"One of the city’s newer Korean restaurants, Silla touts itself as “modern Korean,” which mostly seems to refer to the sleek, contemporary-looking dining room, though the food is also presented a little more elegantly than your average neighborhood Korean spot. The restaurant is known for its galbi tang, a rich beef short rib soup, and it also offers distinctive, harder-to-find dishes like yookweh (a sesame-oil-based beef tartare), oysters fried in an egg batter, and sizzling stone pots of eel-topped bibimbap." - Luke Tsai
