50 Best Korean Restaurants near Unionville

“Another one of those stay-light-before-the-movie meals, and we decided to check out Kore Chicken nearby. We went for the lunch special and tried Original, Soy Garlic, and Spicy Butter Chicken, with fries tossed in Honey Butter seasoning for one of the sets.
I had no idea what to expect walking in, and was honestly surprised to learn they use air fryers here. Now, taste-wise, let's be real. I’ve had better fried chicken elsewhere and yes, there are spots that push a bit more in quality. But here's the catch: at this price point, it’s rather impossible to complain. Sure, the sauce toss was lazy, and a few bites were a bit on the funky-smelling side, but it all somehow landed within the range of “worth it.”
Fries were a lot crispier than expected, and so was the batter. Air fried or not, the texture really surprised me. It’s weirdly satisfying. Getting into the place was also a bit awkward for a first-timer, but I’ll chalk that up to the building’s layout, not the restaurant’s fault.
Overall, it’s one of those spots that feels like a random find, and turns out a lot better than you gave it credit for at first. No complaints here, and honestly hope they stick around. I wouldn’t mind coming back when craving something easy and affordable that still hits the spot!“

“Absolutely will be coming back and recommending to others looking for family cooked korean food. Ordered the pork bone soup and gimbap. Portions were extemely generous for takeout. The quality and taste was great. Look no futher for a family owned korean business serving delicious food.“

“Dined in on Saturday with my friends (party of 5) for dinner around 7:30pm and there was no waiting.

Ordered K-Army stew ($18.50), Takoyaki -6 pieces ($8.95), Original fried chicken -18 pieces ($36.50) with add on French fries is ($5) & extra sauce ($2). It was freshly made and so hot when we ate it !

Total after tax came to $80.17. Definitely would dine in again and try their Wednesday promotion for their $1/wings!“

“Came in at 5pm with my little one and left with full bellies and big smiles. The LA Kalbi was tender, Soon Tofu Soup hit the comfort spot, and the fried chicken? Crispy perfection. Clean space, cozy vibe, and food came out fast. Price was also reasonable with generous portions — a win all around. Definitely coming back!“

“Have visited this restaurant three times. Once take out and twice dine in. The bim bim bap take out was average. Had the pork bone soup stew for two which was quite good with lots of toppings. The tofu soup with beef was decent and had a good spice level. Good variety of banchan. Service was good. Lots of parking usually.“

“great food and cocktails- love the sangria! cozy ambience!“

“Loved it! Huge portions, fast and friendly service. 100% would recommend!“

“We had a lovely weekend meal at Hong Kong Banjeom with our kids. The jjajangmyeon and jjampong were delicious, and the tangsuyuk was a big hit with the kids! A great place to enjoy authentic Korean-Chinese food as a family. 짬뽕은 완뽕까지 했어요♡“

“Amazing fried chicken! My friends and I loved how crispy the chicken was and the flavors that followed. Make sure to pay attention to what you're ordering and to keep an eye out for the chili logo; the regular fried chicken was spicy, which was a awesome surprise cause I usually ask for spicy. I can't wait to go into the location to eat I bet it's even better right after frying. I will definitely be ordering again in the future.“

“Best Korean restaurant I have ever had. The only place I know that has beef rib stew. Friendly service and even better food. Will be coming here very often.“

“Restaurant Review: A Must-Try for Korean Fried Chicken Lovers

I recently visited this Korean restaurant in Toronto, and it was fantastic! Their fried chicken is hands down some of the best I’ve ever had—crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, with just the right amount of seasoning. The variety of sauces, especially the soy garlic is incredible.

What truly stood out was the warm, welcoming atmosphere. The staff greeted me with big smiles and were super attentive, making me feel right at home. If you’re craving delicious Korean fried chicken and great service, this is the spot to visit!“

“Great Korean food at a convenient location right off Yonge Street. Plenty of parking as well!
We got the rabokki and it was delicious! When ordering, we can choose the spiciness level: no spicy, less spicy, or more spicy. I was confused about how spicy is more spicy so went with the less spicy choice, but if you want the standard spiciness of rabokki in Korea, then go for the more spicy. Absolutely love the side dishes they give too! The kimchi is amazing!!
The restaurant is spacious and clean and the service was great as well!“

“Fried chicken was outstanding

“Great food, service, and atmosphere.“

“I had such a wonderful experience at this restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious — fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was perfect from start to finish. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, perfect for both a casual meal and a special occasion. I’ll definitely be coming back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for great food and excellent service!“

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

“The resto is actually big enough to fit large parties!

