50 Best Korean Restaurants near Unionville

“Small, unassuming Korean fried chicken joint on the exterior of the main plaza. They sell boneless fried chicken which is air fried. We tried the soy garlic; the chicken was juicy (all chicken thighs) and the sauce was perfect. The owner is also very friendly. There's limited seating so takeout is also a good option. Would definitely recommend stopping by if you're in the area!“

“Solid spot for Korean fried chicken on Main Street Unionville! What we really liked about it is the chicken came out nice and crispy. We ordered the boneless half and half fried chicken - half in the soy garlic sauce and half hot and sweet. The flavours were pretty good and the pieces of chicken were quite big! We added fries to our order and ended up with a lot of leftovers after (we're two people).

People working here are very nice. Would be really cool if they could show sports on the tv but that's a bit of a selfish request 😂

“1st time here and it's nice to see a Korean Restaurant is here in the Langham Plaza mainly dominated by Chinese restaurants. It's nice to switch it up to try Korean Food.

I ordered the pork bone soup. Good broth, not too spicy but just right. Nice & pipping hot. Good amount of pork bone, falls off the bone. A piece of potato and lots of nappa (kimchi) which is great.

The brown rice was steamy and the side dishes included glass noodles, radish and kimchi. I feel like they are understaffed, only 2 servers that need to collecting money, handle take out orders and in-person dining, so please be patient.

The server asked me if I want any more re-fill on side dishes, I responded by getting more kimchi, that was a nice touch.

Price at $14.99 CDN + tax for pork bone soup is a good price as many others priced it at $16.99 or more.

I would definitely come back to try the ginseng chicken and sizzling plate of meat. (NOTE: I did check out the menu, seems like many of their Korean BBQ meat are spicy option and not much mild, maybe it's their own culinary style but wish they have non-spicy option coz my family don't eat that much spicy).“

“First time here today and will be back. Had the Gamjatang which not only tasted great, but is excellent value particularly during lunchtime. Lots of side dishes that were very good. I can't really think of a more complete meal you can get for this price anywhere else.“

“I honestly don't understand how this place is only a 4.1. In my opinion, this is the best Korean food you'll find outside of Korea. Every meal I've had here has been absolutely delicious.
I've been here several times with my girlfriend, and we've also ordered takeout. The staff are incredibly kind and welcoming every time we visit. The portions are generous, the food is always fresh, and everything we've tried has been outstanding.
I absolutely love the bulgogi soup, and my girlfriend always gets the bone soup. We've tried a variety of dishes over multiple visits, and every single one has been a 10/10.
If you're looking for authentic, delicious Korean food in the Markham/Unionville area, I can't recommend this place enough. It's one of those restaurants you'll keep coming back to.“

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

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

“Great food, service, and atmosphere.“

“I didnt think I would be, but i was impressed with this fried chicken spot. Really tasty crispy fried chicken. We got the soy garlic flavour - so good. We also got the rose tteokbokki and omg the rice cake was so soft and chewy and had an amazing slightly spicy kick to it. Super yummy.“

“Mom’s Bite serves an amazing burger—the patty was big, juicy, and full of flavor. The fries were extra crispy and perfectly cooked, making the meal even better. Great food, generous portions, and I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Honestly wasn’t expecting much when coming in. They seated us in the section that had majority tablets; Genius idea. The service was fast and efficient. Everything you need is right there at the table or can be answered by the tablet. The table has compartments where you can find utensils, napkins, etc. The food was reasonably priced, generous portions, and tasted good. If there’s anything you need you can look to the tablet to help you. There’s an option to call a server and has options for your inquiry.

TLDR; Pros: fast&efficient, food good&cheap Cons: impersonal/detached style of dinning exp

Overall would recommend; I believe in this place.“

“It may be one of the hottest days of the year but, we came in craving some comfort food and this perfectly hit that itch. The chicken was extremely juicey, the skin crisp, meat tender and quite flavorful, also I was impressed by the size of each peice and how they butchered it. We were given a small platter of buttered corn on the house and it was a nice starter to preset the meal. The music hits the vibe of a relaxing casual eatery and the combos are worth the money. Next time I would order the combo with a larger group to finish it we went for combo 2 and got the galbi and soy garlic chicken. The galbi was my favorite my partner preferred the soy garlic, the tteokbokki was a little smokey, little spicey, and was loaded with meat it was worth it. I will come back and this will be a another great night spot after some drinks and karaoke.“

“Nak Won has been a longstanding restaurant in the Richmond Hill area, conveniently located near Hillcrest Mall. I've been coming here more frequently lately because it's quickly become one of my go-to spots. Over the past few months, I've visited at least five times.

The service has consistently been friendly and efficient. The staff are also incredibly thoughtful (they've even offered to take family photos for us after noticing we were trying to squeeze everyone into a selfie). I also appreciate their online ordering system, which makes dining much more convenient. You can easily request small things like napkins or water/tea without having to flag someone down.

Every dish I've tried so far has been delicious, and I'd happily order any of them again. The portions are also quite generous, making most dishes perfect for sharing.

