You step into Cast Iron Pot III in Flushing, and right away the room hits you: sizzle, smoke, and that unmistakable aroma. IMPORTANT - If you make the mistake of showing up after 7:00 PM on a weekend, prepare to pay your dues on the sidewalk as you wait. It starts with the service, which is fantastic Our waiter, Richard, was top-tier......informative, genuinely funny, and constantly dropping by to check on the grill, swap out plates, and make sure we were taken care of. Then come the banchan, and specifically, the kimchi. I've had kimchi in countless places, but the version here is probably my favorite. Because it's an all-you-can-eat setup, the move is to sample across the board. We even went for the Picanha steak upgrade, which held its own, but the absolute best of the night was the hanger steak. Tender, richly beefy, and deeply flavorful ... all it needs is a light sprinkle of coarse salt to make it perfect! It's easy to see why this has become my regular go-to spot in the neighborhood. Phenomenal customer service, fantastic food, and an electric atmosphere. Decor: 4 / 5 Customer Service: 4.5 / 5 Food: 4.5 / 5 Price: ~$45 per person read more

The Cast Iron Pot 3 - Hangar Steak!! - Korean Near Me - Flushing, New York

Came here for weekday lunch and was quickly seated. For $28 this is such a steal! Lunch menu has everything I like, such as beef brisket and sliced pork belly. If you want to use credit card to pay, there is a 3% surcharge. Staff was attentive and cooked the food for us. They took our orders quickly and food took no time to come. Aside from the beef brisket, the spicy crab soup was also really good. Appetizers I would skip are the kimchi dumplings, fried chicken and japchae. It was also really hot eating there as it was a heat wave outside but I hope they will turn up the AC in the future. read more

The Wagyu Picanha was an extra $14.99? But omg it was so delicious... our guy cooked it perfectly. So juicy. We got some of the other steaks after but it was like night and day.. next time I might get 2 orders .. Picanha with rice and some egg. Great meal. Service is always great. Everyone's really nice. They refill everything quickly. Omg if they offered Picanha and ayce sides but no extra meat .. I'd go more often.. read more

A few friends and I stopped here a few days ago and we had a really lovely experience. We got seated right away. It was a little busy. You sit at a round table with a cast iron in the middle. They set you up with some sauces and such. You check out their menu on your phone. We did the all you can eat for 2 hours. It came to around $45 per person. We ordered 3 different kinds of meat, they put onions, broccoli, mushrooms on the cast iron as well. Our waiter/chef cooking for us was really nice and chatted a bit. He was very attentive as well. We did 2 beef and one pork, and everything came out so good. The seasoning was great. I ordered the mojito, which was also very good. Overall the experience was great, the food was great. I loved it. Would totally recommend! read more

We had missed a lunch on the day, hungry, and actually had an early dinner here. We were glad that we didn't need to wait for line, even though saw many people from lunch time. Meat was well prepared, they bring quick, & we loved that we didn't need to wait and enjoyed the tasty BBQ. (Some Korean BBQ restaurants are so slow to bring the orders, even it's just law meat, & slow to cook.) We saw they had some different (seasonal?) old menu on line, which we are interested in to try, if they will bring back, and love to see more timely updates. read more

I have been coming here for years and just realized I never reviewed this place. This is one of my favorite ayce kbb spots. The meat is delicious and service is great. They also have beer towers if you have enough space. read more

AYCE Korean bbq is always good here, with great sides and soup. I think this is a new item, the braised crab meat soup was ridiculously rich and umami! You can never go wrong with their steaks and pork jowl. Came for an early Friday dinner and it wasn't full with plenty of tables. The service here is always impeccable and attentive. The dinner special is definitely a better deal with a lot more meat choices. There are many tables inside for small and larger parties. FYI: for all of y'all single ladies, if you want to see good looking K-drama Oppas, here is the place to be! Wink! read more

The marinated sauce doesn't taste good, which is the main reason I rate low. The marinated sauce taste really cheap and watery. Beside, We sit on the side table and the exhaust fan is broken so all the smoke and heat coming to my face. I really hate that. Overall, it's not worthy and I won't come back again read more

I love this place The price is great especially if you have a large group going. The amount of food they give is very filling. N the staff is always around to help out and take your order quickly. I've been to this one and the one in Jersey multiple times would go again. read more

