9 Best Korean Food Restaurants in Vancouver.

  • Spicy Rice Cake
  • Fried Chicken

Let’s see how people review this restaurant

"Food- delicious korean Mexican fusion, with variety of options.
*Bulgogi burrito- good meal size. Looks small but heavy. Comes with a few chips, though were a tad stale. i would get this again.
*3 tacos (shrimp, bulgogi and Kalbi) - prefer Bulgogi, meat soft and tender. Shrimp was lightly fried, slightly a little watery, but overall good,  Kalbi tasted similar to Bulgogi, but the meat was chewier.
* rice cakes on the sticks- one soy, and one spicy. I can live without these carbs. If I can handle spicy, I prefer that one, slightly more flavor.

Service- fair, nice.
Ambiance - handful of seats, inside and outside. Though outside (Early April) was pretty cold and dirty at the time.
Locations next to Chinatown train station, directly across from Rogers arena, facing Expo Blvd. Super easy by foot if you're in downtown. Less than a minute walk to Costco, so consider eating here with next Chinatown Costco trip!
Value- fair!
Recommend- YES!"—Helene L.
"New to Korean fusion but I am a big fan of burritos. Tacofino has been a lunch time favorite of mine, but I wanted to try something new. Visited TAKO for the first time today intending to try the Bulgogi Burrito.  I ended up trying BBQ Short Rib Burrito on recommendation of the person serving me. I was very impressed! The BBQ Short Rib Burrito was big on taste and filling. I will definitely be back to try some of their other offerings."—Christian C.
"Have seen a few stores that have done the Korean/Mexican fusion idea, but none in Vancouver that execute as well as TAKO. Nestled right by the south western entrance of Stadium Chinatown Skytrain Station, this place is great option for takeout on the way over to a meeting or on the way home. The bulgogi burrito is a nice balance of all the delicious Korean meats in flavours packed into a burrito (everything from kimchi, corn, lettuce, cheese + the meat of your choice). For $12 they are packing a lot into this meal and I was pretty content after one of these burritos I got to-go. Happy hour is 2-5pm from Monday to Friday, so if you're curious, you can try them out between these hours. They need to definitely think about adding kimchi fries for a perfect combo! Overall, great place for takeout due to close proximity to the Skytrain. Can't comment on the indoor dining experience but can say it's very convenient to pack while commuting -- no utensils required!"—Justin K.

Let’s see how people review this restaurant

"Good korean bistro vibe, really big dine in space indoors. The fried chicken was good and comes with fried rice cakes (which was actually my favourite part, more than the chicken!). The only thing missing are the amount of side dishes. They could have served them right at the beginning. But I get the side dishes only comes with the combo sets, which we got the Salisbury steak and pork. The combos also come with rice as well. Overall, not a bad spot for Korean bistro fair. I would go back again."—Bill L.
"It was a great night with very delicious food,  warm and friendly staff and good prices.  We ordered 3 dishes. Big portions!   thank you"—Banafshe A.
"You can't tell from the outside, but on the inside the place is gigantic. On the immediate left is a smaller more cozy dining area. Further in is a much larger and open dining area perfect for large parties and celebrations. Service was polite but not too efficient. Several times we were trying to flag down our server but had difficulty finding him. The food was tasty! piping hot and full of flavour. We will definitely return here!"—Allison K.
