I enjoyed everything that was put in front of me. the Korean barbecue with hot fresh and delicious,. I can't even say what was my favorite because I liked so much of it. There were side dishes I never heard of and the stone bowl rice was delightful. I would recommend this for birthday party or a night out with friends or just dinner for my husband &I. Don't be afraid to try something new. read more

Amazing. Food is delicious and the service outstanding. I've tried many traditional Korean places and the food here has outstanding flavors. read more

We will def. be going back. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, as was the manager. She asked our names and referred to us frequently. My hubby cannot eat raw,so he usually orders dragon rolls. He said this was one of the best he has ever had. Complimentary edemame started our meal. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5, only because I wish there were more cooked rolls. But I certainly found enough to fill my tummy. read more

We chose Surah for our New Years Eve dinner yesterday because it was close to the movie we were going to see. It was the worst dining experience we have ever had. The food was average but that was not the problem. We were a party of 6 and arrived at 6 pm. Our dinners came out in 3 stages. Two of our friends were served first. 15 minutes later my husband and I received our food and then 10 minutes later my daughter was finally served hers. Imagine everyone but your child having their dinner!! What was so disconcerting was that the restaurant was not full, and no one including our server, said a word while this was all going on. Not one word was said to us. We had to call the owner over as we left. He offered us nothing for the awful service. For a local restaurant they surely could not care about their local customers. read more

I really wanted to like this place as the greater philadelphia area in general is STARVING for a decent AYCE KBBQ joint. But everything here is mediocre. Service is wildly lacking, taking forever and sometimes getting what you ask for wrong in which you'll wait for another long moment for them to try and get it right. However the place is clean and they do a decent job filtering out the smoke so you don't leave smelling like an ashtray. Waitstaff also seem to prefer to seat and attend to Koreans first before others, so when coming here please be sure to entice your token native Korean speaker along to hopefully expedite service. Otherwise charge your phone up and have games at the ready, because you're in for a wait from beginning (to be seated on busy nights), to the middle (placing your first order and waiting for side dishes to arrive) and to the bitter end (settling the check). DO NOT MAKE ANY OTHER PLANS AFTERWARDS IF YOU PLAN ON COMING HERE read more

I love this place. The all you can eat is AWESOME. Please support this place. I think because it is at the side of Giant no one noticed it.

I went here a couple times and it really wasn't that great. The restaurant itself was clean and nicely set up. The waiters were nice, hard working college students I believe. The food wasn't that great, every time I come here I get so constipated, I guess it depends on how much MSG they put in their food. SMH. The manager or the owner whatever he is just wonders around doing, I don't even know what. Wish he would've been more tentative to the customers. Also, I heard him complain to one of the waiters, I thought that was very inappropriate. Anyways, the BBQ option was nice I guess. If I had to rate this restaurant 1-10 I would definitely give it a 3star rating. read more

First time I tried Korean BBQ after being told it was amazing... it did not disappoint! You can go and choose from different All You Can Eat specials... we chose 20$ per person for multile dishes & side dishes that were delicious. The waiter we had was amazing; he knew it was our first time and walked us through everything and was super attentive. Definitely will be coming back! Only issue is that we though it was BYOB but they don't do that anymore; but still so great! read more

the lady that was working there charged us for drink we didn't even get and was not willing to change the receipt. The food here is not even worth dealing with their service read more

I have visited this place quite often and well the food is alright but whats with the service? the younger waiters are good but the old lady she gives the worst attitude every time i go there and just ruins my entire day. im pretty sure shes not the owner but she sure acts like one and does not handle any services properly. Well I will never go there ever again. I would never recommend this place to anyone. there are plenty of other places with better food and BETTER SERVICE. read more

They gave us the food we didn't order and we didn't really mind the wrong order but the waitress Carol gave us the rudest attitude and argued there was no problem with the order. I've never been to a place where a waitress was so threatening. I would not suggest anyone to go to this place with family or friends. read more

