Started coming here for a few years now for gathering with friends or dinner with the family. Summary: The boss lady ajumma is very nice and friendly and food is quite decent. The decor is very plain. But coming here isn't about decor, rather the food and service. Ordered seafood pancake numerous times and it's tasty and filling. I even dared to eat the army stew with ramyeon (I don't eat that spicy). Lol! Overall experience is good! Just harder now to bring my kid out, even though the ajumma is quite accommodating. read more

The resto is actually big enough to fit large parties! Came w/ a large group of friends after a saturday badminton session. You have to kinda enter from a sketchy back entrance. The server wasn't the friendliest but she was prompt when we needed her which was good. The portion sizes are nice and big. They have pork bone soup which uses the traditional spine of the pig but they also have pork and pork ribs soup (which they're always sold out of .... sad face). You can get your gamjatang w/ noodles though which is cool. I liked the flavour of the supreme chicken but it's a shame that the chicken wasn't that crispy. I say this with all honesty. The chicken was slightly overcooked because while the meat wasn't dry, it certainly wasn't juicy either. The taste was on point though. 4 stars overall (5 if the chicken had been crispy). Will be back for sure because of those huge portions! read more

Updated review July 2025. I visited Onnuri to have lunch. The food was just as good as the first time. The bulgogi dupbob had a generous portion of beef and veggies. The fried egg on top was cooked medium well. I like the egg yolk runny so you can spread it on the rice. The Goma fried chicken was juicy and crispy. The sauce has some red and green chilies to give some bite. Overall great meal and service was friendly. They give you 5% discount if you pay cash. If you want some authentic Korean food pull up here. There's outdoor patio too. read more

Came back here for some takeout - one of our favorite Korean restaurants. Service is always friendly. We got our typical stir fried squid and vegetables with rice and fried egg. Always great spicy sauce and all the veges are cooked well. Egg on top is always delicious to break the yolk into the rice. 5/5. We also got the seafood jajangmyun - love the black bean sauce and the noodles. Fresh cucumbers on top and a hard boiled egg. 5/5. read more

Side dishes - Kimchi, Braised potatoes, Bean sprouts - All very good, but like the braised potatoes the most! Pork Cutlet - Labelled as a 'side' but definitely a meal in itself. Batter was nice and crispy. Pork dry but good with sauce. Nice to try. Korean fried chicken - Pickled Jalapeno - A unique flavour for fried chicken, sweet and creamy, but also slightly sour and spicy. Most of the meats in this fried chicken was dark meat, great choice! Would get the fried chicken again, but not my favourite flavour. Beef Dolsot Bimbimbap - A pretty standard stone rice bowl. Their red sauce is perfect mix of spice, sweetness and umami! Would get again! Will come again to grab fried chicken and try the pork bone soup! read more

Wow, this restaurant is awesome. We tried their supreme fried chicken, JajangMyun (black bean pork noodle), and the GamJaTang (pork bone soup). The Supreme fried chicken was amazing. Sometimes fried chicken can be a bit dry, but this was super juicy and tender. The sauce was nice too, but next time, I would probably get the sauce on the side so I can control how much sauce I have on it. The JajangMung was good, but it tasted kinda like regular spaghetti. It might just be me and that I am not used to this dish. The GamJa Tang was great. Probably one of the better pork bone soups I have had. The lady who runs the restaurant is so friendly and kind. Really great. The food takes a. It of time to get to your table, but I chalk this up to them taking their time to get the food done right. Highly recommend! read more

Onnuri Korean Restaurant in Scarborough is an established place Korean cuisine. The menu offers a great variety of dishes, from flavorful bibimbap to sizzling galbi (grilled short ribs), all prepared with fresh ingredients and savory flavours. The portions are generous, and the banchan (side dishes) are always a delightful addition. The atmosphere is plain, however, attentive service makes up for it. It's a place for a casual meal or family gathering. Whether you're a Korean food lover or new to the cuisine, Onnuri is worth a visit if you happen to be in the area. Cheers! read more

