Looking at the reviews on here I feel like this place has probably really stepped it up since the…read moreolder reviews. We went and we got 10 different side dishes and we could have refills on any of them. We ordered the two person set and had to take half the meat home because we got so much. We are normally people who take home food and we were super surprised there was no way we could eat all the food we got. The staff was super friendly and will also cook the meat for you if you want. The seating is a little awkward some of the chairs don't have backs but I feel like for most people you are leaning over cooking so you don't really notice, if you would want a different seat they seem happy to accommodate.

We were in the mood for some Korean food (mostly for the banchans) and went online to see which…read morerestaurants had the best selection. We saw array of banchans in a review of SURA and decided to check it out.  However, we received 3 small side dishes with our food and they were just ok. We were disappointed to say the least. The food we ordered was decent and the service was good, but one essential part of Korean dining experience are the side dishes and it was really lacking at SURA. We would probably not go back again as there are too many other places to try within the downtown Vancouver area.

Review Template ===…read more1. VERDICT/VALUE The Google reviews maybe hyped up my expectations; I might only swing by again if I were in the area. The prices were not really enticing enough to get past the food quality bar: which is exceeded by other sushi places in town. === 2. FOOD If Sushi Story excels at anything, it would be on providing large pieces of tempura, square-shaped :) Katsu Dinner Box ($23.95): It's good value for dinner: pork katsu on rice with dynamite roll, salad, four pieces of tempura, some fruit, and miso soup. Sashimi Dinner Box ($25.95) It's the kitchen sink: four pieces of sashimi, three pieces of nigiri, dynamite roll, four pieces of tempura, some fruit, a miso soup and an ebb sunomono. The shrimp in the sunomono were big but very odd-tasting - not sure if they went bad or what, but I would not do that again. The noodles were fine, if not really al dente. Prawn Tempura ($13.95): Six pieces of delights await you, lightly breaded for the most part. === 3. SERVICE Perhaps all but our server were Korean; our server was an older Japanese lady who treated us really well and catered to my little guy. I would be happy to be served at the restaurant again by the lady we had. === 4. ENVIRONMENT Don't let the nondescript parking lot outside fool you; it's a bit of a darker wood oasis that awaits you and it's older but pleasant. Groups may ideally be sized 6 or less, but there is plenty of space between booths/tables and wheelchairs and baby stroller would be welcomed easily. Parking is very much available in the shopping complex lot outside - with a lot of transient traffic from food delivery drivers.

The beef udon was delicious and I loved that it came with an onsen egg. The beef was slightly charred and made the so much more flavorful. We also ordered some gyozas and kaarage.

According to the owner it's only been about 5 months since they've opened. We're just tourists staying in the area and hoping Yelp could direct us to a decent place in Langford. Well we found one... the establishment is super clean with cheerful jazz background music. The curry is made from scratch, you could taste the subtle yet earthy notes. The menchi is the highlight, juicy yet packs a crunch and not oily at all... now that takes skill at the right temperature The udon reminds me of Korean style jam bons... noodle soup with flavors appearing to be wok/pan fried first, then added to the noodles and broth bringing out stronger seared flavors. All in all an enjoyable experience with lots of food for the money. Worth a visit.

The volcano was cool, as it came torched. It also comes with a lot of tuna sashimi, and I was impressed with this! The curry chicken katsu was quite dry so I would not recommend this dish. The chicken was very thin.

Their portions are fantastic, and for such a great price. The mixed veggies were excellent, the tuna was good, and I loved the squash croquette. One thing that I didn't like, was the tempera batter, it was a bit too hard. Next time, I would love to try the chef's special. One of my neighboring tables ordered it, and it looks like it would be good for 2-3 people to share if they ordered a few other small items. They have a dog friendly patio.
