The 12 Best Restaurants In The Loop - Chicago - The Infatuation
"Chicago is oversaturated with beef options, but this restaurant from the Perilla team zhuzhes up the American steakhouse with Korean BBQ flair. Filet mignon and ribeye appear, but unlike Western beef spots, you can order banchan, ssam, and dipping sauces on the side, and the staff cooks the meat to juicy perfection on tabletop grills. Twists on sides and pasta courses are also excellent, like monkey bread with gochujang honey butter, grilled mushrooms with sweet soy sauce, or saucy kalguksu bolognese. Perilla Steakhouse's location in the L7 Hotel guarantees many out-of-towners inside the simple yet elegant wooden dining space. But one bite of buttery wagyu wrapped in perilla can charm even the most tourist-allergic locals into enjoying a meal here.
