8 Best Korean Restaurants near St. Catharines

“I've never had Korean BBQ before so this was a great experience for me. The food was served fast and hot. The service was very friendly and helpful because we had a lot of questions!! I would definitely recommend and go back for seconds.“

“I love this place with all of my heart; it is one of my favourite resturants in the entire world; I looked forward to going to school all year because I knew I'd be able to come here for lunch. There are only a few items on the menu I haven't gotten yet.

My girlfriend doesn't even go to Brock and multiple times we planned our day around coming here for lunch and even celebrate me finishing my school year by coming here.

Portion sizes are great, prices are great, good is great, staff are great. Please support this spot to assure it stays open.“

“What a great night! We sat on the heated patio in January, and it was so much fun! The chef came out to tell us about some of the food, we had a charcoal grill on the table, the food selection and flavours were amazing. Definitely coming back and bringing more friends and family to enjoy the experience.“

“Amazing food and service!!! Everything was perfectly portioned and had amazing balance of flavors. Lots of vegetarian options, and a very good selection of dishes. Everything cane very quickly and tasted absolutely delicious. Highly recommend for any large or small group gatherings, or to just try the food yourself!“

“Authentic korean food. Good service. will be back again.“

“I have been wanting to try for years but life gets in the way lol, so happy and fulfilled that I finally got to dine here!! From what I gathered (from following their page), they change their menu from time to time (unsure of how often and when) and they print it with a cover that often features something artistic, a really nice touch.

The place feels like a speakeasy, when I got in there's a curtain that opens up to this dimly lit dining area with a bar area as well (but ample lighting I assure you). I mentioned that they change menus and that these menus featured art right? You would see a collection of the past ones framed and hanging on the walls which is a really great presentation of how established and dynamic this place is. When we went there's no wait to be seated but things got a bit busy where they had to start a wait list but things flowed nicely so I don't think the wait time was that long.

When we got seated we were explained how the menu worked as they were featuring this Monopoly themed drink menu where you can choose a drink or roll a dice and leave it up to fate to choose for you! But since I had a lot to do after dinner I opted for a mocktail which is pictured here (I am ashamed I can't remember the exact name - sour peach something?).

Moving on to the food, we got mini KFC, steak tataki, and kimchi chahan - favorite of the night STEAK TATAKI! I cannot stop gushing about that dish to everyone I can think of that would appreciate the flavor bomb of that chutney, it was absolute heaven in my mouth and the sear on the steak was perfect!!! The kimchi chahan comes second for me, it had this cripsy brussel sprout topping which had this seasoning on it that made it extra special, my partner loved it so much that he didn't want to mix it in and just eat it as it is but of course I wanted to experience a whole bite of the dish so I just set aside some pieces for him to munch on while we mix the bowl - as you can on the picture it was already mixed, our excitement made me forget to even take a photo of the dish untouched haha! The flavors melded so well for me, it tasted like comfort. For the mini KFC, the sizes of each bite were perfect that you would get all the flavor the chef is wanting you to experience per bite!

Overall, I would come back to this place to try all their other dishes. It was truly worthwhile! And I am excited to get my taste buds satisfied again!“

“We were hungry after visiting Niagara Falls and found Rok’s as we drove by. We had the Yang nyum and the Kal Bi fried chicken meals, they came with fries and radishes. I can’t even put into words how tasty both flavors were, everyone enjoyed it. I even dreamt about it for a few days afterwards, it was that good. I live in Maryland and I’m thinking about driving back to Canada just for this chicken!! Come to the US please.“

“Everything we ate and drank was fabulous! Would love to be go back sometime.“
