38 Best Korean Restaurants in Burnaby

“This small and local mom and pop shop is just simply the best. This is my second time going in person to order take out and they remember me still even from 4 months apart of ordering.
For the price of what we pay, it is for sure worth the money. They don’t skim on your portions or your tastebuds. Best place to consider for your take out reasons!!!
I will keep on going here !!!“

“Every order is made fresh, so you might be in for a 10-20 minute wait, but boy is it ever worth it!

The Crispy Chicken Sandwich: Very crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Great flavour, not greasy. Perfectly seasoned. Made with whole meat chicken breast. I had to squish down the sandwich to get it in my mouth. Good quality bun and the lettuce leaf was crisp. I suspect they might be using an egg-yolk only mayo as it tasted rich. I really liked that.

The bacon cheeseburger with extra patty: Deliciously smashed with a great crust, perfect seasoning and juicy. It was a little messy but so good! Good quality bun and the lettuce leaf was crisp.

The fries were piping hot with a crispy battered exterior and fluffy interior. Remained crispy even after cooling down.

Original Korean Fried Chicken (small): Made with boneless-skinless chicken thighs, this was also juicy too and very crispy on the outside.

Every fried item had a clean fresh flavour, so you can tell their oil isn’t old.

The tables and chairs were clean and arranged neatly. Lots of seating options. The place looked like a family run restaurant with nice touches of flowers at the entrance, in the windows and on the walls.

It’s a hidden gem, so I’m glad google maps and the sandwich board sign helped me find the restaurant! The door faces the street and you have to walk to the NW corner of the building, as it’s not obvious.

The staff were friendly and very good at what they did and I would 100% recommend this place and go back in the future.“

“great service and good was spectacular“

“A must-try Korean dining experience if you’re in the Brentwood area. The sooda platter is quite unique and comes in a generous portion. We didn’t expect the size and ended up ordering a hot pot, a sooda box, and a few other dishes. It turned out to be very filling, but the food concept is fun and different. Overall, great vibe and worth trying.“

“Dee-licious!!! 🤤😍💕 Definitely recommend the cheese fried rice. Great for dates, family dinners, or a casual drink + meal.“

“Peaceful, food is delicious but vanished too quickly, because I ate it too fast
The soup container is much bigger than it seems
And the soup itself is not excessively salty
Love the cucumber slices and whatever the orange stuff is“

“We’ve been back several times in a short period after discovering this restaurant, and every single dish we tried was amazing! We had the kimbap dishes, spicy pork, jjamppong, and soondubu stew. Unfortunately I forgot to take photos of my food, but everything was seriously so delicious 😭 The quality honestly tasted just like the food I used to have in Korea.

I even brought my family here, and since some of my family members are vegan, choosing restaurants can sometimes be a bit limiting. But this place had so many vegan options to choose from, and everyone ended up loving their meal. I felt so happy and proud that I brought them here!

Sadly the only photos I have are of the vegan dishes, but we will 10000% be coming back again. Also, their kkakdugi and garlic stem side dishes are SO good. Perfect with a bowl of white rice!!“

“Amazing quality for such an unbelievably affordable price!
The kimbap rice was perfectly cooked not too soft or mushy and each roll was generously filled with a variety of ingredients, making every bite delicious and satisfying. The tteokbokki had a great chewy texture, and the sauce was flavorful without being overwhelmingly spicy, pairing perfectly with the kimbap.
Highly recommend the Tuna Chili Kimbap and the Deep Fried Shrimp Kimbap! Will definitely be coming back again“

“If I could give Galbi Korean BBQ 6 stars, I would.

From the moment we arrived, the staff were incredibly kind and welcoming. We went on a Sunday night and expected a wait, it was about 45 minutes but absolutely worth it. We ordered the Chef’s BBQ Combo D, and it was more than enough for all of us to leave completely full. They continuously refilled our sides and sauces, so we were never without anything. Everything felt clean, organized, and really well run.

My personal favourites were the marinated beef short rib, the fresh salad, bean paste soup, scallion salad, and the cheesy corn — all so flavourful and perfectly done.

