This review is long over due! January brings so many wonderful things to celebrate for me and my family. Iron Age has been our go to celebration dinner spot for ages! This Korean BBQ place knows how to really deliver on quality and taste! Service is consistent and pleasant. I am sort of a veteran at this location so I usually know to what to expect, when it comes to meat options but there is digital menu to scan that has all the information someone who has never visited a Korean BBQ. This location has plenty parking in the plaza as well as in front of the restaurant itself. The ambiance is dark with K-pop music videos playing on big screens. It's a perfect place to hold a quick get to gather with family, friends or colleagues! Highly recommend their beef brisket and Iron Age steak!!
Went as soon as they opened, so not crowded. Awesome everything and attentive staff. Asked for a few sauces not on the menu and they brought them out no problem.
I've been going to Iron Age since I was in college. I've been a big fan of the spicy sauce and haven't found anything quite like it at similar kbbq places, but maybe that's just me. I love the beef brisket and pork belly most, and the salad side dish has a great dressing. As far as the service, I felt a little bit like our main server was... hmm. I mean, he was fast at least! I think the 2nd one made me feel more welcome (when no one's got me I know Yullee's got me) If you haven't been to iron age before, know that it's a bit dim outside of your table, and they've got kpop music videos playing on screens around the room. It can be hard to hear, but overall I've always liked the experience. The darkness helps me forget there's other people around. What could improve? Well, more napkins from the start feels kind of necessary given the messy nature of the cooking and the sauce all happening in front of you. I also wish iron age had galbi. Most of the screens were tinted blue if you care about that. The bathroom only had those awkward Dyson hand dryers that make you feel like you're two centimeters from touching the germy equivalent of the bathroom floor (pic attached for reference of the type of hand dryer I'm talking about)
We went in at 4pm for an early dinner. We were acknowledged by a server and a host came shortly after that to show us our table. We may have been lucky, but our server was simply fantastic. He was quick, friendly and super helpful. The wait between meats were short, we appreciated his feedback on the meats and how to cook them. He even mentioned a few places we should check out around centreville. The ambiance was as it typically is, fast paced and Korean pop on all TV's. I truly recommend this location and hope you get a great server like ours!
The Iron Age here is pretty good, overall I think the selection was a good variety. I do miss marinated beef though. The service was great, I believe the person helping us was Trinity! I would definitely come here and recommend it
Iron Age Centreville has become my go-to spot for Korean BBQ, especially for those who don't eat too much beef or pork. Their chicken options are plentiful and delicious! While I haven't tried many other Korean BBQ places, the chicken here seems very good quality. Chicken & Banchan Stand Out: Chicken Paradise: As a non-beef and pork eater, I appreciate their wide variety of chicken options. They're flavorful and perfectly cooked. Side Dish Symphony: The side dishes (banchan) are truly amazing! From the refreshing salad to the fluffy steamed egg, everything is delicious and well-prepared. The Teokbeokki is to die-for. It's one of the best selections I've seen at a Korean BBQ restaurant. Flavor & Value: Saucy Success: Their sauces are fantastic and pair beautifully with the meats. Korean BBQ Lite: Having recently returned from Korea, the marinated meats here aren't quite the same quality as those in Korea (of course!). However, for the price point, the all-you-can-eat option is a great value. Ambiance & Service: Iron Age Vibes: The restaurant has a unique, dark, and rustic ambiance that fits the "Iron Age" theme. Attentive Staff: The staff is very friendly and attentive, especially helpful for first-time Korean BBQ diners. They'll help you cook your meat to avoid burning! A Note on Locations: Centreville vs. Annandale: It's worth mentioning that the Centreville location might have slightly lower quality meat compared to the Annandale branch.
Joeji I've been to a few KBBQ places, including the Iron Age in Annandale. All the steaks they had were juicy, seasoned, and flavorful with the marinade. There wasn't a difference in the meats/quality compared to the Annandale location, tasting good. What stood out to me was the service by Joeji. He was friendly, gave tips on cooking, and seemed happy to serve us. Our drinks and sauces were always refilled. He would check on us while we were cooking since we weren't professionals. I'd drive 40 minutes to have Joeji serve us again!
