50 Best Korean Restaurants in Toronto

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

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

“Had a great lunch here. The katsu is just what you’d expect out of a good katsu: juicy tender meat, great sauce, extra crispy on the outside. The price seems high ($30 for katsu + pop) but you get a lot of food. I got the chicken brown katsu and it came with three large chicken cutlets, corn, rice and salad. If you’re craving katsu this will perfectly satisfy you!“

“i was kind of taken aback by the prices. portions aren’t tHAT big and even though the chicken was very hot, juicy, delicious, and freshly fried, i don’t think i can justify paying tHAT much for fried chicken. nevertheless , i still think it was good chicken. the supreme sauce had a surprising tangy, sour lemon sweetness to it, and there’s a bit of a spicy fEELING (although it doesn’t taste spicy). or maybe it was just because it was served so hot. we also got a bunch of complimentary stuff, like corn cheese and the side dishes.“

“Definitely will go back kind of place. Reasonably priced for the amount of food and location.
One of the best miso soup l have ever had.
Spicy chicken bibimbap can make you addicted.
Staff were very nice and friendly.“

“My first time here!
The staff was really nice and polite.
I ordered kimchi stew with pork and it was good (needed a little more salt to my taste though) and the stir-fried noodles with rice cake, fish cake and bulgogi beef was my favorite (but I wish I ordered the spicy version!)

All in good, I left with a full tummy and felt happy! x)“

“맛있다 , 다음 번에 다시 돌아 볼 수 있습니다.“

“good food. interesting western and Korean fusion“

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

“I have to say it is very yum food. Absolutely loved the food. bulgogi beef and bbq eel, was absolutely tasty! There was one person working a very humble and kind worker! Thank you!

The only - which I personally would ask the owner to work for is range hood. Coz it smells very very smoky there bcs of the food and you get soak all the smell from the kitchen. Otherwise can’t wait to get back for another portion of bimbap👻😍✨“

“I got the KBBQ Gimbap while my mom got the Vegan Gimbap. It was made to order with fresh ingredients and great flavors. We've had gimbap in the past but none were as delicious as these. They gave free buckwheat tea which was perfect since it was a little cold on the day we went. No nuts are present in the kitchen, no dairy, with gluten free and vegan options. One of the most allergen friendly places we've been to and left satisfied.“

“super testy chicken fried 😍😋“

“Conveniently located in Toronto Chinatown, across the street from Art Gallery of Ontario, short walking distance to Ontario College of Art & Design University, Kachi is my all time favorite Korean restaurant.

My first time trying their AYCE lunch, I am able to find many vegetable dishes. It is good value for money, especially attracting students and budget travellers, who want to have a tasting sample of Korean cuisine.“

“Stopped in for breakfast on Sunday morning since I was in town visiting from out east and had heard good things about this spot near Yonge Street. The garlic butter toast with the runny egg on top was seriously one of the best breakfasts I have had in a while, worth the short wait. Staff were friendly and quick to explain the menu since it was my first time and I had no idea what to order. Cozy little atmosphere with a real coffeehouse feel, definitely putting this on my list for next time I am back in Toronto.“

“grest seafood pancake large enough to share for 2 enjoyed the bibimbap hot stonr pot and the ja jeung mein wastasty and filling.“

“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.“

“Really enjoyed the food here! The fried chicken was crispy, juicy, and came out hot and fresh. The portion was also really good and everything tasted great.

Ruby was amazing and made our experience even better. She was super friendly, attentive, and checked on us to make sure everything was good. Really appreciated her service!

Would definitely come back again :)“

“Yupdduk offers a delightful take on Korean cuisine, especially known for its signature tteokbokki, which balances spicy, sweet, and savory flavors perfectly. The rice cakes are consistently chewy and complemented by rich sauces, while popular dishes like cheese-topped options and spicy chicken add variety to the menu. With generous portions and bold flavors, it’s a go-to for comfort food lovers. Despite occasional service delays during busy hours, the cozy atmosphere“

“Fantastic hidden gem! The food is delicious, service is very friendly and attentive, art is unique, and overall vibes are great. I held my birthday at Tiger Den and we had a wonderful time! I have recommended the place to several friends - we love the happy hour deals too!“

“Visited here back in August for a short trip. I was strolling around Bloor St area looking for a Korean restaurant or market. I found the Manna randomly on the street. It was small hole in the wall kind of a place. It's a small restaurant with few seating spaces.

