39 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.“

“Dining here was an absolute delight! The owner was super friendly. There didn't appear to be private rooms, but the main hall is quite roomy. According to the owner, the place fits up to 40 people, so it's spacious enough for a group of 10 to 15 to dine comfortably.

I was honestly blown away by the jjambbong because it actually had real crab in it. It's so hard to find even back in Korea, so it felt nostalgic and extra special. Both the black bean noodles and jjambbong easily surpass many famous restaurants in Korea. I also tried one of the fried chicken dishes—crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and packed with flavor. Highly recommended!“

“IL Poom is one of the best Korean restaurants we’ve tried in Edmonton! Every dish was fresh, authentic, and beautifully prepared. The seafood pancake was outstanding—crispy on the outside, soft inside, and generously filled with shrimp, squid, and green onions. It was one of the best we’ve had.

The kimchi tofu stew was piping hot with a rich, flavorful broth, silky tofu, and just the right amount of spice. The sizzling beef bulgogi was tender, juicy, and perfectly seasoned. We also loved the complimentary side dishes—they were fresh, delicious, and refilled without hesitation.

The restaurant is clean, cozy, and welcoming, and the staff were friendly, attentive, and provided excellent service throughout our meal. Great food, generous portions, and excellent value. We’ll definitely be back and highly recommend IL Poom to anyone looking for authentic Korean cuisine in Edmonton!“

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

“Overall, the dining experience was very, very good. The service was excellent, even though at the time we went it was quite busy. The cuts of meat were of very high quality. The only detraction was that the scallops we had were tiny and cooked quite swiftly. The bul galbi and bul gogi were excellent. We will go there again.“

“Don't let the paper plates fool you, the food absolutely slaps. As a matter of fact, keep the plate and bring a sharpie on your first visit. Draw something on it and leave your mark.

All that aside, everything about this place is great. It's definitely worth a visit, especially late at night.“

“I thought it seemed expensive at first but the portions are really big, and it's cooked fresh you can see the kitchen. Friendly staff and really great seasonings. Doesn't feel like greasy fast food. Real quality and authentic food, not processed frozen crap“

“I visited Pocha with my Canadian colleagues who were new to Korean food culture and wanted to try Korean cuisine. Pocha had a variety of dishes on their menu and the food was good for the first-time Korean food eaters. I may not visit with my Korean friends, but will take my non-Korean friends to Pocha. Overall experience was satisfactory.“

“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 👍🏻“

“The food is delicious and packed with flavour. Must try the chicken bites and the corn dogs! Some days they have specials so keep an eye out. I’ve been going to this location and never had issues.

However the last time I went, the service wasnt great, the cashier was rude and unprofessional.

I will definitely be returning to gangnam but I hope the attitude changes“

“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 visited this restaurant with a friend from out of town on a Thursday afternoon. She recommended it because she is Korean Canadian. Apparently, the soup dishes are very popular at this restaurant.

I ordered a hot stone bibimbap, and she ordered a pork bone soup. After about a 15-minute wait, our dishes finally arrived, but the server mixed up my order and served me a soup instead of the bibimbap.

After another 15 minutes of waiting, my food finally arrived. Both dishes were quite delicious, but the mix-up dampened the experience. The server didn't apologize or say anything to me.“

“Enjoyed reading Ram's reviews. He writes well. The recommendations of the restaurants he has tried out are worth checking out.“

“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 😍😍“

“Chosun Korean in Hub Mall at the University of Alberta is one of my go-to lunch spots on campus. The food is consistently excellent and reasonably priced. I usually order the bibimbap, which comes with bulgogi beef, rice, plenty of vegetables, egg, and seaweed—fresh, filling, and very well balanced. The bulgogi beef on its own is also one of my favorites.

They offer a happy-hour–style deal in the afternoon (around 2 p.m.), with about $1 off select dishes, including bulgogi options. For the quality and portion size, the price is very fair, around $15 for a satisfying meal.

The seating area itself is not ideal for dining in since it’s located downstairs, but the food travels well and can easily be taken anywhere in Hub Mall or around the university. The mall is bright and comfortable, which makes takeout convenient.

Highly recommended for a reliable, affordable, and tasty Korean lunch on campus.“

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

“The rice cakes are delicious! We got the ones used for tteok-bokki! They were so fresh and were the perfect texture. The service was excellent. The woman running the front was so kind and helpful which I very much appreciated! We will definitely go here again.“

“The lady owner who seems to be the only one working and cooking everytime we visit is hands down the most amazing and welcoming service we have ever had. She feels like your mother who feeds you and scolds you if you dont finish your food lol. We absolutely adore her“

“Comida muy rica y la atención excelente“

“😍Best Korean fried chicken!“

“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.“

“Book club met today at Sushi Cafe Madang and it couldn’t have been a better spot. Great food, genuinely kind staff, and a space that makes you want to stay and talk a little longer. And yes, I left with a big container of kimchi, which felt like a bonus prize. Already looking forward to the next visit!“

“This place is bad. long ques and you cant skip to the food you want. one has to stand in this long line and move as it moves and the food is not even all that and very limited. If you eventually get to the food and the buckets are empty you have to move along otherwise you holding up the line. This must be the worst buffet place in Cape Town and the toilets are disgusting.“

“I absolutely love this place!
I come here when I want to get my fill of salmon sashimi. Everything else is pretty great too. Only thing I have to say is the grills are a little on the cold side. My meat ends up getting not a crispy texture. It is almost like boiled or steamed lol Anyways still tasty! I understand maybe they can't have the grill to hot because of smoke.
I have been here numerous times and have always enjoyed coming in. Keep up the good work!“

“Great food and atmosphere“

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

“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.“

“found this spot myself, super freaking underrated chicken spot, bought the firecracker burger not to boast best burger ive had from a local restau!!! PLEASE SUPPORT LOCAL!!! NAME YOUR THREE CHICKEN BRANDS THIS ONE CLEARS ALL THREE!!!! SUPPORT LOCAL!!!!“

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

“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!“

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

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

“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.“

“I have been going to bulgogi house for years! I always tell people don't judge it based on the looks but they have now renovated inside! The food has always been excellent. It has been at least a couple years since I have been back, and I was pleasantly surprised that the food is just as good as before. I had the LA Galbi (BBQ short rib) and Goondak (BBQ chicken) - SO good! My only complaint was my ginseng tea was only one small cup, which I feel is very little for the cost. In the past I remember them giving a teapot but that may have changed now or perhaps just for the ginseng tea, not sure!! Anyways, I would recommend checking them out!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Excellent food and service. I've only had the pho and salad wraps and therefore can't recommend them enough. The peanut sauce is divine, the broth is solid and portions are appropriate. Never left hungry.

Highly recommended“
