Ordered the Korean BBQ for 2. It was cooked by one of the waiters in front of us. The meal was good and the staff was warm and friendly. Only negative I can say is that they charge for additional sides and not sure about ventilation considering it's a bbq place. Other than that, we enjoyed the experience and will try it again.
I'm spoiled by the great Korean restaurants in Vancouver but this place is still pretty good. I tried the Korean barbecue, a few of their regular entrees, and a few sides, and they were all good.
Wow.
This is going to be my go to Asian food fix for a while.
Fresh ingredients served up crackling hot.
Multiple sides. Included. Yes?!.
Huge menu that I will have to return and explore.
Funny thing.
This place has evidently been serving up hot pots for some time.
The main plate serving spots on the laminate countertops are all discoloured and cracked.@
Love it.
Thanks.
Update: OK. I may have hit it at peak that first visit.
On subsequent visits and having ordering other menu items I've got to relate that the deep fried choices just don't do it for me.
Way too greasy.
Could be I'm just getting healthier generally but,....nope.
Will keep trying here. The soup based meals. The hot pots.
But jeesh.
Great food and great value for money. We had a BBQ combo for two, two adults and two young kids, plus one soup and we couldn't finish. They were very generous too with replenishing various extras. The wait staff was very nice and went to the kitchen to double check our food allergy concerns.
Love this place!! Very tummy food, a family favourite restaurant, the only reason why I give this place 4 stars is because of the prices, I feel it's over priced and almost need to break my bank just to take a family of four to eat there for dinner. But definitely worth a visit
One of my favourite restaurants in town and definitely the best Korean restaurant. its one of the few restaurants that i keep going back to and am still not tired of. You can't go wrong with anything on their menu. i recommend the spicy rice cakes, all kinds of hot pots, beef short ribs, the seafood noodle, and the seafood and tofu soup. the complimentary side dishes are always delicious and fresh. i don't really like the bbq here.
Came in on busy Boxing Day, not expecting anything. Visiting Victoria from Vancouver for several days, on our third days into staying, my husband and I were craving Korean food after having afternoon tea at Empress Hotel. We ordered "soon doo boo( spicy soft tofu stew)", "galbi ugeoji guck (short rib cabbage soup)" and "gal bi tang (short rib soup)". Surprisingly all the dishes were tasty, authentic Korean food. The price was good and the waitress serving our table was very kind. I know where to eat Korean food now in Downtown Victoria.
Oh my gawwwwwd the BBQ for 2 is the most amazing thing ever!! 40 dollars for so much delisious dishes and you never feel gross food coma full after eating all of it and the service is always great.
Tasty, but pricy.. Good : Korean BBQ combo was great. You can have hot-fresh(?) BBQ at your table since they have individual grill system on your table. Servers were friendly and helpful, No extra charge for side dish refill. Nice and clean atmosphere.
Bad : After meal, your whole body smell like BBQ haha..I don't recommend super expensive clothing when you go there for BBQ.

Great For A Group, On The Pricey Side. Boyfriend and I checked this out for date night recently, there was tons of stuff I wanted to try and eat. But with the prices, we had to stick to only a couple of things. It's very expensive for having to cook your own food (I am aware this is kind of a staple, but I think for groups and everyone pitching in it'd be different.) We ordered the Korean Beef Shabu Shabu hot pot and some Soju. Soju is great and authentic, and you are served tea after you sit which is very nice. I know how to cook Shabu Shabu, it's very easy but most of the food in here will take awhile to eat, best time to talk and mingle with friends! The beef was good quality (We even ordered more rib eye), we loved all our veggies and Ban chan (side dishes). If you know how to cook Shabu Shabu, that broth at the end is AMAZING with your quality noodles and rice. Best part of the meal deemed by us both!
Now for some cons. I felt like we did not get much service, we were trying to get someone multiple times and nobody was coming over to check on us or ask how it was. That was slightly a downer, especially when I see some staff standing and waiting. They forgot our second order of beef, so we had to have a different server get it for us. And they never remembered the napkins we asked for. Its also pricey, as I said. For two people we won't come again unless I am getting some black bean noodles, this is for sure a group activity.
All in all, we did enjoy our food - not for the price tag, and is a great spot to eat for Korean cuisine for sure.
I love Korean food and this place doesn't disappoint. They have a wide menu of classic Korean dishes, there BBQ is amazing and a lot of fun. Only down side is that the food is quite expensive, no matter the dish. I would highly recommend going with a bunch or people who love to share food and laughs.
Went to Sura for lunch and tried a variety of dishes. All the selections were great and tasty.
The staff was friendly and always kept our pitcher of water filled. Like how they gave us individual condiments rather than the traditional “communal style” condiments.
Was disappointed that their seasonal Buckwheat cold noodle was well ... out of season.
Pos: Their dumpling are never a let down. Crispy fried and large. Noodle broth is almost clear and very hearty for a cold day. Bottle water due to covid. Pancakes are rich in taste and flavourful.
Cons: Prices definately went up. With two people it was almost $80 and that didn't really fill us. Reduced items available on their menu. Service is slow. Their chili fried chicken was the soggiest "crispy fried" chicken I ever had...best if they either revamp the way they make it or get rid of it. Xin makes it better.
Food for thought: expensive but tasty dishes. Best to bring in a large group to share the cost. Service seems to be either very good for some or super slow for others.
The service is very good and the people is so nice. The food is good. The place has a good atmosphere.
A bit expensive but extremely delicious!! Highly recommend getting the best cuts. Side dishes were all amazing
food was good, although i have had better, and it was a bit pricey. Dumpling were crispy and yummy i would definitely have those again. Overall a positive experience.
Great family dining, simple decor, BBQ at your table. High panel separation from other diners and great fast service. Street parking.
Revisited this place after 4 years and they now have BETTER MEATS and LARGER PORTIONS. I remember they used to have the worst bbq portion and their Korean pancakes was super thin and that’s also the reason why I didn’t revisit this place in 4 YEARS. Now however the quality is close to those in Vancouver which I didn’t expect I can find on this island. 100% recommended. (I believe the owner or management has been changed but good work!)
Good taste and fine service. The hotpot is really tasteful. They do the bbq for you so you don't have to worry about it but if you care deeply about hygiene (they use the same tongs for raw and cooked meat), you may want to avoid ordering bbq.
I’m glad that they’re re-opened again. The food was great, the waitress was friendly and helpful. I was just a bit sad that they don’t have the BBQ combos anymore. I hope when things get back to normal, they’ll bring the old menu back.
