Boston food | Korean buffet barbecue with great value for money

🥩 Sura BBQ Boston: Medford’s All-You-Can-Eat Korean BBQ—Meat Lovers, Rejoice After a letdown at Naksan, I was determined to find Boston’s real standout Korean BBQ—and this spot delivered. All-you-can-eat (AYCE) glory, quality cuts, and zero regrets? Sign me up. 🍖 The AYCE Breakdown: Choose Wisely Skip the basic (package) and splurge on the Sura Premium tier—it’s worth every penny. Here’s why: Premium Meats: Short rib and LA beef short rib are stars. Tender, marinated to perfection, and packed with that signature sweet-savory flavor. I’m still kicking myself for not ordering seconds. Pork Belly: Crispy when grilled long enough, wrapped in lettuce with garlic and ssamjang? Chef’s kiss. Pure comfort. Save your stomach—skip the Supreme tier. The extra dishes are just carbs (tteokbokki, kimchi pancake) that fill you up fast. We’re here for meat, not sides. The "Meh" Cuts: Cheaper options like bulgogi or marinated pork taste like frozen HMart finds—stick to the premium stuff. 🌿 The Extras Banchan (side dishes) are standard—kimchi, pickles, etc.—nothing mind-blowing, but unlimited refills mean you’ll never run out of palate cleansers. 📍 Vibe & Tips Atmosphere: Bright, spacious, and clean—though the music is loud. Great for groups, less so for quiet chats. Timing: Go on weekdays (we went Monday) to skip lines. Weekends get chaotic. Strategy: Pace yourself! Focus on premium meats to get your money’s worth ($38 for Premium is a steal if you eat like a carnivore). Sura BBQ isn’t fancy, but it nails the AYCE dream: quality meat, no filler, and a price that lets you feast guilt-free. If you love Korean BBQ, this is Boston’s move. #BostonKoreanBBQ #AllYouCanEat #MeatHeaven #MedfordEats