Very humble, unpretentious and lowkey spot that serves home-style korean food. Their menu is not overly ambitious, but instead is very authentic and cozy. They really know how to control their flavours so that it isn't overpowering, big portions and fair value for the amount of food you get. Good, attentive service as well. It's an extremely quiet placement read more

Extensive menu with delicious Korean dishes ranging from soups, to rice dishes to fried chicken. The lady who served us was so delightful and cheery. We had a great meal and will be back again! read more

OMG, this place is just awesome. Their chicken is just fantastic. Awesomely done. You have to come here for a pilgrimage if you love Korean fried chicken. I only tried their Sauce Chicken and I am determined to go back next time for other flavors. They also have those very traditional pork bone soups. They use pretty good ingredients. Packed with lots of traditional Korean flavor in it, and the meat has been braised for a very long time. So tender. Hot soup paired with fluffy white rice. What else could be better to have in the cold winter? Well, maybe a couple of Korean Soju or green plum wine. And of course, the meal comes with those complementary side dishes, pickles, kimchi, sweet potato, and bean sprouts. Can't wait to go back! read more

Parking is a bit of a nightmare at this plaza when it's busy but not bad if you come for an early dinner. Service is quick and the menu is fairly straight forward. I always get cold noodles here. I like the soup base and it's really refreshing. The banchans are good but not really ones I personally like. I only eat the kimchi We tried the tteokbokki today. It was pretty spicy and I really like the rice cakes. Super chewy!! It came with some veggies, fish cake and glass noodles too. Definitely not a side dish size. I could order this as my meal next time haha read more

My new hood. Has to check out the spinny wheel at onnuri - Korean bar with a karaoke stage and blasting kpop music. Sadly kept it sober. Chicken (supreme & gold cheese) $23 per order I'm not sure what's in the supreme wings but they slapped like gar par with the signature Korean red sauce. Seafood udon (can skip), but they had loads of seafood. So if you love clams, mussels, shrimps there was at least a pound inside. Snow fries $7 fries with cheese powder. Beef tataki - not seasoned well, and too thick. We actually got this for free from spinning their prize wheel which you get if you spend over $50 I think?? Would go back, if I was already hammered tbh. read more

I've ordered from Onnuri a few times and I've never been disappointed with the food. Today, I ordered original Korean fried chicken, sauce chicken and tteokbokki for take out. It came with kimchi side dish, fish cake, and cubed radish. I find the portion sizes at Onnuri to be pretty big compared to other fried chicken places. I am always really full. In terms of the food itself - can't complain. The original chicken is my favourite - it is crispy and just delicious. The sauce chicken is a combination of sweet and spicy and enjoyable too. The tteokbokki has good spice to it. I've mainly ordered fried chicken from here, but I look forward to trying other dishes too. read more

This place has one of the best Korean fried chicken! Their pieces are always huge and juicy, never dry. This time we decided to be more adventurous and tried the black sesame fried chicken. The black sesame sauce is sweet (similar to black sesame desserts) and thick, while the chicken still remained crispy and juicy. I think you will enjoy it if you like sweet Korean fried chicken and black sesame desserts. The budae jjigae was my favourite. Loved the creaminess the American cheese adds to the soup. It was enough to satisfy three of us. read more

We ordered Gamjatang, Soondaeguk, King donkatsu and seafood pancakes through UberEats for a Mother's day dinner last night and the food was better than I had expected. I was a bit hesitant to order Soondaeguk (blood sausage soup) as most restaurants I've tried this dish in (at least in Toronto) have served up a poor version of this robust soup but I was pleasantly surprised by Onnuri's version. This hearty soup was brimming with substance (lots of sliced pigs ear, blood sausage slices and organ meats) in a broth that was so well-balanced with all my favourite Korean spices and herbs (perilla leaves, ground wild perilla seed with tons of green onion and asian chives). I will definitely be thinking about this soup for a while. Gamjatang also fared very well although at first glance, we thought it would be on the mild side as the broth looked fairly clear. This soup was also very well executed with cleaner yet flavourful broth with generous amount of fall off the bone pieces with an obligatory potato and napa cabbage. The katsu was your standard thinner pieces of pork in panko crumb. Your average katsu but nothing to write home about. The seafood pancake arrived a bit soggy (as expected) but a quick re-fry on a oiled pan did the trick and was tasty. Our overall first experience at Onnuri was pretty good so we're planning to try out their fried chicken for delivery next time! read more

