I kept meaning to go, and I finally made it to Ilpum Irojeong (일품 이로정) ✨ Hours: 11:00–21:00 Break time: 15:30–17:00 ![Photo from a visit to Ilpum Irojeong](https://img.superchart.com/images/miryang-chueotang-suyuk-godeungeo-irojeong/miryang-chueotang-suyuk-godeungeo-irojeong-01-1g86i-900.webp) We visited late in the evening that day, so no wait! Ilpum Irojeong is a Milyang loach soup restaurant where you can register for the Tableling waitlist. ## A loach soup set with warm boiled pork and mackerel There were so many menu options, but from the sets we picked the warm boiled pork + grilled mackerel Sanghwang mushroom loach soup set (₩18,000 × 2), which even came with grilled mackerel! ![Warm boiled pork, mackerel, and Sanghwang loach soup set menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/miryang-chueotang-suyuk-godeungeo-irojeong/miryang-chueotang-suyuk-godeungeo-irojeong-02-12v6y-900.webp) ![Warm boiled pork, mackerel, and Sanghwang loach soup set menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/miryang-chueotang-suyuk-godeungeo-irojeong/miryang-chueotang-suyuk-godeungeo-irojeong-03-1xy0a-900.webp) But wait, what is this soju price at this Milyang loach soup spot, Irojeong? ₩2,900—does that even make sense? 👀 At that price, I simply couldn't resist, so we ordered a bottle of Chamisul right away! ![Ordering ₩2,900 Chamisul](https://img.superchart.com/images/miryang-chueotang-suyuk-godeungeo-irojeong/miryang-chueotang-suyuk-godeungeo-irojeong-04-1q8aj-900.webp) One way to tell a good restaurant is whether the water is plain water or not...! At Irojeong, even the water is brewed with healthful Sanghwang mushrooms, apparently 👀 From the loach soup to the boiled pork—even the water—this Milyang restaurant felt like a proper restorative meal! Just one minute after ordering, they began setting out our warm boiled pork + mackerel Sanghwang loach soup set (₩36,000). ![Warm boiled pork, mackerel, and Sanghwang loach soup set spread](https://img.superchart.com/images/miryang-chueotang-suyuk-godeungeo-irojeong/miryang-chueotang-suyuk-godeungeo-irojeong-05-50zda-900.webp) ![Warm boiled pork, mackerel, and Sanghwang loach soup set spread](https://img.superchart.com/images/miryang-chueotang-suyuk-godeungeo-irojeong/miryang-chueotang-suyuk-godeungeo-irojeong-06-dmns8-900.webp) ![Warm boiled pork, mackerel, and Sanghwang loach soup set spread](https://img.superchart.com/images/miryang-chueotang-suyuk-godeungeo-irojeong/miryang-chueotang-suyuk-godeungeo-irojeong-07-p9ht2-900.webp) There were big chunks of boiled pork, colorful japchae (stir-fried glass noodles), fried loach, and sweet potato fritters. The main loach soup had not even arrived yet, but this spread alone was enough to polish off a bowl of rice! That glorious ₩2,900 soju 😆 And the grilled mackerel was glossy too—crisp outside and moist inside. ## Rich, smoothly blended Namwon-style loach soup At last, today's star arrived, still bubbling away: Irojeong's Namwon-style loach soup! ![Bubbling Namwon-style loach soup](https://img.superchart.com/images/miryang-chueotang-suyuk-godeungeo-irojeong/miryang-chueotang-suyuk-godeungeo-irojeong-08-2v61n-900.webp) You can really feel the care in Irojeong's loach soup! Irojeong is a Milyang restaurant serving food that is good for you ✨ Is yellow rice a trend in Milyang? I saw yellow rice at another place recently too! ![Loach soup set with yellow rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/miryang-chueotang-suyuk-godeungeo-irojeong/miryang-chueotang-suyuk-godeungeo-irojeong-09-4jkkg-1200.webp) Ta-da! Here is our neatly set-out warm boiled pork + mackerel Sanghwang loach soup set (₩36,000) + Chamisul (₩2,900). ![Loach soup set and Chamisul table spread](https://img.superchart.com/images/miryang-chueotang-suyuk-godeungeo-irojeong/miryang-chueotang-suyuk-godeungeo-irojeong-10-zgq09-900.webp) Hojjogi had his with rice; I had mine by the spoonful. First, a toast—! Time to taste the loach soup broth ✨ The ingredients were blended so smoothly that nothing caught in my mouth, and Irojeong's Namwon-style loach soup had such a rich flavor. Ground sansho pepper was set out at every table, so you can add it to taste. I added Cheongyang chili peppers, while Hojjogi added both Cheongyang chili peppers and minced garlic. That glossy mackerel. When he picks up a nice big piece like that, you know what? It is definitely mine 🤍 Sweet Hojjogi. ![A glossy piece of grilled mackerel](https://img.superchart.com/images/miryang-chueotang-suyuk-godeungeo-irojeong/miryang-chueotang-suyuk-godeungeo-irojeong-11-1jkk4-900.webp) The sweet staff member noticed I was wearing white and brought me an apron 🤍 I got so well looked after today 😆 ## Adding an octopus seafood pajeon Then the octopus seafood pajeon caught my eye... 🔥 The visuals were so intense, there was no way I could not order it! Wow! Look at that rough, craggy surface 👀 This is the kind of crunch that could scrape the roof of your mouth—exactly what I wanted! Delicate Hojjogi carefully cutting the pajeon (green onion pancake), hahaha. The shrimp were plump, the octopus had a great texture, and Irojeong's seafood pajeon had a crispy surface that practically called for drinks. ![Octopus seafood pajeon](https://img.superchart.com/images/miryang-chueotang-suyuk-godeungeo-irojeong/miryang-chueotang-suyuk-godeungeo-irojeong-12-1gb94-900.webp) Ah... we smashed it again today 🐷 ![The table after finishing the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/miryang-chueotang-suyuk-godeungeo-irojeong/miryang-chueotang-suyuk-godeungeo-irojeong-13-1hwxp-900.webp) They even gave us heart-shaped ppeongtwigi (puffed rice snack) when we paid and headed out... 🤍 ![Heart-shaped puffed rice snacks received after paying](https://img.superchart.com/images/miryang-chueotang-suyuk-godeungeo-irojeong/miryang-chueotang-suyuk-godeungeo-irojeong-14-fk8vb-900.webp) ![Heart-shaped puffed rice snacks received after paying](https://img.superchart.com/images/miryang-chueotang-suyuk-godeungeo-irojeong/miryang-chueotang-suyuk-godeungeo-irojeong-15-7jsjk-900.webp) ![Heart-shaped puffed rice snacks received after paying](https://img.superchart.com/images/miryang-chueotang-suyuk-godeungeo-irojeong/miryang-chueotang-suyuk-godeungeo-irojeong-16-1fv38-900.webp) The food was generous and delicious, the prices were kind, and the thoughtful staff service was a bonus. I totally understand why Ilpum Irojeong is such a famous Milyang restaurant. The loach soup was rich and delicious, the side dishes were good, and the potato julienne pancake looked delicious too 👀 When the weather gets cold, I will have to go back for a steaming bowl of loach soup(?)! ## Where it is - Ilpum Irojeong (일품 이로정) - 75-1 Baengmin-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/@south-coast-meals/miryang-chueotang-suyuk-godeungeo-irojeong/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
