Why go
Perilla Korean American Fare is a sensible Chicago pick when the brief is Korean BBQ with more credibility than a casual fallback, but less ceremony than a formal tasting-menu night. Book it for a small group or date where shared ordering is part of the appeal; confirm dietary needs ahead if restrictions are strict.
About Perilla Korean American Fare
Perilla Korean American Fare is a Chicago dinner option for Korean BBQ. The venue is in Chicago, serves Korean BBQ, is closed Monday, opens for evening service Tuesday through Sunday. It is also listed as Opinionated About Dining Top Restaurants in North America Recommended for 2026.

Choose it for Korean BBQ in Chicago
The clearest reason to consider Perilla Korean American Fare is the cuisine fit: Korean BBQ in Chicago. That makes it most relevant for diners specifically looking for that category rather than a broadly defined fine-dining experience. The OAD 2026 recommendation adds a recognition point, but it is not a guide to price level, room style, or menu format.
Hours are also part of the planning value. Perilla Korean American Fare is closed on Monday, open Tuesday through Thursday from 5–8:30 PM, Friday and Saturday from 5–9:30 PM, Sunday from 5–8:30 PM. Given these hours, this is an evening choice rather than a lunch stop.
Who should say yes, who should look elsewhere
Say yes if the priority is Korean BBQ in Chicago and you want a venue with a 2026 Opinionated About Dining recommendation. That is a strong editorial signal, it is enough to make the restaurant a more intentional pick than choosing only from an unfiltered list.
Think twice if you need details on price, dietary accommodations, seating, menu structure, takeout, delivery, or a specific service format before deciding. For these details, guests with firm requirements should check directly with the restaurant before making it the anchor of the evening.
