Vancouver is now home to a brand new Time Out Market—a food and cultural hub that brings the best of the city together under one roof. The Market showcases Vancouver's best chefs, restaurateurs, drinks and cultural experiences—all based on Time Out’s editorial curation.
Vancouver is very good at Korean food. And we’re not just talking about barbecue, although there’s plenty of glorious meat-meets-tabletop-grill action happening around town.
The city’s Korean dining scene covers old-school comfort food, specialist soup shops, pocha-style late-night eating, fried chicken, polished contemporary restaurants and ambitious chefs giving familiar flavours entirely new wardrobes. Recent openings have made the field even more interesting, while longtime favourites continue to prove exactly why they’ve lasted.
Whether you’re chasing a restorative bowl of gomtang, exceptional galbi or chicken with a crunch audible from the next table, start here.
