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?

Not only is it GR8T food the value is amazing, I went there with my wife and a friend of ours. We got the hot pot and I was shocked how low the bill was when you consider how much food we had. The only thing I should caution people, those side orders are addictive and they are all you can eat so just make sure you don't load up on them before your main course

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 .

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!

Came here for their lunch special! We decided on the $20 set because we wanted galbijim instead of bulgogi. Service was quick and we got lucky cause the lineup started after us! Food came quick very very quick. The food was fantastic! Loved the BBQ meat and doenjang jigae was the best dish! The galbijim was drier than I expected and not as tender and flavorful than I'm used to.Overall the experience​ was nice, the food was on point and service was quick. The lunch set menu gives you a taste of almost everything in store and it's probably the best deal for good Korean food at lunch time!!

It's always great to catch up with old friends, especially friends whom I have such a long history with.

Sura Korean Cuisine currently has two locations in the Lower Mainland… one on Robson Street in Vancouver and this outlet on the lower floor of Aberdeen Centre in Richmond (takiing over the old Tropika location). Sura is known for their set menus and we wound up ordering the Lunch Set Course RA at $20 per person. To say that this meal comes with a lot of food is an understatement. Since all the dishes pretty much came out at the same time (and very quickly after we ordered), I’m assuming it’s all pre-made and just rolled out.

Had their set lunch RA menu for $20 a person. They also have the SU set menu for $15. The meal includes 12 dishes and is a good taste of their flavours. Although it looks like a lot of food (and it is sufficient don't get me wrong), it is more a sampling of each dish. Service was prompt and friendly. It is a fairly clean restaurant as well with ample space making it a comfortable dining space.

Sura at lunch is one of the best deals in town. They have 2 set menus for lunch, a $15 and a $20 one. We usually go with the $15 one and even then it’s super filling and we can never finish everything. On this particular day we weren’t feeling super hunger so we decided to order a mackerel set and a soft tofu soup.

The food as always was delicious and the banchan was always refilled when the plate became empty.

Sura is a solid choice for Korean food in Richmond.

Their lunch set menu is great. I went with a couple other people and we all ordered the set each and shared it all. There was plenty of food for all of us. I didn't think the price was too much, given the variety of things we got to eat and be filled with. Their music is way too loud and their yelling is annoying.

I came for dinner twice and once for lunch. First time I had pork bone hot pot, royal rice cakes, and japchae. The pork bone was tender and the meat fell of the bone, however, the potato chunks in the hot pot were way too huge to eat. Japchae has great flavors. Rice cakes were good but bit dry (lacking sauce). Second time I got korean army hot pot. The hot pot portion was huge and very filling with the side dishes.

I really recommend their lunch set menu. It's $15 per person for the Set Course SU, which has 10 different kinds of dishes. Or $20 per person for the Set Course RA for 12 dishes. I think the $15 is really worth it!

Once in a blue moon, I crave Korean food and I crave it hard. If you are a local in Richmond and you've been to Aberdeen at least once in your life, you've probably seen the very, very long lineups outside of Sura on the first floor. The place always looks busy – whether lunch or dinner time – and the lines are just insane. I had never felt a strong enough urge for me to even try to stand in line for almost an hour, but on one particular day around 1:30pm, we (bubs and I) were surprised to see the place relatively empty so we decided to give it a shot.

Gotta admit, the 15$ per person lunch set is a great deal but be warned, there are lots of spicy dishes and there isn't much meat either. Great chance to try a lot of different things! Unfortunately the food was prepared in advanced i believe because so many people get this lunch deal that it came super fast and was a bit room temperature at times. THEIR RICE CAKES ARE THE BEST THOUGH. CHEWY WITH A PERFECT SAUCE. EXPENSIVE BUT WORTH IT.....

I recently re-visited the Sura Korean BBQ located on the first floor of Aberdeen. They serve up authentic Korean cuisine and samgyeopsal and there are always line ups at the front. My first visit here wasn't great at all so I was quite skeptical giving them a second chance. This was my first post on them.

Went there with my family for my birthday. The service was AMAZING. Better than i could ever expect, considering my less than impressive service from all korean restaurants i've been to before. The servers were quick, remembered everything we asked for and the food and portions were great. My only complaint was that there was a large birthday party sitting next to us and they were drinking and being very loud and swearing. We asked the server if she could tell them to stop swearing and keep it down.She apologized to us and said she already asked them to but they were getting out of hand. So when the noise escalated again i had to look over and yell myself. That was unpleasant but not the restaurants fault. Everything else was great! Highly recommend!

