Even on our first visit, we found it without difficulty. ## What is included in the ₩29,800 lunch? At the time of our visit, the hotel buffet lunch was ₩29,800. I liked that, for under ₩30,000, we could have both buffet dishes and a main dish. ![Buffet lunch information at Hotel Kukdo Patio](https://img.superchart.com/images/patio-euljiro-hotel-buffet-lunch/patio-euljiro-hotel-buffet-lunch-04-2swa3-900.webp) ![Lunch meal selection at Hotel Kukdo Patio](https://img.superchart.com/images/patio-euljiro-hotel-buffet-lunch/patio-euljiro-hotel-buffet-lunch-05-1hzli-900.webp) For the main dish, we could choose between flat iron steak and seafood tomato pasta. We chose the flat iron steak. ## What dishes are on the Asian buffet? The buffet focused on Asian dishes. There were several options, including grilled eel and chicken karaage (Japanese-style fried chicken). ![Asian buffet dishes at Hotel Kukdo Patio](https://img.superchart.com/images/patio-euljiro-hotel-buffet-lunch/patio-euljiro-hotel-buffet-lunch-06-bwnck-900.webp) ![Buffet dishes prepared at Hotel Kukdo Patio](https://img.superchart.com/images/patio-euljiro-hotel-buffet-lunch/patio-euljiro-hotel-buffet-lunch-07-1yvm4-900.webp) ![Asian dish selection at Hotel Kukdo Patio](https://img.superchart.com/images/patio-euljiro-hotel-buffet-lunch/patio-euljiro-hotel-buffet-lunch-08-ug94x-900.webp) There was also stir-fried abalone and shrimp, along with stir-fried udon noodles. ![Seafood dishes on the Hotel Kukdo Patio buffet](https://img.superchart.com/images/patio-euljiro-hotel-buffet-lunch/patio-euljiro-hotel-buffet-lunch-09-vadtp-900.webp) ![Stir-fried dishes on the Hotel Kukdo Patio buffet](https://img.superchart.com/images/patio-euljiro-hotel-buffet-lunch/patio-euljiro-hotel-buffet-lunch-10-1tajz-900.webp) ![Various buffet dishes at Hotel Kukdo Patio](https://img.superchart.com/images/patio-euljiro-hotel-buffet-lunch/patio-euljiro-hotel-buffet-lunch-11-1ch7o-900.webp) ![Lunch buffet food selection at Hotel Kukdo Patio](https://img.superchart.com/images/patio-euljiro-hotel-buffet-lunch/patio-euljiro-hotel-buffet-lunch-12-kitt4-900.webp) Salad and fruit were available too. It was not the kind of buffet with a huge number of dishes, but it was nice for choosing what we wanted and tasting small portions. ![Salad and fruit selection at Hotel Kukdo Patio](https://img.superchart.com/images/patio-euljiro-hotel-buffet-lunch/patio-euljiro-hotel-buffet-lunch-13-1yvjd-900.webp) ![Food prepared on the Hotel Kukdo Patio buffet](https://img.superchart.com/images/patio-euljiro-hotel-buffet-lunch/patio-euljiro-hotel-buffet-lunch-14-1pf22-900.webp) We also took a little of this and that and shared it. I wished I could eat more than I was able to, because I wanted to try more. ## How was the flat iron steak we chose as our main? The main dish was brought directly to our table. The flat iron steak that arrived shortly afterward looked good too. ![Flat iron steak served at Hotel Kukdo Patio](https://img.superchart.com/images/patio-euljiro-hotel-buffet-lunch/patio-euljiro-hotel-buffet-lunch-15-fio12-900.webp) The meat cut easily and was tender, and it tasted good with the gravy. I was satisfied with having steak alongside the buffet dishes. ![Flat iron steak with gravy](https://img.superchart.com/images/patio-euljiro-hotel-buffet-lunch/patio-euljiro-hotel-buffet-lunch-16-33ygg-900.webp) ## What drinks are available with the meal? I noticed that iced matcha and sake were available. The matcha I had was unsweetened and pleasantly bitter, with a fairly strong flavor. ![Iced matcha enjoyed at Hotel Kukdo Patio](https://img.superchart.com/images/patio-euljiro-hotel-buffet-lunch/patio-euljiro-hotel-buffet-lunch-17-5mazz-900.webp) There was also coffee, tea, and juice. After finishing our meal, we made sure to have dessert as well. ![Drink selection at the Hotel Kukdo Patio buffet](https://img.superchart.com/images/patio-euljiro-hotel-buffet-lunch/patio-euljiro-hotel-buffet-lunch-18-17qkv-900.webp) ![After-meal drinks and dessert at Hotel Kukdo Patio](https://img.superchart.com/images/patio-euljiro-hotel-buffet-lunch/patio-euljiro-hotel-buffet-lunch-19-rz87k-900.webp) ## Is it a good setting for a relaxed lunch for two? The interior was more spacious than I expected and neatly arranged. The large windows made the whole room bright and not at all stuffy. We were lucky to sit by the window and took our time eating while we talked. ![Lunch enjoyed at Hotel Kukdo Patio](https://img.superchart.com/images/patio-euljiro-hotel-buffet-lunch/patio-euljiro-hotel-buffet-lunch-20-hnyvm-900.webp) ![A moment from a Hotel Kukdo Patio lunch visit](https://img.superchart.com/images/patio-euljiro-hotel-buffet-lunch/patio-euljiro-hotel-buffet-lunch-21-eookh-900.webp) ![Hotel Kukdo Patio lunch visit in Euljiro 4-ga](https://img.superchart.com/images/patio-euljiro-hotel-buffet-lunch/patio-euljiro-hotel-buffet-lunch-22-2vgeo-900.webp) It was a decent place for my husband and me to make a lunch date. The buffet did not have a large selection, but we spent a relaxed time sampling a little of several dishes and having a main dish too. ![Lunch shared at Hotel Kukdo Patio](https://img.superchart.com/images/patio-euljiro-hotel-buffet-lunch/patio-euljiro-hotel-buffet-lunch-23-ckfqp-900.webp) ![A relaxed lunch visit at Hotel Kukdo Patio](https://img.superchart.com/images/patio-euljiro-hotel-buffet-lunch/patio-euljiro-hotel-buffet-lunch-24-1xqlu-900.webp) ## Where it is - Hotel Kukdo Patio (호텔국도 파티오) - 2F, 164 Eulji-ro, Jung-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 중구 을지로 164 2층 - 37.566316, 126.9962457 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%ED%98%B8%ED%85%94%EA%B5%AD%EB%8F%84%20%ED%8C%8C%ED%8B%B0%EC%98%A4/@37.566316,126.9962457,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@water-pitcher-2/patio-euljiro-hotel-buffet-lunch/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
