50 Best Korean Restaurants near Unionville

“Chicken was very juicy and tasty. They air fry it as soon as you order so it’s hot and fresh and since they use an air fryer instead of deep frying it removes that greasy feeling you get when you eat at other fried chicken spots. Would come back again.“

“A wonderful find in Unionville. The hospitality is top-notch, and the kitchen is impressively clean. Both the Jokbal and Korean fried chicken offer an authentic local taste that really impressed me. Highly recommending this hidden treasure to everyone!“

“Service is amazing. The staff remember my order every time I come in down to the spicy level for each dish and which side dishes I want and don't want. Their signature gamjatang is superb. Sad that the place is take out only but it doesn't keep me from coming back! Love this place!“

“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).“

“Jeon Yu Hyang has become one of our go-to spots for Korean food in Unionville. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and consistent, but the main reason we keep coming back is the customer service😊. The staff are always welcoming, attentive, and genuinely kind, which makes the whole dining experience feel comfortable and enjoyable every time. You can really tell the team cares about both the food quality and the customers, even when the restaurant is busy. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for great Korean food and amazing service.“

“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.“

“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.“

“The dishes were super flavourful and really hit the spot, with a great variety of comforting noodle options to choose from.

Portions were generous, and everything came out fresh despite how busy the place was. Service was impressively fast and efficient, even with a full restaurant, which made the experience even better.“

“I have no words to describe how happy I am with the customer service at this “The Fry” branch!!

Vibes, music, food, and the server were so friendly all the time.

Our boneless Korean Fried Chicken was on point 🤩🤩“

“I had falafel, kotlet, and tongue sandwiches — and gosh, they were the yummiest sandwiches of all time. The falafel was super delicious; I didn’t want to share it with anyone, and I’m happy I didn’t! They put everything in generously.“

“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.“

“Had a good soup lunch here on a cold day. The pork bone soup was good but you got to be ok to dig through the bones for the meat. The beef bulgogi soup was good too if you don’t mind some sweetness to the soup. The portion is generous.“

“We went late last night to take a chance and see how the gluten free options would be as a celiac. We did call ahead and they said we can let our serve know at the time.

Our server brought out the allergen sheet for the sides and the supervisor was very welcoming and informative on what meats were ok to eat without any gluten and cross contamination - they were pretty well informed which is refreshing. Was our first bbq experience after the diagnosis and we were happily pleased!

Can’t wait to be back!“

“Visited today with friends. Everything we ordered was really good — chicken katsu, cheese braised ribs, and tofu kimchi.

The tofu kimchi was my favorite, it was just really tasty.

The side dishes were also good, the place was spacious and clean, and the server was really friendly. I’d come back again 👍“

“As someone who loves the English language and all the words you can use to express feelings, this restaurant reduced me to being someone who can only say “oh my god.” First bite of the tangsuyeok - oh my god. First sip of the hyesik - oh my god. First bite of the jalapeño tuna / creamy crab gimbap.. oh my god! The kimchi, oh my god.

The service was also wonderful, our server was incredibly kind.

I already know I need to come back multiple times to systematically go through the menu. Oh my god!“

“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.“

“Update:

Today I brought friends here expecting a great experience, as this used to be one of my favorite Korean restaurants. Unfortunately, the service was extremely disappointing.

We asked the server for extra side dishes, and he simply brought them over without mentioning that there would be an additional charge. Later, we noticed a $7 charge per side on the receipt, totaling $21. At no point were we informed about the cost or given an option for portion size.

When we raised the issue, the response made things worse. We were told the receipt couldn’t be changed, the manager wasn’t available, and the staff weren’t trained to use the system. That level of unpreparedness is unacceptable.

It’s really disappointing to see a place I used to recommend go downhill like this. Unfortunately, this was my last visit.

————————————
My go-to spot for Chicken Katsu and Short Rib!
The Chicken Katsu is always perfectly crispy, and the sauce is unbelievably good—rich, tangy, and addictive. Paired with the fresh cabbage salad on the side, it hits all the right notes. The short rib is tender and flavorful, and the rice portion is just right—not too much, not too little.“

“Stumbled upon this hidden gem absolutely by random luck. Originally I was looking a that old school burger place near by, and saw this come up as nearby! And I am super happy to find this.

The place is in a warehouse area. Mainly catering take out or probably delivery. Almost wanna call it a hole-in-a-wall place. Rather hard to find. But its worth looking for it!

