Perilla Fare
West Loop

PERILLA fare
PERILLA korean american fare opened in 2019 and is the first of two PERILLA locations in Chicago. Located in the West Loop, PERILLA fare is the original location centered around traditional flavors and ingredients and provides a communal dining experience with table-side grilling. We encourage our guests to join in on the fun and take part in grilling meats, seafood, and vegetables on the grill. We provide an energetic, vibrant, and artistic atmosphere with playful modern interpretations of classic Korean dishes. Whether you're looking for an intimate night out or gather your group of friends for Korean BBQ, we hope you find a unique one-of-a-kind experience tasting the flavors of Korean cuisine and exploring the category of Korean alcohol, known as sool.
