About Ilcha
Opened in 2022, Ilcha gained critical acclaim for its authentic Korean dishes. Longtime friends Kummi Kim and Hilwin Wong wanted to bring a Korean gastropub experience to the city.
The name comes from a concept in Korean culture that refers to a “first round” of food and drink. As Ilcha prepares to close in February, it leaves behind memories of unforgettable dining experiences that made a lasting mark despite its brief run.
