    Tempura/Beef Bulgogi lunch set
    Kelly K.

    Yelp lead me to Sura. I saw the great reviews and the best health inspection score when I was searching for Korean food in Oxnard. I have eaten at Sura twice this week and had the lunch special choosing tempura and beef bulgogi. Both times the service was better than average. Both times the food was delicious. The tempura reminded me of the tempura I grew up eating in California with the exception that they used panko crumbs on the shrimp. Nice! The veggies had tempura batter. Beef bulgogi is so tasty here. And the rice with beans reminded me of the Korean meals I had frequently in Virginia. The salad was fresh with a refreshing dressing. The radish soup was comforting. The bachan here are tasty. And the potsticker is nice and crispy. Best sit down Korean place I have been to in California. I really appreciate the lunch set, which provides a complete meal for one.

    Jajangmyeon (짜장면)
    Ryan E.

    I've visited this quaint Korean restaurant in Oxnard a few times over the last few years, so a review is a bit overdue....so here goes. I had the beef jjajangmyeon (black bean noodles), which was really good, as were the side dishes (kimchi, radish, sweet potato). Service was excellent, and maybe because the restaurant was slow at the time, but my food got out to my table rather quickly. In my handful of times visiting Sura, they have come through every time....감사합니다~~

    I love Sura's lunch and used to come here often, but since COVID-19, I have had fewer opportunities to have lunch there. I've been here a few times since then, but this time I came here for lunch for the first time in a while. However, I think prices have gone up overall. It's a shame that the lunches, which used to be reasonably priced, no longer feel like such a good deal. The taste hasn't changed, but whereas there used to be a lot of side dishes on the side, there are now only a few. That's unfortunate, but in these times of high prices, it may be unavoidable. However, knowing what the lunch was like before, I no longer felt like I was getting a good deal. Whenever I come here I always order the spicy seafood tofu soup. You can adjust the level of spiciness, which is nice. The soup comes with Korean purple rice. The service is friendly and good. It's located on Seabredge, so you can dine while watching the boats. The location is great. I often take a walk around here after a meal. There is ample parking in front of the restaurant. If you like Asian food, you should try Sura.

    BBQ beef with seafood soup
    Tan P.

    My family had a very nice and relaxing lunch on a Sunday afternoon here. We were seated right away and the restaurant smelled amazing. It is also very clean and warm. The service is very friendly and quick. The restaurant got filled up pretty quickly after we arrived at noon. Our lunches came out very quickly, too, and the servings are just the right size for adults, but too much for children (they don't offer a children menu). All of our lunch entrees were good, but the Chicken GangJeong (orange chicken) was a little on the spicy side. The price is a little high for a lunch, but the serving sizes and quality service makes up for it.

    Bi bim bap with beef
    Nate E.

    Bi bim bap was very good and had a good amount of portions of all ingredients. Best to include some chili sauce. Only downside is how fast the meal cooled down. Service was great and fast. Ambiance wasn't too bad considering a Tuesday night, very peaceful. Would go again.

    Soft tofu soup
    Lehi L.

    A cozy little sit down (recommended) spot in Oxnard! Service is friendly and welcoming. Food is always appetizing and devoured. My go to is their Bul Go Gi beef bowl & Ja Jang Myun. Little one loves their soups, particulaly the soft tofu soup. Must try their Osama bulgogi. Would highly recommend this place especially on a chilly day/night to warm your belly! So glad for this place and Matna 1631 for an 805 Korean go-to!

    This place is great! We came in for a birthday. It's a small restaurant but fit a table of 11 in. The food was incredible. I had one of the bulgogi bowls with pork. The pork was delicious. The service was friendly as well. Definitely a hidden gem!

    Mandu Soup
    Rebecca G.

    I came in for some soup to go... Great location at Sea Bridge near Vons, the UPS Store and Blenders etc. They have a small dining space and you can see the marina from their large windows. Lots of parking available too. The young lady who helped me, recommended the soup, I was having a hard time deciding and she said the Mandu was her favorite... thanks for that! Very very expensive soup!! 2 Mandu soups (their dumpling soup) $58 holy schnikey! **WORTH EVERY PENNY!** Oh my gosh! The best! Most flavorful soup! VERY generous helping LOADED with glass noodles and many of the yummiest dumplings! The filling is so tasty-a blend of minced beef, pork and veggies! They kind of look like giant fluffy potstickers :o) It also comes with a side of their colorful brown rice! On the side they also give several little containers of things you can add to the soup, a kimchi, a pickled spinach, a container w/some chunks of a squash like things? And a container w/these fishy cake like noodles? They look a little like the won ton strips you put in salads. Anyway! This was by far the best soup I've had ANYWHERE! My husband loved it too! He kept making yum noises as he was eating it. While I've only tried their soup? I highly recommend coming here! I look forward to trying more of their menu!

    Chicken Wings
    Nigel T.

    Sura was pretty good. We walked in to quick and friendly service and were seated quickly. Nothing about the inside decor really stood out to me but it is on the Oxnard Harbor so that's pretty cool. It's suitable for dates, friendly or family gatherings. The food was good, I got chicken wings and japchae for the table, and then we all ordered different "lunch boxes" which is a choice of two meats and it comes with rice, salad, radish soup (excellent), kimchi, potatoes, and gyoza. I also noticed lots of people ordering the Stone Bowl soup. It's a boiling hot pot and the presentation is pretty cool. I'll be back to try that. If you like Korean food you definitely should give Sura a try.

