Pig Company Korean BBQ in Myeongdong: A Traveller-Friendly Feast With Pork BBQ + Fried Chicken
If you’re visiting Seoul and want the classic Korean BBQ experience without the stress of ordering (or the “tourist tax” feeling some areas can give off), Pig Company in Myeongdong is an easy win. It’s an all-you-can-eat setup built around pork cuts, cooked on a traditional cauldron lid grill, and the fun twist is that you can add soy-glazed boneless Korean fried chicken—in the same meal.
I went in expecting a straightforward BBQ meal but left thinking, “Why don’t more places combine this much comfort food in one table?” You grill, you wrap, you snack on chicken between rounds, and you end the meal with cold noodles like a proper Korean BBQ finish. It’s the kind of place travellers can rely on when they’re hungry, indecisive, and don’t want to spend 20 minutes decoding a menu.
I visited the Myeongdong Branch for my experience so this blog will be solely based off of my experience in the Myeongdong branch.

What makes Pig Company different (and why it’s fun)
1) Cauldron Lid Grill
Pig Company grills on a traditional cauldron lid-style plate (the domed “솥뚜껑” style). It’s more than aesthetics: the dome shape helps fat run off and gives you that satisfying sear when the plate is hot.
It’s also very “Seoul BBQ energy.” The table looks dramatic the moment the grill heats up, and it makes the meal feel like an event even if you’re just two people grabbing dinner.
2) Korean fried chicken… with BBQ… in the same course
This is the hook. Their menu explicitly includes a fried chicken set in the mid and full courses, specifically soy-glazed boneless fried chicken.
So you’re not choosing between “BBQ night” or “chicken night.” You get both. It’s also perfect pacing: grill a round, eat chicken while the next round cooks, then wrap meats with lettuce and sauces.
3) Unlimited Ramen!
They have a self-ramen machine where you help yourself to the ramen. The machine cooks your ramen perfectly, and you can enjoy it unlimited if you select the F course.
Prices and what you get
Pig Company’s all-you-can-eat menu is structured as A / B / F courses, with clear inclusions, as stated on their website.
A Course — ₩17,900
Assorted Pork Cuts (all-you-can-eat within your dining time), including:
Pork belly
Pork neck (collar)
Thin-sliced beef brisket
Pork jowl
Pork skirt meat
Thin-sliced pork belly
Honeycomb pork skin
Marinated pork bulgogi
Beef large intestine
Also included: Unlimited soybean stew.
If you’re a first-timer, this course already covers the “I want to try lots of cuts” craving without forcing you into extras.
B Course — ₩19,900
Everything in A Course, plus a fried chicken set:
Soy-glazed boneless fried chicken
This is the best “fun-per-won” option if you want the signature combo (BBQ + chicken) without going full carb mode.
F Course — ₩23,900
Everything in B Course, plus these unlimited add-ons:
Unlimited soft drinks
Unlimited rice
Unlimited cold noodles
Unlimited ramen
And all menu options include the unlimited sauce & salad bar.
If you’re travelling with friends or you’ve got a serious appetite, F Course turns into a full “K-food night” in one table: meat + chicken + noodles + rice, with sauces and greens for wraps.
My recommended way to eat here (so you don’t waste stomach space)
If you’re travelling, you want maximum variety without getting full too early.
Step 1: Start with pork belly + pork neck : These are the safest “everyone likes it” cuts. Get your grill rhythm going first.
Step 2: Add pork jowl (and don’t rush it) : Jowl is one of those cuts where the texture and fat balance feels more “special” than standard belly. Sear it properly and it becomes the highlight.
Step 3: Use the sauce & salad bar like a wrap station : The unlimited sauce/salad bar is included across all courses. Build your own ssam (wraps) instead of eating plain meat nonstop—this is how you last longer and enjoy more variety.
Step 4: Drop fried chicken into the middle of the meal : If you’re on B or F Course, treat chicken as the “break” food while you wait for the next meat round. It resets your palate and makes the whole experience feel less repetitive.
Step 5: End with cold noodles : If you’re on F Course, cold noodles are unlimited. This is a classic Korean BBQ ending—cool, refreshing, and it cuts through the richness.
What it’s like inside
Pig Company positions itself as a comfortable stop in busy Myeongdong—somewhere you can sit down and recharge rather than fight crowds while hungry.
You’ll likely see a mix of travellers and locals, and the setup is designed so you don’t need Korean BBQ experience to enjoy it. The branch info highlights English-friendly menus and staff help with grilling when needed, which matters if this is your first BBQ in Korea.
One practical note: Pig Company states that dining time limits can apply during busy hours (they describe it as a fairness thing for seating).
So go in with a “eat steadily, not slowly” mindset—especially at peak dinner times.
Who this place is best for
Travellers who want “one place that covers everything”
If your group can’t decide between:
Korean BBQ
Korean fried chicken
noodles/rice-heavy comfort food
…this solves it in one booking-free meal. The F Course is basically a full Korean food checklist in one sitting.
First-time Korean BBQ visitors
Clear course pricing + unlimited sauce/salad bar + support with grilling makes it low-pressure.
Late-night eaters in Myeongdong
Open until 2:00 AM, which is a big deal in a neighbourhood where your appetite often kicks in after shopping, night walks, or cafes.
What to order if you only go once
If you’re a traveller and you want the most “Pig Company” experience in one visit:
B Course (₩19,900) if you want the BBQ + chicken combo without extra carbs
F Course (₩23,900) if you want the full experience with cold noodles/ramen/rice/soft drinks included
A Course is great value, but the chicken add-on is the part most travellers remember and talk about.
Final Traveller tip: go here when you’re hungry, not when you’re “snacky”
This is an all-you-can-eat place, and it shines when you show up properly hungry. If you’ve been grazing on street food for three hours, you’ll tap out early and miss the best part (variety + pacing).
If you plan it right, Pig Company is one of those “Seoul travel meals” that feels both easy and memorable: cauldron lid grilling, unlimited pork cuts, and fried chicken on the same table—without turning ordering into homework.
