First time going to this location and this is one of the best all you can eat Korean bbq restaurant in New York, the price is excellent for all you can eat, customer service was very good. They do check your temperature before sitting you down. Very fast service! There's kpop blasting in the background, wished they turned it down a bit, but I won't let that bother me because the food here is fantastic for the most part. The pork belly was good my favorite was the thin beef brisket. My least favorite would be the bulgogi, it was overly sweet and too soft. Overall I would definitely come back to this restaurant and eat again read more

Very large space. No range hood or vent above the grills, but that's a luxury most of these indoor-BBQ places don't have so it's fine. Went with a party of ten recently and were graciously seated even though it took us a total of twenty minutes to finally come together as a group. We did the AYCE option. Favorite meat was definitely the galbi. Perfectly seasoned. The pork belly was surprisingly delicious especially after we grilled it until it was crispy and I'm saying this as a non-fan of pork. Spicy chicken was a decent addition as well. I tend to only order beef to maximize the bang-for-the-buck value at AYCE places, but the chicken is worth your gut space. Love the vegetables and steamed eggs of course. Great way to add depth and variety to your bites. They have steamed white rice for you if you want. Would be 5 stars if we didn't feel rushed as we neared the 2 hour limit (we were cut off half an hour before our time, but we 100% could have gotten new meat and ate it too in that time). read more

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

Great food, and the guy who cooked our food was so nice. However, the wait was an hour on a Thursday night, kinda long. Also, the lady Gena or Gina ( however you spell it ) was so rude and said that our tip to her wasn't enough.. you don't say that to customers. I would come back, but I would never want her to serve me again if you're gonna complain about the tip you get... ( WHICH WAS ENOUGH ! ) because her service was so bad. I spoke to the manager Frank about it over the phone, and he was nice and he apologized , but disappointed in the service. read more

I personally really enjoyed this place. I haven't tried too many AYCE KBBQ places in Queens, but I definitely feel it had good quality meat. The prices are definitely very fair compared to the other KBBQ places around. Super stuffed when we finished eating. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to expand my stomach enough to try the chicken or squid. Make sure to grab an ice cream to go in the back. The waiters dont normally bring this up, but it is available. My favorites were the hanger steak, brisket and galbi :) Come here and eat lots. You're be smelling like KBBQ for a few hrs after so sont wear anything too nice. read more

The Cast Iron Pot 3 - Brisket - Korean Near Me - Flushing, New York

Been here a few times since me and my friends pretty much rotate between picnic garden here and a few other places. It's a nice change of pace if you don't want to pig out on jus Galbi since that's what me and my friends do. I'd recommend this place to anyone. Seasoned kbbq pros and newbies alike since it's a good experience. Good quality meat and at a decent price. read more

3.5/5!!! Came in for lunch on a Sunday and we sat down right away, the restaurant wasn't as busy as I thought it would be but our server was very attentive and cooked our food quick and fast which was nice! I didn't think there was enough of a meat selection and the egg/spicy beef soup wasn't very flavorful it was kind of bland! We loved the thinly sliced brisket and thinly sliced pork belly! I would go back for the price it was very reasonable! read more

Th service was great! You for sure have to make a reservation ahead of time because this place is always super packed. The food was good, not many seafood options but we were pretty happy with what was available. read more

I go here quite often with my dad and it gets better every time. the menu is diverse and the food is cooked to perfection every time i come down. service is also quite stellar, we were seated very fast and our waiter, a man named Sam, was very welcoming and friendly and made the experience more fun the ambiance was nice, there was nice bustle and overall the place was very comfortable. highly recommend trying here atleast once read more

Really enjoy all the varieties of meats offered. The buttered squid is great too. Wished they offered the traditional Korean mackerel fish dish too. Service is very attentive w grilling & obtaining any side dishes! Been here few times w large parties, 10-14 ppl& able to accommodate w/o sacrificing food& service quality. read more

Been craving KBBQ since Covid hit and all the restaurants closed down, so we were VERY stoked to check this place out for outdoor dining! It was $28.95 for weekend lunch all you can eat - not a bad deal at all. Instead of the indoor "sit at a grill and cook your meat yourself/have the waiter help cook in front of you" situation, they just bring out platters of just cooked meats! You can order 3 at a time and they just keep on coming. Everything we had was delicious, especially the brisket. And even though we were seated on the side street (as opposed to right in front of the restaurant) the waiters came around often to see if we needed anything and were super friendly. There wasn't /as/ much in terms of sides as other places (just a few to start), but considering the circumstances and quality of the meats, who needs more sides anyways?! Would definitely recommend! read more

