My wife and I came here on a Saturday night for date night and were really impressed with the food. I will start out by saying it was a touch more expensive than I realized, but we also haven’t been out to dinner in a while because we have kids.
The service was amazing. We were seated quickly, and our waitress was super kind and helped us understand the menu. We decided to share the Bulgogi, and we also decided to share a tempura appetizer. The tempura was great. The mixed tempura came with a good version of vegetables and a couple shrimp. I was really impressed how tasty the Bulgogi was and how large the dinner portion was. It was enough for my wife and I to share and to feel satisfied in the meal. You also have to make sure to get the side dishes. They are so good at the end of our meal, my wife said I wanna come here again

I love Korean food and this place rocks. Great home made Kim chi. Tofu soup was excellent. Also the dolset Bim Bim Bop which you see in the picture along with radish soup and the different little starter dishes that are included with the entrees. Not super cheap but not pricey either. Generous portions. Worth every penny. Nice wait staff too and quick.

We chose Sura for something different to celebrate my daughter's birthday. The food was very good especially the orange chicken. We chose dishes to share and Sura accommodated us with extra plates. Ended up being a little more pricey than expected but would love to go back and try the sizzling hot pots.

So I randomly choose Sura as a place for me and a bunch of friends to try and we were not disappointed. I called the restaurant in advance and they were happy to take on a large party of up to 15 people (we had 13 actually show up). The food was well presented and delicious. One warning: what they call 'mild' tasted 'medium' as to the spicy level. We had and shared so many different dishes it would be difficult to pick a favorite.

The food tastes terrible. The tofu soup tastes like plain water with MSG for seasoning. It’s more like a thin broth than a stew. The meat dishes are too sweet, so I don't think they suit Korean tastes. I won't be going back again.

Sura is as authentic as you can get! Don't be fooled by the fact that there aren't any Korean characters on their menu. My parents and I tried the black bean noodles (jjajangmyeon), spicy rice cakes (ddukbokgi), soft tofu soup (soondubu), and spicy beef stew (yukgaejang). Everything was superb. We were gushing and saying how we felt like we were in Seoul again :'). Only feedback is that the spicy rice cake appetizer should definitely have more than ten rice cakes. It's an expensive dish so we were surprised that we had to search for the rice cakes. This is the only non-traditional aspect, so we really can't complain. If you want an authentic Korean meal, come to Sura!!

Terrible treatment from Asia, my family just because I brought some drinks from somewhere else got angry. The waitress never came back. I was a customer. The waitress is one who has a tattoo on her arm and gives terrible service.

If you’re looking for tasty traditional Korean food in the VC area than look no further! Sura never disappoints when it comes to authentic Korean dishes that tastes like home cooked meals. My regular go to dishes are the bibimbap, bulgogi, and chicken plate. You cannot go wrong with the tofu soup as well. I believe what sets this place apart is the quality of the side dishes that they specialize in since they are the perfect addition to balance out the rich foods and the welcoming atmosphere ran by local owners who are always so sweet when I stop by. It is also located in a beautiful shopping center overlooking water and has plenty of parking spaces.

This is the best korean restaurant around Oxnard &. VenturaI just love everytime I came here.The food that I order most of the time is BBQ rib and Mandu soup combo. The rib is so juicy and had a sweet taste sauce that can get along so well with the rice and The best part is the Mandu Soup. OMG!!!Imagine you had a party and so hangover the next morning having this Umami wonton soup will be the best time in you're life.

The tofu came out too salty. We asked to have it remade. They used the same tofu and just watered it down to no flavor. I thought it would be remade. I knew because the egg I put in was in the remade dish.

Me and my partner went to this restaurant we traveled from Santa Barbara so it was about a half hour drive and to start things off I guess maybe this is a thing at other restaurants but I’ve never been to a Korean barbecue restaurant where you don’t get to cook yourself with a grill at the table I wanted to leave immediately but my partner did not so I did not say anything and we stayed already on this point I would not come back because I’m coming for the experience of cooking myself and enjoying Korean food which is not an option. We started with the calamari It was very thick, cut almost seemed a little dry, and I kind of like that. It was less chewy than normal probably overcooked however, I’m not a big calamari fan. I only had a few pieces while my partner had the rest. I wanted to order the bigger plate Bulgogi And I wanted to add a soup that comes with the dinner combo. However, they said I cannot order the soup. It only comes with the dinner combo. How ridiculous is that? I can’t order a soup at an increase price because it’s not on the dinner combo. Anyhow, the amount of food that came in the combo was barely enough for two which is what me and my partner shared because by this time she didn’t even want to order Her own meal since they did not have any sweet-and-sour, hot and sour soup I forget what kind she wanted, but they did not have it. It was OK. I really enjoyed the texture and stickiness of the black bean rice however, no flavor at all the Bulgogi was tasty, but compared to other places lacking in flavor the soup that came with our meal Which is what I was most excited for also seemed subpar at best. There was kimchi on the side that was all Fishcakes I believe they were OK radish and potatoes and cube like shapes that were sweet I like them, but never had something like that before. It was interesting. The atmosphere was all right but the service was not minimal at best, and I did not like the way the server stood in the hallway behind us the whole time it was very awkward. My partner believes that she got sick from the calamari, which again she had most to herself I only had three pieces And later on for the next couple days, she was complaining about stomach problems that she believes was from the calamari. My biggest problem with this place Again is the fact that we don’t get to grill our own food I’ve never been to another Korean barbecue restaurant that did not have the grills at the table. I do not know if this is common but I do not like it one little bit. The next biggest issue is the fact that the food is not flavorfule enough and possibly not of high enough quality For them to be asking for this ridiculous prices a meal for one person comes out to the price of two meals almost anywhere else Besides steakhouses and Gordon Ramsay‘s restaurant hahaha.

the food was okay. my main issue is the portion sizes and the prices. if i spend almost $40 for a meal i am expecting to get portions proportionate to that price, or for it to taste really really good. but the portions were pretty sad and i got home and was hungry enough to make myself more food and that is just ridiculous for how expensive my meal was. i'm unfortunately not coming back due to that.

The food here is as good as any Korean restaurant in LA's Koreatown or other Korean communities around SoCal. Plus, the staff is so friendly and attentive. Highlights include the generous servings of banchan (freshly made kimchi is marvelous!), hot tofu soup, bibimbap, and kimchi pancake (appetizer). Recently started serving Cass Beer, imported from Korea (I like darker beers better in general but Cass really helps with the spiciness of thee Korean delicacies)
