50 Best Korean Restaurants near York

“Delicious juicy chicken great taste best chicken on Eglinton 10/10“

“I ordered sushi off Uber Eats. It was very fresh. I enjoyed everything,. It was nice that the restaurant could also accommodate gluten allergies. I was able to have a roll with crab because they offered real crab in some of the rolls, not just imitation crab. I would recommend this place!“

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

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

“I was craving some katsu and rice, so I randomly stumbled upon this place, and I see why it's so highly rated now. I got the combo pork katsu set which has two pieces of pork, and half signature katsu sauce and half creamy sauce, and also came with rice, corn and cabbage salad. The SERVINGS were diabolically generous like holyymoly wow. I was pretty hungry too, but I think I managed to get through about 60%. It was delicious though, and I really wanted to keep stuffing my face but my stomach was going to explode. The pork was so crispy! And the sauce was well balanced, the katsu sauce and the creamy sauce worked well together actually! I enjoyed each bite with both sauces together, but on their own, it was also nice too. Recommend coming here! Make sure your ready to EAT“

“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♡“

“Diner Seoul is a perfect place for those who enjoy Korean cuisine, but would like to try another take at it. You can tell that the chef tries different ideas and creates their version of the familiar dishes, and I think that deserves many stars for a city like Toronto where there aren't too many innovators. I'm hoping that they have interesting dishes for different seasons, for I'd like to see what ideas that the chef has.

The restaurant itself is a cute, small and cozy space with about 24 seats available. I visited with about 16 people and had a great time ?

I highly recommend this place for dates, the atmosphere is perfect for couples who would like to dine with a comforting vibe, interesting yet not-so-strange dishes and kind services.

Looking forward to visiting you again!“

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

“Kachi Korean Restaurant is a real gem in the heart of Toronto, located on Dundas Street in Kensington–Chinatown. From the moment you arrive, you’re greeted by warm, friendly staff who make you feel welcome and genuinely care about your dining experience.
The dishes are absolutely delicious and very generous, large portions, plenty of side dishes (banchan), and authentic flavors that truly capture the essence of Korean cuisine. Whether it’s bibimbap, soups, or grilled dishes, everything is flavorful, comforting, and satisfying.
With excellent value for money, a cozy atmosphere, and hearty, tasty food, Kachi is definitely a must-visit for anyone craving authentic Korean food in Toronto!“

“This is a amazing spot.
Foods are sweet mostly, kept forget serving a few items after you asked it
But I still give 5 star, because great value dine-in compare to the so cheap price and quality of meats !!!
Furthermore so detailed and nastalgia interior of about 1970-1980 in Korea.
I absolutely want to come back“

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

“We had the spicy pork bulgogi on a sizzling platter and seafood noodle soup and we are stuffffffffed. Also hot take but the california rolls are weirdly good. Cozy place too with a cute front room. Our server was very friendly and kind too. :)“

“Great spot for authentic Korean food in downtown. All the side dishes are refillable and were all super tasty (especially the kimchi which we reordered many times). The gamjatang was good except one of ours didn’t come with the kimchi on top (just bean sprouts). Katsu was crispy, tteokboki was spicy and chewy, bibimbap was fresh and all the portion sizes were great. Servers were super friendly although it was busy they helped us as best as they could.“

“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!“

“Really impressed by how juicy and tender the inside of the fried chicken was. I got the takeout menu that's a lot cheaper than the sit-in menu (just ~$21 for medium vs. ~$28 for small). I know it's takeout because the waitress brought the food to me in a takeout box and not on a plate and took away the cutlery. But I finished the food at the restaurant without problems. Music was too loud but tolerable“

“If you're near Lansdowne Station in Toronto, don't miss this cozy gem right by the subway exit! The moment you walk in, the charming decor and warm ambiance instantly make you feel at home. It’s my spot whenever I’m feeling stressed or just need a comforting meal, and it never disappoints.

I’ve tried almost everything on the menu, and each dish is thoughtfully prepared and topped with their signature house-made sauces. My personal favorite is the Don Katsu crispy, tender, and bursting with flavor every single time. I was just there again today, and as always, it hit the spot.

The prices are very reasonable for the portion sizes, and the food is consistently satisfying. What makes this place even more special is the people who run it that they’re genuinely kind, welcoming, and always smiling. It truly feels like my “fourth place” outside of home and work.

