After numerous days in the hospital, my husband wanted some comfort food and this hit the spot. It met his expectations and met mine as well. The pork belly and beef short ribs were amazing! We did ask for more sesame oil than average, but they did deliver. Prior to finding this little gem, we went to two other KBBQ places and all were packed with long wait times. We were seen immediately. Although small, this place was perfect. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal and we will definitely be coming back again. read more

Really authentic food. I enjoyed the kimchi and short ribs the most. Service was professional and attentive. The booths are spacious and clean. The only improvement I'd make is new menus. It's a black & white paper that's hard to understand if you're not Korean or familiar with the cuisine. read more

Food was good for a Korean restaurant. We ordered chap chai, however the vermicelli was a little on the overcooked and chewy side . Taste was nice . Also ordered Spicy pork with rice. It's was good . Service was medium. No checking on us if we needed anything else or how is everything. Restaurant was clean . Bathroom needed a little work , toilet does not flush well. I would recommend this place if you are craving Korean food in Temecula. Especially after having fun at Pachanga. read more

Sura Korean Restaurant - Korean beer - Korean Near Me - Temecula, California

On the way to Palm Springs, we found this hidden gem of a Korean restaurant in Temecula. Honestly one of the best Korean restaurants I've been to in a while and it's as good and authentic as the food you get in Korea! The restaurant is small but clean. Service was friendly and professional. The menu has every main Korean entree you can think of from cooked meats to soups to noodles. The side dishes were fresh and tasty. Our food was delicious. We ate everything, not one piece of rice leftover haha! We left full and happy. I wish they had an authentic Korean restaurant like this in San Diego. Temecula is lucky to have them! If we ever drive by again, I would definitely return for another meal. read more

Craving for Korean soup so we decided to go here for dinner. The place is small but ok because we don't have to wait in line They have the standard Korean tofu soup. Though the serving size is smaller than other places we ate before. The gambit bbq beef meat is a bit chewy and sweet. Overall I will give this experience with 4.0 read more

I decided on Sura for lunch since i was in town and wanted something Korean and fabulous.Mission accomplished.... sort of. First off, the service was A+++, great hospitality!!! Now let's talk about the food. The bulgogi was fire!!!! OH. MY. KOGI!!!! I've had a lot of bulgogi in my 35+ years love affair w Korean BBQ, but this one? Easily top-tier!!! Melt in your mouth ribeye marinated in what I can only describe as Korean meat gold!! Sweet, savory, and sooooooo tender!!! I paired it w the Beef Soondubu, which came in hot (literally and figuratively). I asked for medium spice, but apparently Sura doesn't 't do mild here. It was more like "your mouth is now a volcano," but honestly, I loved every fiery spoonful of it!! Spicy food just hits different, like flavor in 4D!! Banchan was solid!!! Loved the bean sprouts the most. Crunchy, seasoned right, and made me feel like I was getting my veggies in between bites of molten broth and bulgogi bliss!!! BUT...............and this is a BIIIIIG BUT.... this is NOT the place to show up starving. I'm an AYCE KBBQ kinda person. I like to roll out of a Korean BBQ joint like I just lost a battle w the meat sweats. Sura, on the other hand, serves quality over quantity. Pricey, yessss!!!!! Delicious, absolutely!!! Full? ...eh, not quite. My wallet felt lighter, and so did my stomach. read more

Came on a Friday night, wanting to try food here, and while the ambience and the servers were familiar and kind, and how I was expect at a Korean restaurant, the taste of the food were off. The tofu stew had a major black pepper taste to it, and no gojugaru flavor at all. The squid pancake was also way too salty. Price of the food was too expensive for the portion they gave. Unfortunately I don't recommend this place for true Korean food lovers. I will not come back... read more

Came in for Valentine's Day dinner and as usual this place NEVER DISAPPOINTS!! Love the service, love everything on the menu I just wished they had steamed egg or the Korean rolled egg then I will be in Heaven. read more

Lunch after church on a beautiful Sunday and this resto never disappoints. This is THE BEST KBBQ in the valley. There galbi is to die for and I can say is high quality meat and the flavor is better than some KBBQ spots in Koreatown. I always order their galbi and Tofu combo and it's more than enough even for 2 to share!! If you haven't been here, I highly recommend this mom and pop place and let's support local business. I know you won't be disappointed!! read more

Sura Korean Restaurant - Galbi - Korean Near Me - Temecula, California

Located on the west of the 15 fwy in Temecula. We ordered the yuk gae jang (spicy beef soup), seollungtang (korean pho), and fried mandu. Loved everything. There is a lot of banchan! I hardly finish the whole soup, but here I did. They open until 9pm on Sunday, which is amazing. Plenty of parking, price is right, service is great...and they have soju! read more

When I can't get to ktown for comfort food, I come to Sura. It's owned by a family and totally feels like comfort food. It is not a very big restaurant but I've never had to wait for a table. Service is efficient and the food is served piping hot. They have a huge air purifier to help kept the air fresh so you don't sell like food when you leave. Tables are mostly booths which are comfy. The menu has a good section of items to satisfy almost what everyone is craving. I usually opt for the soft tofu soup combined with bulgogi. The portion is huge so I usually have lunch for the next day. read more