Sura Korean BBQ Restaurant is located on the first floor of Aberdeen Centre. By reading reviews online, it seemed like their lunch/dinner set and BBQ are the popular ones. Since we wanted to try a variety of food, we ordered a mix of BBQ and other staple Korean dishes. BEEF TONGUE ($15) tasted alright but not the best quality I've tried so far. As the servers do not constantly take care of your meats, you need to pay attention not to overcook or burn it...

Amazing service. I came here around 1 pm on a Wednesday. It wasn't packed but there were still a lot of people. Our server was very kind and helped us grill the meat and refill our drinks without us needing to ask. He also did other things such as spoon soup into our bowls and cut our meat. The service was excellent and he seemed very friendly. The food is pricey but it was worth every bite. I would definitely come again.

Real Korean BBQ. Had a great time with friends at this restaurant. Awesome meat quality and their Korean BBQ was real. Except BBQs, I "can" recommend their galbi jjim, Korean army hot pot and jap chae from what we had last night. And I can see ppl's complain about this restaurant's service here on urbanspoon and yeah their service were not perfect. At least they didn't charge us for the wrong menu, so there's that.

Team lunch set course RA here. Finally visited Sura Richmond by mistake -- sans a schedule (:p), and wasn't disappointed. Braised beef short ribs, steamed pork belly & herbs, sweet & sour pork, and sweet potato noodles. All my favourites are here at one place. What a great lunch. Thoroughly enjoyed and transformed into another happy belly. Modern yet refined atmosphere. Service left some to desire.

Great addition to the Richmond Korean dining scene. So satisfying in terms of quality. We (me, my girl friend and her mother to be exact) tried premium royal galbi + yuja beef tartar + japchae + mul naeng myun + soy bean paste soup for this first visit to the new Korean BBQ place in Aberdeen mall, and a good thing is we all seemed satisfied. For myself, yuja beef tartar was the best. The freshness and quality of meat were top-notch and the taste and scent of yuja - 香橙 - were perfectly matched with the beef. The service can be improved, to say the least. It was a very busy Saturday night but the waitress was not terribly attentive. Probably will come back just with my girl friend though to try their lunch specials. A great addition to the Richmond Korean dining scene.

Premium Royal Galbi, Royal Marinated Galbi, Herb Pork Belly, and Yuja Beef Tartar were simply phenomenal.. The first thing first. I believe they would need to adjust their business hours. This fairly new Korean BBQ restaurant is located in Richmond where a lot of people love to dine out even at the late night. It's not my opinion I'm afraid. To people who have even a little knowledge, it's, like, a fact. :p Just saying. The restaurant's last call for dinner is ... 9pm. Well, for some restaurant in Downtown Vancouver, it is acceptable but for one in Richmond, I think they are in desperate need of extending the last call time slot. If we didn't call ahead, probably we would have found out the restaurant is closed for the day when we got there. Lunch last call seems fine. They open for lunch till 4pm but they said the last call for lunch is 3pm. Hm.

And the second: Service. The waitress for our table was ... not delicate in handling dishes. And she's got the order mixed. *facepalmed* She seemed not well trained in fact. Sorry but the situation's rightfully call for a better training.

The third: the atmosphere is good! There are restaurants for family dinners. Then there are restaurants for dinners with friends or social gatherings. SURA Korean BBQ would be the latter for me. The restaurant presents a great interior decor in an architectural sense. All the characters of space sends out a vibe of efficiency and addresses concerns for such. Hard to find this kind of set up in Metro Vancouver area. I know it is a big claim but to me it is.

Finally the food. This is a Korean BBQ restaurant. If I have wanted to try great Korean food, I would have gone to any of the good ones in Downtown instead of making a sort of long trip to Richmond. So? Fantastic news, guys. The meat quality and the marinara are excellent! And I must say my guess is that the chef knows how to marinate beef in an authentic Korean style. Well, it sounds almost like it's given. But a sad thing is that I have experienced one too many times awkwardly marinated Galbi or not-so-great quality beef ribs at so-called Korean BBQ restaurants. Not just here Metro Vancouver areas. Premium Royal Galbi (Premium Beef Short-ribs sans marination), Royal Marinated Galbi, Herb Pork Belly, and Yuja Beef Tartar were simply phenomenal. Yes, they are a tad more expensive than other Korean restaurants in the neighbourhood offer but I guess it's worth trying when you can. And for Japchae, Beef Rice Cakes, and the Pork Bone Hot Pot we tried, we were OK with them but my friends and I agreed that this restaurant's versions are a bit too westernized.

