50 Best Korean Restaurants in Vancouver

“Yummy yummy yummy to my tummy.“

“Enjoyed the vibe, fast friendly service. Food was good and delicious 👍👍“

“The best chicken wings ever!“

“This is a fantastic spot for authentic Korean fried chicken! The chicken is always perfectly crunchy on the outside and incredibly juicy inside. I highly recommend trying the Snowing Cheese—it's a game-changer with its savory, slightly sweet powder coating. Service is fast and friendly, and it's a great casual place for a quick meal or a group hangout. If you're craving some quality K-F.C., this location delivers!“

“I loved the food. Excellent service. I recommend this place! :)“

“Food is awesome!
Server is very kind!
We have a wonderful meal!
10 out of 5 huhhuhhuh
Thank you so much for the great generosity and kindness and good food!
Esp., Ddukbbokkii is better than Korea!“

“Already came back twice this month. We ordered the half&half chicken this time, with soy garlic and original. Definitely the best Korean chicken I’ve found in Vancouver.
I also appreciate that they have korean barley tea option available instead of just water. Not many Korean places in Vancouver seem to offer tea.“

“I’ve been to this location for few times now and I really like their fast service. The food is good too.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We’re proud to be the packaging and container supplier for 350*F Chicken. The owner is truly great — thoughtful, professional, and dedicated to quality. He invests wisely in premium packaging and presentation, which really shows his commitment to the brand. Wishing the team continued success — more to go!“

“Wow the boneless original chicken was just so juicy and light batter, seasoned nicely, so fresh, and easy to eat! The spicy chicken was fairly mild… not quite like buldak spicy… maybe more yangnyeom level… not too spicy or too sweet. Both were sooooo very good. The side dish of pickled daikon cubes was also very tasty. Fully recommend! Also, they have 10% off during happy hour on Monday-Thursday! Would definitely order from them again!“

“Joon’s Kitchen is a hidden gem! The food was absolutely delicious—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. Every dish we tried had that perfect balance of taste and presentation, showing real care and passion in the cooking.

On top of the great food, the service was warm, attentive, and genuine. The staff made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived, and their hospitality added so much to the experience.

Whether you’re stopping by for a casual meal or a special gathering, Joon’s Kitchen is the kind of place you’ll want to return to again and again. Highly recommended!“

“I came here for Dine Out 2026 so you know the quality etc is sometimes little varied and is not always the best representation of the restaurant under normal circumstances so take this review with that into consideration.

But honestly it was just ok. I see the intent they had and I was curious since I’ve heard some good things about this place food was average. I had the tartare (which was not bad, I think the better than the tempura), the lingcod (huge portion which I loved! But bland, side dishes were amazing), and in substitution for their sorbet I got green tea cheesecake (which was low mid, kind of grainy - would reco the vanilla ice cream more).

Overall I think it was just average. Great vibes for a date and the servers were nice but the food was mid. For the price it was worth it but that’s about it. Unsure if I’d come again based on the food.“

“High regard to the chefs and our server 😊“

“great Korean eats. dishes are very tasty. one of the best gamjatamg I've ever had.“

“밴쿠버 최고의 치킨“

“We had a great time as the waitress spent good amount of time explaining all the sauces and the different pancakes!!! Definitely going back for more!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻“

“We came on a Saturday at 5:15 as we had reservations. We ordered the BBQ eel sot bap ($21.95) and the abalone sot bap ($22.95). They each come with a seaweed soup and a soft poached egg. The side dishes are also available for refill.

The side dishes were okay. Nothing to write home about.

The sot baps were both really delicious. We preferred the abalone one over the BBQ eel one. The abalone was nice and soft not chewy at all. It went well with the egg and the fragrance of the rice. The unagi wasn't too sweet. I liked the crispiness on the bottom of the rice.

