It turned out the food was quite good! We ordered: - Bulgogi - Spicy Squid - Crispy Chicken - Soft Tofu Stew with seafood - Stir-fried Kimchi Tofu with pork The Soft Tofu Stew with seafood was especially good. Also, it was good to find a Korean place that served Stir-fried Kimchi Tofu with rice cakes. We ended up recommending Woori to some friends who weren't so high on it and they ended up going and enjoying it also!

The stew itself was quite packed with offal and blood sausage, and even a few pieces of lung. It also arrived piping hot. The broth, however, proved underwhelming. While spicy, it lacked depth of flavor. The entree came with a bowl of rice, bean sprouts, kimchi, and roasted seaweed laver. I surprisingly liked the kimchi. It was savory and not too tangy. Consider it's a food court, I won't penalize the presentation or diminutive banchan size too much. However, the stock needs work.

After paying for our meal, the waitress asked if we would like to try some lychee slush! We said yes and she brought over cute cups of slush with sprinkles. It was a tasty and refreshing way to end the meal. We'll definitely be back someday!

Galbi itself was pretty good, a touch chewy, decent flavor but not worth the extra cost in my opinion.

Would return for more dolsot in the future.

We had the chicken gangjeong half/half (hahaha flavor/ soy garlic). I have had a lot of korean fried chicken, and this ranks among the worst. The chicken didn't have the crisp you would expect from korean fried chicken. It was leaning towards the soggier side. What was even worse was that the soy garlic and the hahaha flavors did nothing for us. The flavors were bland and just straight up sweet. The soy garlic didn't have the punch of garlic or the umami and saltiness of the soy sauce. The hahaha flavor was simultaneously incomprehensible and unsatisfying. All in all, this place was a disappointment.

Eight years. That's how long I've been coming to Sura, and it has never once let me down…read more The all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ here is fantastic. The quality of the meats is consistently excellent, and the side dish bar alone is worth the trip. An entire spread of banchan where you take as much as you can handle. Everything is fresh, and the flavors are incredible every single visit. What keeps me coming back beyond the food: the service is fast and friendly, and you're never rushed out the door. I've interacted with the owner multiple times over the years -- efficient, welcoming, and clearly cares about running a great restaurant. The ambiance rounds it all out. One practical tip: give yourself extra time for parking. There's a lot in the back plus metered street parking on the front, side, and back, but weekends can get tight. Plan for it and you're golden. Eight years of consistency doesn't happen by accident. Highly recommend.

For the barbecue, there was beef chicken, pork, shrimp, calamari and baby octopus. We did not have the deluxe meet choices because there was more than enough in the cheaper one There was a beautiful salad bar, but there was so much food. We decided to skip it. However, there was kimchi, daikon, radish, salad, and potato salad that we tried. The standout of the barbecue was the sirloin steak There was also watermelon for dessert We did not leave hungry and we decided to skip dinner for that night Also included in the price were quite a few appetizers. We couldn't include all of them, but the ones we had were very, very good. The service was excellent I highly recommend this restaurant

The food was okay, but not amazing in quality or quantity - just all right and expensive. Overall, I probably wouldn't come back, but this was by no means a bad experience.

The beef tasted good, but the amount served was hard to justify for the price. The japchae and soybean stew were also frustratingly small. The cheese and potato pancake was overly oily, and the japchae leaned a little too sweet. The egg soufflé, tteokbokki, and side dishes were enjoyable, but they weren't enough to make the meal feel worth it. For what this place charges, I expected much more. A nice setting and a few good dishes don't make up for poor value.

I was…read moreexcited to try their bibimbap, which caught my attention from their advertising board on the street. Unfortunately, it was the worst bibimbap I've ever had at a restaurant. There were barely any toppings, the ground beef that cost extra to get was cold and hard, and even though the rice came in a heated serving pot, there somehow weren't any crispy parts. Not worth it for $17. The army soup hot pot that we got to share was definitely better in taste and was properly heated up, but at $37 for not very high quality ingredients (ramen, sausage, spam, and gochujang sauce), it was also a disappointment for our wallets. The vibe of the place make it seem totally capable of being a great hangout spot (round tables, k-pop concerts playing on TVs on one wall). I just wish the quality of food could improve to match the price.
