Sura Korean BBQ & Tofu House Restaurant - Long Beach

Very vegan friendly! The Pharaoh’s Combo (Vegan) includes bulgogi, garlic shrimp, mushrooms, dumplings, rice cake skewers, japche, salad, banchan, rice paper, and dipping sauces. Serves two but we had to take some to go, you get so much food! Service was great. They have a vegan menu.

Food and service were phenomenal. Parking is tricky and very limited. Small space can have a wait time if you go during a busy time. Lunch specials don’t include the weekend. Our server was outstanding and very helpful, it was my first time there and he made the best recommendations. Now onto why I gave it 4/5 instead of 5/5. The price for 2 people getting 2 entrees and 2 appetizers was $100. For $50 a plate I would’ve like the atmosphere to be better and a little higher class. If it’s your first time here try different stuff they have a great selection and foods fresh.

It was amazing food and pretty authentic in my opinion since returning from South Korea. The staff was friendly . We came on an a slow day and the restaurant basically to ourselves. It was nice and spacious. I’m sure the atmosphere gets even better when more people are around. I will be coming again!

An Authentic place for good korean food.It is a little crowded,but the service and atmosphere is good.

The food was 4/5 I got the beef tofu soup. It was extra hot. Sides were good besides the kimchi. They should taste the batch.

Indoor was pretty hot and a lot of smoke due to the kbbq grilling outside. We ask to turn up the ac but they didn’t really do anything about it. Suggestion invest in some fans.

Overall staff was nice and food was good.

Had the Vegan Option. It was delicious! Would definitely order again.

We sat inside, at a table without a grill. We got some Rose Tteokbokki with ramen, and japchae for the table. We were with friends that like Korean, but hadn't explored the menu yet. Both were something they wouldn't have ordered but really enjoyed. The sausage in the tteokbokki have it a nice smokiness that I liked.

Everybody enjoyed their mains too, and they were plenty of leftovers.

The food was amazing and came in generous portions. Everything was fresh and well-prepared. Also, our server Megan was so attentive, kind, and genuinely made the whole experience even better. Her service was great from start to finish. Definitely coming back!

We got the kimchi rice, mushroom soup and the vegan pancake. I appreciate the vegan options but everything was just okay. there are better places out there

We loved every bite! When we first sat down our server asked if we were vegan and pointed out the vegan page. We got a bunch of sharables and the bulgogi with banchan. We loved it all, but our absolutely fav bites were the crispy rice cake skewers and the shroomi fries. We asked for a second serving of the cucumber kimchi because it was soooo good! #Veganuary

Fantastic bibimbap, ramen, banchan, and appetizers! Great service too. My favorite restaurant in Long Beach Updated from previous review on 2025-01-07

Been wanting to come here for a while and finally got the chance. Sura is very vegan friendly with vegan options clearly marked. I ordered the Japche, Vegetable dumplings, crispy rice cake skewers, and vegan mushrooms tofu soup. My favorite of everything I ordered were the crispy rice cake skewers. I highly recommend ordering this. Everything else was good as well. Next time I’d like to try the kimchi fried rice. Also, I saw on a previous review that the kimchi was not vegan friendly. When I asked our waiter, he said it was. Lastly, the banchan comes with fish cakes so be sure to ask them to omit. #Veganuary

I love Korean BBQ and this place checked all the boxes! Very clean, good selection, and great food. The only complaint / downside is that it’s not the typical all you can eat - it’s a preset menu. But I was more than enough food.

I visited Sura when I was in LA and I have to say, it was an absolute delight! As a vegetarian, it's often hard to find authentic Korean cuisine, but this place absolutely nailed it. Their menu had a fantastic selection of vegan and vegetarian options that were both flavorful and creative.
The highlight of my meal was definitely the dumpling soup – hands down the BEST I’ve ever had! The dumplings were perfectly steamed, with a delicious, savory filling, and the broth was rich and comforting, with just the right balance of spices. It’s the kind of soup that warms you from the inside out (specially after waiting for you to get table for good 45 minutes on a moderately chilly day).

The staff were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable about vegan and vegetarian substitutions, which made the experience even better.

If you’re looking for amazing Korean food with plenty of veggie options, this is the place to go. I can’t wait to come back and try more dishes from their menu. Highly recommend!
