Perilla is a neighborhood eatery located on Haight Street. The menu is basic but offers delicious options like Five Spice Chicken with Garlic Noodles and Beef Combo Pho. The chicken has a crispy exterior and juicy interior, while the rare beef in the pho is tender. Many customers agree that Perilla serves the best beef bone broth in the entire Bay Area, with a pure quality that can even turn to gelatin when chilled. While some found the garlic noodles a bit dry, they still enjoyed them with the chicken. However, the Curry Chicken Garlic Noodles received mixed reviews, as the curry sauce overshadowed the traditional garlic flavors and the chicken was in large chunks without a grilled taste.
The atmosphere is described as lackluster, focusing more on takeaway orders than dine-in experiences. The service is warm and welcoming, making it a decent place to eat in the area. The restaurant can get chaotic with many couriers, which affects the dining experience. Despite limited parking, the restaurant is wheelchair accessible and spacious inside, making it a good value for both large parties and those looking to grab a meal after a tattoo session at Idle Hand nearby.