Overall a satisfying meal. I would come back to try the kalbi“

“Waited 15 minutes for our chicken and it was made fresh. It comes with radish

Honey garlic boneless ($13.95) - honey flavour was really strong I wished the garlic flavour was a bit stronger

Sweet spicy with bone ($15.50) - not spicy at all! Needed to be much spicier. I enjoyed the sweet spicy more than the boneless.

All their fried chicken comes with tteok (rice cake) which was delicious.

Their batter is different from the other chains in Vancouver. It's lighter and a different kind of crispy. The other ones are a bit more crunchy

Overall I would get it again“

“The best chicken wings ever!“

“Assorted kimchi/vegetarian mandu :) very cute to eat. There is usually plenty of space to sit inside the Student Nest, which is also regularly cleaned. However, the container did not really help to keep the food warm. The one-use materials involved, like soy packets and aluminum foil, were also disappointing. Thankfully, the “box” was biodegradable!“

“We stumbled to this restaurant; after making a visit to a store nearby; because it was close to 8 pm and we were starving!
We were greeted promptly and advised that there is a short wait. After 5 minutes we were seated quickly.
We were seated at the far corner so had to wave down staff at each request but we didnt think it was an issue.
We had a bimbimbop, spicy pork, beef bone soup and takowasabi. We ate everything and hope to be back soon.
Our only issue was the noise level was at times unbearable likely because we sat next to a small table of people whose voice would be considered yelling to most.“

“Delicious! Especially the pineapple gochujang sauce on the tofu...really happy about the new restaurant in my neighbourhood.. 😋“

“awesome bowl of food! I would order from here all the time if I loved here. best I have had since I got here. ty for the flavor explosion“

“I am no stranger to Korean fried chicken. This ranks in my top 10. They do there’s skin on boneless style, which most don’t. This makes for phenomenal texture and taste. It’s a tad salty but who cares. Recommend sauce on the side for full crisp experience.“

“I usually come when it’s pretty empty. The cutlets are incredibly generous, and the little salad and veg sides are nice. Combined with the seemingly endless miso you will not leave hungry. So far every time I’ve come they include a little extra treat. I’m not sure if that is standard or what, but it’s a nice touch.“

“One of the most delicious authentic Korean chickens I have ever tasted here in Canada. The taste was the same as what I had back in South Korea. I understand it was a busy time with lots and lots of orders. At the end, the food was good. Loved it“

“Korean Nom Nom is a cozy spot on Robson Street serving fresh, tasty Korean comfort food. Their kimbap and tteokbokki are must-tries — flavorful, generous, and satisfying. Service is quick and friendly, and prices are fair for downtown. A great casual stop for an authentic Korean bite.“

“As an absolute food crazed individual I have to say Chef Han's restaurant Kosoo + Raw Bar is one of my favourite restaurants, here and abroad, so far. The chef was away for a while, on his return we visited and it was brilliant as usual. I have never been disappointed only always impressed beyond my expectations. Welcome back Chef Han!“

“We just found Sumi last month and we have already been here 3 times. It’s so good that we keep coming back!!😆😆 very authentic Korean food, I love their Jjang bang so much. I saw a lot of people ordering seafood pancake, it is huge but kinda flaky in my opinion, I will recommend their Korean Fried Chicken more! Very big portions, you can take home and continue eating it for next meal😆
So far we have tried seafood tofu soup, bimbimbap, bulgogi, and noodles, they are all delicious!“

“Delicious! Especially the pineapple gochujang sauce on the tofu...really happy about the new restaurant in my neighbourhood.. 😋“

“I love coming here and love the consistency of their chicken, except when they changed it recently. I gope they bring back the original recipe, i find that the new batter (change of cornstarch?) made everything taste and feel different. Would love to keep coming back. The salad is the best too!“

“Got a half-and-half chicken for takeout for a picnic! It was ready just 10 minutes after ordering. We chose the original and soy garlic boneless options. The original was juicy and quite good, while the soy garlic also had good flavor, though the surface was a bit overly sticky—almost like candy. The half-and-half was just about enough for two people, and overall, I enjoyed the takeout experience here. Not sure if I’d dine in though—the space looked a bit cramped.“

