50 Best Korean Restaurants near York

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

“Delicious food and generous servings. The sushi combos really give great value for the price without compromising on quality. I personally recommend the sushi deluxe combo.

There’s no dine in available, but there’s a nearby park where you can bring your food.“

“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.“

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

“If I could give it 6 stars, I would. This place is PHENOMENAL, such a hidden gem. The food is upscale and comforting while served within a warm and welcoming interior (I love the baby fireplace). Thanks for the delicious meal and great service, we will definitely be back!“

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

“They were not kidding about the portion size! Me and my friend split one of the pork donkatsu + an extra bowl of rice and we only barely managed to almost finish it. We also ordered a cheesy corn which was super cheesy and not too sweet. The katsu itself had an amazing crust, light and crispy even in the sauce. I’ve never had the brown sauce before and it had a sweet and tomatoey flavor. It’s not personally my preferred flavor combo but still a lovely meal overall. If I were to go back I think I’ll order the curry sauce instead.“

“Great location for dining. Good side dishes, good value with the price. Everything is perfect, I love when they have bigbang music. Truly love it. If you are looking for a place to hang out, it is a good place. Food is not super delicious but it is good.“

“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.“

“Notably very friendly staff. Was warmly greeted upon entering the restaurant. Staff was extremely courteous and did not have to wait too long to receive my order. If anything the spot is a bit too small and they would do better with a bigger location. Overall, a great experience…“

“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 🤩🤩“

“Wonderful food, super quick service. The Consomme Chicken is a must try for sure! The Butter Garlic Fries were also amazing.

Portion size is great. The combo with rose topokki is enough for 2 people, and can even be a lot if you're light eaters.“

“Casual spot in Kensington Market for fresh comfort Korean food! Love the sizzling plates and combo deals. They have a variety of dishes to choose from and there’s something on the menu for everyone. Favourites are the beef short ribs, dolsot bibimbap, and cheesy tteokbokki!“

“맛있다 , 다음 번에 다시 돌아 볼 수 있습니다.“

“I love this place! We went pretty late— around 9-10pm ish and everyone who worked there was so nice to us!

We got the gimbap with tuna mayo, the tteok gangjeong, the fried tofu, and the japchae! The portions are generous and you can tell care really goes into the food. The japchae had such a good sort of smokiness, but honestly everything tasted really good!

If you want some Korean food that really feels like your mom or grandma made it definitely go here!!“

“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.“

“Seems like most people who know about this place lately, especially those not from the downtown area, found it through social media. Same for us, so we decided to give it a try.

We went on a Sunday just before 2:30 pm, just in time for their $18.99 (Apr 2026) buffet lunch, which runs until 3:30 pm. It wasn’t too busy, with only about four groups dining when we arrived. You can choose between ordering à la carte or going for the buffet.

For the price, the variety was pretty decent. Flavour-wise, it leans on the sweeter side, which might not be for everyone, just personal preference. We also found ourselves surprisingly thirsty for the rest of the day after. The menu felt more Korean-Chinese than strictly Korean, with quite a few dishes leaning more Chinese. Also, no lettuce wraps or bibimbap, which was a bit of a letdown.

The spicy pork bone dish was definitely a highlight for me. On the flip side, the kimbap was disappointing. The rice was dry and hard, and it had a slight sour smell and taste, which wasn’t great. Service was okay overall.

All in all, it’s good value for now. With how popular it’s getting, prices have already started creeping up since the buffet was introduced and will probably keep rising. If it stays around this price, we’d likely come back if we’re in the downtown area again.

Note: Btw, you get a complimentary plate of gyozas (for à la carte menu) if you give a 5-stars Google review.“

“super testy chicken fried 😍😋“

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

“I ordered the Spicy Stir Fried Pork and the Tteokbokki, Kimbap, and Fish Cake soup set. The main dishes were absolutely delicious, and what really impressed me was that every single side dish was flavorful and fresh. Highly recommend for anyone looking for authentic Korean takeout!“

“grest seafood pancake large enough to share for 2 enjoyed the bibimbap hot stonr pot and the ja jeung mein wastasty and filling.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“The food was warm, hearty, and hit the spot. I got the ox bone soup which was very good. My friend got the seafood noodle soup and his portion was huge. Which is good, because he eats like a monster. Plenty of side dishes and they gave us refills of the ones we liked which is always a plus.