Prices are reasonable, but if you want to save a few extra bucks I recommend lunch time hours. Meat is good quality, worth the travel cross borough. Usually packed on nights. Chill atmosphere. Attentive staff when not pack, as many waiters/waitress take care of more than two tables. Very appreciated of how timely they still are. Highly recommend for large groups. Try the spicy pork belly, have some makgeolli, you'll enjoy it. read more

We always have an amazing time at kbbq with our favorite waiter, Joseph, he's super attentive and friendly. The man is here almost everyday too! The food tastes better everytime and I leave with a smile. read more

Came here with a party of like 20 friends. We were quickly sat down but service took forever and food portions were practically so scarce when it arrived that I had to portion it with the other tables and practically setup a trading system. Whenever we reordered, the staff had forgotten so many items and/or brought too little. They even gave another table in our party the wrong foods ordered. It's clear that this Cast Iron Pot's not equipped or trained properly to handle such large capacities of patrons at one time. Everything felt like a mess inside there and I barely ate my money's worth. I was more upset than I was still hungry sadly. read more

One of my favorite AYCE Korean BBQ places in my area. It is definitely popular, so if you don't like waiting, I'd recommend making a reservation ahead of time. Luckily, when I usually go, which is typically a Friday night around 6pm, it's not too crowded so it was never a super long wait. The waiters cook the meat for us and they're constantly available, so we don't have to purposely look for someone to take our order. Typically, I stick to the beef, pork, and squid. Some of the meats are marinated and some are not. When they are not, they provide the typical 3 sauces you would use for KBBQ. Every time I visit, I never had a bad experience, which is why it has become my go-to. read more

Was really excited to try this place since many AYCE kbbq places were not open due to the pandemic. Instead of grilling the food in front of you, they cooked it inside and brought it out. It takes away a bit of the fun of kbbq but nonetheless, you will still enjoy the meal with good company. The price for AYCE is $28.95 which is not bad. They do make you pay for water though since it is bottled. If you check in on yelp while at the restaurant, it says you are eligible for a free soda. We asked the waitress if this applied to water, and she said yes; however, when we received the bill, we were charged for the water. The food was pretty good. The bulgogi, spicy squid, and spicy chicken were my favorites. I was not a fan of the buttery small squid - it had a flavor reminiscent of mashed potatoes due to the puddle of butter the squid was sitting in. Also, my friend ordered the brisket which was 80% fat. I would recommend trying the place if you really want AYCE kbbq. Not sure if I would come back here over some other places once things start opening up again. read more

First time here.enjoy my self. Good BBQ and price for the quality. And good service! Will definitely be back soon read more

Great value for all you can eat Korean barbecue. They have a good amount of variety and most everything we tried was tasty. You can order 3 items at a time and they cook the meat indoors with a grill at the table if you want to keep the items warm. Service was good too which I always appreciate. Just a tip they only accept 3 credit cards to split, but I still think this a perfect spot for a small group outing in these new times. read more

The meat quality here never disappoints! I tried their Jersey location a month ago and fell in love so when I found out there's a location in queens, I had to try it too. Awesome all-you-can-eat prices for incredible meat! I especially love the garlic cube steak and the pork belly. The steamed egg is a classic delight. The servers know how to quickly and skillfully cook these meats. Love the service! read more

For AYCE kbbq, it was great. Quality was good, marinate was on point, and price was very reasonable. My fave was the hanging tender steak, juicy with some fats. Next fave is the galbi. Their regular steak was very tender as well. The spicy pork had the best marinate in my opinion, but the spicy squid is a must have if you're into seafood. The soup was very flavorful without being too spicy. The raspberry wine was refreshing, paired well with the bbq meats. Their spicy rice cakes were deep fried with a slightly sweet sauce, and the steamed egg was fluffy. You can store your bags in the empty barrels that served as seats, which was really convenient. The whole place looks like those you see in kdramas. read more

I do not recommend this place. Never again! They advertise kids ages from 4-10 years old are charged 12.50 for lunch. Upon entering, they asked and we mentioned the child's age, which is within the age bracket. Upon receiving the bill, they charged my child as an adult. I inquired as to why, and they say "because she is tall" whereas it doesn't specifically state its by height requirement. Their advertisement is a lie and service wasn't even subpar. I didnt wanna argue further because i can afford it, but be transparent and uphold your policy. Otherwise your establishment is nothing but a shit show! read more

