## In short

Kuu Kuu Nowon Branch is a sushi and seafood buffet on the 6th floor of a building about 800m from Exit 2 of Hagye Station in Nowon, Seoul. Weekday dinner after 5pm costs 31,900 won, so two people ate for around 60,000 won, working through Norwegian raw salmon sashimi, botan shrimp sushi, the new lamb chops and smoked duck, and made-to-order cold buckwheat noodles. Pairing zolmyeon (spicy chewy noodles) with salmon sashimi was the unexpected find, and at 300 pyeong Kuu Kuu Nowon has room to spare for group and family gatherings.

*as written by the visitor on Sep 15, 2026*

Today I visited Kuu Kuu Nowon Branch, which I'd recommend as a spot for gatherings or work dinners in Nowon. Even though it's called the Nowon branch, it's actually closer to Hagye Station than Nowon Station, so the streets were less crowded and the trip felt pretty easy.

## Where is Kuu Kuu Nowon Branch, and how do parking and time limits work?

Kuu Kuu Nowon Branch is on the 6th floor of a building at 247 Nowon-ro, Nowon-gu, Seoul. Walk about 800m from Exit 2 of Hagye Station and you'll spot the Kuu Kuu building — head up to the 6th floor and there it is!

- Address: 247 Nowon-ro, 6th floor, Nowon-gu, Seoul, South Korea
- Hours: Mon–Fri 11:00–21:30 (last order 20:00) / Sat–Sun 11:00–22:00 (last order 20:30)
- Time limit: 2 hours standard, 1.5 hours if guests are waiting

If you're driving instead of walking, there's a parking lot behind the building. Parking is free for up to 2 hours.

When you walk in, staff seat you right away. I personally love window seats, so I was happy they gave us one.

Since it's a buffet, I paid extra attention to cleanliness — and sure enough, everything was tidy and well organized.

## Weekday dinner at 31,900 won: what two people paid

Prices at Kuu Kuu Nowon Branch were: weekday lunch (before 5pm) ₩27,900, weekday dinner (after 5pm) ₩31,900, and weekend/holiday ₩35,900. I came for weekday dinner this time, and the two of us had a great meal for around ₩60,000 combined.

The entrance already gave off a clean, well-arranged vibe. I thought a work dinner or gathering here would feel really lively.

There's even unlimited draft beer available — and Kuu Kuu Nowon runs Terra and Kelly on tap instead of Filite, so you get a smoother draft beer experience. Add just ₩5,900 for unlimited beer, so if you're a drinker, this is a must-order! I heard you can also get it free if you write a review, so it's worth asking at the counter.

## What's at the stations, from salads to fried food, pizza and pasta

Kuu Kuu Nowon Branch lets you build your own salad from various toppings and dressings — great! And of course Kuu Kuu is famous for its sushi buffet. The friend I came with loves sushi and salmon sashimi and said she ate so well ^^

All kinds of fried foods, pizza, pasta, and various noodle dishes were served piping hot too, which felt like really good value.

## 300 pyeong of seating for groups and family gatherings

One of the standout features of Kuu Kuu Nowon is its bright, comfortable atmosphere, which is why a lot of families visit. With over 300 pyeong of space, it's great for group outings. It's so spacious that the sense of openness is amazing! There were also rooms — group seating that fits 40 to 60 people, and full venue rental available for up to 300.

There were dishes made with fresh vegetables, plus trendy items like chili shrimp and mala shrimp, which surprised me.

You can't skip the soup en croute. I don't usually eat this at buffets, but people who like it always grab a bowl.

I love noodle dishes, so I was looking forward to the pasta — there was oil vongole pasta and snow crab pasta. I expected just plain tomato and cream pasta, so I was happy to see new varieties.

Smoked duck and lamb skewers were apparently newly launched, and they looked amazing! Everything was glistening. And beyond regular sushi, there was a huge variety of California rolls too.