    Tempura
    Dianna K.

    This was our first time here. The staff are so friendly. The radish soup was very light and flavorful. We then had the rice stone bowl with beef ribs. There is eggplant, corn, radish, zucchini all very thinly sliced. They serve a fried egg on top. You mix it all together and add their house sauce and enjoy. We then ordered the beef ribs dinner. The tempura was very light and crispy. The beef ribs are tender and well seasoned. The sides they bring were fresh and helped with cleaning the palate. We will be back for sure.

    Outside restaurant
    Jolie F.

    Great to find a little diversity in Oxnard- Actually in this shopping mall you will find Korean, Japanese and Mexican food. All nested along the canals of Oxnard. We decided to take in some Korean food on a Saturday afternoon just as they were opening at 11:30. We were the first into the restaurant, that looks to be quite clean in the dinning area. The restaurant features small booths and tables. Unfortunately no outside seating along the canals. Sura offers both lunch an dinner specials/combos. The lunch specials with the soft tofu soup or one of the other two choices with a side protein, rice and more will run you into the mid 20s. A bit pricey for lunch but the meal was very satisfying in taste. The food was ample in size, but my friend said the meal use to be bigger and cheaper. As we all know everything has gone up since covid, except for pay check. Anyways the flavoring was spot on. My spicy tofu soup was very good and spicy at medium- you can select your level of spice- don't go too crazy! Plus I had some flavorful chicken on the side. The food was popping hot! And the service was very attentive. And before we left on a Saturday afternoon the restaurant was filled. As mentioned, I was very pleased with my meal and its flavor. I think the only holdback in visiting again is the price for a "quick" lunch.

    Vegetable soup
    Jessica R.

    This place is authentic and delicious! I got the vegetable soup and my guy got the bulgogi and the chicken Gang Jeong. Food was so flavorful! Kimch was fresh! The food came out hot and quick, server was super helpful and this place is small and intimate. Worth every penny!

    Radish soup (complimentary)
    Helen K.

    I was craving some Korean food so I popped into this restaurant while up in Ventura to check it out. There were so many options but I went with the lunch combo which includes tofu soup or mandu (dumpling) soup or tempura with a side of protein. I chose the tofu soup (seafood) with bbq ribs and it came with 2 fried mandu (dumplings), rice, complimentary radish soup, and mini salad. It was a lot of food for the combo! The soondubu (tofu soup) was a little more sweet than I normally eat it as but it still tasted super yummy.

Located currently inside the Ventura Theatre, you will find parking in the rear parking lot. Only open on the weekends, I had to plan my visit and stopped by on a Saturday 20 min after they opened. They had a line out the door! I took this as a GREAT sign. After waiting in line for 10 min we placed our order. We got a 1/2 pound of Tri Tip and Brisket, one sausage link, a side of Mac and cheese, brisket gravy mashed potatoes and chili beans. This ran us $70 bucks and it WAS WORTH IT. The brisket was the star of the show as it was very flavorful and smoky and cooked to perfection. The tri tip was good, just needed a bit more seasoning/salt for my liking. But it was cooked to perfection. The Mac and cheese was phenomenal as well along with gravy and mashed potatoes. Over all, would have to rate this place a 8 out of 10. Make sure you stop by and support this local buisness. Every penny spent here was worth it and I already can't wait to come back again. Thanks Ruff House BBQ for the great lunch, till next time.

I'm a self-admitted BBQ purist, impartial to NC BBQ, but have also had some of the best BBQ in TX (Terry Blacks, Goldees, and Franklin), and this is simply not TX BBQ. The restaurant is situated off the beaten path in the business district, but it's impossible to miss with the huge smoker sitting out front. It's a small restaurant with just a few tables and the ordering situation is a bit wonky (just one small window to order and pickup from). The staff was ultra-friendly and the food came out quick. As for the food, it was just okay... The BBQ itself wasn't bad, but it was definitely precut and kept in warmers (this would give a pit master down in TX a myocardial infarction as this is a huge "no no"); the sides were actually really good though. The total was about $30 for lunch, which to me was a bit high based on the quality of the BBQ. Overall... Not bad, not great, but not certainly TX BBQ.

I've had the chance to try their BBQ at local events around Ventura County, and it always left an impression. They make some darn good BBQ. BUT for this visit we ended up highlighting something just as exciting...their vegetarian options! It definitely says a lot when a barbecue place has great non meat options. I came with my friend Raquel (yelp elite) for lunch and we went all in on their vegetarian plates...well with one exception, we ordered the deviled eggs too. Let's start there: Their famous Candied Bacon Deviled Eggs are a must. Creamy, flavorful filling, lightly battered egg, topped with crispy bacon...yeah, they're as good as they sound. 10/10. Now for the vegetarian standouts: The Fried Avocado Bites were simple but done so right. Perfectly fried and paired with house made sauces that really brought everything together. Super shareable and perfect as a starter. 10/10. The Cauliflower Tacos were a reminder that you absolutely do NOT need meat for a great taco. These were hearty and loaded with (again) incredible sauces. My friend was obsessed and I get why. They were good, but I would prefer a meat protein taco at a spot like this. 7/10 for me. Beyond the food, the experience really shines here. The space has this perfect mix of country charm and rock n roll edge which is such a fun vibe. Service was top notch, and we love when owners are present and genuinely care. They stopped by to check in, which always makes a place feel extra special.

Really appreciated that. Overall, bummed out I wasn't able to try their BBQ. The options I did try were all really good. I would come back.