Every now and again I want some good kalbi. There's something about the way it's cut and marinated that makes this my go-to Korean craving. At Sura, they sure had some damn delicious kalbi. I especially like the particular marinade they had this time. That being said, the bulgogi was a little lackluster and lacked much flavor, especially in comparison to its short rib big brother. It was fine, but I remarked at dinner that maybe we should've just gotten two kalbi orders. I also thought the wait for service was kind of surprising. From the time it took to seat us, to getting our order taken, to asking for refills, and to finally asking for the bill--getting someone to come to the table was just slow. It was as slow as any restaurant ever be. As someone who asks for refills on something at least two or three times a meal, this is unacceptable. If it's a matter of coverage, hire one or two more people. If it's a matter of bad attitude, that needs to be addressed in training. I hate when the food is pretty good, but the service turns out to be pretty bad. The place is nice-looking and the food is good, but I don't know if I'd ever want to come back if every ask is a struggle to get someone to fulfill it. read more

Great food & great service, what more can you ask for? We were craving some soup & wanted Asian food & stumbled across this business. I want to acknowledge how accommodating this small mom & pop restaurant was for our big party that came in (20+ people post wedding weekend). They were champs at handling our big party & making sure all our orders were taken, our banchans were refilled, etc. I ordered the kimchi tofu soup, spicy level. To be honest, it is not that spicy, not as spicy as BCD would make it to give you an idea. Regardless, the soup was flavorful & decent amount of meat was given. The tofu soup comes with a bowl of rice. My partner ordered a beef tofu soup medium spice & also enjoyed his meal. I am impressed with how big the menu is. Everyone ordered different meals, from bibimbap to seollongtang & it all looked / smelled good! read more

Had dinner here at Sura Saturday night after seeing the restaurant a while ago. Wasn't too busy, got seated right away. Inside is nice and roomy, clean. Located in a shopping plaza across a newer hotel. Lots of parking. Menu is paper with photos, very easy to find what you wanna order. They offer a great selection of alcohol, I tried the Soju and it was really tasty. Owners very nice and attentive to everyone. Food didn't take too long to come out, I like how you get a little bit at a time. The banchan is so good, esp the potatoes. They offered to refill and bring us more, which we accepted, of course! We tried several dishes that were all good, portion sizes were good. Kids liked the food too. Everything fresh, delicious and hot when it came out. The tofu soup is a standout dish, the seafood combo flavors and the broth were so comforting and really hit the spot. read more

Delicious, authentic and the best Korean food I've had in the Temecula/Murrieta valley. The owners are very sweet and very service oriented. My only issue is the pricing. It's a bit expensive but considering I don't have to travel to Garden Grove for food Korean, I'll gladly pay. read more

A bit disappointed. We ordered the Galbi and Cold Noodle combo, and while the noodles were good, the Galbi was incredibly skimpy, only 4 pieces. The Pork Bulogogi was alright. What made it worse was the service. The server only checked on us once the entire meal, at the very END. When I finally got their attention to ask for a refill all th banchan, she was shocked and judging the request. I settled for a 2 item refill. Definitely won't be returning. read more

If looking for really good Korean BBQ, here it is! It's so great to find a really good Korean food restaurant right here in Temecula! My craving for Kim Chee and Soon tofu soup has been satisfied. Absolutely delicious. Me throughout the meal: yum, mmm so good, slurp, yum, etc. First time here I was able to talk husband into going here to eat, after sort of begging. We shared a combo of BBQ chicken and soon tofu soup, which came with the usual sides of Kim Chee, other pickled veggies, fish cake and potatoes. No left overs and we were both so full. It was all delicious! Second time here, I told husband no sharing, I want my own meal (lol). I got bulgogi beef combo which comes with Soon Tofu soup (my preference is with mushrooms). Husband ordered bibimbap. Okay, it was way too much food for me. That's okay, now I have left overs for lunch. Pairing the crunchiness of the pickled veggies with the marinated BBQ proteins and rice is a perfect match! And the Soon tofu soup was filled with delicious flavor and brings back memories of eating at a favorite place in Irvine. They cook the meat in the kitchen so no smoky fumes to deal with in dining area. Food comes out hot and perfectly prepared. Love this place! read more

We enjoyed our visit to Sura. The chicken sounded good. It was advertised as very spicy hot. We asked if it could be toned down. They were not sure so they offered teriyaki chicken instead. We went with that. Food was good. Loved all the little plates of veggies. My diet is pretty strick so we really didn't get to taste the best part of the Korean menu. Nice and friendly staff. Very clean and good lighting. read more

In December 2024, we stopped by to check out Sura Korean Restaurant. We love this family-owned place. Although it may not be too fancy, it gives a cozy and humble atmosphere for dining in. The servers were helpful and welcoming. We ordered Bulgogi and Bibimbap to go. The dishes were delicious, especially when the special sauce was added. Do not forget to ask for the fish cakes and spicy kimchi to complete the meal. I highly recommend Sura for those who crave Korean cuisine. read more

