Almost a football field. There are tons of tables too, but it’s so large that they’re really spread out. You absolutely cannot hear what the people at the next table are saying lol. ![Buffet interior with widely spaced tables](https://img.superchart.com/images/nowon-sushi-buffet-steamed-oyster/nowon-sushi-buffet-steamed-oyster-01-5316y-966.webp) ![Wide-open buffet seating area](https://img.superchart.com/images/nowon-sushi-buffet-steamed-oyster/nowon-sushi-buffet-steamed-oyster-02-8yljv-966.webp) It looked perfect for coming for a group meal too. Maybe because the scale is so huge, even when it was packed, the traffic flow never got tangled—a great Nowon spot for family gatherings. ![Spacious restaurant walkway for group dining](https://img.superchart.com/images/nowon-sushi-buffet-steamed-oyster/nowon-sushi-buffet-steamed-oyster-03-4tgf0-966.webp) ## Touring the food lineup with a plate in hand Time to grab a plate and head out.

There were meat dishes such as pork ribs for the meat lovers, plus the seriously showstopping encroûte soup, so just looking around took ages. ![Food station with pork ribs and encroûte soup](https://img.superchart.com/images/nowon-sushi-buffet-steamed-oyster/nowon-sushi-buffet-steamed-oyster-11-1gwjf-966.webp) ![Meat dishes and encroûte soup](https://img.superchart.com/images/nowon-sushi-buffet-steamed-oyster/nowon-sushi-buffet-steamed-oyster-12-1j2xg-966.webp) And that wasn’t all—there were loads of Chinese-style dishes too, including guobaorou (sweet-and-sour crispy pork), chili shrimp, and dongpo pork.

I had three plates, and I brought steamed oysters back on every single one. They’re tucked away at the end, so it felt like I was the only one taking them, but if you visit Kuu Kuu Nowon Branch, please. Please. Have the steamed oysters. They’re seriously delicious ㅠ ![Steamed oysters eaten across three plates](https://img.superchart.com/images/nowon-sushi-buffet-steamed-oyster/nowon-sushi-buffet-steamed-oyster-17-54bgf-966.webp) Aged-kimchi yukhoe rolls with sesame oil?

If you go to Kuu Kuu Nowon Branch, steamed oysters are mandatory, got it.... This is not something that should be left cooling off in a corner.
