The Cast Iron Pot is a chain of AYCE Korean BBQ spots, all served on their signature Cast Iron Pot. Service was fast, and the food was perfect. They have space for large groups as well.
Limits of 5 meat types per order, but that was enough for us. The server cooked the meat for us, and made sure to portion it for all of us. The meats itself are good, it is AYCE quality but the quality was higher than other AYCE places.
My favorite was the beef intestines and the garlic cube steak. Definitely would recommend again.

The staff was very accommodating and service was superb. Our food orders were on our table in less than 5 minutes. The staff was helpful in answering our questions about the menu and gives their honest recommendations. Will be back again for sure!

this AYCE KBBQ spot is now part of my family’s rotation. the meat is always good and we love that they’re adding new items to the menu. we always get the cube steak, cast iron steak, pork belly and pork jowl. the staff cooks and cuts the meat for you and are attentive so that nothing burns. they also have some great sides like the beef soup, crab soup (must try if you like crab) and popcorn chicken. great spot to up your protein intake.

Cast Iron Pot Staten Island is a great all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ restaurant. The staff is always so friendly and attentive. The quality of meat and ingredients is great. My mom and I always have a good time when we visit.

Absolutely loved everything about this place! The cat iron has vegetables, kimchi, mushrooms, and onions on it. You pick 3 meats (beef, chicken, poultry, seafood) and staff cooks it for you at the table. The food and sauces were very good (my favorite was the sweet/spicy soy sauce). I ordered the fried rice as a side, and it was the BEST fried rice I’ve ever had! Because I watch a lot of Korean shows, I was curious about the soju… OMG! The apple flavor was so good… I’m not much of a drinker, so I took it home. Lol! The service was amazing and the atmosphere was wonderful as well! When I return to NY, I’ll definitely be back, but I’ll be looking for one of these spots in California as well!

I was impressed by this location. It exceeded my expectations for a place on Staten Island. We have been to a few all you can eat restaurants and this is up there. We didn’t have to wait too long to be seated. The waiters were pleasant and assisted with the grilling.
We had the dinner menu and had greater choices. There was an option to pick a few sides ( I recommend the popcorn chicken). I especially loved the kimchi because it was hot- I wish I could have taken some home.
The food was just exceptional in quality. The restaurant was clean and the staff very professional. The hostess was very accommodating.
I will highly recommend this place and will surely visit again.

Let’s start from arriving at the parking lot where there is plenty of space. Once you’re parked you will proceed to enter a beautifully designed interior of the restaurant. The staff will prepare your table while you wait. The restaurant is pretty big so even if you need to wait it won’t be long. The meat is high quality for the price you pay. They have a good option of side dishes but that’s not what I’m there for. The meat is the show. I don’t like anything marinated so I get the ones that are unseasoned. The staff will change your cast iron plate as you eat so your food stays clean all the time. They have a good selection of drinks but don’t have original flavor soju which is crazy. There’s a nice selection of cocktails as well. Overall for the price I have no complaints. A good experience always when I’m there. Go give it a shot if you haven’t already. You won’t be disappointed.

Tried the one in Fairview NJ many many years ago and was so happy when they opened one on SI. This is probably the only authentic Korean bbq on the island (bc places like kpot are not authentic).
My fav is the beef radish soup and steamed egg, my husband loves the seafood crab soup and we both enjoy the thin beef and pork belly kbbq most. I ask for raw garlic to cook on the side of cast iron, some crispy lettuce then add protein, sauce, kimchi and eat it like a taco, it’s so good.

Cast Iron Pot Island is a game-changer for Korean BBQ on Staten Island! Finally, a solid AYCE spot right here—went with a group and we were stuffed and happy. The highlight is definitely the meats: tender marinated bulgogi, juicy pork belly, flavorful brisket, and marinated chicken all grilled perfectly (love that the staff comes to cook it at the table so you don’t have to fuss with the grill).

First time coming to Cast Iron Pot!!
I came here today with my family for a birthday dinner, and I had such a fun time!
Our server, Vincent, was kind, attentive, and recommended such great options in the menu. Although the menu is simple, everything is delicious and worth trying! The chicken is SOOOO juicy, most places I have been to always overcook chicken, and it’s so dry. But not here! This chicken was excellent. They have two kinds to try from also, marinated and spicy. I personally really like the spicy, but if you are not someone who likes spicy, definitely opt for trying the marinated one!
I really enjoyed the atmosphere, the design of the restaurant is very inviting, relaxing, and very interesting. I have been used to how 99 Favors does KBBQ, but this place is a WHOLE different experience. In fact, I liked it a lot better!
All the staff are so friendly, and always have a smile on their face!
I would recommend this to anyone, it’s great for families, date night, or even if you want to eat here by yourself.
They have a lunch and dinner menu, lunch menu is good from 11am-3pm, and anything after 3pm is the dinner menu. Kids 3 (and under) eat for free.
Definitely try this location out! It was worth every minute.
