About Iron Age - Columbia Heights - steak house in Washington District of, Columbia

Customer Review Summary

Iron Age in Columbia Heights receives generally positive reviews for its food, particularly the marinated meats and side dishes. The service is frequently praised, with specific mention of attentive staff like Carlos who provided quick assistance. Many customers find the atmosphere enjoyable and appreciate the friendly vibe, with some highlighting the music played.

We had a great time in Iron age during our first visit in Washington D.C. The food was nice (for all the raw/marinated meats & side dishes) and our server, Carlos, he was awesome because he helped us so rapidly that we could get anything right after asking to him =) The one thing that I'm suggesting to Iron Age is to add soup/noodle items on their menu. It'll be more fantastic experience if we could have them with the meats. Nice food, venue, and staff, I'll definitely find Iron Age again when I visit DC in the future.

Good KBBQ! Not 100%, but pretty darn good for inner city (non-Korean town) location. Steamed egg was bad, cooked in a small chicken poor pie foil covered pan, we had to cook on our KBBQ grill. All you can eat but you only have 90 mins! I would visit again

I took my friend here because he wanted to go to Korean barbecue for the first time. However, it was also my first experience at this restaurant. The waiter who helped us was good, towards the end he turned down the heat because we ate too much and started serving us less. We chose option C and this way we had the chance to taste everything. THE SUSHI IS DISGRACE I RECOMMEND YOU NOT TO EAT IT. Other than that, the meats are OK but the chickens are good. There were not many people when we went, it was not crowded, sometimes the waiter forgot us and sometimes burned our meat

Definitely 10/10...highly recommend. We went here on a Sunday and had a super short wait, maybe 5 minutes. After being seated the waiter took our drink order and explained how things work at the restaurant. We were able to order 2 meats at a time and we cooked them ourselves. The waiter would periodically come to the table to adjust the fire or cut up the meat/vegetables for us. We tried the lemon chicken thighs, garlic pork steak, spicy squid, and the Hawaiian bulgogi...everything was delicious, but the lemon chicken was my absolute favorite! The vibe and ambiance was nice too...I loved the music they were playing. The staff was super friendly. I had a great experience and can't wait to come here again!

Great experience. It was first time there with my daughter and her friends. One thing, make sure all the parties arrived because they seem to have issue seating you first. One we seated, the it was a great experience overall. The food was fantastic and the waiter was awesome. If you like meat, this is your place. It is $25 per person and tax 10%. Total for 4 is $110, not including tip. Here are the photos, hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Great food, friendly and speedy service. We were delighted how easy it was to get Delicious food to eat and cook. Compared to other Korean BBQ places In the areas, this one is cheaper and has other amenities such as salad for free. The quality of food is great and quality for money spent is worth it.

I came to dine with my best-friend and toddler. This experience was 8/24 around 1:30pm. The food was great. The waiter was nice, prompt and friendly. I placed an order and I wanted to make a quick change. The waiter left. I turned to the manager who was working the front door. He was standing behind the front desk. l smiled and flagged him over for assistance. The manager legit stared at me like I was an enemy in the street. I am glad my husband was not there because the manager probably would have been approache. He looked like the angry emoji. 😡 I did nothing at all or to him. No interactions ever. Then he proceeded to ignore me. I blatantly flagged him over and he did not budge.I sat on the right of the restaurant at the entire in the first booth. He was standing at the front desk. It was not busy. It was a weird and unprofessional experience. I was going to report him to the manager
