50 Best Korean Restaurants near West Vancouver

“I absolutely love this restaurant! The quality of the Korean cuisine is exceptional, and the staff are incredibly polite and attentive. The extensive variety of dishes on the menu ensures there's something to satisfy every craving. A true delight!“

“Yummy yummy yummy to my tummy.“

“At Chicko Chicken in Capilano, biting into their fried chicken is like experiencing a culinary fireworks show—each crunch explodes with flavor, sending your taste buds into a celebratory dance. The golden-brown coating is crispy and light, almost like a delicate armor, encasing the tender meat within. It’s a symphony of textures: the satisfying crackle of the crust giving way to the succulent, juicy interior, which seems to melt in your mouth like butter on a hot skillet.

The seasoning, with its perfect balance of savory spices, is the real hero of the dish. Each piece is marinated to perfection, allowing the flavors to infuse the chicken deeply, creating layers of taste that build with every bite. It's like unwrapping a gift where each bite reveals a new and delicious surprise—sweet, salty, and a subtle heat that lingers just enough to keep you wanting more.

Pair it with their homemade sauces, and you have a match made in heaven. Whether you go for the tangy, finger-licking goodness of their soy garlic or the spicy kick of the hot and sweet option, the sauces coat the chicken like a vibrant, flavorful glaze, making the experience even more indulgent. Chicko Chicken's fried chicken is not just food—it’s a masterpiece in fried form, showcasing how something so simple can be elevated to an unforgettable treat that you'll crave long after the last bite.“

“Very interesting authentic Korean dishes!“

“Great and delicious Korean BBQ“

“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.“

“We met up with a friend here for lunch and it was good. We were seated very quickly when we arrived.

After looking at their menu, at first we were thinking about individual entrees but we saw their whole menu through a QR code and got a Hot Plate to share. I wish they had a physical copy of their Hot Plate menus on the table.

We ordered the Hot Plate Teokbokki, substituted the pork for beef, and added ramen. It was nice how they brought the huge hot plate and had it grilled at our table. We waited a couple minutes to cook before we ate. Our hot plate had so many components: beef, chicken katsu, fish cakes, rice cakes, cheese, corn, steamed egg on the side, gyoza, egg in the center, and green onion.

I loved the fish cakes, beef, and chicken katsu the best. The beef was flavorful and I loved the texture of the chicken katsu. I really liked the corn and melted cheese on the side. Also the banchan on the side were tasty too. There were so many options to choose from since it came with so much, I liked it. Everything was delicious.

We had a good experience here and it's great to share hot plates if you have a small group.“

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

“Narumi San was a patient and unobtrusive server who made our lunch at Joon's Kitchen all the more relaxing through her attentiveness. Food is good quality with lovely presentation and well made. Unhurried atmosphere. Neighbourhood gem.“

“Outstanding food, service and ambiance! Highly recommended“

“This is my go-to place whenever I miss Korean food. The owner is so friendly, and the food is absolutely delicious. The bibimbap, in particular, is amazing, and the atmosphere is great too. The portions are generous, and the prices are reasonable, so I’m always satisfied. Since the owner is Korean, it really feels like I’m having a meal back home. The location is convenient and easy to find, so I visit often.“

“Excellent cheap eat! Many offerings. I ordered for pick up and chose the One(sandwich). I was full enough and had my own water. Easy ordering online from my smartphone.

Just adding another order that was delicious! Again, ordered online and selected the Croffle Chicken. Two pieces of fried chicken & two waffles. You have a choice of sauces from hot, spicy, sweet and tangy. Waffles were kinda similar to a churro.“

“Looking forward to the special lunch boxes at Zoomak again. This is one of my regular places we head out to for work lunches and the quality of food and taste is superb. We rotate between getting the short rib and pork boxes and the super authentic jjampong. Service is fast and attentive as always. Will be going again soon with my co workers our favorite repeat restaurant in Gastown.“

“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.“

“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!“

“The chicken was delicious. However it doesn’t look good when customers can see employees eating in the kitchen while wearing gloves and not changing their gloves or washing their hands before talking customers food.“

“? Makgeolli and Jeon: A Perfect Pairing at Mapo ?

Visiting Mapo Pancake House in Yaletown at 10 PM was a delightful experience. The Assorted Jeon platter was exceptional, offering a variety of flavors and textures that were both satisfying and delicious. ?

To complement the meal, I ordered the Makgeolli Sampler, which included Original, Chestnut, Citron, and Green Grape flavors. Each variant provided a unique taste, enhancing the overall dining experience. ?

The ambiance was warm and inviting, making it an ideal spot for late-night dining. The staff were attentive and friendly, ensuring a pleasant visit. ?

I'm looking forward to returning to try their Seafood Green Onion Pancake, as it comes highly recommended. Mapo Pancake House is a must-visit for anyone seeking authentic Korean pancakes in Vancouver. ?“

“The best chicken wings ever!“

“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“

“Great food, Excellent Service Tried first time since pre Covid and still excellent.“

“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“

“This is my first review since I came to Vancouver for a few months.
I miss Korean food, so I've been to a lot of Korean restaurants, but this is my favorite restaurant ?
Service and taste are everything!
At first, I went to drink soju with a friend.
For snacks, I ordered tofu cheese salad, pork cutlet, and grilled pollack roe.
But everything was so delicious and the owner was friendly, so I went for drinks a few times after that.
Whenever I want to eat Korean food, I order takeout or delivery, and I was impressed after eating "Kimchi Jjigae" ??
It was much more delicious than the kimchi stew I had in Korea. The depth of the soup was different.. The quality of the meat was also good.
I'm sad that I'm leaving Vancouver soon.
If I had known about Lorimomo a little earlier, I would have gone more often.
I recommend all the menu items I've tried: kimchi stew, Namsan pork cutlet, kimchi oden udon, and tofu cheese salad??“

“I'm always sad to see a Daeji location not have business, as the place was empty when I showed up! Staff were very kind and attentive. They brought out delicious miso soup and the pork cutlet was sooooo juicy. It even comes pre-cut so I didn't have to cut it up! All the sides were as always, great, I was happy to see this location still includes the pickled radish!