The fried chicken is Soooooooo juicy! The veggie topic is fresh. The sauce actually goes surprisingly well with the poutine!

So we order 2 sandwiches, a chicken poutine and a medium order of wings . And we totally have food coma half way through! The portion is very genoirous! We still have stuff left for dinner!

Also the staff is super nice and helpful!

Definitely gonna repeat“

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

“Been to Onnuri on multiple occasions and each visit has been great! Service is excellent on most occasions and at times when it’s busy it can be a bit slow.

Korean Fried Chicken is crispy, juicy and made to order! My usual order is their 5pc chicken with a pint of Asahi. Other items from their menu which are just as good is their Soon Tofu and Bibimbap!

Overall, this is one of my favourite Korean spots to dine at and they have all the standard Korean dishes available on their menu as well. The taste is authentic and has a good kick of spice! Location can accommodate larger parties but always good to call ahead!“

“Great good with great value“

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

“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!“

“This restaurant was the first time I have ever tried Korean cuisine. It was absolutely delicious. I had the tteok-bokki and dakgangjeong. They paired perfectly with their banchan. The staff were very kind and attentive. Will definitely go there again!

Thank you for making the experience so awesome“

“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.“

“Good taste with good service.“

“The restaurant offered a great selection of authentic Korean dishes, especially the crispy seafood pancake, flavorful deep-fried pork poulet, and rich pork bone rice. The food was well-prepared, satisfying, and full of taste, making for an enjoyable dining experience. 5 stars😍.“

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

“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.“

“This hotel food quality is very good“

“If you want Korean bone soup, this is the the best place. Had a good lunch here, the staff is very welcoming and was too kind to forgive me (almost brought home their apron🤭)
💕🥰 thank you for the good food.
Worth the heat😊“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Great Korean food variety and friendly service! Food was fresh and good portions. Restaurant is calm comfy vibes and good for small groups. House hot tea served. Banchan/appetizers one refill alllowed. Top picks: Off menu item seafood pancake $45 on the pricier side but one of the best I have ever eaten. Veggie wrap beef and pork combos.“

“Authentic, comforting, and packed with flavor!
If you’re looking for a soul-warming Korean meal, this is the spot. We ordered the Al-tang (Pollock Roe Stew) and the Gamja-tang (Pork Bone Soup), and both were outstanding.
• The Food: The Al-tang was incredibly generous with the roe—perfectly cooked and soaking up that rich, spicy broth. The Pork Bone Soup was equally impressive, with tender meat that fell right off the bone and a deep, savory base.
• The Banchan: A great variety of side dishes (the fish cakes and glass noodles were personal favorites) that tasted fresh and homemade.

Also ordered the fried chicken with rice cake. The sauce is just right!“

“I ordered a Bulgogi here and sushi from the next door and they tasted so good.
The bulgogi was not prepared yet for sale but she quickly made a fresh one for me.
Also she and her husband were so nice even thought tried to order with my broken Korean.
I felt so welcomed and would definitely come back to her 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... 😋😋😋“

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

“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!“

“Korean Grill House is always a fantastic experience! The interior is open, clean, and bright, which makes it really welcoming from the moment you walk in. The service is excellent—there are always plenty of staff around, and they’re quick to offer help and make sure everything runs smoothly.

The food selection is great, with lots of options to choose from, so everyone can find something they love. One of the best updates is the new online ordering system—it’s so convenient to pick exactly what you want without any hassle.

It’s consistently a great place to gather with family and friends. We always leave happy and looking forward to the next visit!“

“The Korean BBQ at this restaurant is absolutely amazing! If you love grilled meat, you should definitely give it a try! The restaurant has many branches, and you can get free refills of the steamed egg, corn, and side dishes in the small bowls (as long as the barbecue you ordered is still being served). The food tastes incredible, and the service is great too—though the tip is a bit on the high side, haha. It would be even better if the prices were a little more wallet-friendly!“

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

“We ordered samgyetang, stir-fried makchang, and sundae.
Everything was beautifully presented with six neat side dishes. The seasoning was light but full of flavor, and everything tasted clean and delicious.

The staff were also very kind and friendly. We really enjoyed our meal!♥️“

“I went here with my bf the food was pretty good and the service was amazing. Especially the girl with the long black hair and she wore a grey right dress. She was so lovely and she’s so pretty as well. Very attentive and sweet. I’m assuming she’s the manager there?“

“Jjampong is the best in Toronto.“
