We split the #4 chewy rice cakes appetizer which was delightful. It was mostly sweet but towards the end of each bite packed a spicy kick. I love the chewy texture of the rice cakes. I had a dolsot bowl for my entree. It was packed with beef, egg, and veggies. It was served hot, in a stone bowl, and was delicious! The restaurant filled up quickly but I don't think there was ever a wait. Service was quick and attentive!

We were seated right away, and the staff was super friendly from the start. The food was absolutely fantastic. We tried the bulgogi with rice and a mild sundubu, and the portion sizes were generous. Everything tasted fresh and delicious. We also really enjoyed the little side dishes--especially the kimchi, bean sprouts, and cucumbers. And the kids got a kick out of the steamed egg, which arrived so hot it looked like a little volcano steaming away. All in all, a fantastic spot to unwind and have a great meal--highly recommend

Quality of food was good...unfortunately quality of service lacked severely from my server. Reception team seemed enthusiastic, but the server was very "over it". After being brought my food- I was not checked on. No eye contact. She was very involved with the 3 other tables in her section.. difference was: they were drinking and eating for four leading to a bigger tip? I had to flag her down for additional rice and then water. Only thing I was happy with was the quality of the RibEye and the perfectly cooked rice. Upon exit: I talked with the manager (I think). Very enthusiastic guy: He offered to comp my meal- but I passed. Their food was good and I was happy to pay for it. the quality of people serving just sucked. I just didn't have the heart to NOT tip for the service I didn't get.

I can't say enough good things about our experience here! I was in town with two friends for the…read moreSouthern Christmas Show and was desperately craving Korean BBQ. Neither of my friends had ever had it, so I knew we needed an AYCE so they could try a little bit of everything. We found 704 on Yelp and headed there! It's in a big shopping center, towards the back, with tons of parking. When we walked in we were immediately greeted and seated. I told our waitress, Kim, that we had two newbies, and the rest of the meal, she was as excited as I was for them to try things! We ordered a huge variety of items, including the soups, the cheesy corn, bulgolgi, pork belly, chicken, squid... everything that looked interesting :) It was so very very tasty! Since my friends were newbies, I cooked all our meats which they loved watching happen. The team working that evening were so quick that they replaced our grill several times throughout the meal without any impact to our enjoyment. We had so much fun that my friends are super excited to come back the next time we're in town! Another super fun thing that I didn't notice until we were leaving- the walls are decorated with really interesting artwork made of crushed cans! The front walls behind the hostess stand are entirely made of crushed bottles, and we were told that the restaurant team made it all happen! It's really unique to see.

We started with the fried tteok fries, which were surprisingly light and delicious. I've only ever had tteok in stews before, so I was worried they might be hard or chewy, but they were the complete opposite--crispy, light, and really enjoyable. We also ordered the dolsot bibimbap with beef, the Japchea with beef , and a side of the daily soup, which was beef with radish. Everything was very savory without being heavy, and overall just really comforting food. On top of that, the servers were very kind and polite. We loved our experience and would definitely come back.

I called this restaurant to confirm they don't use fruit juice in their bulgogi marinade, as I'm allergic. They assured me twice that they don't. I placed a $40 order with doordash for two dishes (already ridiculous), and they called me back 10 minutes later saying they DO USE PEAR JUICE. I ask them if they use pear juice in their chicken or pork and they said yes. At no point do they offer me a refund despite it clearly being a massive shortcoming on their end, one that could've made me gravely ill. Instead I have to sub for tofu, resulting with me ending up with a $40 meal I would've never ordered in the first place! To replace the gimbap, they GRIPE ME ABOUT A $10 PRICE DIFFERENCE between the gimbap and the kimchi pancakes as if it's not their fault! If they are this flippant and careless with making people sick, I genuinely cannot imagine how they run the rest of their restaurant. I cannot advise people to stay away from here enough. This interaction went beyond breaching normal restaurant hospitality and veered into lacking human decency territory. I can't imagine lying to someone about food allergies and not immediately offering a refund. Absolutely obscene. Could've gotten gravely ill and instead of saying sorry the lady on the phone is griping me about a $10 difference as if kimchi pancakes even costs $6 to make in the first place.

