50 Best Korean Restaurants in Toronto

“I was craving some katsu and rice, so I randomly stumbled upon this place, and I see why it's so highly rated now. I got the combo pork katsu set which has two pieces of pork, and half signature katsu sauce and half creamy sauce, and also came with rice, corn and cabbage salad. The SERVINGS were diabolically generous like holyymoly wow. I was pretty hungry too, but I think I managed to get through about 60%. It was delicious though, and I really wanted to keep stuffing my face but my stomach was going to explode. The pork was so crispy! And the sauce was well balanced, the katsu sauce and the creamy sauce worked well together actually! I enjoyed each bite with both sauces together, but on their own, it was also nice too. Recommend coming here! Make sure your ready to EAT“

“Diner Seoul is a perfect place for those who enjoy Korean cuisine, but would like to try another take at it. You can tell that the chef tries different ideas and creates their version of the familiar dishes, and I think that deserves many stars for a city like Toronto where there aren't too many innovators. I'm hoping that they have interesting dishes for different seasons, for I'd like to see what ideas that the chef has.

The restaurant itself is a cute, small and cozy space with about 24 seats available. I visited with about 16 people and had a great time ?

I highly recommend this place for dates, the atmosphere is perfect for couples who would like to dine with a comforting vibe, interesting yet not-so-strange dishes and kind services.

Looking forward to visiting you again!“

“The environment is good, the food is good, and the service is fast and nice“

“We had the spicy pork bulgogi on a sizzling platter and seafood noodle soup and we are stuffffffffed. Also hot take but the california rolls are weirdly good. Cozy place too with a cute front room. Our server was very friendly and kind too. :)“

“Kachi Korean Restaurant is a real gem in the heart of Toronto, located on Dundas Street in Kensington–Chinatown. From the moment you arrive, you’re greeted by warm, friendly staff who make you feel welcome and genuinely care about your dining experience.
The dishes are absolutely delicious and very generous, large portions, plenty of side dishes (banchan), and authentic flavors that truly capture the essence of Korean cuisine. Whether it’s bibimbap, soups, or grilled dishes, everything is flavorful, comforting, and satisfying.
With excellent value for money, a cozy atmosphere, and hearty, tasty food, Kachi is definitely a must-visit for anyone craving authentic Korean food in Toronto!“

“This is a amazing spot.
Foods are sweet mostly, kept forget serving a few items after you asked it
But I still give 5 star, because great value dine-in compare to the so cheap price and quality of meats !!!
Furthermore so detailed and nastalgia interior of about 1970-1980 in Korea.
I absolutely want to come back“

“Jason made us feel like family when we visited yesterday. food was great, we will be back!“

“Great spot for authentic Korean food in downtown. All the side dishes are refillable and were all super tasty (especially the kimchi which we reordered many times). The gamjatang was good except one of ours didn’t come with the kimchi on top (just bean sprouts). Katsu was crispy, tteokboki was spicy and chewy, bibimbap was fresh and all the portion sizes were great. Servers were super friendly although it was busy they helped us as best as they could.“

“If you're near Lansdowne Station in Toronto, don't miss this cozy gem right by the subway exit! The moment you walk in, the charming decor and warm ambiance instantly make you feel at home. It’s my spot whenever I’m feeling stressed or just need a comforting meal, and it never disappoints.

I’ve tried almost everything on the menu, and each dish is thoughtfully prepared and topped with their signature house-made sauces. My personal favorite is the Don Katsu crispy, tender, and bursting with flavor every single time. I was just there again today, and as always, it hit the spot.

The prices are very reasonable for the portion sizes, and the food is consistently satisfying. What makes this place even more special is the people who run it that they’re genuinely kind, welcoming, and always smiling. It truly feels like my “fourth place” outside of home and work.

If you're looking for a spot that combines great food, comforting vibes, and heartfelt service, this is it. A hidden gem in Toronto that’s absolutely worth discovering!“

“Really impressed by how juicy and tender the inside of the fried chicken was. I got the takeout menu that's a lot cheaper than the sit-in menu (just ~$21 for medium vs. ~$28 for small). I know it's takeout because the waitress brought the food to me in a takeout box and not on a plate and took away the cutlery. But I finished the food at the restaurant without problems. Music was too loud but tolerable“

“Fried chicken was outstanding
First time here
Waitress was excellent
Very welcoming even providing a complimentary dish realizing it was our first time trying there restaurant.
Service beyond 5 star
Napkins water always there for anything that we needed.
Overall outstanding place to eat and reasonable priced
We will be back“

“Staff was very friendly, food was fresh and delicious and very filling. Compared to Egg Club it was more crispy / well toasted, and since this had corn in the egg mixture, it was a
bit sweeter in flavour. I had the double cheese bacon toast and it was not lacking in either component. Bacon was crisp, cheese was ample and well melted

I'm not saying one is better than the other since they're both delicious egg in bread establishments. Just an observation.

Will be back to try more of the menu“

“This is the best hole in the wall. I remember coming when it was a different Sushi restaurant years ago.

