Ililhyang Euljiro Branch 일일향 을지로점(日日香 中食)

Window tables look out over Cheonggyecheon stream and the downtown skyline, and private rooms sit off the open main hall. Round tables let large plates rotate, which suits ordering several dishes to share. Tangsuyuk uses thick-cut pork loin under a thin batter: the crust shatters first, then the juicy meat, and the sauce can come on the side. Eohyang-donggo is a whole shiitake filled with bouncy shrimp, fried and glazed in a sweet, spicy doubanjiang sauce. Gan-jjajang shows off wok aroma and crunchy onions, the chili version gochu-ganjjajang is distinctly hotter, and the fried rice arrives with separate grains and a clear egg soup. Right next to HiKR Ground, the wide hall takes strollers easily and keeps high chairs for toddlers.
