Kristy Puchko Mashable Rather than pitching in a flurry of "fun" ideas meant to keep knocking the chefs off-balance, this first season overwhelmed my palette, like too much truffle oil. Oct 13, 2022 Full Review Wenlei Ma News.com.au Everything about Iron Chef: Quest for an Iron Legend is mundane. It’s not worthy of the Iron Chef name. Jun 18, 2022 Full Review Archi Sengupta LeisureByte.com ... at around 50 minutes per episode, it’s a long watch for food you aren’t going to get to eat. Aug 13, 2024 Full Review Carson Timar Clapper While maybe not perfect, the show pays respect to what made the series special to begin with, while also finding room for evolution. Jul 7, 2022 Full Review Andy Dehnart Reality Blurred Netflix's Iron Chef reboot is an average showcase for talented chefs that has been eclipsed by better competitions, and struggles to literally show us what's happening. Rated: C- Jun 15, 2022 Full Review Joel Keller Decider If you’re a fan, you’ll find this new season to be TV comfort food. Jun 15, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

tiago m É um bom programa, gosto da competição e do alto nível. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 12/26/24 Full Review Kim R I enjoyed it until the finale. I thought it was unfair! Aside from the fact that there was 1 chef with 2 sous chefs against 5 Iron chefs with no sous chefs, each Iron Chef got to make ONE dish in the time alotted while the challenger had to make FIVE dishes during that same time. Much respect to the challenger for being able to complete the challenge and keep the final decision close! Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 07/27/24 Full Review Sue R The season finale was unfair- how can one chef with two sous chefs realistically expect to win against 5 iron chefs and make 5 dishes. At least the chef competitor should have been allowed to have an equal number of sous chefs. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/08/24 Full Review Wobbles A I was ok with it at first, but then came the sturgeon episode. They had live fish, one chef dropped it and it landed hard on the steps. Sturgeon were falling off tables, gulping for air, taking forever to die. It's so easy to dispatch a fish, especially for so-called Eastern chefs, who mastered the Japanese technique of quickly and humanely dispatching fish. It takes seconds. But no, they just....had these beautiful fish, flopping on the floor, chefs chasing them around like it was a comedy sketch. How did they get away with this? Aren't there laws regarding animal welfare in the film industry? Like, I get it. I'm a carnivore. I know what happens to fish when they're caught. But there's just something deeply unsettling about having to watch these giant, magnificent animals slowly suffocating to death on camera, desperately flopping on the floor as they asphyxiate to death. Chef Tsai even referred to the sturgeon caviar as "baby fish", which didn't help. 🤢 I was already kind of disappointed with the vibe of the show with its manufactured drama and pretentiousness, but the sturgeon episode is what turned me off of the series completely. The only upside is the co-host Kristen Kish. She's like a Korean Ruby Rose, and I am so here for it. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 05/13/23 Full Review Clark G Just an abomination. The Jaws 3-D of the Iron Chef franchise. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/07/22 Full Review Audience Member Didn't keep me on the edge of my seat like previous Iron Chef Show. Both Iron Chefs and Challengers seems to "too chill", some not even braking a sweat, lacks excitement for me. Chefs not at Iron Chef caliber I don't think. It's a reboot bust for me. I Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews
