Honey Pig

(404) 476-9292

BBQ aficionados may balk at this recommendation, but if you are open to sampling a mouth-watering range of flavors of a new cuisine, Korean Barbecue at Honey Pig is worth a try. Korean BBQ is very popular internationally, and Atlanta has many great Korean restaurants, mostly concentrated around the Duluth area, about 30 minutes from downtown Atlanta. Most Korean BBQ restaurants are equipped with a gas or charcoal grill that is built into the center of the table. At Honey Pig, the grill looks more like an inverted wok. After taking your order, your server brings an assortment of side dishes called Banchan, many of which are pickled vegetables (kimchi and the like) that are designed to stimulate your appetite. Depending on what you order, your server will bring you plates of raw marinated meat or seafood for you to grill at the table. Honey Pig is contemporary, stylish, and very clean. If you are looking for delicious food and a fun experience, Honey Pig is the place to go.
