It's the brand that comes to mind first when you think sushi or sashimi buffet, and I heard this Nowon location in particular went through a major renewal and menu boost, so I went in with high expectations. ![Exterior view of Kuu Kuu Nowon Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/kuu-kuu-nowon-sushi-buffet-shrimp-nigiri/kuu-kuu-nowon-sushi-buffet-shrimp-nigiri-01-f1g03-1200.webp) ## Where is Kuu Kuu Nowon Branch, and where do you park? Kuu Kuu Nowon Branch is located at 247 Nowon-ro, Nowon-gu, Seoul (Seoul Onchun Building), and it's really accessible. If you're driving, use the parking entrance at the rear of the building — you get 2 hours free parking with Seoul Onchun Building parking, which made things easy. That said, on weekends or holidays the lot can fill up fast with the crowds, so during weekend peak hours I'd recommend taking public transit or checking nearby paid parking options in advance! ![Entrance to Kuu Kuu Nowon Branch on the 6th floor of Seoul Onchun Building](https://img.superchart.com/images/kuu-kuu-nowon-sushi-buffet-shrimp-nigiri/kuu-kuu-nowon-sushi-buffet-shrimp-nigiri-02-1bh0o-900.webp) ## A 300-pyeong hall and group seating at Kuu Kuu The moment I stepped inside, a spacious, comfortable hall of over 300 pyeong opened up in front of me. The natural wood and white tone gave it a relaxed yet very bright atmosphere. The hall itself is huge and the seats are spaced generously, so even with lots of people around, the flow never felt cramped. In particular, they offer independent, venue-style group seating for parties of 50, 80, and up to 300. With rooms for 40 to 60 people and private spaces ranging from as small as 14 to as large as 200, it made total sense why this place is popular for Nowon company dinners, 60th birthday parties, first birthdays, and other large family gatherings. ![Spacious buffet hall seating in natural wood tones](https://img.superchart.com/images/kuu-kuu-nowon-sushi-buffet-shrimp-nigiri/kuu-kuu-nowon-sushi-buffet-shrimp-nigiri-03-8xsys-900.webp) ![Private seating space for group use](https://img.superchart.com/images/kuu-kuu-nowon-sushi-buffet-shrimp-nigiri/kuu-kuu-nowon-sushi-buffet-shrimp-nigiri-04-sw8og-900.webp) ## How much does Kuu Kuu Nowon Branch cost, and how long can you stay? The standard dining time is 2 hours, and if there are waiting guests, it drops to 1.5 hours. Prices run ₩27,900 for weekday lunch (before 5pm), ₩31,900 for weekday dinner (after 5pm), and ₩35,900 on weekends and holidays. Given the quality and variety of the menu on offer, it feels like genuinely great value. ![Buffet price guide by time slot at Kuu Kuu Nowon Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/kuu-kuu-nowon-sushi-buffet-shrimp-nigiri/kuu-kuu-nowon-sushi-buffet-shrimp-nigiri-05-1f5zr-900.webp) ## Unlimited Terra and Kelly draft beer with a review The first thing that really caught my eye this visit was the amazing perk: unlimited free draft beer! Usually buffets charge extra for beer, but by participating in the review event, I got unlimited draft worth ₩5,900 for free. And it wasn't the cheap Filite stuff either — it was proper 100% draft Terra and Kelly, so I got to enjoy it nice and cold. Pairing cool sushi with a crisp, hoppy draft beer was honestly an art form. ![Unlimited Terra and Kelly draft beer corner](https://img.superchart.com/images/kuu-kuu-nowon-sushi-buffet-shrimp-nigiri/kuu-kuu-nowon-sushi-buffet-shrimp-nigiri-06-19k2t-900.webp) ## Norwegian