Eat your meat with Rice Cake Wraps (dduk saam)!!!. You got to eat your BBQ meats with their dduk saams!! It’s so good! Forget the rice and stick to the wraps!!But you have to ask for it or the waiters won’t serve it to you! Also, if you haven’t been there.. the unlimited BBQ for one person is $17.99. They raised the price.. I remember when it was only $14.99.. but I think it’s worth it!If you can eat a lot.. this is YOUR PLACE TO GO!! Also, a terrific place to bring your date here..Also, if you ask for the steamed eggs they’ll bring it to you.. that’s another tip! No charge.. so try it out.. it’s soooooooo yummy!!!
Great night out!. Iron Age was a really fun restaurant. We enjoyed all of the foods they offered and the servers were very attentive and helpful since this was our first time trying Korean BBQ. the atmosphere was also great, Korean music videos and a big crowd butthat’s what makes the experience.
Best all you can eat Korean in ATL. For an all you can eat Korean restaurant, Iron Age is pretty good.. it doesn’t offer delicious meat like they do in Los Angeles, but for Atlanta, GA… this is the best place to go to
Very Loud, Horrible Service, Unremarkable Food. Iron Age is more New Age. Dont expect old world cuisine here, but the service is pretty antediluvian. Part kitsch Korean eatery with giant projection screens blasting Asian music videos of slinky bling vixens and part lets-just-throw this place together to make-money-endeavor, makes this once on my wish list suck just like the service reference. It was a hard place to find even with the GPS. We made it to the strip mall as indicated, but saw no sign as we looked over the area. When called we were told it was next to the PetSmart. Hint: there is NO PetSmart, it is PetCo you want toward the end of the line of unique jumbled shop signs. If you must, just go straight down Mall Corners Blvd and it will be on your Left about the second business door.Ive navigated wider entrance passages and just as dark in strip bars during my Navy days. The atmosphere is very loud with blackened out high industrial ceilings and no sound proofing. Music videos blasted on sun washed out projection screens when we arrived on a Saturday at 530 PM to a quarter filled capacity. By 630, the place was packed with no seating available. I should define packed: they used every inch of space leased so that the back to back tables and chairs had patrons bumping into each other frequently. Just about everything was themed black. The dark wood tables had a portable butane burner with adjustable semi Teflon aluminum flat and wide hot plate fixed on top of it. A small metal bowl was placed under the tilted apparatus to catch grease from the cooking process. Although the booth tables had ANSUL (fire extinguishing) systems over them for the same exact set up, the floor tables did not. Curiously, it should be noted, this seems questionable since the portable and unsecured to the table burners are open flame fed by bottled compressed gas (or at least I hope it wasnt pressurized liquid fuel as used in this similar looking Coleman Camp Stove style). Frankly, a disaster waiting to happen in this dark, crowded and egress constrained establishment. As we sat down a 20ish year old waiter wearing the restaurants uniform style cross between Air Force and Boy Scout eccentricity, asked for our drink order. We were offered our menus later, so we asked for water. Before we ordered, other waiters started bringing stuff out. Three daikon radish condiments: julienne in semi sweet vinegar, small chunky slices in brown rice vinegar and soy, and large thin tart slices the size almost of bologna with the same pink color as sushi ginger. Also there was a bowl of green leaf salad tossed in a simple Asian dressing, sauce condiments of very salty sesame oil, hot chili sauce, Korean Red BBQ sauce and a wet rice paper sheet cube. Chopped jalapeos and raw sliced garlic rounded out the placement with small metal dishes to eat from. Chopsticks, forks and straws were placed in a metal cup. Then we ordered. For $19 each we tried the all you can eat of 6 various meats with sidesthe later of which we apparently had already been placed. The stove was then turned on to heat. Put at the end of the grill were bean sprouts and kimchi. The first meat to come out was the frozen brisket curls. I know this because I asked. In fact, I had to ask about everything. The waiter spoke good English like any Asian American High Schooler, but apparently he either had a social phobia or was just there working in his uninterested after school job. In other words, I regress to the antediluvian reference. That being the Age era before