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. read more

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~~ read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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! read more

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. read more

The food here is delicious! One of the doctors that I work with is Korean, and he really enjoyed this place. He typically tries to find the most authentic Korean food, and he said this place comes very very close. On my second occasion, I brought my partner and he very much enjoyed it. We got a lunchbox and a bulgogi soup, the prices are a little higher, but I think the portions reflect that price, fresh food and delicious at that! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

I used to love coming here. The portions were great. I always ordered the soft tofu with seafood and it was always delicious and well ratioed with seafood. Today I ordered it and it was disappointing. It barely had any seafood. It was mainly tofu. It's a pricey soup, and it's definitely not worth it because of the lack of seafood. I told the server about it, she was nice enough to talk to the chef. She took my bowl to the chef and the chef said he put the same amount as he always does. I told the waitress I have gotten this before several times, have been coming here for years this used to have more seafood. The waitress then talked to the owner. The waitress said the owner said the portions are the same as always. I told the waitress there is no way this has always been the same portion. I have always been happy to get this soup and I have never complained before until now. I showed her that every time I spooned my soup all I kept getting was only tofu. There was sadly nothing she can do. 3 tiny pieces of squid legs, 3 tiny clams and one shrimp is a joke and a total rip off!! Don't lie to me and say the portions never changed. You can't BS a now former loyal customer. I will never return here. Thanks for nothing! read more

I love this restaurant ever since I have lived here on Oxnard. We always go here for the soft tofu soup ! It just go so well with the purple rice. The bulgogi was very tender and flavorful . Service was good, our water glasses were kept full, as well as another round of banchan ( those little garnishes they served with your food, we love them !). The restaurant was clean, as well as nicely decorated. The prices were a bit steeper compared to other restaurants but you can't go wrong with the quality they serve! We will always go back ! read more

Sura - Sura special of bulgogi and seafood tofu soup, with rice and banchan - Korean Near Me - Oxnard, California

Hands down the best Korean restaurant in Oxnard/Ventura! It is not a problem at all that this is not ayce kbbq because the food is so good. We ordered the mixed greens, vegetable jap chae, spicy pork, and spicy tofu soup. My favorite item here is the spicy pork. It is super flavorful and super good with their kimchi. Their banchan items are also very good. The fish cakes are very tasty. The service was very nice. They were very attentive and made sure that we had the banchan was filled. 10/10 restaurant, would totally come back for more! read more

With so few Korean restaurants in the area I'm so happy that this restaurant did not disappoint. Service was excellent from beginning to end, our waitress was very attentive. The seafood pancake was delicious! The tangy dipping sauce really enhanced the flavor. The spicy pork was very tasty and not too spicy, a mild/medium spicy level. The soft tofu soup was also very good but too spicy even though I ordered mild, it was even more spicy than the pork, so I don't know if they accidentally put too much of the spicy paste, but the waitress helped remedied it by bringing me extra bowls of broth to help tone it down. So if you cannot eat spicy then I recommend getting the "0" level just in case. The BBQ ribs were perfectly marinated and very tender. The mandu soup was very yummy, the dumplings were quite big and came with the glass noodles too. Considering that it was part of the combo the portion was actually pretty big so you're actually your moneys worth. The Beef Bibim Bob was also very tasty, each mouthful had the blended flavors of the meat, veggies and rice. Everything was amazing and the flavors were authentic. Prices were a bit high but totally worth it. Can't wait to go back! read more

Alright listen there aren't a lot of Korean spots in this area and Sura being one of them does not disappoint at all. I had the beef bibimbap and it was delicious and it was a huge portion. My friend had the ribs and they were delicious, nicely seasoned, and tender. The calamari was decent just needed a bit more seasoning for me. The banchan was very tasty too. We paired it with a bottle of soju! Service was great and efficient as well. This place is definitely on the pricier side as any Korean restaurant but I will say the portions are big. Can't wait to come back. read more

