Victoria's Best Korean BBQ Spot 𼊠| Sura Korean Restaurant Review
If you're craving authentic Korean barbecue in Victoria, look no further than Sura Korean Restaurant on Douglas Street. After months of longing for proper Korean grilled meats, our group of three (two guys and one girl) finally made the pilgrimage â and it did not disappoint. đĽ The Ultimate BBQ Experience We ordered the Combo for 2 (which was more than enough for three people!) plus several Ă la carte dishes: âď¸ Extra Beef Plate â Because you can never have too much meat âď¸ Seafood Pancake (Haemul Pajeon) â Crispy edges with tender seafood bits âď¸ Spicy Rice Cakes (Ddeokbokki) â Marked "3-star spicy" but manageable for mild heat tolerance âď¸ Black Bean Noodles (Jajangmyeon) â As a self-proclaimed Korean noodle addict, I approved ⨠Why Sura Stands Out âď¸ Meat Quality: The BBQ meats were perfectly marinated and grilled to smoky perfection âď¸ Banchan (Side Dishes): At least 8 different varieties that kept getting refilled (the kimchi was especially good!) âď¸ Portion Sizes: Very generous â we couldn't finish everything despite our best efforts âď¸ Value: $150 total (including tip) for three people with leftovers đ˝ď¸ Dish Breakdown 1. Korean BBQ Combo Galbi (Short Ribs): Buttery and rich Bulgogi (Marinated Beef): Sweet-savory perfection Pork Belly: Crispy-edged goodness 2. Seafood Pancake Crispy yet fluffy with generous squid and shrimp pieces â dip it in the soy-vinegar sauce for maximum flavor. 3. Spicy Rice Cakes The "3-star" spice level had just enough kick to be exciting without being painful. The rice cakes were chewy in the best way. 4. Black Bean Noodles While not the absolute best I've had (I'm picky!), they were solid comfort food with rich, savory sauce. đ Practical Details đ Address: 1696 Douglas St, Victoria, BC đľ Price: $$ (Reasonable for quality) â° Tip: Dinner gets busy â consider early or late seating Final Rating: 4/5 Stars âď¸âď¸âď¸âď¸ Pros: Great meat quality, authentic flavors, excellent banchan Cons: Could use more ventilation (gets smoky!), noodles slightly underwhelming #VictoriaEats #KoreanBBQ #FoodieAdventure #ComfortFood #CanadianDining
