Arriving right at weekday opening still meant tables already filling with group parties and solo diners, and the spread ran from salmon and shrimp sushi and rolls to fried items and hot food, then fruit, cake and ice cream. The generous gaps between tables make Kuu Kuu Nowon Branch an easy pick for both family gatherings and work dinners. ## Good to know - **Location**: 247 Nowon-ro, 6th floor, Nowon-gu, Seoul (near Hagye Station) - **Parking**: Available - **Seating**: Many tables, generous spacing, plenty of group seating - **Menu**: Sushi, rolls and gunkan, fried food, pizza, pasta, salad, Korean dishes, desserts *as written by the visitor on Sep 13, 2026* I was craving sushi so badly today, so I headed to the famous Nowon family-meal spot near Hagye Station that my fiancé loves haha — Kuu Kuu! It's such a well-known place that I went in with high expectations, and honestly I came out even more satisfied than I thought I'd be haha. ## Where is Kuu Kuu Nowon Branch, and is there parking? Kuu Kuu Nowon Branch is at 247 Nowon-ro, 6th floor, Nowon-gu, Seoul, close to Hagye Station, so it wasn't hard to find at all. It's easy to reach by public transit, and parking is available too, so driving over wasn't a hassle either!! ![Entrance view of Kuu Kuu Nowon Branch near Hagye Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/kuukuu-nowon-weekday-open-run-salmon/kuukuu-nowon-weekday-open-run-salmon-01-1vlz6-1200.webp) ## Inside Kuu Kuu Nowon Branch: how far apart are the tables? ![Spacious interior of Kuu Kuu Nowon Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/kuukuu-nowon-weekday-open-run-salmon/kuukuu-nowon-weekday-open-run-salmon-02-1kvaz-900.webp) The store at Kuu Kuu Nowon Branch was really spacious!

Since it was a weekday, I figured it would be quiet, so we timed our arrival with opening... but I was shocked to find it already pretty full!😲 It seems like plenty of people come here for lunch gatherings!! With so much group seating, lots of people had come together for lunch, but there were solo diners too!! Popular places really are different, ugh. If we'd come even a little later, it probably would've been even more packed. ## What's on the buffet line, from sushi to Korean dishes and dessert ![Sushi display corner at Kuu Kuu Nowon Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/kuukuu-nowon-weekday-open-run-salmon/kuukuu-nowon-weekday-open-run-salmon-05-9pbk1-m-900.webp) ![Display case with salmon and tuna sushi](https://img.superchart.com/images/kuukuu-nowon-weekday-open-run-salmon/kuukuu-nowon-weekday-open-run-salmon-06-1bopf-900.webp) ![Roll and gunkan sushi corner](https://img.superchart.com/images/kuukuu-nowon-weekday-open-run-salmon/kuukuu-nowon-weekday-open-run-salmon-07-jbi50-900.webp) ![Buffet corner with various sushi types](https://img.superchart.com/images/kuukuu-nowon-weekday-open-run-salmon/kuukuu-nowon-weekday-open-run-salmon-08-f1y4w-900.webp) I could immediately tell why this place is famous as a Nowon sushi buffet haha. The sushi varieties were seriously diverse. Salmon, tuna, shrimp, plus rolls and gunkan (battleship sushi), so my plate filled up fast just picking one of each. ![Buffet corner with fried food and hot food](https://img.superchart.com/images/kuukuu-nowon-weekday-open-run-salmon/kuukuu-nowon-weekday-open-run-salmon-09-cl75b-900.webp) ![Buffet corner with pizza and pasta](https://img.superchart.com/images/kuukuu-nowon-weekday-open-run-salmon/kuukuu-nowon-weekday-open-run-salmon-10-fxtms-900.webp) ![Salad and Korean food corner](https://img.superchart.com/images/kuukuu-nowon-weekday-open-run-salmon/kuukuu-nowon-weekday-open-run-salmon-11-zaz2v-900.webp) ![Dessert display corner](https://img.superchart.com/images/kuukuu-nowon-weekday-open-run-salmon/kuukuu-nowon-weekday-open-run-salmon-12-81zeu-900.webp) And it wasn't just sushi — there was fried food, pizza, pasta, salad, Korean dishes, even dessert, nothing missing! It was great for a group where everyone has different tastes but can still all be happy. ## What I ate: salmon sushi and the hot food counter ![Plate of salmon sushi and rolls](https://img.superchart.com/images/kuukuu-nowon-weekday-open-run-salmon/kuukuu-nowon-weekday-open-run-salmon-13-54qew-900.webp) Naturally I went for the salmon sushi first haha. The salmon was soft and the rice portion was just right, so it was easy to try a bit of everything. The shrimp sushi was tasty too, and the rolls were easy to enjoy without feeling too heavy. ![Plate with shrimp sushi and rolls](https://img.superchart.com/images/kuukuu-nowon-weekday-open-run-salmon/kuukuu-nowon-weekday-open-run-salmon-14-16b8m-900.webp) In between I grabbed some fried food and hot food, and I was surprised the quality was better than I expected — it didn't feel like sloppy buffet food at all. Trying one thing after another, I completely lost track of time. ![Plate of fried food and hot food](https://img.superchart.com/images/kuukuu-nowon-weekday-open-run-salmon/kuukuu-nowon-weekday-open-run-salmon-15-xf9s7-900.webp) ![Plate of hot food](https://img.superchart.com/images/kuukuu-nowon-weekday-open-run-salmon/kuukuu-nowon-weekday-open-run-salmon-16-egzux-900.webp) ![Plate with sushi and side dishes together](https://img.superchart.com/images/kuukuu-nowon-weekday-open-run-salmon/kuukuu-nowon-weekday-open-run-salmon-17-554ep-900.webp) ![Buffet food plates on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/kuukuu-nowon-weekday-open-run-salmon/kuukuu-nowon-weekday-open-run-salmon-18-89toh-900.webp) Even though I was already stuffed, dessert had to happen!😂 I finished things off properly with fruit, cake, and ice cream. A buffet really isn't complete without dessert haha. ## Does Kuu Kuu Nowon work for family gatherings and work dinners? ![Dessert plate with fruit and cake](https://img.superchart.com/images/kuukuu-nowon-weekday-open-run-salmon/kuukuu-nowon-weekday-open-run-salmon-19-1o8pd-900.webp) ![Dessert plate with ice cream](https://img.superchart.com/images/kuukuu-nowon-weekday-open-run-salmon/kuukuu-nowon-weekday-open-run-salmon-20-e5j52-900.webp) Being able to enjoy such a variety of dishes all at once made for a really satisfying meal. It's nice to come with your parents, nice to come with friends, and the biggest advantage is that even when several people visit together, everyone can freely enjoy whatever they want. So if you're looking for a good restaurant in Nowon, or thinking about a spot for a work dinner in Nowon, or want a generous Nowon sushi buffet, I'd recommend this place! ## Honest verdict on Kuu Kuu Nowon Branch ![Table at Kuu Kuu Nowon Branch after finishing the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/kuukuu-nowon-weekday-open-run-salmon/kuukuu-nowon-weekday-open-run-salmon-21-1ypmf-900.webp) ![View of the store from the seating area at Kuu Kuu Nowon Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/kuukuu-nowon-weekday-open-run-salmon/kuukuu-nowon-weekday-open-run-salmon-22-mipza-900.webp) ![Final shot of buffet food plates at Kuu Kuu Nowon Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/kuukuu-nowon-weekday-open-run-salmon/kuukuu-nowon-weekday-open-run-salmon-23-e17lx-900.webp) Seeing how busy it was even during a weekday opening run made it clear why this place is so popular haha.
