40 Best Korean Restaurants in Burnaby

“great service and good was spectacular“

“Ordered a few takeaway bowls from this lovely Korean restaurant in Burnaby. My favorite was definitely the bulgogi bowl and the spicy pork bowl. They were super filling and tasty. I couldn’t finish it all.

Staff were really friendly and the service was great!“

“I've frequented here many times now and I have to say its a great little gem hidden by Coscto! Hands down the best chicken burger, they give you a full breast and always fresh!

Pros
- Place is set back in the old era of time but sparkly clean
- Family run

Cons
- You don't come here for the ambience

If you're craving a fried chicken cooked to perfection every time, this is it. It's not your standard greasy oily burger either. Looks to be run by a Korean mom and her kids. You can tell, there's a lot of love put into frying!

Can't wait to come back!“

“Would give our vegan meal 5/5 stars if Happy Cow would allow it (only allowed for fully vegan places). Highly recommend trying their large vegan option menu. The bulgogi was sweet, savoury, smoky, and “meat”-y. Soy curls, peppers, onions, cabbage with rice, and saucy! The Kimbap was fresh and tasty. Both were large servings you can share easily. Our server was so kind and happy to hear we travelled far to visit Chibop. The owners have an interest in vegan cuisine. Support this place for offering not just one, but many vegan options. We will be back.“

“Im soo happy my friend found this chic resto! Great service as well! Very kind and patient server..“

“Not the first time here and wanted to try their other options.

Food honestly was surprisingly very good and price was acceptable especially the lunch set meal deal. Seafood pancake was bit more on the greasy side as the wax paper was drenched with oil. Overall a mid 4.

Service was pretty good for a solid 4 with nothing too outstanding.

The atmosphere was pretty good and it was not crowded or noisy. The individual washroom stalls were a surprise and extremely clean and well maintained. High 5 for atmosphere.

Definitely would consider revisiting again.“

“It's kinda expensive, but so are the rest of the restaurants. I got the chicken mayo for 16.5 (with tip), and I got a nice portion of food. The taste is okay for its price, but I don't think there're many other better alternatives around SFU. You get what you pay for: A fairly big portion of food with decent taste“

“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 !!!“

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

“First time my girlfriend and I experienced this place, to start off Andrew greeted us right away when we stepped in. He’s a super friendly guy that explain the whole menu to us including some of his recommendations which we went with, we got the combo B that included 2 boneless chicken flavours, and either fried squid or calamari. I ordered the hot devil flavour and he helped us out with the other, which was the original chicken with 3 different sides of sauce so we could sample each. I highly recommend ordering the fried squid over the calamari! Everything was great including presentation and a huge portion for your money. The course also included pickled radish and a corn slaw which is all done in house, we will definitely return next time to explore more of the menu, thanks again to Andrew for his customer service! He knows what’s up“

“Came in for a quick lunch. Ample strip mall parking. Clean booth seats for eat-in customers. We were served complimentary hot broth with our food orders. Recommend the spicy kimchi and pork kimbap, and tuna kimbap. Ideal for takeout or a quick bite. Do not expect restaurant ambiance or service. Self-service food tray cleanup.“

“Their food and service were excellent.
However, the restaurant was so hot that I couldn’t really enjoy my meal.
I asked the server to turn on the air conditioning, but they told me it was already on. I was shocked.
They even brought me an ice pack and did their best, but I don’t think I could come back on a hot day.“

“My first time trying and went great. Great atmosphere and very attentive service. The food looks good as it tastes. The quality of the food makes the price totally fair. No wait when I walked in at a good time, but reservations are a safer bet. Highly recommended.“

“Very tasty Korean dishes and excellent customer service!“

“I liked the plates and gold spoon because they were so luxurious.
Gamjatang was truly the most delicious Korean food I've ever had in Vancouver! The amount is huge!
The stone pot looks really pretty and tastes great, of course.
And the chicken is really the best 👍 They fry it really deliciously ㅜㅜ I heard the table next to me was eating pork cutlet and it looked really delicious.. Next time I will come to eat pork cutlet too.

Everyone, please come! I highly recommend it“

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

“This location Hastings is the best chicko chicken especially yangyeom.
Not like other locations, their chicken is fresh and batter is perfect 👌🏻
I'm addicted pickled radish as well.
Strongly recommend!!!! I ordered through Uber eats. Delivered so fast and I like it.“

“good kfc and good service“

“We recently visited this Korean restaurant and were pleasantly surprised by the cozy atmosphere. The interior design, with its partitions between tables, gave a nice sense of privacy that made the dining experience more comfortable.

We ordered the beef intestine soup and the cold noodles. Both were flavorful and enjoyable. The soup came with plenty of ingredients, though the medium spice level felt a little mild; next time we’d probably go one step spicier. The cold noodles were refreshing and served in a generous portion, though it would have been even better with a few slices of meat or seafood added in.