Sura - Bibimbap and ribs - Korean Near Me - Oxnard, California

I have been here before a Long time ago maybe over 6 yrs ago and at the time I loved the soft tofu soup. So in craving this I decided to order the chicken , salad and bbq ribs. The ribs and soup was about $40, the salad about $12 and the chicken bowl about $25. With taxes and so on all came out to $88. The worst thing i have ever seen was the cost of this chicken bowl for $25!!!!!. This is not even worth $10. This is criminal. It's embarrassing. Im not one to make the effort to review places but I had to this is completely unacceptable. I also called the restaurant in effort to give them a chance, not to refund me or remake it, but to EXPLAIN. I would have actually been happy had they said "oh we are sorry that was a mistake" but they did not. I just want to be clear why they were given this rating and this was not done lightly. If you still eat here either dine in where they have to give you quality or check before you leave this is not ok to serve somebody this. read more

Sura - Bbq ribs - Korean Near Me - Oxnard, California

Fantastic food. Excellent service. Soups come boiling hot and all are delicious. Relaxing atmosphere and no one rushes you.

Sura is serving up some delicious Korean food in the 805! Korean restaurants and food unfortunately is still limited in Ventura county but happy that they continue to grow with a few new restaurants here and there. Sura being located at the harbor is awesome as you get lovely views and have a nice place to walk after a meal. I'll start with the pluses: The food here is absolutely amazing and super tasty! There wasn't a bite we had that we didn't like, honestly I devoured my dishes. The food is beautifully seasoned and great flavors and sauces on the mains. The menu is impressively large and I feel confident in saying the majority of their dishes are likely a win. Always happy to find a restaurant that serves up consistent and delicious food. My favorite dish of the night was their version of an orange chicken. Crispy white meat and a tasty orange sauce with a mild kick. Their beef bulgogi is also a classic. The tempura appetizer was light and well executed. Even just the sides with pickled veggies and their light broth soup as a starter was delicious. Food here A+. Your taste buds won't be disappointed. Service was also friendly and very good. Staff were all very nice and attentive. They made us feel welcome and checked up on us throughly throughout the meal. Our server told us it was his first week and he was honestly a pro - go new guy! You did great :). The other seasoned staff were equally as helpful and I'm happy to report service is also 5/5. Ambiance was very cosy and casual. I like the layout of the restaurant as it's bigger than it appears from the front but it's also spacious in the back so the tables didn't feel on top of one another. This definitely gives authentic Korean restaurant vibes with the decor and metal spoons/cups. Room for improvement: Little quirks I noticed that I wasn't super pleased about. My friend and I were very disappointed that they won't split a check. We put down two credit cards and were immediately told no splitting, even though we were making it easy and just attempting to split right down the middle using two cards. In this day and age 98% of businesses will split the check for you and want to accommodate the customer, it's really a bummer they won't do that here. So if you're coming with a group definitely bring cash. Also it seemed silly with the gorgeous harbor views they put the shades down in the back blocking the windows. I think this was requested by a customer but can't say for certain. I don't get why individual customers make a call that impacts every other customer, but again I'm assuming. Like who doesn't want to see the pretty views and feel a little sunshine? We were a little bummed about this too as we got a table close to the back door for the views and within the first 10 minutes of sitting the shades went down. Lastly critique is just that the food is pretty darn pricey. While we can say we both absolutely loved our meals and the food overall, this spot brakes the bank a little. We didn't order anything Uber fancy or pricey cuts of meat/protein yet this spot was comparable to a more higher end meal. For one appetizer and two main dishes (no alcohol) the bill was a few bucks shy of $90. That seemed pretty steep in my opinion as the food was casual Korean food with humble vibes and appearance. We both agreed that while this spot is definitely tasty, at this price point we couldn't see ourselves coming back soon as it's just a little too much for me knowing the food was good but not like an upper scale 5 star restaurant. I'm happy Sura is bringing tasty Korean food to the 805. If you're in the area and okay for a bit of a splurge, this place will definitely be tasty and present with friendly staff. read more

