50 Best Korean Restaurants in Calgary

“I recently visited Gogi Resto in Calgary for some Korean BBQ, and it was a great experience overall. The restaurant had a lively atmosphere and the food came out quickly, which is always a plus for an all-you-can-eat spot.

The selection of meats was fresh—especially the pork belly and beef slices, which cooked nicely on the grill. I also enjoyed the fried chicken and sides; the kimchi and dipping sauces added a lot of flavor to the meal. The lettuce wraps were fresh and perfect for balancing the richness of the grilled meat.“

“One of few five star ratings I've given where I wish I could rate higher. These fellas are so friendly, so excited to share their food and just such a pleasant lot to deal with.

Very welcoming staff, great food and prices, and overall an experience that will leave you with a big ol' smile. Dosirak rips, 10/10 recommend“

“Visited the Red Deer branch and tried the mango ice cream with matcha—so delicious! I only meant to stop for dessert, but it was so good I finished every bite. 😋“

“We miss it here in germany. We love this food, visited tow times in Cochrane!!!“

“Great value. Food quality higher than average, price good, and portions large. Food seems healthy. Overall very good value. First picture is bibimbap, second is Dosirak. Also had the chicken curry (karage style), it was tasty, filling with lots of rice and made with coconut milk. Tokoyaki seemed standard.“

“The food is delicious! Even the little kids ate really well, which was great. We ordered jjolmyeon as a side and had it with the pork cutlet, and the combination was amazing. My child loved the pork cutlet, so we’ll definitely be coming back again. 😊“

“The food was delicious and very fast to reach our table. The lady at the front was very helpful and nice and everyone greeted us and said goodbye.

The house sauce was delicious too! I recommend this place and I'm going to definitely try and visit whenever I come back to Calgary.“

“This is our go-to spot right under our apartment, and we come here all the time. The owner, Bona, is incredibly friendly and remembers her regulars by name, which always makes us feel so welcome.

The chicken is consistently amazing: super crispy with perfectly balanced seasoning, and the prices are very reasonable. What really stands out is the care they put into everything, especially the takeout packaging, from sauces and containers - all are secured so nothing spills or moves. It’s honestly the most thoughtful packing I’ve seen.

Great food, kind people, and true attention to detail. We’re lucky to live closeby. Highly recommend.“

“A very nice place on the map 😉, delicious food that you have to try🫰, wonderful and friendly service.“

“I ordered the seafood tofu soup and it was really delicious. The broth was super fresh and full of seafood flavour, so it seems like the restaurant uses very fresh ingredients. What surprised me the most was that there was even crab in it—so good! Totally satisfied my Asian taste buds! I’ll definitely come back again!“

“In bow vallet square, +15 connected food court. Has lineup. Fast assembly line. Good number of topping extras, and you chose your heat and meat. Lots of sauce. I like sweet and found it very sweet, the chicken was too sweet, but still okay. Value good for current prices, around $12.“

“Coco Cups is a little gem. The space is small, but the food quality and portions are excellent, and we usually go for takeout. The staff are always kind, welcoming, and genuinely warm. Every visit feels less like a good restaurant stop and more like being welcomed into someone’s home. Highly recommended!

I’ve visited both in summer and many a times this winter. All time favourite!“

“If you’re looking for authentic Korean street food in Calgary, look no further than this cozy little gem tucked away in Chinatown. It’s a family-run spot, basic in setup, but that’s exactly what you want from a street food place, and the warmth of the owners more than makes up for any lack of frills.

I’ve been coming here almost every week for a year now, and the longest I’ve managed to stay away is three weeks. The menu covers all the Korean street food staples, but I keep coming back for one thing: the Bulgogi Kimbap. It’s become my ultimate comfort food, the kind of thing that genuinely makes a bad day a little bit better. One thing I particularly appreciate is that they skip the burdock root, which makes it even better in my books. Dine in and you’ll be treated to a bowl of their fish cake soup on the side, which is a lovely touch.

And if you’re taking it to go, keep an eye out for their adorable kimbap-themed takeout paper, a small detail that shows just how much care goes into the place.
Ssoyummy is honestly one of the few reasons that makes the commute to the office worthwhile. Five stars, no question.“

“Chun Jang delivered a solid and enjoyable meal with several standout dishes. The spicy squid noodle soup was the clear highlight. The broth had a robust pepper-forward profile with a clean heat that did not overwhelm the aromatics, and the portion of squid was notably generous and well prepared. This single dish would justify a return visit.

The fried rice carried the characteristic wok-derived fragrance and paired well with the accompanying black bean sauce, offering a balanced savory element. The black bean noodles were less successful. The sauce leaned toward the sweet end of the spectrum, which limited depth and made it the least preferred item among our group.

The sweet and sour pork met expectations. The coating remained crisp, the sauce was well proportioned, and it functioned as a reliable classic that rounded out the meal.