This all you can eat spot is delicious. Go in hungry! The staff cooks for you btw, which was lovely. The party has to be present otherwise they will not seat you. It's a small but lovely spot! The staff was very attentive and they change your grill for you, which looked cast iron (hence the name). I can't wait to go back! My family and I definitely enjoyed it! read more

Once you walk in, the dining area is very dim. The interior looks cleaner than other kbbq i've been to. I went in for the Lunch, slightly cheaper than dinner price. The meat quality was pretty good and the servers who cooked our meat were very nice. But the soups and the egg soufflé were very mediocre. Meat Me and Won kbbq definitely have better sides. read more

The service is always good. My family prefers the marinated chicken & beef choices. The fried tofu is tasty.

My only complaint before would've been the servings of meat were way too big, making us unable to order multiple meats. However, they have finally reduced the size of the meat plates. This is great! We can order more variety. The service is friendly and efficient and the meats were marinated well. However, I did appreciate the non-marinated brisket since I really enjoy the truffle salt and bean dipping sauce. The best thing there is still that crab stew. I had myself two servings this time. Their house salad is really great as well, love that dressing. We had two servings of that as well. Great lunch! read more

This place is pretty good for the price. It's all you can eat and the food comes out relatively quick. You can get a limited number of protein per round but multiple rounds are allowed. Service is fast as well and our waiter was super nice. In the front there is a photo sticker thing it is one per table though. read more

I came here with a group of friends for dinner. We didn't have a reservation but only waited about 15 minutes with one group ahead of us. The dinner is $40 per person, so we tried to take full advantage of the unlimited meat! I especially enjoyed the beef brisket, pork belly, and pork ribs. We ended up ordering around 8 rounds of meat for our group of five, so that was pretty solid! They do provide veggies including broccoli, carrots (I think it's a bit odd having them in kbbq because Koreans song really consume them), along with the common veggies including onion, kimchi, peppers, and garlic. The veggies come in smaller portions, so it was a bit inconvenient that we had to ask for refills often. Overall, I'm glad I finally checked this place out & would definitely come back next time I'm in Flushing! read more

If you're interested in an all you can eat Korean BBQ then this is a place you want to check out. Parking is a challenge so be prepared to circle the block a few times. 3 of us went in after 1pm during the week. No waiting, staff was very courteous and helpful. Our cook was great and very helpful in helping us with our meals. We had beef, pork and chicken dishes and were excellent. For a first time, we all left happy and satisfied. We will come back! Check it out. read more

Pretty decent AYCE KBBQ but I definitely wouldn't wait in line for over 15 minutes to dine here. This place is filled with large groups left and right and always seems to be popular for birthday groups more than any other AYCE KBBQ place in the area. You'll see more balloons than the food itself. In my mind, I can barely hear the music because it's so loud and overstimulating here that the only music I think they have by default is the happy birthday song on repeat. I've been here several times and always with people who don't know too much about the KBBQ scene out here so this is a great place to start for the basics--because who can resist AYCE meat sweats? The price is pretty decent ($40-$45 range for weekend dinner a year ago) for very standard meat selections and cuts. But service is generally lackluster because it's always so overwhelmingly packed that their service to customer ratio is always so far off and it's so hard to flag someone down or have them actually remember your requests. I think they really banked in on the rising popularity of K-Pop because this place is loaded with screens of K-pop music videos in the background and the type of people/groups who come here usually look like they'd just recently discovered a newfound love for K-pop and everything that it encompasses so the experience can feel very mainstream. read more

Our waiter frank was very on top of things. I consider him one of the best waiters I've ever had. He was super attentive. The food was good and marinated well. Inside has a heavy smell of bbq smoke but whatever. Me and my friend got 2 drinks and it cmae out to $65ish each. I thought that was a little high , I probably wouldn't come back for a while read more

Meat fest for birthday celebration!!! Great vibe, food, and company but uncomfortable chairs. The stool chairs double as storage bin for your jacket and personal items. I really hope the inside is kinda clean since people just toss their stuff in. I didn't realize how much we needed a back of a chair to be more comfortable now that we are older lol Celebrated 2 people's birthdays with friends. They had a birthday shot or a cookie which we tried the cookie at the end of the meal (I think the shot would be more worth it but the 2 people didn't want the drink). Good price for AYCE meat. Yummy... also, unexpectedly, I really enjoy the salad as a palate cleanser and was the one who ate it the most and wanted a refill on that. Had concern about the stacking of the lettuce under the table (you can see pic) because if the underside of bowl is dirty, it is stack ontop of the next bowls lettuce and would contaminate it. Hopefully that was just a one off and they had improved since then. But overall, had a great time. read more

