What a great experience! The food was so delicious and never ending. The sides were tasty and decorative. All the food came out pretty quick once sitting down. Our server # 26 did a great job, making sure our waters were filled and our meats were flipped. Very polite and friendly service all around
What wasn't good about this place. Great staff nice and fast. And it being my first time they were awesome enough to explain to me and my wife everything and we had the best dining experience we had in a long time. Even let us stay a little longer then the allotted time. The food was excellent everything perfectly marinated and seasoned. Just a bang in your mouth with every bite. Then cooking your own food on a grill built into your table I mean come on how cool is that!!! Excellent place excellent food will be going back alot!!! Bringing all three kids next time 😂. Keep up the awesome work guys
Me and my family went here on a sunday afternoon, about 8 of us, and we only waited 10 minutes to be seated... I've passed this place a lot of times but never thought of going in. This place was quite alright. The waiters and waitresses were very polite and did everything they were asked to do. They bring the food out to your table just the way you want it. They put the food on the grill for you, and you take over from there as far as cooking it to your liking. The chicken, porkbelly, garlic steak, shrimp and all was excellent. Seasoned perfectly from the time they bring it out and until the timed it's cook. They also have a bar and drinks as well. Nice atmosphere and all around great eating. We definatley will be going back again.
For about 10 years, my husband and I have been going to Iron Age in Rockville. This was our first time trying the "Baltimore" location and we were not disappointed.
We showed up around 7PM and had to wait an hour and 15 minutes for a table. (Our wait was originally estimated to be 1.5 - 2 hours, so we were happy with this). The wait was definitely worth it. (When we left around 10:30PM, there were lots of open tables, so maybe we wouldn't have had a wait if we came later).
When we arrived at our table, our grill was on and the table was set with sides and sauces - saving us valuable eating time.
Our waiter was very attentive in the beginning. He brought us water and got us refils. Eventually he left extra water with us and stopped coming by as often when he realized we were cooking the meat ourselves. He brought out orders promptly and was very friendly. There was some confusion when he thought we were done ordering. So he disappeared for 20 mins. We were worried we wouldn't be able to make a last order since we were past the table time limit by the time he came back, but he was more than happy to get us the last dish.
The meat options are great here. We enjoyed all of their steak as well as their brisket and pork belly. We also liked that the portions weren't too large. This meant we could order a variety of meats before getting too full. When you come with only 2 people, this is a huge advantage.
The atmosphere here is great - much better than the Iron Age in Rockville. The tables aren't cramped together and you can actually hear the people at your table. They have barriers set up between booths. I also like that the grills suck up the smoke rather than having overhead vents. This means no greasy smoke blowing on you.
I would highly recommend this place if you're looking for all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ in the area. You may want to come on a weekday or wait until after the dinner rush on the weekend if you don't want to wait such a long time. But we're glad we waited it out and we can't wait to go back!
(Sorry I didn't take more photos of the food. I was too busy enjoying it!)
We're there around 5.15 Saturday night, the waiting time is 10 mins and we're seated right afterward. The table was set with some banchan and Iron Age version green salad. Now we're ready to order, after you scan on the QR code for menu! Remember, only 2 meats at a time. So get your list ready and roll!
We got steamed rice, steamed egg, and started with iron age soy beef steak and shrimp, and the list still long, pork belly, beef brisket, pork steak, garlic pork steak, seasoned steak, hawaiian beef bulgogi, spicy squid and spicy squid plus a japchae. Wow! That's a lot of meat!
If you have a lil one, don't worry they'll bored there's a nonstop entertainment with KPop music, and they started to enjoy dancing while we're eating.
Our server was very pleasant and helpful, always ready to get what you need.
The restrooms check was ok too, though through dinner peak time, it's getting wet and messy but all still there like papers and soap. So you'll get what you need just be careful of slippery wet floor.
Tips: they change the grill plate for pork belly and bee brisket, and it takes time, so manage your order in advance for a smooth transition in between.
This is my favorite restaurant. Lots of options of meat. I just didn't do a 5 star because you can't do a planned reservation on the phone. 4 friends and I came to celebrate my birthday and had a great time.
Iron Age never disappoints. I go here every chance I get haha the eggplant noodles tho are so yummy. The staff is friendly, the beer is COLD as it should be. I just love this place. Oh and now they do this little birthday celebration. You get a to go free cheesecake. 🌻💕
I’ve always enjoyed Korean BBQ. It’s such a wonderful and exciting experience. They have a wide spread of meats and veggie selections. The atmosphere is so chill. Great place to take family or just hangout with friends eat, drink, cook, eat some more and on and on. Reasonably priced and friendly staff.
