Restaurant Awards 2024: The Best Korean Restaurants in Vancouver

The Best Korean Restaurants in Vancouver (and Beyond) 2024

Gold: Jejudo

This may be Jejudo’s very first year on our list, but this cozy Korean spot didn’t need beginner’s luck to earn its gold: it was the raw marinated crab, spicy braised monkfish, beef tartar stone pot rice and high-quality Korean BBQ dishes that impressed our judges.

4501 North Rd., Burnaby

Silver: Zoomak

Lunch hero Zoomak (the 12-course tasting tray almost always sells out) gets silver: the spicy-sweet KFC, indulgent Korean pancake and fresh and fun lettuce wraps consistently delight.

Bronze: Hanwoori

Bronze goes to Hanwoori for delicious banchan, kimchi stew and ggorigom tang (oxtail and bone marrow broth with noodles); “Make sure to have a group big enough for both BBQing and hot pot at the same time,” advised one judge.

5740 Imperial St., Burnaby

Shiny and soulful Jess’ in Kerrisdale and bibimbap star Sura on Robson each get the honourable mention nod.
