Reviews for Whistle Pig Korean in Bozeman, MT
Banchan and bibimbop were delicious. Good portion too, took some home for a second meal. The Korean street donut was a unique... item and definitely worth a try. Read more
I?ll be honest. When I saw a Korean restaurant in Bozeman, Montana, I said to myself ?no way this is going to be good Korean... food.? Upon entering and not seeing any Asian people at all, kind of a red flag. But hey, I?m here. I found it odd they chargedextra for banchan (side dishes) which are typically included at nearly every Korean restaurant. Also noting people usingchopsticks to eat bibimbap was a bit odd. But hey! It?s Bozeman. Everything is weird. I ordered the stone pot bibimbap, addedspicy pork. When the dish came out I was surprised at how massive the portion is. I was also surprised to see they use Koreanblack rice (which turns the rice purple). All I?m going to say is every assumption I had flew out the window. This bowl rocked.I was blown away. The vegetables in the dish tastes so fresh and the spicy pork was grilled to perfection. The sizzling stonebowl (dolsot) perfectly crisps up the rice. It was the best bibimbap I?ve had in the country. Read more
I have passed by this place for years and, finally decided to step in & give it a whirl. I?ve eaten a lot of Korean food in my... time and, I simply found this place to be too limited in options for my taste. This place is also LOUD. One thing I have enjoyedabout Korean restaurants (no matter where I am, in Sol, Korea or Oahu or Las Vegas) in the past is tranquil, quiet conversation.That?s not a thing here. I will say this - one thing I truly appreciate about this place is they do their best to locally sourceEVERYTHING. Even down to the glassware. But that?s about it. However, their menu, to me, was limited in options AND, unless Ipaid $6 dollars extra - the side dishes I am used to receiving with my main dish (that are formulated to help digestion & tastethat are traditional with Korean food) did not come with my main course (unless I paid extra.) When I came here this place wasLOUD. My server did not seem to be attentive to me at all and, it was frustrating at times. In fact, one table next to me evenyelled for our server for me multiple times as I was ignored repeatedly and the table next to me saw it going on no matter howhard I tried to grab their attention without yelling. After I left I looked up the pricing on the menu and, I was overchargedfor a tea and, main course by $4 even tho I left a decent tip as I was never shown my bill. I wanted to get dessert but I washonestly so fed up with being ignored I didn?t want to wait forever to get my food so, I just asked for my check when anothertable finally yelled at the server to come over to me as he was trying to walk away from me again without checking on me. Will Icome back here ? Eh. Doubtful. If I came back here?s what I would do : - Bring a friend. (Obviously eating here alone means youget ignored by your server.) - Bring ear plugs I use at concerts. It is WAY loud in here. - Check my bill before paying withoutassuming my server is doing their job. - Be prepared for spend $40+ on a tea & main dish Read more
Got bibimbap with spicy pork in a ceramic bowl. It is worth the extra dollar. Makes things nice and crispy. I also got the pork... mandu. The dumplings are very crispy, but not like a wonton dumpling. Very interesting. Food tasted great and will be comingback for more. Great Korean food. Read more
Not being very familiar with Korean food and having heard great things from several people we stopped for a meal here. We... ordered an appetizer with some stuff like pickled garlic and onions and bibimbap for our meals. The stone bowls stayed hot theentire meal, a little too hot to eat for a while. The meal was complex, it was tasty but I think ordering it again would dobetter. The space was small and quite busy. The staff was nice and very busy. Being more familiar with the food would help,but we would go back. The metal chopsticks were a nice touch. Read more
An absolute must if you are in Bozeman and love Korean food! I had the spicy pork bibimbap and it was absolutely delicious. The... service was a little slow, but it was clear we came at a busy time. All of the staff we talked to there were very friendly andthe atmosphere of the restaurant was very welcoming. The prices are very fair as well. A great place to eat for so manyreasons. Read more
Our first visit to Bozeman and we had a fantastic meal here! We had a short 10 min wait and then we?re seated at a nice table... by the window. We ordered our wine and some dumplings that were delish! Then dinner - the Bibimbap with beef and the shortribs!! Truly fantastic!!! They came out sizzling hot and the food was fresh and the sauces so tasty!!! The service was spot onand we noticed the couple that owns it working really hard along with their waitstaff! Highly recommend!!! Read more
Fantastic Korean food! Having lived in Asian for 2 years we came to love good Korean cuisine and this place delivered in a most... unexpected city. Scallion pancakes had an amazing sauce. And, the Japchae Bap?s sauce was even better! Service was alsofantastic. Very attentive and happy to provide extra sauces to feed my new addiction. Read more
