50 Best Korean Restaurants near Vancouver

“I was pretty impressed with this place. Strip mall restaurants can be kind of hit or miss. This is definitely a hit. The food was so good and filling. We took a while to go over the menu and the waiter was super nice about it. He gave us plenty of time and made sure we knew he wouldn't be far away if we wanted to ask any questions. Everything we ordere tasted amazing, the meat was all tender and juicy. The soup was packed with delicious flavor and the house sauce they make is absolutely amazing. The owner himself came out and checked up with us and asked if we had any questions or needed anything. It was a really nice pesonable experience and I will definitely be coming back here.“

“after a long wait of 20 minutes, we got a table to celebrate SVD, we ordered food and we were really hungry, after 20 minutes of nobody coming by or the server even asking if we got anything, a guy from the kitchen comes to ask if we got our food, I asked him to cancel our order, wich by the way was not even started! The organization of this place is terrible and the customer service is worthless, don't waste your time. Unless you want your night out ruined by a bad restaurant“

“Very delicious food, the host is very nice and hospitable! :)“

“Love the food it’s our once a month go to place“

“Good food, service, atmosphere. The peanut sauce is the perfect temperature.“

“Great food, beautiful ambiance and amazing service. Mikala was a very good and kind server. Dining in remembrance of a dear friend was made so special by all of the people at Kenjis. Thank you Kenji’s GM, Mikala and the staff! You made it a memory we will never forget!“

“Definitely a place to visit 🤎 The gyoza were nice, full and juicy. The Spicy Pork and Kung Pao Chicken were savory and the sauce was delicious!! The yakisoba and rice were both fantastic! 😋 While we were dining, Sam, the manager came out to greet us.. very friendly and was very kind and appreciative. Another awesome thing about this place is the excellent service and clean tables!! Reasonable prices as well! The menu has so many options, I look forward to going back and trying other menu items. By far one of the best teriyaki places I have eaten at anywhere. 🤎“

“From our nine year old: Amazing service and great mocktails! We went during the make your own Gimbap and it was absolutely amazing!!“

“Fantastic! Came here for lunch, had sweet and spicy potstickers, bibimbap and cup bop. So flavorful, fresh, delicious with excellent service and suggestions from our waitress. Definitely added to the list of our favorites! A delightful meal!“

“Been waiting to try this place FOREVER and was blown away by the food. Snow cheese drumsticks were perfect. Gochujang drumsticks almost as perfect, really nice crunch and tangy coating. Lots of attention to detail with the pickles and shredded greens on the side. Honestly though any place that hands you food service plastic gloves to eat your meal with is a win in my book, oh and our toddler loved it too! Bonus was reheating the chicken in our oven at home and broiling the snow cheese at the end. Got some crazy char and unlocked many new bonus levels of flavor. Oh and and gluten free items clearly marked with no reactions to any of the foods. Bangin!“

“We got the tasting menu and every course was delicious. The bacon was the standout favorite, but we loved everything. It was my husband's birthday and they brought him a scoop of cardamom ice cream with a candle in it, and that was fantastic too. How do you make mugwort whipped cream? I don't know, but that was amazing too. Excellent service, wonderful cocktails. We'll definitely be back.“

“Must try If you’re anywhere in Portland. The place was beautiful and spotless. The Cleanliness alone is enough to stop. The food itself blew all my expectations out of the water. The focus on high-quality ingredients really shows. The proteins We’re tender and cooked to perfection. Staff was helpful and friendly. A new addition to my all-time favorite restaurants.“

“Just had the Bulgogi with pot stickers and a side of kimchi. Amazingly delicious! I would highly recommend Korean twist. I will be back.“

“I was trying to go to Tomo Ramen next door, but they were slammed. I saw the sign for Mokdong and decided to give it a try. I ordered the gyoza, bacon kimbap, pork katsu, and mango hard tea. The food was so delicious that I only got a pic of my drink, and the portions were so generous that I had plenty of leftovers. All the dishes came with pickled veggies and dressed salads/ garnish. It might be the best pork katsu I’ve had in the city, and the employees were kind and attentive. Absolutely recommend, you may miss it by just walking by!“

“My son and I got the Korean fried chicken bentos. This is some of the best Korean fried chicken I’ve had in the NW. I loved the thin strips of seasoned scallion they added to my bento. And my son and I loved the red bean rice. It reminded me of my mom’s homemade red bean rice. I loved the warm, clean indoor dining area. I will be back to eat here again!“

“Delicious food ever love the honey spice sauce“

“When I visit Portland, I make a point of dining at the so‑called must‑try restaurants, but most of them end up being disappointing. However, this place—located on the second floor of a Korean market—is very simple yet surprisingly delicious. Whenever I go to G Mart to pick up sale items, I usually stop here for a meal.
The food here is much better than at Jeju, Hanok, or other Korean restaurants. Another advantage is that after finishing your meal, you can conveniently do your grocery shopping right downstairs. The prices are reasonable, and most of the menu items taste excellent. This is definitely a place I recommend.“

