Writes about a Seoul restaurant visited over lunch. · Writes about: Restaurants · Bars
Ito is an izakaya on the basement level of a building in Gwangjin, Seoul, about a 3-minute walk from Konkuk University Station. At a dimly lit table, Ito's mixed sashimi (with sushi rice), abalone in liver sauce and sukiyaki hot pot brought cold raw fish and a hot pot together in one meal. Ito opens Tuesday to Sunday from 5pm until 1am the next day, which makes it a good fit for drinks that start late.
Kuu Kuu Nowon Branch is a sushi buffet on the 6th floor of the Seoul Oncheon Building in Nowon, Seoul, with seating for large families and groups plus free parking in the building. The walk from Hagye Station Exit 2 on Line 7 is about 800m, and the buffet spread runs from sushi to Korean, Chinese and Western dishes and a dessert corner, with up to 2 hours of free parking for building guests. For a holiday or weekend family outing where everyone wants something different, Kuu Kuu Nowon Branch handles it easily.