I met the owner and her mom that day. Told her I flew from Vancouver to Toronto. She said all the food is house made even Soondae (Korean blood sausages). It's rare to find a restaurant that makes homemade Soondae in Canada. I'm used to frozen ones which taste okay. The owner gave me a piece to sample Soondae it was tasty.

I bought Soondae ($15) with some lotus root for dinner. The portion was pretty good for Soondae and ate it for 2 meals. Lotus root tasted pretty good too. I'll revisit this place next time I'm in Toronto.“

“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.“

“Fun atmosphere and our server was great. Quick service and friendly. Not sure how prices compare to other places in Toronto, but it seemed on par with similar places in Chicago. Only negative part of the night was the extremely loud and chaotic table sitting directly behind us.“

“Can easily make their bibimbap and kimbap vegan! The japchae is vegan too. Delicious food and super lovely staff! Separately have to shout out the $9 kimbap - nice option on-the-go or if you need a good filling snack. (Some pieces in the photo have more pieces under them)“

“I ate at many korean restaurants and I can say that the food is delicious. I had their army stew which had so much flavours and toppings. I enjoyed every last bit. Plus there was a 10% discount if you pay in cash. Highly recommend. I only wish they can add maybe one more side dish“

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

“I love the feeling of this place! Calm, low light, good for a group of friends and a first date.

The Truffle Funghi and the KFC Soy Garlic are both great options!

The service here is quick, keep in mind no splitting bills on groups larger than 6

Happy Eating🤝“

“Easily one of our favorite spots for Korean food. The portions are generous, the side dishes are delicious, and the staff is so welcoming and attentive. If you are looking for authentic and comforting Korean cuisine, this place never disappoints“

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

“Lots of great lunch special deals for only $15! Just note that you need to pay with cash or debit. We tried them for a quick lunch during the week. Service was solid - the lady working here was very nice and was working the front by herself.

My friends ordered the spicy pork and the spicy chicken dishes. Both came with a soup on the side. They preferred the pork over the chicken. I got the pork bone soup and found it interesting. It doesn't taste like your traditional pork bone soup and I can't put my finger on what the difference is. Not necessarily a bad thing but if you're a traditionalist you may not be happy with that surprise. The meat portion on the dish was kind of light, but it really falls off the bone well.

Atmosphere feels a bit more like a bar than a restaurant. Would imagine it would be fun drinking here!“

“An excellent hole-in-the-wall takeout place with huge portions at a great price point. You get quite a few side dishes with each meal, and the balance of meat to veggies is perfect. One thing to note is that they don't accept cards, so be sure to bring cash.“

“I had the best Kimchi here. The soju was awesome here as well.“

“Really a nice place to have Korean grill. We enjoyed the food a lot. Meats are delicious, seafood ok, not many side dishes but all taste good. Lack one ingredient is the chillies for wrapping with the lettuce. Guess no one order rice but I did and really very dry like leftover 😅 overall I will recommend this place and will definitely going back again“

“Thought I’d tried this takeout place as I was on my home from work and was really glad I did!! First of all, Mama Lee is SO sweet and her food was delicious. I ordered the chicken katsu, jajangmyeon and soon tofu. The portions were huge and for the price, a very great deal. Tasted like authentic Korean made with love. Will keep ordering for lunch/dinner whenever I get the chance!“

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

“Had a good time here, passed by with my friend on our way to Bruno Mars concert. Saw pictures of Rosie and Bruno in the restaurant and tried soju for the first time here. Friendly and nice service, clean , washroom was also nice. Nothing to complain about.“

“음식이 찐입니다 음식 하나하나 정성이 느껴집니다“

“Beef noodle was delicious 👍“

“I come here almost every week because of how delicious the food is, the incredible value for money, and they absolutely lovely people that work here. They also have a good variety of healthy meal options that are also tasty. Truly a rare gem hidden just out of plain sight.

