After a walk around Wiyangji pond, the writer came here for lunch with a baby and ordered the sanghwang loach soup set for two with mackerel and warm boiled pork, plus a whole Korean pork loin cutlet; the boneless grilled mackerel and clean-tasting boiled pork were easy for the baby to eat. Sweet pumpkin sikhye and sujeonggwa arrive as dessert, making Ilpum Irojeong a solid pick for a family lunch with a little one. ## Good to know - **Address**: 75-1 Baekmin-ro, Milyang, Gyeongsangnam-do (Beomchang Building, 1st floor) - **Hours**: Daily 11:00-21:00 - **Break time**: 15:30-17:00 - **Last order**: 20:30 - **Parking**: 4 spaces in front of the restaurant; roadside parking possible at lunchtime - **Group seating**: Private room for up to 8 (reservation seats); same-day booking does not seem possible - **Set menu**: Orders from 2 people - **Takeout**: Loach soup available from a generous 2-portion order - **Event**: Free ppeongtwigi (puffed rice crisps) worth 4,000 won for writing a Naver receipt review - **Price reference**: ₩4,000 ≈ $3 (2026-09-15) *as written by the visitor on Sep 13, 2026* Ilpum Irojeong is a loach soup (chueotang) Korean restaurant on the 1st floor of Beomchang Building, 75-1 Baekmin-ro, Milyang-si, Gyeongsangnam-do.

Besides the 4 spots in front, they said you can park along the street during lunchtime. ![Entrance of Ilpum Irojeong on the 1st floor of Beomchang Building](https://img.superchart.com/images/miryang-wiyangji-chueotang-baby-family-ilpum/miryang-wiyangji-chueotang-baby-family-ilpum-02-1a54j-900.webp) ![Parking space in front of Ilpum Irojeong](https://img.superchart.com/images/miryang-wiyangji-chueotang-baby-family-ilpum/miryang-wiyangji-chueotang-baby-family-ilpum-03-l8byc-900.webp) ## Wait time and seating at Ilpum Irojeong Seeing they had Table Order (a waitlist app), it looked like a place with waits during meal times! Luckily I visited before noon so I could eat without waiting. There was no wait, but there were quite a lot of customers. ![Dining hall tables with customers at lunchtime at Ilpum Irojeong](https://img.superchart.com/images/miryang-wiyangji-chueotang-baby-family-ilpum/miryang-wiyangji-chueotang-baby-family-ilpum-04-61os8-900.webp) ![Overview of the interior seating at Ilpum Irojeong](https://img.superchart.com/images/miryang-wiyangji-chueotang-baby-family-ilpum/miryang-wiyangji-chueotang-baby-family-ilpum-05-1biuq-900.webp) Since loach soup is generally something older folks eat for health, the crowd skewed older. But since there was grilled fish and boiled pork that a baby could eat, there were quite a few families visiting too. ![Room-like reserved group seating inside](https://img.superchart.com/images/miryang-wiyangji-chueotang-baby-family-ilpum/miryang-wiyangji-chueotang-baby-family-ilpum-06-1p9tr-m-900.webp) There was also a room-like area further inside, which they said was reserved seating! There's group seating for up to 8, so if you're coming with a group it's best to reserve ahead. It seemed like same-day reservations weren't possible. ## Ilpum Irojeong menu and what we ordered The menu had loach soup as a single dish, plus set combos: boiled pork and loach soup, righteye flounder grill with boiled pork and loach soup, and mackerel grill with boiled pork and loach soup. The grilled fish sets were only available from 2 people, and there were also individual dishes like boiled pork, righteye flounder grill, mackerel grill, assorted fried loach, potato pancake, octopus and seafood pancake, Korean pork loin cutlet, and Korean beef seaweed soup — a nice variety for both adults and kids. We ordered the mackerel and boiled pork loach soup set for two, plus a Korean pork loin cutlet. Loach soup is available for takeout too, but only from a generous 2-portion order! ![Basic table setting of the loach soup set at Ilpum Irojeong](https://img.superchart.com/images/miryang-wiyangji-chueotang-baby-family-ilpum/miryang-wiyangji-chueotang-baby-family-ilpum-07-1fyvs-900.webp) ![Basic side dishes including pickled wood ear mushrooms and japchae](https://img.superchart.com/images/miryang-wiyangji-chueotang-baby-family-ilpum/miryang-wiyangji-chueotang-baby-family-ilpum-08-16nlk-900.webp) ![Side dish plate with diced radish kimchi and chili seasoning](https://img.superchart.com/images/miryang-wiyangji-chueotang-baby-family-ilpum/miryang-wiyangji-chueotang-baby-family-ilpum-09-1r46v-m-900.webp) For basic side dishes we got pickled wood ear mushrooms, diced radish kimchi, cabbage kimchi, spicy chili seasoning, salad, and japchae (glass noodle stir-fry)! Looks like fried loach also comes with the set menu. The boiled