I've been coming to this Iron Age location for years, and honestly out of all the KBBQ spots I've tried, nothing beats this one. Everything is consistently on point, from the sides to the meat selection, and the portions are just right. I always start with their salad, it has a subtle spicy kick that makes it super refreshing and perfect for cleansing your palate between bites. The kimchi is amazing, and all of their pickled vegetables are just as satisfying. For meats, I always go for the beef brisket. If I had to pick one meat to eat forever, it would be that, no question. It's flavorful, cooks perfectly, and never disappoints. Their drinks are just as good. I usually get the peach or mango soju cocktails, they come in a big glass with shot glasses on the side, but don't expect a harsh kick. They're smooth, slightly sweet, and easy to enjoy. If you're looking for something stronger, the white peach sake is a great option, it comes in a bottle with glasses to share and definitely hits a bit more. They also have a solid beer selection, and their four different sauces all bring something unique to the table, each one is worth trying. Service is another reason I keep coming back. The staff is always attentive, friendly, and quick to help without being overbearing. And if you visit on your birthday and show proof, they'll bring out a complimentary non-alcoholic champagne, I'll let you experience the fun of how they do it for yourself. Highly recommend this place, it truly deserves more 5-star reviews. read more

This review is specifically for the one visit I went recently last Friday on 9/18/26 and we went around noon. I'll preface by saying that this is our usual location and we frequent the restaurant. This time we went, it was 4 of us, my husband and in laws, which are seniors. Our usual go to meats are thick cut pork belly, bulgogi, Iron Age steak, and spicy chicken. Since we went at noon, we knew we couldn't order the iron age steak as it was lunchtime, unless we paid for the dinner price. We decided not to on our own and then started ordering the meats. The service was fine and there was no complaints about that. Apparently, there has been policy changes. One of them is that they will charge 20% tip for parties of 4 or more. IMO, that's excessive, but not a huge deal. My biggest complaint this day was when they brought the machine to have us pay. We were charged for dinner price because we were there on Friday and regardless of the time, dinner price is charged because Friday is considered a weekend. I'm not sure who really considers Fridays as a weekend, but that's what we were told. I wish they would've told us before so that if that was the case, we would've ordered some Iron Age steak. So that's all I have to say. I'm not writing them off, but I'm just writing this review as a PSA. Expect to pay for dinner if you go there on Friday afternoon, and I hope this helps anyone out there that wasn't aware of these ridiculous policy changes. read more

Service was top tier Carvel was our server and it was a phenomenal experience. Overall outstanding service can't stress enough the service we received from Carvel was unlike any service i've ever received at any restaurant. Made our easter lunch and day! would recommend any day. (Food was outstanding but Carvel costumer service made the meal for the incredible service) 10/10 read more

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!! read more

Great price for all you can eat KBBQ in this economy. However, the quality of meats are generally on the lower end for some reason. They usually come out tougher or less flavorful than other KBBQ spots around the area. Not sure why, but everything else is standard otherwise. Reliable choice if you want to fill your stomach with meat, but there are better options if you are aiming for taste. Service depends on server - generally good, but can get rough when things are busy. It's also dark and can get pretty loud. read more

Not as good as I remember, but still decent! I thought the brisket could've been softer and more tender. The hawaiian bulgogi was delicious, but the regular bulgogi was on the drier side. My favorite meat was the spicy pork belly! So flavorful and the texture was great. I also loved the top blade - it was surprisingly thick, but tender and juicy when cooked medium rare. The banchans were great - japchae was tasty and I loved the kimchi. Service was quick and our server was pretty attentive. Ambiance was ok, but the place can get loud when it's busy. Luckily, the restaurant was quite empty on a Sunday around 12 pm. I enjoyed my lunch here, but would not come back as I have other Korean bbq go-to's. read more

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. read more

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! read more

Updated review from last year: Not much has changed expect the price is now $32 a person for dinner service. Still good food and server was very attentive this time. They did a happy birthday thing 3 times which was SUPER loud but besides that it was a good time. read more

I went with my family for the first time and it was horrible, we sat down and the table had two pans to cook our own food, well one of those didn't work, I asked 3 times to move us out of the table, 3 guys came in to try to fix it, they couldnt, the server offered to cook to food at another table and bring it to us, of course food was cold, they brought the meat but didnt ask us if we wanted something to drink, then we had to ask another server to take our drink order, overall a disaster. Waste of $200. by the way they offered us free drinks because of the huge mess up. thats why I'm giving them 1 star read more

