We split the 3-meat platter with brisket, pulled pork, and sausage, plus tater tots and baked beans. The portion was more than enough for the two of us. The brisket was tender with a nice smoky flavor, the pulled pork was juicy, and the sausage had just the right snap and seasoning. Everything was delicious! The tater tots were perfectly crispy, and the meal came with a soft brioche bun and pickle slices, which were the perfect finishing touch. The only thing I'd rate a little differently were the beans. They had a slightly burnt flavor to me, but my husband absolutely loved them, so your mileage may vary! The restaurant has a casual, no-frills atmosphere with just a handful of indoor tables, but the friendly service, generous portions, and reasonable prices make it an easy place to recommend. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in town! Great barbecue, great value, and a satisfying meal from start to finish.

The fish was fried to perfection, and the halibut inside was a steamy triumph. I added some chipotle lime mayo for the chips. The tartar was lemony and crisp.

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 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.

FOOD Half & Half ($37.50) If you're getting chicken, you're going all in on boneless (or bone-in) and at least they offer the ability to try a couple of flavours while you're at it! This time, we tried: - Sweet Honey - decent, but a little too sweet for me... - Original - my tastebud lean towards Popeyes' offering but this was alright. === 3. SERVICE The counter service was pleasant on the phone and in-person. The long wait times (45 mins - gulp) leave a lot to be desired, but also point to the popularity of the place. === 4. ENVIRONMENT It's simple inside if not a little dark, but clean enough. There are tables for small groups of 2 or 4 to eat at and wheelchairs and baby strollers would fit. Supposedly, the joint was started by a 6/49 lotto winner, who since sold it to the current owners.

The moment I saw the words "Chubby Dumpling" on my Yelp search, it was in immediate yes. We walked over, and it's definitely a small family run business. It's very generic looking inside. We were sat by the window, and our orders were taken quickly. In short time the two items we ordered came out: - Pork & Cabbage Dumplings: Excellent. They're plump, they're fresh, and they were delicious. I can see why they sell them frozen to take home too. - Tteokbokki (떡볶이): Very good. I can't say I'm a good judge of tteokbokki, but it was fresh, had good texture, and not overly spicy. Service is very friendly.

We raced there to make sure we weren't going to miss them (they closed at 4pm on this day) and as soon as we got in the door we looked around and pretty much ordered a little but of everything. The salamis and cured meats are spectacular, the selection is out of this world, the head cheeses are tasty, and the liverwurst and mortadella blew my mind. We had the meat sweats for days because we took everything back to our hotel, wrapped it in baguettes and cheese and just ate forever. It was pretty ridiculous but we couldn't have it any other way. Customs wouldn't let us take it back across the border, and we couldn't wait long enough anyway. Best money I've spent in Victoria, hands down. Do not miss this store if you're looking to host a party, have a great dinner, or impress someone with with a locally made meat-gift! I don't think I have to go overboard next time but I don't think I could visit Victoria again and not come back for more meat.

I recently tried the Koryo fries and they were fantastic (okay I wasn't looking for something healthy for myself that day, parental double standard).
