The Korean lunch boxes at Sura are a great deal. I’m a beef fan, so I usually go for the bulgogi (thinly sliced sirloin beef marinated in sweet soy sauce) or the kalbi (marinated rib eye beef grilled on charcoal). In addition to the main, the lunch box is served with a salad, (over)dressed in carrot miso dressing, two small pieces of mung bean pancake, two pieces of California roll, white or multigrain rice (go for multigrain as you can get white anywhere), spinach miso soup, and a roll of kimchi. It’s a copious, well-balanced meal, all for just around $10. Who wouldn’t crave that?
