As a Vancouver-living girlie, I’m super grateful to have so many amazing Korean food spots in the Lower Mainland. Whether you’re craving BBQ, fried chicken, or comforting stews, here’s my 2024 top 3 Korean restaurant picks that you need to try!
1. Sooda Korean BBQ
This is one of my go-to spots after school since it’s located near BCIT. It’s perfect for groups of 2–4 people. It can get a bit busy at night, so if you can, the best time to visit Sooda is between 3–4 PM. It’s not too crowded and perfect for catching up with friends. The food is amazing too!
Must-try: Butter Mayo Sooda Box and Sooda Fries.
Address: V5C 3Z6 British Columbia, Burnaby, Lougheed Hwy.

2. Todak Todak
Todak Todak is one of the most affordable and charming Korean restaurants I often visit. I love its warm and cozy atmosphere. However, my favorite thing about this spot is their Spicy Cheese Rice Cake. They torch the cheese, giving it a unique and memorable flavor. I never skip ordering this dish whenever I come here!
Must-try: Sweet Potato Croquette, Spicy Cheese Rice Cake
Address: 3510 Kingsway, Vancouver, BC V5R 5L6
3. Ole Chicken
I’ve been going to Ole Chicken since high school, and this spot will always have a special place in my heart. I love how they always play the best K-pop music inside. The staff are very friendly—I even celebrated my birthday here once, and they were so supportive! The food is amazing too.
Must-try: Half and Half Yangnyeom – Soy Garlic Boneless Chicken
Address: 1256 Robson St, Vancouver, BC V6E 1C1