The place was busy for dinner time but it didn't feel overly crowded. 10/10, will be back to chase away the winter blues with some hot Korean stews!“

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

“Really enjoy this place. Food is great, service too. Also a very decent Open Mic on Wednesdays open for various acts like Comedy, Poetry, Music. Sure, there may be a performance that isn’t everyone’s fave but doesn’t reflect the restaurant itself. Overall it’s well run and majority of acts understand and do well.“

“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!“

“I walked in here starved, starved like I was going to Mandarin. However this is no mandarin, this is sinjeon, one of the best if not the best Korean food stops I’ve ever been too. And I’ve been around the block something awful this is Torontos best hidden gem amongst the dirt. It shines in the dark. I would give 6 stars if I could, I recommend everybody comes here for a try at least once in they life.“

“Hidden gems that I truly don’t want to tell. Great amount of food! Taste is fantastic! Love gamjatang (a bit spicy but very flavourful!) No, everything was tasty! Old style place which I love it! Please don’t change anything the way it looks and tastes. Small restaurant so of course take a bit time but I can be patient. Tight space so better go when not busy time. Highly recommend :)“

“I ate at many korean restaurants and I can say that the food is delicious. I had their army stew which had so much flavours and toppings. I enjoyed every last bit. Plus there was a 10% discount if you pay in cash. Highly recommend. I only wish they can add maybe one more side dish“

“Fun atmosphere and our server was great. Quick service and friendly. Not sure how prices compare to other places in Toronto, but it seemed on par with similar places in Chicago. Only negative part of the night was the extremely loud and chaotic table sitting directly behind us.“

“Good taste with good service.“

“AMAZING! Don’t let the menu simplicity fool you, this is some of the freshest, tastiest Korean food out there. Vegetables were incredibly crispy and the tuna kimbap well constructed and flavorfully balanced, and very fairly priced.

So good, can’t wait to go back!

Honorable mention - the Japchae was very fresh.“

“From the moment I opened the containers, the aroma took me straight back to the streets of Myeong-dong. I was genuinely feeling like I was right there in Korea,
​The food is absolutely amazing. The beef bento box had that perfect balance of smoky sweetness, and had that deep, fermented kick that you usually only find in a home-cooked meal in Seoul.
Every bite was a nostalgic explosion of flavor—crispy, savory, and perfectly seasoned.
​It is rare to find a takeout spot that maintains this level of quality and soul. If you’re craving a true taste of Korea without the 14-hour flight, this is the place to go. My soul is happy and my stomach is full. Thank you seoul for making this amazing dishes .“

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

“Had very nice dinner with my friend, reaaaally enjoyed truffle cream udon - had amazing flavour and udon noodles were cooked to perfection 🙌

Also John is amazing and made us welcome with treats in the beginning! Thank you very much!“

“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.“

“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😍.“

“The service is great! The tea is delicious, and free! I highly recommend the cheese dakgalbi, along with fried rice to mix into the leftover sauce near the end of the meal.“

“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!!“

“Me and my vegan friend had an amazing experience here
The hosts as well as the chef were so accomodating and sweet
Really appreciate their hospitality
Plus the food was delicious
We loved tteokbokj and Korean army stew“

“Seriously AMAZING. I got the seafood pancake and gamjatang.

I ordered on Uber Eats so I was prepared for the seafood pancake to be a bit soggy, but oh my god that was the crispiest pancake I’ve ever had! I was really impressed. Fluffy on the inside, and it was truly massive. Such good bang for your buck. Generous amount of seafood, and very yummy flavour.

The gamjatang was also incredible. I got the mild spicy, but it was incredibly flavourful. A nice array of banchan (side dishes), and the stew came with an insane amount of fall off the bone meat.

I was seriously impressed by this place, I got a huge amount of food for a great price and it was all delicious. Also, the restaurant took such care with packaging, my soup was individually packed in a plastic bag, and the whole order was double bagged. The restaurant isn’t super close to me, but everything came piping hot!

Will definitely eat here again!“

“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!“