It is s Korean restaurant now and still tasty and the service warm and friendly.

We had the chicken and beef/ eel Bibimbap and everything was delicious.“

“One of the best korean traditional and fusion food. Proud to be korean ♡♡ 꺅 <3“

“Beef rib bone soup, except the beef is less, mainly bone, the beef soup is delicious.
The spicy fish roe soup is rare in common Korean meal and taste okay.
Pork kimchi stew taste alright
The side dishes are tastes yummy !“

“Ordered Sarang Feast and it turned out to be very fulfilling for 4 people. The chicken is halal and absolutely loved the Malaysian Spice and Hard Case. The ambience is calm and there is a sensory room in the restaurant to accommodate people with sensory needs. Overall, it was a good experience.“

“Absolutely fantastic! Authentic Korean flavors, fresh ingredients, and perfectly balanced spices. The staff was warm and attentive, and the atmosphere was cozy yet vibrant. Every dish—from the sizzling bulgogi to the kimchi—was a delight. Will definitely be coming back!“

“맛있다 , 다음 번에 다시 돌아 볼 수 있습니다.“

“It’s better then KFC Cheese stick OMG🤤best I’ve ever had The spicy 🌶️ pastas ou 😋 So I give it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“crispy chicken could eat it all day long every day“

“The food was perfect! I ordered the Cream Udon and Cheese Kimbap - starting off with the Cream Udon, it was slightly thick and creamy followed by a hint of spice and sweetness so it wasn’t too heavy. The udon was also cooked perfectly! The cheese Kimbap was great as well - perfect kick of spice and was wrapped well! Love the environment of the place and service was kind!

Will be coming again!“

“The owner was very kinda and the food came extremely fast. The happy hour 5-7 is a great deal, especially the kimchi fries which are a really good portion and super crispy. We got 3 happy hour dishes to share and it was more than enough for 2 people. Would love to come back sometime“

“Very tasty and healthy food here! Also, everyone is really friendly here, always smiling and very polite. Definitely recommend this place!

Edit.
Just tried their Chicken Dosirak and that thing blew me away. The chicken was so good! Juicy and slightly sweet, just the way I like it!“

“Genuinely, this is probably the best place to get Korean food in Toronto and one of the best restaurants in Toronto (I feel strongly!). The food tastes like REAL food and I truly believe I could eat it every day and feel great. The owner is so sweet and always remembers us and gives us new things to try. The best....simply the best! Thank you thank you!“

“This man didn't see my 4 year old at first, and in his moment of surprise he performed some sort of magic, producing a couple of small candies for my son accompanied by the sweetest smile. At our request he suggested a dish he thought my picky eater would enjoy, which was very different from what I would have guessed! It was delicious, and he saved some to eat for his bedtime snack. The adult food was BERY delicious as well, which is what I expect of Korean food. What a pleasant experience.“

“I’ve been to Mapo Gamjatang many times, and it continues to be one of my top spots for gamjatang. They offer several variations of the dish, and no matter which one I order, the broth is always rich and flavorful, and the meat is so tender it practically falls off the bone. They are also generous with the portions, the staff are friendly, and the service is quick. I highly recommend coming here!“

“I tried something new to me tonight: Curry Fries. It's a lot for a snack: a nice box of fries with a ladle of fantastic chicken curry sauce over the top. Highly recommended.“

“The best korean fried chicken I've ever had. 🤤“

“Love this place! The tteokbokki is our favorite! Affordable and plentyy! We’ve going back for it over and over again for the past year and a half. The portion is so big, and despite me eating a lottt in general, this one fills me up easily. Service can be a little slow at times but they do get really busy there so I get it. Also, the unlimited side dishes are greattt too! I love the pickled radish and the glass noodles!“

“My family visits Dan Gol often and we’d say this is our favourite Korean restaurant. We have tried various dishes including the bibimbap, Katsu, gamjatang, jajangmyeon, cold noodles, sundubu jjigae and dumpling/rice cake soup. All the dishes are made well and are very flavourful and taste authentic. There are refills on side dishes and when we came the other day, they gave our family a plate of fried gyoza.

The prices here are comparable to many other Korean restaurants and they have a lot of variety on the menu. We will definitely continue coming here.“

“So tasty, and the drinks are so good, strong, and delicious. Great staff who are friendly and make you feel at home!“

“Tried the bulgogi today and I enjoyed it very much. It was delicious, just to my taste.
There was a great amount of beef, and the other items such as dumplings and spring rolls and spiced cabbage really added to the meal. It wasn't just a layer of beef over a mound of rice.
The portion was more than enough for one meal as I'm a large guy and I just barely finished it and felt stuffed.
Great meal, and at a reduced price on Wednesdays!

The only downside is that it's a service window (tiny shop) directly onto the sidewalk on a busy, noisy street and this can be a bit unpleasant in bad weather. Service is quick if there's no line, so that helps. If you're looking for a place to sit and eat nearby, you're out of luck. There really isn't any good place available. This isn't the owner's fault in any way. It's just the area.“

“Visited during the recent Koreatown BIA Festival as another one of the promoted stores during the festival. The Manna is a simple takeout spot for Korean street food in the area and also family-operated, offering a number of popular Korean takeout food and Korean side dishes made to order.

