The one near my neighborhood closed a while back, so I'd been really craving it haha. Sushi, sashimi, various meats, hot food, and desserts all in one place — here's my review of Kuu Kuu Nowon Branch! ## Where is Kuu Kuu Nowon Branch, and how do parking and corkage work? Kuu Kuu Nowon Branch is on the 6th floor of 247 Nowon-ro, Nowon-gu, Seoul, open daily from 11:00 to 21:30. You can park at the Seoul Oncheon Building parking lot, with up to 2 hours free when you eat there. Just keep in mind the lot can get crowded on weekends or holidays since it's a popular spot! - Address: 247 Nowon-ro, 6th floor, Nowon-gu, Seoul, South Korea - Hours: Daily 11:00–21:30 - Parking: Available (2 hours free) - Baby chairs available - Corkage: Available (₩10,000 per bottle) ## Inside the 300-pyeong hall: group tables and the kids' space There's a waiting area right at the front of Kuu Kuu Nowon Branch. Inside, it's clean and cozy with natural wood tones and white finishes. The space is huge with plenty of seating, and some areas are partitioned off for a more private feel. With over 300 pyeong of space including a dedicated group hall, it looked like a great spot for family meals as well as company dinners or gatherings — the group hall was actually in use during my visit. There's also a kids' space for anyone visiting with children! ![Kids' space at Kuu Kuu Nowon Branch for family visits](https://img.superchart.com/images/kuu-kuu-nowon-smoked-duck-lamb-corkage/kuu-kuu-nowon-smoked-duck-lamb-corkage-01-1h4zu-900.webp) Now for the fun part — the food! ![Overview of the buffet food corners at Kuu Kuu Nowon Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/kuu-kuu-nowon-smoked-duck-lamb-corkage/kuu-kuu-nowon-smoked-duck-lamb-corkage-02-i8gfa-900.webp) ![Buffet display corner at Kuu Kuu Nowon Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/kuu-kuu-nowon-smoked-duck-lamb-corkage/kuu-kuu-nowon-smoked-duck-lamb-corkage-03-5wrvt-900.webp) ![Sushi and sashimi display counter at Kuu Kuu Nowon Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/kuu-kuu-nowon-smoked-duck-lamb-corkage/kuu-kuu-nowon-smoked-duck-lamb-corkage-04-i4cqy-900.webp) ![Sushi buffet corner at Kuu Kuu Nowon Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/kuu-kuu-nowon-smoked-duck-lamb-corkage/kuu-kuu-nowon-smoked-duck-lamb-corkage-05-89j7z-1200.webp) ## Norwegian raw salmon sashimi, served only at the Nowon branch The menu that really caught my eye was the Norwegian raw salmon sashimi! Apparently it's not even offered at the Kuu Kuu Gold branch. Raw salmon sashimi is available for weekday dinner and on weekends and holidays, so keep that in mind when planning your visit. ![Norwegian raw salmon sashimi at Kuu Kuu Nowon Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/kuu-kuu-nowon-smoked-duck-lamb-corkage/kuu-kuu-nowon-smoked-duck-lamb-corkage-06-kglly-900.webp) ![Plate of thickly sliced raw salmon sashimi](https://img.superchart.com/images/kuu-kuu-nowon-smoked-duck-lamb-corkage/kuu-kuu-nowon-smoked-duck-lamb-corkage-07-115xw-900.webp) ![View of the raw salmon sashimi corner](https://img.superchart.com/images/kuu-kuu-nowon-smoked-duck-lamb-corkage/kuu-kuu-nowon-smoked-duck-lamb-corkage-08-l84nr-900.webp) ![Plate with salmon sashimi and sushi](https://img.superchart.com/images/kuu-kuu-nowon-smoked-duck-lamb-corkage/kuu-kuu-nowon-smoked-duck-lamb-corkage-09-14bgv-900.webp) ## Bigger flounder and salmon sushi, plus the new smoked duck Sushi is the whole point of Kuu Kuu, right? The flounder and salmon sushi have been upsized this time. The fish pieces are now bigger, so you really feel the presence of the fish with every bite. There are also plenty of meat options besides sushi. Smoked duck is a new addition, and since it was new I had to try it — it was tender and clean-tasting! ![New smoked duck menu item at Kuu Kuu Nowon Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/kuu-kuu-nowon-smoked-duck-lamb-corkage/kuu-kuu-nowon-smoked-duck-lamb-corkage-10-1hn84-900.webp) ### Cumin lamb chops, the other new menu item I tried lamb skewers once and they weren't for me, so I usually avoid lamb, but I was curious about the lamb chops haha. Since they're a new menu item too, I gave them a try! They were coated in cumin, and turned out tender and pretty good. Went great with beer haha. ![New cumin-coated lamb