    Stopped in Iron Pot in Kent. Ordered bulgogi bibimbap, kalabi ribs and jalapeno wings. Excellent food and service.

    The location felt a bit sketchy at night, but once inside, we found a cute, small restaurant with a few large tables and limited smaller seating. Service was fast, and the aunty serving us was incredibly kind. They brought out banchan for everyone, and everything was delicious--with free refills available. We ordered the bibimbap, which was huge--definitely had leftovers. The wings were also tasty. They offer poke bowls as well, though we didn't try them this time. At checkout, we noticed a cold case with local desserts, including Chocolate Haupia Cake and Guava Cake--great for anyone from Hawaii craving a taste of home. Overall, we'd definitely come back!

    The food here is very consistent. It's pretty good, but I'll have to tell you the truth. I love their little side dishes that come with the meal. The service is always friendly and efficient get in and out during your lunch break. The place is cozy and inviting.

    THE BEST KOREAN SPOT IN TOWN! It's unassuming from the street, but don't pass this place up! Their service is friendly, quick, and the food is incredible! Best 불고기 (bulgogi) outside my late 할머니 (grandma's) kitchen. The menu may seem smaller, but they've perfected it. We will be back!

    Iron pot was a nice find for lunch. I like that they cook everything in an iron skillet and serve it hot. They could use some improvements in service as a lot of people in the restaurant were confused while waiting to order their lunch. They were going quite slow. I ordered their bibimbap and it was decent, pretty standard affair. The ambiance is interesting as it appears to be quite a historic building. It looks clean and well decorated though.

    The food came out extremely fast. I personally find the service to be a bit slow, you kinda have to flag them down to do anything. That's fine. It's a mom and pop shop and they're doing their best. I wouldn't say this is the best Korean food ever but it's definitely pretty standard. I do have to say, one thing that they are spectacular in is their portion size for the small dishes. It is the most generous I've seen in a long time. And the refills are just as generous. I was so happy to be able to take some home. Kalbi plate - came sizzling in an iron pot. Bibimbap - great portion size Spicy jalapeno wings - very juicy and tender. Definitely spicy.

    It was so good. For the price this was a lot of food and every single dish was delicious. My first time eating here and I ordered to go. Service was fast and the to go food was prepped very well. It's a cute little spot in downtown Kent. I would go back again to explore more of their menu.

    Ordered Shrimp Tempura, spicy jalapeño wings, poke, grilled mix bulgogi and yakisoba Service was fast (less than 10 mins from sitting to all food arriving) and friendly and with smiles, quiet conversations, open kitchen style. Open friendly seating some very good music old school playing Every item we ordered was very tasty and felt like it was made with love. Ever come to a place and immediately say, why have o not been here before? That's this place!!
