At the end of the meal, one dish stood out as something
At the end of the meal, one dish stood out as something truly special--the charred cabbage salad. The name is totally not inspiring, right? But trust our whole table of foodies that you will want to order this and have an entire order to yourself. I wouldn't ruin the surprise beyond that. Another dish that's yummy is their shrimp/pork toast. 2 toasts per order. I was a bit incensed the restaurant wouldn't allow adding a toast for a party of three. Please, u can do better. For those liking something subtle, try their porridge of the night. Fyi, we were told it was times up after 90 minutes of dining. Ya, I don't believe that's following industry standards. Maybe next time, I'll just walk-in and have that salad at the bar and be done and happy.

Summary: Tasty, elevated, Taiwanese fusion with moody vibes Details: Taiwanese food has been continuing to have its moment in the Bay, and I'm here for it. I'd been following Chris for a while, since his days at Aina, through his popups right before Piglet, but never made it out to those due to some unfortunate circumstances. Since Piglet & Co opened up, I've had a number of friends go and the opinions have been... mixed, to say the least, which certainly put a damper on my own excitement. Decided to take a chance on it though, and I can't say I was really disappointed! Yes, it's not legit/authentic Taiwanese, so certainly don't come in expecting that. And no, not all the dishes are amazing, with a few of them being far too heavily seasoned for our liking. But, if you're looking for a fun fusion of generally exciting/interesting flavors with a very obvious Taiwanese influence, they're certainly worth considering, with our standouts including their honey walnut shrimp toast, pig's blood dirty rice, and the black sesame soup. Accessibility: Good mix of accessible tables, and (I believe) a lowered, accessible section of the bar.
Be the first to ReplyMy first experience at Piglet was mixed.
I came with 2 friends and we had similar reactions. The highlights are the cool interiors with atmospheric lighting and decorations. Also the charred cabbage salad blew us away, I would come back just for this dish. The other dishes all missed in some way but weren't necessarily bad. Avoid the 3 cup chicken wings, honestly wonder if the chef ever had 3 cup chicken?! Service was fine and noise level low enough for decent conversation. I will come back but hope they improve offerings with more Taiwanese flavors.
Be the first to ReplyThe restaurant is more family style as the portions of one
The restaurant is more family style as the portions of one item won't fill you up. We ordered a couple items for the table and they are listed as follows: *The shrimp and pork toast was my favorite with each bite. REALLY small portion though. *Black pepper garlic noodles tasted pretty standard. *Mala Pork Ribs were fun. I like mala and the ribs were a good mix of savory and spicy. *The charcuterie board was my least favorite item. It didn't feel interesting as a set as it was mostly dry and salty. I wasn't the biggest fan of the dimly lit interiors. Feels especially weird cause you'd feel like you can grab a drink but you can't. The service however was good. Overall, I think it's a pretty overrated venue, given the hype. The food's not bad but it's a stretch to say its worth the price point. Like I don't think I'd ever feel like I am craving to come back by myself or think it's worth dropping the big bucks to try out new items with different people.
Be the first to ReplyPiglet & Co is a new-ish spot in the Mission that offers
Piglet & Co is a new-ish spot in the Mission that offers Taiwanese food. I was super excited to come and felt like the food and service were good. Our waiter was super knowledgeable and gave great recommendations on the food. The restaurant doesn't have liquor license and we learned that the owner doesn't drink so he invested in a mocktail menu instead. I liked this idea and thought it was a cool way to introduce folks to non-alcoholic alternatives. We ordered: Honey Walnut Pork and Shrimp Toast: this was so delicious. I loved the soft yet toasty bread and the walnut relish was to die for! The shrimp patty was also great and juicy. Garlic Noodles: pretty standard but we learned they source the noodles from a local shop Whole Trout Fish: this fish was cooked perfectly. The flesh and meat were so tender and soft and the skin was so delicate. There were a few bones still left but it happens. I wish the seasoning was stronger- maybe more soy sauce or ginger. We used some of the garlic noodle soy sauce to help supplement Mala BBQ Ribs: these ribs were delicious! I loved how meaty and fall off the bone they were. Yum! My one gripe of feedback to the restaurant is that the reservation experience is quite hostile. When you make an rsvp online you're told there could be a cancelation fee (totally normal) but I found the language of their reminder texts to be a bit much. Idk if this is a canned automation from whatever service they use but getting a text that says "You're DUE at Piglet & Co in 1 hour" is pretty off putting. Normally when I get these text notifications they say something positive like "We're excited to see you at XYZ in 1 hour" or value neutral like "Your reservation at XYZ is in 1 hour". Overall I think the tone and mood you're setting for your customers prior to them entering the door is important.