Another thing I forgot to point out are the prices! So cheap for so much food that's so good!!!!“

“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).“

“밴쿠버 최고의 치킨“

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

“First time trying NeNe Chicken and was surprised how delicious and juicy the chicken is. What really caught my attention was the Lemon Holic Chicken. It had a citrus and hint of lemon flavour in every bite. That just hit differently.

On top of that, the service was really friendly and super helpful with deciding on what to order. They even suggested we order off Uber Eats to get extra savings! Who does that!?!

Overall experience at this location was pleasant and will definitely be returning! Thank you, NeNe Chicken Kingsway 😃“

“Enjoyed a bowl of cold buckwheat noodles and the most delicious and premium seafood pancake I've had. The value of the pancake is worth the higher than average cost. The pots of hot corn tea made sitting outside on a chilly evening quite comfortable and a kettle of Makgeolli was the perfect size for a table of 3-4.“

“Order of take out TteokBokki + Veg Tempura and the Veg Gimbap, both were excellent. They also included some free shrimp crackers and a discount coupon for next time. I will definitely be back for all Korean food cravings! Can’t comment on atmosphere as I had delivery. For future would love to be able to order the TteokBokki alone. :)“

“Best manduguk in Vancouver. Best potatoe side dish in Vancouver.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“yum yum yum yum yum yum yum so sweet“

“As the saying goes, I give it a thumbs up!!
Light and crispy sweet and sour pork, black bean paste & jjamppong are also classic~~ It's worth visiting from afar. + I felt better because of the kindness that brightened up the gloomy Raincouver^^“

“Takeaway spicy seafood noodles and fried noodles
The portion of seafood noodles is large, which may be just right for two girls to eat together.
The seafood noodles are full of aroma and the soup is rich and delicious. It's still delicious when you take it home and the texture of the noodles doesn't get worse.
The spiciness is just right for Taiwanese, and it tastes better than the noodles I had in Seoul before. There is no such delicious Korean food in Tainan.
A good choice after getting tired of hamburger pizza“

“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 place is quaint, very cozy (get to know the table beside you), and popping with K-pop. The fried chicken is super fresh, tender, and crunchy, with all the right flavors. Spice is life, and the food here can be spicy! Service is very friendly, we always joke with the hosts, the cooks, and/or the owners. If I could speak Korean, I would sit and chat with the staff here all day. They have beer! By the pint and pitcher! Parking is rare, so carpool or walk/bike/bus. Always happy to come back.“

“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.“

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

“Very tasty anddelicious food!“

“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.“

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

“Reliable for simple and satisfying homestyle Korean food. Nothing blows me away but everything is good and flavourful. The meals all include lots of vegetables which I appreciate, and things aren't overly oily.There's no atmosphere to speak of and I think they probably have more takeout than dine-in customers, but having done both, dine-in is the way to go, because the food comes out super fresh. The people who work there are nice and hardworking.“

“THANK YOU Angela!!! You are the shiniest star at that Chicko Chicken!!!Sorry for this long overdue review! We are the group of eight people with two children who visited the store last Saturday night. We were waiting for a large party table at the Korean restaurant next door, but after waiting for 40mins, we were told that they can’t accommodate our large group sue to limited space. While disappointed that we were not able to enjoy the food from that restaurant, especially with two hungry one-year-old who were at dinner time ?,we were hoping to order takeout from this restaurant and eat next door at Chicko Chicken (nobody was dining in at that moment). Angela graciously allowed us to come in and stay so we don’t have to stand outside in the cold winter night and figure out the alternatives. We ordered the take out, and some delicious chicken from Chicko Chicken. It was a memorable night!! Everyone in our group wants to express their sincere appreciation for Angela solving our awkward situation. Your kindness with not be overseen, and you will certainly be bless by your own kindness :)“

“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“

“Stopped by Pelicana Chicken recently, and it was such a good choice! The place has this cozy, inviting vibe with fun decor that showcases their Korean roots. I went for a chicken bowl, and wow—it was amazing. The fried chicken was crispy and packed with flavor, and the noodles were perfect alongside it. Loved the mix of corn and veggies, too; it made the whole dish feel balanced and fresh. Honestly, it was one of those meals where every bite is satisfying. Can’t wait to come back for more!“

“We had to make last minute plans to stay at a hotel for a night and ordered here through Door Dash.

I got the half chicken sweet and spicy.
My wife ordered the Soy Garlic boneless (2 for 1 deal).
And 2 Large of the pickled radish.

Absolutely perfect!
Great crunchy bread coating, tender juicy chicken, and not too much of the sauce or spice.
I didn't find any small broken bone pieces that most places leave in. It's like they took time to prep the chicken beforehand and did it very meticulously.

The radish were perfect and not too heavy on the sweet side leaving the radish and vinegar to shine on this. Cuts through to cleanse the pallette as they say.

The Kimchi fried rice had a nice heat to it and has been the best I've had, even when I was stationed in Korea!

I wish they'd have one here because the one at the Korean market by our house...well...it'd be shut down if K One were in town.“
