Fun experience every time! It's definitely not where you want to go for a peaceful meal. LOL. They have K-POP and house music blasting with music videos projected on the walls. You'll be entertained the whole night! The food is great! Service has been great every time I've gone. The only reason I did not give it a 5 star is due to the wait. I wish they opened up their waitlist or allowed reservations so you're not forced to wait forever for a table. It does get crazy busy and I've had to wait 2 hours before. Being able to put yourself on a waitlist or calling in a reservation would be beneficial for this restaurant in my opinion.

Not what I expected from the name Iton Age Steakhouse as I thought it was going to be more upscale. It's basically Korean BBQ w/Kpop music songs playing loudly. Great value for AYCE $29 dinner as our server was amazingly attentive and efficient. Food: 3.5 Service: 4 Ambiance: 3 Overall: 4

One of the best servers( Timothy). Made the whole experience awesome! Deserves a promotion! Made sure we had our food in time and always checking up on us even though he seemed busy. Definitely will come again

This place is like a kpop party with big screens of music video playing while you dine. They close at midnight and kitchen close at 11pm. We were greeted and told to wait for our table, 5 minutes later we were seated. This is all you can eat, they didn't have a huge variety in meats just the basic. Chicken, pork, and steak. Maybe 1 shrimp. Otherwise few appetizers to choose from. We got 4 dipping sauce and few pickle radish dishes. Food was good. We couldn't finish the last steak and was worried they'll charge us. But they didn't.

Came here with my multi-generational family (from great-grandparents down to toddlers). I will say it's probably not my style of atmosphere for this stage of life. The music is loud. K-pop music videos are projected on all three big walls. It's bombastic. (Perhaps distracted our kids from eating well). That said, if you are young, childless for the night, or looking for a fun night out and getting food coma with friends (and not deep, meaningful conversation) then this is a lively place to be. It's busy, so take that into account too. You'll probably have to wait for a table for a bit. We had a really sweet server. She checked in on us frequently enough that we didn't feel neglected, and there are lots of tables. What we got: - Bulgogi This was probably my favorite. I think they marinate it like galbi, so it was sweet and savory and smoky. Super tender. This surprised me because I don't usually like bulgogi (sometimes it can be too sweet). - Chadolbaegi This was ok. It's cut a little thicker than I'm used to, so the texture wasn't quite as light. And maybe this was a little more leaner than others--which may be good or bad depending on your tastes. - Samgyupsal Eek. This was a bit tough and dry to me. Maybe a fluke? Maybe cooking error? Not sure I would waste stomach space on this either way. - Lemon Chicken Surprisingly juicy and tender! If you want non-red meat then try this! - Shrimp This was ok. Texture wasn't very snappy, actually it was a bit mushy? Probably wouldn't waste stomach space on this either unless you are avoiding red meat and need an alternative option. - Japchae Standard and plain--really good option for kids. It has no protein, no mushrooms. Really basic, but not bland. I mean this in the best way when you have picky eaters at the table. - Steamed egg This was kind of fun. Usually it comes as a side dish already made, but this came in a little foil tin and you have to grill it yourself. But it was made in a broth or something that made it taste unique. Overall, for AYCE korean bbq it's good. Compared to places like Mr. Kimchi, this one doesn't come with a lot of variety of banchan (side dishes). So it kind of lacks versatility there. Our kids usually love the veggie side dishes, but here there wasn't much they ate so it didn't feel worth the price. Maybe this is cheaper per person though, which can be worth it. Just one thought: where are the ventilation fans?? With the tallest ceilings, I wasn't sure the vents up there were doing much of anything. I much prefer the places where there's one over every grill/table. I feel like it was really smoky inside, but maybe that's all just psychological.

(As someone who is not korean) I like Iron Age! I love coming with my friends and it's always a fun experience. You do have to cook your own food, but I don't mind. While some of my korean friends say it's not very authentic, it's still good. There are a lot of options, and you have to use a QR code to access the menus. The reason I gave this spot 4 stars is because I feel like the service here can be hit or miss. A few times I have gone, our waiter was nowhere to be found. But other than that, some of the other waiters have been very kind and helpful. Another reason I gave this place 4 stars is because it has a night-club kind of vibe, and the music is always loud. It sometimes makes it a little hard to talk to people at your table.

Iron Age is 1 of my favorite AYCE Korean BBQ spots of all times. They provide numerous protein options of great quality and their sides are a must. They get packed daily, majority of the time they have their online waitlist turned off. You'll have to get your name on the list at the restaurant vs doing it yourself. The vibe here is of a night club. Minimum lighting inside however there are lights at each table. The KPop music was very loud which made it a challenge to have a conversation with the group I was with. Every time I've been here the food has been exceptional. My favorites are the beef brisket, steak, pork belly and spicy squid. Their sides are just as delicious and plentiful. I like that they provide veggies to grill as well. Iron Age has been the only KKQ spot that I've been to that gives veggies to grill. Service for us was very quick. Our waters were constantly replenished and your server checked in at the perfect times to get our next protein order in and cooked up. They limit your seating time to 2 hours which is more than enough time to leave with an overly full and happy belly.