This is the best Korean restaurant in Ventura County! My husband and I love the authenticity of the dishes, and that the banchan are refillable. I typically order iced green tea, which is refreshing. Their hot stone bibimbap is delicious as is their tofu soup, which you can customize according to your desired level of spiciness. My daughter loves the fish cakes, and we are trying our best to try to replicate the recipe at home but it never comes out nearly as good as it does at Sura! read more

My go to for Korean food in Oxnard. Solid, simple place with good service and decent banchan

Friendly staff, clean and cozy restaurant, interesting menu, everything is fresh and super tasty!! I'm really picky about meat and their japchae has extra tender and tasty beef (vegetarian and combo available as well). Seasoning is perfect! Hubby gets the bulgogi dinner (also very lean and tasty) and it comes with all the yummy sides (kimchi, sprouts, potatoes, and more). He says the tempura is the best he's ever had. (He lived in Little Tokyo and has eaten his share lol!). Fully recommend SURA. It's the kind of place you'll crave and order extra to have leftovers. read more

WOW! Sura was the best home style korean food i've had in a while. To start, we were easily seated and the indoor decor nice. The utensils were individually wrapped. Despite not having Cass on the menu, they luckily were able to bring us out a bottle of our beer. My boyfriend and I each ordered kimchi jjigae and an order of black bean noodles with pork. The black bean noodles were savory and delicious. There was plenty of onion and zucchini which is my favorite. Also I was very impressed with the kimchi jjigae, as it was spicy, well seasoned and they did not skimp on any vegetables/meat or tofu. As of the banchan, the radish was my favorite followed closely by the homemade kimchi. (don't know for sure if it was homemade but you can just tell!) Lastly, our server was kind. I was honestly wary because of previous reviews mentioning small serving size + high prices however we had generous portions and the price was typical coming from LA county. I'd definitely come back. read more

Sometimes I just long for a good, authentic Korean meal having lived in Seoul for five years (1984-6 and 2000-3). Sura fulfilled that need and more. With a good range of options, our main dishes were superb and exactly as they'd tasted in Korea. We started with the Kimchi Pancake (Kimchijeon) which was crispy the way we like it (some places rush it out and it's not cook nor crispy -- not Sura). My Soontobu Jigei (tofu soup) offered 0 to 4 spice levels and I chose mild (1) and it was flavorful with just the right amount of heat unlike some places that serve it molten spicy hot with an oil red pepper layer on top. Not Sura -- hats off. My wife's Dolsot Bibimbap (stone-heated mixed rice) had a balanced mix of vegetables, yummy meat, and freshly cooked rice. She was happy and insisted on boxing leftovers. The banchon (side dishes) were extremely fresh and packed with taste -- the best I've had in the U.S. in five years and 40+ Korean restaurants sampled.  Beer and soju also hit the spot.  Service was prompt and very friendly. And the place was spotless (including the bathrooms). Guests were a mix of Koreans (the test of authenticity, and they left happy) and non-Koreans, and there was no waiting.  Reasonably priced especially given the quality of food and service.  My wife had to persuade me not to urge her to open a restaurant in NM. Pity as we could really, really, really use a great Korean  restaurant like this. If we're ever within 50 miles again, we're going back to Sura. read more

So happy to get authentic Korean food without having to drive all the way to KTown! The tofu soups were excellent. You can add meat or seafood and pick your spice level! The meals come with the usual Korean sides like kimchee, potatoes, tofu and jicama all perfectly prepared. Our server was attentive and refilled our sides and drinks. They have a full menu of Korean favorites including hot stone pots and Bulgogi. We topped it off with the mochi drizzled in chocolate sauce and whipped cream. Conveniently located in Seabridge.
