I've been to Sura many times before, but mainly for their lunch special ($25 for a whole variety of dishes and pork bbq - pretty worth it!). 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. read more

Last visit Jan 2026 dine in (they're takeout is also really good) Royal Pork Galbi - 10/10, 5 stars. Absolutely the juiciest, most succulent sweet BBQ pork. I can't recommend it enough. The lunch special portions are smaller, but the dinner sized one, we have leftovers. Seafood Pancake: 9/10, 4.5 stars. Our favourite one overall; some Korean seafood pancakes have crispier batter, some others have more seafood at the cost of batter cohesion. This strikes a nearly perfect balance, and the seafood is perfectly cooked. Their half kimchi pancake is also tasty (including with the lunch set) Kimchi Fried Rice: my favourite fried rice. Slightly spicy from the kimchi (gochujang) but with beef and a runny fried egg on top. 10/10 5 stars. Sides: in particular, I really like the Sweet & Spicy Gochujang salad, the soy bean curd slices, the sweet soy potatoes (when they have them). When we went, they were running a CNY promotion: 20% off except on the set lunches, 27% off takeout, started Jan 26th. We've eaten here many times, they haven't disappointed yet. With refillable small dishes (anything in the smallest metal bowls + salads). Our favourite Korean restaurant. Overall 9.8/10, 5 stars Recommend: everything read more

We had a big group of 11 people and I didn't know they take reservations. We did have to do 2 tables since they don't have a table that big. I haven't been to Sura in years but everything was very tasty! We had the Pork Galbi which came in a pretty big portion with a sweet marinade. Definitely enough for 2-3 people. Also had the rice cakes, seafood pancake and bossam (small size) and some new beef patty things that you grill briefly. The portion for the seafood pancake and rice cakes were much bigger than we expected so we had plenty of food. Also plenty of side dishes! read more

I really liked the layout of this place. It was clean and actually Korean. I had the beef kalbi and it was good. Quality of meat was nice but I felt like the marinade was a little bit on the strong stronger size side for the thickness of the meat. I really enjoyed the rib fingers because I felt like I could actually taste the natural taste of the meat and if you wanted to add to it, you could dip it in the various sauces provided. Banchan was good. I dont see many places, at least down south of the border that offers banchan like garlic, stems crab salad. It was actually a nice treat. Not sure why, we also got the rice cake with vegetables. The meat in the dish was very tender and nice cuts of beef. We were sooo full. Id like to come back and try their other dishes. read more

We walked in near the opening time on a weekend, we were seated and then the restaurant quickly filled up afterwards. The interior is modern and minimally decorated, but it feels quite cozy and has traditional table settings with brightly coloured cushions for sitting. I loved the little pop of colour everywhere. The staff came by and gave us hot barley tea right away. We had just visited South Korea recently and drank barley tea often, so this was such a welcome and comforting drink. We decided to try the $25 lunch set (per person and minimum 2 people to order). There was SO much variety and food, it was amazing. I loved the Congee, Herb Pork Belly, Tangsuyuk or Sweet & Sour Pork, and of course the Grilled Pork Galbi! The congee had a creamy thick texture and it was lightly savoury. The perfect complement to the other more seasoned dishes. The Pork Belly was flavourful, rich, fatty and paired so nicely with the pickled radish. The Tangsuyuk was crispy, had a light batter, and a deliciously tangy but sweet sauce. The Chinese version is one of my childhood favourite dishes, and this Korean version of the classic dish was definitely very enjoyable. Lastly, one of our favourites were the Royal Pork Galbi that we were able to grill ourselves. We loved grilling it to our preferred level of charredness and the meat was so tender and flavourful. Overall a very enjoyable lunch and would come back for a special occasion or an occasional treat! read more