Overall, Chun Jang offers strong execution on its spicy and savory dishes. The spicy squid noodle soup, in particular, deserves attention for its broth and portion quality.“

“Fun place to start your night 😋 food is flavourful, vibes are great, and it kinda feels like you’re in Seoul - especially because of the friendly service, they know how to make their customers feel special. Drinks are strong. Would recommend!“

“Roy’s Kitchen is one of my husband’s and my favorite restaurants in Calgary. I am from Korea and he is Canadian, and we both love their food because it has a great balance between traditional Korean flavors and modern fusion.

Although the dining area feels less like a conventional restaurant and more like a food court, the food quality and prices are really amazing. They also sell ready-to-eat traditional Korean soups and side dishes, and we always pick up a few whenever we visit.

I only wish they were a bit closer to our neighborhood. We live on the north side of Calgary, but we never mind making the trip because the food at Roy’s Kitchen is just that good.“

“After trying many Korean BBQ places in Calgary, this one is easily the best. Truly the best.

I have been here twice, and both experiences were excellent. The service was consistently attentive and friendly, the food was very fresh, and the restaurant itself was clean and well maintained.

One thing I really appreciate is that the beef is not overly marinated or drowned in heavy sauces. Since we work out regularly, this lighter preparation is much more suitable for us, and you can really taste the quality of the meat. The ventilation is also good, so the smoky smell is not overwhelming compared to many other BBQ places.

It honestly has all the strengths you would expect from a great Korean BBQ restaurant. During winter, the window seating can be a bit cold, but once we mentioned it to the staff, they immediately offered to move us and even cleaned an extra table for us. We truly appreciated the effort and kindness.

I would confidently recommend this place to anyone looking for high quality Korean BBQ in Calgary.“

“Visited Izumi today for a take away lunch. Courteous and friendly service. Ordered a rice with chicken katsu and spicy noodle/pork dish. It was tasty with good size portion.
Amazing. Thank you. We are tourists from Perth, Western Australia. Thank you.“

“Hanbo Korean Noodle serves some of the best Korean comfort food I’ve had in the city. The staff are incredibly kind and welcoming, and the entire experience feels warm and genuine from the moment you walk in. The flavours are rich, comforting, and deeply authentic — the kind of food that feels like it was lovingly cooked at home by someone’s mother.

The noodles were absolutely fantastic, and the seafood pancake was outstanding: perfectly crispy, packed with flavour, and easily one of the highlights of the meal. Every dish tasted fresh, homemade, and made with real care.

This place has such a cozy, heartfelt atmosphere that you leave feeling comforted and already looking forward to coming back.“

“I recently visited the Korean BBQ & Street Food restaurant at Westbrook Mall, and I was thoroughly impressed. The food quality was outstanding, with each dish bursting with authentic flavors and prepared to perfection. The service was equally commendable, with friendly and attentive staff who made the dining experience even more enjoyable. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great meal and excellent service. I definitely plan to return soon to try more items from their menu.“

“Enjoyed the food, service and ambience. Will definitely be back.“

“really delicious food. the cream tangsuyuk is a must try! friendly staff.“

“The food is delicious and the service is warm, caring and attentive, like visiting an auntie. Came with a friend who has spent time in Korea, and she said it tasted like being there. Interior is clean and absolutely unassuming, bordering on a cafeteria feel. Dedicated street entry on the ground floor of the Stonehaven condo building.“

“Really great little place. I came in for the lunch special and was not disappointed. Really good value for how much food you get, and the quality is all good. You get a really balanced meal, filled with protein, fibre and carbohydrates. You can taste the heritage and tradition in all the side dishes. The beef was charred just right to give a perfect balance of sweetness and bitterness. The interior is simple and charming, and the staff are friendly too. Couldn’t ask for more.“

“Best chicken sandwich in Calgary!!“

“Amazing food, staff are so sweet and personable. Had the best time 100% would recommend.“

“I had very good experience Told them that it was my birthday and they gave me cake 🎂 a very good cake Very nice staff very great food I will go there again Thank you for my birthday cake 🎂“

“I had the mandu (dumpling, pot sticker) and the japjae. The mandu was excellent; most dumplings at restaurants have a tough outer skin or are too thick, or don't have enough filling. This was just right.

The side dishes (a favorite of any Korean meal) was ok (flavour and attention to detail were a little lacking). The kimchi was subpar. I was a little saddened by this as the side dishes can really complement your meal, and enhance it.

The japjae was also ok. I have had better (I can also make it better) but otherwise the dining experience was positive.

The restaurant has several soup dishes, so if you're a fan of that, you can check it out. Pricing is fairly standard for a Korean restaurant. Ordering is by tablet, situated at your table.

Footnote: it's a little tricky finding the restaurant, since there are multiple merge lanes and it's located in a small strip mall immediately after you turn left off 14th.

You might be better off parking in the adjacent strip mall across Dollarama and walking over instead.“

“All fresh. Staff are all cute except to the girl with long eyelashes.“

“好味道，份量足，價錢合理“

“Today I tried Seafood Cream Udon for the first time — and it was absolutely delicious. The portion size really surprised me. I came in very hungry, but after this amazing dish I left full and happy. The creamy flavor was rich, the seafood was fresh, and the noodles were cooked perfectly.