This is about my 15th time at Surah, and I was saddened by the change from the first time I went for my Birthday in November 2012 to two years later. The service was very slow, and due to their addition of the all you can eat bbq, the wait staff seemed stretched, and not able to keep up with the table in the back, not eating the bbq, I was hoping for the same Birthday experience of two years ago, but was saddened when it took about thirty minutes to just get tea refills, and a glass of water. Then every attempt to order, was made difficult as we had to literally get up and track down a waiter after another thirty minutes to place our food orders. Also, was not impressed with the banchan selection or my dolsot bibimbap, that I waited about a good hour for for. I feel like Surah had alot of potential when they first opened, but it seems by adding the all you can eat, has made the food quality go down, and also the service is very stretched, they need more waiters on a busy Saturday night. Due to there is not to many good Korean places in the area, I feel that there is alot of market potential to step up their game, and focus on making really good quality, good food, rather then stretching themselves too thin, and leading to spotty service, and sub par Korean food. Please get better Surah, miss your quality from your first year of business!! read more

This place is amazing!!!! The manager is great she always makes sure you are being taken care of properly... Both the Japanese and Korean food served there is delicious would highly recommended. It is also a BYOB and has great atmosphere read more

If you want all you can eat Korea bbq at a reasonable price in a convenient location (shopping mall), this is a good place, but don't expect prompt and friendly service. Because they don't cook the meat for you at the table, probably a good idea to know how to cook meat. The side dishes were minimal and the soup was okay, but you should be here to eat meat without expectations on the side dishes or the soup. Please note that your clothes will smell of cooked meat after your meal - so you may want to avoid wearing an outfit that requires dry cleaning. read more

We were visiting family in PA and found this place via yelp. We decided to give it a try and we had a party of 11. We called ahead and the owner was very nice in accommodating us. When we got there we waited a couple minutes for our table to get cleaned and ready. Upon sitting, the manager came and offered us a free seafood pancake for having us wait. We were quite pleased by his gesture. We ordered 2 kalbi beef short ribs, 1 order of bulgogi and the thick cut pork for the table barbecue. We also ordered 2 bulgogi bimbimbaps, spicy squid, 5 assorted sushi rolls, and a soup (the soup name slips my mind). All were very good. If you are not up for very spicy just ask for not spicy as we did and the food came out flavorful and great! Everything was done really well and the bonchon was quite satisfying! The servers were friendly and patient with our large group of mixed experienced Korean food eaters. The waiters also assisted us with cooking the meat and even served each one of us. The owner also gave us two complimentary spicy rice cake dishes that were not on the menu. Even though the bonchon and rice were unlimited we did not have to order anything extra as the food was plentiful. It was quite delicious and we enjoyed everything we ordered. The whole 11 person party was stuffed and the bill only came out to $184. We decided to leave a 20% tip because of the excellent food, service, and freebies. We would definitely come back again and wish this restaurant was closer to home then in PA. If you are looking for great authentic Korean food in a great atmosphere this is the place to go!!! read more

I wasn't expecting much from this restaurant, but I have to say that this is the best Korean restaurant that I've had in the area! Even though the inside of the restaurant looks extremely trendy like an Asian fusion place, the prices are unpretentious and the food is really good! First off, the kalbi is of an extremely high quality - the meat is delicate and flavorful and I just ate the pieces right off the grill! Even though sauces and lettuce (for wrapping) are provided, the meat tastes too good on its own for me to want to mask its flavor! I'm still dreaming of this kalbi, especially now that I'm no longer on the East Coast! The bibimbap with spicy pork was VERY spicy, which is great, but it was already pre-mixed with sauce and a LOT of it - I think a little more restraint would have made this dish perfect; after all, the highlight of bibimbap for me personally are the vegetables! A rock shrimp tempura appetizer was amazing! Sweet and crunchy, these huge pieces of shrimp are addictive! Banchan were good, soondubu was good, the seafood pancake (given to us by the owner) was good, and the sushi tasted fresh! I was extremely impressed by this restaurant and I know now that whenever I come to visit my family in Pennsylvania, this will be my go-to restaurant request when we dine out! read more

