Took a look at the menu and noticed the Combo Special prices went up again, since the last time we came to this restaurant! The Beef Bulgogi and Tofu Soup combo showed a price of $37.99! I recall it being $28.99 - $34.99 in the past 2-3 years! Dunno why the prices keep going up, but that's something we realized while checking out the menu, which has been pretty much the same ever since the first time. Our complimentary fried fish and side dishes were dropped off at our table shortly after placing our food order. Then about 10 minutes later, we received the Bibimbap and Beef Bulgogi. Seemed like the meat dish's portion size dropped once again! It used to be a bigger sized plate, if I remember correctly... Anyway, we enjoyed our food and atmosphere while we dined in. Service was great, as usual. But the prices keep going up, so we do not drop by as often as before.

Ok, do you like simple Korean food? Do you like to not have to travel to Lakewood or Federal Way…read morefor Korean food? Do you also not like to look at overwhelming menu because the traditional Korean restaurants would have 3-4 pages of menu, which entails food items that typical Americans would not think about eating? Well, I'd say you're in the right place for visiting Iron Pot! Fun fact: the restaurant interior looked like a bar in the former life. I will be frank: I was doubtful about this place at first because I honestly thought the place was gonna be some Americanized Korean restaurant with little portions served and what not. However, I was actually impressed with the whole menu, the service, and the food! My friend and I were seated quickly because we entered right before lunch rush hour. After that, we were given menus and ordered our food shortly. I was caught by surprise when I saw the Banchan dishes were actually decently looking good! Next, my friend ordered Kalbi Beef rice plate, and I had to order the Bibimbap bowl. Everything tasted perfect! We really enjoyed our experience lots. 10/10 will come back to try more dishes.

We tried again a week or so later as my work is close by and we wanted something quick and affordable as we had a comedy show to go to afterwards. As we entered, we were the only ones and we were greeted warmly by the sushi chef and our waitress. Our waitress told us to pick any table we'd like and she brought us menus. Once we had ample time to glance over the menu which honestly had the right amount of items, I got the udon and shrimp tempura while my boyfriend got their Philadelphia roll and chicken katsu. Our waitress asked if we were fine with water and I didn't see a drink section on the menu but they do offer fountain drinks, canned drinks and hot tea. The inside is small but it's cozy and initmate. They have K-pop playing in the background with the music video. There is a good mix of natural lighting from the sun and inside. The bathroom was clean and well-maintained. We received our roll and shrimp tempura first, udon next and finally the chicken katsu. The katsu sauce here is one of the best katsu sauce we've ever had as it had a perfect balance of tangy, sweet and savory flavors. There was a lot of katsu and my boyfriend said the only complaint was he wished there was a bit more rice as the ratio was off. I loved my udon, they give a generous portion of fish cakes, fish balls and a piece of shrimp tempura as well as plenty of tempura flakes. I do wish there was a bit more noodles but that was my only real complaint. The shrimp tempura was good but I do wish there was a bit more sauce. My boyfriend's roll was delicious and fresh! Their hot green tea was also comforting and delightful! The service here is pleasant as our waitress was kind and checked in on us often. She was also courteous and professional with other customers. We look forward to coming back whenever we're hungry for good and affordable sushi and Korean food.

The cashier/server is very sweet! She made sure we were satisfied with our sushi and kept coming back to check in on us. The place is cute inside, it was actually very roomy, has a lot of natural light and they had some K-pop videos playing in the background. The restaurant is tucked away near the closed down Old Country Buffett in Kent East Hill. I really should've tried coming here instead of traveling to Renton for some sushi! But I will definitely return for more of their delicious sushi!!! I would definitely give them a try if you're in the area.

Service is efficient and friendly enough, and the decor is Hanok-charm. My dad taught me how to enjoy this with radish kimchi, and he told me both the soup AND the radish kimchi have to be good, or don't bother. This place has never failed my household and has been consistent, even after the new ownership years ago. Each rice/noodle/broth bite is like being hugged by a Teddy bear, and with the crunchy (maybe even lightly pickled?) radish kimchi... how could you not want to eat here? I would not sniff at the handmade mandoo... those dumplings didn't come from a frozen package from HMart, so make sure you get at least a 6 pc order in. The shoyu-based dipping sauce is optional, really. You could enjoy with or without it. Tip: add a little bit of the radish kimchi brine to your soup broth for a next level spicy flavor bomb bite. You won't be sorry.

