Meet LA’s New Wave Of Korean Food - Los Angeles - The Infatuation
"Bright orange daikon kimchi, perfectly rolled eggs stuffed with seaweed, and the prettiest box of seasoned rice we’ve ever seen - looking through the menu at this Korean banchan pop-up is like flipping through the world’s most beautiful coffee table book. But Perilla’s about more than just looks - chef Jihee Kim takes what is normally considered as side dishes, gives it a Cinderella-esque transformation (we’re partial to the Brandy version), and turns them into the stars of the show. She utilizes fresh, local produce found at farmers’ markets and creates seasonal dishes like spicy summer squash braised with garlic in chili oil, green bean muchim with creamy garlic confit and ground sesame seeds, and charred okra marinated overnight in soy vinegar. Each dish is bright, refreshing, and completely what you need after a long day of deleting all of your tweets. Perilla is takeout only, head to their website to place an order." - Kat Hong
