48 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!!“

“A hidden gem nestled conveniently on 23rd. Spicy gyoza with crispy cabbage, Spicy beef burrito with tender rice, & Spicy sauces on the side! Ultra-friendly, attentive service provided in a cozy, laid back atmosphere. A new neighborhood favorite!!!“

“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“

“I visited here alone for my birthday, and the experience was wonderful. The staff were so kind and welcoming—they even surprised me with free French fries! It made me feel less lonely and was honestly one of the best gifts I received for my birthday.
Regarding the food, I ordered the Half and Half (Soy Garlic & King Spicy), and both were top-notch. I also tried the new Cheese Wings, which were perfectly savory and crunchy.
I’ll definitely be back for the food, the service, and the genuine kindness I felt here 🤍“

“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“

“I was so happy to find authentic Korean food here in the U.S.—hidden on the second floor of Gmart. This is seriously one of those local-only spots you’d never know about unless someone told you.

Today I ordered kimchi jjigae, and we also got spicy tteokbokki and bulgogi jeongol to share. We were very satisfied with everything, including all the side dishes.“

“Best Korean wings ever!! I’m obsessed with the sauce, especially the mandoo sauce 😍 The shrimp noodles are sooo good too..the shrimp tastes super fresh (not fishy at all), and the noodles are made from starch. And OMG you have to try the ribs 🤤 sooo goooood!!“

“Love this fusion Korean food!“

“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!“

“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!“

“Found a gem for authentic Korean food! 🇰🇷 The cold noodles were incredible—perfectly al dente with a delicious, subtly spicy broth. The blood sausage appetizer was super tasty and came in a very generous portion. Bonus points for the great over-table ventilation setups for Korean BBQ! Service can be a little stretched during rush hours, but it feels like a family-run spot that I 100% support.“

“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!“

“What a great experience and lovely food! The woman who waited me today was very patient and kind. She explained a better deal for what I was wanting to eat. She also offered me a to-go container and more of a side I wanted to pack and take with me. I highly recommend the Curry Tofu and be sure to try the seaweed side.“

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

“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.“

“The jackfruit plate is fire!!“

“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!“

“Had the yakisoba, the dumplings and the Kana moo Krob. Everything was full of flavor, well balanced, and filling. Plates were cleared and the staff was awesome. Honestly such a great place, would recommend for a low key date with good, quality food.“

“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.“

“This was one of the most enchanting, beautiful and downright fun meals I've had in Portland. We've lived down Hawthorne from this place for forever and finally tried it and it was SUCH a delight.

The portions. The atmosphere. The flavors. The presentation. The friendliness!

I ordered the seafood ramen and the best way I can encapsulate it is this: if you ever find yourself going on a first - no, SECOND - date with someone, come here and share the seafood ramen together. You will discover so much about each other.

This ramen is layers on layers on layers. It is endless. You will discover sea creatures you didn't know existed. It is a bounty. It is a treasure chest. It is a journey.

The whole experience was just so magical. Everything from the wonderful staff helping us pick out menu items, to the sake flight, to the gigantic and gorgeous ramen bowls, was perfection ❤️❤️❤️“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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 🤤“

“Always fresh and yum!“

“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.“

“A lot of places make artisan donuts, but end up overcomplicating them. Mochinut has a wide selection of mochi donuts that are soft and so very flavorful! It is not necessary to add so much to a donut that it weighs as much as you will once you've eaten it; they have delicious glazes with minimal toppings, and it comes out great!“

“The service is always good and the food is worth the money . Enjoy the food very much. Very good portion size of food . My kids likes it and so do us. The wait is pretty good..“
