42 Best Korean Restaurants in Edmonton

“My favorite new place. Avacado saad with Shrimp is my favorite salad in the city. Spicy ribs are fantastic. The Journal/Sun gave this eatery 5 out of 5 stars. Well deserved.“

“Always delicious and very friendly service! Highly recommend to any who get a chance to stop in. Great value, authentic Korean food.“

“Delicious food and great service! I had the beef bibimbap, cold noodles, and Galbi, and they were all very good. The side dishes were also delicious, especially the kimchi.

IL Poom is easily one of the best Korean restaurants in Edmonton!“

“The taste and quality of the meat were excellent!! I ordered pork belly, beef rib finger and Japchae. It was the best in town even better than some restaurant in Korea! The onion Bandhan is excellent!! I never try something like this!! But the portion were little bit small, each dish only 4 pcs, average 2x-3x/ dish if port and beef! If 5-6pics per dish, will be more reasonable! Overall, it's a very decent Korean restaurant !“

“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 🎂“

“Forever an Edmonton classic. I take all my friends here for affordable pizza and drinks. The non pizza food is good, too, but bulgogi kimchi pizza is LIFE. They changed the pizza dough recipe when they sold a while back but it's spiced and SO good. They always have milkis and soju on hand and I always order an extra green onion cake. Diff forget the ranch and Sriracha on your pizza!“

“I’m so glad I tried the bulgogi ramen! The beef was so tender and juicy. The ramen broth had a rich depth that complemented the bulgogi without overpowering it. The noodles were chewy, just the way I like them. A great fusion of Korean flavors. I’ll definitely be coming back for this one!“

“Great service! staff are warm, attentive, and always smiling. Food is good, comes out fast, and the portions are generous. We were two people and still couldn’t finish. There are better Korean spots for flavor, but if you just want a quick, satisfying bite, this place is perfect.“

“I had a great experience at Gangnam Street Food! The place really captures the vibe of authentic Korean street food — lively, casual, and full of flavor. Everything I tried was fresh and delicious, especially the tteokbokki and corn dogs — absolutely amazing! The staff was friendly and helpful, and the service was quick. It’s the perfect spot if you’re craving Korean comfort food. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending it to friends!“

“man's top notch,only food reviewer i trust in Edmonton.“

“The food is TO DIE FOR. Their tangsuyuk (탕수육) is possibly the best thing I have ever tasted in my life, and I am obsessed with it. I never leave this restaurant without getting an extra order of it to go.

The jjajangmyeon and jjamppong (it has a lot more seafood than I expected - you can't see it in the photo, but there were 2 crab halves buried under the mountain of noodles and soup) are amazing, and I always get either one of those with some tangsuyuk. These 3 dishes are the trifecta, the holy trinity of this restaurant.

I've tried some of their other dishes like their kanpunggi, dumplings, and fried rice, and they were decent, but nothing too special. I found it hard to care, though, because the holy trinity is so good, you don't need anything else.“

“I’ve been here 3 times within 1.5 month because I love the Katsu as it is always fresh and crisp. The restaurant owner was very nice and her crews also very friendly. Today I tried the chicken instead of pork and it was very delicious too. You can have 1 time refill on the salad and soup that is so great. Worth your dollars and they also have buckwheat noodles that fits the summer weather to cool your off from the heat. Will keep visiting 👍🏻“

“Two- thumbs up! 👍 Great food and free mini probiotic drink after paying!🥰“

“Me and my best friend came here to eat yesterday, everything tasted amazing and we were so full, the service is really top notch (panda was an awesome sever) really recommend their pork back bone stew it made my evening it was so flavourful, my bestie really enjoyed their sweet n spicy chicken in her words “just 10/10”. We will be back, it was a great evening.“

“A great place on campus to get a quick bite. Their lunch specials are super tasty ranging from the bulgogi beef to the spicy pork options with lots of sides to choose from.There kitchen option (which only take a couple minutes longer) are also a great choice. I recommend the kimchi fried rice.I load up on the sesame sauce as a must too!“

“The first things I love about is decorating 💕💕💕and food are delicious 🤩🤩🤩I got the food which is I want 🍽🍽🍽love it love it BTW my food name is Ddukbokki 😋😋😋..I will go back there again 100%sure and will take my sister 😍😍“

“definitely me and my mom’s go-to place whenever we’re craving Korean food. The food is always so good — the meat is tender, the soup is super tasty, and the prices are just right for the quality you get.

One of the things I love is that there’s almost never a wait, so we can just walk in and enjoy a nice meal without the hassle. The owner is amazing too — always smiling and making you feel welcome. The service here honestly makes the whole experience even better.

