Palilgu

The food and service were great! Most of our dishes were delicious, and everything came out in a timely manner. I was a little disappointed in the side banchan. While the potato salad was good, one of the sides seemed to be plain boiled broccoli with a very lightly drizzled gochujang (or similar) sauce, which felt lacking compared to the rest of the meal. That said, we really enjoyed the Palilgu wings with the soy garlic sauce, and the corn cheese was amazing. Our waitress was attentive and very nice. Overall, a good experience and worth trying!

Palilgu serves modern Korean fare with thoughtful preparation and balanced flavors. We tried the beef tartare, sablefish, tteokbokki, eel donburi, and squid stir-fry. The tartare was a standout - well seasoned with sesame and fresh herbs. and the sablefish was incredibly rich and umami, easily the most memorable dish of the night. The tteokbokki had the perfect chewy texture and portion, comforting without being too heavy, while the eel donburi came out fragrant with crisped claypot rice. The squid stir-fry was classic and satisfying, though less distinctive. The restaurant itself is woodsy and intimate with a number of cozy booth seating. Portions lean small, though the quality of each dish makes it a pleasant Korean dining experience nonetheless.

I usually dont leave reviews but this resto deserves it! I’ve lived in Korea and was so impressed with the food here, felt like I was transported back <3 got the LA galbi, tteokbokki, bibimbap, and strawberry bingsu. Will definitely go back to try their other dishes~ @teureissi

Went on a Saturday night around 6:45 without a reservation so they only had room to sit at the bar. Arturo was our bartender/server. He was so attentive and gave great recommendations. The vibe and food was great. The bartender made the experience even better 🙂

Started with happy hour. The Korean tea old fashioned was a perfect start. Well balanced and tasty. The seafood pancake and fried half chicken were incredible! Must get and will be getting again

Everything was delicious. Portions were small. Great atmosphere. Korean tea OF on the happy hour menu was great! Very quiet for a Thursday. Good drink prices. I had the salmon, crudo, skewer. Will come back.

Best kimchi I’ve ever had. All the food was amazing and the service was top notch!
