly - this is the reason I come to Korean BBQ. My favorite every single time. If you're unsure what to get, start here. Spicy pork bulgogi - the surprise of the night. Big flavor, great spice, and the thin cut of pork really held up to the marinade. If you're ordering bulgogi, this is the one. LA Galbi - excellent, flavorful, and absolutely worth upgrading for. Beef hanging tender - smaller cuts that took seasoning really well. A little sesame oil, salt, garlic sauce... chef's kiss. Steak - lean, but not my favorite. Even with seasoning, it could use something to help break down the connective tissue. Hawaiian beef bulgogi - fine, but there are better options on the menu. Spicy octopus - this one's on me. We didn't cook it well, and by the time it came up to temp, most of the flavor had run into the drip tray. I like a good char and caramelized sugars, which didn't happen this time--but I'd try it again. Sides were on point: kimchi, steamed eggs, stir-fried fish cakes, cucumber salad, pickled radish, japchae, fried dumplings, and seafood pancake. The fish cakes are still my favorite--I honestly don't even know what they are, but I get them every time. Kimchi and cucumber salad never miss either. Drinks were solid too--Sapporo beer and peach-flavored rice wine, both did what they were supposed to do. Service really stood out. Our servers were on it--grill was changed twice, drip tray about three times, and they were proactive without hovering. They worked as a team, made sure food kept coming, and even reorganized plates when things got crowded. Ventilation was great too--the vent drops right over the grill, so smoke was never an issue. The space was surprisingly not packed, noise level was moderate, and everything was clean. Seating worked well for a large group. Parking is pay-to-park since it's right next to the UMD campus, but it was easy. We paid on our phones inside the restaurant, though there's also a kiosk outside. I like this location slightly more than Ellicott City because you're more hands-on with the cooking, which adds to the experience for me. Would I come back? Absolutely. If this Honey Pig existed when I lived in College Park, I probably never would've left. read more

I've been to quite a few of these Korean BBQ spots around the DMV area so I have something to base my opinion off of. Honey Pig just became apart of the College Park area. On a mid-week evening I decided to take my foodie talents here because why not! Parking is tough, it's a college town and well it's always busy, get ready to download another app and pay 5-8$ for parking. (I'm old enough to remember when parking was FREE.) The set up is giving CUTE! The service was fantastic! Now in my humble opinion, the food was just okay. I didn't like it at all and ate just a little of everything to taste it. I won't get into it because it just wasn't good to me. The shrimp was the only thing I did like and I've definitely had better experiences at other Korean BBQ spots. Don't get me wrong, it's edible but my bougie palate didn't not approve. There are literally hundreds of these places, I'll definitely try them all just not this one again. Should you come try? Yes! Absolutely! Definitely worthy of a try! read more

HP is so dear to my heart cuz Back in the days my hubs and I would come to a HP (Virginia one or Germantown) for date nights or when he returned from a long work trip... back then food was so so but the vibes were always on point.. We had the chance to meet Mikey Kim. Now they are in CP and mannnn everything is 1000% better. The Banchan is very tasty! The egg souffle and kimchee are my favorite. The meat qualities and service is so much better than Iron Age, and KPOT... yeah I said it... Besides, I love KPOP... I teach KPOP dance on the side sooo watching the latest KPOP videos while im chowing down on good food is a win win.. I love the little robot ... it reminds me of Rosie from the Jetsons lol... Anyways the service is great.. I wished that they never left Germantown location... Maybe they can come back to MOCO... the Old Outback steakhouse is still empty... just saying.. (: read more

Love love love. Did I say love? You just need to come here. They have 2 options for AYCE and option B is the best of course. Come hungry! I love how they have comfy sofas for you to wait for the rest foe your party to show up. It's a fun spot, friendly for couples, groups, or even on your own! From the appetizers, you gotta try the fried dumplings, seafood pancake, corn cheese, steamed egg, fish cake, japchae, and all the pickled items. Actually, just get 1 of everything! The honey pig sauce is my #1 although their yum yum sauce is much improved and don't forget the simple sesame oil with salt or the ssamjang. Other kbbq spots have tried to make their own HP sauce but it's just not the same. Be prepared to cook for yourself although it is kinda fun and communal. Our favorite meats are the hanger steak, beef brisket, bulgogi, and thinly sliced pork belly. Honorable mention is the spicy pork bulgogi. The shrimp was tasty but you do have to get your hands dirty FYI. Our server, Ben, was amazing! He kept the food coming! I'm so full right now and still eating as I type this. Come visit soon, you won't be disappointed! read more

