About Sura Korean Restaurant

Sura Korean Restaurant provides a satisfying food experience with friendly and attentive staff. Their lunch special offers good value, featuring generous portions of authentic Korean dishes. The restaurant is known for serving fish dishes with fish bones, which are rare in Victoria. Combination meals come with rice, banchan, and ssam, and the staff actively assist with grilling and refilling banchan. Recent reviews highlight the quality of their meals, especially the MACKEREL GUI, which includes 6 banchan sides, soup, rice, and hot tea for only $21 CAD with tax. Customers also enjoy the SEAWEED SOUP and favorite banchans like fried fish, seaweed, fish sausage strips, potatoes, and broccoli. The atmosphere has improved since the renovation, returning to a lively and welcoming environment from 2020. Service remains friendly and attentive, with staff checking on diners regularly. Visitors mention that the food can be a bit bland, but the overall experience is positive, especially with the current lunch special promotion. The $20 lunch deal is considered good, though plans to raise it to $30 next year seem too expensive. The menu features dishes like galbi, ribs, and gamjatang—a hearty Korean soup made from pork spine or neck bones, simmered to produce a rich broth seasoned with gochugaru and gochujang, containing potatoes, noodles, greens, and flavorful meat on the bones. Gamjatang is loved for its hearty, comforting nature and is often enjoyed with rice or as a late-night snack with soju. Recent visits also mention the fun addition of a robot server, making the dining experience more enjoyable and efficient. Many customers appreciate helpful and courteous service, and the food is often praised for being excellent. The restaurant’s meat is fresh, and grilling it oneself adds a fun element to the meal. Overall, Sura Korean Restaurant remains a popular spot for both traditional and modern Korean dishes, offering great value and a lively atmosphere.

The food was way better before the renovations. This place definitely hit shrink flation. Before the renovations you got delicious flavourful meat and a lot of it for $95.00 and now you get two pieces of pork and a few pieces of beef and two chicken breast. Definitely no longer worth the $95.00. The taste has gone downhill it now just tastes like sesame seeds oil on everything it’s quite sad to see such a delightful place go downhill so bad. It is now a complete rip off!!! I...read full review
