Perilla
Included In
Much like Seasons 1 to 6 of Grey’s Anatomy (the show’s definitive prime), the garlic noodles with five-spice chicken from Perilla bring us comfort—and lots of it. We love swinging by the casual Vietnamese restaurant in the Sunset on a random weeknight, getting a pile of chewy noodles, and inhaling its garlicky scent as if it were our only form of self-care. Combined with some crispy-skinned chicken doused in fish sauce, there’s really nothing better. Perilla also has solid pho, rice plates, and appetizers like papaya salad and imperial rolls, but the garlic noodles are the way to go.
