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 added this place to my list of favorites. Every dish slapped especially the fried chicken. Solid service and quick.