This is hands down one of the best spots to come with your partner or a group, where you can relax, cook together, and actually enjoy the experience as much as the food. We’ll 100% be coming back. 🔥🥩“

“Seen many Korean street side chicken places on You Tube. Decided to give this a try for the first time . Went to the location on Canada Way. Ordered the family Sweet Soy Chicken & Fries Took awhile to prepare the food (15 mins) No wonder ,huge amount of chicken box was packed full. Large pieces very flavorful, not greasy at all like Churches grease feast j chicken . Fries were amazing .I found a new go to place to buy chicken for a game . A tad pricey, buy I assure you very well worth the money . If this place franchises, they will give KFC & Churches very serious condition . My first time there , highly impressed. I highly recommended you try this. Will not be disappointed. Very pleasant staff. Simple decor, but the service & food will amaze you . Thank you so very much for an amazing meal. I will definitely will be returning . Added a picture, this is after 3 people eating Big pieces and loads left ... Go visit this place . You won't regret it !!!“

“Their chicken tastes way too good!!! Deviled fried chicken is my favourite!!! I’m addicted to their chicken! Attached is a photo this one is soy garlic I just ate but still way too good!!“

“My husband I were looking for something quick but good. This was our first time being to this place. The gentleman that took our order was very nice and helped us decide on what to get. We both ordered the Original chicken meal that came with a drink as well and it was only $13.99. The portion amount was really good for the price. The chicken was hot and fresh plus the fries were crispy the way I like it. We will definitely go back again.“

“Very tasty Korean dishes and excellent customer service!“

“Tried this Korean restaurant today and had a really great experience.
The place itself looks a bit old and worn down, but it was full of Korean customers, which already felt like a good sign. It definitely has that long-running, authentic vibe.
We ordered the Dak-galbi and Haemul Pajeon. The chicken was super flavorful and well marinated. The melted cheese, corn, and steamed egg on the side were all really good as well. The seafood pancake didn’t have a huge amount of seafood, but it was nice and crispy, which made it really enjoyable.
The side dishes were also a highlight, including potatoes, pickled radish, bean sprouts, and kimchi. Everything tasted great, and they offer refills, which is always a big plus.
We also got a bottle of Korean beer to go with the meal, and it paired perfectly. Overall, a very satisfying and authentic Korean food experience.“

“I would recommend Hon Sushi for a late night spot! Very pleasant staff! Tables are good for bigger / larger group! Interesting menu ordering.“

“good kfc and good service“

“One of the best Korean restaurants I have tried so far ⭐️ Absolutely delicious!! It’s insanely good. I was surprised by how rich and flavorful the soup of the tteok Mandu guk was. The portion size was big and there’s a generous amount of strips of brisket which were also tasty. The carbonara tteokbokki was delicious and had a decent portion, the flavor just exploded in my mouth. You can taste the perfect balance of cheese and the spices. The sauce was just soo good.

I still remember the flavor and I’m craving for it! Highly recommend! The staff was also attentive and friendly.“

“Amazing service and food! The portions were very generous and it was really tasty. All the seafood was fresh so if you want raw seafood in this area I recommend coming here. There are waits during weekends so make sure to get on the waitlist in advance.“

“This is my favourite resturant. I'm a homebody, so I get food delivery, and it is always, always good. Of all the resturants I've tried, their pork intestine is the best. It isn't chewy and it is crispy on the outside. (And I'm a white girl lol. Don't knock it 'til you try it.)“

“Delicious, juicy and great value. Far exceeded my expectations.“

“Good we will come back again“

“Got takeout from Katsuya as there was a promotion on uber eats. I found the food to be packaged well and a large enough quantity for 1 person. The service was prompt and friendly, making the pickup process smooth and easy to enjoy while still hot and fresh. Would recommend to anyone looking for something quick to eat.“

“Love love love this place!! Best bbq ever!“

“Highlight is their soondubu! I recommend getting the hot spice level or above, more rich and flavourful in my opinion.
Comes with rice, an egg, and several good side dishes. Pretty worth the price especially if you come at happy hour ($14 instead of $18)“

“Service was quick and very efficient. Finally able to order Gamjatang without spice and it was incredible. Generous with the amount of pork bone. Galbi was very tender and delicious. Glad to have stumbled upon this restaurant, given that everyone is lining up at Sizzle. We will return! Thank you for a very comforting meal.“

“Oolala Chicken is way better when you dine in rather than getting takeout or delivery.

