| - When this place first opened up in 2009, I had sort of high expectations, because I'm still waiting for a quality, all you can eat Korean BBQ restaurant reminiscent of the ones in the Los Angeles, Southern California area. That being said, after dining at Sula/Sura I'm still searching for it.
The place looks giant from the outside, and its size doesn't disappoint when you go inside. The BBQ isn't a table-side service style, where the waitress takes your meat orders and brings them out to you, instead, it is true buffet fashion where you have to go to the buffet station towards the rear of the restaurant and bring back your own meats to cook.
The quality of the meats are slightly above average, and their choices range depending on if its lunch or dinner. Some of the choices to be BBQ'd might seem a little adventurous for some weary diners, such as marinated beef intestines and tripe. The meats come either marinated or not, and most of the marinades are exactly the same, but tasty. The Korean BBQ veteran might be pleased when they find they carry "Seng Kalbi" (Prime cuts of Kalbi, Bone-in) and the "Ghohb Chahng" (intestine). For the newcomer, the bulgogi, kalbi and other marinated meats should suffice. There's a fairy diverse hot food selection, but I can't really comment because I rarely ever touch that section.
As for service in Sula, I can agree with many other Yelpers. The waitstaff and management can come off extremely rude. For me, it's rather been inconsistent, sometimes they provide good service and sometimes it's non-existent. I also do agree that they often hurry for you to pay the bill before you even finish the meal. I have never been to an establishment where someone walks around delivering checks directly to the table, mid-meal, and waits for payment right on the spot, bringing change and card receipts to you while you're grilling and trying to enjoy your meal. Actually, this is precisely what prevents me from giving them a 4 star rating.
As for some other side-notes, I actually have noticed that this place has very good ventilation systems for every table. The smoke and smells from the grill in front of you don't leave you smothered in the smell of cooked meats, which is a plus. I also noticed that the grill does not get charred very fast, stays relatively clean as compared to other places. When it does, instead of changing the grills out, they come and wipe it down quickly with a clever tong+paper towel technique.
They also let you cook the meat yourself for the most of the time, which I actually prefer, but I know that some other diners prefer to have someone actually stand there and cook/serve everything for you. Having a stranger stand there, cooking and feeding you is painfully awkward for me, so it works out for me.
Pricing is average and the extended hours are great for hungry industry workers and partiers.
Overall, when I feel like eating Korean BBQ, it's either here or Woo-Che, but it's not by any means the best in Las Vegas. At the moment there is no defining place to get your fix, but I'll keep searching far and wide until I find it.