Came w/ a large group of friends after a saturday badminton session.

You have to kinda enter from a sketchy back entrance. The server wasn't the friendliest but she was prompt when we needed her which was good.

The portion sizes are nice and big. They have pork bone soup which uses the traditional spine of the pig but they also have pork and pork ribs soup (which they're always sold out of .... sad face). You can get your gamjatang w/ noodles though which is cool.

I liked the flavour of the supreme chicken but it's a shame that the chicken wasn't that crispy. I say this with all honesty. The chicken was slightly overcooked because while the meat wasn't dry, it certainly wasn't juicy either. The taste was on point though.

4 stars overall (5 if the chicken had been crispy).

Will be back for sure because of those huge portions!“

“The food was absolutely delicious with so many fresh options, perfectly seasoned, and cooked just right. The service was excellent—staff were friendly, attentive, and very helpful in explaining everything. The atmosphere was warm, lively, and perfect for enjoying with family and friends. We had a wonderful dining experience and will definitely come back again! Highly recommend this place for anyone who loves authentic Korean BBQ.“

“The food is very delicious, with generous portions and reasonable prices. The waiters are very friendly and the serving speed is fast. The dining environment is comfortable and it's very suitable for having a meal with friends. I will come again in the future!“

“Highly recommended Korean restaurant👍
Comfortable tables and chair, spacious patio area.
Great dining experience overlooking Yonge street, busy but lovely street.
Good food
Good price
Friendly and supportive servers
Should make a Google review with a photo, show the server to get free dumplings/French fries/a pop 👍“

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

“The place is hidden, so it was a bit confusing to find at first. We got the boneless medium yangnyeom and honeyed soy garlic chicken. The chicken was really crispy and fresh, clean meat, good portion for the price. They put the sauce on a separate container, so the chicken stayed crispy when we ate it.

We tried it for the first time with our friends, and the honeyed soy garlic was our favorite. Our friends even said it was probably one of the best korean fried chicken they've had, and the kids loved it too. It will take a bit for the order to be ready, as there is only one person working there. We'll definitely come back!“

“Great good with great value“

“We were strolling around, saw this and decided to give it a try. We have never tried Jokbal before but we are quite adventurous in our taste buds. Oh boy did this surprise us!! We ordered the medium size Jokbal with Jellyfish Salad and we (2 men) were well-fed!

The taste surprises us in a good way and we liked the sweet, spicy, savoury, refreshing and crunchiness all together. We will definitely try Jokbal again!!“

“I will recommend this restaurant to my friends, first it’s actually ran by Korean people ❤️, second they are truly attentive (the girl notice we were putting the empty side dishes away and she came right up to check if we wanted more. We felt very comfortable eating there), third their food is good, and serving time is also very good . We waited for about 5 minutes after our order, our food was brought to us one after one.

The only thing I noticed is it’s a bit dark in it. And it could be my aged eyes 👀 as well.

In short, a very nice place for Korean food. Recommend!“

“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!“

“Nice spot to grab some pork bone soup or other Korean dishes. The food all came out fairly quickly the the side dishes were very tasty especially the corn.

Felt that the pork bone soup was just good but not the best I've had. Portions were also on the larger side. Would be back if I am craving Korean and in the area.“

“TLDR: Looked for a semi-healthy yet affordable food option for takeout so we could pair it with somaek 🤣

-[KIMCHI TUNA GIMBAP] $12.99
🐟 has kimchi, tuna, perilla leaf, mayo, burdock, carrot, egg, and pickled radish
🌶 truthfully, I really like kimchi so I would have wanted more kimchi to give this gimbap more of a spicy flavor but look at that filling to rice ratio ✨️

-[JALAPENO CRAB MEAT TUNA GIMBAP] $13.99
🦀 has crab meat, tuna, jalapeno, rice, carrot, cucumber, and egg
🌶 not really spicy but you can taste the jalapeno flavor regardless so it was enjoyable

-[CHICKEN TANGSUYUK] $18.99
🍗 sweet and sour Korean fried chicken
🍗 I personally liked that the sauce was separated from the fried chicken because it helped to keep the chicken crispier for longer
🍗 also idk how they fried this but it didn't cause me to have a sore throat afterwards 🤯 aka wow

-[MINI CHEESE KIMCHI JEON] $5.99
🌶 not that much kimchi flavor again 🥲 but still good to snack on
🌶 would have wanted more cheese flavor too but the mild cheese likely paired better with the subtle kimchi flavor of this one

