How all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ works at Iron Age

A quick primer for first-timers -- Korean BBQ tabletop grilling has its own rhythm. Here is what to expect from the moment you sit down.

Step 1

Sit, scan, order your first round

Your server brings banchan (side dishes) automatically. Browse the menu board and order your first selection of meats -- typically up to three cuts per round. Choose a mix: one quick-cooker like brisket, one marinated like bulgogi, one rich cut like pork belly.

Step 2

Grill at the table

Meats arrive raw. Lay them on the built-in tabletop grill. Brisket and thin cuts cook in 60-90 seconds. Pork belly takes 3-4 minutes per side. Your server may help flip -- it varies. When the grate gets too charred, ask for a grate change.

Step 3

Dip, wrap, repeat

Use the four dipping sauces -- sesame oil with salt is the go-to for brisket. Wrap meats in lettuce leaves with a dab of ssamjang (spicy paste) and banchan. Order your next round of meats whenever you are ready. Banchan refills are on request.

Tip

Start with the lighter cuts

Open with brisket and plain pork belly to establish your baseline. Move to marinated cuts (Iron Age steak, Hawaiian bulgogi) midway through. Save spicy squid and shrimp for a late round when the grill is well-seasoned.

Time limit

2-hour table limit

The clock starts when you are seated. Aim to place meat orders in the first 90 minutes to get multiple full rounds. The atmosphere is loud, lively K-pop -- come ready for a fun, communal meal rather than a quiet dinner.

Groups

Reservations for 8+ only

Reservations are accepted for parties of 8 or more. Walk-ins are welcome for smaller groups. Peak times (Friday and Saturday evenings) can have waits -- arrive early or during lunch hours to minimise wait time.

Dietary guide

Vegetarian, gluten-free & allergy notes

Iron Age Glenview is a meat-forward AYCE Korean BBQ restaurant. The AYCE protein lineup is entirely meat and seafood. Vegetarian and vegan guests are accommodated mainly through banchan sides, but the restaurant is not a vegetarian-friendly venue overall.

Gluten-free diners should note that most marinades contain soy sauce (which typically contains wheat). Unmarinated cuts (plain brisket, plain pork belly, plain pork bulgogi, tiger shrimp) are more likely to be gluten-free -- confirm with your server.

Cross-contact is likely in a busy AYCE grill environment. Always inform your server of serious allergies before ordering.

  • GF-friendly cuts: Beef brisket (plain), pork belly (plain), tiger shrimp
  • Vegetarian banchan: Spicy rice cakes, steamed egg, cheese corn, kimchi (check for fish sauce)
  • Vegan banchan: Pickled radish, lettuce wraps, grillable vegetables, white rice
  • Avoid if soy allergy: All marinated cuts contain soy-based sauces
  • Spicy options: Spicy pork bulgogi, spicy chicken, spicy squid, tteokbokki
  • Not halal-certified: Confirm with restaurant for current sourcing

How does the all-you-can-eat ordering work?

Side dishes (banchan) and sauces are provided automatically and refilled on request. You can order up to three meat selections per round at most AYCE Korean BBQ spots -- confirm the exact round limit with your server, as this can vary. When your grill grate gets too charred, ask your server for a replacement.

What are the best items to order at Iron Age Glenview?

The most frequently praised cuts across reviews are beef brisket (thin, clean flavour, great dipped in sesame oil with salt), Hawaiian bulgogi (sweet and tender), and spicy pork bulgogi. Among the sides, the spicy rice cakes (tteokbokki) and steamed egg (gyeran jjim) are consistently highlighted. For beginners to Korean BBQ, start with brisket and pork belly -- both are forgiving on the grill.

Does Iron Age Glenview have vegetarian or vegan options?

Steamed egg and cheese corn are vegetarian. Japchae (glass noodles) is typically vegetarian. Confirm with the restaurant if you have specific dietary requirements.

Iron Age Glenview and Iron Age Korean Steakhouse (1265 N Milwaukee Ave, Chicago) are separate independently-operated locations with similar concepts and overlapping menus. They are part of a loose network of Iron Age Korean BBQ restaurants in the Chicago metro area and across the U.S. (Maryland, Virginia, Georgia, etc.).
