50 Best Korean Restaurants near Vaughan

“Great food, service, and atmosphere.“

“Food is AMAZING!!!“

“I just had the best lunch at Jinmee in the Galleria food court! Their Pork Bone Soup (Gamja Tang) is seriously amazing—it came out in a sizzling hot pot, and it hit the spot. I have to give a special shoutout to the radish in sweet and sour juice! I've never been served anything like it with Korean food before, and it was so good I asked for more. The lady at the counter was super nice and hooked me up with another full serving for free. I'll definitely be back for more!“

“The food is really good and the customer service is amazing ! We usually go every 3 weeks .“

“I visit here regularly and always enjoy their affordable, authentic Korean Chinese food. Recently, I tried the No. 5 Veggie and Seafood Black Bean Sauce Noodles, and I was thoroughly impressed. The flavors were fantastic.
The cashier is always friendly and adds to the pleasant experience. Highly recommend!“

“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!“

“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 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“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 👍“

“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 very much enjoyed the flavour of every dish I've ordered here.

Friendly service. I wish they'd be around to refill drinks mid often, though it's easy enough to ask too.

Cozy spot, has a few small tables and one big table. Kpop usually plays in the background. A blowfly was annoying last visit. Sometimes they use an electric flyswatter, or the door is open so the fly leaves, but it's getting cold and the door is closed.“

“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!“

“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... 😋😋😋“

“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.“

“I cant peak enough about the food at this place. it's by far the best value for your money. Not only is the food delicious but the portions are very reasonable for the $ they ask. I highly recommend the chicken sandwich.. you'll never go anywhere else for chicken again. Their Kim Bap is really good option. Very fresh and very healthy, my wife lives off them!!“

“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.“

“I have been coming here for 5 years throughout my time at York and they are constantly one of my favorite place to eat on campus, they are actually rather affordable, the food is delicious and the staff always so pleasant! I’m really going to miss coming here ❤️“

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

“Great good with great value“

“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.“

“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!“

“Friendly service and good food! We often go with their Combo A which comes with Jjajangmyeon (black bean noodle), Jjampong (spicy seafood noodle soup) and Tangsuyuk (deep fried pork with sweet and sour sauce) which is perfect for 2-3 people.“

“Must-try:
Soy sauce crab – flavorful and unique! I just wish they served seaweed to enjoy it properly. The marinade slightly changes the crab’s texture in an interesting way.

Also good:
Stir-fried squid – tasty, with perfectly crunchy veggies.

Warm option:
Gamja Tang – hearty and comforting, but a touch salty toward the end.“

“I received stone rice cake (3 types) from a friend today. I found out why I asked what time the pickup would be when I placed my order. The rice cake was warm and delicious, as if it had been made and delivered on time. They beautifully engraved the words 'First Birthday' on the rice cake cake for free, and there were plenty of songpyeon and sorghum red bean rice cakes. I was moved. thank you The price was also better than other places. I highly recommend it?“

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

“A must try for any fried chicken lover!! ????????Korean fried chicken we can’t stop eating. About 30$ for two people to stuff themselves with perfectly crisp chicken, smothered in an amazing sauce if you choose and several flavors. Friendly caring service. Don’t miss it in the food court just down a corridor a few feet off main food court. Hidden gem we always return to.“

“My friend is a big fan of Apkujung Restaurant and I finally had the chance to stop by on his recommendation! If you're looking for an authentic Korean meal that feels home-cooked, this is a great spot to check out.

Located on Yonge Street just south of Steeles, there is plenty of parking available at Centerpoint Mall and then you just have to cross the street.

What we got:
- Ginseng Chicken Soup with Noodles and Congee
- Galbi Jjim (Korean Braised Short Ribs)
- Grilled Mackerel

Final Thoughts:
The Ginseng Chicken was nothing mind-blowing in terms of flavour, but it was incredibly comforting and hearty. The pot is served tableside and the staff help you cook each course starting with the poached chicken, noodle soup, and finally turning leftover soup into congee.

The Galbi Jjim is my must-order dish! The short ribs are super tender, and the sauce is delicious. It may be a tad sweet, depending on your taste, but this was great with rice.

Overall, I find the prices a bit on the pricey side but they come with a larger portion and I always leave full. I'd want to bring my parents here or return with a large group to try more dishes.“

“Ate here on a Saturday evening around 7:40. Almost no customers and we got seated basically right away. Ordered a combo that came with marinated beef, beef intestines, onions, and some side dishes. Came with soup, onion salad, and complementary lettuce too. We also refilled our side dishes for free. Combo cost around $60. Would highly recommend if you have 2 people with a big appetite or 3 people with small appetites.“

“Love their chicken ginseng soup. Side dishes are also good but small. They don't have extensive menu options and I found other dishes are just ok.

Will come here for the chicken ginseng soup but will probably go to other Korean restaurants if I want something else.“

“Updates: We have been there more recently and the food quality and quantity has improved. Also, if you like braised pork hog (jokbal) or braised pork belly (bossam), this is the place to go. Their shabu shabu is still pricey.

Come here only if you like plan Korean noodle or big Korean dumpling (myungdong). Their shabu shabu is expensive for the little amount of food you get. For $17.99 each person, you get only 13 pieces of thinly sliced beef for 2 people (that means 6 pieces of beef per person).“

“I really don't regret it. Of all the Korean restaurants I've been to, the food service and visuals were all the best!! I was impressed after taking a bite. I think I will have a fun trip thanks to Deokman :) May you prosper~!!

I especially recommend squid fried rice to those who like spicy food.!!“

“the food was amazing! i got the special seol long tang and it tasted amazing. you can even season the food to your preference so that it will be to your liking. the side dishes that were served along the food were also fresh and delicious. will come back with friends and family“