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) read more

We have tried Iron Age from a different location and was not impressed compared to So restaurant. However when we found out that we had to make a reservation at So for a party of 8, we have to come up with a back up plan and since Iron Age Centreville is nearby, we decided to go there instead. The wait time was only for less than 30 minutes. We didn't wait inside the restaurant, but we received a text message once our table was ready. Normally, Iron Age has 2 menus for All You Can Eat buffet. All You Can Eat B is for $20 and does not have seafood in it, while All You Can Eat A is $25 and has seafood on their menu. Once we are seated, we were informed by our server that since it is a holiday when we ate there, there's no AYCE B option. We can only order from AYCE A. This was annoying because we never intended to order seafood. Like most Korean BBQ restaurants, we were expecting a lot of banchan (side dishes), but we were surprised that we were only 4 banchan available when we were seated. However you can order kimchi, japchae, rice cakes, from the menu as side dishes. I kind of like it cos there's not a lot of waste of food. I just wish that they also have mashed potatoes or fish cakes in their banchan menu. As for our food, we ordered pork belly and beef brisket, We loved it and we kept ordering it a few times. This was kind of the reason why we we only wanted the AYCE B because we didn't want anything else but the belly and the brisket. We enjoyed our meal since our foods were delicious. The only thing my friends didn't like was the undercooked rice. When we told the staff about it, they immediately exchanged it, but it was still undercooked. Until this day, I still don't understand the hype with Iron Age. I still prefer So whenever we are in NorVa. However I still recommend Iron Age for the Korean BBQ experience, read more

The food here is delicious and the service is always great when we come here! I suggest coming earlier in the day as it gets crazy packed later in the evening usually 6pm and later. I do wish for the sides there were options for the corn cheese and the potatoes. Otherwise they have a great drink selection and the food is delicious! read more

I give this place a 4 star review because limited selections on meat, no corn cheese and we had to cook our own meat. The service was amazing and do recommend people to go to this location. read more

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! read more

I have been to Iron Age several times before COVID and I always have a wonderful experience. Unlike other Korean BBQ places, Iron Age has a Kpop party feel so expect that the place can get loud due to Korean pop music continuous playing in the background. Due to COVID restrictions, Iron Age has made their all you can eat menu available online. Guests are now expected to watch the meat cooking although our server stopped by every now and then to make sure the BBQ wasn't burning. During my most recent visit, we ordered Beef Brisket, Beef Bulgogi, and Top Blade Steak. We also requested for rice, steamed egg, japchae, and vegetables. Our orders came in right away and we had an amazing experience. I'd love to return soon! read more

If I could give this zero stars I would. This place used to be good & the service was even better.... AFTER this time I went I will NEVER go back. I brought my mother and my family here, it was seven of us. Our server was acting as if he was uninterested in his job. He did not pass out the waters did not fill our sauce did not change the hot plate out after multiple rounds of meat.. we had to basically serve ourselves. I will not be coming back here after this. Have a blessed day.... read more

My friends and I went to this restaurant yesterday afternoon. It was completely dead but it took them 15 minutes for the staff to seat us. We had some questions and the waiter was very rude and kept saying 'what do you want?'. We were all appalled. We had never seen such horrible customer service. The kimchi was very sour. It's so dark in the restaurant that you can barely see a few feet in front of you. We ended up not staying for our whole meal because of our waiters attitude, how long it took to get us water once we finally sat down (25 minutes) and for how long it took us to be sat when there were plenty of tables to choose from. Do no go here. It's not worth it at all. read more

Iron Age Centreville is always my go to for AYCE Korean BBQ. Sure, in this area, there are plenty of other spots, but this Iron Age provides a consistent experience. Went on a Thursday for an early dinner. We were one of the first few tables as they were starting dinner service. Good thing about going early is the music is not blasting. The restaurant started to get full as the night went on. I feel like since the pandemic, Iron Age simplified their menu with one option for lunch and dinner. That being said, for the price point ($29), you get a good variety of meat. The quality of the meat is on par with other KBBQ, but I prefer Iron Age's brisket. They have a decent drink menu, and for a beer tower is a good price. Service was excellent yesterday (shoutout to our server Janet) and way better than most times I come here. As always, we left full and satisfied. read more