We had a great meal here. Everything I tried was cooked well and not overly seasoned! Service was also impeccable. Our server was very polite and attentive -- he was great at refilling our water, sauces, lettuce cups, etc. I think they have a good variety of food: - I love that they have grilled vegetables here, which includes onions, carrots, bell peppers, mushrooms, zucchini, and eggplant. Really balances out with everything else. - Their grilled mackerel wasn't bad. It was cooked very well and wasn't too salty. - The braised crab meat soup wasn't bad either -- it tasted like shark fin soup. - The marinated chicken I thought it was seasoned perfectly as it wasn't too salty or sweet. It was a tad bit on the drier side as if it's been frozen for too long, but it wasn't overcooked or anything and was still good! - Their cabbage salad with sesame dressing was really crunchy and refreshing. - Their lettuce cups were all cut to the perfect size. - I'd pass on their dumplings. The dumpling skin was too tough in my opinion. This might be my new favorite KBBQ spot given their price, food, and service! read more

This is an AYCE Korean BBQ place. All your food is cooked on cast iron grill. You get a round table and seat are stools that you can store you items inside. The service here is good, server are attentive and help you grill your meats. The stars here are the pork belly and the pork jowl. The thick pork belly get slowly cooked in the cast iron and then the server cuts it up so it can crisp up on all sides. These pork jowl, not available for lunch has great texture. Slight crunch when you bit into it. We were not fans of any the marinated meats. They all seem too sweet. The beef selection here also limited, no galbi. It's a great place for the price point, especially the lunch which was $25/person. read more

Came here for lunch. Priced at $25 per person and another $10 for tax and tip for 2 of us so $60 total. We first ordered the brisket, bulgogi, and pork belly. Brisket was the best, pork belly was our least favorite because it was too thick for our liking. For sides, we ordered rice cake, steamed egg, assorted mushrooms, braised crab meat soup and popcorn chicken. Braised crab meat soup had a real crab in it, and tasted nice. Similar to a crab soondubu Then we ordered the thinly sliced pork belly (second best meat). Service was quick and friendly. Overall, I recommend this and Wonderpig to satisfy your KBBQ cravings for lunch. I like wonderpig a bit better bc it has more selections. read more

So yum! This kbbq is so good and the service is just amazing. It's perfect on a cold winter day to eat this. I feel like if you're a first timer you won't know where to put your coat so for starters you can put it inside of your seat so it doesn't get all the smell from the meats. I didn't really know this and they never told me so I just had it out but I would have appreciated a heads up! My coat definitely smelled like this place after especially all the meat we ordered. This place is good for 2/4/6 people and larger groups of people in the back. The ban Chan was very tasty - kimchi and the salad they provided and your all you can eat can come with a lot of good sides like some I ordered was rice, spicy beef radish soup, lettuce, grilled vegetables and spicy rice cake. Our favorite meats were definitely the cast iron steak as it's the best flavor and consistency of the meat was not fatty. The thinly sliced pork belly was crispy and the beef bulgogi was quite sweet with the grilled onions so I def would grab the side of rice for that one. We also ordered the hanging tender steak and another pork belly but at this rate I think we maxed out around grabbing 5 different meats for 2 ppl and that's pushing it to the extreme for our AYCE. It was especially harder because I wanted my veggies and soup so I got much fuller than if I didn't order those. I definitely think we didn't need the spicy rice cakes either but we decided to try it. It's basically fried rice cake with gochujang sauce on top. Overall great AYCE and dine in vibe. Our server was with us the whole time cutting our meats and making sure we're good! read more

I've come here a few times and I also enjoy my experience. Depending on what time you come, there's always a bit of a wait. My last visit was on a Friday around 8:30 and I joined the wait list online, arrived at the restaurant 10 min later, and was given an estimated 15 min before I could be seated. Extremely reasonable. My party of three ordered 6 types of meat and three bowls of rice as well as one steamed egg. We could've done only 5 types of meat but it was too late. The two hours time limit to eat is extremely generous and we were out of there in an hour. Great service and great food! read more

