23 Best Korean Restaurants in Ottawa

“The food has been Wonderful! Like you are in Korea. The Kimchi was delicious, as was the exceptional Bulgogi and Jeyuk. The Dongas taste as good and tasty as a wienerschnitzel but then better! You go here for the food and friendly service. The ambiance is alright, but very clean!“

“Love the fried chicken! Such wonderful attention to detail in the food, packaging, and service.“

“My sister and I have been obsessed with Korean movies for sometime now and we decided to try out some of their dishes and honestly we loved it here. The meals were delicious. I highly recommend here. Very calm ambiance, conservative and neat. Friendly staff. The food portion is quite large. Delicious meal 😍. A very amazing first time experience 🤩.“

“I went to Kimbap for the first time on a Saturday, around midday. The gentleman was very welcoming and extremely efficient. I ordered the beef kimbap which was absolutely delicious, and ready in record time! The atmosphere is cozy and well arranged. If you're looking for a quick bite to eat whether on your lunch break or just passing by, it's a must visit.“

“Awesome food served by great staff.“

“Great good with great value“

“I was craving bibimbap so decided to try Korean House restaurant! I’m very glad I did - the portion size is generous and the ingredients are delicious! Would recommend dinning in to enjoy the crispy rice from the stone pot bowl. The staff are also very attentive and friendly.“

“Vegan, gluten-free options! 🥰 Food was fresh and delicious. You can buy their kimchi (2 types) and so, so good. Never thought I would find gluten-free vegan Korean dishes in Ottawa. So glad you are doing this! 🙏“

“This place is brand new. Very clean, nice space. Quick and polite service and tasty food. I'm looking forward to coming back to try some of the other menu items. The one thing I would improve is the quantity of weather waffle fries. They were tasty but the portion was on the small side.“

“Sushi Fresh took a wet, tired evening in the ByWard Market and quietly turned it into something almost luminous. Rain was still clinging to coats when the door closed behind and the room wrapped everything in a softer light. The staff moved like they actually cared whether the day ended well. Small questions, careful glances, water glasses topped up before they were empty. Nothing showy, just a calm intention that settled the table and slowed the clock a little.

Then the sushi arrived, all together on the most beautiful plate I have ever seen. A long wooden board, smooth and warm, carrying five specialty rolls laid out like a painter’s last careful strokes. Colour everywhere. Deep reds, pale greens, small sparks of orange, each piece holding its place as if it had rehearsed it. For a moment it felt wrong to touch anything. The first bite broke the spell only to build a new one. Rice with the right weight, fish that tasted clean and alive, sauces that whispered instead of shouted. Sharing those rolls in that quiet bubble of warmth while the rain kept falling outside felt strangely intimate. It was only dinner, yet walking out it felt like the kind of small, perfect scene the mind keeps for days when it needs proof that beauty still shows up without warning.“

“Tastiest Korean style fried chicken in Ottawa, always fresh, ordered from here over 15 times and never disappointed! The seasoned chicken or the Cheese one are amazing! If I was to make a tiny edit to the cheese chicken it would be to add a little extra powdered seasoning at the top, otherwise 100% A+. The cheese corn dish is also tasty so are the sweet potato fries. Just nice to have gems like this!“

“Vegan, gluten-free options! 🥰 Food was fresh and delicious. You can buy their kimchi (2 types) and so, so good. Never thought I would find gluten-free vegan Korean dishes in Ottawa. So glad you are doing this! 🙏“

“Absolutely the best sushi in Ottawa. I'm sad it took us two years to find this place. They also have some delicious Korean dishes as well.

This is mostly a take-out/delivery restaurant but there are a couple of small tables to sit at and a counter at the window. We like to eat in most of the time because we like the tiny low key atmosphere.

Plus, the staff are so kind, polite and friendly!

Great food, great prices and great portions. I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone.“

“the food was tasty but I was upset with the kimchi fried rice. it was black due to soy sauce instead of red because of the kimchi. japche was good though“

“Wowowow this food was sooooo delicious! We ordered 2 main meals and shared between 2. The potion sizes were huge so we were totally full. We got a boneless chicken and I would say a small is definitely enough food. We also got a K bowl with beef. The flavors were so amazing. We got some honey garlic sauce and it was by far our favorite. I don’t think we liked their BBQ sauce. They accidentally got our order wrong and gave us a huge fired chicken platter. I notified them of the mistake and they let us keep them and gave us the correct order. Very nice of them. I would 100% go back next time I am in Canada as there were so many more things I wanted to try on the menu!“

“Amazing service when Uber eats messed up. They delivered the missing food themselves👍🏼“

“The quality of food is still the same, and my friend and I enjoy very much. It is the service that I have problem with: extensive wait time due to tables are not cleaned and ready, poor management on the floor (yup, the cleaning of the table is part of this problem). The floor staff should prioritize what should be done first and what's next (although there are only two guys on the floor). Changing the large portion of the restaurant to be the all-you-can-eat bbq is a bad move, and the choice is so limited makes me regret the first and only time when me and my girlfriends had the bbq. I hope they can be flexible on yhat.“

“great staff...remarkable unique corn dogs“

“I love Raon Kitchen's kimchi. it's not as salty as the store bought ones and tastes amazing. it's a staple item in my fridge. I've recently tried the gochujang paste and it's also wonderful. Hana's service is outstanding. We're fortunate to have Raon in Ottawa.“

“We stopped by this restaurant on Saturday evening with our family of five and were greeted and seated right away. Instead of the all-you-can-eat BBQ, we ordered a variety of dishes from the menu. Even my three picky kids enjoyed everything we tried. We had the bibimbap, bulgogi, seafood platter, pork and potato stew, chicken fried rice, and California rolls. Every dish was perfectly seasoned, full of flavour, and absolutely delicious. We’ll definitely be coming back!“

“First time here, Panini and soup was unreal. Like everyone else it's a little hard to find. When you go in the lobby your auto instinct is to take the elevators to the right, but no go left and you will see the sign and the stairs right beside. Busy place to do you know it's good.“

“The best kimchi! Along with all your Korean grocery needs! #downtownbank #supportsmallbusiness #sharethelove“

“Excellent, fresh, sushi. Service was quick, orders were accurate and staff were friendly.“