Came to Iron Age with a large group of 12. Unfortunately our table had to split up because they wouldn't allow us to use the front party room so the entire group could sit together. Parties over 8 make sure you ask during reservations if your group will be all together or split up! Food was good, but you're mainly coming here for the experience. Iron Age is a mix between the Melting Pot and Fogo de Chao - you have to cook your meat but you can order as much carne as you want (no more than 3 types at a time) all while listening to K-Pop. Sides for lunch include salad with a spicy dressing (if you like spice this is the hottest condiment they carry), white rice, spicy rice cakes (not really spicy and look more like mini sponge cake spheres haha), noodles, steamed eggs, kimchi, and an assortment of pickled veggies. Our favorites were the beef and Hawaiian bulgolgi, spicy pork steak and beef brisket. The chicken is ok, but takes a while to cook - especially if you have a paranoid table mate who doesn't want to end up with food poisoning. Lol. However, staff are happy to come by and help you cook. Also note - they cannot split the bill more than 8 times so keep that in mind for your big parties! read more

Ambiance (5/5): This place is amazing! We came here for my boyfriend's 30th birthday, and we all had a blast! It felt like a club with all K-pop blasting! The lighting was dark but the tv screens with the music videos lit up the entire place with cool colors! It was AMAZING! I didn't know where to look! There was so much going on! The food was AMAZING! I have never eaten that much meat in 1.5 hours in my life. Pricing (5/5): We got a bit of everything, including the seafood menu (it's extra) because we had some pescatarians with us. The normal menu (without seafood) is $28 a person. Time Limit (4/5): Due to covid (I think), they limit your group's time to 1.5 hours. There is no reservations either. You need to show up and put yourself on their waitlist and will only be seated if your entire party is there. Equipment (3/5): One of our burners didn't work well, so the staff had to keep coming over to fix it. But the other burner worked so we had to cook most of our food on 1 (table of 8). It took longer, but it was still fun! Safety (3/5): One thing to note, the floors are VERY slippery because of all the cooking smoke/grease. We had to be careful not to slip when going to the bathroom or entering/exiting. I almost face-planted a few times. You will need to wash your clothes the second you get home because of how much meat smoke is on it. Definitely worth it though. I cannot wait to go back! It was epic! When you go, you HAVE to try the bulgogi! It was DELICIOUS! read more

The food was ok. I called earlier in the day to ask about my 2 girls. - They do not eat much. They are ages 1 and 3. When I called, the person said that they would eat for free. As I suspected, each child ate less than 5 bites. When we went to check out, our server charged us for one free child and one child who is ages 4-7. The server told us that because she is a day older than 3 she rounds up to 4. My husband fought it with the manager who told us that it's policy that she is charged as a four year old, even though she is three years old. This manager took the charge off for us "this one time". I will never be back. It's not about the money, it's about the staff not sticking with their own policies and arguing with the customer about a price that they put on their menu. read more

I love their brisket , i recommend their steaks in menu very delicious and juicy!

Price is cheaper than other korean restaurants. And by the way we ordered Mango Soju while eating pork steak read more