I didn't love my experience. I will say, I was able to get a table right away and the host was nice. However, the meats were just fine, the seafoods were definitely not great and the banchan was also just fine. The servers were understaffed at the time I was there and we didn't really get a lot of attention. You get what you pay for I guess. I can't complain too much about the price at least. It is worth a shot to try it out. read more

Out of all the AYCE Korean BBQ's in the area this place is the best hands down. The selection of meats at Cast Iron Pot is prime and there's enough variety for any meat lover. But what separates this place from anywhere else is the service. The staff is top notch, quick, attentive, friendly, and ready to serve. Someone's always asking if you need something and although I like to cook my own meat from time to time, they are quick to check on the food and make sure it's not burned and cooked appropriately. Also unlike other places in the area, this place prides itself on customer service. This is my new go to spot especially now that I'm on Keto. They don't rush you and you don't feel like your being pushed out the door. Overall a very welcoming and friendly environment with amazing food that makes coming here worth it. If your in the mood for some KBBQ check this place out. read more

Fun fun fun. CIP 3 is a great family spot for an Interactive dining experience for all. It's an all you can eat style restaurant where you pick your proteins and they are brought to your table and cooked on a hot pot. Ample amounts of vegetables are available and white rice on request. I chose to skip the white rice because it is an excellent way to eat very filling food if you're keto or low-carb. We had the sliced steak, the bulgogi, chicken, and pork, all of which were excellent and cooked to your desired doneness depending on the meat you wanted to enjoy. Several sauces were available for dipping but were rarely needed, especially for the seasoned meats. The service was frenetic but very attentive. Items were brought to the table quickly and the manager/owner was very gracious and treated everyone like they were his best customer. They have a fabulous selection of beer that washes down all of that coma inducing meat quite beautifully. This is one of my new favorite spots especially for a family meal since the cooking of the food is part of the entertainment. It's not like the kitschy hibachi placees where you get an uninspired and boring show, rather you're watching the food cook with drooling excitement. Get there 30 to 45 minutes before you're hungry, as you will need to find parking which is very difficult and also wait for a table especially on a busy night. A small bit of hassle when considering you will enjoy a fabulous meal with family and friends. read more

Korean BBQ is delicious and AYCE is even better! We wanted to go for a long time and was turned away by the long wait. Finally we were able to make to a Friday dinner. This time I called ahead and asked to see how busy they are, and headed over before it hit 6 pm. With covid impact, they are definitely serving less banchan (traditional Korean side dishes and old appetizers). You do get the basics like kimchi, and pickled raddish. But I'm here for the meat. And also instead of the table side grilling experience, you are going to have them cooked by their staff instead. We ordered thinly sliced brisket, top blade steak, pork belly and bogulgi. All the beef dishes came out nicely, pretty fresh and cooked perfectly. My only dissatisfaction is our second order of the brisket, it is much leaner than the first order and therefore pretty dry and chewy instead of the fatty and tender meat as briskets are supposed to be. I must say the pork belly here does not live up to the quality as other KBBQ places. Tips: come early or be prepared to wait, especially during weekends and holidays. They do not take reservations unless you are a large party bigger than 10 people. The single serving amount is not small, do if you are party of two, don't be overly greedy and focus on your favorites. Finally do get briskets and top blade steaks, thought not marinated, both meats packs great flavor when charred. read more

ALL YOU CAN EAT!!! The tender steak, sausage and pork belly was delicious!! We also got couple steamed eggs, which was also delicious! Love the vibe inside! Definitely will be going back and highly recommend this place to everyone if your down for some delicious korean BBQ!! The price is reasonable, we paid around $200 plus for 5 people. The staff is friendly and funny. Your temperature gets checked before entering and also given hand sanitizer before getting seated. They don't serve the tap water but you have the option to pay for bottled water. read more

All you can eat so what else you want but you better not dine in during summer. It's so hot that I did not enjoy my dinner. AC isn't strong enough to cool the restaurant. I enjoyed the marinated steaks and steamed eggs. read more

So this was my first time trying Korean BBQ and I was expecting the food to be interested since I heard stories about it. I assumed I was going to cook my food myself but the waiters actually go around and cook it for you. Another surprise was that it's all you can eat for 2 hours which is amazing. For $30 per person you cannot go wrong. They don't have free refills which is understandable. Apparently there is also a fee if you don't finish all your food or take more than 2 hours sitting down. I tried so many different options from chicken to steak to veggies. We tried to try as much as we could but ended up getting so filled. The blue ok the menu also means marinated which is absolutely amazing you can taste it. The staff also offers a side of rice to eat with your food and dipping sauces at the table. I cannot wait to go here again! read more