My husband and I came for lunch to eat the beef buffet. The meat was great - fresh and well marinated. And we ate so much - such a great deal. If you are in the mood for Korean BBQ, this is the best in the suburbs. read more

Just to clarify, this is a Korean restaurant with sushi offerings just like many other Korean restaurants in the states. Portion was very good, yet at steeper prices. Fish was pretty fresh, and their Korean dish was all decent although their Kimchi was horrible. Will try their bbq in the next visit. I'd left 3.5 stars if there was. read more

My husband had been wanting to try Korean BBQ for quite some time and after doing some research I came across Surah. I decided that this would be the perfect place to take him for his birthday and we have to say that we both enjoyed it! Although it was only the two of us, we decided to try a little bit of everything. We ordered the wings, which were delicious, sushi and the Korean BBQ which consisted of short ribs, pork belly and tons of veggies. The owner was extremely now and even offer us a complimentary glass of Korean wine. We will definitely be back soon! read more

Absolutely amazing food! Love the galbi and bulgolgi beef. and the staff are the nicest people!!

Great AYCE Korean BBQ. The owner is awesome and caters to your needs. Meats are well marinaded and service is great!

Went here for the first time last night. Wondering how this place gets 4 stars. Service was poor and food wasn't that great. Was seated with another family at the same time and their food came very quickly. We waited for 30 minutes before they brought anything out which we ordered stating "there was a problem with the table before you". What does that have to do with anything? We asked for rice several times- never came. Once they brought out our choices at the overpriced option A they never came back to ask if we wanted anything else (apparently "all you can eat"). Never even noticed we were there. Maybe because we were the only non white or Korean people there? Didn't feel our business was of enough value? Paid $172 for the worst. Plenty of better, friendlier, more organized Korean BBQ close by with better options. Don't recommend this place. Only gave it it 1 star because there isn't an option for zero. read more

The quality of food was average and the service was absolutely awful. Four of us arrived at 6:30 and the restaurant was about 1/3 full. We had wine and beer that needed to be opened and chilled. After 3 requests and 15 minutes later they finally took care of that. We were ready to order by then but no server was to be found. After being there 1/2 hour our order was finally taken. Two salads, one appetizer, tempura shrimp, stew and two sushi dishes were ordered. About 20 minutes later they brought out some assorted appetizers for which there was no charge. About 25 minutes later they bring the sushi but no salads or appetizer, We asked him to forget the salads and just bring the appetizer, stew and tempura. After15 minutes the stew and tempura came but no appetizer. By then the couple we were with had just about finished their sushi and the waiter brings their salads. After being there for two hours, we get our check, have the money to be taken and the waiter comes to the table with some meat dish he wants to eat to make up for the bad service. He said we should come during the week when the service is usually better. I can't see this restaurant staying around long. They have no clue what good service is all about. read more

A+ for Surah in Spring House. Fresh, delicious sushi and sashimi and, anything that you want, Benny will create for you. The Korean meals seem to be moving nicely. However, my husband and I always choose the sushi bar and the attentive service. A hidden gem, next to the Giant in the shopping center. You will not lose if you visit this restaurant with the beautiful decor and, more importantly, the delicious Japanese dishes. We need to spread the word about this Japanese experience. We are there almost every week. read more

Amazing..... the owner called me and completely apologized. What great customer service! I cannot wait to go back and eat mood wonderful food. There sushi as well as the BBQ is delicious. Highly recommend. read more

We had the Korean bar-b-q. Although we only ordered 2 entrees, because of all the special, we wound up with 4. Everything was wonderful. I would've liked more chicken & seafood choices, though. But we'll def. be going back. read more

only good thing about the place is BYOB. service is nice but food..... i had better. sashimi was just not cutting it. some of them are slice thin some of them, i need steak knife to eat it. new owner, new chef maybe need little more time. read more

This restaurant is incredible! The food is fresh, tasty and authentic as it gets. The service is next level. Pleasant, attentive, and very detailed on food descriptions and preparation details. I have been here 3 times and it has been consistent on all factors. This an A+ establishment. read more

Great food. Authentic Korean taste. Very friendly and great service! We had the pajean, galbi, bulgogi and kimchi chigae.

