We had four workers ask if we wanted our fried rice mixed. Eventually, we said yes out of annoyance. Service was less intrusive at their underground restaurant Noriko. The food there is also more fulfilling. Not likely to come back to PERILLA fare, but I would recommend the jigae with beef. It felt like a fusion between Japanese ramen and Korean stew. The broth was succulent, and the tofu soft and pillowy. The fried rice had an outer toasty layer of rice for a nice crunch. This was the highlight of my visit.

We had a wonderful experience. The service was fenomenal we asked for help with the grill and the waitresses promptly came to get us started. As soon as we were done with a side dish they would refill it. The food was fantastic! The combination of spices unique and the grilling experience was fun. We will be back!

Fun place for groups who like the communal dining Americanized ethnic dining experience- service is very, very good and encouragingly helpful, lots of variety, refillable sides and tasty and filling starters - good variety of mains including non-meat non-fish options - from very spicy to very flavorful and in between - fun cocktail menu includes fun mocktails - will return!

The experience here was genuinely amazing. Came here for a 6 person birthday dinner, and the restaurant went out of their way to make my friend feel special!! Food was super good, service was amazing (shoutout to our server Colin) and the ambiance was great. I would recommend this place to anyone who's looking for awesome Korean American food in Chicago (not a single item was a miss), but beyond that, it was just the best dining experience I think I've ever had in my life. Thank you thank you Perilla team!! Will 100% be back.

Top quality food and taste. The chef(s) perfectly created the dishes and the cocktails were well formulated.
Marcelo
Very attentive service. The grill at the tables works very well. A meal of grilled meats with a variety of vegetables in various preparations and presentations. Very good! The ambiance must be improved...

La propuesta superó mis expectativas y el servicio del personal de servicio fue excelente. Me agradó mucho el detalle que tuvieron conmigo por mi cumpleaños.

We had a very good time. We ordered the Chef's tasting menu and it was delicious! We chose to have our food cooked for us and Veronica, (the AGM) was very friendly and took care of us. It was our son's birthday and it was a perfect experience overall. We will be back again for sure!
It was a great experience we celebrated a birthday! the food was amazing, we especially liked the rice cake royale, the korean fried chicken and the Kimchi fried rice. Our server EunSoo was so kind, friendly and very welcoming!💗
Dave

I had high hopes for this restaurant based on their excellent reviews but I had a mixed experience with this place today. First, everyone here is super friendly and the service was great! They didn't have any diaper changing station but a young lady in black helped me find a place to take care of the situation. Really nice of her! Setting of the restaurant, atmosphere felt nice, however, the music was too loud. We ordered prime beef fried rice, bulgogi, chefs choice beef to be grilled and kimchi soup with banchan. Bulgogi & chefs beef was delicious but the rest was not so great. Kimchi soup was almost with no soup, the fried rice was almost like bibimbap without the sauce. Note: we were celebrating our daughter's birthday today.

We waited almost an hour for our table, but once we sat it was amazing. Service was great, food excellent. And, because we were inconvenienced by the wait, the chef and staff served us many freebies. I highly recommend this restaurant. We will be back next time we're in Chicago.

Felt over priced for what I got and the order of the service was bad. Appetizers came after main courses the table was over crowded with dishes and the flavors where not as good as others I've had.
