The staff was absolutely wonderful, and the food was probably the best food I have had in a very long time. Everything had the perfect amount of spice to it.
Excellent service and value! The quality of their side dishes and main dishes are all impressive, service is prompt and courteous, and the overall vibe and cleanliness is stellar. I would return here and would highly recommend it!
We are curious though, what's in the $200/person set course meal?
Hello foodie friends! Lil’ bun was away for almost two months and the first thing she wanted to come back was some Asian food so where better to go than Sura?. Sura is one of the best places to go for Korean food in Vancouver. I’ve been to the downtown location a couple of times before at their downtown location but this was my first time at the Richmond one. As with the one downtown, there was a large line outside the restaurant when we arrived around 1pm on a Saturday. It took us 20 mins to get in but our food came quickly so we didn’t mind too much.
The food is great- try the kimchi , egg omelette, beef . They are very delicious and flavorful. Do note that the helpings are large. We could not finish the egg omelette, beef and army hot pot soup and had to pack the omelette and beef back for breakfast the next day as the servings were large. There were 2 of us and the meal cost us C$95. Pretty reasonable for the quality . Will eat here again if I return to this city .
go early and beat the line-up! love this korean restaurant. food is amazing, and service is also great. very clean and bright, too. can be pricy, but worth it
If this is your first time here during lunch time frame, I'd suggest trying the set lunch menu. You get to sample a variety of dishes. Personally, I liked the soft tofu soup and the pancake. The staff is friendly and attentive as well.

Sura is a reasonable Korean BBQ place in Aberdeen Centre, with an average wait time of 20 minuets during lunch or dinner time. The meat quality is good enough for dollar spent, but the portion size does need to increase a bit to reflect the price. Overall, I wouldn’t say the price is high nor it is fairly priced.
As a traditional food item in Korean cuisine, kimichi hot stew is a must order to check out the skill of the Korean Chef. Similarly, the side dishes are important part of Korean Cuisine. Obviously, Sura is a BBQ restaurant, so I didn’t expect too much, but it was probably quite bad in comparison to other Korean BBQ restaurant like Chosun.
On to the main: the meat is well marinated and the dipping sauces are good too. Stew hot pot is surprisingly good, way better than one would expect from a BBQ restaurant. Rice is firm, fresh and hot.
Service is definitely one of the best attribute of Sura Aberdeen. Normally, any Korean restaurant would have quite good service standard, Sura here takes it to next level.
Service: 4.5/5
Food: 2.5/5 side dishes are major issue
Price: 3.5/5 portion size consideration needs
Environment: 3.5/5 expect noisy
Overall: 3.5/5
FYI: second photo is the recent side dishes of Sura, first photo is the past side dishes of Sura. We can see improvement in side dishes variety but not the quality or taste.
I always come to this place for lunch when Im in Richmond. Come right when they open though or there is a long line up. For lunch, they have the Sura-RA which is the deluxe set lunch for 2 people or more. Comes with a variety of dishes - sweet and sour crispy pork, pork belly, braised beef, your own beef rib to bbq, fried fish, japchae, soup, rice and a variety of sides and salads. This option is $20/person. They also have a $15/person set lunch option with less dishes. If you don't feel like eating so much, they also have their open menu where you can order what you want to eat. There was a $38 beef rib that looked like a nice cut and was really tempting!! Customer service is great, very attentive with waters and helping to cook your food and cut the meat for you. Definitely a good place for two people or for bigger groups.
Sura is not a place to be disappointed if you're hungry for Korean. I came here for lunch when it opened at 11am and noticed this place was already packed to a tee so come here early to avoid the line up. They have a offer a couple combos $15 to $20 per person which seems like a good deal. We took the $20 dollar per person option which included around 13 dishes and grill your own rib eye meat. The rib eye meat was tender and sweet. The dishes I liked were the soup (miso /kimchi flavor) and fried fish (topped with a light and fresh creamy dressing). I saw a family order a $38 dollar rib eye and was tempted to get it. Pretty much look like a dinosaur rib out of the Flintstones. I would recommend giving this place a try.
Fairly tasty Korean food... Especially the BBQ meat. They're well seasoned, marinated and juicy. The other dishes are okay and very similar to other Korean restaurants for cheaper prices. Everything was fresh and flavorful.
The only downfall is that they do not have a set menu available for dinner, only lunch! It would be nice to have something similar to their set lunch menu at dinner... Or to offer that all day, because it's a lot of food. Also, we were sad that they didn't have soju and yogurt drink! Oh well, tasty food, though pricey.
One of my favorite Korean restaurants in town. The quality of their BBQ is really good. Good service but there is always line up.
The best value would be their $15 or $20 lunch sets. You will get 10-15 items!
The restaurant was very clean and the ambience was a very "chill" one! The lighting was on the darker side, but it did add to the modern atmosphere of the restaurant! The servers were very friendly and kept checking up on us while we ate.
The food was very delicious, although it was on the pricier side of things!
My friends and I got the Royal Marinated Galbi, Herb Pork Belly, and the Seafood Pancake. The serving sizes are relatively big (especially the seafood pancake) and when you order food, it comes with many side dishes; you will definitely be full!
Had lots to eat, but was so hungry that I didn’t get a chance to take a photo of the food before we feasted. I did however get a chance to snap a picture of the pork bone soup which was amazing!! Would come again but for a special occasion or with more friends - definitely on the more expensive side of KBBQ. BUT regardless, still amazingly delicious 😍
Super attentive and great service. The food was great and many sides. Got the beef tongue and pork galbi and saam set. Perfect for two people.
Everything here was delicious. The quality of the meat was great. The soft tofu soup was delicious. Sura is on the pricier side but everything is amazing including the service. They also have an amazing lunch deal. Their seafood pancake is a must try.
Food was delicious. The pork bone soup and rice cakes were really good. It was a bit disappointing because I heard good things about the lunch set. we came for the lunch set, but it was unavailable with no news on when it would return.
Not the same "Sura" as we know in Richmond, this one is "more Korean". The food is quite authentic, sauce is great, and doenjang jjigae tastes delicious, while the beef soup is a bit less tasty. Price is fair compare with the one in Richmond.