“Amazing Korea food with low pricing. Very generous with appetizer free serving, there’s even crab that’s so tasty! Rice seems also free to serve, but comes with very pleasant steam bowl. Bibimbap is good and the portion is quite big! I love your Kalbi that’s wonderful. I’ll need to come back for it!!“

“it is in the heart of downtown a couple blocks from Powell Books in the beginning of the park block the most important it is clean and it's a good diversity of food cart they even have a double decker bus that serve coffee in the morning and beer and wine in the evening plenty of seating outside looking at the park block.“

“On top of the food being amazing, if you eat-in, they serve you, and the food is plated in a really nice way! The employees we interacted with were so nice!!! (Unfortunately, I forgot to take pictures of the food/presentation, we were too busy shoving the delicious food in our faces) but the food was amazing, chicken was crispy and the soy garlic flavor was very pleasant, fries were thick and crispy, and the sauces were a good match. Will definitely be returning!“

“I just visited JCD BBQ with a group of three friends, and we were absolutely blown away! From the moment we walked in, the place was spotless and inviting. The atmosphere is super clean and comfortable, which is always a huge plus for a K-BBQ spot.

​The food was outstanding—everything came out tasty, fresh, and incredibly filling. We left completely satisfied (and maybe a little too full!).

​But what really made the night special was the service. The staff were all exceptional, but I have to give a massive shout-out to Danny (Clark). He went absolutely above and beyond for our table. He was hilarious, kept the energy up, and made sure we had everything we needed before we even had to ask.

​Danny is definitely part of the reason we’ll be coming back soon. If you’re looking for great food and even better service, this is the place to go!

From your friend Big Mo“

“Love this fusion Korean food!“

“This place is has totally won me over. Would have taken a picture of the food but I ate it ALL immediately! The wings steal the show; large, juicy, fried to perfection and I loved that they served the mala sauce on the side for dipping! Sweet, spicy, garlicky perfection. The dumplings and egg rolls were also phenomenal. Everything tastes like it’s made with love, do not pass up this food cart💜“

“I had an amazing meal the other night. The Bulgogi DuKuhBee is known for their hand pulled noodles, but we also got to try a lot of other Korean staples like Bibimbap, Korean fried chicken, bulgogi, japchae, and more.

We devoured everything and left no crumbs but the dishes I would likely gravitate back towards are the hand pulled noodles, wings, and actually the Mandoo!

The hand pulled noodles were coated nicely with a spicy sauce and had a great chew to them. I loved the thickness of the noodles and added crunch from the cabbage and other veggies. Half sweet and half spicy for the wings was the way to go - each wing was doused in sauce and sesame seeds but still maintained its crunch. As someone that doesn’t usually like wings, these were fantastic. Lastly, the Mandoo surprised me! It was the sauce that sealed the deal. It was like a thousand island, poppy seed kind of dressing that worked very well. I couldn’t stop eating them.

If you’re looking for authentic Korean food, this is the place!“

“I had the bulgogi rice bowl and WOW it was delicious! reasonably priced and nice staff. will definitely go again and highly recommend this place to others!“

“soooo good!! My favorites are the brisket and beef bulgogi. The steamed egg is also amazing. Like a tiny souffle! various condiments... i think next time I'll do a la carte of the meat portions. mostly because after two rounds of AYCE I'm overstuffed and no taking leftovers... can't wait to go back!“

“Food is amazing! I got 3 tacos - spicy pork, bulgogi beef, and teriyaki chicken. All were delicious, but the spicy pork and bulgogi beef were my favorites. Would definitely recommend and stop here again when visiting Portland!“

“your restaurant have 5 start from me..the food is delicious. fresh and healthy.“

“This place used to be everywhere in Portland! Their bulgogi burritos and tacos are super interesting and fun with the kimchi.