Had an amazing time here! The all-you-can-eat for $30 is a fantastic deal given the huge variety of options available. Every cut of meat we tried was delicious, and the food quality is top-notch. The service was excellent--the waiters and staff were incredibly friendly and attentive throughout our meal. It has a warm, inviting ambiance that makes it a great spot for a gathering with friends. While the music is mostly K-pop (which isn't personally my favorite), the overall vibe and food more than make up for it. Highly recommend this place if you're looking for a solid AYCE spot! read more

I've been a fan of Korean cuisine since way before it became cool, but somehow managed to skip the OG kbbq chain, maybe due to the tepid reviews. But when they opened a store in College Park with AYCE, that knocked down some hurdles, so I gritted my teeth and braved the congestion on a Sunday when the voracious parking enforcement takes a day off to pray instead of prey. The store is located in the old open shopping center, across Route 1 from Ledo's. Fairly small for a kbbq joint, dark walls, TVs galore playing kpop, but at a moderate volume. Hoods over the grill at each table, so you won't go home smelling of kbbq (not that's necessarily a bad thing). Several differences from many such places: no tablet, order from your server. No sauce bar, 3 are on the table and others may be ordered. Many sides that are often upcharges are included, for instance pancakes and steamed eggs. You also have to order bahn chan from the server, and delivery is quick and cordial. Meats are still ordered from the server, but delivered by a robot. Take them off the tray, and tap the button to send it home. The good: solid kimchi, buckwheat noodles, and pickled radish. Barrel stool seats are a lot more comfortable than they look. Service is quick and cordial. I will note that they never offered to change the grill. The Bad: the Meats just didn't have much flavor. Of course, I've been spoiled by upscale places like Chadol. Tables are small. My solo selections filled 2/3 of a 4-top. The Ugly: bulgogi was poorly cut, I had to use the shears. Thick pork belly had a lot of gristle. Spicy pork belly, which should be meat candy, was blah. This place is clearly dumbed down for the student market. It might be a suitable first stop on a Korean style pub crawl, like the unlamented MeatUp. I wouldn't return just for the food. Merely OK. read more

I'm thankful I made a reservation because this place was PACKED. I strongly recommend everyone looking to come here on a weekend does their due diligence and reserves a spot for the night. The restaurant is experimenting with later hours going until 12am, instead of 11 like it says on the website, which is awesome. The experience is more hands off by the staff and that allows you to have more control of the cooking and prepping process. I found the service to be attentive and quick when needed, and the food to be delicious and portioned well. There are two menus to choose from, with one being priced at $32 and the other for $40. The differences are the quantities and qualities of meats and whether or not they are marinated for long periods of time. Aside from the college atmosphere due to the proximity to the university of Maryland, the HoneyPig has a rich and exotic vibe and decorum. Highly recommend. read more

I LOVE THIS PLACE. Their portions are great and the food is exploding with flavor. Our server, Ari was very friendly and kind and provided fast and efficient service. Although the hosts aren't the kindest, everything else about this place was great. Just great food and vibes. :) read more

After a Demon Slayer movie night, this hot pot spot turned into the perfect casual date-night choice. Late-night eats? . All-you-can-eat hot pot heaven? . Endless K-pop playlist in the background? Double . The energy here fits its location right on a college campus--lively, social, and a bit chaotic in the best way. Heads up though: wait times on weekends can get LONG (not surprising with AYCE pricing + hungry students). Plan ahead or come with patience. The staff made the night extra fun--my date ended up in a full-on anime conversation with them while I happily loaded up my hot pot. Even though they were out of the soju flavor we wanted, the food itself more than made up for it. Every plate that hit the table was fresh, flavorful, and had us wishing we could take it all home (spoiler: you can't, it's AYCE, so eat up while you can!). Casual, delicious, and full of personality--this is the kind of spot that turns an average night into a memory. read more