Battle of the Centreville KBBQs and, unfortunately, Iron Age just didn't cut it, literally and figuratively. Sad face. Read on for details. Overall, IA is a 2 1/2 stars but I have to round down to 2 because even a half star bump would be too generous. First time at IA, the server even asked if it was our first time so he had every opportunity to wow us. Sadly, he did not. But it wasn't even the service that was lacking. It was a myriad of things that added up to a "been there, done that, won't be coming back" experience for us. Here's a list: * Quality of the meats - all the cuts we ordered (we had 4 of the cuts we usually order at a KBBQ) were well inferior to Honey Pig (our hands down fave) and SO (runner up favorite) * Banchan (side veggie dishes) stinginess lol - 3 small dishes to start and, get this, you have to ASK for kimchi wt?! And the server wouldn't give us extra of a banchan unless we finished what we were given. Yes mother. Lol. * They didn't have the "standard" bean paste tofu hot pot stew that is served at Honey Pig and SO. So disappointed. They did have the egg soufflé hot pot (it's on the side dishes menu so you have to know to ask for it separately - it's part of the All You Can Eat (AYCE) menu but you have to ask) * Service was lacking. It wasn't horrible and our server did a walk by regularly BUT we definitely didn't feel the love like we do at Honey Pig (the ladies who cook your meats are skilled and experienced, you can tell - you truly feel like you have a private chef assigned to your table!) and at SO, all the young servers are attentive and any of them if you flag them down, will be at your beckon call. * The grill plate used to cook the meats are not changed out after each grilling session. Our 3 meat choices were cooked sequentially but were allllllll cooked on the same grill plate! Wt?! By the time we got through our 3rd meat, the grill plate was literally caked with thick black char, the meats on the charred grill of course retain the charred flavor and the whole seating area smelled of burned char! Unacceptable. In addition, the meats are not removed from the grill after they've finished cooking - the meat just sits on the grill continuing to cook and burn. SO changes out their grill plates after each meat is grilled AND the servers remove the cooked meats from the grill to a serving platter. This also allows the next meat to start to be cooked. Honey Pig has a big-@ss giant Teflon coated grill plate as big as 10 heads lol and they can cook a TON of different meats on it at the same time. The only thing I can think of as to why IA does this is because it helps slow down the All You Can Eat process and is less work for their staff = cost savings for them. We ordered the Iron Age Soy Beef Steak thinking we were really going to be treated to one of their signature meats. So disappointed. The meat came out as a single steak. It was put on a special mesh screen placed on the fire. While cooking, the server cut the steak into pieces that were much too large to eat in a single bite. Plus - the meat was INCREDIBLY TOUGH, LOADED WITH FAT, very inferior cut of meat with practically no flavor. When I asked for knives so we could further cut the meat on our plate, the server came back after literally 5 minutes to tell me they don't have knives! Srsly? Instead he used the scissors to cut our meat chunks which, in the end, were literally inedible. Iron Age has reduced their AYCE price from $28 to $25. A coincidence? Dunno. But SO increased their AYCE price from $25 to $28. It's true - the price is enticing and you absolutely can't beat a $25 AYCE price - even with subpar service, chintzy side dishes and low qual cuts of meat. So in that sense, Iron Age will still attract customers iso cheap eats. But for the best value, SO's $3 price premium is soooooooo (pun intended ha!) worth it for AYCE. (Be prepared for a wait to be seated at SO though - there's a reason why you see all the Koreans flocking to SO and Honey Pig!) Side note on Honey Pig - they have BY FAR, HANDS DOWN THE BEST cuts of beef BUT they do not do AYCE. Their best value KBBQ item is the Beef Combo Special which is enough meat for 3 or 4 people, depending on how hungry everyone is. I'd say the only redeeming qualities of IA were its impressive interior and ambience (very hip vibe, dark lighting like you're walking into a nightclub), the fact that they are adhering to covid protocol for restaurants (temp checks at the door and leaving every other table vacant) and the $25 AYCE price point. It's really just a matter of if you're only goal is to pig-out on red meat and you don't really care about the quality of the meats. For me, my mind has been made up. Sorry, Iron Age. :( read more

Live the ambiance! Food is always amazing and variety of options for everyone! Maybe not vegans.

Came here on a Tuesday for dinner. This was my first experience at Korean BBQ and I have nothing but positivity to spread. It is $29 per person, but it's all you can eat. They have several different meats you can choose from! I enjoyed the Iron Age steak, shrimp, and bulgogi. The idea of cooking the food yourself was very exciting to me, but don't fret. The server will come over occasionally and help you and guide. The service was great too. He was always checking to see if we wanted more meats, sides, or sauces. I'm excited to try different locations! read more