Meat! Meat! Meat! Bbq is definitely the go to. Good service as long as you know what to order. Typical Korean resto so expect that it is going to be noisy which I don't mind as long as you keep flowing. Good place to spend Friday nights. read more

The vent in this place needs to be stronger. The smoke kept going into our faces and it wasn't pleasant. The food wasn't even that great compared to other kbbq all you can eat restaurants we went to in the area. The hostess asked my friend and I how old the kids were but when I answered she didn't want to hear it from me, wanted my guy friend to tell her instead for her to acknowledge. My second time here, first time I wasn't a fan but gave it another chance and now I'm definitely never coming back. read more

I had a good time there w a friend. We went on a thursday afternoon for lunch special and it wasn't busy. We got seated very fast and the service was good. The ambiance was chill and they were playing popular songs which were nice. For appetizers, we had the radish soup (not spicy), steamed egg, and fried chicken. They were all fairly good and the service was nice. We ordered the pork belly and beef brisket. They were good as well. The staff cook the food for you so it's nice and it doesn't take long either. The pork was slightly already cooked before they cooked it infront of us to save time which was nice as well. Overall I had a good experience here. It was an easy and good experience. We finished our food within the time limit and it was very good. It was affordable and around $56 total for the two of us (lunch time & paying with card). read more

I did all you can eat. I had the garlic steak, marinated steak, pork belly, thinly sliced pork belly, and bulgogi. All were good. Garlic steak, and pork belly very good My waitress was excellent. I wish I could remember her name. (Thai woman). Her service was impeccable and very personable. I wasn't that familiar with all the food, but she walked me through the whole thing. The biggest tip percentage wise I gave out the whole year was to her. The atmosphere was good. I only went with my son. This is a place where you need to go to with a group of people read more

The Cast Iron Pot 3 hits all of the spots. Housed in a largely visible corner of the block location, you just can't miss it. You enter in and add yourself to the wait list queue by scanning your phone. Little seats are available whilst you wait and the app texts you to update you on your wait status. Once you're cleared let the feast begin: unlimited meats come your way for as many rounds as you can. I'd read somewhere about time limits but time wasn't a problem. Choosing what to start eating first and leaving enough room for the next course was our biggest preoccupation. The place is clean, service was fast and the staff is friendly and attentive without being a pain. While the marinated meats are a must, pork belly is what I may have gone overboard on. Sure they serve veggies but I wanted protein so I stuck to that. They serve drinks but again I could only fit so much. Arrive hungry! Bring a crowd! Your belly will thank you. If your party is over six people you can make a reservation-- which I'd recommend. This place fills up fast! read more

Came here as a group of 4. They were super accommodating even moving the chairs to make space for a wheelchair and holding on to the crutches. It wasn't super full when we entered around 3:30 but it was getting packed by the time we finished. We had 4 total rounds of meat orders, they allow you to pick 3 meats with each order. Our favorites were by far the brisket, and the steak. The brisket was thinly sliced and had a great meat to fat ratio, it was the best brisket we have had from cast iron! The top blade steak and the garlic steak were both super tender, if I had to pick the garlic steak was better just because of the seasoning/more flavor. Other things we ordered were the steamed eggs, dumplings, spicy pork belly, pork belly, intestines, and spicy squid. The waiter was super attentive and made sure we had our meat flipped and grilled changed accordingly. Also made sure we always had water. The food has gotten much better since the last time we came and will definitely be back, great for large groups and celebrations! read more

First time trying this place. Went for lunch AYCE @$25. There is a staff member assigned to your table - takes your order and cooks. Seats are low stools (no back) around the cooking table. The sides are better than the last place we went to. We didn't want to get full from them so just ordered 1 each and shared. I did forget to ask for lettuce so we ate quite a bit of rice. When you order the meat, it's usually a big bowl but can request for smaller amount esp towards the end of the meal or if just want a taste of the meat. Pork bellies are our preferred choice. Brisket good too. Homemade spam is not salty, just ok. Intestines are not for everybody. Thought it would be better when a bit crisped up but still had squishy stuff come out when I bit and didn't like that. Would have been a 5 but the heat in there is too much. It was uncomfortable. I was using a napkin to fan myself. Need better ventilation; ceiling fans are not working, no AC it seemed. There was a fan in the back but need to be directed at the customers. I wish I asked about the fans earlier bec there was one near us - once it was turned to me, I was fine. read more