## Drink corner at Kuu Kuu Nowon: ube latte, plum juice, papaya slushie

The drinks at Kuu Kuu Nowon were varied too — the trendy ube latte, plus digestion-friendly plum juice.

There was also the slushie I used to eat a lot as a kid haha, total nostalgia. I loved papaya slushie back in the day, and it's perfect as a palate cleanser. There was even sikhye (sweet rice drink), so Kuu Kuu Nowon takes care of older guests' tastes too.

Right behind the sushi station were soy sauce, chojang (vinegar chili sauce), and fresh wasabi, which made the flow really convenient.

## Norwegian raw salmon sashimi: weekday dinner and weekends only

Here's my friend's first plate haha. She said if you're at Kuu Kuu, the first plate has to be sushi~ And Kuu Kuu Nowon just launched raw salmon sashimi! This Norwegian raw salmon sashimi isn't even available at the Kuu Kuu Gold branch, apparently. The color alone was insane. This is only available for weekday dinner, weekends, and holidays, so avoid weekday lunch if you want to try it.

They also increased the fish size on the flounder sushi and salmon sushi so each bite feels fuller, and honestly the visuals were so generous and pretty.

The raw shrimp sushi uses botan shrimp now, and the crunchy-yet-tender flavor really came through. It had a nice sweetness too, and the quality was excellent. Sushi and sashimi lovers should get to Kuu Kuu Nowon ASAP.

## Made-to-order cooking station and the herbal tea zone

There's a made-to-order station too, with jjajangmyeon, jjamppong, udon, miso soup, and cold soba ready to go. I asked for the cold soba and they made it fast. Since it's a buffet, the noodles were a bit soft, but the flavor itself was excellent.

If you don't want to fill up on heavy drinks, try the Kuu Kuu premium herbal tea zone. Or have a cup at the end of the meal to warm your stomach — that works well too.

The Kuu Kuu marble ice cream used to be limited to weekday dinner and weekends, but now it's available at weekday lunch too! A lot of people feel like they must have the marble ice cream every time they visit Kuu Kuu, right? I really liked this upgrade.

All kinds of fruits and desserts were laid out too. Don't miss it — great as a palate cleanser!

## My own plate: lamb chops, smoked duck and zolmyeon with salmon sashimi

Here's my plating haha. I piled on the new lamb skewers and smoked duck I mentioned earlier — the lamb was evenly dusted with cumin powder, and it was so tender and savory. The smoked duck was, well, unbelievably soft. It's the kind of flavor kids love too, so families visiting would probably enjoy this dish a lot!

The raw shrimp sushi and raw salmon sashimi were amazing^^ But surprisingly, the zolmyeon (spicy chewy cold noodles) I hadn't expected much from turned out to be so good. It's cool and spicy-sweet, and pairs really well with salmon, so definitely try the zolmyeon + salmon sashimi combo.

There was also mala tang, so I grabbed some — it tasted like yukgaejang (spicy beef soup) with a little mala kick added, totally Koreanized haha. Still, it had wood ear mushroom, tofu skin, and bok choy in it, so the composition was solid.

I also had the papaya slushie as a little break — crisp, refreshing, and tasty. Total bbongtta (popsicle) flavor.

And of course, the Kuu Kuu waffle — a must. Paired with whipped cream and the chocolate fountain, it was crispy and so delicious.

![Dessert plate with marble ice cream and espresso](https://img.superchart.com/images/kuukuu-nowon-weekday-dinner-sashimi/kuukuu-nowon-weekday-dinner-sashimi-24-1w8u6-900.webp)

The marble ice cream was, as expected, delicious, and I had it with espresso and milk — went really well with the snacks and waffle.

## Verdict: which day is best for Kuu Kuu Nowon?

There was so much food at Kuu Kuu Nowon Branch that it was hard to choose. Great for group visits, and I'd recommend it for a trip with friends too!! If you're craving a wide variety of food, this place comes highly recommended.
