17 Best Korean Restaurants in Thornhill

“That fried chicken sandwich is currently sitting as my #1 in Toronto, and I've eaten a lot. The fillings, the sauce, the bread, all so good. If you're in the area and you need a lunch, call ahead for a sandwich, will not regret. It is also massive! Their fried chicken is really crispy. It's on my top 5 list for crispiest chicken in the city. Chicken is fresh, oil is fresh. I like that they don't put the sauce on your chicken, that way it won't get soggy on your way home and when you reheat, the sauce won't burn. Their spicy yangnyeom was good, but not the best in town. Their soy garlic was only ok, a bit too runny. Their radishes were also only ok. Their kimchi fries were good, but Banh Mi Boys ironically does that better. But without a doubt, I'm going back for that fried chicken sandwich.
This place is takeout only.“

“It’s yummy, good service, clean and place is better than old place“

“Good taste with good service.“

“The king size dumplings are super tasty and the kimichi tastes super fresh. Highly recommend in term of the quality of the food and the dumplings are about $1-2 dollars cheaper than the other one. It tastes not as salty than the others nearby but its not as big (that has terrible customer service) that sells the same thing. Update: just went into the store in person to check out the place today. The server who greeted me had NO customer service. After I ordered she kicked me out of the store to stand in the cold for 10 mins to wait for the food...and there was only her and the cook and no other customer in the store. I have also ordered their homemade kimichi as a side and it is such a small bowl but more expensive than the other korean restaurant (theirs small kimichi is $3 bucks) nearby who served similar food....hmmmmmm worth to give it a try but the customer service will keep me from going into the store for a bit. Just order take out its easier“

“My first visit at De Chou via Google Map search. De Chou is an authentic Korean restaurant in Scarborough, there are many options on the menu from the traditional Korean dishes to fried chicken. We ordered the Combo CA1 (Japchae appetizer, Pork Bone Soup, and a Veggie Bibimbap) and an extra beef Bulgogi. The food tastes good especially the beef Bulgogi. Their prices are on the higher side compared to similar Korean restaurant. But overall it was a positive dining experiences.“

“The best Korean chicken !! Great service and yummy food !!“

“I really don't regret it. Of all the Korean restaurants I've been to, the food service and visuals were all the best!! I was impressed after taking a bite. I think I will have a fun trip thanks to Deokman :) May you prosper~!!

I especially recommend squid fried rice to those who like spicy food.!!“

“Very authentic Korean restaurant. You can taste the difference between these dishes that uses good quality species and ingredients and other similar stores that don’t put the same effort in. The kimchi was so flavourful and delicious. The pork one soup I had had lots of protein and intense flavour. The dishes were a bit spicy for me but I have a very low tolerance.“

“It's my first visit.

We ordered the LA Galbi, Cheonggukjang Jjigae, and Hwangtae Gui (Grilled Dried Pollack).

The Hwangtae Gui was presented first; however, it was notably tough and desiccated. It appeared that a significant amount of moisture was lost during preparation, likely due to the absence of a soy-sesame oil sauce application prior to cooking.

We believe the dish would be significantly enhanced by adequately rehydrating the dried pollack, seasoning it with a soy-sesame oil sauce sauce before cooking, and incorporating a subtle sweetness into the sauce.

The LA ribs and Cheonggukjang stew, which followed, offered a satisfactory flavor profile.“

“Tried to go to a place nearby that turned out to be closed for the month so we pivoted to here. So glad we did! We had the bibimnaengmyeon, pork, and a kids meal. They were all excellent. The char on the pork was really good and the bibimnaengmyeon was delicious (though it could have used a bit more of the spicy sauce). My kids ate all their food here too. A rarity for them 😆. We will definitely be back when we are in the area.“

“I had the shrimp fried rice here and it was sooo good😋😋 The portion was huge for the price!! I honestly couldn’t believe it😱 The kimchi that comes with it was great too. How is this even real? Definitely coming back to try other dishes next time!!“

“I saw this place promoted a lot on Instagram, which actually made me skeptical about coming here. Too many influencers gassing up garbage these days. But I was so pleasantly surprised with this restaurant! Service was excellent and super attentive. The food was authentic and well-flavoured. I love that they have items you wouldn’t usually find at other AYCES either - like raw marinated crab and soondae. Drinks, appetizers, banchan, and desserts are all self-serve. They also decreased their price to $39.99 on weekdays (not sure about weekends). They accept credit card, and there isn’t an automatic service charge either. This place truly deserves more love. Highly recommend!“

“Not my first time here and there's a reason I come back.
Underrated place for good 짜장면 (jjajangmyun - Black Bean Noodles) and 짬뽕 (jjamppong - Spicy Seafood Noodle Soup).
It's in a food court, so during busier times, it might be harder to find a table, but didn't have any issues today.

Ordering is easy, but choosing what to order is the difficult part.
Once you have ordered, you get a pager which notifies you when your food is ready. You can let them know if you would like to dine-in or takeout. Because I also ordered the combo which included 탕수육 (Sweet & Sour Pork), I asked for my order in takeout containers since I knew I wouldn't finish everything. My meal still came out on a tray so I could eat at a table with my friends.

After eating, you just return your tray to the tray cart labelled with the restaurants's name on it.

Portion sizes are fair and priced appropriately. Food is also very tasty, even better than some restaurants nearby.

The staff are friendly and helpful as well.“

“The owner is real cool. I love the Padak there. It is the best in town as far I know. Worth going. Enough food for what you pay for! Love it! Some cute waiters too. Plus coffee is available when you are done your meal.“

“This is a Korean-style Chinese restaurant surrounded by many similar options in the area. However, my wife and I consistently find ourselves recommending and returning to this place.

The prices are reasonable, the portions are satisfying, and the food is consistently delicious. While there are plenty of competitors nearby, this restaurant stands out for its combination of value, flavor, and reliability.

A great choice if you're looking for tasty Korean-Chinese food at a fair price.“

“Great family dinner at Kobi! They’re doing a takeout menu during the current lockdown, too, if you want some Korean BBQ meat packages.“

“To be honest, my first visit here was disappointing due to the service and the food, so I stopped coming. However, a friend recently had a gathering here and mentioned that it had improved, so we decided to try it again.We ordered the set menu with sizzling rice soup, yuringi, jjajangmyeon, and fried rice. The food came out hot, and the quality was better than before. The sizzling rice soup had a good amount of seafood and vegetables. The yuringi was crispy and went well with the sauce. Both the jjajangmyeon and fried rice were decent.The service has improved compared to our first experience, and the portions are large. The restaurant is clean and parking is convenient. I would consider coming back for a casual Korean Chinese meal.“
