We ordered the bulgogi for 33.95. Food was ok but should taste better for the price and portions are small. I would not recommend this place. read more

Sura - Bulgogi - Korean Near Me - Oxnard, California

One of my favorite places the go to when I'm in Oxnard. I start with their chicken wings are crunchy and tastes sweet and sour. I also get the kimchi and pork soup and bulgogi. Both come with black rice which actually looks purple. Because the flavors all compliment each other so well, I just mix all of it with the Banchan and eat it that way. I love their kimchi. It's not as tangy as other kimchi I've had. I believe kimchi gets more tangy the longer it is fermented (which I also love!) The dinner sized bulgogi isn't too sweet on the marinade. My only gripe with it is that the meat seems like it's close to being ground up. I wish the pieces were a little bigger. I comes out to about $75 for my husband and I every time we go. The restaurant is at a nice location with ample parking and bathrooms are clean. Definitely give it a try! read more

Ordered the bbq ribs + soft tofu soup (lunch combo) for take out and it was so good! In my opinion, I feel like there was a good portion of each item especially for it being lunch. I wasn't left hungry afterwards or heavily full, just satisfied. :) read more

Updating my review after five years of being a patron. Quality of food is still okay, but the once appealing taste of their dishes is now nothing more than ordinary. The place is now starting to show it's age. The once vibrant place that proudly shows it's Asian heritage is nothing more than just a normal eatery. Except for few decorations here and there, there was no effort to improve or at least maintain the decorations. The quality of service realy declined. The friendliness and hospitality that asians are known for are just a distant memory. I ordered three meals online for three people today, and when I picked it up, I asked if I can get extra cup of fish cake since three people will be sharing the single tiny cup. The lady rudely told me that one is all I can get and if I need one, I have to pay extra. Heck, if I and my friends ordered seperately, each one of us would have gotten one each easily but this lady is more focused on making small profit, not even thinking that the tip I gave them when I ordered is way more than enough to pay for 20 of those tiny dish. I was really tempted to say that and take back my tip, but for the sake of decency, I did not. it looks like the friendliness that they used to show to attract customers has been replaced by greed to make profit, no matter how small it is. Will I recommend this place? Probably not anymore. If a loyal patron for five years like me has seen this decline, then I will not take the risk of getting embarrassed by recommending them. Find another Korean restaurant somewhere else. This place is not the same place it used to be. You can keep your profit, but you just lost one loyal customer. read more

Their soups are amazing. We always go for lunch or dinner specials and leave so full and satiated. They're all so sweet here it feels like you're dining with family read more

The food is so good and authentic definitely recommend the japchae. However the service was not good out waitress gave me attitude and slammed my plate after I sent it back because I did not like it I felt bad but still she could've been a lot nicer but would definitely go back read more

1st time eating here. The place is small but cute. Server was friendly and polite, restaurant was clean, also the restrooms. My fish was cooked well, crunchy the way I like it, just needs soy sauce. The tofu soup was good. The banchan was not that great because not a lot of selection. Other than that it's pretty good I recommend it giving it four star and will come back and eat here again sometime. And if you've not tried it I say go for it you won't need disappointed I hope. read more

This is our traditional spot to stop by from driving from la/oc back to home up north. We've been going here for years!!! Maybe 10! The best mondu/dumpling soup! I usually get the combo with mackerel or their kalbi or grilled chicken is yummy! Only take out during covid? No problem! We bring our own table and chairs and set up outside on the common patio area read more

If you've had any LA Koreatown KBBQ you may not be super happy with Sura. We got a bulgogi dinner combo and while the meat was flavorful, it came with bones and had a lot of tough parts (not the greatest quality). The banchan flavors felt a bit bland and strange and the tofu soup was very watery and was a let down. Sura is good for not being in a LA but its hard to recommend for any KBBQ lovers. read more

Stumbled upon this pretty good Korean restaurant in Oxnard located in Seabridge market. Open during the pandemic they also had indoor seating available. However we decided to order takeout. We tried the kalbi which is pretty tender and flavorful but the portions are very few. It was about four cuts of kalbi and not the full strips. It came with purple rice and a fried croquet. I wasn't fond of the croquet as it had teriyaki sauce on it which I wish they didn't have any sauce on it at all. We also tried the tempura which is pretty good but again the tempura dipping sauce was too sweet. Most tempura sauces are not that sweet. The daikon soup was excellent. The side dishes were pretty good. Overall I would probably go back if I'm in the area. read more

One of my favorite lunch specials!! So many delicious options at a beautiful location. Spicy Soups, Tender BBQ and all the delicious heathy Korean sides anyone could ask for. Another classic spot I have yet to have a bad experience at.. my only complaint is that dinner menu always seemed a bit intimidating do to the prices and portion size so I have yet to try it. Immure it's great and likely worth the money but unless I was going to bring my family or a large group doesn't seem realistic to dine alone for dinner. read more

