Really enjoyed the food, service was good. Authentic Korean food but a smaller menu than normal. I would recommend this place.

Was looking forward to going back to Sura on my trip to Vancouver. My partner is Korean and she rates Sura as one of her favorite Korean restaurants ever. As usual we were not disappointed. Great atmosphere, super friendly staff and amazing food. If you...love Korean food or want to try it for the first time, this is the place to go.More

Wow! We happened across this place while wandering. We "thought" we were hungry, so the three of us ordered the Set Lunch. It was SO MUCH FOOD! Everything was absolutely delicious. It was a sampling of all sorts of different dishes. Some things were quite...spicy. Service was good. They were quite busy. The lunch was a bit pricey, but we ended up with quite a few leftovers. It was really fun to try so many new things!More

Looking forward for a spicy meal in the cold weather, Dumplings were okay. the spicy pork sliced I was looking forward was too sourish and wasnt enjoyable, Beef soup too lacked flavors. Busy place quick service but mediocre food.

The restaurant has a nice ambience. Nice to hang out with family, friends, or for a date night. We all opted for either the dolsot Bibimbap or the gulgogi Bibimbap on a cold night. We were all wanting the crispy rice at the bottom. However...it wasn't the case & we all found it lacking flavour. Service was good. Always offering us more tea.More

Really delicious Korean food - we had the small bossam and bulgogi, which proved to be a very generous amount for two people. Friendly staff and fast service, but didn't feel rushed. A great dining experience.

This restaurant is very popular, but does not accept reservations. I did not have to wait too long to get a table and I ordered the bulgogi. The "small" portion serves one person, but was huge! It was delicious and there was so much food...that I had to struggle to finish it. I liked the fact that my server asked about food allergies and gave me kimchi without seafood sauce. Highly recommended.More

We stumbled into Sura Korean Cuisine for a Saturday lunch not knowing anything about the restaurant. A NYC dining experience at JUA turned us on to Korean food, but we had no idea how to order. Fortunately, the 25 Canadian dollar set lunch took ordering...out of the equation, and we told the kind and welcoming servers to bring it on. Holy Gopchang! This set lunch was amazing. Dishes kept arriving, and kept arriving, we didn’t have enough room on the table. I was bamboozled, having no idea this was what Sura’s set lunch was all about. We had no clue what was being served, but almost everything was delicious, and I mean orgasmically delicious. Our favorites: The fried fish, Kimchi pancake, Spicy Sliced Pork, Potato Noodle, Deep Fried Fish, Deep Fried Sweet and Sour Pork, and Soy Bean Paste Soup. My least favorite was the Pork Belly, but that’s my personal taste. Each server was infinitely patient with my multitude of questions. and I was overly excited about the food. I had a wonderful time, and I loved the food. Sura Korean Cuisine was a memorable dining experience.More

I wanted to try Korean steamed dumplings but I prefer the Chinese version better. We also had our usual favourites the dolsot bibim bap and japchae. The service is always prompt and efficient. Tables are well spaced and a line up on Christmas day opening...time.More
