Bibimbap Toronto

The Best Bibimbap in Toronto

The best bibimbap in Toronto brings this soul-warming medley of rice, meat and veggies together in a hot stone pot. Takeout means you won’t get the sizzling component that comes with the dolsot experience, but this Korean bowl of wonders will hit the spot any way with its ingredients and a vibrant addition of gochujang. 

Here’s the best bibimbap in Toronto.

As its name suggests, this "riceteria" on Eglinton West prides itself on its mixed rice meals. Their versions come on white or brown rice, with eight veggies and your choice of protein on top. They’ve also developed their own hot sauces with varying levels of spice.

This Korean mini-chain has expanded to three locations since it first opened in Koreatown in 2001. While tofu is the specialty here, the bibimbap with beef, zucchini, egg and bean sprouts remains a fan favourite.

Young Lee is cooking up a menu of homey eats from her Korean takeout spot at Yonge and Lakeshore. That includes bibimbap with your choice of beef or chicken, served with Lee’s housemade sauces like spicy bibimbap or sesame soy.

The bright green facade of this popular Koreatown restaurant has stood as a beacon for bimbimbap since it opened more than a decade ago. You’ll find an assortment of the classic options running for $15.99 and less.

Naengmyeon noodles are the claim to fame at this comfortable Thornhill spot but nearly everything on the menu is good, including their jangjorim bibimbap with beef flank instead of basic sliced beef.


Chaban

The Queensway has this quiet gem for sizzling hot plates, where nearly everything on the menu makes you want to book a flight to Korea, stat. Their signature chaban dolsot bibimbap brings veggies and beef together in the most satisfying way.
