ilmiri Korean Fusion Cuisine is a popular chain with close to 200 outlets across Korea. The restaurant was even featured in famous K-drama Hyena!

Their Cloud Cheese Jjimdak ($41.90++) is a must-try. This signature dish features a combination of braised chicken, potato chunks, rice cakes, vegetables, and glass noodles blanketed in mozzarella cheese. If you’re a fan of sweet-salty combos, you’ll surely dig jjimdak.

A great sharing platter to have with your friends or family is their Crunchy Potato ($17.90++), a potato pancake topped with sour cream and vegetables. This is a great alternative to the more familiar kimchi pancake, seafood pancake or pajeon AKA scallion pancake!

There’s also the Mari ($47.90++) that presents you the best of both worlds—you get charcoal-grilled beef slices that are rolled with spring onions, along with a Korean stew! Even better, you have three dipping sauces to complement your meat: Yuzu Soy, Sesame Sauce, and Thai Chilli.Â