“Delicious food, quick service. Great spot! Their pork belly on rice was one of, if not, the best Korean dishes I've tried!“

“Good we will come back again“

“10/10 kimbap every time. I always get the bulgogi and it is seasoned perfectly alongside other ingredients 🤤🤤 not to mention the price and portion size are sooo justified 👍👍 if you are looking for flavourful and authentic kimbap, this is the place to go ☺️🤤“

“This place is amazing! I went to go eat with my boyfriend here during a very rainy day. We were feeling miserable because of the weather, but the amazing food and warmth cheered us up! To top it off, we got a free bowl of oden soup!!!! Amazing place, would definitely recommend!!!“

“we did the all you can eat. so much delicious food and the servers are super attentive. highly recommend“

“Absolutely amazing! My favourite go to sushi spot since 2021 since it’s so close to my home. Staff is nothing but lovely and food is always great. The yam roll is a fan favourite amongst all my friends. Really enjoy the food and the atmosphere and service!“

“Chosun Korean BBQ is a staple on Kingsway street. They offer tasty Korean food with good service. We ordered the medium set menu with hot pot. They have a variety of side dishes that are free to refill, and they have a button you can press for service. The location is a bit small, so you're likely going to wait even if you show up on time. Overall a nice experience for some Korean BBQ.“

“Delicious Suhi! Great vegan and vegetarian options.
I loved their mango sushi the mango sauce adds sweet flavour to it and veggie california sushi, full of flavour and has good portion size.
The prices are very reasonable and the staff is very warm and welcoming.
This place is wheelchair accessible ♿“

“Very hongdae vibe just like you would see in a K drama. There is a min order of 2 for the BBQ (its a 2ppl serving ea) so make sure ti bring your friends along and they are giving away either Kimchi soup, Cold noodle or Ram-don for 2 orders so its a W.
Service is slow during busy time which is understandable but all staff is very nice.“

“Recommended by a friend. Amazing food. I got one filled with mozarella and they really did fill it to the brim. Its essentially a hotdog on a stick within a roll of bread and deep fried. Very crispy and flavorful. Maybe add different sausage types as well in the future?

There are a lot of toppings and sauces to choose from as well. Reasonably priced for how much it fills you up. Basically a very large afternoon snack.

Quick service. No seating in store, more like a grab and go thing. Attracts a crowd so it can get a bit crowded in the small store during peak hours, especially when its raining and everyone huddles inside“

“Of probably about a dozen of Korean restaurants I’ve tried in Vancouver, this is on my top 3 for sure. The place have aged, but great location on west end. The serving is big. Service is ok. But ya the food I’ve ordered are so good that I over ordered. I’m going to come back for sure.“

“You gotta try this great place i found , it is really really good and hope you all enjoy it as much i always do 😉❤“

“Beautiful modern restaurant with personable owner. Friendly and professional team and every member knew the dishes well. The food was exquisite. We enjoyed the oysters, scallops, Kimchi croquettes, the cod dish to name a few. I would give them 10/10 and will be definitely going back!“

“Very good Korean Fried Chicken, with variety of flavour options. We got the Original and the Soy Garlic, which were both delicious and well-seasoned. I think the Original is my favourite.
The service is friendly and kind.
Call ahead to order your chicken, pick up when it is hot and fresh, and eat it while watching a drama at home!“

“While walking along Robson Street during the holidays, I stopped for lunch at Chicko Chicken. I ordered the Chicko meal with boneless chicken, fries, and a drink. Everything is prepared fresh, so there is a short wait, but it’s worth it. The chicken was juicy inside and crispy outside, and the fries were hot and crisp. Jiyhe provided attentive, welcoming service.“

“Food and ambiance both delivered.“