I definitely recommend Korean cuisine and especially this wonderful place. I’ll definitely come back again 🙌“

“It was our First time visiting this place, but yoooo exceeded our expectations. It’s the best korean restaurant we’ve ever been to. 👌“

“Great food, Excellent Service Tried first time since pre Covid and still excellent.“

“Just had the Kim's boneless chicken bites, (spicy). One of the best dishes I have ever had. I don't live anywhere near the farmers market but anytime I go near there I will be stopping and picking up an order. I took it to go so that I could share with my wife, meaning I saved her a piece lol. I told them they need to bottle this sauce and sell it. The spicy sauce is sweet at first but then has a spicy kick but it's not out of hand so I think just about anyone could enjoy it.“

“One of our favourite stops at the Avenida Food Hall. The katsu on rice is superb. Fresh shredded cabbage, perfectly sticky rice, the crispiest katsu topped with sweet and flavourful sauces. Had it a number of times now and it’s always consistently excellent with a great portion size.

The service is super nice and quick, exactly what you want from a place like this. Highly recommend!“

“The jajangmyeon (black bean noodles) here is amazing! One of the most authentic place in Calgary. The service is first class and all the staff are great. My mom and I love to come here together. Highly recommend for anyone looking for good jajangmyeon!“

“I've been coming to Kimchi House since high school which was about 15 years ago. A lot of ups and downs these 15 years: three jobs, two houses, 1 failed marriage, but the great food and value at Kim Chi House has stayed consistent. Great food at great prices from a local family-owned joint, ZERO nonsense. You can't ask for more.“

“Great food.. just need a wifi“

“I’ve come here twice now and both times have been exceptional! We ordered the beef bulgogi BBQ and the budae jjigae 🥩🥘. The beef bulgogi was great but what really makes me come here is the budae jjigae! It’s soo addicting and comforting (especially during the colder weather 😆). They’re also very generous with the sides (my favourites are the kelp/seaweed and soft tofu). Although it is a small space, it’s definitely worth it. The service is great and I like how they serve warm tea with every meal 🍵. The prices are reasonable, ranging from $16-$20ish (worth it since it’s very filling). I recommend and look forward to visiting soon!“

“Food was pretty good but service was mediocre to lacking;

Never refilled our water and had to ask for a water jug refill,
Didn’t really check up on us. Didn’t turn down the heat on the pan so all the soup evaporated.
Didn’t offer to refill side dishes.

Seafood pancake was amazing though definitely the stand out dish!“

“Was a really good meal . Every thing I ordered was remarkable ! The service was great and friendly . I would go back again indeed . I highly recommend this place !“

“Great experience, amazing staff and everyone was incredibly friendly. Food was fantastic! Certainly recommend this exceptional place!“

“My boys love the chicken and fries! The team offered the great assistance for I was alone taking two boys for dinner. Great Korean cuisine, considerate team and nice dining environment. Thank you :)“

“Had a great experience at this Korean restaurant. The soups with rice were absolutely delicious! We orderes S5 & S8, they are rich in flavor with nice layers, yet not overly salty.

My family also mentioned that the restroom was very clean, which is always a plus.

Service was solid too. As soon as we arrived, staff greeted us and kindly asked us to wait while they arranged a table. We were seated pretty quickly, and the menu and water were brought to us right away. Overall, a very pleasant dining experience.

😊💕“

“First time at Sole and our group had a good time. The pricing is reasonable and they offer a lot more food options than other karaoke spots in town. Plus the service was fast.

We were given some complimentary soju, which was new to most of us, but it tasted great and was a nice surprise. The table layout made it a bit awkward to get up from our seats. The song selection was decent, though there were still quite a few songs we couldn’t find, but there was also an option to connect your phone via Bluetooth and display songs on the screen.

As a note if each person in your group spends a minimum of $35, the room rate is waived.“

“Absolutely fantastic dinner experience. Ordered the wagyu beef option as well as the beer tower. Everything was excellent including the accompaniments. Great ambience. Stellar service. Thank you Kaylie for the wonderful birthday dinner. We will be back.“

“We made a reservation here for my birthday, and the receptionist was really friendly. Their signature yum yum chicken is delicious and kid friendly along with their Chicken Mayo and Beef Bulgogi Bobcups, in which were well served and delicious. I will save this on my list for places to eat if I ever crave for some Korean style chicken again.“

“I had very good experience Told them that it was my birthday and they gave me cake 🎂 a very good cake Very nice staff very great food I will go there again Thank you for my birthday cake 🎂“

“I come here every once and a while, have never regretted ordering. The customer service is very great, and the employees are kind. Their food may seem pricey, but it's worth the quality and unique taste especially from this brand new, small pop up place.

Most popular orders I see are normally the cold noodles, mukbangs or skewers.
Defiently give it a try!!“

“Many wonderful options for $26.99/per person for dinner. The only question is, how empty to leave your stomach when arriving. Look forward to another visit very soon.“
