The sushi was good quality: a sensible amount of rice, with thick, fresh slices of fish and toppings. After we were shown to our seats, the first place I ran to was of course Kuu Kuu's main attraction, the sushi corner. As you'd expect from a place famous as a Nowon sushi buffet, chefs at the live station kept making sushi and refilling it nonstop. ![Sushi corner at Kuu Kuu Nowon Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/nowon-sushi-buffet-mom-yellowtail-japchae/nowon-sushi-buffet-mom-yellowtail-japchae-07-1e5vb-900.webp) ### Fatty tuna sushi and yellowtail sushi The sushi that stood out most was the fatty tuna and the yellowtail. It felt amazing to get fresh fatty tuna and yellowtail sushi at a buffet. The fatty tuna kept its grain intact, and the moment it hit my mouth, rich oil and tenderness spread out. The yellowtail was chewy and clean-tasting, as if it were in season, and I went back for it several times. ![Fatty tuna sushi and yellowtail sushi at Kuu Kuu Nowon Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/nowon-sushi-buffet-mom-yellowtail-japchae/nowon-sushi-buffet-mom-yellowtail-japchae-08-1kn5q-900.webp) ![Sushi corner menu at Kuu Kuu Nowon Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/nowon-sushi-buffet-mom-yellowtail-japchae/nowon-sushi-buffet-mom-yellowtail-japchae-09-1sgkj-900.webp) ## Hot dishes at Kuu Kuu Nowon Branch: LA galbi, chili pork and flower buns On one side of the hot dish corner was a big pile of sweet-and-salty LA galbi (marinated beef short ribs), braised until the meat slid right off the bone. The seasoning had soaked in well, and it was a total rice thief. Next to it were a zesty, spicy stir-fried chili pork (gochujapchae style, with peppers) and steaming flower buns (kkotppang) you tear apart along the layers. The chili pork had a subtle smoky, wok-fired flavor, and I think I liked it even more than the Chinese restaurant version. ![LA galbi and chili pork hot dishes at Kuu Kuu Nowon Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/nowon-sushi-buffet-mom-yellowtail-japchae/nowon-sushi-buffet-mom-yellowtail-japchae-10-1w9o5-900.webp) ![Chili pork and flower bun corner at Kuu Kuu Nowon Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/nowon-sushi-buffet-mom-yellowtail-japchae/nowon-sushi-buffet-mom-yellowtail-japchae-11-p0noh-900.webp) ### Steamed crab and grilled corn and salmon There was also a heaping pile of steamed crab for seafood lovers. Next to it, grilled dishes like grilled corn and grilled salmon were well stocked, so I think anyone who likes grilled food or crab will be happy! ![Steamed crab corner at Kuu Kuu Nowon Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/nowon-sushi-buffet-mom-yellowtail-japchae/nowon-sushi-buffet-mom-yellowtail-japchae-12-1ezvs-900.webp) ![Steamed crab and grilled dishes corner at Kuu Kuu Nowon Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/nowon-sushi-buffet-mom-yellowtail-japchae/nowon-sushi-buffet-mom-yellowtail-japchae-13-1y1bi-1200.webp) ![Grilled corn and grilled salmon at Kuu Kuu Nowon Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/nowon-sushi-buffet-mom-yellowtail-japchae/nowon-sushi-buffet-mom-yellowtail-japchae-14-qt1dk-900.webp) ![Hot dish corner menu at Kuu Kuu Nowon Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/nowon-sushi-buffet-mom-yellowtail-japchae/nowon-sushi-buffet-mom-yellowtail-japchae-15-r212i-900.webp) ## The sushi plates Mom and I brought back I went back and forth between the sushi corner and the hot dish corner several times, filling my plates. I brought back a whole plate of just salmon sushi and had a salmon party, and I liked being able to try all kinds of sushi, like beef sushi, eel sushi and monkfish liver gunkan (sushi with a seaweed wall). The sushi has no wasabi inside, so you can add as much as you like to suit your taste. ![Plate of sushi brought back from Kuu Kuu Nowon Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/nowon-sushi-buffet-mom-yellowtail-japchae/nowon-sushi-buffet-mom-yellowtail-japchae-16-uvdxe-900.webp) ![Table with salmon sushi and assorted sushi](https://img.superchart.com/images/nowon-sushi-buffet-mom-yellowtail-japchae/nowon-sushi-buffet-mom-yellowtail-japchae-17-nc6yn-900.webp) ## Finishing the meal: drinks and fruit At Kuu Kuu Nowon Branch, after you finish eating you can have tea time with a latte, coffee, drinks or tea. ![Drink and fruit corner at Kuu Kuu Nowon Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/nowon-sushi-buffet-mom-yellowtail-japchae/nowon-sushi-buffet-mom-yellowtail-japchae-18-1l9i7-900.webp) The fruit corner had a variety of fruit like dragon fruit, grapefruit, apple, melon and lychee, so I could wrap up the meal on a clean note. ## Is Kuu Kuu Nowon Branch okay with family who don't like sushi? Kuu Kuu Nowon Branch is a great Nowon spot for family get-togethers, and even if you go with someone who doesn't really like sushi, the hot food is so varied, with chicken, galbi, chili pork, pork ribs and more, that I think everyone can enjoy the meal together with smiles! ## Where it is - Kuu Kuu Nowon Branch (쿠우쿠우 노원점) - 247 Nowon-ro, Nowon-gu, Seoul, South Korea (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/@mapo-spoon-diary/nowon-sushi-buffet-mom-yellowtail-japchae/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
