Sura Korean Restaurant

This place is amazing! Take out is always quick and food is so delish and favorable. They never disappoint. I wish prices weren't so high, otherwise I'd eat there at least 3 times a week, but it's worth it. Best place in town!

This is the best place for Korean food in Temecula! I love getting the soontofu here. But everyother food is amazing. Today, my friend recommended I get the buckwheat noodles. It was savory and spicy, and COLD. Perfect for a hot day. The service can be a little slow because it's always packed. I had to wait about 10 minutes outside. They have a little paper that you can write your name on the front. Then after getting seated, it was another 10 minutes to get our order. But the food is so WORTH IT. Parking is free in the plaza, super easy. Anytime I'm in the Temecula Area, I'll make sure to stop by here.

My boyfriend and I had dinner for the first time here, and the food was awesome. I ordered the Tofu Seafood Soup with medium spiciness level, and it was packed with so much flavor. One thing I love about soups is their broth, and this soup had an amazing broth. The our waiter was kind, attentive, and our food came out rather quickly. The interior is cozy and very welcoming. I definitely recommend coming here and I would love to come back.

Such good Korean food. The food was just- so good. The authenticity was on point, and the flavors were great. Ive been to Korea and my dining partner lived there- we were both impressed with the food. They were very busy, and only one server who was so courteous and as efficient as possible- if they had one more server, it would be 5 across the board. There was only one person for the entire restaurant- she was awesome, but she is only one woman. I forgot to take timely photos- but here is our mostly devoured delicious meal. Fried dumplings, Korean short ribs, cold spicy noodle, kimchi assorted, and beef bulgogi. We did not eat hotpot but saw some others receive theirs and it looked great.

Back in NYC this would just be another Korean spot. But finding this in Temecula is a miracle! We ordered everything from galbi to bibimbap to jap chae to ramen to the tofu soon. Everything was delicious and authentic as it should be. I’m so happy we have this in our area!!!!

First time here. Spent quite a bit of time reading reviews to figure out what to get. Ended up with E8 Stir Fried Pork Belly with tofu and Kimchi, fried dumplings, and C2 bulgogi and Soon Tofu (which is a smaller portion of the first and second columns, bulgogi and kimchi soup). They came with extra small sides of kimchi, pickled cucumber, sprouts and we each got rice. Bonus was the Kloud beer. Service was slow, probably because it's just the 2 owners. Waited a while to get seated and at that time there were open tables. Prices are about $28 for entrees. If you aren't in a rush and not starving and want great Korean food, go check it out! Spent 1hr 45min here.

So, I wanted to eat somewhere in town I'd never been before and found SURA online with a 4.8☆ with 79 reviews. Instantly I was intrigued because that basically means this place is almost a perfect 5☆ with a decently substantial amount of reviews. I can say with absolute certainty that all the high reviews are valid. This place killed it. We ordered the BBQ Korean Chicken, Dumplings and the Clam, Shrimp, Mussal Soon Tofu and it was all delicious. I love the massive, multi-dish sides that come with everything which add additional flavor to everything you're eating. Highly, highly recommend this establishment!

Wow. Such a wonderful experience. The food was brought quick and the taste of each dish was amazing. We had the E8 (stir fried pork belly with tofu and kimchi) and c3(spicy pork bulgogi +spoon tofu). Will definitely be making this my regular spot. The host was friendly too and the amount of food for the price was superb.

What we ordered. A lunch combo C2, a Bulgogi + Soon Tofu, a regular entree E2 Bulgogi, and Japchae and a free sides dish of steamed rice, kimchi, potato, cucumber, bean sprouts, and fish cake. Good Korean food.

Sura Korean Restaurant exceeded my expectations. Although I initially visited for ramen, the Bibimbap caught my eye, and I'm thrilled I tried it. The dish, accompanied by a delightful side of soup, tasted as amazing as it looked. The service was impeccable, creating a dining experience that momentarily transported me from California. Sura is a gem, offering not just delicious food but a glimpse into authentic Korean cuisine with a touch of exceptional service.

As someone who has never eaten Korean food before this place has set the bar extremely high for me and my partner. The food was AMAZING, the restaurant was very clean, staff SUPER helpful and answered all the questions we had, I didn't know how to properly eat the dish I ordered and the owner was so kind and helpful showing me how to eat it since I've never had it before. My boyfriend now has an addiction to Kimchi, he said the spice levels were perfect. Everything was delicious and very refreshing! We left with overly full stomachs but don't feel sluggish or grossly full. Ice cold drinks inside insulated cups kept the ice cold the whole time, we will be coming back another time for dinner to try the hot pot!

I was hesitant at first because the prices are definitely are not on the cheaper side, but the quality of the food speaks for itself. The kimchee tasted like my grandmother's and the rest of the banchan was fresh, clean and well made. I ordered this galbi combo, spicy pork bulgogi and soon tofu soup. Both beef dishes were delicious and robust in flavor and the soup was absolutely flavorful and had the perfect amount of spice. After dinner was completed, the owner brought some Yakult probiotic for everyone which was perfect to settle the stomach. I must say this is the best Korean Restaurant in Temecula and I will be back again.

