50 Best Korean Restaurants in Vancouver

“We went and had the tasting menu with my boyfriend and our parents it was a amazing experience everyone was so nice and welcoming felt right at home and the food was delicious the papaya salad was my favourite we sat at chefs table aswell and they surprised us with gifts totally recommend that seat if you’re going to make a reservation you can see the whole kitchen“

“Yummy yummy yummy to my tummy.“

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

“The chicken was ok. Pretty tender but not very flavourful besides the outside. Loved their fries. Girlfriend got the chicken burger and said it was good but a mess. White liquidy sauce was everywhere and soaked the buns which was off putting. Overall decent experience, but considering the price and the quality, there are better fried chicken places around Davie st.“

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

“One of my favourite spots for Korean food. The bibimbap was in a stone bowl and I had it with Korean fried chicken which was absolutely delicious. The staff is always friendly and super nice and gave my group pork cutlet to go with our meal. Highly recommend this place!!“

“High regard to the chefs and our server 😊“

“Outstanding food, service and ambiance! Highly recommended“

“Wow! We had a great meal here at Joon's Kitchen. We ordered a tonne of food for the table. The standouts for me are definately the Korean Tacos and the Sweet spicy/sweet soy fried chicken. These were just delicious. We also ordered Bibimbap (beef, chicken and veggie). These too were just amazing! California Roll and Unagi were also on point. Korean ribs would have better BBQ'd and were too fatty. But, that's always a risk when you order them. Overall, a great little Korean gem of a restaurant! Thanks for the wonderful food and friendly service.“

“I came here because it's said to be the hottest Korean restaurant in Vancouver, and it truly is a clean, delicious, and friendly place. Everything on the menu is tasty! I'm a naengmyeon (cold noodle) enthusiast, so I even come here in the winter, and it's definitely the best in Vancouver! The galbi (grilled ribs) was also incredibly tender and delicious. You can't go wrong with anything you order at this restaurant!“

“I ordered their Fried Chicken Slider which was excellent. It was flavourful and juicy on the inside. I was underwhelmed by their toast though. The bread tasted like it was well buttered and the sandwich itself was flavorful. I just wasn't blown away because it's something I can easily recreate at home. It's still a good sandwich though.“

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

“I'm completely satisfied with this restaurant. The food is amazing, the staff is respectful and caring, and the LCD on the tables provides privacy. I highly recommend it. Parking is limited, but there's usually space in the alley at night.“

“I had a wonderful experience here! Judy was incredibly kind and attentive — she made us feel so welcomed from the moment we walked in. Her warm service really made a difference. The food was absolutely delicious as well; everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. I’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommended!“

“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!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻“

“The best chicken wings ever!“

“밴쿠버 최고의 치킨“

“One of the best and unique hot dogs I’ve ever had! Got the vegetarian kimchi with marble cheese… and the Seoul chicken dog… SO DELICIOUS!! And the service was great, she was really nice and helped me choose the best options :)

Vegetarian options: Can substitute for veggie hot dog“

“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“

“Alright. My sister in law lives around the corner and we went to get some of the chicken!

We got the Half and Half of Soy Garlic and Buldak (spicy)... whoooaaa. those were so good!

All the kids grabbed the food before I could take a picture lol.

Price was good.
Service was pretty fast.
Staff was friendly and even tried to help with some of the ingredients (since my kids have some food allergies).“

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

“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!“

“This is by far my favorite food truck but I go out of my way to come to its location during work hours and it's rarely ever there! Unfortunately my lunch break is not earlier in your hours so I generally get there around 1:15 or 1:20 and by that point you either were never there at all or you've left early. It's very frustrating to come all of that way so many times and not get to eat there.“

“The server explained the menu very well and was incredibly kind. The food wasn’t expensive considering the portion size, and the large chicken was more than enough for two people—we even had leftovers. The atmosphere was so cozy and comfortable. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍“

“We went in for family dinner. The restaurant is under new management since the beginning of September. Tteokbokki and corn cheese were a match made in heaven. Regular chicken was delicious and crispy, and yangnyeom chicken was just right for us. (not too spicy) Each table were equipped with ordering tablet which were self explanatory. Definitely will visit again.“

“A pretty good Korean restaurant. We came on a weekday evening, and the place was basically full, so I’m not sure if it still counts as a hidden gem. But the food was definitely delicious. I especially recommend their seafood pancake — the thickness is impressive, and they’re really generous with the fillings. Highly recommended!“

“Great food 🥘 great service love the waitress smile 😃“

“Delicious food?? Jotted down as my “Happy to revisit” place~
They’re busy when I came to buy half order of original chicken for my lunch but I’m glad that I was informed about the waiting time and suggested to order by phone next time to save time as their waiting may range from 10 to 25 mins.“

“Their fried chicken is always so crunchy and yummy! Now I see the promotion lunch and the choices are not bad too.

Parking: The free parking lots are a bit narrow, and not too many lots too. There are street parking right on Kingsway so all good.“

“I’m glad I found this perfect lunch place! The food is great, the portion is nice and the price is really reasonable. Perfect for a busy day when you want something tasty without the long wait. Highly recommended! Would definitely come back!“

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

“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.“

“We've done takeout a number of times and we have been extremely happy with all our orders. Our usuals are salmon sashimi, chopped scallop roll, dynamite roll, and salmon maki. Sashimi is always fresh, firm, and tender (never those tough scrap pieces). Rice is really good and never mushy nor dry.