So excited to have another kbbq place in College Park campus! Meat quality is good - super fresh beef and delicious!! Love the sauce options. Love how it's no tip too that makes me a broke college student very happy. Wish the service was a bit faster. We learned to get over this by just ordering bunch of meats earlier beforehand. Vibes are super good too like a pocha. Fun to go with friends and enjoy kpop and drinks and food! Also seats open up into storage!! Also take use of the aprons hung on the side :) Also fun tip!! Order the tteokbokki (AYCE) and grill the rice cake with cheese on top it's so yummy and crispy :)) BTW parking lowkey sucks because you have to pay. Otherwise you might get ticketed!! read more

The food was good. It's been a while since I've been to one of their locations. Overall, it's still good food, and the atmosphere is the same. The robot server helps make the service feel unique. The transition to the AYCE menu is a good thing, in my opinion. So give it a try, grill up your own servings, and enjoy the company you have. Remember you're going to smell like you ate BBQ. read more

Despite what I was expecting based on the rave reviews, I was underwhelmed. I found the table and crowded despite their only being two of us. It was also very smokey after the first time that we used the grill. As far as the food, it needed seasoning of, at the very least, salt and pepper. Sauces do not replace basic seasoning to enhance flavors. On the plus side, the robots were cool and the food came out quickly. Pro Tip: I dined on a Sunday and I noticed that the menu was for Friday- Sunday and holidays. I'd suggest first trying it during the week when it's cheaper. read more

Huge place did not expect it to have so much seating and room from the outside but it definitely was spacious. Service was great from the wait staff, very friendly and quick with service. Upon seating you get a small bowl of steamed rice which is comforting and delicious with the meats and sides. Plenty of options from beef, pork, chicken and shrimp. I wish they did have more chicken options for both sides as I do no eat pork and side A was heavy with pork options but nonetheless the sides were delicious and so were the drink options. There wasn't much space on the table so we had to put some stuff on the floor and the grill started to become crusty and black with the residue of the meats cooking and would burn. Other than that cool place to come to with family friends or even a date. read more

Honey Pig is always such a fun experience. The atmosphere is lively, the staff is attentive, and the food is consistently amazing. The meats are high quality and cook perfectly right at the table, and the banchan just keeps coming. Everything is flavorful, fresh, and meant to be shared, which makes it great for groups. It's one of those places you leave full, happy, and already planning your next visit. read more

6-25 Today, my husband and I tried Honey Pot BBQ for the first time. I had an in-person class in Maryland and about an hour to spare beforehand, so we decided to stop in for a quick meal. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with a smile. Cami warmly welcomed us, prepared a table for two, and helped us choose something that could be served quickly since I needed to get to class on time. We ordered the chicken fried rice and an order of pan-fried mandu. The portions were incredibly generous. We shared the meal and still had leftovers! The food arrived piping hot and was absolutely delicious. Saying it was "delicious" almost doesn't do it justice. A special thank you to Cami for her kindness, friendly service, and helpful recommendations. She made our first visit a wonderful experience. We'll definitely be back next semester! read more

Stanley was absolutely fantastic! Walked in on a slow shift to meet up with some out of town friends. Stanley was the most attentive, friendly server I have had in a long time, and with the consideration of being in an AYCE joint, his attention to detail was even more appreciated. Food was also absolutely fantastic. Only note is some of the apps came out cold or lukewarm, but the quality of everything else more than made up for it!! I will definitely be back and will be asking for Stanley's section read more

Service here is fast. They have a robot that delivers meats to assist the server. Out server was really good. She was hustling the entire time. She was great. The place was spacious and comfortable. The smoke cleared out quickly bc of the retractable vents. Cool design. The meats were fine. We got the more expensive option and started with the premium meats. Each meats ranged in quality. Some were 10. Some were as low as 7. But it did hit the spot. The butter garlic pork belly and baby octopus were really good. The side dishes and sauces made up for any of the be average meats. Highly recommend this place. read more

