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, and Sunday from 5–8:30 PM. Given these hours, this is an evening choice rather than a lunch stop.

Who should say yes, and 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, and 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.