If you’re looking for a cozy spot with great food and friendly vibes, I highly recommend giving Jung Korean Restaurant a try. It’s definitely worth it!“

“Super cute shop that smelled amazing! The lady at the counter was very kind and took the time to explain what each rice cake was and how to enjoy them. They just happened to have leftovers so we luckily got to try a few before picking, and they were all great! I'll be back for sure :)“

“Comida muy rica y la atención excelente“

“Had such a great time at Ginseng Restaurant with my friends! The food was so good — everything was fresh, flavorful, and came out fast. The vibe of the place was cozy but modern, perfect for catching up and enjoying a chill night out.

We also had the pleasure of meeting their amazing manager, Sang Hee. Super welcoming, attentive, and you can tell they really care about the service and experience. It honestly made our visit feel extra special. Definitely coming back again soon!“

“Update October 2025:
As good, if not better than the first time! Always impressed everytime I come here. The quality is always amazing and the staff are so friendly! Definitely worth the trip from the south side.

Original Post:
October 2024 - Came for dinner here and was surprised by the service, the convenience, the food, the atmosphere, everything! Conveniently order everything on your phone and they bring it right to the table. The pork belly was amazing, as were the beef short ribs! All the grilled meat was delicious in general! The kitchen foods were just as good, but, it’s so much fun cooking at the table! All you can eat is so worth it! Be aware there is a cost for wasted food so don’t order more than you can handle! Highly recommend checking this place out!“

“I went to this place with my family and it was so good! We ordered the sundae gukbap and korean pancake. The waiter brought out the food pretty fast and the service was great! I ended up licking the plate clean. If you ever want to go to a Korean restaurant this is your place!!!“

“I had this because seniors pizza was way too busy as usual. This food was amazing. The chicken was huge and the sauce was spectacular. the fries were crispy and the portion was amazing. 5 stars. You will not need disappointed.“

“The place is nice and very korean. Food serving is good and the staff are so polite And friendly.“

“Great staff, karaoke rooms have lots of space. A bit expensive to rent but otherwise nice and great if you have a large group!“

“Welcome to Hazeldean! From the decor, to the lattes, to the food, to the staff, everything was fantastic during my visit. A high-end coffee was exactly what our little community needed, adding to the other wonderful local businesses we have in the area. Looking forward to many more breakfasts and brunches in the future.“

“😍Best Korean fried chicken!“

“Really great Korean Fried Chicken and I love the dumplings too!“

“Amazing juicy and tender Korean style fried chicken. You’re able to mix and match from a good variety of flavours with the same order which I think is a plus. Fries are premium and mozzarella sticks give the cheese pull you’re looking for. Definitely didn’t disappoint. Thank you Dilshad!“

“The food is amazing, the staff is very nice and it is reasonably priced. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a place for date night.“

“I ordered food via Ubereats and asked them to put chili powder in my soup and chicken, and they did. My ramen's too hot I think it cleared up all of the blockages in my nose lol.

Big portions, savory food, nice packaging.

Thanks!“

“Good food, friendly service, pleasant ambiance.“

“We love the Potato cheese pull! It’s our favourite!“

“For quick and convenient Korean food, Koryo delivers consistently. The beef and ribs are flavorful, but the real standout is the potatoes. Coated in a sweet garlic sauce that almost gives them a dessert-like quality, they have an incredible texture. There's pieces that taste like caramel, pieces that taste more savory, it's delicious!“

“After return several times AND ordering online, i’ve come to a conclusion that yam yam consistently provides cheap and quality serving sizes every time! it’s a great spot for lunch or after school, and the food tastes delicious! the place is very clean, well decorated and the workers are always very pleasant and even bring the food to the table for me! (which i do not expect since it’s more of a “fast food” or “self serve, seat yourself” setting) i will be ordering regularly“

“Great food and atmosphere“

“It was my daughter's request to eat here for her birthday dinner. I'm southern, so I'm familiar with fried chicken and corn dogs. The fried chicken was excellent as well as the corn dogs. Had a coconut drink of some sort and it was delicious. Definitely will eat here again.“

“ADE taste good love it ... gonna come back again“

“We live in the sticks and my husband had to go to the city today and picked this up on his way home. He stored it in the fridge until dinner and reheated the chicken. The best and freshest salad, we tried the curried fried chicken (amazing) and I had my first real corn fritter! Highly recommend!“

“Ate here this evening. Food was amazing however the waiter was outstanding. Went above and beyond to accommodate our granddaughter. He thought the chicken might be too spicy so he brought her a small portion of non spicy chicken. He gave great suggestions for what to eat. If you want a family friendly restaurant eat here.“

“Onion cakes had a chewy texture, not dried, good onion flavor, good with the sweet chili sauce

Korean fried chicken was spicy on the menu but it was more on the sweet side. I didn't taste any spiciness. Good.

Avocado Smoothie made from frozen real fruit. Tapioca was chewy and sweet.

Viet coffee with condensed milk was missing the filter because they're using an espresso machine

Vermicelli was a big bowl and lots of meat. Enough to share with 2 people. Lemongrass chicken was dried but the beef and pork were so good! You can choose pork spring rolls instead of veg. Comes with it.“
