Elysium Korean Bistro and Restaurant

Food is plain and not good enough for me to be memorable and want to come back especially given the price range. Servers were attentive but not friendly. I visited this restaurant several times prior but each time the experience was not memorable so I rarely come here. But now it seems it is even worst than before.

I just ordered a beef bulgogi takeout from this place. The food was very watery, and even though it was in a container, it leaked and broke the paper bag. :(

I ordered one seafood tofu soup for myself and one beef tofu soup for my daughter, they served side dishes too, food were tasty and the service was excellent. You have to register your vehicle at the front desk to get a free parking, lots of spaces for parking. Would definitely come back here again.

We just had an amazing meal at Elysium in Richmond, and it honestly blew us away. This wasn’t just great for a late-night spot — this was some of the best Korean food we’ve had, period. And we love Korean food. We’ve tried it everywhere we can — Vancouver, Coquitlam, you name it — and Elysium easily stands out as one of the best.

We ordered the stir-fried pork and the kimchi soup, and both were done to perfection. The flavors were bold, deeply authentic, and absolutely packed with richness. You could taste the freshness of the ingredients in every bite. They even customized the kimchi soup to make it extra spicy — which was perfect for me, since I love heat — and it was spot on.

The side dishes were just as impressive. The kimchi and seasoned potatoes (forgive me if I’m misnaming them) were packed with flavor and honestly some of the best I’ve had anywhere. Nothing felt like filler — everything was clearly made with care.

And here’s the kicker: the prices are incredibly reasonable. You could easily get full on just two dishes, and you’d probably spend an extra $20–25 at most other places for food that wouldn’t come close in flavor or quality. It’s rare to find food this good at this price point.

We can’t wait to come back.

Tried this Korean restaurant for their lunch menu, wish they had bulgogi in soup, think it was in their dinner menu. Food was ok, mine was a bit bland but others had a good portion. Their appy dishes were good and refillable. Service has a bell at the table which was convenient. You have to register your license plate at the door but plenty of free parking which makes it a good last minute location for lunch or dinner.

Ate this while I was ill

I really love coming to this korean restaurant. Been here multiple times and the food never disappoints. (Also the lady owner is always pretty!:D)

The reason why I put three stars on service and atmosphere is I ordered on uber eats so I dont know how the restaurant looks like. First time to see this restaurant and we got spicy cold noodle, cold noodle and bossam. The taste was great.

The food was fantastic and the staff very welcoming. Thats basically all I have to say, the food speaks for itself.

Great for large gatherings too.

I had been looking forward to trying Elysium Korean Restaurant for a while, and finally got to visit tonight. Overall, it was a decent experience—not the best Korean restaurant I’ve had in Vancouver, but still enjoyable.

The Korean fried chicken stood out with its sweet and mildly spicy flavor—juicy, tender, and seasoned well. I also liked the Korean rice roll, which was packed with fillings; it would’ve been perfect with a bit more crunch for texture. The rice cake was acceptable, nothing too special but still satisfying.

Service was decent and matched the quality of the food. Worth a visit if you're in the area and craving Korean cuisine.
