Perilla LA

One of the best kimchis I have ever had. Spicy beef was actually sweet with a lot of sauce. Wasn’t for me, but I can see why people love it. Gimbap was fantastic. Cucumber yuzu drink was great as well. Nice outdoor seating

I'm a little late to the party, but wow this small shop takes banchan to a different level entirely. Perilla occupies a small cottage off the street (enter past Heavy Water coffee). There are no tables inside, just some displays of whatever banchan is fresh that day, sold in to-go containers. There is also a menu of prepared foods that you can order and the owner will bring to you assuming you are sitting on one of the cafe tables outside. It was a beautiful sunny day today so my friend and I decided to make the brief 6 minute drive from the office. Everything we ordered was fantastic, especially the cod. The kimbap was unforgettable and possibly the best I have had in recent memory. Free parking is on the neighboring streets.

Tasty but expensive, for having all the food premade it's more expensive than I would recommend. We got the garlic noodles, the gimbap, the sesame green beans and the sweet potato jorim. Everything was very tasty. Our favorite was the green beans and the garlic noodles.

Delicious! Google Maps directions are WRONG! Entrance is on Centennial St. behind Heavy Water Coffee.

I had the banchan rice combo and was quite surprised by the variety of flavors. will definitely go back and try more items for my next excursion

The food was delicious and loved the cute outdoor patio!

Delicious and fresh bonchon eats. Great lunch spot. Very nice outdoor courtyard space, with relaxing and fun atmosphere.

My go-to spot for delicious contemporary Korean banchan.
