Ilcha offers good Korean food and drinks. We had a great time. We ordered 3x of each. Braised pork belly, half dozen oysters $42, waygyu beef bulgogi, tater tots $20, fried seaweed spring rolls $10, spicy ramen hotpot $38, sweet pancakes and fried chicken $36. Our party of 14 ate most of it but had to take some of it home. For drinks, we mostly did soju and beer. The soup and fried chicken were my favorites. Service was excellent. They even help us cut a cake onto 14 pieces. Awesome job everyone at Ilcha.

The shrimp was weirdddd I didn’t enjoy. The sauce was okay but it tasted like really stringy sashimi. The rice that came with the shrimp was delicious though. The soup was pretty average but in a good way, I liked it a lot and they packed it with ingredients! Fried chicken was really juicy but the fried parts kept falling off. I don’t think they mastered the art of fried chicken.

I absolutely loved the marinated crab and shrimp at this restaurant! I'm usually very sensitive to the fishy smell of seafood, but there was none here — which shows how fresh and well-prepared the ingredients are.
The egg yolk rice that comes with it was delicious too. Pairing it with seaweed and a bite of the marinated crab created an amazing flavor combination — rich, savory, and incredibly satisfying. I will definitely be coming back.
The only downside is that the lighting inside is quite dim, and the space tends to be a bit noisy — more suited for group gatherings than a quiet meal. But if you're dining with friends, it's a great spot.

Amazing service. Vibes are amazing. I’ve been here 4 times no hiccups. 5th time however, my stomach is churning after eating the fried chicken. I smelled it and it was fishy but I was so hungry I ate it anyway. Restaurant should do more food quality checks. It’s an amazing spot for the most part but yeah the stomach issue sucked.

This is an incredible spot for flavorful, well-priced Korean food. The bulgolgi hot pot is beyond delicious and not too salty. The karaage was amazing too. Highly recommend. It has a chic, cozy atmosphere too, great for a weekend dinner out.
Kummi is fantastic. The soy cured crab was one of the most unique dishes we’ve ever had. Best Fried Chicken and Best La Galbi!!! Can’t wait to go back!

This was my first time here. This restaurant is a modern take on Korean cuisine. The atmosphere is like a lounge vibe with low lighting and chill vibes. The food was good and tasty. Expect to share seating with others at the table, if there is only 2 of you. Also, theres only 1 restroom in front of the restaurant which is very inconvenient. There was no banchan (side dishes) and dishes do not come with rice like typical Korean restaurant.
We got the soy garlic fried chicken which was quite crispy but with the sauce on the side, the fried chicken was not saucy enough like typical korean fried chicken style. The budae Jjigae (Army stew) was good but not spicy enough. It did come with instant noodles and one slice of processed cheese. We got other dishes too and also tasty food.

My friend and I went there to celebrate and had raw shrimp and oysters. The next day, we were all incredibly sick—vomiting and diarrhea the entire day. It was by far the worst illness I’ve ever had. The raw food definitely needs to be fresher and cleaner. Both my friend and I ended up with severe food poisoning after dining here.
Really good food, best fried chicken in the city!