I've eat in, and taken out, and the food and service have always been very good. I definitely recommend it.

Got the korean bbq. The price is very low compared to the surrounding places. For the price you pay, you get a lot of food. There are tons of options too! Service was a little slow, even on a slow day. read more

I came here last night with a couple friends. It was probably my 3rd or 4th time this year eating there. The service started out pretty good. The food was pretty good as well. The reason for the 1-star was at the end of dinner. We paid the bill and we had crossed out the tip line because we had left the waitress the tip in cash on the table (20%). She thought that we weren't going to leave a tip and got irate and with the most terrible attitude she said "Excuse me, you guys aren't even going to leave a tip?" I was pretty disgusted when she said that. I doubt I'll ever be coming here again. read more

I've been looking for a nice Korean place around but the closest ones near me wasn't the good traditional food I've been looking for. My friend introduced me to this place and their food was AMAZING as well as their prices. Even their sushi is so fresh and their rolls are delicious! This restaurant is also a nice place to drink with your friends without the place being too loud. I would definitely recommend this place to others. Give it a try! read more

I always look forward to eating here. The staff is very nice and eager to make you happy and welcome. We love the BBQ grills built into the tables, it's so fun to cook at your own table. read more

So... where to begin. I came to this joint when it first initially opened as a korean japanese restaraunt couple years ago and had the korean bqq... they're sushi was pretty good but the portion of their bqq meat was very stingy for what they were charging... 2 rolls of the kalbi (cow ribs, thinly sliced) for $50+ dollars. Im korean and Ive been to all the phila + suburb korean restaraunts in the area but this place was totally a RIP OFF compared to others. This place recently started the all you can eat korean bbq for like $28 bucks per person... DON'T BE FOOLED! This is the only bqq buffet where the server brings you the meat! There are few more korean bbq buffet places within the area and they all have meat stations with 6-8 variety of meats, seafood, side dishes and the customer fills his own plate of meats to cook. At Surah... the waiter takes order of the meat you want to cook and they control the amount or potions of the meat you can eat at a time. You wont believe the stingy portions they bring you and the amount of time you have to actually have to wait until you get your next portion when you order again. This place is not a korean bbq buffet... goto "KOBA" KOREAN BQQ BUFFET INSTEAD!!! OR GO TO A REGULAR KOREAN BBQ RESTARAUNT IN THE AREA AND PAY THE SAME PRICE...AND GET BETTER SERVICE, MORE FOOD AND PAY THE SAME AMOUNT OF MONEY. If you still want to check this place out... go ahead and you'll find out what im talking about. I warned you. read more

Went last night (Friday night), and while the food was good, the service was terrible. We have dined there before, and the service was fine. We arrived five minutes early for our appointed reservation time, and were met with quizzical looks. I'm not sure they were aware of the reservation. We were finally seated at our BBQ table, which did have a "reserved" sign. We ordered sushi/rolls for appetizers, which were very good. Two of them were brought out together, but the third person at our table had to wait at least 5 more minutes for hers. BBQ was good; one of our dishes was marinated beef ribs, and the sides were good. After our server finished with the BBQ, he basically disappeared and never came back to see if we needed anything. We were finished with our meal for about a half hour, and finally had to ask someone clearing tables to let our server know we would like our check. Highly disappointed this time. Oh, and for some odd reason, they had the same song (a woman singing) playing over and over and over and over the entire time we were there. We had time to discuss that as we were waiting for someone to come and bring the check. read more