So~ Would I go back? Hm ... when I crave Korean BBQ, it's a firm yes. But when I just want some Korean food? I think I'll stick with its branch on Robson Street.

Actually one of the first things my friends told me after moved back to Vancity was there's this new SURA located in Richmond and we can have Table-grilled BBQs there. Oh yeah? So we went.

The bad things first.: thee wait staff's service ranges. Or at least it seemed that way. A waitress who has been assigned to our table was extremely friendly and super efficient. But I could tell that some of other waitresses were not completely well-trained.

Thankfully the BBQs are excellent here. More precisely, the meat quality and the marinara density are both great. Premium Royal Galbi, Royal Marinated Galbi, and Beef Tongue were what we tried, and even compared to my favourite Korean BBQ restaurants in other cities, Kookjae Sootbul BBQ in San Fran and Miss Korea BBQ in NYC, they could come out as a winner. Great job, SURA. Well done you.

There was no surprise with Herb Pork Belly, the very well known SURA special and my favourite at the Robson location.: It is still great here. And so is Yuja Beef Tartar. But unfortunately I prefer Beef Short-rib Soup and Beef Soft Tofu Soup at the Robson over the counter part they serve here in Richmond.

But their additional menu items that the Robson location doesn't carry were what really got me interested.: the Hot Pots and $200/Person Dinner Set-Course, anyone? I shall come back for those later on again. *Evil Laughs*

Three Words: Premium Royal Galbi. After a long and tedious discussion, we decided to hit Korean BBQ. In this weather? Eh, why not. Because Korean BBQ? Haha. But which one? I've already been to one on empire Centre and many times to the one on #3. Being girls who like pretty things, not surprisingly enough (or typical enough? hoohoo), we went for SURA Korean BBQ restaurant this time.

For too hungry we were, we just ended up ordering a bunch of BBQs, Cold Buckwheat Noodles and beer pitchers (Summer!!!): Premium Royal Galbi (to some people who are not familiar with Korean BBQ, this comes WITHOUT marination!) was, is, and will be my most favourite! I thought the marinara sauce for Royal Marinated Galbi was simply top-notch great, and yes I understand, to most people, the marinated BBQ is Korean BBQ, but. But in a traditional sense of great BBQ (and imho of course), nothing tastes better than real premium quality beef BBQ. Beef Tongue, Galbi-Jjim and Royal Galbi (We had to order plain Royal Galbi cause they ran out of the premium one) were good too.

The price wise, mind you, this restaurant honestly is on the side of being expensive. So, decide accordingly. And although we had to waive silly a couple of times to get the wait staff's attention (I guess it's all the same at busy Asian restaurants?? Bad trend if you ask me.), we were just glad that they served cold buckwheat noodles after asking our decision around time we were almost done with BBQs. At some restaurants, they will bring them out in the middle of BBQing. Without asking. And that's just wrong.

What Authentic Korean Cuisine has to offer. Let me just say this before saying anything further: This kind of lunch set for $15 is a bloody steal. I wanted to say that first before I mess up my review. Haha.

Sura Korean BBQ restaurant is a newly opened Korean restaurant in Richmond Aberdeen Centre with fairly modern decor for a Korean restaurant in Metro Vancouver area. If you are frequent to Korean restaurant scene in town, you should know what I'm trying to say. The most restaurants are passable enough with their food quality, but they are not the kind of places you'd want to take out your girl friend or boy friend to. This one though is comfortably close to that criteria. Everything felt well prepared from seats to grills. Actually I preferred this one's open and modern interior to that of Sura Robson location. It's a definite up-point to me.

Now, to the things that matter more: Their menu, more precisely the food's taste and quality. This is obviously my first time to try this restaurant -- although I've been to Sura Robson quite often -- so probably consciously I went with a safer choice: Sura Lunch Set Course. It's $15. Fifteeeeen. Tuna Tacos at Milest*nes will cost you the same. See my point? For the price, you will have 11 to 12 small-portion Korean dishes. Yes, I tend to agree with the opinion that they are more of samplers than tapas. But calling these dishes simply samplers just doesn't do justice. At the end of the meal, you will feel generously satisfied with the portion. Besides, this is for lunch.

Another good thing of having this set course is that you could enjoy variety that the authentic Korean Cuisine has to offer. Some of my friends from UK are often wondering if there's more to the cuisine culture than BBQ and Soups. This set course is a perfect opportunity where they can experience Korean Cuisine other than having just grilled meats and steamed rice. There are this Spicy Squid Salad, Mung Bean Jelly, crowd-pleaser Grilled Beef Rib-eye, Korean style Sweet & Sour Pork, Grilled Croaker, my all time favourite Herb Pork Belly, and Korean's dinner staples, Soybean Paste Soup.

