A sizzling new arrival is on the way to the Northwoods Shopping Center. Honey Pig, a buzzy East Coast Korean barbecue chain, is lining up a San Antonio debut at 18130 San Pedro Ave., Suite 88, according to local filings and reporting. The concept leans into a menu-of-the-night setup where diners grill pork bulgogi, pork belly and ribeye right at the table. Renovations are slated to kick off March 1, with a roughly $600,000 buildout aiming for an October wrap.
Renovation Timeline And Permits
A project page with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation lists a March 1 construction start, an Oct. 30 completion target and an estimated $600,000 interior renovation budget, as reported by MySanAntonio. State filings only outline planned interior work and are subject to change, so the schedule is more early blueprint than locked-in promise.
What To Expect At The Table
Honey Pig is a female-led brand that started in Annandale, Virginia, and now operates Texas locations in Austin, Houston and Katy, per the restaurant’s website at Honey Pig. The chain specializes in cook-it-yourself tabletop grills with marinated bulgogi, ribeye steaks, pork belly and bubbling pots of kimchi-and-pork stew and tofu soup, as noted by Eater Austin. If you like your dinner to arrive raw and your clothes to smell like smoke afterwards, you will probably feel right at home.
Where It Fits In Northwoods
The Northwoods Shopping Center already pulls steady traffic with an H-E-B, Chick-fil-A and Avenida Brazil, and Honey Pig will slip into a neighborhood that is quietly becoming a grill-at-your-table hot zone. Across U.S. 281, spots like Dae Gee Korean BBQ and Wild Japanese BBQ & Sushi & Shabu are already working the tongs, giving Stone Oak diners multiple hands-on options, according to CultureMap San Antonio.
When To Expect An Opening
Honey Pig has tipped its hand with a "coming soon" teaser on its Facebook page but has not locked in a public opening date. The company did not immediately respond to local reporters’ requests for comment, per MySanAntonio. If the TDLR timeline sticks, that schedule would suggest a likely opening in fall 2026.
If construction holds to the filings, Honey Pig could be grilling in Northwoods by late 2026, adding another player to San Antonio’s growing Korean barbecue scene. As the buildout moves along, look for more details on the exact opening date and which cuts of meat will be hitting those Northwoods grills first.