We are just visiting the area for a few days but after a long drive from Vegas, we wanted some Korean food. We found Sura just by searching on Yelp. It was close and it was open, so we tried it. So pleasantly surprised! This place has legitimately solid and good Korean food. The pork bulgogi was on point, perfect blend of spicy and the meat was tender. This was the portion offered for the "tofu soup and pot bulgogi" combo - not bad! The galbi was the a la carte order. It's not a huge portion for the price but it was well seasoned, not too sweet (which I hate) and nicely cooked with good charring in few spots. Expensive but prices are high these days and this was good. The tofu soup's flavor was great! For a regular mom and pop joint, I do not expect good soft tofu soup but this base was well done and the portion was more than ample for one person. We also ordered fried dumplings -- and devoured those. They're perfectly fried, crunchy on the outside but soft on the inside. Tastes homemade. One tip to the owners of Sura: INCLUDE THE EGG WITH YOUR TOFU SOUP. Come on... that's a basic ingredient for soontofu soup. Don't skimp on that. If I hadn't already read reviews saying it's not included, I'd have taken issue with this last night. When in the area, check out Sura. Good place! The prices are a bit high — $49.99 for “bossam” is a bit ludicrous — but for most of the other items, it’s not totally overpriced.

Delicious food! Authentic Korean dishes offered. The combo Bibimbap and spicy tofu soup was really great!

I discovered this place a month ago while visiting Temecula and purposely drove from San Diego again today to eat here because there is nothing that even comes close to matching the quality and amount of food you get, especially for the price. I wish I could give them 30 stars. Please open a location in San Diego!!

An earnest and family-owned Korean restaurant serving classic dishes. I got their combo of Bulgolgi and Tofu Soup. Plenty of food and great paired up with the banhchan side dishes. All around good flavor and cooked well! The soup may be a bit spicy but very flavorful. My friend got some Bimbimbap and Dumplings which were delicious as well. Definitely try it out! Service was super friendly and helpful and ambiance was nice and clean!

Craving for a “DanBam” or a sweet night of enjoying authentic Korean food with family and close friends but cannot drive to San Diego or Korea Town in LA? This is your place. A bit expensive but the taste is worth it. Don’t forget your Terra Beer or Soju, goes well with the tofu and bulgogi.

The food here is excellent. We really enjoyed the quality of the dishes. However, the service was very disappointing. We ordered two combo meals, and each combo clearly includes its own set of 5 side dishes. When our order arrived, we were only given one set of sides instead of two. We politely asked the elderly staff member about the missing set, but she refused to provide it. We tried to explain the order, but she seemed unwilling to listen, did not attempt to clarify, and eventually walked away from us without resolving the issue. Good food alone isn’t enough to make up for poor customer service. Unfortunately, because of this experience, we won’t be coming back.

Came here to try Korean food after finding google and yelp reviews. I don’t recommend! Came here on Saturday around 11:30 right after they opened and when we walked in it smell so bad like sewer … not sure if they were having a sewer issues but smelled really bad, but decide to give it a try. We ordered yukgajang- it was ok nothing special, soon tofu combo with fish - decent, and tofu kimchee bokgum with pork- don’t get it! It was sooo oily with oil and the pork was not cooked enough… it didn’t look like the picture from any of the reviews. However the service was good, but I will not recommend this restaurant if you are looking for a good Korean food near Temecula.

The combo comes with 5 side dishes. We ordered 2 combos, but they only gave us 1 set. We asked for the other set of side dishes, but the server refused. We tried to explain, but she did not understand English well. In the end, we did not get the other 5 side dishes. Their service does not deserve a single star.

Well, didn’t think I would have to write a negative review for my favorite restaurant. I have been coming here for close to two years by myself. Single eater never have had any issue came in today was told that they cannot serve me for one person when there was open seating all around I didn’t want to have to leave my favorite Korean place, but I don’t think that that was right when I’ve definitely been here for two years I guess I will have to find a place that serves a single person.

I was disappointed that they don’t serve jjangmyeyon (black bean noodles) or kimbap (Korean-version of sushi) anymore. However, I did try that Lunch Special for the first time. I’ve had that black bean noodles, kimbap, and yukgaejang (spicy beef noodles). All were great! 5 stars on those. Today, I’ve tried the Spicy Pork bulgogi…it was a bit much of the sauce, the red bean paste. Usually corn syrup is in it, which I was trying to avoid, especially with my diabetes. So, I asked for an extra bowl of white rice, which was $3 to compensate the extreme sweetness… I’m putting 1 stars strictly for attention because both of the servers I was usually with…were not there today. The server I had today was a bit rough on the edges, but don’t misunderstand him or get him wrong. I can understand his perspective, especially when we had met only once before and he may not acclimate to American culture just yet. Otherwise, he was fine by me. I encourage you to try this place out. It’s still one of my favorite Korean restaurants around…especially the luxurious and comfortable ambiance.
