| - Came here couple of months ago, thinking I would be walking into a Oo-Kook or Bud Namu type of an AYCE. Wrong! This is a pseudo-Asian buffet a la Makino or Krazy Buffet, except it has cook-at-table Korean bbq as well. Sort of Cheong-Woon Buffet meets Krazy Buffet. Since I don't care for Cheong-Woon at $22 and Krazy is a good deal at $13, I'm definitely not going crazy for Sura at $25.
AYCE Korean bbq should focus on the bbq and not try to stuff customers' bellies with other crap. Well, the meat is somewhat limited here - bulgogi, L.A. kalbi, chadol, pork belly & bulgogi, and some chicken and intestines. And then a hundred non-bbq stuff. Me not like that combo. If the meat is the most expensive thing on the menu and people are eating 50% other stuff, shouldn't it be cheaper than the places where customers are eating 80% bbq? To me the less meat, the less they should charge unless the other dishes are crab and lobster.
Anyway, it tastes pretty good, other dishes are generally decent, and meat is decent quality. But I'm not coming back here unless they reduce the price by $6-7. If I wanted other dishes I'll go to Krazy Buffet, it's similar quality. I'm willing to pay $25 for AYCE BBQ, if I'm getting the 8-9 choices of beef and pork including saeng galbi, sirloin, etc. But not for this. I want Oo-Kook in Vegas!!
Table-for-1 Factor: Suppose they wouldn't refuse, but not sure AYCE is appropriate for 1 person even in this setting.