I am disappointed in myself for coming to this restaurant for years and not leaving a review. I started coming here in 2016 and I have always had a great experience here with the flavors and ambiance. I enjoy the quality meats with the sides served, such as pickled bean sprouts and daikon radishes. The stone bowl soups are spicy and savory. This last visit I had brought my girlfriend with me, she is from the bay area and is a tough critic, but Sura has managed to win her over with the black bean noodles. I will definitely be bringing her back for more delicious food. read more

Food is always authentic and delicious. Family run and service is quick. I love that you can sit out back and how quaint it is. Always clean and competitively priced and good portions. I always have leftovers. read more

First timer here. We're always seeing this place whenever going to Vons. My coworker also recommended this place. Since moving here from Vegas and out of my korean mothers home I'm always craving for some good korean food. Upon walking in, the ambience is nice. They have classical music playing. Overall very clean restaurant. Sat down and was given our menu. In my opinion this place is just a bit too pricey for a Korean Restaurant. We ordered Japchae, Spicy Pork and Yukgaejang. The japchae was literally made with bulgogi sauce not your typical traditional japchae. Was disappointed in that. Next my bf ordered the spicy pork and came with a side of korean radish soup. The Spicy pork was okay. For some reason it didn't taste like pork. It gave me more of a chicken vibe with the texture. I'm a huge pork fanatic. But I could be totally wrong. I really enjoyed the yukgaejang though. That was good! I wish it was just a little bit spicer though. For a korean restaurant and probably the only korean restaurant here in oxnard it was so so. The total of our bill was: $63 (not including tip) for the three dishes. Customer service: 10/10 Cleanliness: 10/10 Food: 7/10 Overall experience: 3/5 for me but a 4/5 for my bf read more

The food is not what it used to be. Over priced. more vegetables than seafood. the waiter have to be ask to bring side dish but have no problem bringing the bill before even asking if we were finished or wanted dessert. Definitely lost my business. read more

Ok - let me talk about this place. First off, we live an hour from Koreatown but we learned about Sura from a friend. We were nervous about trying a place 30 min from our home but thought to give it a shot. Service: 10/10. Judy took our order, was prompt, attentive and ensured our food came out FAST. She's warm and incredible with customers. Food: The kimchi pancake was crispy and packed with flavor. I can tell they used ripe kimchi which made everything 10x better. The Galbi (beef short rib) was juicy, tender, and the marinade tasted like galbi you'd get in koreatown (just without the stress of driving in traffic) Ok - the TOFU SOUP. We loved the broth. It had a deep and toasty flavor to it. We crave Korean food often and I'd say this is the best in Ventura county! read more

Thank you to Judy for the fantastic service!! I take a trip to the Oxnard/Ventura area at least once a month to visit some friends and this is one of the few Asian restaurants out here that I was very pleased with! [INSIDE] Smaller restaurant than other Korean places I've been to, it's more of a narrow restaurant better for smaller groups than large ones. [FOOD] - Takoyaki: Crispy outside, steamy, delicious filling, the right amount of mayo on top without it being too saucy. - Chicken wings: not huge pieces like Korean fried chicken, but they're the perfect size wings for an appetizer too. The wings come covered in a glazed and topped with sesame seeds, so flavorful! - Soon tofu: I love a good tofu soup! It comes with banchan and purple rice (mix of black and white rice). It was the perfect amount of spice for me and tofu to meat ratio was perfect too. Definitely recommend the soon tofu [SERVICE] We were greeted and seated immediately when we stepped into the restuarant, thanks to our server Judy! We told her it was our first time here and she went above and beyond as our server. read more

Good restaurant for a location not known for having a lot of Asians. Feedback on making it a better experience: Less/no sugar especially in meats. Too much sugar detracts the flavor. More side dishes for patrons who want them and less/no side dishes for those who don't want them so there's minimal waste. Otherwise, keep up the quality! read more

Ordered the black bean noodles to go and it was delicious. Dish was smothered with plenty of black bean sauce and an extra to go with the sides (fish cake, potatoes, steamed bean sprouts, daikon and carrots and kimchi). Although it is a on the pricier side but it can be shared between 2 people. read more

Great service and great food. Their traditional Korean dishes are really good. This place is much better than Korean Gen. Highly recommended. read more

How on earth are people ordering take out? This business does NOT answer their phone! Like, EVER! Whenever I call to place a to-go order, I get a "this number is too busy to answer the phone" recording, I kid you not. Very sad. I was a fan of theirs since they opened years ago. But this recent trend of not answering the phone, and doubling - yes DOUBLING - their prices while HALVING THEIR PORTION SIZES has lost them my business. Bye, Sura. I'll find another Korean BBQ place that wants my $. read more

Husband and I + baby went for an early dinner, which was worth it because the place was filling up as we were leaving. We got jajangmyeon, kimchi pancake, tofu soup, and a chicken dish. Food was excellent and service was on point! I lived in Korea years ago and hadn't had the food since, so it was a real treat to experience such nostalgia. My only complaint is that there is no kimchi fried rice! We can't wait to go back and try the bibimbap and tteokbokki. read more

This is the best Korean food currently available in Ventura County. It is a little pricey but everything is these days, so don't be discouraged to try it. And depending where you live, it's not around the corner, but definitely worth a visit. My family and I tend to order the same items each time: bulgogi, kalbi, bibimpap, mandu or sundubu soup, but the quality and flavors are consistent. The banchan is good and there is variety, although at lunch there are no seconds on banchan so it may be better to order dinner service for a few more dollars and have access to more. The kimbap is really well done. The only thing negative is one of the staff tries to clear my plate before I'm finished eating, like every time we go. When I eat out I like to enjoy my meal and finish my food if I desire. Not feel rushed like if I don't eat fast enough that my plate will be removed. So for this reason sometimes the experience is better ordered to go vs dine in. read more

The food is pretty good, but it's quite pricey. The service is great. Definitely an odd choice in music.