Be the first to ReplyA short walk from Bart transportation with street parking
A short walk from Bart transportation with street parking available. The restaurant is a stickler for seating you where your reservation is booked even though we arrived 5 minutes before opening and we were advised to sit on the bar as we booked when it was only us and another group upon arrival. Staff is very friendly and the food was delicious and creative twists! Must order the toast and the sambal sauce on the side. Fun non-alcoholic concept and great restroom decor! They are also very punctual of the 90 minute time frame to reset for the next reservation.

Be the first to ReplyPiglet & Co is getting a lot of hype so I decided to
Piglet & Co is getting a lot of hype so I decided to prioritize it recently but I wasn't impressed by what they're offering. I was hoping for more of a Taiwanese experience but felt like it was too Americanized of a concept. Our server and their website described the menu as "Asian comfort food" but the menu is just a collection of small plates. At restaurants that serve a bunch of small plates meant to be shared, it can be difficult to get a balanced meal with vegetables and this was the case at Piglet & Co. The Honey Walnut Shrimp and Pork Toast is the trendy must order item and I am glad we ordered it. The toast was a soft milk bread while the shrimp and pork patty was crisp and delicious. I really appreciated that the toast wasn't overtly topped with aioli and the shrimp and pork patty spoke for itself. Next, the Chicken Wings came out and they were visually underwhelming when they arrived. The wings are baked, not fried, and came glazed in a sweet shoyu sauce. The glaze was thick, gummy and gave an unpleasant shine. For me, the wings weren't a standout item and I wouldn't order them again. The Mala BBQ Pork Ribs were served and they were the low point of the evening for me. This was when I realized I probably wouldn't come here again. The ribs were tender but they had no mala flavor or visible peppercorn element so they tasted just like a pork rib from any American restaurant. We ended our meal with the Pig Face Noodles and thankfully they were a hit. However, egg noodles with a savory pork gravy should always be a hit so no surprise here. Overall, the service was good and the ambiance is fine but I prefer no televisions in a dining room. I wanted to like Piglet & Co more but I think they need to mature the menu more to have more balance and less bar food. For me, the Honey Walnut Shrimp and Pork Toast was the best bite of the night and that's a problem considering it is essentially an appetizer. Another huge problem is that this restaurant has no alcohol. How can you serve bar food like wings and ribs but not serve alcohol? They need to get that corrected before I could ever come back. Unfortunately, I don't think this restaurant is going to help revitalize 18th & Mission due to its concept, price point and lack of alcohol.
Be the first to ReplyI was pretty hyped to try this place as I've heard a lot of
I was pretty hyped to try this place as I've heard a lot of good things. Honestly left pretty disappointed, at a pretty hefty price point. We started with the shrimp toast, and that was pretty good. Crispy shrimp patty, with sweet glazed walnuts underneath made for a very flavorful bite. Would recommend! The garlic noodles were just alright; lacking a bit of flavor, and wasn't as garlicky as I had hoped for. The portion size was also pretty lacking for its price. I tried to add the mala chili sambal to add some flavor, but it was still just too flat of a flavor profile. The chicken wings were good; super tender and fall off the bone. I actually wish it had a bit more of a bite and chew to it, but overall pretty good. The doubanjiang cauliflower was definitely the best dish of the night, and really surprised us. It was charred to a perfect amount, so you really get the roasted flavor without any burntness. The doubanjiang also plays off this quite well. We finally got the country fried pork chop, and this was actually pretty bad. The portion size is large, but the pork was dry and wasn't seasoned throughout, so it felt like I was just eating cooked, unseasoned meat with little to no crisp. The mustard greens weren't anywhere as flavorful as I expect, and the fried rice was also missing seasoning. Overall, probably won't be back! Still recommend it for a try though.