Sura Korean Restaurant - Sura Korean: 27451 Jefferson Ave, Temecula, CA 92590, 20241208 - Korean Near Me - Temecula, California

A cute Korean restaurant in an area that you are not ganna find many spots in, Sura definitely stood out as a place to check out for when I am craving Asian food. I actually tried to come one time before, but wanted to mention that the kitchen closes around 40 minutes prior to their official close time, so if you go anytime after that, they will kindly decline your patronage. On our second attempt, we were able to show up around an hour before closing and was able to be seated and gotten our orders from in around ~15 minutes. Our orders came out together after another 15 minutes so was not as bad service as many other people mentioned, but we were the last two parties in the restaurant so that maybe played a part. I personally ordered their beef soondobu and bibimbap in a stonepot set. My favorite had to be the soondobu. I got the mild which was just a small enough kick to enjoy without feeling too spicy, and felt the soup broth had a nice deep flavor to it without feeling too watered down. A very clear highlight of the meal. The bibimbap was a bit on the less saltier side for my liking (had to add a good chunk of gochujang) as well as not as crispy as I would like being in a stonepot, but otherwise the ingredients were nice and fresh and was pretty filling. Overall, a nice place to check out in Temecula if you are craving Korean food :) read more

Sura Korean Restaurant - Korean Near Me - Temecula, California

First time here. Wasn't too busy when we arrived for an early dinner. The variety of the menu was pretty good. Pricing is on the costly side, but I understand the current state with inflation and all. Service was pretty decent. Not too friendly but nothing to deterring. The restaurant was quiet. No music... I think music will add to the ambiance. Restaurant was clean. Food items were good- not too spicy or salty. Bossam was good, except they don't give you too much napa cabbage with the dish. Overall, pretty good Korean restaurant for the area. read more

A feast for the palate and for the eyes. Everything was delicious and we four left with full bellies and a little something to go. We ate family style with everyone trying a little bit of everything. It was a first time for our friends, who were not sure what to order. They were hooked after the first bite and raved about how much they enjoyed it. Yes our bellies were full but we did not feel stuffed. The service was amazing with our food being delivered promptly. We will be back :) read more

We had the bossam and it was absolutely delicious. Ive had a lot of bossam at different restaurants but my husband I agreed that this was the best one yet. It was so flavorful and full of umami. Easily feeds 2-3 people. It comes with a side of rice as well. Service was great, our server was super attentive and really sweet. Truly an authentic Korean restaurant. Definitely will be coming back again! read more

"The bossam was terrible." I used to visit Sura often, so I stopped by and ordered bossam again after a while. Even though I was very hungry, I couldn't even finish a quarter of it. The pork felt like it had been made at least a week ago--dry and tough--and the radish side dish also seemed old and dried out. This was very disappointing. I won't be coming back. Please do not serve unsold, old bossam in the future. . read more

Sura Korean Restaurant - Hot Stone Bibimbap & banchan - Korean Near Me - Temecula, California

There aren't many spots in Temecula to get authentic Korean food, so this restaurant is definitely one of my go-to's when I'm craving some soondubu jigae. However, it is on the pricier side when I compare to the prices in Koreatown, LA. The older couple that runs the restaurant is always really sweet to me though, so it doesn't bother me too much. Mostly everything I've ordered here has been great. I usually order either the bibimbap or the soondubu and the portion size is good. The last time I went, it was a very hot day so I ordered the naengmyun instead. It was delicious, only complaint was for $18 I would have appreciated if it included more meat. It only had one small sliver of beef on top, and I was still somewhat hungry afterwards. Other than that, it was very delicious and the noodles were perfectly cooked. Would recommend this spot if you are craving authentic Korean food and don't mind paying a little more. read more

Disgusting. It's in-edible. I'm Asian, had a few bites and walked out. Everything tasted like anchovies water.

Came here to try Korean food after finding google and yelp reviews. I don't recommend! Came here on Saturday around 11:30 right after they opened and when we walked in it smell so bad like sewer ... not sure if they were having a sewer issues but smelled really bad, but decide to give it a try. We ordered Yukgaejang- it was ok nothing special, not enough soup Soontofu combo with fish- the fish was not hot enough it served cold Tofu kimchee bokgum with pork- don't get it! It was sooo oily with sesame oil and the pork was not cooked enough... it didn't look like the picture from any of the reviews. However the service was ok, but I will not recommend this restaurant if you are looking for a good Korean food near Temecula. read more

Sura is hands down the best Korean restaurant in town. My boyfriend and I usually make the trip to Orange County when we're really craving Korean food, but I'm so glad we found Sura for the days we don't feel like driving out of town! We usually get the combo, and the bulgogi never disappoints. The soon tofu could be better, but it does the job when we're craving it. The banchan, though, is what keeps me coming back--I'm getting hungry just writing about it! The family here has always given us the best service, which makes the experience even better. read more
