We especially love seafood, so we go to Kuu Kuu often! Kuu Kuu Nowon Branch is suuuuper spacious, has a huge variety of food, and is always stocked with hot dishes, so we have been enjoying it very happily. It is within walking distance of Hagye Station on Subway Line 7! It is in the Seoul Oncheon building that all the local residents know! ![Exterior of the Seoul Oncheon building near Hagye Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/hagye-buffet-weekend-fruit-coucou/hagye-buffet-weekend-fruit-coucou-01-1faiy-966.webp) Parking in the building is free for 2 hours, but the building also has a wedding hall, so it can be busy on weekends and public holidays. I recommend public transportation! If the building parking lot is full, you need to use a nearby paid parking lot separately. Mon–Fri 11:00–21:30, Sat–Sun 11:00–22:00. ![Kuu Kuu Nowon Branch store information](https://img.superchart.com/images/hagye-buffet-weekend-fruit-coucou/hagye-buffet-weekend-fruit-coucou-02-9znmg-1200.webp) ## Kuu Kuu Nowon Branch prices and dining time First, the prices!

We arrived at 11:30 AM on Sunday, not long after opening, and could go straight in with no wait. It was full by the time we left, but there still was not a queue. The wood-and-white interior feels bright and comfortable! It is incredibly spacious at over 300 pyeong. The interior is divided into various areas, so groups of up to 50, 80, or 300 people can use separate spaces almost like a private rental. Such an appealing feature for family gatherings! Since there are lots of families, there was also a play area for little ones. ![Spacious interior at Kuu Kuu Nowon Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/hagye-buffet-weekend-fruit-coucou/hagye-buffet-weekend-fruit-coucou-04-f5ci5-926.webp) ![Private dining area at Kuu Kuu Nowon Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/hagye-buffet-weekend-fruit-coucou/hagye-buffet-weekend-fruit-coucou-05-15h52-966.webp) ![Family gathering space at Kuu Kuu Nowon Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/hagye-buffet-weekend-fruit-coucou/hagye-buffet-weekend-fruit-coucou-06-93pr7-966.webp) ![Children's play area at Kuu Kuu Nowon Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/hagye-buffet-weekend-fruit-coucou/hagye-buffet-weekend-fruit-coucou-07-vxwsn-966.webp) ## From sushi to hot dishes Time to really start eating. I always make my first round through the sushi, rolls, and gunkan sushi (battleship-style sushi) section. Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha. The fish portions on the flounder and salmon sushi are bigger than before, so they are thick and fill your mouth. Flounder and salmon sushi are my personal favorites, so I was very happy about that! The shrimp sushi also uses botan shrimp, giving it an even better shrimp flavor. ![Sushi and roll section](https://img.superchart.com/images/hagye-buffet-weekend-fruit-coucou/hagye-buffet-weekend-fruit-coucou-08-10lof-966.webp) ![Flounder and salmon sushi](https://img.superchart.com/images/hagye-buffet-weekend-fruit-coucou/hagye-buffet-weekend-fruit-coucou-09-w5sxh-966.webp) ![Shrimp sushi made with botan shrimp](https://img.superchart.com/images/hagye-buffet-weekend-fruit-coucou/hagye-buffet-weekend-fruit-coucou-10-ru9to-966.webp) ![Sushi and gunkan sushi selection](https://img.superchart.com/images/hagye-buffet-weekend-fruit-coucou/hagye-buffet-weekend-fruit-coucou-11-1ivyt-966.webp) There are lots of choices in the hot-food section too, and since I like mala, I really enjoyed the mala shrimp. ![Mala shrimp in the hot-food section](https://img.superchart.com/images/hagye-buffet-weekend-fruit-coucou/hagye-buffet-weekend-fruit-coucou-12-1wc6u-966.webp) ![Various hot-food dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/hagye-buffet-weekend-fruit-coucou/hagye-buffet-weekend-fruit-coucou-13-zfu2a-966.webp) ### Fresh