" In a town full of great Korean food, Perilla stands out for its focus on banchan. The former pop-up now operates out of a tiny cottage in a Chinatown cul-de-sac. Umbrellas sway over patio tables, people sip yakju and yuzu soda in the garden, and, much like the drama at Bravocon, all of the vegetables on the menu change seasonally. The dishes we’ve had here let greens do the talking, like a dosirak arranged with Italian sweet pepper muchim, marinated okra, and charred, honey-glazed cod. So ditch your boring lunch and just eat gimbap next to a banana tree, instead. " - Brant Cox, Sylvio Martins, Nikko Duren
