Food was fantastic the experience was amazing and I had fun with my family for my birthday the customer service was amazing I love the energy the decorating was fabulous and compliments to the chef

It's all you can eat kbbq- so you know you're really just going there to see how full of meat you can stuff yourself for 30 bucks. As such, I'm not really grading based off the quality of meat. The meat tastes good enough (sure, you can definitely get fresher, more tender meat at other restaurants), but the side dishes are nice, the japchae and zucchini are AMAZING, the atmosphere is roisterous, the vibes are good. Even though it's always so packed and busy, the staff still do their best to provide quality service. Other reviews address the cleanliness of the establishment, which I admit could be held to a bit of a higher standard. But for all you can eat k-bbq with your friends, this place is a fine choice.

My husband and I came with a few of our friends because I was craving Korean BBQ. One of our friends came early to put their name on the waitlist since I don't believe they take reservations. The wait was about 45 mins to an hour so not the worst but thank goodness for our friend who came early! Parking was fairly easy since there is street parking as well as additional parking in the back of the restaurant (yes, the lot within the Jewel Osco shopping center). The food was delicious! We had one of our friends order everything and yum! Everything from the sides to the meat, there wasn't one thing that I disliked so will I be back again whenever I'm craving Korean BBQ? Absolutely! I will say that the restaurant wasn't the greatest when it came to the vents, especially with all the smoke from the cooking at each table but what can ya do.

Iron age has an excellent deal on korean barbecue, and it's very dependable. I've been to both the wicker park and glenview locations several times, and it's always a good time. The ambiance is definitely a little more cozy and relaxed at wicker park, while the glenview location is a lot bigger and has more going on. The all you can eat deals are really impressive. Around $22 for lunch and $29 for dinner, plus a decent and well-priced drinks menu. I love getting the beef bulgogi and spicy pork bulgogi, the beef brisket is decent too but definitely more of a plain flavor. I would definitely recommend this place, and I know I will be back some time soon!

My cousin LOVES KBBQ on a charcoal grill. LOL. They wouldn't seat us until the full party was present. Anywho, we were the last ones in the group to arrive lol There were a lot of us, so we had one half the table grilling their meats and the other half grilling their own as well. My side of the table got two kinds of chicken, pork belly, bulgogi, and some other kind of marinated pork. I've been to some KBBQ spots where it's not marinated so I appreciated all the flavors. It was a lot of food and everything was delicious! Staff came around on occasion to check on us. It's a busy place that's great for groups. It never got packed but they do have other locations in the city. They were showing K-pop music videos a couple different walls which was a fun vibe! There's a parking lot at the back but we found parallel across the street. Wouldn't mind coming back!