There's a wide assortment of options, including a number of traditional Korean dishes that are becoming harder and harder to find in the city.

My go-to order is the galbi (short rib) meal, bulgogi meal, and jajangmyeon (noodles with black bean sauce) (not in the attached images).

The meals come with banchan, typically pickled radish, kimchi, tofu with mild chili sauce, bean sprouts, and Korean macaroni salad. It also comes with a rice.

The seasoning and cook of the meats they serve is genuinely addictive. There's a smokiness that I love that I haven't experienced at any other restaurant.

The jajangmyeon they make reminds me of the first time I ate it and fell in love with the dish, but could never find that same quality until I went to Mister Yummy.

The prices are extremely reasonable given the current state of things, and the value for money is absolutely there. A filling meal for 2 is about $45, which would easily be $75 elsewhere.

Lastly, the people who run this place are amongst the kindest people I've ever met, and are absolutely deserving of your patronage.“

“the 호떡 with brown sugar is very good. ❤❤❤“

“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... 😋😋😋“

“This is my go to restaurant when I am craving for authentic korean food. Reasonable price and the portion is good size. Some korean restaurant's pork bone soup is filled of just bone, this one actually offer quite a bit of meat with it. The seafood pancake is a must order.“

“Hard not to love their kimchi pancake 🤤 so crispy outside when freshly served, thick and big portion so pretty fulfilling! D8 cold noodles (mulnaengmyeon - seasonal only) and S19 goat stew (yeomso tang) are some of our favs too. Overall, a real bargain, would recommend!“

“Fun friendly atmosphere ideal for larger friend groups. I’ve ordered takeout (yangnyeom fried chicken) from this spot on multiple occasions and it never disappoints. The flavours seriously hit too good and the cook is perfect. The portions are so big and perfect for sharing as well! Will definitely be coming back.“

“My Korean friend recommended this place when I asked where I could try authentic Korean food in Toronto — and it did not disappoint! Everything was so delicious and the whole experience was amazing.

Special thanks to Jiyoung! She was super friendly, sweet, and unbelievably fast. I was honestly wondering where she gets all that energy from 😂

Great food, great service, and definitely a place I’d come back to!“

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

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

“Naomi’s is one of Liberty Village’s hidden gems. This family-owned mom-and-pop shop serves what is honestly one of the best clubhouse sandwiches in Toronto—fresh, generous, and consistently delicious every time.

What makes Naomi’s truly special, though, is the atmosphere. The owners are incredibly warm, welcoming, and genuinely care about their customers. It’s the kind of place where you’re greeted with a smile and made to feel like a regular, even on your first visit.

If you’re looking for a great sandwich and a local business that puts heart into everything they do, Naomi’s is absolutely worth a visit. A true neighborhood favorite.“

“Every.Single.Thing I ate here was an absolute banger... Forgive me for not knowing the proper names, as I wasn't in charge of ordering, but... that chicken dish (with almost jerk-style seasoning) was mind-blowingly delicious, as were the seafood pancakes, which are the absolute best I've had anywhere in Southern Ontario, frankly. The beef ribs, the fish dish with rice and seaweed, the cold noodles (with heavy sesame flavour), etc.,etc. My gosh, I genuinely cannot recall the last time I was so wowed by a meal, and I eat out quite a bit. All of the alcohols we had were incredible as well as unique- really refreshing overall. The vibe was great, and the staff truly fantastic- owner is such a rad dude. Absolutely, most definitely, revisiting this gem of a spot. Korean is probably my favourite Asian cuisine, I've been to many K-spots around the city/GTA, and I seriously think this might be my new favourite. Thoroughly impressed and very highly recommended!“

“Amazing vibes and Korean fusion.“

“A small mom-and-pop shop that delivers! I stumbled on this place after my usual spot next door was too busy. I ordered the beef bibimbap, and I must say that it was massive. It was a much needed meal for me. Always love a good bibimbap, and cheaper than other places in the area. Definitely coming back“
