"Korean American destination Perilla marries homestyle Korean fare with Midwestern styles and ingredients. Many customers clamor for its great fried chicken and grilled meats, but be sure to explore other options like kimchi silken tofu stew and stir-fried glass noodles." - Eater Staff, Ashok Selvam
"Partners Thomas Oh and Andrew Lim introduce the world to Korean Chicago deep-dish pizza." - Ashok Selvam

"If San Soo Gab San and Cho Sun Ok are the old guard of Chicago’s KBBQ scene, Perilla in the West Loop is the hip, new kid on the block. The stylish dining room is decked out in dark wood, vibrant abstract art, and grill tables with shiny gold kintsugi streaks. It’s good for a casual dinner with friends who think meat is the foundation of the food pyramid, but there's also more than enough mood lighting for a date night. Their meat-tasting plates cover a wide range of cuts from fatty duroc pork belly to buttery A5 Miyazaki wagyu, and a $20 upgrade adds sweet and salty dukbokki with bulgogi, crispy mandoo, and soybean stew. And with a long drink list, there’s no shortage of wine, cocktails, and tangy omijia-flavored makgeolli to sip on between meaty bites." - john ringor, adrian kane
"You come to Perilla for Korean BBQ (tables have a gas grill), but make sure to focus on the other Korean dishes—like the spicy fire chicken, dumplings, or the kimchi pancake, which is one of the best in Chicago. This place is ideal for a date night in the neighborhood (there’s a great back patio), or a group dinner." - sam faye, adrian kane, veda kilaru, nick allen