Disclaimer: This review was sitting in my drafts from August 2022 and I see it never got posted; I'm posting it now in February 2023. Maybe things have changed but I'm not going back to find out. TL;DR - slow and unfriendly service, laughably bad management, items taken off menu, forced gratuity for parties of 4+ (instead of 6+ as it says on their menu), diarrhea for everyone who had japchae. 5.5 years ago, I came to Iron Age for consolation right after my dad had passed away. I still remember the table i was sitting at. I associated Korean bbq with comfort and being able to lift my mood, and I still do. Iron Age used to be pretty good in service, pricing, and tastiness of food, and that made it a pretty reliable choice for good food and good times. A couple weeks ago, I came to Iron Age again for consolation, right after my second dog had to be put down just a month after my first dog. I was a mess, and my bf and two of my best friends and I turned to food for comfort as we tend to do. It was a Monday around 3pm, so not really crowded, yet our server rarely came by. Any time he did, our needs had piled up because things were running low, refills were needed, etc. and he wasn't coming around often enough to stay on top of it. He acted really annoyed by us for some reason; it was really bizarre. All four of us have been in the food industry and could empathize with an off day. But what rubbed us the wrong way was that when my friend was paying for the bill, he noticed that 20% gratuity had been included even though we were a party of 4, and the menu said that only applies to parties of 6+. We asked the manager about why the gratuity was included, and he didn't offer any solutions at all. Just a "sorry about it, but we have a sign posted saying parties of 4+." None of us even saw this sign. And the MENU says 6+. When we pointed this out, he started getting aggressive with us, it was bewildering. He begrudgingly said he would take the gratuity off. When he returned the receipts to us, my friend asked which receipt he was supposed to sign, because they all had signature lines on them and some were for the refund, some were for the new bill. The manager then got VERY condescending, talking down to my friend like he was an idiot. I snapped out of my depressive stupor and said, "I don't know why you're trying to argue with us right now." and he got belligerent, legitimately yelling at us, saying "YOU'RE the ones coming at ME right now!" It was just wild--this guy is a manager? Were we on a prank show? My bf tried to be diplomatic and say we weren't attacking him personally, and we were just trying to point out the inconsistency between what it says on the menu and what it says on this alleged sign posted somewhere indoors about gratuity. My bf also mentioned that industry standard regarding automatic gratuity is typically for parties of 6 or more. The manager got huffy and was like "oh yeah?! Well, what about Chasin Tails?!" My guy, first of all, anecdotal evidence is not evidence. Secondly, at least their signs are posted everywhere (including online and in email blasts), and the information is consistent. Thirdly, they have such great customer service that I don't mind it anyway, which is more than I can say for Iron Age. I personally regularly tip 25% or more--20% even for bad service. But it was the principle that really made me mad for this occasion. The inconsistency, the stubborn refusal of providing good customer service, the aggression--even though we would have tipped 20% to begin with anyway. In terms of their menu, they've consolidated the two separate menus into 1 menu. They've also gotten rid of the spicy rice cake. Their Iron Age steak is still good, but their pork steaks are mid. Brisket is hard to mess up. Their bulgogi was also subpar, and not really an authentic cut of the meat. The manager was a guy in his late 20's or early 30's, round glasses, round face, kinda bowl cut hair. Didn't get his name, unfortunately, but I am never coming back to this Iron Age to find out. To top it off, when we went home, 3 out of the 4 of us had diarrhea later that night. The only thing the 3 of us ate that the 4th didn't was the japchae. read more

I rarely say this about korean bbq spots since I've been to quite a few in this area, but service was AMAZING!! I've been to the Rockville location too and thought the food quality was similar, but service was not good there. My group went around 4 pm on a Saturday night because we knew it was AYCE and we didn't want to have food comas too late in the day. We quickly got seated and chose Menu B which offers less items, but is still a pretty good value at $20/person. I've gotten Menu A before ($5 more pp) and didnt think it was worth it. BTW, the whole table has to order from the same menu so choose wisely! Our group's go to were the following: Hawaiian bulgogi (x2), beef brisket (x3), spicy pork belly, and soy chicken. We ordered many side orders of rice and japchae (my personal favorite!). I enjoyed the brisket and bulgogi the most. Most of the meats, besides the chicken, are pretty fatty, but tasty. I pick around the fat, especially in the brisket and pork belly. Our server, Juhnho, is the reason why I'm giving this visit 5 stars. He was really energetic, funny, and was on top of our orders and refills! read more

My son chose this spot for his 21st birthday dinner and it was fantastic! He and I had dined there before but the other three in our party had not - including one less adventurous eater. We ordered off the dinner menu and bought a beer tower, which was so much fun. 2 liters of beer in a tabletop chiller with a tap! We enjoyed beef, pork, chicken, shrimp and squid in various marinades, and had a blast grilling them at the table, and sides including japchae, pickled vegetables and steamed rice. Food is great, service is good even when the place is super busy, and prices are very reasonable. Highly recommended! read more

I've bee here a few times with my boyfriend. They're always really attentive and come around a few times to make sure you don't need any help cooking or if you want to order more food. The servers are nice and don't rush you at all. Once we showed up an hour before closing and ,unlike other places, they didn't give you an attitude about it or come around reminding you that they're closing soon. It's a solid option, good food, cool aesthetic. read more