Restaurant Richmond 4151 Hazelbridge Way, Aberdeen Centre Richmond, BC V6X 4J7 (604) 370-5540 info@sura-koreanbbq.co Saw it on TikTok, decided to celebrate a family member's birthday there. We called to make reservations for 11.30am on a weekday. 11 dishes for $25 per person. Usually when they have deals like this, some of the dishes are a hit & miss. Well...not this restaurant, all the 11 dishes were executed well & yummy... we liked every dish, it was nicely flavoured. Plus 3 banchan that consist of seaweed, kimchi & potatoes. The raw bulgogi pork was very nicely seasoned There was alot of food! We had to take some home, I saw people walking in with their own takeout containers. Wise move, they do charge 0.50 cents for each takeout container. So bring some of your own in case you cannot finish the food. Go in with an empty stomach & big appetite! Highly recommend, it is busy for lunch (the menu is only available for lunch) on a weekday, I cannot imagine the weekend. Space in the restaurant is ample, staff are friendly and lots of parking available in Aberdeen Mall read more

The $25 sura lunch menu is back !! Not everyone in your table needs to get it but you get the most value out of it when everyone does. I lost count how many dishes came but guaranteed you'll be full after ! There was pork galbi, deep fried fishes, multiple salads, soups and more included. So much variety !! Would come back again ! read more

Not sure why this Sura has a lower-than-expected Yelp rating since it's one of the better Korean restaurants in Richmond. Their meat quality is top-notch as well as the other ingredients in their dishes. Food is always consistent and service is always friendly. A few of the items on the menu are different between the Vancouver and Richmond location. Haven't had a bad experience here yet... Sura never disappoints! One of our go-to spots when craving Korean in Richmond. read more

Fabulous KBBQ in Aberdeen mall! Ordered the premium royal galbi with excellent marbling. The extra saam set, while traditional, hid the fantastic tasting beef. The beef deserves its own personal time in your mouth. Elevated quality bonchon (refillable, of course!). Also got the Galbi-jjim - delicious, tender, braised short ribs with a savory sauce. The servers were friendly and attentive. Classic modern look with good suction fans so you won't have the cologne de boeuf when you walk out. read more

Bit of a wait on a Wednesday and I totally get why! The lunch special is very worth it at 25 CAD - you get a TON of food and a lot of variety. While some dishes weren't our favorite (fried pork) others were really great (pork belly, pickled radish banchan, Japchae). Free parking at Aberdeen Centre and you can wander Oomomo after to walk off lunch. read more

The washroom had a weird sign not to use your feet to flush...lol read more

Sura Korean BBQ - Bbq meat & green seafood pancake - Korean Near Me - Richmond, British Columbia

This establishment is in the Aberdeen Mall in Richmond. Stopped by mid week for lunch...and came for the $25 lunch special. We were advised this location had temporarily stopped serving the lunch special. Opted for the Bibim-bap ($21) and the Royal Marinated Galbi ($55) for bbq. The presentation of all the dishes was very good and the beef was very tender...great marbling on the beef. I liked the variety of dishes that accompany the bbq. There was no issue with the service and our server was very pleasant and attentive. It was a positive food experience and happy to recommend Sura Korean BBQ. read more

Got recommended this place by several friends, and it definitely lived up to expectations! It's located in the aberdeen mall on the corner, so it's fun to digest and walk around Hmart/other stores. The royal kalbi was amazing and super tender; the portion was pretty good for the price! Highly recommend the galbitang as well. I'd probably wouldn't order the herb bossam again; the potato pancake was more like a large hashbrown which I wasn't expecting, but still tasty! The interior is super modern and open feeling, love the pillow cushions. Service was good as well! read more

Food 5/5 Service 5/5 Ambiance 5/5 OMG I swear this is currently one of my all time favourite restaurants in Richmond. Sura's lunch special is the best deal in town when it comes to top quality food for a really really dang good price. This is not AYCE but sure feels like it. We were so full and carrying out tons of food afterwards. For $25 per person, you are treated to what feels like a never ending amount of food.... And every single morsel was DELICIOUS and so fresh! Two salads even which we weren't expecting! The bbq meat was so good and I loved the fried chicken. Seriously do not even hesitate to try this place... I promise you will love it! There were 6 of us and 3 were teenagers who are big picky eaters and they loved it! The waiters were super friendly and available all the time! Love and we will be back! I hope they don't raise the prices. Best Korean food around and such an amazing deal! The variety of food is fantastic! read more