The restaurant was about 20% full. There were 2 big TVs playing Chinese movies with pop music playing and lunar new year decorations were being put up. Both waitstaff were friendly and made great food recommendations. We started with the cabbage salad. It arrived 10 mins after ordering. It was 2 nice size pieces of cabbage, boiled and charred to perfection and topped with Asian pear, some crunchy bits and a light dressing. The shrimp and pork toast is a popular item here. A reimagine of the classic walnut shrimp. Big piece of breaded shrimp and pork patty over crushed walnut bits and placed on top of toasted Japanese milk bread. Next came the mala spiced ribs. It was not that spicy which I liked but had the slight numbing taste. A half order came with 4 pieces. It was falling off the bone. I recommend ordering some pickles to help cut down on the richness. Lastly we ordered the black tea bread pudding with winter melon and coconut sorbet. This took 20 mins to arrive after ordering. I wish there was a bigger scoop of the sorbet. Coconut flavor was light. I'm a big fan of hot and cold desserts together so I really enjoyed it. It was a nice end to the meal.
Be the first to ReplyMy partner and I just tried Piglet & Co yesterday.
Nestled in a slightly dodgy neighborhood is this beautiful haven of a restaurant! The ambience is beautiful, definitely an elevated feeling upon entering.The service, immaculate. Before I could even turn over to request more water or when I dropped my chopsticks, someone was already there with what I needed. The servers are all very friendly and very responsible to consider my serious mushroom allergy. They should write a book on service for all other restaurants.The food is probably what brought it down a star. I had such high hopes for Taiwanese/Asian fusion restaurant but some of the dishes really just didn't meet the cost/hype for me tbh. The shrimp toast was out of this world, 5/5. We also started with the toast and perhaps this boosted my expectations for the rest of the meal, but this was definitely the shining star of the experience. The furikake rice was actually really amazing, also 5/5. The pork chashao was pretty good, maybe a 4/5 considering the price! The smaller size was enough for the two of us. The mala pork ribs were a 3/5 for me - this was lacking flavor and seemingly different textures based on location of which rib you ate. The charred cabbage, gosh I wanted to like this so badly based on the reviews and the description, but 2/5. The oils didn't seem well integrated or too much of it, it left a weird feeling at the roof of my mouth. It gave soppy cabbage-ish vibe and the flavor wasn't all the way there - so for the price point and favor, not our faves. Dessert was fun and cute, 4/5 - the mochi was fresh and the fresh fruit really nicely brought the freshness to the dish. Overall, recommend this place. Please make reservations, they get booked up pretty quickly!

Solid pork dishes, but could use more spice, more tang, or more kick.I went to dinner on a Thursday night with a friend. Since I had limited time due to travel, I made reservations online a couple weeks before, which required a credit card. The credit card seemed unnecessary since we were only a party of two, but I booked it anyway. Our server, who was very nice and attentive, suggested we order 2-3 dishes per person. This was our first mistake! The portions were huge, and we would've been happier with 3 or 4 dishes total. This seemed to be the case for many other patrons, since I notice a lot of people taking food home. Half of our dishes went uneaten not only because of the portions, but also because the pork was pretty heavy. The sauce for the Ssam and the Pork ribs tasted exactly the same, too.Parking is limited, so I recommend public transit.Overall, it was a decent experience, but no where on par to similar restaurants like Viridian or Lion Dance Cafe in the East Bay.
