1. House of Tofu Soup
* Confusing washroom signs *
Ok, the soon doo boo chigae is still excellent. Nothing has changed on that front.
But the confusing men's washroom signs have changed. Gone is the sign that said, "Do not flush toilet paper/pads/tempons(sic)" from the…More »

Still loving this place. Visited tonight for a repeat of the soon doo boo chigae. Just as good… Read more »
2. Young Brothers Produce
Vancouver, BC V6K 2H2
(604) 732-7088
Category:
Fruits & Veggies
Neighbourhood: Kitsilano
This Korean operated green grocer provides consistently fresh inexpensive product. Great stop to prep a quick salad or meal. They have some other basic groceries like milk, eggs, cheese and yogurt as well as some Asian staples. Their organic…More »
3. Korean BBQ Potter's Garden
* Solid Korean offering *
What a huge menu selection! It was hard to choose!
I had the galbijjim-jeongsik. It was a really nice dish. The broth delicately combined the marrow flavour from the bones with a pleasant sweetness and was not overly salty.…More »
4. Hanwoori Korean Restaurant
* Still going strong *
It has been a while since I visited Hanwoori, and I'm glad to report they are still putting out very good Korean food.
Today I had the gori gomtang (oxtail soup). The broth was delicately flavoured - the way it can only be if…More »

Excellent Korean BBQ. They offer grilling at your table, with a high quality of meat, and have a… Read more »
5. Myung-Ga Sonmandoo
* Korean snack food *
This little unassuming spot located in a Korean strip mall offers quick and tasty Korean snack food.
This is a very little spot, with half of the space being taken by an open kitchen with a man handmaking various types of…More »
6. Zabu Chicken
* Good Korean Fried Chicken *
I've been eyeing this new restaurant pretty regularly and waiting until I happened to find it open. They seem to have rather sporadic hours. But I passed by yesterday and the open sign was lit - so in I went.
This is a…More »
7. Da Ri Won Restaurant
Vancouver, BC V5Z 2E2
(604) 731-3274
Category:
Korean
Neighbourhood: South Cambie
* Superb junghwa yori (Korean-Chinese) restaurant *
In the Vancouver area we are lucky to have an incredible variety of Chinese food. On a given day you can get anything from classic Cantonese dim sum to Xinjiang style street food to Huaxi noodles to…More »
8. Happy Day
* Continues to impress *
I've been back several times since my initial review. This spot continues to deliver a very high quality of food overall.
The Korean style fried chicken is amazingly good. They offer a "combo" where you get half with sauce…More »

A very friendly waitress sat me at a booth, gave me a menu and hot tea and… Read more »

Neighbourhood: Downtown
* Fusion that works *
So often fusion fails miserably. After a recent Korean-Mexican fusion fail at Roaming Dragon (http://www.yelp.ca/biz...) I needed to let the Korean Mexican fusion redeem itself. Enter Coma.
These guys do fusion right!
I…More »
10. Wonjo Bbq & Noodle Restaurant
Korean restaurant specializing in kalguksu (knife cut noodles in hotpot). Their broth is superb, and the noodles hold up well to the regular heat from the gas stove built into your table. Their kimchi is flavourful, and doesn't taste overly…More »
11. Kimbap Cheonguk
* Continues to deliver! *
I returned and they have consistently impressed me with the best kimbap I've had in the Vancouver area. Once again the rice was just the right consistency with a hint of sesame oil. The fillings were changed up a little bit…More »