If you're looking for a spot that combines great food, comforting vibes, and heartfelt service, this is it. A hidden gem in Toronto that’s absolutely worth discovering!“

“Staff was very friendly, food was fresh and delicious and very filling. Compared to Egg Club it was more crispy / well toasted, and since this had corn in the egg mixture, it was a
bit sweeter in flavour. I had the double cheese bacon toast and it was not lacking in either component. Bacon was crisp, cheese was ample and well melted

I'm not saying one is better than the other since they're both delicious egg in bread establishments. Just an observation.

Will be back to try more of the menu“

“Ordered Sarang Feast and it turned out to be very fulfilling for 4 people. The chicken is halal and absolutely loved the Malaysian Spice and Hard Case. The ambience is calm and there is a sensory room in the restaurant to accommodate people with sensory needs. Overall, it was a good experience.“

“Great food, service, and atmosphere.“

“Beef rib bone soup, except the beef is less, mainly bone, the beef soup is delicious.
The spicy fish roe soup is rare in common Korean meal and taste okay.
Pork kimchi stew taste alright
The side dishes are tastes yummy !“

“This is the best hole in the wall. I remember coming when it was a different Sushi restaurant years ago.

It is s Korean restaurant now and still tasty and the service warm and friendly.

We had the chicken and beef/ eel Bibimbap and everything was delicious.“

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

“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!“

“Absolutely fantastic! Authentic Korean flavors, fresh ingredients, and perfectly balanced spices. The staff was warm and attentive, and the atmosphere was cozy yet vibrant. Every dish—from the sizzling bulgogi to the kimchi—was a delight. Will definitely be coming back!“

“맛있다 , 다음 번에 다시 돌아 볼 수 있습니다.“

“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!“

“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 👍“

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

“The food was perfect! I ordered the Cream Udon and Cheese Kimbap - starting off with the Cream Udon, it was slightly thick and creamy followed by a hint of spice and sweetness so it wasn’t too heavy. The udon was also cooked perfectly! The cheese Kimbap was great as well - perfect kick of spice and was wrapped well! Love the environment of the place and service was kind!

Will be coming again!“

“The owner was very kinda and the food came extremely fast. The happy hour 5-7 is a great deal, especially the kimchi fries which are a really good portion and super crispy. We got 3 happy hour dishes to share and it was more than enough for 2 people. Would love to come back sometime“

“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'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.“

“Very tasty and healthy food here! Also, everyone is really friendly here, always smiling and very polite. Definitely recommend this place!

Edit.
Just tried their Chicken Dosirak and that thing blew me away. The chicken was so good! Juicy and slightly sweet, just the way I like it!“

“Came here for their lunch special and had a great experience! The restaurant has a nice aesthetic and was very clean. The servers were so friendly and attentive, which made the meal even better. The all you can eat lunch special was awesome and the food was fresh and delicious. Definitely coming back again!“

“Genuinely, this is probably the best place to get Korean food in Toronto and one of the best restaurants in Toronto (I feel strongly!). The food tastes like REAL food and I truly believe I could eat it every day and feel great. The owner is so sweet and always remembers us and gives us new things to try. The best....simply the best! Thank you thank you!“

“This man didn't see my 4 year old at first, and in his moment of surprise he performed some sort of magic, producing a couple of small candies for my son accompanied by the sweetest smile. At our request he suggested a dish he thought my picky eater would enjoy, which was very different from what I would have guessed! It was delicious, and he saved some to eat for his bedtime snack. The adult food was BERY delicious as well, which is what I expect of Korean food. What a pleasant experience.“

“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“

“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!“

“The best korean fried chicken I've ever had. 🤤“

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

“Love this place! The tteokbokki is our favorite! Affordable and plentyy! We’ve going back for it over and over again for the past year and a half. The portion is so big, and despite me eating a lottt in general, this one fills me up easily. Service can be a little slow at times but they do get really busy there so I get it. Also, the unlimited side dishes are greattt too! I love the pickled radish and the glass noodles!“

“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.“

“This hotel food quality is very good“

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

“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... 😋😋😋“

“Good taste with good service.“

“Excellent, well-priced korean grill spot. Great, fantastic nostalgic Korean atmosphere and truly amazing service. Side dishes are all fantastic. The pork that was ordered was a bit tough however and quality was a tad poor. Other than that, truly an amazing spot. Loved the complimentary Korean yogurt at the end, it was a nice touch. Will be coming back surely“
