Korean Restaurant · West End · 35 tips and reviews
I R: My favourite Korean restaurant in Vancouver, possibly even better than some of the Korean restaurants in Korea. The quality, and flavours here really stand out. The galbi (short ribs) are awesome.
Korean Restaurant · Downtown Vancouver · 11 tips and reviews
I R: Korean soul food. Fried pork cutlet, rice, coleslaw, gravy. What more can you ask for? Well, the kimchi fried rice, and the kimchi jjigae (soup) are also very very good.
I R: Their ddeok-guk (rice cake soup) is the best I've tasted in Vancouver. They do the traditional Korean quite well. The pan fried mackerel (Godeungeoh-gui) is tasty.

I R: Brave? Try the Buldak Chicken - the menu says "the spicy cannot be controlled" so don't say they don't warn you. It comes with gloves, and it's incredibly spicy, but really delicious.