salmon sashimi for dinner and weekends Fresh salmon sashimi has been added too, but it is only available at weekday dinner and on weekends and public holidays. Rather than weekday lunch, I absolutely recommend visiting for dinner, a weekend, or a public holiday and trying the fresh salmon!!!!!!! It is Norwegian fresh salmon sashimi that is not even available at Kuu Kuu Gold branches, so five stars from me!!!!! ★★★★★ ![Fresh salmon sashimi for weekends and dinner](https://img.superchart.com/images/hagye-buffet-weekend-fruit-coucou/hagye-buffet-weekend-fruit-coucou-14-1nteg-966.webp) ![Norwegian fresh salmon sashimi](https://img.superchart.com/images/hagye-buffet-weekend-fruit-coucou/hagye-buffet-weekend-fruit-coucou-15-12bx5-966.webp) The smoked duck has a pleasantly chewy texture and is a weekday dinner, weekend, and public-holiday item; my 17-month-old little one ate so much of it. Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. The lamb chops have a tender texture and are available all day! ![Smoked duck for weekday dinner and weekends](https://img.superchart.com/images/hagye-buffet-weekend-fruit-coucou/hagye-buffet-weekend-fruit-coucou-16-mwqjh-966.webp) ![All-day lamb chops](https://img.superchart.com/images/hagye-buffet-weekend-fruit-coucou/hagye-buffet-weekend-fruit-coucou-17-hm3mi-966.webp) ![Smoked duck and lamb chop selection](https://img.superchart.com/images/hagye-buffet-weekend-fruit-coucou/hagye-buffet-weekend-fruit-coucou-18-1pb4v-966.webp) ![Buffet meat section](https://img.superchart.com/images/hagye-buffet-weekend-fruit-coucou/hagye-buffet-weekend-fruit-coucou-19-1xqpa-966.webp) There are various drinks ready too, so pick whatever suits your taste! ![Selection of various drinks](https://img.superchart.com/images/hagye-buffet-weekend-fruit-coucou/hagye-buffet-weekend-fruit-coucou-20-g0tbp-966.webp) ## Waffles, fruit, and ice cream too The desserts are incredibly varied too, and I was so happy that I could dip freshly made warm, crisp waffles straight into the chocolate fondue. ![Chocolate fondue and warm waffle dessert](https://img.superchart.com/images/hagye-buffet-weekend-fruit-coucou/hagye-buffet-weekend-fruit-coucou-21-1g79j-966.webp) Korean melon, melon, mango, banana, pineapple, orange, grapefruit, watermelon, apple. The fruit selection alone is enormous........... This was the section my 17-month-old little one absolutely demolished! We could fill up on all kinds of fruit that are difficult to prepare at home. ![Section with many varieties of fruit](https://img.superchart.com/images/hagye-buffet-weekend-fruit-coucou/hagye-buffet-weekend-fruit-coucou-22-1gq79-966.webp) There are so many kinds of cake, tteok (Korean rice cake), and pudding that there is definitely something for every taste!! ![Dessert section with cake, tteok, and pudding](https://img.superchart.com/images/hagye-buffet-weekend-fruit-coucou/hagye-buffet-weekend-fruit-coucou-23-mkcrp-966.webp) Personally, the little bead ice cream was something I had not been able to try on previous lunch visits!!!!!!!! We visited on a weekend this time, but it is now available at weekday lunch too, so you can enjoy the bead ice cream then as well. ![Bead ice cream also available at weekday lunch](https://img.superchart.com/images/hagye-buffet-weekend-fruit-coucou/hagye-buffet-weekend-fruit-coucou-24-nul8d-966.webp) Kuu Kuu Nowon Branch has unlimited real draft Terra and Kelly beer, not Filite! Is that not such an amazing deal!!!!!!!!!!! Once again, we left Kuu Kuu Nowon Branch very satisfied! ## Where it is - Kuu Kuu Nowon Branch (쿠우쿠우 노원점) (쿠우쿠우 노원점) - 247 Nowon-ro, 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/@seoul-paper-cup/hagye-buffet-weekend-fruit-coucou/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