Some of my favourites include:
* Gamjatang (Pork Bone Soup)
* Gamjatang Ramyun
* RC8 Cheese Katsu Dolsot
* KD6 HaeMul Pajeon (Seafood Pancake)
* KD12 Rabokki
* KD13 Bulgogi Tteokbokki
* Rose Jjampong (both the beef and seafood versions are fantastic!)
* AP10 LA Kalbi (delicious, though the portion is on the smaller side)

And finally, I love that they serve purple rice; it's a small touch that makes the meal feel even more special! I highly recommend.“

“Hidden behind the plaza is this hidden gem, we were warmly welcome with exceptional customer service. Its a family owned business, the food looked delicious, the mandu and kalguksu were delicious and I recommend coming here. The owner is so nice and caring, the food has very generous portions. Give the place a try you wont regret it!!!“

“While we were in the area having dinner, we decided to pick up something for lunch the following day and ended up deciding on gimbap. After trying the food, we instantly had regrets that we didn't come here for dinner the night before! Really fresh and well made, at a price point that's very reasonable for the portion sizing. We'll definitely be back for a sit-down meal soon, and have added this restaurant to the list of places we'd pick up a tray from for parties.“

“This place is a real gem. It feels like it’s run by a husband-and-wife team, and you can tell there’s a lot of care put into everything. The overall experience is always satisfying, and the jokbal is genuinely really good—tender, flavorful, and consistently well-prepared.

The only minor downside is that parking can be a bit inconvenient, depending on the time you go. But honestly, it’s still worth it, and I find myself coming back often.

If you’re craving solid jokbal with a warm, local vibe, this spot is an easy recommendation.“

“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.“

“is amazing, and the side dishes are fresh. My favorites were the chicken katsu, beef short ribs, sizzling corn cheese, and pork bone soup! The atmosphere and interior perfectly capture the vibe of Korea, and the servers are really sweet!

I’ll definitely visit again!“

“First time ordering from The Fry on Uber, love it! First of all, the package is really lovely (feels like a gift given by a friend), and the fried chicken is soooooo gooooood✨🤤 Very tasty, and great amount for a friendly price~~~ Thank youuuu✨“

“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.“

“Great good with great value“

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

“Came here and ordered the gamja tang because everyone was raving about it and they weren't wrong. Probably ranked in the top 3 gamja tang i've have. The meat literally falls off the bones. The bones also break apart fairly easily which not alot of places cook it to that point. The broth wasnt that spicy. The banchan were really good too. I noticed that because I went myself, i didnt get all the varieties compared to bigger groups but thats okay.

Ive read people complain about the servers but I can only speak to my experience. When I was there, all the servers were really nice and tentative. They even came by a few times to check on me and asked if I wanted refills of the banchan. I have no complaints and had a wonderful experience. This place doesnt do cash discounts so I paid with card. My meal came out to be about $23 and this was with tax and 15% included. Id definitely come back and try the other items on the menu.“

“Good taste with good service.“

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

“Their meat selections are excellent (boneless shortrib and pork belly). Unlimited side dishes and soup included with the bbq at table. Servers have a fast rotation to serve our needs. Pricing is quite reasonable. Our kid didnt have to order himself. We will be back!“

“I've been to this restaurant several times. It is basically furnished but you don't come here for the atmosphere. The main thing that stood out to me for this restaurant was the service and the friendliness and attentiveness of the server which never failed us!“

“Family style Korean vibe and service is attentive. We wanted Korean cold noodles and it was exactly what we got. Tasty and so refreshing. Tried the Korean fried chicken with supreme sauce. Tender and juicy chicken that will satisfy your crispy fried chicken cravings. Bring and pay in cash for 5% discount.“

“The first time I tried this authentic Korean restaurant in GTA, and it was great. The mapo style beef was especially good, really spicy but absolutely delicious. The spicy fried chicken is a must order dish. I also loved their kimchi so much. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout my visit.“

“💁🏻‍♂️Start off with Bibimbap, assorted Veg and Beef Rice Bowl🥗, MASSIVE Kimchi Mandu🥟, a comforting bowl of Samgyetang with a whole Cornish Hen stuffed with Sticky Rice in a nourishing Ginseng Broth😮‍💨, and Jae Yook Bok Keum is a Sweet & Spicy Stir-fried Pork served on a hot plate🍖Enjoy 10% off per Desserts/Coffee from Cafe Kray, just steps away from KoSam👣We wrapped up our adventure with Mango Bingsu (BOMB🥭), Iced Dalgona Latte and Iced Matcha Strawberry🍵“