chops](https://img.superchart.com/images/kuu-kuu-nowon-smoked-duck-lamb-corkage/kuu-kuu-nowon-smoked-duck-lamb-corkage-11-kasm5-900.webp) ![Plate with lamb chops and other meats](https://img.superchart.com/images/kuu-kuu-nowon-smoked-duck-lamb-corkage/kuu-kuu-nowon-smoked-duck-lamb-corkage-12-1460d-900.webp) ![Meat corner at Kuu Kuu Nowon Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/kuu-kuu-nowon-smoked-duck-lamb-corkage/kuu-kuu-nowon-smoked-duck-lamb-corkage-13-1ceeb-900.webp) ![Plate filled with various meats](https://img.superchart.com/images/kuu-kuu-nowon-smoked-duck-lamb-corkage/kuu-kuu-nowon-smoked-duck-lamb-corkage-14-1kifb-900.webp) ## En croûte soup, pizza and fried dishes at Kuu Kuu Nowon Branch There's also en croute soup and pizza, plus various fried foods. ![En croute soup and pizza corner](https://img.superchart.com/images/kuu-kuu-nowon-smoked-duck-lamb-corkage/kuu-kuu-nowon-smoked-duck-lamb-corkage-15-1uo8h-900.webp) ![Fried hot food display](https://img.superchart.com/images/kuu-kuu-nowon-smoked-duck-lamb-corkage/kuu-kuu-nowon-smoked-duck-lamb-corkage-16-qslr7-900.webp) ![Plate of fried food and hot dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/kuu-kuu-nowon-smoked-duck-lamb-corkage/kuu-kuu-nowon-smoked-duck-lamb-corkage-17-1dllx-900.webp) ![Hot food corner at Kuu Kuu Nowon Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/kuu-kuu-nowon-smoked-duck-lamb-corkage/kuu-kuu-nowon-smoked-duck-lamb-corkage-18-1diu7-900.webp) They had waffles too, but I was way too full to try one haha. I sampled a little of everything and focused on what I liked most. Ended up eating a ton of salmon sashimi and sushi haha. The salmon sashimi is cut nice and thick, so it has a really satisfying chew. ## Write a receipt review, drink unlimited draft beer If you write a receipt review, you can enjoy unlimited draft beer for free — write one and take advantage! Both Terra and Kelly are available. ![Receipt review event for unlimited draft beer, Terra and Kelly](https://img.superchart.com/images/kuu-kuu-nowon-smoked-duck-lamb-corkage/kuu-kuu-nowon-smoked-duck-lamb-corkage-19-19mxl-900.webp) ![Draft beer poured into a glass](https://img.superchart.com/images/kuu-kuu-nowon-smoked-duck-lamb-corkage/kuu-kuu-nowon-smoked-duck-lamb-corkage-20-1u5j8-900.webp) ![Soda and herbal tea at the drinks corner](https://img.superchart.com/images/kuu-kuu-nowon-smoked-duck-lamb-corkage/kuu-kuu-nowon-smoked-duck-lamb-corkage-21-1lt4h-900.webp) Besides beer, there's a wide range of drinks like soda, herbal tea, and sikhye (sweet rice punch). Since there's rice involved, I got super full while eating. But I still couldn't give up sushi haha. ![Plate piled with sushi](https://img.superchart.com/images/kuu-kuu-nowon-smoked-duck-lamb-corkage/kuu-kuu-nowon-smoked-duck-lamb-corkage-22-1d33n-900.webp) ## Made-to-order jjamppong and the dessert corner There's a made-to-order menu too, and I went with jjamppong (spicy seafood noodle soup). It had quite a lot of seafood in it. Since it's a spicy broth, it actually paired really well with sushi. ![Bowl of made-to-order jjamppong](https://img.superchart.com/images/kuu-kuu-nowon-smoked-duck-lamb-corkage/kuu-kuu-nowon-smoked-duck-lamb-corkage-23-11lng-900.webp) ![Spicy jjamppong broth loaded with seafood](https://img.superchart.com/images/kuu-kuu-nowon-smoked-duck-lamb-corkage/kuu-kuu-nowon-smoked-duck-lamb-corkage-24-ew63n-900.webp) A buffet always ends with dessert. There's bead ice cream that kids love — the milk chocolate flavor was delicious. Even though I was full, I still tried a bit of chocolate fondue. Plenty of dessert options kids would enjoy. There's also a good variety of fruit. I ate a ton of pineapple to help digest everything haha. It had been a while since I'd visited Kuu Kuu, and I ate until I nearly burst. The space is especially spacious and clean, making it great for family meals as well as group gatherings or company dinners! If you're looking for a buffet in Nowon where you can enjoy sushi and all kinds of food in one place, stop by Kuu Kuu Nowon Branch, a well-loved Nowon spot :) ## Where it is - Kuu Kuu Nowon Branch (쿠우쿠우 노원점) - 247 Nowon-ro, 6th floor, Nowon-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 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/@osan-back-kitchen-2/kuu-kuu-nowon-smoked-duck-lamb-corkage/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