Today I tried their bulgogi cheese steak and it was super flavorful and interesting..... Just like all their other offerings.“

“Despite being extremely busy on Superb Ow day, our online order was ready right on time. Even better, it was delicious!!! crispy, sticky, spicy and amazing“

“Great service and delicious food!“

“We came to So Kong Dong Tofu & BBQ for a birthday dinner and had a really nice time. The BBQ was tasty, the chicken bibimbap was great, and the white rice wine was a nice touch. The vibe was comfortable and perfect for celebrating. Would definitely come back.“

“Du’s is my favorite! I’m from out of town and look forward to it every time I visit PDX. Delicious food, giant portions, and it’s that rare place every person in my family loves without exception.“

“The jackfruit plate is fire!!“

“I had the bulgogi rice bowl and WOW it was delicious! reasonably priced and nice staff. will definitely go again and highly recommend this place to others!“

“Wonderful street food and cocktail vibes.... backlit holes in the dark walls give a delightful ambiance to a Short Round visit. Every time we drop in, we make an attempt to try something different, and I have yet to be disappointed. I've somehow missed out on becoming a wing connousieur, but I'm turning into a big fan of the ones here. So far, we haven't gone wrong with whatever drink special they have, any random Thai dish that sounds interesting, and an order of wings. Short Round is quickly becoming a favorite spot when we're looking for something quick and genuinely tasty. Ordering at the counter and taking a number to your table makes service quick and painless.“

“Best lollipop chicken and garlic noodles in town!! Great friendly owners :)“

“family friendly and a beautiful environment ❤️ Just love this place“

“We were going to go to a nearby resteraunt we love, but they were closed for the day so we decided to try Rising Sun. I am glad we did. We had the bibimbap and pho, and the food was delicious. The atmosphere was pleasant and cozy. The service was friendly. We plan on returning.“

“By far and away, my most favorite eatery in Portland. Fried rice spam bowl is my favorite!! But their Kahlua pig and Shoyu chicken are top notch too. Friendly staff, and safe space. Mahalo Plenty.“

“Probably one of the most generous portions of ramen in town. The space is very crowded and it is mostly self serve. Service is quick and the ramen tastes rich. Perhaps not the most Japanese flavor of ramen, but delicious nonetheless. The use of quail eggs is unique. Great value and fast casual.“

“I went for lunch here for the first time and got the soup option. I got a stainless steel mixing bowl and added fresh cabbage, bok choy, sprouts, mushrooms, chives, shrimp, surimi/crab, dumplings, beef, and corn flour noodles. The hostess asked me whether I wanted a soup or stir fry. I opted for soup. I felt like my soup bowl came pretty quickly and everything was cooked in the most delicious vegetarian based broth. The broth had so much flavor and complemented all of my veggies, seafood, and meat so well. I loved it. I got a one star spice level and it was perfect for me. If you can’t handle spicy food, let your server know after you’ve put your bowl together so that they know to not add too much red pepper. Say that you want “zero stars” and add that you don’t want pepper. I definitely coming back here. It was a generous amount of food and it felt healthy.“

“Excellent spot! We had the signature noodles with pork belly in minimum spicy and the sesame chicken. The sesame chicken was perfectly sweet (not overpowering) and had good flavor. The noodles were delicious, not too spicy for my mild palate, and the pork belly was crunchy and succulent.“

“Always fresh and yum!“

“I recently visited Fomo Chicken, and I'm happy to say that the food has really improved over the years. The soy garlic fried chicken I had was delicious, and I appreciated the amount food I got for my money. While the customer service was okay, it was the food that stole the show. The flavor of the fried chicken was spot on, and it's clear that they've made strides in providing a better dining experience. If you're a fan of soy garlic fried chicken, this place is definitely worth a visit. Overall, a tasty and satisfying meal!“

“Absolutely delicious! Chicken is super juicy and the wings are nice and crunchy! 🤩

Will definitely come again.

We had 3 flavors. A small size is 8 wings, but theyre huge..
*Spicy galbi
*Honey garlic *Secret sauce

We also tried the kimchi pasta, which was creamy and spicy. It was also full of chicken. The fries also seemed to be battered fried so they are also extra crispy.

This is our new favorite wing spot 🤤“

“My party of 5 (ages 21 to 57) were blown away by the food and service! This is a very special place - perfect for an impressive date night or a celebration. Our only constructive feedback is that our chef's choice nigiri plate arrived too early (about 5 minutes after we ordered it) and didn't contain the one special request that we requested. The black cod was ethereal, the vegetable dishes were outrageously delicious and the mushroom boa buns shouldn't be missed! Bravo!“

“I’m 33 and I have been coming here since I was in high school (St. Mary’s alums will understand), and the owner always recognizes me and still remembers my order to this day even though I have gone months and even years in between visits sometimes. She is so sweet and prepares the food with care; I usually get the veggie yakisoba and I’ve never been disappointed. Their peanut sauce is my favorite. Their food is still reasonably priced, so definitely tip if you’re able!

It’s a smallish spot with not a ton of indoor seating, but I always get my food to go anyway. Parking can sometimes be a little tricky during peak traffic, but if you’re willing to walk a block or two you should be fine.“

“Love the food it’s our once a month go to place“

“Decent price for all you can eat Korean BBQ; prices range per package with the main difference being seafood and offal. You get frozen or marinated meats you cook on a hot grill. There are also entrees you can order, but that’s not what you come here for unless you are pressed for time.“