raw salmon sashimi Next I headed to the newly launched 'raw salmon sashimi' corner, available as a weekday dinner and weekend/holiday menu item. Get this — Norwegian raw salmon sashimi that's not even at Kuu Kuu's premium Gold branch has landed at the Nowon branch! It was on a totally different level from frozen salmon — moist, savory, and melt-in-your-mouth soft in a way that felt like a record-breaker. If you love salmon, going back for seconds and thirds of just this alone would be enough to get your money's worth. ![Norwegian raw salmon sashimi corner](https://img.superchart.com/images/kuu-kuu-nowon-sushi-buffet-shrimp-nigiri/kuu-kuu-nowon-sushi-buffet-shrimp-nigiri-07-6ug98-899.webp) ![Raw salmon sashimi on a plate](https://img.superchart.com/images/kuu-kuu-nowon-sushi-buffet-shrimp-nigiri/kuu-kuu-nowon-sushi-buffet-shrimp-nigiri-08-1hwl0-900.webp) ## Bigger flounder and salmon sushi, plus jumbo shrimp (yukdan) sushi True to its name as a leading Nowon sushi buffet, the sushi lineup got a real upgrade too. The flounder sushi and salmon sushi both had noticeably larger cuts of fish than before, filling the mouth generously. The rice portion was just right and the fish was laid on thick and long, giving satisfaction on par with a dedicated sushi restaurant. ![Enlarged flounder and salmon sushi](https://img.superchart.com/images/kuu-kuu-nowon-sushi-buffet-shrimp-nigiri/kuu-kuu-nowon-sushi-buffet-shrimp-nigiri-09-d2ua1-900.webp) The shrimp sushi also got a major upgrade. Using plump, springy jumbo shrimp, every bite released that distinctly sweet, deep shrimp flavor throughout the mouth. Shrimp sushi fans would absolutely fall for this. ![Shrimp sushi topped with jumbo shrimp](https://img.superchart.com/images/kuu-kuu-nowon-sushi-buffet-shrimp-nigiri/kuu-kuu-nowon-sushi-buffet-shrimp-nigiri-10-dl4yi-900.webp) ![Sushi display corner at the buffet](https://img.superchart.com/images/kuu-kuu-nowon-sushi-buffet-shrimp-nigiri/kuu-kuu-nowon-sushi-buffet-shrimp-nigiri-11-19qog-900.webp) ## Hot dishes: lamb chops and smoked duck Beyond seafood, the hot dish lineup is impressive too. There's a new all-day item, 'lamb chops,' with no gamey smell at all — soft, and full of the meat's own rich aroma and flavor, feeling genuinely upscale. There's also 'smoked duck,' served as a weekday dinner and weekend item, with a chewy texture and just the right amount of savory fat, making it a great pairing with other dishes. ![Lamb chops at the hot dish corner](https://img.superchart.com/images/kuu-kuu-nowon-sushi-buffet-shrimp-nigiri/kuu-kuu-nowon-sushi-buffet-shrimp-nigiri-12-14jon-900.webp) ![Smoked duck, a weekday dinner menu item](https://img.superchart.com/images/kuu-kuu-nowon-sushi-buffet-shrimp-nigiri/kuu-kuu-nowon-sushi-buffet-shrimp-nigiri-13-guh0m-900.webp) ### What one plate at Kuu Kuu looks like I loaded up a plate full of sushi, salad, and sashimi and dug in happily. You could taste the freshness in every single ingredient! Our top pick was the raw salmon sashimi!!! ![First plate with sushi, salad, and sashimi](https://img.superchart.com/images/kuu-kuu-nowon-sushi-buffet-shrimp-nigiri/kuu-kuu-nowon-sushi-buffet-shrimp-nigiri-14-1xyhz-900.webp) For my second plate, I brought over lamb chops, smoked duck, and some warm fried food and rolls. The balance of meat and seafood was great, so it's something everyone, young