My husband and I were looking for Korean food for dinner while visiting Charlotte for the weekend…read moreand came across Iron Dish. We came starving and left happily full/served well. It's in a midsized shopping center, and parking was pretty easy with lots of spaces in the shopping center parking lot. We came slightly before the typical dinner (again, *starving*) and were seated immediately. We ordered our dishes thru server, and they were delivered super fast. I thought I was going to pass out from being hangry, but I was soon dancing and enjoying the food! I'm usually a pork belly girlie, but do not sleep on their beef dishes. We wish we got more of beef at Iron Dish than we did because they were that good! The interior was pretty "rustic" with exposed concrete here and there. The table benches were connected to the tables next/behind you, and if you have a big person sitting next table, your seat will be shaken the whole time. Not my favorite activity to do while I'm eating, but the food was amazing. So it's a solid 5 star for me! I would definitely come back next time I'm in the area :)

I didn't care for the chopped up salmon pieces. There time limit is what I'm familiar with and it's ample to try everything on premium. Someone knows the phone isn't operational but was apathetic when I asked about it. Like, yeahhh... ** What didn't work/Can be Improved ** - A deep cleaning would service this place well. Walls, table tops, underneath and windows plus the seats. - noodles were overcooked. I don't need aldente but japchae has a firmness that's unmistakable this offering didn't. - No idea why they don't take tap pay but here we are learning card swipe only. Can recommend with warnings. I'll be back for sure.

WOW! Usually I go…read moreto SuperG for my Korean meals they were closed for an extended time and I decided to try out the famous PePeRo. First off service was great and relatively quick , I love that they have a button for you to press if you need something!! I wish most restaurants did that! Now into the food... I got the Jjolmyeon this is my specialty and my favorite dish I get it all year round at SuperG I will say it's a bit spicier which I LOVE and more liquidy which I'm not use to. Overall not bad definitely a great backup super good. 4/5 on that. Kimchi was really good , was perfectly fermented. then I finished with the Tteokbokki unfortunately I had no more room to finish but I think it's the best tteokbokki I've ever had and usually this is my least favorite dish, I liked it so much I took it Togo! might add cheese on top later for dinner. I also love that it was ACTUALLY SPICYYY usually when a Korean dish is labeled spicy it's not that spicy to me (it's the West African in me) but had a nice kick that I appreciated. 5/5 ALSO CLEAN!!! really clean inside !!!

From the premium cuts of meat to the impressive variety of side dishes and soups, every element is executed perfectly. Two things really set them apart: the meat portions are perfectly sized, and the variety of dipping sauces is on another level. Even during a busy service, the staff is attentive and the food comes out incredibly fast.

The prices were still $30 a head. I don't think there was a time limit for how long you could stay then. Now it's $40 a head (which inflation.... I get it) with a two hour limit. My main issue is the ambiance is horrible!!! They painted the big wooden booths with this cheap sticky black paint that's slowly coming off. I was wearing shorts and it was PAINFUL if I got up too quickly. The lighting is cold and uncomfortable. It's not a welcoming place to dine anymore. A completely depressing environment. Everything looks like it's in disrepair and being very poorly maintained. The quality of the meats has gone down as well. The sides were not fresh. Especially the cucumbers. This is no hate to the staff but almost everyone that worked there seemed miserable as well. They did a great job but it just seemed like they all were sad for some reason. I truly think it's the environment. I would hate working at such a depressing restaurant. The staff were attentive and consistently checking on us. They never left us alone for too long! There was one guy with glasses that was exceptional. He was great with the small details of serving. Always pre bused something from the table every time he came by. If you're smart you will bump his hourly and make him a shift manager/ trainer. The staff is the reason I'm not giving one star. Korean culture is vibrant and fun! Please hang up some art work and posters. Hire someone to remove that god awful sticky paint! Which I know you can't clean properly. Change the lightbulbs to warm lighting. Put out some fun decor on the tops of the booths. Make your restaurant into a place people naturally feel happy to be at. Paint over that black wall in the back and fill it from top to bottom with Korean art work as an accent wall! Or put in giant decorative shelves with plants and collectible Korean toys. DO ANYTHING FOR THE LOVE OF GOD.