The quality-wise; Isn't there a saying that the busy restaurant never serves gone-bad food? No time for food materials in Kitchen to go bad. But this is a VERY busy restaurant. At least many lunch times I've passed by. So, probably the finish of their dish-served would be hit-or-miss. Luckily this time my girl friend and I tried, everything was just great.

If you live or work close by and happen to enjoy Korean food, having your lunch at this Korean restaurant in Aberdeen Mall is a no-brainer. There, I said it.

Glabi jjim was near perfect!. For a monday night dinner, it was quite a trip from downtown. we even lost once! if they didn't take a reservation, probably we had to go back. kkk

first ordered green salad, glabi jjim, and kimchi pork soup, but ended up ordering another one (japchae). maybe because we were of dead empty stomach or maybe the portion was not that great for us hungry girls.

glabi jjim was near perfect though. the combination of meat tenderness and its sauce gave such a great taste. i would say it was even better than the equivalent one that they serve in their robson location.

my friend's favourite, japchae was not bad either, although we almost ordered something else because they (:D) said the dish here in this location was not as good as what they serve in downtown. mmm, i guess all it comes down to personal preference. to me it was a little bit leaning towards too sweet side but that could be just nitpicking. kimchi pork soup and salad were ok i guess but nothing to write home for.

the atmosphere and service? okay~ not that bad as some have said imho. i'd say i'd come back when i'm in town to try bbqs. after all it was great!

Probably go back again for marinated Galbi alone!. I've been going to its sister restaurant on Robson, but I was kind of wary of coming this new Korean BBQ place because... one of my rules is do not dine in at a recently opened place. Hm, a bunch of bored BBQ loving girls on a Saturday evening do, what can we do.

We ordered Galbi, marinated Galbi, Galbi-Jjim, Pork Jowl (did I mention we're BBQ lovers? :o), Potato Pancake, Kimchi Soups and Seafood Soft Tofu Soups. And I can say meat quality and marinated Galbi's marinara tasted simply right. I'd probably go back again for marinated Galbi alone! Potato Pancake I had on the Robson location was my favourite but this one, not so much. My friends seemed to be enjoying ok, but it was a bit too oily for me. The soups were ok, I guess. Although its smaller portion of food than other Korean places serving makes this restaurant a tad expensive, I liked its good BBQ and clean & modern atmosphere. But then again hopefully I would have someone to pay my bill next time. Harhar~

Sura Korean BBQ is located inside Aberdeen Centre in Richmond. Sura is definitely leaning towards in becoming a high end restaurant, aiming to represent the luxury side of Korean cuisine. Their grand opening was just a few months ago with less than a year in business. We called to make a reservation on a Saturday night and they said they don’t take reservations. There was a line when we arrived around 7:30pm but it was not long. There’s probably only 3-5 tables ahead of us. The wait was short (considering this is a BBQ place which normally people take their time). We got our table within 35-40 minutes. What I must point out is the environment. It is super clean and tidy considering this is a BBQ place. Maybe because the place is still new? But it definitely shouts decent date night/ decent hangout place to me. Each table has its own BBQ stove. If you’re wondering what that metal thing on the table is… That is a sprinkler for the BBQ stove in case of fire. Usually they are above each ta

This is my first request post. I love it when someone invites me to visit their favourite restaurant, and I in turn am able to give an insightful review on it. I have not lighten my opinions, nor have I steered my writing in any way. Like myself this is written in utter honesty, the only way I know how to be and how to write. We almost didn’t get past the congested underground parking of Aberdeen Mall. Tight corners, tighter stalls, intersections with no rules, and pedestrians who didn’t care where they walked. It has certainly lost my future business. I was stuck behind a stop sign waiting for the endless line of cars entering and exiting. Neither rows allowing a parked car to reverse from its stall. The term gong show came to mind. When we finally stopped, a lengthly walk around the newer, still spacious mall was required in search for our lunching destination. We wished for a mall directories readily available between busy crossroad. The restaurant’s entrance was through the mall. A

This was the Galbi-Jjim which was braised beef short ribs and it was served with a lot of roasted squash. The short ribs were on a really big bone and it was just tender enough. Maybe it could’ve been marinated a bit longer for more flavour but I wish I had more of this! This was the large size but it looks smaller in real life. I also liked the squash with the sauce.

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.