“Cute Korean restaurant about 3-5 min walk from Finch Subway station. Tip: exit through the passenger pickup area of Finch station if you're walking, that's the closest exit to the restaurant. I came here specifically to try their Ganjang Gejang (raw blue crab marinated in soy sauce), it seems that they might be the only restaurant that serves this dish in Toronto, that I could find and know of. There is a very slight fishy smell when I sniffed it, which is expected since it's raw crab, but when I was eating it, I didn't find it fishy at all, it was really delicious. The crab roe was soft and rich, the meat was smooth and fresh, everything went really well with the rice. I can see why this dish is called a rice thief now. I was really tempted to order another bowl of rice but on account of my diet I stopped myself. I would definitely try this dish again. I also ordered the kimchi stew and my friend got a spicy beef soup. Although it was not as outstanding as the Ganjang Gejang, Both were delicious and portions were good. The side dishes were good as well. Not sure if there's free refills or not since we didn't ask for any. The service was good, it's a smaller shop, seems like it's family owned. People were doing multi jobs so if you wanted more tea or something you have to ask them, they do really try to check up you though and would walk around once in awhile to refill your tea and see how you're doing. Overall a good dining experience, I would come back to try their raw crab. However if I was just going out for Korean food then I may not specifically go out of my way to come here since although the other dishes were good, it's not super outstanding. Aside from indoor dining they also have outdoor dining, there's a big white tent outside, they provides pretty good shelter, there's also hanging lights out there, really cute set up. We dined inside though since it was windy.“

“This hotel food quality is very good“

“Truly deserving greater accolades! The kind lady cooks really delicious home-made Korean food. They taste even better than those in sit-in restaurants! These are pictures of the lunch boxes, which have been my absolute favourite. They are of excellent quality every time (see pictures), and the beef lunch box in particular has been my favourite.“

“Great food, I've tried almost everything and I can confidently say that all of them are delicious. I am also a spicy food lover, I go for the level 2 spice, 3 is my max and 4 is impossible 😅 so really great stuff. 👍“

“Tried the Supreme Chicken and Rose Tteokbokki at The Fry and everything was sooo good. The chicken was crispy and super flavourful, and the rose tteokbokki was actually amazing. Also wanna say the girl serving us was super nice and friendly which made the experience even better. Definitely coming back!“

“The price was pretty reasonable they automatically did gratuity here, I ordered all the beef honestly I could’ve ate more didn’t want to overeat, the flavour of the beef was delicious.

The meat was so tasty, service was excellent, the meat was really tasty one of the best Korean bbq I ever tasted,

I can come back here“

“This is one of our favourite place. We come here almost every week. The restaurant is clean and the food is delicious especially the corn cheese! Side dishes are very yummy! And they switch them by season!

The service is the best! Soyun is super nice and very warm! She is very detail oriented and the best part of her is she remembers what we always order! We feel so warm and welcome at this place. She is above and beyond what she is doing!

We highly recommend this place!“

“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“

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

“This is hands down the best authentic Korean whole chicken soup I’ve had. The flavors were rich, comforting, and tasted truly traditional. The gentleman who served us was extremely friendly and polite, providing genuinely great service that made the whole experience even better. Highly recommend 👍“

“My girlfriend and I had decided to try this Korean-Japanese restaurant nearby. We received excellent customer service, and the food was great as well. James was such a very friendly, polite, and professional employee. I felt like I was treated well—one of the best customer services I have experienced. I would highly recommend this restaurant.“

“Great good with great value“

“Best Korean food on the east end, maybe in Toronto. Home cooked incredible food. Price-wise, the portions offer amazing value with big portions and a clear use of fresh, high-quality ingredients. Take out is also just as yummy and they prepare the soup and side dishes so they arrive home perfectly.“

“love this place. it is authentic Korean food. it is my 4th time in two months 🥰“

“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... 😋😋😋“

“Absolutely delicious! The Budaejjigae was so flavorful, rich, and comforting. The broth had the perfect balance of spice, and all the ingredients were fresh. Every bite was amazing. One of the best Budaejjigae I’ve had — I will definitely be coming back. Highly recommended!“

“Such a wonderful place to eat. Self cooking Korean restaurant with amazing tasting food for $20 for our chicken dish. Unlimited soup and sides and very fresh chicken. Would highly recommend. Service was very good and I felt that I was looked after. Thanks Daldongnae!“

“If you’ve seen all the other reviews then this one is no different
You come for the crab and you stay for the crab
Well marinated decently sized portion at fair cost
The sides are all done well
Kimchi feels like it’s made in house . Flavour not overpowering“

“If you're looking for a taste of the sea in a comforting Korean stew, the haemul doenjangchigae (seafood on soybean paste stew) at De Chou in Scarborough is highly recommended. This isn't your average stew. The rich, savory doenjang broth is deeply flavorful and packed with umami. What truly sets it apart is the generous bounty of fresh seafood swimming in every spoonful. Unlike some places that are shy with the proteins, De Chou loads theirs up—you can expect octopus bits and other fresh seafood that make every bite a delight. The depth of flavor in the broth, combined with the natural taste of the vegetables, creates a perfect harmony that is both hearty and deeply satisfying.

But the real showstopper is the naengmyun—a perfectly balanced, tangy-sweet broth that's served cold—it's incredibly refreshing and cleansing, especially after a rich meal or on a hot summer day. It's bold, vibrant, and utterly addictive.“
