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“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“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“

“This Food cart has the best wings around. Sweet and savory, crunchy and Flavorful. The Burgers are definitely different than anywhere I've had And amazing with cool city street choices! This is definitely a must go to spot! 10/10“

“Very authentic and full of heart. The cooking feels traditional and deeply rooted in Korean home-style flavors. Every dish tastes carefully prepared, well-balanced, and true to its origins. You can tell this is food made with experience and pride. Easily one of the best spots for genuine Korean cuisine. Highly recommend.“

“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!“

“This place is fantastic and open late on weekdays! Nestled right in Cedar Hills Crossing, it's hidden behind Plaid Pantry. Very friendly staff, INCREDIBLE food. We got the BBQ combo and it was perfect. So deliciously fresh and so much food for the price. I highly recommend and will be back with the whole family!“

“Love this fusion Korean food!“

“Update: I have returned to this restaurant a few times after the last review. I believe in chances, this place still serves the great good. Definitely different than your typical Kalbi beef. I've become a regular there now 😁.
We've been here around 5 or 6 times now. The food always been consistent we enjoyed that very much. But my latest visit leaves me with consideration of every giving this family own place my business again. The waitress tonight are the MOST unwelcoming individuals you can encounter. None of them greet people with a smile. I let it be they might be tired, but being a family own place you really have to want to keep your customers more than ever. They just took our order, brought the food out half-ass, I asked for bowls to share, she gave us soup CUPS to eat in. Never she came by to check if we need our water refill (after i submitted this a different waitress came to check-in) or how the food was. And this place only ⅓ filled with people so they are not busy.“

“We enjoyed bibimbap today at the Ko Sisters Seoul Oak Tree Station location, and were so happy with our meal! The team at their food truck was incredibly kind, the food was ready quickly and the portion was generous. The food was delicious and we can wait to return!“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“Solid teriyaki, consistent, flavorful, good portions, and a great place that has lasted and endured. I like the salad, the vibe, a great lunch spot. Call it in and just know it’s popular and busy, it’s worth it. It’s busy for a reason and they usually have it on point during the rush. Great community, and like I said, solid. You know if you go, and if you go, you know.“

“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.“

“The jackfruit plate is fire!!“

“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 :)“

“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!“

“Great food. Wonderful owners. Inviting Atmosphere. Menu has a nice variety, all items made fresh to order. they now even have online ordering and it is so easy! I highly recommend checking this business out!“

“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.“

“What a great time! Love this place. Makes me feel so at home.“

“They have the best Thai Iced Tea I have had. My friend liked it so much she got one to go. Great service and good portions. I would say maybe try the low sodium option first that they offer as the regular sauce on my dish was a bit salty for me. But I will eqt here again next time I am at Powell's.“

“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 🤤“

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

“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.“

“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 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!“
