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.

Food was good, I’ve eaten here before and will go back to try more. Pork had good spice and wasn’t overpowering, bit on the sweeter side but was still good. Free refills on sides too which is a great plus.

This place has me kind of befuddled. Let me start out by saying, as someone who loves Korean food this is easily the best Korean food in Ventura county, probably some of the best you’ll get outside of Los Angeles. The Galbi is tender well seasoned and on point, side dishes are fresh, authentic and they serve what might be some of the best kimchi you’ll try outside of Korea. Now for what has me scratching my head….what you see in this picture is a dinner entree with side dishes a small side of soup, rice and a side of gochujang. For all of this including tax but no tip was almost 49 dollars! 49 dollars for a decent but not large portion of excellent food, just enough for one person. This same amount of food from a similarly top rated Korean restaurant in Los Angeles, San Diego Bay area etc would not be more than about 35 to 38 dollars. I know that its outside of a major market/city and with inflation and everything, but geez almost 50 bucks for 1 plate of Kalbi togo….Its hard to understand how management can justify those prices. That being said, the price won’t keep me from returning, i just find it hard to understand why the prices are so high. I guess you pay a premium for premium Korean food in this part of the state.

My wife and I came here on a Saturday night for date night and were really impressed with the food. I will start out by saying it was a touch more expensive than I realized, but we also haven’t been out to dinner in a while because we have kids.
The service was amazing. We were seated quickly, and our waitress was super kind and helped us understand the menu. We decided to share the Bulgogi, and we also decided to share a tempura appetizer. The tempura was great. The mixed tempura came with a good version of vegetables and a couple shrimp.
I was really impressed how tasty the Bulgogi was and how large the dinner portion was. It was enough for my wife and I to share and to feel satisfied in the meal. You also have to make sure to get the side dishes. They are so good at the end of our meal, my wife said I wanna come here again

While the foods are great, I most certainly enjoyed their kimchi. The best kimchi I’ve ever had in a Korean restaurant. The service was exceptional as well—the staff were friendly and accommodating. I’ll definitely be swinging by when I visit Oxnard again.

Kura is amazing! I lived here 5 years and never tried it! Authentically Korean- per my Korean boyfriend haha- we had the stone bowls and they came out sizzling! So delicious and the rice got that crispy bottom. Yum! And the banchan and soup was divine. They even gave us more when we ran low. The servers were very attentive. It’s a little on the pricier side but it is worth it!

This place has good Korean food. The side dishes are really good as well. Good service with friendly staff . Plenty of seating . It’s inexpensive. I would definitely go here again especially for a casual meal. It’s a good place to go on a small couple romantic meal for a No-Frills dinner. Also good for larger groups. Portions are good. Healthy wholesome food.

Me and my partner went to this restaurant we traveled from Santa Barbara so it was about a half hour drive and to start things off I guess maybe this is a thing at other restaurants but I’ve never been to a Korean barbecue restaurant where you don’t get to cook yourself with a grill at the table I wanted to leave immediately but my partner did not so I did not say anything and we stayed already on this point I would not come back because I’m coming for the experience of cooking myself and enjoying Korean food which is not an option. We started with the calamari It was very thick, cut almost seemed a little dry, and I kind of like that. It was less chewy than normal probably overcooked however, I’m not a big calamari fan. I only had a few pieces while my partner had the rest. I wanted to order the bigger plate Bulgogi And I wanted to add a soup that comes with the dinner combo. However, they said I cannot order the soup. It only comes with the dinner combo. How ridiculous is that? I can’t order a soup at an increase price because it’s not on the dinner combo. Anyhow, the amount of food that came in the combo was barely enough for two which is what me and my partner shared because by this time she didn’t even want to order Her own meal since they did not have any sweet-and-sour, hot and sour soup I forget what kind she wanted, but they did not have it. It was OK. I really enjoyed the texture and stickiness of the black bean rice however, no flavor at all the Bulgogi was tasty, but compared to other places lacking in flavor the soup that came with our meal Which is what I was most excited for also seemed subpar at best. There was kimchi on the side that was all Fishcakes I believe they were OK radish and potatoes and cube like shapes that were sweet I like them, but never had something like that before. It was interesting. The atmosphere was all right but the service was not minimal at best, and I did not like the way the server stood in the hallway behind us the whole time it was very awkward. My partner believes that she got sick from the calamari, which again she had most to herself I only had three pieces And later on for the next couple days, she was complaining about stomach problems that she believes was from the calamari. My biggest problem with this place Again is the fact that we don’t get to grill our own food I’ve never been to another Korean barbecue restaurant that did not have the grills at the table. I do not know if this is common but I do not like it one little bit. The next biggest issue is the fact that the food is not flavorfule enough and possibly not of high enough quality For them to be asking for this ridiculous prices a meal for one person comes out to the price of two meals almost anywhere else Besides steakhouses and Gordon Ramsay‘s restaurant hahaha.

If you’re looking for tasty traditional Korean food in the VC area than look no further! Sura never disappoints when it comes to authentic Korean dishes that tastes like home cooked meals. My regular go to dishes are the bibimbap, bulgogi, and chicken plate. You cannot go wrong with the tofu soup as well. I believe what sets this place apart is the quality of the side dishes that they specialize in since they are the perfect addition to balance out the rich foods and the welcoming atmosphere ran by local owners who are always so sweet when I stop by. It is also located in a beautiful shopping center overlooking water and has plenty of parking spaces.

The food is to die for! So many yummy flavors! We got the ribs and tempura. We ate here last night which made me very happy. We first came here a few years ago with friends and ever since then I’ve wanted to return. We don’t live in the area but if we did I would definitely be a regular customer. Our server was very friendly and attentive.
