Midam Korean Restaurant in Vancouver offers a casual dining experience rooted in familiar Korean flavours with a few modern updates. The restaurant serves a broad menu that includes soups, stews, fried chicken, pasta dishes, and shaved ice desserts, making it a reliable option for comforting Korean fare.
A recent visit focused on several newer additions to the menu. The Galbi Tang arrives in a hot stone bowl filled with bone-in beef short ribs, glass noodles, and green onion. The broth stays clear yet delivers a deeply savoury flavour, allowing the natural richness of the beef to come through. The short ribs cook until tender, breaking apart easily and making the dish especially warming and filling.
The Mala Fried Chicken brings heat and texture to the table. Crispy fried chicken is coated in a spicy mala sauce with Sichuan pepper that adds a gentle numbing effect. The coating holds their crunch well, and the seasoning stays balanced without overpowering the chicken.
The Ginseng Chicken Soup offers a more restrained option inspired by traditional samgye-tang. A whole young chicken is stuffed with sticky rice and jujube, then simmered in a light ginseng broth. The flavour remains subtle, with herbal notes that develop gradually, making it a good choice for diners looking for something nourishing rather than heavy.
Midam Korean Restaurant continues to build on classic dishes with thoughtful updates, keeping the menu grounded in comfort while offering variety for repeat visits.
Midam Korean Restaurant is lcoated at 3211 W Broadway, Vancouver, BC.
