Sura is located right on Hwy 7 and Kennedy Rd, where the old Lobster Salute used to be. I came here in a group of 6 for dinner on a Saturday night. Since Sura is new on the block, we weren't sure how packed it would be so we made reservation before hand. Lucky we did because the space is very small. I'd say not really ideal for big groups unless you can make reservations prior to going.
Environment: Although the space is quite small but with their choice of minimalist decor, white washed wood planks and light coloured tables, the space feels airy and bright.
Service: no complaints here. Food didn't take long to serve. Servers were attentive and friendly.
Food: The star of the night was the Tower GamJa Jeongol ($35), which is a tower of thinly sliced pork slices on top of Pork Bone Soup cooked right on your table. We got the pork bone soup in mild but the broth was still flavourful. Pork bones were tender and the meat fell off the bones easily. We cooked the pork slices into the pork bone soup broth and they soaked in all the flavour from the broth. The only complaint here was that there wasn't enough broth in the end because of the constant boiling to cook the pork slices. The LA Kalbi ($23) was tender and tasty but I find the portion to be a bit small for the price. The seafood pancake was solid with lots of seafood in every bite. Budae Jjigae (pork stew with kimchi, sausage, dumplings and noodles) was delicious as well, not too sour and not too spicy.
Another thing that impressed me was that they not only give you generous amount of the usual Banchan (side dishes), but miso soup and a mini bowl of congee for each person to start! And after all the savoury goodness, you also get a complimentary bottle of Yakult! It was a very satisfying meal and Sura hit all the right spot for me. I'd definitely come back again and recommend!
