" Il Poom Hyang is a delightful find for anyone craving authentic Korean-Chinese dishes. The first time I visited, I was impressed by the quality of the jjajangmyun; it had that rich flavor that reminds me of home. The service was friendly, although a bit slow since they were busy that night. I'll definitely be coming back for more! The ambiance is cozy, perfect for family meals. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for Il Poom Hyang based on reviews, but my experience was subpar. I found the jja-jang-myun too salty and the tangsuyuk sauce didn't taste right. While I appreciated the charm of the restaurant, the food fell short of being authentic. I don't think I'll return, especially considering there are better options near by. " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant captures the essence of Korean-Chinese spirit so beautifully! I genuinely loved their tangsuyuk, it was perfectly crispy and not overly sweet. The portions were substantial as well. The waitstaff was pleasant but a tad slow, though it’s understandable given how busy it was. Overall, a delightful experience that I would recommend to others. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently tried Il Poom Hyang and must say, their spicy seafood jjampong is to die for! The noodles were cooked perfectly, with a chewy texture that added to the experience. The portions are generous as well. The only downside was that service was a bit hectic. However, the food made up for it. Highly recommended for anyone looking for tasty, authentic Korean food. " (*Curated Review*)

" The aesthetic of the place and the vibe really turned me off. It felt quite outdated, and although the food was decent, nothing stood out. The jja jjang myun was lacking depth, and the tangsuyuk was too doughy for my taste. I didn't enjoy my visit particularly. Maybe it was an off day for the restaurant. " (*Curated Review*)

" Delicious! I have been a fan of Korean-Chinese cuisine for years, but the dishes here brought me back to my childhood! The mil naengmyeon was refreshing, and the jjampong had an excellent depth of flavor. The restaurant can get busy, and I hope they hire a few more servers during peak hours! Nonetheless, I left very satisfied. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have visited this restaurant several times, and the quality tends to vary. On my last visit, the tangsuyuk was underwhelming compared to previous experiences, tasting rather bland this time. The jjajangmyun, however, was still excellent. The ambiance is family-friendly, but I experienced long wait times for my food. I hope they can improve consistency in their dishes.