* Simple straightforward Korean spot *
After a fairly unsatisfying lunch snack next door at the… Read more »
12. Restaurant Good Friends
* Wide variety of Korean food *
This spot has a very wide variety on its menu including several types of Korean hotpots, lots of varieties of kimbap, various noodle dishes, and even Korean Japanese western dishes like omelette rice and hamburg steak.…More »
13. Assi Supermarket
* Korean market with many Japanese products too *
This little Korean market offers a nice selection of Korean products as well as a smaller selection of Japanese products mixed in. Prices are pretty reasonable. Makes a perfect stop to pick up a…More »
14. Hanahreum Mart
This is part of the large H-Mart chain of Korean groceries. It has a wide variety of Korean food products and electronics and also offers some other Asian products (mostly from Japan and China). The live seafood section is probably the highlight of…More »
15. Kimbob E Ramyun
Inexpensive Korean snack food. The duk bo gee is similar to those found from Korean street vendors in Seoul. Popular with Korean ESL students. They also offer an internet terminal if you are in need of a quick Yelp fix with your food!
16. Dae Bak Bon Ga Korean Restaurant
*****Warning - crying and whining ahead*****
Have you ever noticed how the majority of Korean places on Robson street have piss poor service? This place is the exception to the rule. I went for lunch today and had a constantly attentive pair (1…More »
17. Madangcoul Korean Restaurant
This is a homestyle casual Korean restaurant. The beef broth used for several of the soups and hotpots is very smooth and gentle. For what it is, this is a decent neighbourhood place. But for truly excellent Korean food you have to head out to…More »
18. Dasarang Chicken
* Inside flesh digested love sticks *
Some things just don't translate well. Things such as the menu of this Korean chicken hof chain.
This is a fairly modern looking and very clean restaurant, with all the markings of a franchise chain.
The walls…More »
19. Ddoo Gau Bee
* Home of reasonably priced Korean fusion cuisines *
Their menu is comprised of Korean Chinese and Korean Japanese style dishes primarily, and feels very similar to some similar type of spots I have been to in Korea.
Located in the heart of the…More »
20. Tai Won
* Korean Chinese *
This little spot specializes in Korean Chinese food. They have a very simple menu with about 8 items.
I had the jajangmyun for lunch. The noodles were perfectly cooked and had a nice chew. The sauce was a little more watery than…More »
21. Woo Lee Jip Korean Restaurant
* Are we on the Korean version of Punked? *
Wandering into this restaurant it seemed welcoming, as the woman working in the front opened the door and invited us in. She then immediately started peppering us with questions, "Are you Korean? Are you…More »
22. Han Nam Supermarket
This is a mid-sized Korean supermarket across North Rd. from the larger and more modern H-Mart. By the side entrance there is a small food counter that offers a selection of Korean food for a quick bite. In the Winter months you can frequently find…More »
23. Mexican Chicken Hof
* Classic Korean hof *
In the heart of the North Road Korean enclave, I stumbled onto this little Korean hof. It is dark, with tall booths, and I could imagine it being a popular hangout at night for snacks. But during the daytime it was empty. I…More »
24. Go Gung Korean BBQ
* Came highly recommended - went highly disappointed *
Ok, so this place came highly recommended as having the best kalbi in the Vancouver area. So I had to try.
The restaurant is located in a suburban strip mall with a supermarket, cafes, banks, etc.…More »
25. The Lunch Bucket Deli
This is a Korean operated deli. The majority of their offerings are standard lunch deli fare, but they sometimes have Korean specials available. Nothing to get really excited about though.
26. Pojang Macha
Overview: Interesting concept, but food could be a lot better.
This is a very unique concept spot for Vancouver - emulating Korean street vendors indoors. They keep the place rather cold so you feel like you are outside, the entire inside is…More »
27. Norboo Korean Restaurant
I've got to agree with several of the recent reviews. The food is just ok here, the service really is pretty bad, the selection of banchan is pretty limited, and overall it just isn't worth a repeat visit. The best dish I've had on their menu is…More »
28. So Gong Dong House of Tofu Soup - CLOSED
Don't confuse this place with the House of Tofu Soup on North Road in Burnaby. The menu looks very similar, but the quality is entirely opposite. While the North Road House of Tofu soup is wonderful, this location offers an overly salty, less…More »

Neighbourhood: Downtown
* Fusion failure *
I have to admit I'm not a huge fan of most fusion attempts, because except in very rare circumstances (like Le Cheval in Oakland in the early 90's) the fusion takes the worst from both worlds and ends up with something just lacking…More »
30. Mr. Paris
This Korean bakery which just recently opened has a very limited selection of items. The pastry do not look particularly well put together, and the breads looked almost unfinished. Some breads that had an egg wash were only partially washed in a…More »
