Very Good Korean Food, Prepare to Wait for Table
July 10, 2014
We came her a couple of times during a visit to Vancouver. We know Korean food (the original) very well, and what we got here was very good.
Getting a table at peak hours is difficult. No reservations.

excellent Korean food
June 25, 2014This was the best fresh Korean food! Kimchee was delicious, the pork bulgogi was sizzling when it arrived to our table. Mondu was prepared without too much oil.

perhaps not worth the hype
June 15, 2014
I went to Sura a few weekends ago for lunch with a bunch of girlfriends. I had heard a lot of good things about it, so I was very excited to try it and to see what the hype was all about.
We had to wait over 45 minutes for a table, as this place was so incredibly busy. And...

Korean BBQ and super trendy ambiance
June 05, 2014This restaurant has a very charming decor. Perfect for chillax with friends or a first date to cause a good impression. Great wine list, wide menu. I ordered Insam Dakgui and was beautifully plated and very tasty. Would definitively come again.

Lunch was an experience
March 12, 2014Came for lunch and was not sure what to expect. Pleasantly surprised with what we had. We ordered the $15 set lunch and everything was delicious. The assortment of goodies came out a la carte to share. Sweet, sour, spicy it was an explosion of flavours in my mouth. What a great little place to try out.

Very enjoyable restaurant
March 08, 2014Vancouver has a few decent sized "Korea Towns" including the downtown area at the bottom of Robson and Denman streets. Sura is one of my favorite Korean places in that area. It is a bit expensive (Korean restaurants are a bit more pricey than others) but this place is worth it. Great atmosphere also if you like places that are... more

Visited twice in our 5 day visit
March 03, 2014I am half Korean so I have tried a lot of Korean bbq, and this was incredible. This place has such a fun atmosphere. Cooking your own bbq can be fun, but when you're hungry and don't wanna smell like bbq... This was a great alternative. The only down side is... No reservations, so in early march when it's cold... more

We tried to get a last minute reservation last Friday but were told we could not as it was full. So we drove there and ended up just walking in and getting a table.....it WAS packed and there... more

Tasty Food
February 02, 2014Visited the other night and found this restaurant lived up to its billing as #1 Korean in Vancouver. Good décor and a fun and friendly place to be. Quite modern and upmarket. A bit pricy but not too bad. For us, the most disappointing thing was that all of the dishes are prepared in the kitchen and brought to the... more

January 16, 2014We live just around the corner, yet this was the first time we tried this place. We had a very nice experience. The service is very efficient and equally friendly.

Fun and deliciously different
December 01, 2013The restaurant was busy. The reasons soon became obvious. The dining experience was both fun and deliciously different. I have had Korean food before. It is not like either Japanese or Chinese, their geographic neighbors. This restaurant gave us a variety of very well prepared Korean foods, very accessible to the western palate (pancakes with seafood or vegetables, dumplings, short... more

Magnificence at a reasonable price
September 11, 2013My wife and I have eaten at Sura several times, but our lunch there this week was remarkable. We had the Lunch Set Course RA at $20/person. Yes, expensive for lunch, but wow what a feast. We had a remarkable variety (and quantity) of Korean delicacies - lunch was a mini-tutorial in Korean cuisine beyond bibimbap and bulgogi. Every dish... more

Very good Korean food
July 21, 2013While visiting from southern California, we decided to try the what appears to be one of the best Korean restaurants in Vancouver. This place did not disappoint. Limited reservations and big crowds on weekends, made us glad that we went for an early dinner at 6. We started out with the kimchee pancakes. They were absolutely delicious. We had Korean... more

July 16, 2013Ordered the bulgogi on top of rice the first time and it was yummy! Big enough for two too. We also had the mackerel meal and it came complete with a miso style soup with meat and rice. We were very satisfied. Went back a second time and ordered the grilled beef ribs and that was excellent! Ordered the bulgogi... more

Very flavourful Korean Barbecue
July 14, 2013
Ate here on Saturday night, very busy and lively, but not loud in any way, and the service was good and attentive.
The food was very good indeed. We had pork dumplings (try #7 on the menu) to die for, and there was a pork Bulgogi that was outstanding for it's tangy flavour - pretty spicey too. Bibimap was good,...

West End treasure
June 19, 2013Great atmosphere, terrific service and superb food. If you are new to Korean food try the lunch and dinner combo specials. The restaurant is a terrific value. We stayed at a place two blocks away and while there are so many restaurants to explore in West End we went back several times to try different menu items.

February 23, 2013We ate at Sura and were satisfied with our experience there. The waitress was friendly and quick, and the food was reasonably good.

Good food great service
December 10, 2012You can get all the classic Korean dish favorites here. We got our bibim bop, bolgogi ( Korean pork BBQ ) and classic fermented appetizers like Kim chee, egg plant and soy beans. Wow dish? Pork belly....yum we wish we ordered the large. During a cold winter night...great place to be in.

Good but not great
July 13, 2012The food was good, but the service was not so great. There were 3 menu items that we ordered that were not available. Toward the end of our meal our waitress went home and it took a very long time for us to get someone to bring us our check.

Horrible Service

We tried to call them over but they were no where near sight. Maybe they needed more waiters that day. Once the food came out, we noticed... more
