Loved it here! We tried Stone Age for the first time last night and #1, it is a TON of food, and it's very fun to cook your own. We did the BBQ (not the hotpot) and it comes with two proteins and three sides. I got beef bulgogi and lemon chicken and they both were easy to cook on the grill at the center of the table. My partner got the stone age steak which was thicker chunks of steak and was harder to get cooked all the way through without charring too much on the outside, and some shrimp, which still has the skin on, so you have to peel it after you cook it, which is a bit messy.

Our sides included fried rice and vegetables for me (and some lettuce wraps that I didn't end up using) and a whole bowl of bibimbap, a beef broth soup, and ramen for him, each of which could have been a meal on its own, especially the bibimbap. PLUS, there is an all-you-can-eat buffet with small spring rolls, fried dumplings, sauces, fruits, kimchi, teriyaki chicken and more. And if you order a bubble tea, it gets delivered by a cute little robot! The restaurant is spacious and has four HUGE screens on the walls, two of which were like screensavers, and two showing k-pop groups. It wasn't loud though, the music wasn't turned up.

That being said - it is an active meal. You don't tend to do a ton of sitting around and relaxed chatting. Instead, you're cooking your food, going to get things from the bar and actively making your meal. I think it's a hoot. Plus, it's 25% off during the week.

Walked in with my daughter today on Veterans Day (11/11/24) and upon being seated we were told "Just so you know, today being Veterans Day, it is dinner price all day and not the usual lunch price." WHAAAT?!?
So let me get this straight... they're taking advantage of people BECAUSE of Veterans Day!?!? I wonder if they do this on all Holidays. ? We walked out and will NEVER go back in there. I know plenty of people that are also in awe of this stupid decision. Caveat Emptor!

The experience was good. It was just hard for me to pay that kind of money and cook my own food!

Not a big fan of Chinese food so I went into this Korean BBQ restaurant with skepticism but left exceptionally pleased.. I felt like the $35 all you can eat was a bit pricey but when I realized what all that included I fell in love! There are a ton of different meats you can choose from all brought to your table raw then you're invited to use their gas powered grill in the middle of the table to cook your own meats to your preferred taste. Along with Korean sides and a couple of American favorites.. I would definitely recommend this place to everyone wanting a variety of meats or to those who might be picky about doneness..

Service is always great and food is always delicious. I would like for them to have an ingredients list on their service bar so I would know what is all in their foods.

Vegetarian options: Plenty of options if you choose hotpot.

Dietary restrictions: Plenty of vegan options if you choose hotpot.

Parking: The restaurant has their parking lot for customers.

The food was PHENOMENAL! The BBQ meats were seasoned better than anywhere I've had before. But the best part was our server Michelle. I walked in knowing nothing but she was awesome explaining everything, was so nice, and was all around great. It is servers like her that make people go back to places! Thanks, Michelle!!

I went in after seeing the sign for 25% off. I wasn’t really wanting to cook the food myself so the waitress suggested a menu where the food came prepared. When I got my bill - no 25% off - and the waitress said I ordered from the “to-go” menu even though I dined in - so they weren’t giving me the discount. Had I known that, I would have cooked it myself because it would have been much cheaper as the meals were priced the same. Even when I asked what the differences were between the menus - no indication I wouldn’t get the discount. No willingness to fix it from the waitress either when I complained to her.

The food was mediocre. I think people eat here for the all-you-can eat menu which really isn’t my thing. I prefer quality over quantity.

kbbq & hot pot is incredibly simple ,
being from nyc where theres kbbq everywhere, my expectations were a little high. ;-P

price wasnt bad at all (we went on a sunday, all day dinner being $32/each). service was incredible, friendly and timely staff complete with a lil robot that served us our drinks.

there are four plates for the hot pot, which i thought would be a little scary as a burn hazard; but once a hot pot was on it i felt more relieved. if you’re a parent bringing kids, be aware of the hot plate controls.

sauce selection was pretty good,
(always get chili oil & put green onions in em btw) — wouldn’t recommended the cake as it absorbed all the flavors around it , so it tasted like sauce-air.

selection of meat and veggies for hot pot and bbq are great, nothing majorly of note (again, not very hard to pull off). one issue is the rice cakes dissolved in my hotpot? i might’ve let mine sit too long while being so focused on the grill, however.

major issue is the amount of stimulation in the location— entire walls of screens blasting either sports or kpop were good for all of five seconds when combined with the bright white lighting. wouldve been more bearable with warmer lighting, personally.

other than that,
definitely solid.

shoutout to our server, alex!
thanks for the butter

Vegetarian options: solid veggie selection for hot pot , but im not vegetarian or vegan so

Food is great! You’ve got a variety of meat flavors to choose from and of course side dishes! Their short-ribs is heaven! A must-try!

They also have a sauce buffet which is one of my favorites! And you can mix it all up the way you want them! They also have delicious milk and fruit teas! Definitely gonna come back!

Not My first time to have Korean barbecue. But it wasn't the best korean barbecue I've had. It's a little bit pricey, but so is everything else in america nowadays. The Best part of that experience was. We had a beautiful waitress, and she seem to know what she was talking about. I would Google what to order before going If you have never had korean barbecue. And at this restaurant, you actually have to cook it yourself.
So if you're not comfortable with that, I would eat somewhere else.
