Best Restaurants for Korean Food and Barbecue in San Diego | Eater San Diego

"Sura Korean BBQ is one of the only all-you-can-eat Korean barbecue options in Chula Vista. The restaurant comes from partners Liang and Joon Lee, who also operate Common Theory, Of 52 Remedies, and Woomiok in the Convoy District. The move into Chula Vista comes as Liang wanted to open a restaurant in the border town he grew up in. The meat is served buffet-style, complemented by buckets of pho, offer pho, rice paper pancake, pancit, and tortillas, a nod to the melding of cultures in South Bay. Three tiers of proteins range from the classic set that comes with spicy beef belly, LA galbi, a garlic butter small octopus, to the Sura, which includes lobster tail and prime rolled short rib. Pair with a glass from the wide selection of beers on tap, wine, or soju with all-day happy hour prices on weekdays. Take-out bento boxes include meats, like beef bulgogi or spicy pork belly, with rice, fried dumplings, and tofu stew." - Helen I. Hwang