We tried this restaurant inside Aberdeen Mall first floor. Place gets busy. Inside decor is nice. Almost looks like Japanese seats with cushion. Place is not too smokey with their high ceiling. Staff was nice and attentive. Food was decent. Meat was flavorful but not as tender. Maybe we overcooked. We got the premium beef galbi amd marinated pork. We also ordered Japchae, seafood pancake, tofu soup with beef (should order with seafood instead), and green salad. We shouldn't have ordered the green salad since they provide a small salad as one of their sides. We also like their fish cake side but other sides we didn't like as much like kim chi, daikon, and mackarel. They refill the sides upon your request. The only reason I give this 3 star is because I have had better meat and this place is quite pricey for me (party of 4). read more

Dip your feet into an authentic Korean experience and try SURA! My boyfriend was just amazed at how incredible the food was. He's hard to typically impress too! He not only enjoyed the kimchi rice, but their galbi was MELT. OFF. THE BONE. Yes, no lie. I LOVED THEIR SIDE DISHES!!!! The kimchi and the potatoes are to die for! They kept it coming and we couldn't say no!! The presentation of everything was incredible. Everyone was pretty excited to have their meals, as the loud sounds enveloped the restaurant. The laughter and the impressive "This is sooo goood" was coming from the right and left of us. Finally, we took a gamble and ended up with the potato pancake that left us soo impressed! We have never tried it from anywhere else, so our standards for any kind of pancake that's savoury is quite high!! We still drop by to order food from this place to go, but the line and the wait is sooo long. It is always crowded with a time limit per seat of 2 hours or so! So hurry up and line up before the place opens up for dinner! That'll guarantee you a good seat! read more

Passed by Sura Korean BBQ in Aberdeen Center on a dozen occasions and always wondered why there was always a line up? With the pandemic lowering the number of dine in patrons, finally decided to give this place a try. There was no line up, but the hostess still recommended reservations. Before our entrée came, we were first served the customary side dishes (potato cubes in sweet sauce, sweet beans, and kimchi). It was cold outside so me and my date decided to try their "Gum-Ja Tung" potato soup with pork bone. The soup was served in a hot pot filled with vegetables, glass noodles, and pork bone. Our waitress used tongs and mixed all the ingredients for us for the initial mix and advised us to keep stirring once the soup starts boiling to bring out all the flavours. The pot was of a good portion size and plenty for two (our pot had 6 pork bones!!!). The soup had a kick but was not overpowering. I've had "Gum-Ja Tung" at other establishments and I would say it's just about average. Really looking forward to coming back to try their BBQ items. Ambiance is definitely contemporary with an abundant of oak wood panelling, marble countertops and LED lighting. Wait staff were nice and checked on us on a couple of occasions to refill our teas and our side dishes. There are plenty of free parking in the mall's parking lot. read more

