22 Best Korean Restaurants in Ottawa

“This place is so incredible! I’ve been here twice now and both times, our food was so delicious and fresh. The ttoekbokki is definitely my favourite of all the ones I’ve tried in Ottawa so far. Their beef bulgogi is my favourite and all the side dishes are also super yummy! To top it all off, their service is amazing.“

“We ordered soy garlic chicken, hot pepper chicken, and a few noodle dishes. The chicken was great and flavourful. I found it quite expensive, though, but you get a larger quantity. So, good if you're going with a few people to share. Wish they had a combo where you could choose different types of fried chicken and try a couple at a time. The space is on the smaller side, so be prepared to wait or take out.“

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

“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 staff...remarkable unique corn dogs“

“We went to the Korean house for a date night dinner. Opted to get dishes instead of the BBQ option. Really loved everything. We ordered the Kimchi Stew, Japche, Bipimbop, and BBQ chicken with mandu. Everything was incredible. Will be back to try the BBQ. Only wish there was more ventilation as the restaurant got smokey when some individuals obviously liked their meat crispy/burnt. Also we were put beside the door which was a pain because we kept gettibg cold or our conversation interrupted by ppl entering but food and service made up for it. Be back soon!!!“

“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! 🙏“

“Best sushi I’ve had in a long time! Super fresh, beautifully presented, and the portions were great. The service was amazing: friendly, respectful, and attentive. Only tiny note for the 4 star atmosphere: it gets a little cold when the door opens. Otherwise, everything was great. Highly recommend!“

“The atmosphere is a little bit of a turn off for me, their tables are made of a circular slab of wood on top of a oil barrel, theirs usually flies flying around. But on the other hand, their fried chicken may or may not be some of the best fried chicken I've ever had. As for the service, I have no complaints about it.“

“This cozy little sushi spot is family-owned and run by a lovely mother-daughter duo, which gives it such a personal and welcoming touch. The space is quite small, but it has a warm and comfortable vibe that makes you feel right at home. They also offer daily specials during the week, which is a nice bonus and shows they care about keeping things fresh and interesting.

I tried both the Tuna Love and Salmon Love combos. Personally, the tuna didn’t impress me much — it lacked the same freshness and flavor that I was hoping for. The salmon, on the other hand, was absolutely fantastic — fresh, buttery, and perfectly cut. I’d honestly go back just for that combo alone.

The gyoza was the only slight disappointment, as it tasted more like something cooked from frozen rather than made in-house. Still, that’s a small trade-off considering how great the salmon sushi was overall.

If you’re looking for a warm, family-run sushi spot with quality salmon and friendly service, this place is a hidden gem worth checking out!“

“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“

“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.“

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

“I ordered the bulgogi through Uber eats and it was AMAZING 😍 even though pickup took a little long, the restaurant kept my food hot until the driver arrived. By the time it was delivered, it was the perfect temperature and absolutely delicious. I didn't even stop to take pictures from how amazing it smelled. Next time I will take pictures when I bring my family and friends to dine in. Thank you!“

“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.“

“great staff...remarkable unique corn dogs“

“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.“