Be the first to ReplyI really wanted to love Piglet & Co because it seemed like
I really wanted to love Piglet & Co because it seemed like a really good restaurant concept on paper. SF lacks good Taiwanese food, and it's even rarer to find street food. However, I felt the food at this place was a huge letdown - it neither reminded me of Taiwanese food nor the Taiwanese street food I grew up eating. We ordered quite a few dishes per our waiter's recommendation - honey walnut shrimp toast, mala pork ribs, charred savoy cabbage, smoked potatoes, and their sago, fruit, and taro ball dessert. The honey walnut shrimp and pork toast was probably the best thing I ate. Savory, a little sweet, and a good crunch with the bread. The mala pork ribs had zero mala flavor (numbing & spice), and it just tasted like soy sauce glazed ribs. The savoy cabbage was quite heavy, so after a few bites, it wasn't something I could continue eating. The side of smoked potatoes were a bit forgettable. Lastly, the sago in the dessert was good, but the taro balls lacked the QQ texture I was used to. Overall, I was quite disappointed - if the restaurant concept had said this was a Asian fusion restaurant, I would rate this place differently. Nothing on the menu reminded me of Taiwan street food. Unfortunately, I don't see myself recommending this place to others or going back myself again.
Be the first to ReplyMade a reservation a month in advance for dinner slot at
Made a reservation a month in advance for dinner slot at the bar. They're dry for now waiting on the license, but they have somegreat non alcoholic options and tasty yuzu apple soda and smooth teas. The front door and windows are plastered with posters. An unexpected IYKYK speakeasy vibe.We had a few things but my two favorites:Honey walnut shrimp toast. This has pork in it. It's one of those things where there's no perfect bite because every bite is perfect, I really wish I didn't have to share. The salted egg yolk potatoes. Even good warm the next day, we couldn't finish. The ribs we fall off the bone tender and sticky and lovely with crispies and mayo.Really. Order these three ( I know I said two but I mean who can pick with tastiest this good) things + maybe the cauliflower or something. Everything was delicious and very flavorful. They don't hold back on bringing a curated plate to your taste buds.Also. They remembered from my reservation I noted have an orange allergy and made an alternate sauce for the dessert which had caracara orange in it. I was sincerely touched. Of all the reservations I have made mentioning it really makes me happy they cared to note it to me. I am coming again. And ordering my own toast.

I've been hearing about Piglet & Co so much recently and finally got to try it yesterday for dinner! It's a small place so make sure you get a reservation.What we ordered:- Honey walnut shrimp & pork toast: my favorite dish of the night! The soft milk bread + honey walnut spread + perfectly fried shrimp and pork patty came together for a perfect bite! I loved it. It's a big portion so you could split with another person if you wanted to save room for more food. :P- Chashao pork ssam: deliciously fatty & rich pork belly! The braised pork belly was so tender. We got the 5 piece for $25.- Smoked potatoes: my least favorite dish but that's just because i'm not sure if I like smoked things, ha! The texture of the potatoes was great though. I probably wouldn't order it again.- Mala BBQ pork ribs: they encourage you to eat these with your hands but they are SO tender that you could eat it with chopsticks! The mala is SUPER subtle (not spicy at all, but you get the numbing tingly feeling). I loved the pickled onions & rice crackers on top for the extra textural element.- Sweet potato mochi & tapioca dessert: their only dessert item and it was so yummy. The purple sweet potato mochi is chewy and the tapioca pudding with the fresh fruits is refreshing. My friend loved the red bean in it too.Service was friendly, but they did forget our ribs order until we reminded them. Those service quirks will probably go away with time. Welcome to SF, Piglet & Co!! Can't wait to come back and try more dishes. I have my eye on that cabbage. :)
Be the first to ReplyOne of the best restaurants I've been to in SF, no cap.