I tried the new Machoking flavor (BHC-style Machoking), and it was so good I literally scraped the sauce clean. It officially became my new favourite!! I used to love the mala flavour, but this one took its place.

Sometimes there can be a slight smell with chicken, but ordering strong-flavored options like mala or Machoking really covers it well and makes it much better overall.
Highly recommend dining in for the best experience.“

“amazing food 10/10 would recommend. the staff was so friendly i felt so welcome as i ordered some delicious fried chicken. As I began to process the fumes of the chicken coming though my nostrils, i immediately fell in love. i savored the fried chicken until the last bite. All the spices blend so well to create a magnificent plate of chicken. its basically a work of art on a plate.“

“Whenever I miss Korean-style chicken, this is the place I go to. As someone who loves spicy food, the heat level is perfect for me — it’s crispy and absolutely delicious. The servers are all very kind and welcoming. I’ve ordered both dine-in and take out several times, and every experience has been very satisfying. Definitely give it a try at least once🥹“

“Ordered the bone-in chicken with the Snowy Cheese flavor and it was excellent. The chicken was crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and the cheese seasoning added a nice sweet and savory flavor. Consistent with what I’ve come to expect from Chico Chicken.“

“The "Galbi Haejangguk" and "Squid Bibimbap" are truly fantastic in taste. Additionally, I appreciate the friendly service from the staff, and especially Manager's smile and kind service were truly impressive. I always leave having enjoyed the delicious food. Thank you.👍👍👍“

“Food was awesome! Service was even better. Staff were attentive and quick. We did the AYCE pork belly and they made sure there was always meat on the grill and sides topped up. They were amazing at accommodating our autistic grandsons food sensory issues. Sides were simple yet flavorful and good accompaniment for the pork. Definitely make a reservation as it was busy.“

“great staff...remarkable unique corn dogs“

“The portions are enormous and the food is high quality for the price. Plentiful side dishes. I got the fried squid add on expecting it to be a little more protein, but it’s an insane amount for only $15.

Looking at the 1-star reviews, I’m not sure what these people were smoking to have that experience, but it’s tragic it’s brought this place’s reviews lower than it should be.“

“This is my favourite hotpot place to go to, I crave it almost every single week! My parents have been going here since my oldest sister was born and have been taking me since I was a kid, this place is truly amazing and will forever be my favourite comfort meal spot in vancouver. Staff are very kind and I have never had a bad interaction here. Highly recommend the kimchi hot pot which is my go to!“

“Had a fantastic Korean meal with a great mix of comforting classics and crispy sides. The soft tofu stew was rich and flavorful, packed with tender beef and silky tofu. The naengmyeon was refreshing and perfectly balanced with a spicy kick, making it a great contrast to the hot dishes. The fried chicken was crispy, juicy, and addictive, while the fried fish and bossam with radish kimchi rounded out the meal nicely. Generous portions, satisfying variety, and everything tasted fresh and well-prepared. Definitely a spot I'd come back to for Korean comfort food“

“Ordered garlic cabbage, seafood udon and fried chicken noodle (鹽酥雞麵). Everything tasted super delicious! Staff are amazingly friendly. For sure will visit again🥰 超好吃，員工很友善，很有家的感覺🇨🇦🇹🇼🇭🇰“

“As a Korean, I seriously need to eat Yangnyeom chicken regularly—you know what I mean? :)
I know Chicko Chicken’s Yangnyeom chicken is actually pretty close to the traditional sweet-style Yangnyeom, but honestly… the quality really depends on each store.
That’s why I’m so happy I found this good Chicko location!

The staff and owner were super kind, and the chicken tasted SO good 👍
I even live near Metrotown, but I honestly don’t mind spending extra time to come to this branch instead of going to others.“

“The best chicken wings ever!“