Noahs flood, it must have really sucked just like this guys service. I didnt realize they were going to take their establishment name so seriously. After the first meat had been checked on and flipped a few times as different waiters passed by without instruction, information or attendants conversation, our patient waiting took mimic from neighboring tables. Thank goodness we had once eaten at an attentive and delicious Korean BBQ House in Vegas. Being a Chef, we started to help ourselves knowing that if the meat stayed on the constantly adjusted flame, it would defiantly be cooked to shoe leather. Only after we had finished half of that generous portion did a miraculous thing happen. Our original waiter showed up and asked what we wanted next. Knowing of the pork belly from reviews and the actual reason for wanting to come here, I ordered. The flame never heated up the black painted aluminum plate well enough, no iron here, so the fatty pork basically stewed in the heat of its own frozen juices instead of rendering its fat. All of the meats did this. The other meats we had were a pretty tasty chicken breast and another marinated pork belly. Thanks to a more talkative waiter who would come by from time to time to cut up our meats with scissors at our table top hot plate, we were able to at least try a couple things. But the napkin holder 6 meat menu descriptions left much to be desired. The names did not translate into English and definitions were vague without origin of species. When we had had quite enough of the whole experience, the AWOL waiter showed up and asked if we wanted anything else. Nope, just the check. And literally as mute server was coming with that and directly behind butt bumping the friendlier waiter, the more courteous guy asked us if we wanted something else like fried rice. What the …? I signed the check, added a $3 tip on the $42 bill because I felt at least I should give something for the other guys scissor skills. Then we made our obstructed exit through the now packed caf that was so loud it drowned out the blasting disco music. The gauntlet of getting through the unyielding young bodies were reminiscent of those of my own disco days trying to herald a drink at the bar, was a welcome relief upon seeing daylight and fresh air again. As one reviewer once wrote of another establishment experience, it was so bad that it was funny until I had time to think about it, I too feel that way. But the true humor is that when I checked my statement to see that the billing had correctly been applied and withdrawn, the tip amount was not taken out. And they were insulted at the gratuity? When you read the reviews about this place, think about it. The service is not real great and there is nothing remarkable about unseasoned food cooked on a camp stove. Many large groups go here and I guess that is the reason to frequent because of friend gatherings where you can drink and eat in a bar like setting. My advice, just go to a bar like setting where you can eat and drink with large groups of friendswithout having to plan a fire escape route.
It’s a pretty unique place- good place for a group of people but might be too loud for families or older people.
HORRIBLE SERVICE! So many friends and family recommended we go but we went with great intentions to celebrate a graduation and had 3 babies with us to enjoy ….they treated us poorly. Sat us far back and when they brought out meat out they didn’t help flip & cut the meat. They didn’t bring out ANY items we requested or ordered…literally just sat beside our table and ate. None of our questions were taken serious they didn’t want to do their job. NEVER AGAIN IN LIFE !
Great & Consistent!. I’ve become a huge fan of Iron Age over the past few years and will continue to be! The service is always top notch (with side dishes, beverages and meats being continuously replenished), the meats are fantastic and the atmosphere is fun, loud and inviting! As you enter, there’s a huge screen playing various Korean music videos to keep you entertained. You can either dine in one of the semi-private seating areas or in the main dining area. There are various flavors of pork belly, with the garlic being my favorite, followed by the wine and soybean. At the end of your meal, don’t forget to ask for the fried rice & grab an ice cream cone on your way out to end the night. There are now two options of KBBQ-1. beef brisket and pork belly 2. beef brisket, pork belly, chicken and 3-4 different kinds of meat for about $2-3 more which in my opinion is the much better value! Not a fan of their rising prices, but will still be back on a regular basis bellavivere.blogspot.com