Really good value for the quality.

Staff are super friendly. Ordering and picking up are convenient.“

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

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

“I have been supporting them for 10 years since I first came to Canada.

Price has always been Good and it comes with good food. I have tried all Korean restaurants in downtown and Lougheed, good food like Sura and Todam are way too expensive and small portion. Other restaurants tasteless and cheaper. Then Ofc Chosun is the best option here.

On top of that, their servers are very cute and friendly. The boys are very nice, girls are attentive. Compared to others like Zabu Chicken which had the most unfriendly service.

I love their Lunch Menu. Such a good deal and I ordered on Uber Eats all the time.
Never order the downtown location as its more expensive and smaller size lol.“

“Good we will come back again“

“This has become my go to spot for KFC whenever I am in Vancouver. Right on Robson, steps from BC place, they have a great selection of Korean fried chicken and also a variety of other Korean dishes. I’ve tried their KFC a number of times with different flavours, and the bi bim bap was really tasty too.

“I always have a good experience with Chung Chun. Sometimes if the line is long there is a bit of a lengthy wait time but it's well worth the wait because the hot dogs never disappoint!

I highly recommend the half mozzarella flavor and my favorite sauces are sweet mayo and spicy mayo. Don't forget to add the honey butter powder too!“

“I came to Vancouver with family as a visitor on spring break, and one thing I really wanted to do was have sushi in this city. We decided to try out Sushi Howe, as it was walking distance from my hotel. We were not disappointed! This place is located beside the Tim Hortons on Davie St, so you can’t miss it.

As an appetizer, we ordered assorted tempura and sashimi.

As a meal, I ordered 8 dragon rolls for ~$16, and I could tell the ingredients were high quality. My dad got a bento box. It included 8 pieces of sushi, teriyaki beef, 2 spring rolls, a few pieces of tempura and salad, all for $16. Every bite of it was splendid. Even the salad dressing was amazing! My mom ordered two platters of spring rolls (about 12 in total). Again, it was amazing. I liked having some, and I’m not even big on spring rolls! We got one more plate of beef teriyaki as well.

The restaurant has a beautiful, cozy atmosphere. The staff are amazing people, and we felt at home the second we walked in.

In total, we spent $82 (Including taxes) and gave a 20% tip. I think we spent less than we would have if we ate at McDonald’s or Edo. The value we got for our buck is amazing, especially considering this place is in downtown Vancouver. We came home with 3 takeout plates, that’s how much food we had!

Don’t go to Edo, go to Sushi Howe!

Thanks for making our trip memorable!“

“I loved this place! The cheese tteokbokki was so good and they were perfectly chewy. The sauce wasn't too spicy so it was easy to enjoy. The dish is packed with rice cakes and fish cakes and loaded with cheese on top! I would have liked it if the cheese was more melted but it was still delicious. The soy garlic chicken was also juicy and crispy.“

“Mmmmmmmmmmmm mmmmmm!!!

We had a Korean fried chicken craving and knew we had to come here.

We called ahead of time and the order was ready in 20 minutes

We ordered full order of original and YanYeom.

Totally worth it..not every week but I’ll get it once in a while cause it so good…but bit pricey

Parking: Street parking on Dunbar .. can get busy depending on the time of day.
I ordered to pickup around 7 and it was fine

Wheelchair accessibility: No steps so wheel chairs should be able to get in“

“Came across this place recently and thought I'd try, and I'd have to say its pretty good. We went during lunch hour so it was quiet. They had tables so we were able to eat in.
The Chicken was cooked perfectly, crisp on the outside and juicy in the inside. Their fries were fab. Its one of those seasoned thick crispy style fries which I like. I also like that the food was not too salty like in other places. We got a half order of boneless chicken and half order of bone-in chicken, and fries, and it was too much for 2 people. We ended up bringing leftovers home so I'd say its a good value for the price and for what you get.
It takes about 10 mins or so to cook the chicken but you can call in to preorder if you prefer not to wait. The guy behind the counter was nice and polite and the place was kept clean. Good place to go when you crave fried chicken.“

“The meal was amazing. Great food and excellent service.“

“I went with my friends tonight
The place was really good, the table was a bit small for a group of 5 but we did it. We ordered 4 dishes, and it filled all of us.
Chicken, pork belly, seafood soup, and a pork meet plate. Very affordable price, and we tried a bit of everything
If you don't know too much about Korean food, I think it is a good place to start. Also, the portions are big enough to 2 people“

“This is a famous soybean paste restaurant..!
I recommend Ganjjajang. I ate sweet and sour pork, chadol jjamppong, and soy sauce.
There is some squid seafood in the chadol jjamppong. There are a lot of ingredients.
I also enjoyed the sweet and sour pork :) The staff were friendly. I ate it all and ended up eating about 71 (including tip).“

“Overall, the food portions were perfect, and the taste was delicious, although I have had better Korean food.
Service was excellent, and the servers were kind and friendly.
The place itself looks a bit old but clean.
Considering that there aren't many restaurants in the area, this is definitely a gem, and I'll definitely be coming back.“
