I’m a Londoner, so I’m used to great multi-cultural cuisine but not always great service. Vancouver’s somewhere I’ve always dreamed of going to, and I’m here! So over the next few weeks I’m going to write about some Vancouver food experiences that really excite me.
Korean Miso and Tofu soup
Sura is one of Robson Street’s kitty of Asian eateries. It has no new radical or fusion philosophy, just traditional Korean, tasty grub.
We were overcome with interest by the menu, what to choose? ‘Can you give us a bit more time’, we told the waitress who was tentative and no way intrusive. A Korean couples dishes sitting next to us caught our attention, so we asked to them what they were eating. One was a seafood pancake which they very kindly gave us a taster of; it is a light pancake with squid, shrimp, crab meat and spring onion.
Galbi beef
The other dish they were eating was the signature dish of the restaurant, “Galbi”.
We went on to order Galbi- a dish consisting grilled beef short ribs in Sura's house marinade, some of the most succulent beef I’ve ever tasted.
Kimchi Pancake
We also had a traditional bean curd soup with tofu and a Kimchi Pancake. You might be interested to know the Kimchi is pickled 'in house'.

One of the main emphases of Korean cuisine is the Barbecue. The word Barbecue reminds me of those warm summer days back in England, in my Aunties countryside garden, cooking up a BBQ for the whole family.
For that friendly home-style cooking with a chef's edge, that will get your taste buds tingling get down to Sura, it wont disappoint!