My first visit! The food was delicious. I enjoyed the kimchi pancake. I order it more than 2 times. I'll definitely try the seafood pancake next time. The location looked clean. I will say our waiter was a bit chaotic. She took long to return to our table and forgot many parts of our order. There is a 90 minute limit so the longer service takes the less time you can have to cook and eat your dishes. She offered us crayons and a balloon but never returned to give it to us. She was very bubbly which made the visit more pleasant. I loved the simple touch of lollipops after the meal. We'll definitely be back. read more

Honey Pig - Rice cakes, Cheese Corn - Barbeque Near Me - College Park, Maryland

Good afternoon family!!!! Your boy is back with an overdue review . This is gona be a long one to read but just sit back relax and enjoy the show fam. I got you Let me preface with a little history lesson about this place. Back maybe around 20 yrs ago, honey pig was born in Annandale Va. now back then errybody and their baby mamas would flock to this place. This was like VAs first official Korean bbq. We would especially come here after a night of drinking cuz it was the only place besides yechon that was open 24hrs at the time. Then eventually, competition started popping up like weeds. Some would be more upscale and offer better quality meat. And others would be AYCE. And honey pig started to lose appeal (to me at least). Now Korean bbqs are ubiquitous, they're basically in every city/town. I eventually stopped going there and over the course of the next 20yrs to today, I've seen them EXPAND. I would think to myself like ," damn mamasan crazy, who still goes to honey pig?" So recently, this location opened near work, I usually come to this area to get lunch. Then I saw a sign for TOGO cupbaps!!! I was like this is actually what the doctor ordered!!!! I can't think of any Korean bbq spot that offers these!!! Down below, exhibit 1 shows you how good it looks.. this was the bees knees. Before I had spicy pork cup bap and that was delicious too my gawd. So I noticed they adapted their menus and offer AYCE and other items. The decor in this location blew my mind. Completely updated modern look from the Annandale location. Best believe I'm coming back. Gotta give props to queen mamasan to adapt to the ever changing trends and staying relevant throughout ALL these years and STILL expanding read more

Terrible. Waited for over 20 minutes just to be sat and no one assisted after. Did not even have water, and later after 10 minutes, a table of 2 was sat after us and was assisted immediately. Not sure what problem they had with us and male host just stared at our table in the kitchen while he was drinking water. Wasted my time and we left the table, and no one even noticed.

DONT TAKE YOUR KIDS. I love honey pig, and I'm sad to write this review about this location. Unfortunately we won't be returning. My family and I go here all the time, but they've recently changed their kid policy. My kid is short, barely eats anything other than lettuce and is 8 years old. they told me that because she's over 3 feet tall she will be charged as an adult. ummmmm what! The average 4 yr old is over 3 feet tall! I'm sorry but I'm not paying adult prices for a kid that barely eats. Not for families :-( read more

Great service, fast and attentive even when they were starting to close shop. Very good quality and presentation.

Genuinely have no idea how this place has such high ratings. The interior was cute and the servers were nice. That's about all the positive things I have to say. Maybe it's because I'm from LA where it's genuinely hard to find bad Korean food, but this was some of the most mediocre kbbq I've ever eaten. I went alone so I ordered mostly sides which I figured would be small and two meats: corn cheese, steamed egg, fish cake, rice, brisket and thinly sliced pork belly. The fish cake came first and was weirdly sweet, but ok, I thought, maybe just not my cup of tea? The brisket was fine, nothing special--although I disliked 2/3 of the sauces I was given to dip it in. Also surprised by the lack of banchan here, I've never had to ask for kimchi... The pork was gross. Maybe it would have been better marinated, but I could not finish it. The streamed egg was somewhat bland, but had these carrots and peppers inside that somehow made it worse. The corn cheese came in this diabolical little tray, that was basically a sprinkle of canned corn with gross clumps of room temperature cheese. Honestly I would rather go to Firepan in silver spring even though I'm not crazy about their food either. I would not come back here. read more