The menu isn’t huge, but it does feature the beef intestine hot pot, which was exactly what drew us in. Since there were only two of us, we skipped the larger BBQ platters and went with single dishes, which worked out well. Overall, the flavors were solid, the portions fair, and the price very reasonable.

We’d rate the experience about 7/10. Definitely worth a try if you’re craving Korean comfort food, and we’d be happy to come back again.“

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

“Atmosphere and service was great, order when you're ready from a tablet right at the table. The smoked chicken was great, awesome smoke flavour that's hard to get elsewhere. The fried chicken was good, but not what I think of when I want Korean Fried Chicken. Definitely would go back.“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 – Absolutely Incredible!

If you're a fried chicken lover, Ajuker Chicken Restaurant is nothing short of a hidden gem that deserves the spotlight!

From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with the warm aroma of perfectly seasoned, crispy golden chicken. The staff are friendly, attentive, and genuinely passionate about what they serve. It's not just a meal—it’s an experience.

The Korean fried chicken is the undeniable star here. Crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and bursting with flavor. The spicy soy garlic glaze hits that perfect balance of sweet, savory, and fiery. I also tried the cheese snow chicken—a heavenly, creamy twist I didn’t know I needed.

Portions are generous, prices are fair, and the quality is consistent every time I visit. The side dishes? Just as impressive. The pickled radish, coleslaw, and fries round everything off like a dream.

Whether you're dining in with friends or grabbing takeout after a long day, Ajuker delivers that soul-satisfying, finger-licking goodness every single time. It’s no surprise it has such a loyal following—I'm officially a fan for life.

Highly recommended. 10/10. Don’t walk. Run“

“The food here was very well flavoured. I ordered the marinated crab and the beef tartare. I thought the marinated crab was well seasoned, you can taste the umami. I also thought the beef tartare was well seasoned, it was missing the pear that day. Overall everything was quite fresh and I enjoyed it!“

“Good we will come back again“

“I come here pretty often, this one was different, probably only 2 hours after I landed after a 10+ hour flight, came straight here to get this Dwaeji Gukbap, as always I put lots of spicy sauce and shrimp sauce in it. Very authentic, very healthy, and affordable option. Staff are always nice and greeting, won’t disappoint you!“

“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)“

“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.👍👍👍“

“Reading these reviews make me so confused! Maybe it’s because I tried it after they put up the “under new management” sign.

Last week I went to Aroma which is on the opposite side of Crystal mall, and has a much higher rating, and was very disappointed with their popcorn chicken and beef noodle soup.

This week I decided to give Hanju a try, and it was far far better. The chicken is perfectly seasoned with the deep fried basil leaves, and the beef in the beef noodle soup just melts in your mouth. No carrot or radish fillers (the taste is there, it’s just not served as chunks) you actually get green veggies. They have some imported Taiwanese drinks as well.

The price is not cheap, but we would come back for our next Taiwanese food craving, especially with baby in tow. They have some children’s books and the seats are a lot more comfortable and clean than its competitor on the other side of the mall.“

“We got their original and soy chicken flavour, half and half.

Starting off with the chicken, I enjoyed how crispy it was on outside and juicy on the inside. This is a must for all good friend chicken joints.

Next would be marinade and flavour. I don't think there's a huge difference between this one and other Korean Fried Chicken places I've tried, it still had enough flavour. Not much else to say here

Price wise, it's okay. I wouldn't call them cheap or absurdly priced, it's normal.

The service was friendly and our order was served in around 15min which is good considering they prepare it per order.

Overall, 4/5. Good Korean Fried Chicken Joint in you're in the area and mood for some of that juicy chicken or snow cheese fries action.“

“The food is insane! I everything it was soooo delicious taht now we are looking to try their Korean BBQ for next time!
And many side dishes!

We were looking for try a new Korean Restaurant, and we have not regrets! We ordered :
Gamja-tang Soup ( Spicy Pork Back-Bond).
And Kimchi Jjigae soup ( spicy kimchi and pork).“

“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🇨🇦🇹🇼🇭🇰“

“One of the best chicken I have had the other night. Portion is good as well. Medium spicy wasn't spicy but it's pretty subjective.
Overall good chicken. There was only one server and she was taking care of seating/orders/bills/payments n all. Free covered parking“

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

“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.“

“great staff...remarkable unique corn dogs“

“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.👍👍👍“

“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.“

“I very much enjoy places like this, with great food and excellent service, and want it to continue as a viable business. Please 🎉 make this restaurant popular by tasting it for yourself. Just don't make it so popular I can't get a table 😅😋“

“The best chicken wings ever!“

“The food portions are pretty big, especially the sweet & sour pork. The black bean noodles were good, but I would have liked them more if there was more sauce. Their 88 chili noodles were good too, but they came with beef, which I don’t eat. There were just two of us, and we couldn’t finish Combo A, so we had to pack the leftovers to take home. When the server brought the containers, she also brought the bill and left the payment machine on the table, saying, “No rush.” But it actually felt rushed because we hadn’t asked for the bill yet and had to pack our food at the same time.“
