    This place has stood the test of time. A Richmond staple Korean BBQ restaurant, it offers well priced and quality meats. We especially like ordering the combos and it removes all analysis paralysis for my family

    Great Korean restaurant in Richmond! Took my family out for lunch and we don't have to drive all the way to Coquitlam for good Korean restaurants! The lunch sets are good portions and my girls are happy with the taste! Service is just like the average restaurant. They got normal tables as well BBQ tables, also 3 private dining rooms plus a huge private dinner room can fit about 60 people (but with glass people can looking at) Will come again to try out the BBQ dinner!

    Our 1st time here, love it already! We ordered their Combo Special 'Kum' for 4. There were still plenty of food left considered we were a table of 4 adults plus 1 10yrs old. I have to admit we ordered japchae as well. Trust me, even if we didn't order japchae, you would still have left over. Oh, we didn't do the grill ourselves. It was nice that they gave us an option of self grill or kitchen grill. We chose kitchen grill this time coz everyone was pretty tired. We love their food. The service was good too. For sure there was no complain on any. Will definitely return when we are back in town!

    Went there before they closed.they checked the vaccination card they we seated. Seated in private room which was a plus. Food was delicious.

    a true gem hiding in plain sight!! stumbled upon this place while shopping at the brick! did a quick research and decided, "next time...im ging there!" so, had a lunch date with a buddy and i suggested we try this korean bbq place. from the covid protocols, to the lunch specials, to the service and food...everything considered, a real 5 star experience. we went with the meat bbq combo special for 2...and tried the steamed dumplings too. the combo was really good value for $. so much food and most importantly....the variety is unheard off. you can kalbi, beef, chicken, pork, and some mushrooms, with miso soup and the classic ban chan! so much food for such a reasonable place compared to all other korea bbq places in richmond. service was great...the server started to help us cook our meats too..i suggested that we could handle it so she is not that tired. the marinade for the bbq meats were awesome too. just the right touch of sweetness. amazing! the steamed dumplings tasted so fresh. packed full of meat and flavour..served with a tangy dipping sauce that complimented it so well. all ready making plans to go back! i had an amazing time. washrooms were well kept and tables distanced properly. tons of parking in the street mall. total value for $! cheers! happy eating!

    So far so good! Service is good Spacing of the tables is suitable for Covid Environment(spaces out) Presentation of food is okay.

    Good value but service is really lacking. I wouldn't return based on the service. I have to get this out of the way right off the bat - DO NOT GRAB THINGS OUT OF YOUR CUSTOMER'S HAND. So freaking rude. I couldn't believe it. The waiter didn't think I was cooking our BBQ beef good enough to his liking, and without saying a word, he just grabbed the tongs right out of my hand! WOW! I told him to take a hike and bring me new, clean tongs. He never did. I finished cooking the beef with chopsticks. The sides were really good, and the kimchi especially was tasty, as well as the apples. The soda is served in cans, and I had to ask for a glass of ice. If I'm in a sit down restaurant, I am not going to drink out of a freaking can. The guy with me was a Korean virgin and he couldn't deal with chopsticks either. The same waiter gave us attitude about asking for a fork for him. He is white, we get it - don't be a jerk. At least he was trying something new. The ambiance is really lacking. Very bland and not welcoming. Food: 4 Service: 1 Ambiance: 2 Parking: 4

    I'm giving 4 starts solely for their black bean noodles. I don't know what it is but I'm addicted to their black bean noodles. I've had black bean noodles from multiple Korean restaurants in lower mainland include the ones in Coquitlam but nothing beats the one they have here. I just like it so much and I crave it often. Everything is perfect: the thickness of the noodles, meat chunks, richness of the sauce, etc. If you like Korean black bean noodles, it's worth giving it a try for $9! I've tried other items from their menu but nothing else is really spectacular here. I personally really like the potato side dish at Korean restaurants, but the one they have here is super dry as you can see in the picture. I wish they were more saucy and flavorful. All the soup and noodle dishes are reasonably priced. It can get expensive if you order BBQ.

