Pig & Chick
This mom-and-pop owned Korean restaurant serves up delicious Korean fried chicken, jokbal (pork hock), and other Korean comfort foods at their spot in Main Street Unionville.
Their honey butter is our fave of their Korean fried chicken flavours, and I have yet to try their jokbal, which I’m super curious about!
LOCATION: 190 Main St Unionville Unit 2, Unionville, ON
Sung Won Korean Restaurant
Sung Won is actually located just outside of Main Street Unionville, but it’s definitely worth including!
This friendly, family-owned Korean restaurant is most well-known for their generous banchan (side dish) portions.
You’ll find all the Korean comfort food classics like Pork Bone Soup and Bibimbap.
You always get generous portions of 4 different side dishes: potato salad, fish cakes, kimchi, and glass noodles!

NextDoor Restaurant
You’ll find modern and seasonal Canadian dishes with a twist at NextDoor, and they even have brunch almost everyday of the week.
I love how unique their dishes are, and they’ve got creations like their French Onion Cheeseburger and Fried Chicken & Caviar!
They even have an epic brunch tower ($58 for 2 or $110 for 4) if you’re looking to go all out with brunch.
They even have their own parking lot, which is a rarity in Main Street Unionville.
NextDoor is actually a sister restaurant to the popular Markham brunch spot, Smash Kitchen and Bar!

They have a super nice patio that’s perfect for hanging out with your friends, and it’s even heated for those chillier summer nights.
A historic 1800s building used to sit here before a fire broke out in 2008, which was once a blacksmith shop, auto repair garage, playhouse, York Region’s first movie theatre, restaurant, general store, and post office!
LOCATION: 189 Main St Unionville, Unionville, ON

Enjoy traditional and modern Indian dishes at Ambiyan, with options like Butter Chicken and Brie Cheese Pakora.
You’ll also find plenty of vegetarian and vegan options, which is great for my plant-eating friends!
Their lunch specials are also pretty good, ranging from $14 to $19.

They serve up some of the freshest sashimi in town, and they have all kinds of authentic Japanese dishes on the menu.
They’ve also got delicious cooked dishes like Yakionigiri (grilled rice balls), Black Cod Misozuke (grilled black cod), and Seared Foie Gras & Scallop!
If you’re a fan of tasting menus, they offer set menus during holidays like Valentine’s Day and Christmas, perfect for sampling a bunch of different Japanese dishes (and sushi!)
My family and I visited for my dad’s birthday and tried the Christmas set menu, and the sushi was definitely our favourite part of the entire meal.
The interior of the restaurant is also lovely, with plenty of booth seating!
If you’re familiar with restaurants in Richmond Hill and Markham, you might remember their sister restaurant Inatei, which sadly shut down years ago!
Hibiki is actually located right next door to Platform Espresso Bar, which is an adorable coffee shop in Markham that also serves great brunch.

Huge thanks!

Hi Lorna, I’d recommend Il Postino for Italian or NextDoor for unique fusion dishes, but definitely check their hours closer to then to see if they’ll be open! Enjoy your trip 🙂