pork had no gamey smell at all, so it was easy to feed to the baby. ![Loach soup set for two with grilled mackerel and boiled pork](https://img.superchart.com/images/miryang-wiyangji-chueotang-baby-family-ilpum/miryang-wiyangji-chueotang-baby-family-ilpum-10-1p4hg-1200.webp) ![Boneless grilled mackerel cooked until crisp](https://img.superchart.com/images/miryang-wiyangji-chueotang-baby-family-ilpum/miryang-wiyangji-chueotang-baby-family-ilpum-11-1f7zb-900.webp) ### Boneless grilled mackerel the baby could eat The mackerel took time to grill so it came out last, but it was crisped up nicely and, being boneless, was convenient and delicious to eat without having to pick out bones. It was seasoned just salty enough to go with rice — perfect. Looks like each person gets one piece. Once the whole set was laid out, the table was completely full. Since I go around with a baby, I tend to pick Korean restaurants with dishes a baby can eat, and this Milyang loach soup spot, Ilpum Irojeong, was good for that after a trip to Wiyangji. ### Loach soup loaded with siraegi (dried radish greens) The main dish of Ilpum Irojeong, loach soup. It's packed with dried radish greens (siraegi) and rich, so it filled us up well. You can add minced garlic and sancho powder to taste. My husband, who loves loach soup, says it's not real loach soup until you add minced garlic and chopped chili peppers too. Since it's considered a restorative dish, I even fed the baby a little of the broth. ![Ilpum Irojeong's loach soup loaded with dried radish greens](https://img.superchart.com/images/miryang-wiyangji-chueotang-baby-family-ilpum/miryang-wiyangji-chueotang-baby-family-ilpum-12-1cudh-900.webp) ### Fried loach and warm boiled pork (onsuyuk) It had been a while since I had fried loach, and since we ordered the set, we got to taste it without ordering it separately. They also gave us fried sweet potato alongside. Crispy and warm — so good. ![Fried loach and fried sweet potato served with the set](https://img.superchart.com/images/miryang-wiyangji-chueotang-baby-family-ilpum/miryang-wiyangji-chueotang-baby-family-ilpum-13-1ssp9-900.webp) The boiled pork was soft and warm, and went well dipped in ssamjang (dipping sauce) and salted seafood. It paired nicely with the doenjang chili seasoning too. If side dishes run low, you can grab more from the self-serve bar. ![Boiled pork served with ssamjang and salted seafood](https://img.superchart.com/images/miryang-wiyangji-chueotang-baby-family-ilpum/miryang-wiyangji-chueotang-baby-family-ilpum-14-1hn5a-900.webp) ![Extra side dishes taken from the self-serve bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/miryang-wiyangji-chueotang-baby-family-ilpum/miryang-wiyangji-chueotang-baby-family-ilpum-15-9eq8v-900.webp) ## Whole Korean pork loin cutlet: the dish to add for kids Just in case the baby didn't eat the grilled fish or boiled pork, we also ordered the Korean pork loin cutlet. Freshly fried and topped with demi-glace sauce, it was tasty enough for adults too, not just a kids' menu item. I honestly have a kid's palate myself, so truth be told, the cutlet was better to me than the loach soup, haha. It was soft and crispy, so I'd recommend ordering it if you're going with a child. ![Korean pork loin cutlet topped with demi-glace sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/miryang-wiyangji-chueotang-baby-family-ilpum/miryang-wiyangji-chueotang-baby-family-ilpum-16-a16oz-900.webp) ## Dessert: sweet pumpkin sikhye and sujeonggwa After finishing the meal, we got sweet pumpkin sikhye (rice punch) and sujeonggwa (cinnamon-persimmon punch) for dessert. It had been a while since I had sujeonggwa, and it was really good. Sweet pumpkin sikhye takes a lot of effort to make, and you rarely see it served as dessert outside hanjeongsik (Korean full-course) restaurants — so it's clear this Milyang loach soup spot, Ilpum Irojeong, puts real care into their desserts too. On top of that, they even gave us ppeongtwigi (puffed rice snack) worth ₩4,000 for writing a Naver receipt review! Make sure to take advantage of the event. Recommending Ilpum Irojeong as a good place for a meal with a baby in Milyang. ## Where it is - Ilpum Irojeong (일품 이로정) - 75-1 Baekmin-ro, Milyang-si, Gyeongsangnam-do, South Korea - 경상남도 밀양시 백민로 75-1 범창빌딩 1층 - 35.4993087, 128.7463068 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%9D%BC%ED%92%88%20%EC%9D%B4%EB%A1%9C%EC%A0%95/@35.4993087,128.7463068,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@sikdang-sketchbook/miryang-wiyangji-chueotang-baby-family-ilpum/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