    I come for pork belly

    Looking to find a place that is open for Korean BBQ in richmond that is big enough so you're not stuck with people sitting in your personal space of comfort and with staff that understand the complexities of serving food during this pandemic ? Dai Jang Kum is open. A family run business where you get lots of the side dishes. We ordered the bulgogi and pork belly for bbq and the Korean pancake for dinner. It was nice and quiet and the booths were private enough and customers seated far enough from each other that you didn't feel infringed upon. Food is average for Korean bbq and the server changed the bbq grill for us without needing to wait and ask. Or ask and wait. Paid cash which was nice cause despite the fact that most places require machine debit or credit only not everyone has it.

Like how they leave multiple tea pots and water on the tables. 24 items on the menu; appetizers, KFC, BBQ hot plate, rice & noodle and soup & stews. Banchan can be refilled once for free. We opted for medium spice (which was extremely mild). - Banchan - glazed potatoes (standard), kimchi (good kick) and bean sprouts (refreshing). - Seafood pancake ($25.99 large) - decent. - Chicken wings ($10.99) and boneless chicken balls ($11.99 for 7) - wings were standard, balls didn't have much of a crispy bite. - Pork bone hotpot ($37.99 small) - came with two bowls of rice. Reasonable amount of pork with a few potatoes, jalapeños and green onions. Broth was light and lacked depth. - Galbi beef short-rib hot plate ($29.99) - came with a salad. Short ribs were tender and juicy. - Bulgogi stir fried udon ($16.99) - the udon didn't have much texture, sauce wasn't satisfying. Skip it. - Seafood soft tofu stew ($15.99) - good amount of tofu but the broth was one-dimensional. Have had much better sundubu jjigae. Not bad but nothing exciting at DKC to warrant a return visit.

I came here as a group of 7 and the waitress was so kind and patient in helping split the bill by individual items and shared items. The waiter who served us was also super friendly! I'd definitely recommend this place to anyone who's looking for Korean food in Richmond.

This was probably the first time I came to eat during their dinner service, as a friend was dying to go and is a frequent lover of their menu. Overall, I have to say I was pleasantly impressed with their bbq. We ordered the marinated royal beef galbi and the premium royal beef galbi. The meat was tender and delicious. Their pork belly was good, but I really enjoyed the pink pickled radish on the side. Tofu soup was hearty and spicy, but the portion is on the smaller end (serves one small bowl to 5 people). Their rice cakes were delicious - perfectly soft and chewy with various seafood and fish cakes in the spicy sauce. I've personally had better pancakes, but my friend loves their seafood pancake and says it's her favourite. The side dishes really stood out to me. There were the classics (potato, kimchi, bean sprouts), but there were also other delicious dishes that I normally don't have, such as the crab and corn salad and various pickled vegetables. Honestly, they made great palate cleansers and made the meal so much more enjoyable. Service was prompt and smooth. The total was about $50 per person, which is not bad at all considering we were beyond stuffed. I think I would definitely choose other bbq places if I were willing to travel, but Sura is a great, reliable spot in a convenient location.

We ordered the Bulgogi Topokki, Bo Ssam, and various stews. All were yummy!

    This was one of the most disappointing experiences I've had at a Korean restaurant…read more The service was incredibly slow, but the biggest issue was that the staff completely forgot to place our order. After waiting an unusually long time, we finally asked about our food and only then discovered that our order had never been entered. As a result, we wasted nearly two hours of our time. What made the experience even more frustrating was that they did not serve banchan or rice while we were waiting. In Korean restaurants, it is common courtesy to provide banchan and rice so customers have something to enjoy before the main dishes arrive. Instead, we sat there with nothing. It honestly felt like they were trying to avoid refilling the unlimited banchan rather than taking care of their customers. The food itself was only average and certainly not worth the excessive wait. As a Korean, I am very familiar with Korean food and the level of hospitality that customers should expect. Good Korean restaurants make guests feel welcome even when the kitchen is busy. Unfortunately, that was not the case here. Mistakes happen, but how a restaurant handles those mistakes says a lot about how much they value their customers. Based on this experience, I cannot recommend this restaurant and will not be returning.

Beef King's twist is that they add cheese on top and they will melt the cheese with a hand torch in front of your table. Got a medium portion. Portion is big enough for two, and the contents were tasty. The sauce has a little tomato-ish flavor, and the beef along with pieces of potato and daikon have soaked up the flavor. The melted cheese is mild but adds an extra and different texture to the dish. Also got an order of the pan fried dumplings, and those were okay. Overall the bill was $65 including tax.
