I was craving skewers for a while but the spots I wanted to go to open a bit too late for me. I was…read moreactually happy to find a barbecue skewer spot on Staten Island that opens earlier for lunch so we went right when they opened and ended up being the first group there. The space is clean and spacious. Service and food came out fairly quick but the flavor just fell a bit flat. Maybe I had been craving it for too long and built up higher expectations. We ordered skewers, crab dry pot and broiled oysters but everything was pretty under seasoned. The menu has a good variety which I did appreciate and the staff is friendly overall. Service wise they do walk around but they do not really check in on you. I found myself having to wave them down whenever I needed anything even just basic water refills which made the experience a bit less enjoyable.

Placed an online order for pickup and there's a convenience fee…read more The food was lacking texture, and the flavor is not all there as well. The chives tasted off, like it's going bad. Taiwanese sausage doesn't taste how it expected it to be, not really authentic. Notable mention, the Korean rice cakes, that is the only decent one out of like 5-6 things I got. I think I'd have to try this place again in person.

I would say this place is alright ? I can't compliment much nor can I complain much as the price…read moretag on this place is pretty good. The meats for the bbq portions are not the freshest, you can taste the quality which isn't the highest. I'd say go at your own discretion. The hotpot was of course your usual hotpot, nothing to complain about as hotpot always hits. The options and choices are wide and the selection is pretty fresh when it comes to hotpot. For a party of 6 we paid around 260$ we opted for both hotpot and bbq. If I was to come again I'd say stick with just hotpot, the meats have a weird taste and you can't help but douse it in sauce to avoid tasting the unfresh meat flavor

Love going to Cast Iron Pot, but was getting tired of hauling out to the Signature past Fort Lee…read more So I was pleasantly surprised to find one closer to me in SI! Service was prompt-- we were seated almost immediately once our whole group was gathered, and immediately began to be served. Meats came out fast. They have a 3 meat at a time limit here, but given that they're doing most of the cooking for you, it helps keep things fresh and things are coming off the grill pretty quickly anyways, so the limit does not really come at the cost of velocity of consumption (if you're that kind of AYCE eater). Service here is pretty proactive, coming by regularly and taking orders promptly. We got a mix of meats and sides throughout. Pork belly is a winner, both slabs and slices. Beef intestines were not as we remembered from other locations, but nonetheless good. Sliced beef brisket and jowl are also good cuts for folks looking for something new. Not too much of a fan of marinated meets, but I'm sure they'd live up to the same level of quality too. One huge plus about this particular chain (for which you do pay a bit of a premium in the price) is that they have pretty amazingly efficient grills and vents, such that you can largely avoid smelling like your AYCE KBBQ afterwards. Pretty uncommon, and totally forgivable when it happens, but a nice plus for this place!

Lunch was 33 dollars per person.

I have had great experiences dining in and also sitting outside. The service is good. The staff have always been knowledgeable of the menu and friendly. It's pricey but worth it if you ask me :)

I had been so wanting to come here since 2019! We finally got to come and well.. It was…read moreunderwhelming. It's nice but small. We ordered a variety of things. I was disappointed on apps. We ordered the Mac and cheese with pulled pork. The Mac and cheese was somewhat mushy and no real taste. The pork was okay nothing really special about it. We also ordered crab beignets. Now I went to NAWLINS and I know a proper beignets. Idk what these things they served us were. I know for sure they were EXTREMELY GREASY!! For dinner we got a fried chicken sandwich and I got smoked chicken with potatoes. The smoked chicken was tasty but on the dry side . Difficult to pull off the bone. Potatoes I think they were suppose to be roasted and they were again in oil. The fried chicken sandwich was dark meat but it had more skin than meat . This place was unfortunately extremely disappointing . The quality of food seems not as great as I hoped.

Coordinating a group that size is never easy, but the staff was very accommodating they kept things moving, checked in often, and made sure we had what we needed. The food was a1. From the grill the short rib was the star! the hot pot miso soup was everything and satisfying just what I needed to combat the cold weather. There was plenty to go around, and the interactive cook-it-yourself vibe made it perfect for a group celebration. Definitely one of those meals where everyone is talking, laughing, and tasting a little bit of everything. That said, there were a few notes. A couple of items were brought out that we didn't order, which caused a bit of confusion at the table. Nothing major. Even with that, the experience was fun and delicious overall, and I genuinely had a great time celebrating here.

I opted for the mushroom soup and it was pretty flavorful. There are a variety of vegetables, meat, seafood, noodles, etc. to choose from. Some of my favorites include scallops, dumplings, udon, and fishballs. There is also a birthday freebie but you have to bring 3 other people with you. For $32 AYCE, it wasn't bad at all! I would return.

We decided to sit down and enjoy our coffee and dessert, the seating is in the restaurant, located in Charcoal Gardenia. The restaurant seems new because it is very clean with tasteful design choices. A very cozy Middle Eastern vibe. The cappuccino was very well made and the Dubai chocolate brownie was excellent! The restaurant seems family friendly as there were other patrons with kids that all seemed to be enjoying and having a great time. The service was great and there seemed to be enough people to be handling all the guests.

The zataar fries, pita, and some of the meat were good and made the night worthwhile. I also really liked the garlic yogurt with the rice and meat. I found a piece of hair in one of the dips towards the end of the night, and the water was strangely unclear. Service was also pretty slow, it took quite some time for someone to come in the beginning with water and to take our order on a night where it wasn't too busy. The bill included an 18% service fee which wasn't mentioned on the menu when I went nor by the staff whenever we were served. It was the first time I saw the charge included on the bill for 2 people with no advanced notice. Thought that was strange, but maybe something I'm not aware of
