Sura Korean BBQ - Korean restaurant in Johnston - 300 George Waterman Rd, USA

My wife's cousin came to visit us in MA from NY and she said she wanted Korean BBQ, so my wife found this place online that wasn't too far away from us. We got there for lunch around 1pm where it had a few tables but wasn't full, so they say it's down right away. First thing to point out is that they have their own parking lot, which is so much better than when you go to a place somewhere in NY or Boston and have to spend half an hour or more looking for parking. The other thing I would like to say is that they were attentive. At one point one member of our party dropped their chopsticks and without asking a server brought us another pair. And every time we wanted more food they would notice me right away raising my hand to give them the filled out sheet, and one time they just saw someone from our party trying to place the paper on the little stand they have and they came right away. So they do pay attention to you. For anyone wondering they bring you soda cans so they don't have free refills although they didn't charge me for a second one, either by mistake or cause I only had two. Also they do add a 15% tip to your bill and you can add more if you like as they are worth at least the 15% (we added another 20%) So for those that complain, you should be leaving at least 15%. I mean when they would bring us more food and notice the tray was dirty for cooking, they would change it right away. The food was amazing and I would recommend any of the spicy meats they have on the menu. They make a mess of your tray, but they taste great and they change your tray when it gets dirty. We are definitely going there again.. even though it is a 30 minute drive for us, but at least I don't have to spend that time looking for parking.

Went here for my bday lunch and was very impressed. I chose the ‘regular eat all you can’ and plenty of food! Don’t get too carried away before ordering everything as their portions very generous. Meat was all tender and easy to grill. Tonkatsu was my favorite. Would go back again (and again)!

This place was pretty easy to find. The parking lot is small, but it was not busy so parking was easy to find. Korean food is my favorite and this place did not let me down. It is on the pricier side, but I satisfied my cravings and left with a full belly.

I was here since the first month they were first open, and I have been visiting occasionally since. However, through the years, their quality and service have slowly going downhill. It have reached the line that, even if they were the only korean BBQ open in RI, I most likely would only visit once a year or none at all. The lettuces they served were barely washed have few still have dirt on them, the beef ribs we ordered were bone ribs with barely any beef, and the jalapeños we order were served to us as a whole piece and never rinsed off AT ALL. To top it all off, I left the 2nd round of order sheet at the corner of the table where is visible and smooth to grab, but the server never visited the table for about 15-20 minutes that I remember. Mind you, Including mine table, there were only three tables total that were dinning at the moment. Personally speaking, I would rather sacrifice an extra 20 minutes of driving to eat at some similar and better place like in Boston or Quincy than dining in here. Sorry to say, but I probably would rather adjust my taste of the day and eat hotpot at many other locations in RI than coming in here.

My daughter surprised me for my birthday. I have wanted to try Korean bbq for a very long time. The staff were friendly, visible for help, hands-on demonstrating, and very patient with first-time guests. We ordered a lot of meat, lol! The meat selections were fresh, very delicious, and so tender. Using the table grill was easy(with some staff help, lol!). For a first-time experience, I was very pleased.

It wasn’t to my liking. the waiter was rude. He only came to our table once and the steak was spoiled rotten. the cup was dirty. they have no straws for adults. the food look unedible and we were charged $200 for spoiled rotten meat.

I absolutely loved it! This was my first time trying Korean BBQ, and I had no idea what to expect. Previous reviews said staff were rude about questions, but my waitress was kind and gave good recommendations. One thing to note, do not underestimate the amount of meat you get. You can choose up to 5, and we did that and were absolutely stuffed by the end. Because it is all you can eat, and high quality meat, there's a surcharge per 8oz of raw meat leftover, but you can alleviate that by just ordering a few things and going from there. We also tried Soju for the first time, and it was great. Very smooth and sweet, wouldn't even think it was alcohol.

Went on the weekend and the rules at this establishment are unnecessary. For instance, my boyfriend and I noticed there was only one pair of tongs to cook the food. We asked for another pair and were denied. We were told that they do not provide more than one tong on the weekend?? Hmm okay, so then I asked for a knife to cut up my cooked meat into more manageable bit sized pieces and was denied that too! The food was okay but the shrimp was not deveined and there was no knife to do it myself so that was a complete waste. The fried dumplings barely had any filling in them either. We only took one bite out of the dumplings and we even called one of the managers over to complain about it but they did not remove it from our bill. Really disappointed in this place for it being one of the only Korean BBQ spots in the area. Personally we won’t be returning.
