Final Thoughts: Choose the Location That Fits Your Day
Pig Company didn’t choose its locations randomly.
Each branch exists where Korean BBQ makes sense for that neighborhood.
Gangnam for efficiency and routine
Hongdae for energy and social dining
Myeongdong for accessibility and travel convenience
Whichever location you choose, the goal is the same:
good pork, proper grilling, and a meal that fits into your day — not one that disrupts it.