Came here with a friend for dinner, as this was both our first times here. I usually have my set of go-to Korean restaurants but felt like trying something different for a change. We shared the tok tok chicken and a kimchi jigae. The highlight of the meal was hands down the chicken. It was so saucy and had a delicious balance of sweet with a bit of spice. The chicken was also hugeeee (my picture doesn't do it justice) and so meaty. It was really satisfying. The kimchi jigae was meh in my opinion. It was what you would expect but nothing mind blowing. The prices are fair. What I didn't really like was that everything was served with disposable dishes and cutlery, which took away from the dining experience. I appreciated getting gloves to eat the chicken though. All in all, solid place for Korean food. read more

Love this cozy neighbourhood Korean restaurant! Very down to earth restaurant with a variety of Korean dishes. Tried the Pork Bone Soup with Udon and they were very generous with the meat. The meat was also very tender, just came off the bone easily. Service is attentive and nice. Definitely recommend as there aren't many Korean restaurants in the area. read more

Stumbled upon this location craving some Korean fried chicken. The small parking lot definitely does not have enough spaces to accommodate all the restaurants in the plaza but fortunately got a spot quickly. Ordered the original flavour and the supreme chicken along with an order of gganpoong gi. Side dishes were decent but nothing noteworthy. Note that the original flavour does not come with green onion or dipping sauce like the picture shows, which was a little disappointing. The original flavour was decent but tasted a little over cooked and dry for some pieces. The supreme flavour was much better taste wise , but could definitely benefit from a little less sauce, as it can get quite heavy the further in you get. The garlic flavour really comes through. Service was pretty disappointing as the waitresses spent most of the time hiding in the back area talking and eating. When we did get their attention to ask for napkins, they came back with 1 napkin for 3 people. Overall not a bad option if you're in the area but would likely not return. read more

The weather has got me mad craving for some spicy soup I got the Seafood JeonGol at Onnuri because I was feeling under the weather and wanted something to warm me up. It was definitely what I needed as the soup was full of flavours and had the right amount of spiciness. The hot pot was also loaded with seafood such as crab, mussels, shrimps, fish fillet, octopus, and lots of veggies. However, given the portion size, I felt that it was a bit too pricey. It was only enough for the two of us and it cost $42.99. Also, the service was extremely slow as it was very difficult to flag down the waiter. We were also left sitting there waiting for over 15mins before the hot pot arrived, while they could have served us some complimentary side dishes then, instead of serving them when the hot pot arrived. read more

I got their small - Army soup take out and it was warm and very good. I wish they had fill up the soup a bit more so my ramen (which they packed on the side ) would be able to soak in it more. I also got their Goma Chicken which was recommended, it was also very flavourful, but a bit on the saltier side. Other than that everything was good and I would try their other menu items in the future. read more

Our usual spot for Korean food had a line out the door so we took the opportunity and discovered this place for a late lunch. We appreciated the variety on the menu unlike our usual spot. We ordered the fried chicken, bibimbap, pork cutlet, jajangmyeon (black bean noodles) and yookgaejang (spicy beef soup with vegetable and noodle). The fried chicken was so juicy! It was not oily and did not feel heavy on the stomach. As for the bibimbap, it tasted pretty standard except that the rice was a tad over cooked and so it had a mushier texture. The pork cutlet was on the dry side so the dipping sauce that came with it was necessary. The yookgaejang was tasty, and it wasn't that spicy. The star of the meal though was definitely the jajangmyeon. The noodles were perfectly cooked and the sauce was not overly salty which can be the case with black bean sauces. The server was also friendly and attentive throughout our meal. We were served extra kimchi and radish without needing to ask. Would visit again for more jajangmyeon and to try the other items on the menu! read more