Sura has been around for a very long time and I had lunch there maybe twice, but ever since the pandemic hit and I've only been ordering takeout, I've had Sura at least 6 times. I really enjoy their food and they're available on ubereats. By far the best value items I think they have are the hot pots. I've tried all 3 in the small size ($35), and I'd say either the pork bone hotpot or beef and mushroom hotpot are my favourites, depending if I feel like spicy or not. The pork bone flavour is really good, and if it's too spicy you can add more broth and make it a meal for days. The beef hotpot is also very tasty and the beef slices are very good quality. We typically like to add our own extra veggies and hotpot toppings so it can easily serve 5-6 people. The Korean army hotpot is alright as well, but the soup isn't as tasty. I do like the variety of items it comes with though. Oh, and the hotpots all come with two bowls of rice, potato noodles and banchan. I've also had their rice cakes. The royal rice cake ($22) is a little better I think, very tasty with really good quality beef pieces. The spicy one ($20) is very good as well, but it only comes with some fish cake. Can't go wrong with either. The beef short rib soup ($16) and bibimbap ($15) are just okay. Pork bone soup comes in an individual portion for $17, I think the hotpot size is a better deal. Dishes I would pass on would be the ginseng chicken soup ($29)(bland) and royal galbi short rib ($42). The short rib is a really small portion for the price. I guess the quality is supposed to be good? However the beef that cake with the royal rice cakes was more tender and tasty for some reason. In terms of service, I've always had a good experience. They're helpful on the phone (when you can get a hold of them) and once the ubereats order somehow got cancelled last minute (not by either of us) but they let me pick up the food anyway. Sometimes they are willing to swap the beans banchan with something else but recently they haven't been able to. I will definitely be ordering from them again, especially their hotpot. Their food is very tasty and I'd recommend checking them out for sure. read more

A go to Korean restaurant in Aberdeen Center, for its delicious food, wonderful staff and ambiance. The food here has always been delicious and graciously served, meats were well marinated and fresh, plenty of side dishes and staffs are always on standby for helps needed. We always go here for their lunch set which I think is one of their best deal for a price of $25 each person you will already be so full for the serving was just right with a variety of side dishes meats, soup, fish and veggies. And I like the Korean rice punch they serve after meal. Went as well once for the dinner set and it was almost like a festive for the amount of food. They also have other single serving if you don't prefer bbq set such as bibimbap which is one of my favourite from them. I would also recommend their Korean Chicken Soup or Samgyetang it was as delicious and satisfying soup for the soft tender chicken and with just a pinch of coarse salt you will taste the flavour of it. read more

Makes sense why it's one of the favorite Korean places by the locals! It's rare to have KBBQ that have other dishes that outshine the KBBQ meat itself. We got the royal marinated galbi and it is so tender and juicy. Hands down and all time favorite is the galbitang . It's so flavorful and rich -- unlike many other galbitang I've ever had. The seafood pancake is also very good -- not too fried and oily as some of the other places. We also got the beef rice cake which I think is probably the more average dish out of anything I've ordered. MUST GET: Galbitang read more

This place is so beautiful inside with an upscale feel but the servers are sweet, accommodating and laid back. My friend had heard about it from her brother & we were hungry for KBBQ so we decided to check it out & I'm so glad we did! It's located inside of an Asian mall in Richmond BC, so I wasn't expecting it too feel so fancy. It's really aesthetic & gorgeous inside...everywhere, even the bathroom. They have a really affordable lunch set with tons of choices for only $25/person Canadian but we wanted something lighter since we had plans to go to the Richmond Night Market later that evening, we were there around 5 PM. We decided to share some marinated kalbi(beef short ribs, cut off the bone) & a cold noodle dish since it was hot outside. Such good choices! The noodle dish was refreshing and full of great texture...the noodles had a bouncy chew, broth was chilled so perfectly with some crushed ice pieces, thin slices of cucumber, a nice think hunk of watermelon & half of a hardboiled egg. Our meet was the perfect size for the 2 of us & the quality was great, well marinated & tender. We got to grill it ourselves to our liking so we had some crispy, burnt edges that were so tasty...yum! I rate Korean restaurants by their banchan & Sura did NOT disappoint. They served us Napa kimchi that was a little on the fresher side, not too fermented, but still good, med size salad with romaine & mungbean sprouts with a Gochujung drizzle, sweet & savory simmered potatoes, a stewed down eggplant dish, but my FAVORITE was the chunks of daikon simmered to the perfect texture in a broth that was gingery and slightly fishy...it was bright red but not spicy, I LOVED it! The perfect spot for a light meal but if you are hungry...you can really get a great variety with quality fresh ingredients with one of their set menus...I'm pretty sure they have a dinner one too but they also have so much to choose from including hot pots that come in small or large sizes! I would definitely go back with my family or large party! read more