Staff were very friendly in helping to guide items that they had available for order, including any specials they had just for the event. Their japchae was one of the specials offered to visitors to the festival where it was quickly prepared and was overall decent. Given reviews recommending their gimbap, it's probably another recommended item to get as well“

“Excellent, well-priced korean grill spot. Great, fantastic nostalgic Korean atmosphere and truly amazing service. Side dishes are all fantastic. The pork that was ordered was a bit tough however and quality was a tad poor. Other than that, truly an amazing spot. Loved the complimentary Korean yogurt at the end, it was a nice touch. Will be coming back surely“

“First came here three years ago, right after we moved to Toronto, and this little Korean spot instantly felt like home. (Disclosure: we’re not Korean—but good East Asian food has a way of bridging that distance.)

Our go-tos are the glass noodles, bibimbap, and fried rice cakes—each one authentic, flavorful, and comforting. The glass noodles are never soggy, always perfectly seasoned; the bibimbap is a wholesome mix of veggies, protein, and multigrain rice that leaves you feeling satisfied, not heavy.

The space is tiny, with only 3–4 seats, so sometimes we dine in if luck’s on our side. Prices are fair (way better than your average food court meal), no tipping required, and the taste keeps us coming back.“

“The service is great! The tea is delicious, and free! I highly recommend the cheese dakgalbi, along with fried rice to mix into the leftover sauce near the end of the meal.“

“Great food and amazing service I visited the square one restaurant in Mississauga and it was love at first sight Highly recommended👍🏼“

“First time here and found a right place for authentic Korean bbq with my favourite kimchi stew so yummy ! Will surely come back again even needed to queue... 😋😋😋“

“Food was awesome, service beyond great. Server came and helped me with the raw marinated crab since I was struggling to de-shell it.

Everything was delicious. Highly recommend the Jjampong stew, seafood pancake, and soy marinated crab.“

“Beef noodle was delicious 👍“

“It was my first time here, and I really liked it. There were delicious things on the menu and the menu was not too big to cause decision fatigue.
I opted for the tteokbokki, as it is one of my favorite Korean dishes. It was the best so far that I have found in Toronto. The spiciness level was perfect for me, the dish was rich with a balanced ingredients, like rice cakes, fish cakes, vegetables and the sauce was really flavorful.
The portion size was also really good. I will definitely come back here to try other dishes.“

“Our 1st family trip to Koreatown and picked this place randomly. Good portion of food in comparison with other Korean restaurants in the suburbs. My daughter loved her pick of kimchi pork rice and I loved bugogi beef riced. My wife liked her pork bone soup.“

“I don’t know what else to say besides everything here is perfect. The service, the servers, the owner, the food, the ambiance, cleanliness. I have been here at least 5-6 times now and everytime I thoroughly enjoy it. Would highly recommend.“

“Best server and friendly accommodation… fast services of the worker.“

“I want to share this spot with anyone in the vicinity, it's hidden within a dark commercial centre nearby Bloor go, and I am enjoying a pork bone soup. The best I've had in 2 years in Toronto. Cannot wait to come back and try the rest of the menu.“

“We were (and still are) inexperienced with Korean cuisine, but this was a superb introduction. Our waitress explained the various dishes and introduced us to bibimbap and japchae. Great dishes, with loads of little extras thrown in. Reasonable prices and great service. Definitely recommended.“

“Outstanding Korean Corn Dogs – A Must-Try!
I had a fantastic experience trying these Korean corn dogs. The staff member preparing them was exceptionally friendly and patient, which added to the overall enjoyment.

They offer a wide variety of delicious toppings and condiments, making it easy to customize your order. I chose the original corn dog with Hot Cheetos and spicy mayo — a perfect combination of crunch, heat, and flavor. One of my daughters also went with the original and absolutely loved it, while my other daughter opted for the takoyaki, which she thoroughly enjoyed.

The quality, flavor, and service were all top-notch. Highly recommend for anyone craving a fun and flavorful street food experience!“

“Come the the character, stay for the food! Tartare nori style with a plate of fries will satisfy your snack cravings. Paired with any of their drinks makes for a pleasant adult combo. For those with a richer palette, their pate will have you feeling more than your worth.“

“음식이 찐입니다 음식 하나하나 정성이 느껴집니다“

“Wow, I just had the most amazing experience at this Korean restaurant recently! Everything I tried was absolutely delicious, and I can't stop thinking about it. The tteokbokki was perfectly cooked with a fantastic sauce. The stir-fried chicken was so flavorful and tender; it was truly a culinary delight. Honestly, the entire meal was a solid 10 out of 10 for me. I am already planning my return visit because I want to try everything on the menu. I highly recommend this place to anyone who appreciates authentic Korean cuisine. If you're looking for a new favorite, this restaurant is definitely worth checking out.“