This is a small-ish restaurant in a plaza I've passed by a million times but never stopped at. There's daily specials written on a board with social media specials such as posting on instagram and receiving a pop. Instead of ordering two separate meals we went with the one item that included a small order of spicy pork and a pork bone soup with a bowl of rice. Both of the pork dishes were flavourful and the spice level wasn't overwhelming. read more

Onnuri had a facelift several months back. I decided to try this place since I was in the area. It was a weekend and there was no parking because there was an event at the banquet hall next door. I had to park across the street under the hydro field. The appetizers are standard Korean dishes, and always appreciated. I tried the Unagi Dolsot Bibimbap as the main. I felt like it was a small portion. I was still hungry after eating here. There's also daily specials posted on the wall. I didn't feel like this was really worth it. The service was slow, they weren't that busy. There's no tea/water refills. The restaurant is clean, but overall nothing special. read more

Even though there's no lack of Korean restaurants in Toronto, I still get excited whenever a new one opens up. So when I happened to be in the area with my family, I immediately suggested that we try this place out. The menu astonished me in how extensive it was. I thought the pages would never end! Traditional Korean stews and rice dishes? Fusion Korean Chinese like jajangmyun? Family style hot pots? Samgyeopsal? Yes, yes, yes, and yes. After a few excruciating minutes, we finally decided on the bibimbap and cold noodles. I was happy to find that the prices seemed to be quite a bit lower than what has been the norm lately. Unfortunately, it became obvious that they compensated with smaller portions and honestly, a considerably poorer quality of food. The bibimbap was 90% rice - although the purple rice was nice, we had to eat it with banchan for it to even actually resemble a proper dish. The noodles were alright, but the spicy sauce was extremely sad. Watery and almost tasteless, it basically sunk into the bottom of the bowl instead of mixing with the noodles. Environment-wise, there was nothing fancy - the typical Korean restaurant decor (metal chopsticks, self serve water, k-pop music). We came at an off-peak time and service was pretty much non-existent. At times, it was difficult even locating the waitress in the small restaurant. They did make a bit more effort towards the end, asking about the food and thanking us when we left. The reason that this is a 3-star review and not lower is that I'd like to give them a chance. The sheer variety on the menu likely means that not everything will be done well - hopefully they figure out (or Yelp figures out lol) what their best dishes are. I'll be waiting to return for that. :) read more

We wanted to try a new Korean restaurant and Onnuri came up on our recommendation. They are known to serve classic Korean dishes, as well as Korean Fried Chicken as well. When we placed our order on the phone, the worker was very polite, and patient when we were deciding what to order. She said it would take 10 mins, so we didn't have to wait long at all. I ordered Gamjatang, and I was very impressed with the taste overall. Even though it was a little saltier than what I'd usually have, there was a good balance between spiciness & taste. I was also surprised how big the pork pieces were as I was able to get big chunks. I only wish they gave more side dishes as the other restaurants usually gave more, and more soup since it wasn't filled to the top in the container. They will be launching a new website to place orders online soon, so I look forward to trying it when I order from them again. read more

Wow price point and food. I have to admit that I did check yelp before heading to this place. It is not news but Scarborough does not exactly inhabit the most Koreans and so, the city itself lacks quite a bit of good Korean joints. Onnuri was definitely an eye opener. For my craving, I checked relentlessly for a restaurant open at the dinner hour and thought I would give this place a try. The entrance to this restaurant in the plaza is almost literally a hole in the wall. It's located on the back of the front-facing shops. We had the option of dining on the patio or in the restaurant. Personally, I would have opted for the dining room but we chose the patio due to my partner's preference. We ordered a black sauce fried chicken to share and I ordered the regular: kimchi jigae. I realized that the pricing of their food on their online menu was very reasonable. Almost as reasonable as prior to the pandemic. Both my partner and I were really impressed by the portion size and food. As always, we adored the side dishes that came with the soups and bibimbap. The kimchi jigae, I would say, is pretty average. There was not much to write home about. You had your standard: fatty pork, kimchi, rice cakes, and also spring onions. I was however, pleasantly surprised as they provided a bowl of purple rice! Honestly, at this price point, I was not expecting much. The black sauce chicken was a interesting. I think it is for those who enjoy sweet foods. The sauce included grounded black sesame and really resemble that Chinese dessert with, surprise surprise, black sesame. My partner thoroughly enjoyed the paste as this was really right up his alley. Personally, I will return for more savoury flavours. Overall, this place is really a neighbourhood kind of joint. What I mean by that is that it is somewhere I would go probably regularly because the food is pretty good with awesome value and has a great environment for relaxing and chatting with friends. read more

Our go to Korean chicken place. Little family run business that have been there long time. Friendly service.