📝 They have party trays that would be great to bring to gatherings/parties“

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

“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... 😋😋😋“

“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.“

“This hotel food quality is very good“

“Famous charcoal outdoor Korean bbq. Best Korean frozen Soju place in the city.“

“They close at 3am, so it’s a nice place to get food after a late shift. Many delicious side dishes, and a variety of dishes to choose from. Their beef bulgogi, fried chicken, gimmari, fried tofu, gamjatang pork bone soup, bibimbap and much more are delicious!

edit: service is also very friendly and welcoming! and food delicious! They also have very affordable lunch specials
with great value“

“Good taste with good service.“

“This place looks and feels different compared to other Korean restaurants, the decor and walls are uniquely designed and the food selections is plenty. There is lots of sauce on the dishes we ordered and everything looked appealing. Would recommend to try out this place.“

“One of my favourite korean fried chicken places! My fav favours are honey avocado and spicy creamy garlic. I love how fresh, juicy and flavourful they are.

I love the cash discount! I dislike how theres limited seats for dine in so its mainly takeout only.“

“everytime I come here, everything tastes so good. Lots of value over here, lots of food for very cheap prices compared to other asian restaurants in the area. The spicy pork belly, pork bone soup, short ribs were amazing 10/10. everything comes in generous portions including the sides. 100% recommend this place for take out for a chill night at home“

“Food was so delicious, large portions, and affordable price! Fav was the chicken and rose tteokbokki. A small but cozy spot. Service was really good, they were so nice. You also get a discount if you pay cash. Now one of my fav places, will def go back! Perfect for your cravings.“

“Friendly traditional Korean restaurant. Long queue during dinner time but worth the wait.“

“Food tastes fantastic. We love ordering the seafood pancake! The food is also great for sharing. Serving size is more than enough for two hungry people. The servers were also very attentive to our needs. Serving time was quick too! Definitely going back.“

“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“

“Great good with great value“

“Took 20 minutes from time we put in our order to when we got our food and we were the only table when we came in.

The chicken was delicious, crispy but juicy on the inside.

There are maybe a total of 7 tables in the restaurant so it is not good for big groups.

I found the restaurant to be stuffy and there were a lot of flies.. was not impressed.

Unsure if I would come again but I would be open to doing take out.“

“What an amazing restaurant! The food was delicious and the service was great! I recommend it! Gotta try it 👍🏽😋😛🤪“

“Jjampong is the best in Toronto.“

“This hotel food quality is very good“

“Anju is a great spot if you’re looking for flavorful Korean food. The atmosphere feels modern and upbeat, making it a great spot to go with friends or for a casual night out. The menu has a lot of exciting options, but the marinated raw shrimp and crab really stand out. The marinated raw shrimp is tender and fresh, with just the right amount of seasoning to bring out its natural sweetness. It has a nice balance of flavor—savory, slightly spicy, and refreshing all at once. The marinated raw crab is just as delicious, with a rich taste that pairs perfectly with the sauces and sides. Both dishes feel special because they’re not something you find everywhere, and they’re prepared with a lot of care. 🦐🦀

What I enjoy most about Anju is how these dishes give you a unique food experience while still feeling approachable. The flavors are strong but not overwhelming, and they leave you wanting to try more from the menu. The service is friendly, and the overall vibe of the restaurant makes the meal even more enjoyable.

Overall, Anju is a place where you can enjoy fresh, flavorful dishes in a fun setting, and the marinated raw shrimp and crab are definitely the highlights worth coming back for.“

“Lovely restaurant that we stumbled upon a few weeks ago. We've been here twice so far and each time had a great experience. Special shoutout to the pork bone soup which my husband could not stop raving about. The waitress was so kind to our family, going above and beyond the definition of great customer service. Will definitely become a regular going forward.“

“Authentic & Flavorful – Best Beef Bibimbap in Toronto!

I’ve been to this Korean restaurant a few times, and it never disappoints. Their raw beef bibimbap (Yukhoe Bibimbap) is hands down one of the best in the city. The fresh, high-quality beef, perfectly seasoned and served over warm rice in a sizzling stone bowl, creates an incredible contrast of textures and flavors. Every bite delivers a perfect balance of umami, heat, and richness.

What really makes this place stand out, beyond the delicious food, is the warm and welcoming service. On my latest visit, they even made a special congee just for my toddler, such a thoughtful and kind gesture that truly shows how much they care about their customers. Highly recommended!“
