I had only had Korean food once, maybe, before going to 9292 Shabu, so eating at this restaurant…read morefelt almost like taking an international trip. They have numerous vegetables and mushrooms I had never seen before, and I thoroughly enjoyed the process of choosing my veggies, broth, noodles, meat, and sauce ingredients, as well as making my dinner in my own little hotpot. In terms of the process, I'd say it is the Asian equivalent of fondue. Although I don't think I ate a huge number of calories, I was totally stuffed by the end of the meal, probably because I ate so much fiber and had such a mind-engrossing, fun, creative process of making my dinner. And it was delicious! Highly recommended for those on healthy diets, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian, and vegan, as well as those who like to have a unique or cross-cultural dining experience. You can even get halal or kosher with a week's notice.

Had a really late dinner and was looking for something open at 10pm. Where else can you get good…read morefood that late except in Annandale! We went to a newer spot in the Annandale food scene and were throughly surprised at the quality of food (given it seemed more like a bar). To start, we tried some skewered fish cakes and rice cakes. These both had a great texture and came with a really soothing and comforting broth. Then we tried their tofu soup and Korean army stew. Both the soups were very tasty and had a good umami flavor. They were bold, spicy and filled with lots of different things. This food hit just the spot and will definitely be in our lineup of late night eats!

The mug it came in was charming and broth was delicious. It honestly hit the spot. 10/10 *Chuncheon Dakgaibi - spicy and savory. Loved the flavor. However, there was barely any chicken in the dish. The majority of the dish consists of cabbage and onions. My table and I were fishing for any piece of chicken. 6.5/10 *Pan Fried Seafood Udon - also spicy and great flavor. Udon was soft and chewy. Came with A LOT of muscles and onions, a couple big shrimps, and some baby shrimps, carrots, jalapeños and peppers. Same with this dish, there was not a lot of udon noodles. 7.8/10 Ambiance: there weren't many people at this spot, it was located at the corner of the strip (basically in the cut). But the decor and lighting was nice. My friend and I chose a spot that had a table on the floor, and you get to sit on pillows (SO CUTE). 9/10 Would I come here again? Absolutely. Although they skimp out on ingredients, the flavor and spices were definitely there. It's a chill hangout spot to grab drinks and food. It's also located right next to a bingsoo (korean shaved ice) spot! Overall rating: 7/10

My daughter tried their chocolate ice cream sandwich and loved it. I would definitely go back.

Ordering required interacting with an iPad to place our orders, but we still had to go up to the counter to pay afterward. Since this restaurant is known for its Korean-Chinese options, I decided to try a pick-two combo so I could sample two different dishes. 콤보메뉴 COMBO - PICK TWO: BOK JJAM MYEON - 17.99 The food was incredibly mediocre. The fried rice was okay and well-seasoned enough, but it didn't reheat very well the following day as it was dry and clumpy. The jjambbong contained mainly vegetables and noodles with very little seafood, and the broth was a bit bland. One of my friends ordered the Combo - Pick Two: Tang Jja Myeon, while the other ordered a Mool Naengmyeon. They both thought their dishes were mediocre at best, and the tang su yuk that came with the combo was soggy and uninteresting. I don't mean to be harsh, but Il Poom Hyang is probably on the bottom of my list when it comes to Korean-Chinese food. Everything was just so underwhelming, not just for me but for my friends too. With so many better options in Nova, I don't see myself coming back.

The parking area looks small from the road/front side but if you go around back there's plenty parking. I thought it was on the pricey side but comparing it to other bbqs in that area it was comparable.
