50 Best Korean Restaurants near Vancouver

“Sooo delicious!!! Have gotten the Korean fried chicken as takeout before and that was good but having their food hot and ready was amazing. Their bibimbap was incredible and my friend loved her bulgogi. I was wanting comforting food and I got it!“

“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.“

“The new menu is fantastic!!! So much flavor! Loved the change!“

“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!!“

“It seemed like a small family owned restaurant with authentic korean home cooked meal. I ordered the pork fried gyoza & spicy soondubu soup which came with japchae (glass noodle salad) and rice. Their 'spicy' is a level 7 and the added 'special pork' in the soondubu was the highlight of the dinner.
The place is small, maybe max capacity 20 and the servers was hospitable.

I'd recommend this place for the flavor & its simplicity when you want to grab a peaceful bite on a busy day!“

“I haven't been in person just yet, but have ordered from this place many times. Delicious gluten-free fried chicken every single time! Although I can't seem to find any info on if the other things are gf as well. Mac n cheese? Gravy? The sando? Would love to know.“

“The food was fantastic! I had the ganh-jang steak (coulette steak topped with mint butter served with rice over seasonal vegetables) and my husband had the maneul ox-bone soup and both meals were absolutely delicious. I enjoyed the cozy, casual atmosphere and the person who served us was super sweet.“

“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!“

“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 cannot WAIT to go back to Jeju! We went there for my husband's birthday dinner and I couldn't have booked a better spot—for food, vibes, spoiling, and love! First of all, Kamile. She she was the hostess, but she was so much more than that! From the moment I booked the reservation through OpenTable, she was immediately on top of my special requests and made me so excited about coming into the restaurant! She continued to shine like the bright star that she is and made the experience so special for us upon our arrival. 🍸💝 We sat at the chef's counter—10 out of 10 recommend! The head chef spoiled us! Our waiter was amazing! It was cozy and warm and delicious. The food is so incredible. You absolutely have to get the Bao burger—just wow! I want it every night of my life. It's Korean comfort food. We did the tasting menu for two and we left with food. We didn't come as hungry as we needed to be. It's a lot of food! You can have an amazing experience choosing à la carte or doing the tasting menu. But if you're gonna do the menu, come ready to eat! Everything is delicious. Everything is fresh; there's hardly any dairy in the food and the atmosphere is so inviting and beautiful. I cannot wait to go back! ✨ Thank you, Kamile, and everyone for making it so special for us! We'll see you again soon🪴🎂🍚🥬🫕“

“We can’t wait to go back and try more. I almost didn’t even want to write this review because I want this place to remain a hidden gem but it’s too good not to spread the word.

Hidden upstairs in a Korean grocery store, the food was authentic and the atmosphere too. We arrived at 8:10pm on a Friday and the lady made an exception for us as the kitchen closed at 8, although the restaurant stays open till 9. We recommend coming before then.

We tried the bulgogi, the chicken bulgogi, and a kimchi pancake without the pork. Before the food came out, they brought us banchan which we devoured. It was a collection of kimchi, fish cakes, potatoes in sweet soy sauce, pickles radishes, pickles, and broccoli. The kimchi was so good that we asked for more. We couldn’t stop eating everything when it arrived—definitely come here super hungry.

The chicken had a very smokey flavor to it, just a bit of a heads up. I wasn’t expecting that and although it was delicious, it’s not a taste I’m very used to.

We can’t wait to come back and try more. Plus the grocery store had some fascinating items that we want to check out, too.

Also, the sweetest older women were waiting on our tables and ran the house. They were very kind and diligent.“

“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!“

“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!“

“First time here tonight for my mom’s birthday/ this place is so good, we are going to make it our go to place for Korean bbq from now on! First reason we love this place is because we finally found a Korean bbq place that’s not all you can eat! We have small children and elderly parents who don’t eat a lot- so it’s a huge plus. Second one is this place feels super new and clean , even the bathrooms were clean and smell good. Last but not least, staff were super friendly - everyone who served us was really nice and kind. Their side dishes were really generous and they offered to replenish more than once. Price was more than reasonable. Yes we are definitely coming back!“

“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💜“

“The Bulgogi + Dukuhbee Noodle is small but MIGHTY!!! Don’t believe me, go try it for yourself and see you won’t be disappointed. There food is amazing, full of flavor, and presented beautifully. The menu can be hard to make sense of, but once you get to the kiosk it becomes easy. The kiosk is very user friendly. The customer service was fantastic, the gentlemen that served us and was attending to the other guests was extremely kind and friendly. He made our visit that much better.