Besides amazing tasting food, the service was exceptional! They were on top of my empty cup. (I drank 3.) This place is 10/10

We've been coming here for years and it's always good but the prices have literally doubled in the last year or so. And the service has gone down. I'm sorry to say but I don't think they will stay in business unless they reduce their prices back to where they used to be. $84 for dinner for two in Oxnard is unreasonable! I wish them the best but we won't be back until the prices are more reasonable. read more

I love SURA. When I lived in LA, I would venture to K-Town for some authentic Korean food. When we moved to Ventura, I searched for the same kind of experience. Sura has it all. My go to is Bi bim bob with veggies and tofu. The ban chan is perfect. Sapporo on draft and yummy bulgogi to satisfy the husband and boys. Service is hospitable, however you may need to know a little about Korean food otherwise it's assumed you know what you're doing. Don't let this deter you from going, be brave and give your tastebuds a chance! read more

My family and I love coming to this place. I have small kids that can be picky with their food, but they will eat everything on their plate when we come here.

Really satisfied, although the side dishes were just ok, came with spicy kimchi, bean sprout salad, and 2 other sides I'm not sure what they were. We both ordered to bulgogi combo dinners, which included choice of tofu or dumpling soup and purple rice. We also ordered the stir fry vegetables. We left full and sleepy. Had enough leftovers to bring home. Each combo was about $32 each, and the stir fry I think was around $20. I had a glass of wine, hubby ordered a beer. Our bill was $110-ish before tip. read more

Passing through Oxnard, we wanted to look for a restaurant with excellent Yelp reviews. We found this restaurant and was so glad we did. They serve excellent Korean food. Dinner comes with salad and cup of soup with Daikon. Both were quite good for its simplicity. We ordered beef Bibimbop, beef soft tofu soup, spicy pork, and spicy pork belly with calamari. The servings were just right and the flavor was rich and one of the best Korean food we've had. The service was excellent and there's even a water view in the back of the restaurant. The next time we pass by this city, we'll definitely come back. read more

This restaurant is on par with most good LA Korean restaurants. It's a little more highly priced, but it's a surprise to get such top-notch Korean food in Oxnard, so it's worth it. The soontofu and mandukook were excellent, and the dolsot bibimbap, bulgogi, and galbi were very good. The banchan, while not extensive, was great. read more

As a half Korean, when I go to Korean restaurants I order specific things to gage whether or not the whole menu is good. I ordered the Jjampong (spicy seafood soup) and when I tell you it was amazing, that would be underselling it. The soup was very flavorful and just overall fantastic. You can tell someone's grandparent or parent is cooking everything. I will absolutely coming back! 10/10 definitely recommend! read more

Love their lunch. Much more affordable than dinner. Dinner bigger portions. Delicious Great service, too.

We recently moved to Ventura and we're excited to try out this Korean restaurant. Honestly we didn't have a good experience here. The prices are unreasonable and the panchan were being charged extra because we wanted to share a combo. Also seemed like the waiter was short tempered at my family when we wanted to double check our order because my parents are Korean and there was a language barrier which I'm not going to apologize for. Also I found it extremely rude for the waiter to say "I dont do that" when my dad was trying to order the tofu soup in with the Korean name instead of saying "tofu soup". There's a nice way to speak to customers like "I'm sorry I Dont speak Korean" instead of being rude. Overall if you're a Korean and it's not your first time at a Korean restaurant I would skip this spot. Super disappointed read more

I think I owe this restaurant an apology. I only gave them 4 stars when I first reviewed them, but quite honestly, I should have awarded all 5 stars. They do such a great job of preparing Korean food. It's always delicious, well-prepared, and I wished we lived a bit closer to go there more often. Shouldn't the first clue to greatness (pre-Covid times) have been that it was always packed, and packed with 95% Asians each time. That's the highest compliment because it speaks to the authenticity and quality of the food being prepared. I love everything I get, and when I tell you we get a lot, trust me on this. We like so many dishes that we order a bunch of stuff, bring about half of it home because we way over-ordered (PURPOSELY), but our other line of reasoning is so we could have a complete second meal for dinner the next night. That's the way to stretch it out and have something to look forward to. Unfortunately, because of the pandemic, we haven't been there (or anywhere), but I'm craving this place, so maybe we'll justify traveling for takeout. This place is soooooooo delicious !!! read more