or old, can enjoy without any complaints. ![Second plate with lamb chops, smoked duck, fried food, and rolls](https://img.superchart.com/images/kuu-kuu-nowon-sushi-buffet-shrimp-nigiri/kuu-kuu-nowon-sushi-buffet-shrimp-nigiri-15-19rk0-900.webp) ## Marble ice cream, now served at weekday lunch too After filling up nicely, I headed to the dessert corner. It turns out the Nowon branch upgraded 'marble ice cream' — previously only available at weekday dinner or on weekends — to be available at every time slot, including weekday lunch! I got a kick out of all the colorful, sweet marble ice cream even as an adult, and I imagine it'll be especially popular with families visiting with kids during school breaks or on weekends. ![Colorful marble ice cream dessert](https://img.superchart.com/images/kuu-kuu-nowon-sushi-buffet-shrimp-nigiri/kuu-kuu-nowon-sushi-buffet-shrimp-nigiri-16-1c9um-900.webp) ![Self-serve marble ice cream corner](https://img.superchart.com/images/kuu-kuu-nowon-sushi-buffet-shrimp-nigiri/kuu-kuu-nowon-sushi-buffet-shrimp-nigiri-17-80b82-900.webp) ![Marble ice cream in a cup](https://img.superchart.com/images/kuu-kuu-nowon-sushi-buffet-shrimp-nigiri/kuu-kuu-nowon-sushi-buffet-shrimp-nigiri-18-135v2-900.webp) ![View of the buffet dessert corner](https://img.superchart.com/images/kuu-kuu-nowon-sushi-buffet-shrimp-nigiri/kuu-kuu-nowon-sushi-buffet-shrimp-nigiri-19-14fe0-900.webp) Beyond the marble ice cream, there were also freshly baked crispy waffles made in-house, an assortment of fruit, cakes, and neat tea and brewed coffee, so you could take care of everything from the start of the meal to dessert all in one place. ![Freshly baked waffles made in-house](https://img.superchart.com/images/kuu-kuu-nowon-sushi-buffet-shrimp-nigiri/kuu-kuu-nowon-sushi-buffet-shrimp-nigiri-20-uivsw-900.webp) ![Dessert plate with fruit and cake](https://img.superchart.com/images/kuu-kuu-nowon-sushi-buffet-shrimp-nigiri/kuu-kuu-nowon-sushi-buffet-shrimp-nigiri-21-1hlfn-900.webp) ![Tea and brewed coffee corner](https://img.superchart.com/images/kuu-kuu-nowon-sushi-buffet-shrimp-nigiri/kuu-kuu-nowon-sushi-buffet-shrimp-nigiri-22-flu5b-900.webp) ![Final dessert and drinks to close the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/kuu-kuu-nowon-sushi-buffet-shrimp-nigiri/kuu-kuu-nowon-sushi-buffet-shrimp-nigiri-23-1wqjm-900.webp) ## Is Kuu Kuu Nowon Branch good for a family gathering? A spacious, comfortable 300-pyeong-plus space, upgraded premium sushi and raw salmon sashimi, varied dishes like lamb chops, and unlimited free Terra and Kelly draft beer on top of it all — it was a hugely satisfying day on every count. If you're near Nowon looking for a spot for a group gathering, a company dinner, or a hearty Nowon sushi buffet the whole family will enjoy, I'd strongly recommend Kuu Kuu Nowon Branch without hesitation! I'm already planning to come back for my next family birthday gathering. ## Where it is - Kuu Kuu Nowon Branch (쿠우쿠우 노원점) - 247 Nowon-ro, Nowon-gu, Seoul, South Korea (Seoul Onchun Building, 6th floor) - 서울특별시 노원구 노원로 247 6층 - 37.6396289, 127.0733427 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%BF%A0%EC%9A%B0%EC%BF%A0%EC%9A%B0%20%EB%85%B8%EC%9B%90%EC%A0%90/@37.6396289,127.0733427,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@gangwon-receipts/kuu-kuu-nowon-sushi-buffet-shrimp-nigiri/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