Everything we got was Lewis LITTTT. The best was probably the shrimp and pork toast, or the ssam. Also got the chicken wings, ribs, and cabbage. You probably will need to get your hands dirty though. Portions were pretty big and decent value for the price. Service was great and so were the vibes, even though they haven't finished decorating yet since they're still pretty new. Highly recommend if you're in the area and craving something goood
Be the first to ReplyAs a Taiwanese American, I was very excited to try newly
As a Taiwanese American, I was very excited to try newly opened Piglet & Co's Taiwanese night market inspired menu. I absolutely loved the food here, but not in the way I initially expected. I found the menu to be a genius mash-up of Taiwanese, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean flavors that embodied being Asian American in California. It was not traditional Taiwanese cuisine at all, but it still evoked feelings of comfort and familiarity.It's also exciting to see how Chef Chris Yang and partner Marcelle Gonzales Yang have evolved the ideas from their Hén-zhì and El Chino Grande pop-up days into a full-fledged permanent location. After having tried Chef Yang's cooking at Hén-zhì and Hawaiian spot Aina, Piglet & Co feels much more confident and established already.Every dish I tried was standout, but my favorite surprise hit was the charred savoy cabbage. This is not vegetarian or diet-friendly cabbage mind you. The cabbage is thoroughly charred and drenched in creamy pork fat. Exceptionally bright kalo (taro) soubise green sauce cuts through the fat perfectly.I also couldn't resist trying every pork dish on the menu, and all three were decadently good. The honey walnut shrimp & pork toast was a much more generous portion than expected, but I happily scarfed my half down, even knowing the other dishes to come. The chashao pork ssam starred lusciously shiny pork belly, served Korean-style with lettuce wraps and white kimchi. And the mala pork ribs were a delight, with pickled red onion and rice cracker providing a nice contrast.My only disappointment? Not dining with a larger group so I could have tried the rest of the concise menu. I was admiring my neighbor's Chinese steamed whole fish with my already full stomach. Ah, next time!

Ambiance is kinda cool. Waitstaff was nice. Food was all over the place. If you're going to get one thing, get the shrimp toast. I could have that all day.Fried chicken was mediocre and the black sesame slaw was the first time I've ever hated black sesame. Pork belly was sadly overcooked. Ribs were aight
Be the first to ReplyOne of the very few Taiwanese restaurants in SF, and one
One of the very few Taiwanese restaurants in SF, and one that is definitely worth visiting. The menu is a collection of night marked inspired, relatively smaller plates that are meant to be shared. For vegetarians it's a nice surprise to see a solid number of options as opposed some places where you only have one uninspired salad or pasta/noodle. It's just a side but I really, really liked the smoked potatoes (without karasumi). For a more filling diah I'd recommend the savory rice porridge and the doubanjiang cauliflower which had a hint of sweetness. There's also a tea menu with some teas that you won't find many other places. For example the fruity Alishan tea from Alishan, Taiwan.The ambiance is great; they have lanterns hanging from the ceiling and in general the entire restaurant has a red glow. They also have a few large TVs which were playing some classic Jackie Chan films. Service was good as well - prompt, friendly and everything was served quite quickly.
Be the first to ReplyFabulous new spot! Loved everything we ordered.
Our favorites were the pork belly, the shrimp toast, and kampachi crudo. Omg the crunchy sweet walnut jam is insane, I would buy a jar every week if they sold jars! Can't wait to see how this place grows and changes it up!
Be the first to ReplyMy foodie friend recommended we try Piglet & Co.
Located in the Mission District, we had reservations for Thursday at 630 at the bar. I booked these reservations two weeks in advance and could only get bar seating. When we arrived, the restaurant was quiet, but quickly filled up. We ordered almost everything on the menu and everything was delicious. We started with the pickles and then had pretty much down the list including: kampachi crude, Mala bbq pork ribs, rice porridge, doubanjiang cauliflower, charred savoy cabbage, chaosao pork ssam, mala sauce, and ginger scallion relish. The restaurant had great vibes and Bruce Lee movies are playing in the bar area. Unfortunately, they do not have a liquor license. I asked if we could BYOB and they said they can't allow it because it might impact their application. They do offer zero alcohol wines, including a great sparkling rose. I didn't miss the alcohol. Admittedly, we pregamed before the restaurant because we knew we wouldn't be able to drink during dinner. Highly recommend coming here and ordering everything!
Be the first to ReplyHad an 8:30 reservation on a Wednesday.
It was really full when we came in, which I thought was a good sign for such a new place. I loved the theme (Bruce Lee movies!) and dim lighting, and the view into the kitchen. The food was incredible. Will order everything again at some point. But can't stop thinking about the honey walnut shrimp & pork toast and the pork ssam.
