#1. District 7, Phu My Hung Premium BBQ ILMIRACK Review
Ilmirack is a premium BBQ restaurant located in an upscale residential area south of Phu My Hung, District 7, Ho Chi Minh City. Since it is a fairly expensive restaurant, there are more Koreans than locals, especially office workers who visit for company dinners or with important guests.
The first floor of the restaurant is a large hall, the second floor has a private rooms for 2 to 10 people, and the third floor has a Korean style Chinese restaurant called Chef's Chai Tan. What was unique was that after eating meat, you could order Jjamppong or Black bean noodles at the Chinese restaurant on the 3rd floor to end the meal.
On Sunday lunchtime, four of my friends and I booked a private room. Personally, I prefer a room where I can eat privately in a quiet and clean space rather than a hall.
They serve a variety of side dishes, including green onion slices, fruit salad, pickled onions, japchae, corn, cabbage kimchi, green onion kimchi, pickled victory onion, seasoned perilla leaves, salad, and ssam, and each one is delicious. All side dishes are refillable for free and the japchae was especially delicious.
It was a special occasion to gather with friends after a long time, so I brought a bottle of red wine. The corkage price is 300,000VND per bottle of wine and 400,000VND per bottle of whiskey, which is not a bad price because everything is set up for drinking, including glasses and ice.
I ordered 4 servings of Beef Outside Skirt first. Beef Outside Skirt is one of the most expensive cuts of beef in Ilmirack after Beef Short Rib Boneless. Although it only weighs 130g per serving, it is densely marbled and has a soft, savory, and luxurious taste.
The staff grilled the meat herself and asked me to decide on the doneness of the meat. I asked for the Beef Outside Skirt to be grilled medium well. When the meat is properly cooked, cut it into bite-size pieces.
The cooked meat is placed on a mini brazier, which keeps the meat warm rather than cold, maintaining its flavor throughout the meal. The Beef Outside Skirt is soft and the meat is full of flavor and This is as delicious as it is an expensive cut. It's really wonderful when you top it with wasabi and dip it in salt.
I ordered the Beef Brisket Soybean Paste Stew as I was craving the hot soup while eating the meat. It is a savory soybean paste stew filled with various ingredients such as brisket, tofu, clams, and zucchini, and although the broth is heavy, it has a clean finish, making it quite attractive.
I ordered 3 servings of Beef Top Blade followed by Beef Outside Skirt. As it is a cut that does not have as much marbling compared to Outside Skirt, the meat is sliced thinly to prevent it from being tough.
The Beef Top Blade was less tender as it had less marbling, but it had a rich meat flavor and a chewy texture. So, depending on the person, may feel that Beef Outside Skirt is too oily and greasy, and some may feel that the Top Blade, which is cheaper than Outside Skirt but has a rich meaty flavor, is more delicious.
After finishing our meal, we ordered Noodles with Perilla Oil for dessert. It is buckwheat noodles mixed perilla oil, salt, and sugar, and sprinkled a generous amount of chives, seaweed, and nuts on top. The sweet, salty, and savory taste is so addictive that I can't stop thinking about it even after I get home.
Ilmirack is the most luxurious Korean BBQ restaurant in Phu My Hung, District 7. It is a very satisfying restaurant that is definitely worth. It's hard to visit often, but it's a great place to reserve a private room and have a meal with family or loved ones on special days.
#2. Premium BBQ ILMIRACK Menu
Ilmirack serves a variety of Korean dishes, including grilled meats such as beef and pork, stews, and meals, and the overall prices are relatively high. Pork, such as pork belly and pork neck, is relatively cheaper than beef, and during weekday lunches, they sell lunch specials with a good selection of ingredients and reasonable prices, so many office workers near the restaurant visit at that time.
On a Sunday afternoon, four friends and I visited for lunch and ordered the following.
Beef Outside Skirt: 680,000VND x 4 EA = 2,720,000VND
Beef Top Blade: 480,000VND x 3 EA = 1,440,000VND
Beef Brisket Soybean Paste Stew: 200,000VND x 2 EA = 400,000VND
Noodles with Perilla Oil: 170,000VND
Noodles with Perilla Oil(Small): 120,000VND x 2 EA = 240,000VND
Spicy Buckwheat Noodles: 170,000VND
Spicy Buckwheat Noodles(Small): 120,000VND
Jinro Soju: 150,000VND x 3 EA = 450,000VND
Wine Corkage: 300,000VND
At the 6,010,000VND plus 8% VAT was added, resulting in a fairly high amount of 6,490,800VND. Ilmirack is a restaurant with a high-priced atmosphere, excellent staff service, and fresh ingredients, making it a great restaurant to visit with family or important guests. This is a place that comes to mind when I want to eat authentic Korean style beef barbecue, and even though I don't go there often, I go there once in a while on a special day.