Onnuri offers a good selection of Korean food including all the traditional dishes. The food was above average, but nothing stood out. My order comprised of Bulgogi, Jae Yook Bokum, Soontofu soup, and Pajeon. All dishes except the Pajeon came with a bowl of rice. The order also came with side dishes of Kimchi and fish cake. The dishes had good portions, it will satisfy cravings! read more

We are definitely coming back to try more of the delicious Korean food! read more

Pros: Good variety in menu Homey feel to restaurant Cons: Nothing will amaze you here My wife has been into watching a lot of Korean content on youtube and has developed a craving for Korean food lately. Scarborough doesn't have a ton of options for Korean so when we do find a place, we definitely try it out. Onnuri is tucked away in a small plaza that you would normally pass by without a thought. There is ample parking in the back. However, it does share a lot with a banquet hall so if you come during a function of any sort, it might be tough to find parking. I like the feel of this restaurant. It really has a nice homey feel. The tables aren't too close to each other. They're nice and big so you never feel squished. The washrooms were kept very clean and spacey as well. It was a restaurant, but it did it's best to not make you feel you were in one if you know what I mean. The menu has a wide variety of Korean dishes to choose from. On the walls, there are daily specials to choose from as well. There's also some mix and match combos that you can pick if you want more than just one entree. Big eaters like me will appreciate that. The food is here will get the job done. That's the best way I can put it. Nothing we ordered really amazed us. It will fulfill your needs but I think you will find better versions elsewhere. In the end, if you're craving Korean, this place is not a bad option at all. If you live around Pharmacy and McNicoll, this is a pretty good option for Korean. It's probably the only option for that general area as well. It won't be the best you've ever had, but a solid option nonetheless. read more

So, my significant other and parked our car at the lot across the street. On the bright side, I'm glad there's finally a good Korean restaurant in the area! [SERVICE] - 5/5 The servers were very friendly & one gentleman (I think he's the owner) checked up on our table and genuinely seemed like he cared about our feedback.

I was super excited to try out this new korean spot, because they offered the lunch box which is something I miss from Korea dearly. We were a group of four and we ordered: 1. Budae jjigae: very mediocre, the soup didn't have much taste besides the kimchi that was inside. $25.99 2. Gamjatang: I've had much better Gamjatang in other places in toronto, there was only 5 pieces of pork bone, where at other places the individual portions already offer 3 pieces. $28.99 3. Lunch box: there was only 4 small slices of ham , and an egg and kimchi. This normally would've cost $2 in Korea, vs $12 here. I just felt like for what it was, it was way overprice. Overall, food was mediocre but it was just overprice. read more

Onnuri - Spicy chicken (i forgot what the actual name is), original fried chicken - Korean Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Replacing the old skewers spot, Onnuri offers wide array of Korean dishes, highlighted by weekly specials and really specialized items! What We Got: Wednesday's daily special Spicy Chicken with rice. Rice cake noodles. What We Liked: rice cake noodles were solid. Spicy chicken had moderate heat, and enjoyable (even though I was hoping for something crispier... Think I craved Korean fried chicken but ordered non-fried chicken. Ah well) What We Didn't: service was decent but not spectacular - I think it depends on who is working. Ga Bin sets the standards for free apps with glass noodles so whenever a place doesn't have that, I'm a bit let down. That's just nitpicking though! What We'd Get Next: ...well those special items look bomb but are also pricey. Need a group to do it. $40+... For "empire" dishes, whether it's beef or Korean style bacon or giant soups.