They did apologize a few times and tell us there would be a table soon. Not a lot of space to stand and wait :/ Then it cleared out like crazy. No one really checked in on us to take our order for a while though, we had to flag someone down. They served us hot tea and it was SO HOT, def a burn hazard- took a while to cool. Food was great! I like that they have knife cut noodle soup and the broth is flavorful (no salt so you add as you wish!) The kimchi is homemade and tastes amazing- gives flavor to the broth too! Would go again. Maybe not Sunday at 6pm tho.

Great spot for Korean BBQ with premium cuts of meat. It's an ideal location for a date night or…read morejust an occasion to treat yourself. A party of 2 or more is recommended for the kbbq because of the amount of meat that is served. They do have entree items that are perfect for one person. We tried the premium butcher feast option and it gave us some flexibility in what kinds of meat we wanted. My personal favorites is the wagyu steak and the zabuton. Super tender and soft. Some of the other meats I thought were a bit too chewy or fatty. The feast is definitely more than enough for two people. It includes side dishes, salad, tofu soup and steamed egg. The interior is very spacious, clean and modern. They did an impressive job with the menu as everything looks appetizing. I'd like to come back to try the entree dishes. Overall, the presentation looks aesthetically pleasing. It is a little more expensive compared to other kbbq spots but you are definitely paying for the quality.

I thought the…read moresnack bar had some more sauces where you could make your own but there's only one on your table labeled dipping sauce. The pork belly comes with a sauce they bring for you. Speaking of pork belly they were too chewy we cooked it for long enough and it was still very chewy. Service was trash. The lady that was our server poured all the meat on our fryer so half of the meat was stacked on top of each other so it took longer to cooked. We're already on a 90 minute time crunch. If my step dad wasn't pestering the lady for a next round they wouldn't have checked on us and we would've been waiting for 30 minutes. While we were waiting for the second round the lady told us to turn off our heater when we're not using it, the man later came and turned it back on and told us to keep it at level 400-500. The next time we got the food she tried to put all the meat on the fryer again my step dad said "It's okay we got it, thank you" she looked at us like we didn't know what we were doing. Later on she looked at how we put everything on the fryer she looked and laughed at us TWICE.

Not to mentioned, our server was amazing and patient with us since it was my first time. Although, she kinda knew us from the church she still treated us with respect like any other customer without any favoritism or whatesoever. She told me full details of the menu to which is usually ordered or popular at the moment, since I couldn't decide myself. I loved everything she recommended and can't wait to go back again. I specially loved the kalbi and pork tofu combo . We did get the stone bibimpap as well which was amazing !! And the seafood pancake .

However, I had a horrible experience with service in May. It was by far the WORST service I've ever received, even based Asian restaurant standards (iykyk). I've always had older servers, usually ladies but on occasion on gentleman. This time, it was a young girl. It was my first time seeing her there. She had no facial expression to start. And after she repeated our orders, it was incorrect so I correct her. She said "I know", and repeated the wrong order again. When I clarified by listing the correct order, she just rolled her eyes and walked away. Isn't it a server's job to take order, and make sure it's correct? I did not take away from the tips because there are other servers who helped bring our food and refill the banchans, but this encounter made me not want to go back for a while, despite how much I like the food. Management - please train your staff about customer service, especially the new hires.

I always consider trying somewhere new, but I keep coming back here whenever I want that perfect mix of side dishes, grilled fish, and meat. I highly recommend the Family Combo. For around $89, you get an incredible spread: about 8 different banchan (side dishes), grilled fish, spicy squid stir-fry, bulgogi (or spicy pork), marinated crab, and soybean paste stew. Even though I cook Korean food at home, it's a lot of work to prep this many dishes at once--this is exactly where I go when I want that "home-cooked" variety without the kitchen stress. The restaurant feels cleaner than before, and the service has gotten much friendlier. While many people come for the BBQ, the Family Combo is the hidden gem. It easily fed three of us with leftovers! At roughly $30 per person, it's unbeatable value in the Seattle area.
