New Korean restaurants in Toronto are serving up K-classics with their own unique twists that any fan of the Asian cuisine needs to taste to believe.

Bulgogi, tteokbokki, bibmbap, oh my! Whether these restaurants serve old standards done right or elevated Korean-fusion creations, they're a breath of fresh, kimchi-scented air on the city's culinary scene.

Here are the new Korean restaurants in Toronto that you need to try.

Daldongnae Chinatown

A familiar — though no less exciting — face on the Toronto food scene, this Korean BBQ chain with 17 locations across Ontario and Quebec has just settled right on Spadina Avenue in Chinatown.

Grill up some seriously good meats served with a bountiful collection of sides at this brand-spankin'-new location.

Bonjuk

This South Korean chain, founded in Daehangno over 20 years ago, has finally made the leap to Toronto, settling with a location at the Yonge and Sheppard Centre.

Here, if you're feeling adventurous, you can try out their signature porridge dishes, which are replete with seafood, or grab a dependable bowl of bibimbap. With over 1000 locations worldwide, they've got to be on to something, right?

Tiger Blues

You wont find anything tired or played-out at this brand-new West Queen West Korean-fusion restaurant.

The cozy spot is flooded with the scents of showstoppers like fries served with a house wasabi dip, Kanpung shrimp dusted with soboro crumble and Sogogi tacos, served alongside some crazy colourful cocktails.

BHC Chicken Toronto

There's a reason why this South Korea fried chicken chain has garnered a worldwide cult following, and Toronto residents finally no longer have to endure a lengthy flight to find out what that is.

Get your fingers sticky with their signature Bburinkle wings or spicy Matcho King Boneless Thighs at their new location at the Wellington Market Food Hall and you'll quickly get the hype.

Omiwol

If luxury is your love language, look no further than this new spot in North York, which triple-ages their beef which, according to their philosophy, brings each unique and distinct element of the meat's flavour to the fore.

If that's not your style, their other signature dishes, like knife-cut noodles, assorted stews and kimchi fried rice will more than fit the bill.
