50 Best Korean Restaurants near West Vancouver

“Me and boyfriend wanted to celebrate my citizenship ceremony. We were thinking of going to this place long time ago together as I went with my friends before. This was my second time and I really love their fried chicken and fries combo! They are very fresh and crispy. All the foods we ordered was good but highlight of this meal is definitely fried chicken. Thank you so much Ssal we had very nice meal“

“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!“

10 out of 5 huhhuhhuh
Thank you so much for the great generosity and kindness and good food!
Esp., Ddukbbokkii is better than Korea!“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at this location for lunch. The service was exceptional and the cuisine was absolutely delightful. The chicken was cooked to perfection, with a crunchy exterior and a juicy, flavorful interior. The combination of spicy, sweet, and umami flavors left me craving more. Although the portion size was modest, it was sufficient, and I look forward to indulging in a larger portion on my next visit. While the atmosphere, typical of a fast-food takeout establishment, left something to be desired, the premises were clean and well-maintained.“

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

“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.“

“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, once again my experience at your place is a 10/10. Food is always spectacular but the real enjoyment comes from the staff. My server Connie and I had a great convo about keeping your plants healthy and happy. (I love that). And Kevin (chef) let me taste test some of there delicious homemade sauces. 😋

Can't wait till next time... keep up the great work.

P.S.. The music is great and at the perfect volume. Lol.. something that really makes or breaks my mood in restaurants these days...“

“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.“

“For me personally, their chicken sandwich is hands down the best I’ve had. So juicy and delicious. The chicken wings are also really good and I enjoyed a few of their different flavors of boneless fried chicken! Would easily come back again, they’re really good!“

“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.“

“Ordered the spicy grilled chicken rice bowl as well as a spicy tuna and a garlic chicken kimbap. Chicken on rice was delicious, moist, and covered in a buldak sauce. The kimbap was also great. It wasn't eaten until much later, but the rice didn't dry out or get mushy and the rice:filling ratio was just right. I'll definitely be back for more kimbap!“

“delicious chicken. however- how are you running out of chicken? two different times we have called in the last two weeks for chicken and you've been out. I can't even understand how this is happening. not impressed“

“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!“

“The best chicken wings ever!“

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

“Cute little place serves Korean street food! Recommend to get the kimbaps for sure! We’ve tried bulgolgi, tuna, and spice pork, all very flavourful! Kimchi fried rice is good but quite spicy. Bulgolgi fried rice I would say pretty standard, can’t go wrong. Definitely recommend Omurice combo with pork cutlet. If you’re in downtown near by Robson, and want something quick and cheap, come to Nomnom!“

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

“It was our first time coming to this restaurant and we give it a 10/10. The food was very comforting. We recommend the eel and the abalone sot bap. It was well seasoned and very tasty. The nurunji at the bottom of the sot bap was very good as well. My spouse ended up ordering another one to take home because it was so good. The soup that comes with it is also well seasoned ends your meal with a nice touch. Parking is easy as we just parked along the street somewhere. We will definitely come here as regulars.“

“This hidden gem in Downtown Vancouver is my favourite place to eat Korean food! if you’re ever shopping around and you wanna eat good Japanese/Korean cuisine they have really great Korean food and great sushi as well. I recommend the RED DRAGON Roll. We are obsessed with that one and also the chicken karage is the best in the city. The staff are so professional and kind our food is always fresh and they always remember all of our sauces. We love Banju! and we know you will love it too. Kamsahamnida Banju!“

“Good we will come back again“

“I’m traveling right now, and during my trip to Toronto and Vancouver, it’s been a long time since I’ve enjoyed real decent Korean food this much. Even though it’s far, this is definitely a place I want to come back to.

The chestnut-flavored makgeolli, soju, sundae soup, seafood pancake, and makchang sundae were all delicious. Thank you for making it so comfortable and enjoyable for me to dine here.

Emma’s service was amazing as well, and I truly appreciate all the little things you did to take care of me.

I hope to see you again next time. ^^*“

“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 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“

“We got Army stew, the fried tteokbokki, cheese balls and fried dumplings. So good, the amount is definitely more than enough for 2 people or perfect for 3. I felt like the dumplings could have been tastier (alittle more salt, more scallions) but that might just be my personal preference. Staff were very friendly and we went at a good quiet time, interesting decos too (star wars and stuff).“

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

“I ordered 족발 for my dinner to have with my family and it was amazing! The food was really good and it was exact 족발 i was looking for. I love their foods so much so hope there will be more people visiting to have meal with their friends or family!!“

“Serving is HUGE and yum yum! The photo below was taken after I ate. This order is L6 on the lunch menu, about $25 and it would serve 2 people as you can see with the amount of food left. I am writing this review with a full stomach and what seems to be one more serving of food! The tangsuyuk and fried rice taste really good and they serve it hot. The place is nice as well especially the patio. Even if you dine outside, the staff will still check on you regularly. Highly recommended!💜💜💜“

“This is my go-to Korean restaurant. There's nothing fancy about it, just great food with big portion sizes. The kimchi is the best I've had and they have my favourite banchan item as well - this potato in a sweet savory sticky sauce. You only can refill one banchan and I always go for the potato. It's so good they should put it on the menu as a side dish of its own. If I could only recommend one dish it would be the ddookbaegi bulgogi - great on a cold winter's day.“

“😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!!!“

“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“

“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.“

“Jang Mo Jib absolutely delivered! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, exactly what you want from a Korean restaurant. The food was outstanding, the service was attentive and friendly, and the value for what you get is unbeatable. This place checks every box. Already planning my next visit“

“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 ♿“

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