The Spotlight on KOKO! Share Bar

Korean Flavors with a Trendy Twist in the Heart of Yorkville

Stylish and intimate, KOKO! Share Bar brings a modern Korean dining experience to the upscale Yorkville neighborhood of Toronto. Just a short ride from many of the city's major concert venues, this smart casual spot specializes in authentic Korean dishes with a contemporary edge—think kimchi pancakes, bulgogi tacos, and sizzling stone bowls. The warm, minimalist decor and cozy layout make it a favorite for locals and visiting foodies alike.

Why Concert-goers love it

Located within easy reach of major downtown venues, KOKO! Share Bar is a popular pre-show stop thanks to its shareable plates and speedy, attentive service. The atmosphere is lively without being loud, so it’s easy to have a great conversation before heading to a performance. Many guests note that the food comes out quickly, making it ideal if you're on a tight concert schedule. Plus, the creative cocktails and sake list offer just the right buzz to kick off a fun night out.

Who this Restaurant is great for

What People Say

Reviewers rave about the bold flavors, especially the kimchi fried rice and spicy pork belly. Many note the excellent service, with staff who are friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient. Guests also appreciate the stylish interior and the fact that it never feels too crowded, even when busy. The cocktail menu gets high marks for originality and balance. Several reviews mention how the share plates make it easy to try a range of dishes without committing to one big entrée.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests noted that the space is on the smaller side, so tables can feel a bit tight during peak hours. A few diners mentioned that prices are on the higher end, though most agree the quality justifies the cost. Reservations are recommended, especially on concert nights.

KOKO! Share Bar is a stylish, flavor-packed spot that’s perfect for concert-goers looking to fuel up with great food and energy before the music starts.
