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! :)“

“Delicious and simple stone bowl bibimbap and Korean fried chicken, and with tremendously friendly service. An absolute pleasure to visit, I In an excellent food court that I would never have found if not for Google Maps. Really cute and felt like a hidden secret, and made me feel like a tourist in my own city. An excellent lunch stop.“

“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!“

“Sooo delicious and wonderfully made. You will be surprised by the portions and variety on the menue. Never seen a place with such a good value for the price you pay. My wife and I eat two whole meals with icecream and drinks for around $25. It is amazing.“

“One of the best Korean spots in town! Their seafood pancake is hands down my favorite — super crispy on the outside, loaded with seafood, and just so tasty.

The Makgeolli Jogae Jjim is a must-try too. If you’re into clams, you’ll love this one!

Also, don’t skip the Spicy Seafood Stew — rich soup base, big portions, and perfect for sharing. Overall, a great place to chill and eat good food with friends or family.“

“Second visit here. Was craving some homey food, with the intent to get the seafood tofu soup.
Saw the beef tofu soup being labelled as recommended, but stuck to my intentions and was really happy I had my seafood tofu soup :).

Both visits service was friendly. Quiet area but they open late. Off school season so maybe that’s why it was less busy but I’ll definitely
Be back again and maybe try the chicken.“

“High regard to the chefs and our server 😊“

“밴쿠버 최고의 치킨“

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

“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!“

“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“

“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.. 😋“

“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!“

“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!“

“Been going here for quite a while, probably since it opened. Probably one of the best places in Vancouver to get quick and easy Korean fried chicken. Huge fan of the daily special with rice and some of the signature sauce, but you also can't go wrong with any of the combos either. Staff here are all incredibly kind and service is always quick. Highly recommend popping by if you're on Robson.“

“I ordered the curry chicken, and it was really good. It had a nice sweet ish flavour and was very well seasoned. Plus, the staff there were lovely. I also liked the restaurant, we were seated on the patio, and the decorations, news, and food brought me right back to Korea. Definitely coming back here next time I’m in the area!“

“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!“

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

“Good we will come back again“

“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.“

“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.“

“this is a GREAT sushi spot! i’ve been in vancouver for 3 years, and this will now be my new go to sushi place. was greeted by the sweetest people and had an amazing meal. All flavours were so yummy, even the tuna roll and miso soup went above and beyond! my yakisoba was full of veggies and chicken, and the chicken pieces were full of flavour + had no chewy bits!!!

to top it all off, it was affordable and fast. 10/10“

“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.“

“Friendly and cute service on the Saturday eve in August.

Food was tasty. Of course you don't come here if you're 100% after health due to the nitrites/nitrates in the sausages but if you're somewhat hungry and don't want to take out a line of credit for a Vancouver sandwich or appy then this is the spot.

If you expect to dine-in, don't. Little to no seating in general. This is purely a take-out spot. Nothing wrong with that.

Would revisit soon.“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“I don't get fried chicken often, but when I do, it's usually Korean fried chicken. Since I haven't tried many other places, I always end up getting Chicko Chicken. I've been getting their cheese snow and yangyeom flavours and it seems like they have expanded their flavor options since I last visited. My only objection is that their prices aren't great. They also used to provide pickled radish with their orders but don't anymore. When I visited this location, it was completely empty with one other customer coming in for a pickup order. The store had standard furnishing but seemed a bit dim/dull. We were able to get our chicken in 15 minutes and it's nice knowing that it's fried to order. I will definitely be going back to try their other flavours.“
