York’s Korean restaurant scene is newer and smaller than its Thai or Chinese scenes, concentrated around Swinegate, Walmgate and Fossgate. Here are four worth seeking out.

Omoni House sits right on The Shambles, York’s most famous medieval street, a Korean restaurant serving one of the city’s highest-footfall tourist spots.

A 4.7-star average across 307 reviews shows it’s built a strong reputation despite the intense competition for attention on that particular street.

Bulgogi Korean & BBQ, on Swinegate, specialises in Korean barbecue and grilled dishes – the clue is in the name – alongside the wider range of Korean cooking.

A 4.7-star average across 232 reviews reflects a strong early reputation for York’s Korean barbecue offering.

Little Asia sits on Walmgate, among York’s cluster of independent Asian restaurants, with a Korean menu covering the format’s usual range of stews, grilled dishes and banchan side plates.

A 4.7-star average across 414 reviews makes it one of the better-reviewed Korean options in the city.