For the first visit I would recommend mild to no spicy, not because they can be real spicy, but so you can really taste the fresh noodles. We got 1 Yum(appetizer), 2 Dukuhbee(hand pulled) Noodle dishes. The yum was beef Mandoo. It was crispy and crunchy. It had a delicious sweet sauce drizzled over them. My friend got the Pork Dukuhbee mild spicy. Basically non-spicy BUT you could really taste the noodles. The pork was soft, rich, and satisfying. Everything blended well together. I got the Kimchi & bacon Dukuhbee medium spicy. Mine wasn’t really spicy but because of the blend of spice, saltiness from the bacon, and kimchi I didn’t get the full taste of the noodles like my friend did. I’m not disappointed with my choice, I’m just giving you a heads up in case you venture out like I did. Heads up they do put a hefty serving of cheese on top of the noodles that I mixed in. Next time I’d ask for less cheese. If you choose the kimchi & bacon, either you have to be a Kimchi person or be adventurous with your entrees.

Parking can be meh! We got SUPER lucky and got a spot right in front. Either way it’s doable, just park down a side street and walk there. We will definitely be back, there’s more things in the menu we want to try! Hope you enjoy them.“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“Have the Korean Corn dog and the fried chicken last night. Both were fantastic. The corn dog was big and crunchy with sweet & spicy sauce. Chicken was flavorful and crunchy too. Will be back“

“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“

“It’s a nice Korean restaurant in a not very nice area 😂 but the food was top tier! We ordered bulgogi and ox bone soup they tasted delicious! The server was very nice even tho she’s on her own deal with all the tables but she worked really really hard“

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

“Great service and delicious food!“

“The jackfruit plate is fire!!“

“Wonderful spot for a late night bite! Came here with a friend after being out seeing music, we got bah mi to eat in and then I also got a vegetable and rice dish to take home. We're both vegetarian; there's a decent selection and what we had was all super delicious. The sweet potato fries that come with the sandwich were some of the best I've ever had (and I'm picky about my sweet potato fries).

Service was friendly, prompt, and accommodating. Environment is nice but still comfortable and casual enough to be at ease. There's 4 TVs playing different things, felt a bit brain rot over stimulation-u, but they were all muted so it wasn't intrusive.

Great place!“

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

“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.“

“Food was absolutely delicious and the owner and staff were so friendly. We had teriyaki chicken, orange chicken and pot stickers. Everything was so flavorful and scrumptious! Can’t wait to come back for more. Thank you Rising Sun! God bless you all!“

“The service was amazing! Huge shoutout to the woman working today at 1pm. She was so sweet and was able to balance everything very well. The food was great too! Good portions for a good price. This was my first time. I will definitely come back.“

“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.“

“We went there just for the Ramen. I ordered the Braised Chicken Ramen and it was delicious! My husband ordered the Tonkotsu Ramen and was a little disappointed that there wasn't more pork belly in it. The staff were friendly and it is a very cute little restaurant.“

“The food was very good, but the service is very slow. Hard to find your server, when you need to order a drink or more food. When ordering a beer or drink, at least 10 minutes for it to come out. The people bringing your food and drinks out were great!“

“This place is such a hidden gem! It’s like a build-your-own hotpot, and every bite is packed with incredible flavor. Tucked away in the Northwest neighborhood, it definitely deserves way more recognition. It may be counter service, but the care and attention they give you feels like full table service. And trust me—this praise is coming from an Asian foodie. Game on.“

“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!“

“Always fresh and yum!“

“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 🤤“

“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.“

“I am starting to try out food around the PSU campus. I chose Rice Junkies because of the price. I can say I'm not disappointed. I decided to try the Mexican bowl, as it seemed similar to what I'd get at Chipotle. I feel like there is much more food, without the added cost of guacamole, and the cheese is melted! I may have found a good go-to place for food!

One thing is that is is a SMALL place, but there is outside seating. It is definitely more of a to go eatery than sit-in.“

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

“I pass by here all the time but decided to try it today. I got coffee with boba and a donut and it was $10. Their donut flavors are super interesting, I got Reese's cheesecake and it was great. I like that the donut wasn't iced AND frosted so it wasn't too sweet, the perfect amount of chewy.

I see some reviews about the service but the guy at the counter was polite and prompt, no complaints at all. They also have Korean style corn dogs I want to try next time, I'll definitely be back!“
