15 Best Korean Restaurants in Richmond

“My husband and I love eating out at Dolpan! I always get bulgogi hot plate and my husband gets stir fried bulgogi noodles. They both come in a skillet. So delicious🤤 They also come with soy potatoes, kimchi, and rice. We always leave stuffed and still able to bring a bit back home. Highly recommend!“

“I stopped by here for takeout on an off hour when I was passing through the area and was pleasantly surprised. I tried the buldak with cheese and soya / sausage and veggies and both were good. The buldak wasn’t particularly spicy, so if you want it hot it’s probably worth asking for that. For drinks they have Cass (which is great since Terra has been taking over North America), makgeolli, and soju.

Staff are super nice, even when someone randomly stops in for take out and grabs a drink while waiting (Thanks so much!). The space is small/cozy and tucked away on the second floor, and it has good ventilation and wasn’t smoky at all.

I saw a few other reviews mention portion size. I agree it’s not massive, but most of this food is really filling and for the price and quality I think it’s a great deal. I certainly wouldn’t have wanted any more. I almost passed this place up because the name left me wondering if it was Korean, Japanese, or some weird fusion of the two. Glad I didn’t!“

“Oz os a good place, good food.“

“The food tasted pretty good.
The service was friendly and nice.

The seasoning tasted a bit too much, but it was better than nothing.

The lighting was a bit dark and there were a lot of flies, which was disappointing.“

“Absolutely fantastic experience! Our male server was friendly, professional, and super attentive — he made us feel welcome right away and checked in often without being intrusive. The service was fast and efficient. The side dishes were delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. Portions were big and definitely worth the price. Everything came out quickly, and the food was incredibly tasty. Great vibe, great food, and excellent service from start to finish. 10/10 recommend — we’ll definitely be back!“

“A big variety of authentic Korean dishes, and everything tasted so good! We came in on a busy Sunday, but the service was still so friendly and attentive. Dishes were ready within a reasonable time frame despite the restaurant being full. We loved the soups and the spicy jeyuk dolsot. Will definitely come back to try other menu items!“

“This place blew both my wife's head and mine as well 💯!!!!! We want more A.S.A.P. and we'll be back again soon just to come back. We got a nacho cheese cheese beef dog and the other was a half and half beef and cheese 🧀 dog. Amazing 👍 👏“

“Mega lecker, einer der besten Korean BBQ wo wir je waren! 🥰“

“This Korean restaurant truly exceeded my expectations! Their Korean fried chicken is a must-try — perfectly crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and the sauce strikes just the right balance between sweet and spicy. The other dishes, like the stone pot bibimbap, were also full of flavor and very satisfying.

One of the highlights was the unlimited refills of side dishes. There was a great variety — including kimchi and seaweed salad — all fresh and delicious. It really adds to the value and overall experience.

The restaurant is clean and cozy, with a welcoming atmosphere that’s perfect for both casual meals and group gatherings. The manager was exceptionally friendly and attentive, checking in with customers and making us feel at home. The staff were all polite, helpful, and quick to respond to any requests, especially when it came to refilling the banchan.

All in all, this place delivers amazing food and outstanding service. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending it to friends!“

“Came here with my parents for dinner. The pork and beef is soft and tender. The addition of the side dishes were good: helps to cleanse pallet after eacb bite. The marinate was a bit on the sweeter/powerful side. The staff were friendly and the service was good. The 3 plates of meat and fish I ordered totaled to be ~130 CAD, which is a bit on the pricey end. 4/5“

“Good restaurant with fresh food and good service“

“fantastic food! the service was great, the owner is outstanding! the food is next level! try the cheese!!“

“I discovered Samsoonie almost 10 years ago now, it’s always a staple to go when you’re craving some Korea style food. The food is always delicious, it’s hard to give a recommendation on what to try on your first time, after eating here so much pretty much trying everything I could say try something new every time you come. I would also recommend when you come make sure you indulge with yourself or the people you go with, order multiple items and try what interest you on the menu.
The service is really good here, very kind, friendly and helpful staff who will help you will your needs and wants.
A few things to keep in mind, they only accept cash or debit so make sure your prepared for that, it can get busy at peak hours of the day or on weekends, the restaurant is not the biggest so it does fill up fast so also keep in that mind if you are planning to come and additionally the parking isn’t the best but i recommend to park at the back of the restaurant where there is tons of parking and is less crowded.“

“I recently visited Jjang Korea BBQ in Richmond, and their bargain lunch special is an absolute steal! The Korean fried chicken is crispy and flavorful—definitely one of the best I’ve had. Their kimchi and potato sides are outstanding, perfectly complementing the meal. The beef is tender, well-seasoned, and cooked to perfection. The atmosphere is relaxed and inviting, making it a great spot to enjoy a chill lunch. Free parking adds to the convenience, which is always a bonus in Richmond. Overall, Jjang Korea BBQ offers incredible value without compromising on quality. Highly recommend for anyone craving authentic Korean BBQ!“

“Food was really tasty and good portion size as well. I’ll go back for sure!“
