Visiting for weekend lunch with her partner, the writer waited for a table for the first time, then worked through the new raw salmon, amberjack and tuna belly sushi, lamb chops and pork ribs from the hot grill, salads and desserts. With family groups everywhere and a huge menu range, it's a place with something for everyone. ## Good to know - **Address**: 247 Nowon-ro, 6th floor, Nowon-gu, Seoul - **Hours**: Mon–Fri 11:00–21:30 / Sat–Sun 11:00–22:00 - **Parking**: Available, 2 hours free - **Amenities**: Corkage (paid), birthday perks, kids' chairs, kids' facilities, wheelchair accessible - **Pricing**: Weekday lunch, dinner, and weekend prices differ - **Perk**: Free unlimited draft beer (worth ₩5,900) with a Naver receipt review *as written by the visitor on Sep 9, 2026* ![Kuu Kuu Nowon Branch featured image](https://img.superchart.com/images/kuu-kuu-nowon-weekend-lunch-waiting/kuu-kuu-nowon-weekend-lunch-waiting-01-1qhpk-1200.webp) > Kuu Kuu Nowon Branch Address | 247 Nowon-ro, 6th floor, Nowon-gu, Seoul Hours | Mon–Fri 11:00–21:30, Sat–Sun 11:00–22:00 Parking | Available, 2 hours free Amenities | Corkage (paid), birthday perks, kids' chairs, kids' facilities, wheelchair accessible ## First-time waiting at Kuu Kuu Nowon Branch on a weekend lunch I visit Kuu Kuu Nowon Branch regularly. With our wedding photoshoot finally done, I let loose a bit and went for a hearty meal with my partner. We came during weekend lunch hours. The building also has a wedding hall and a church, so it gets seriously crowded at peak times — be warned!! Since we come often, we're used to it by now. Kuu Kuu Nowon Branch prices differ between weekday lunch, dinner, and weekend. I'd never had to wait before, but this time was the first. True to its reputation as a family-gathering spot in Nowon, there were definitely a lot of family groups. ![Kuu Kuu Nowon Branch weekend lunch dining room view](https://img.superchart.com/images/kuu-kuu-nowon-weekend-lunch-waiting/kuu-kuu-nowon-weekend-lunch-waiting-02-8p79v-900.webp) ![Inside the sushi buffet with many family diners](https://img.superchart.com/images/kuu-kuu-nowon-weekend-lunch-waiting/kuu-kuu-nowon-weekend-lunch-waiting-03-1ai0e-900.webp) ![Full view of Kuu Kuu Nowon Branch buffet corners](https://img.superchart.com/images/kuu-kuu-nowon-weekend-lunch-waiting/kuu-kuu-nowon-weekend-lunch-waiting-04-12k9d-900.webp) ![Plates laid out at the sushi buffet counter](https://img.superchart.com/images/kuu-kuu-nowon-weekend-lunch-waiting/kuu-kuu-nowon-weekend-lunch-waiting-05-3ym8c-900.webp) ![Sign for the buffet corner at Kuu Kuu Nowon Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/kuu-kuu-nowon-weekend-lunch-waiting/kuu-kuu-nowon-weekend-lunch-waiting-06-tt41m-900.webp) ![Menu items displayed at the sushi buffet corner](https://img.superchart.com/images/kuu-kuu-nowon-weekend-lunch-waiting/kuu-kuu-nowon-weekend-lunch-waiting-07-13yc6-900.webp) ![Plates at the Kuu Kuu Nowon Branch sushi corner](https://img.superchart.com/images/kuu-kuu-nowon-weekend-lunch-waiting/kuu-kuu-nowon-weekend-lunch-waiting-08-10fy3-900.webp) ![Raw fish sushi and rolls displayed at the counter](https://img.superchart.com/images/kuu-kuu-nowon-weekend-lunch-waiting/kuu-kuu-nowon-weekend-lunch-waiting-09-1d1y7-900.webp) ![Gunkan and fusion sushi on display](https://img.superchart.com/images/kuu-kuu-nowon-weekend-lunch-waiting/kuu-kuu-nowon-weekend-lunch-waiting-10-1sboh-900.webp) ![New raw salmon sushi corner](https://img.superchart.com/images/kuu-kuu-nowon-weekend-lunch-waiting/kuu-kuu-nowon-weekend-lunch-waiting-11-amm4u-900.webp) ![Amberjack and tuna belly sushi on display](https://img.superchart.com/images/kuu-kuu-nowon-weekend-lunch-waiting/kuu-kuu-nowon-weekend-lunch-waiting-12-6nbu9-900.webp) ![Close-up of the Kuu Kuu Nowon Branch sushi display](https://img.superchart.com/images/kuu-kuu-nowon-weekend-lunch-waiting/kuu-kuu-nowon-weekend-lunch-waiting-13-txr2g-900.webp) ![A corner with many varieties of sushi](https://img.superchart.com/images/kuu-kuu-nowon-weekend-lunch-waiting/kuu-kuu-nowon-weekend-lunch-waiting-14-cr4ao-900.webp) ## The sushi corner — raw salmon, amberjack, tuna belly The sushi corner is what I always look forward to most at Kuu Kuu. This time they had the new raw salmon along with premium cuts like amberjack and tuna belly, all properly stocked — my eyes went wide. The lineup of pricier, high-end seafood was so solid I was 100% satisfied. Beyond fresh raw fish sushi, there's an incredible variety of rolls, gunkan, and fusion sushi, so people who aren't great with raw fish, or even young kids, can all enjoy it to their taste — a certified family-gathering spot in Nowon. ![Pork ribs and lamb chops at the hot grill corner](https://img.superchart.com/images/kuu-kuu-nowon-weekend-lunch-waiting/kuu-kuu-nowon-weekend-lunch-waiting-15-12qkz-900.webp) ![Freshly baked pizza and pasta](https://img.superchart.com/images/kuu-kuu-nowon-weekend-lunch-waiting/kuu-kuu-nowon-weekend-lunch-waiting-16-k5x8t-900.webp) ![Barbecue dishes at the hot grill corner](https://img.superchart.com/images/kuu-kuu-nowon-weekend-lunch-waiting/kuu-kuu-nowon-weekend-lunch-waiting-17-mvzuu-900.webp) ![Vegetables and toppings at the salad corner](https://img.superchart.com/images/kuu-kuu-nowon-weekend-lunch-waiting/kuu-kuu-nowon-weekend-lunch-waiting-18-jmf8f-900.webp) ## The hot grill corner and salad corner The hot grill corner was just as flashy as the sushi. There are tender pork ribs that are fun to pull apart, lamb chops with their distinctive flavor intact, and hot pizza and pasta straight off the grill. With high-quality Japanese, Western, and barbecue dishes all in one place, even people who aren't into sushi should be fully satisfied here. Salad is usually something you breeze past at a buffet, but here the speed of restocking and the freshness of the vegetables are next level. From mushroom, yukhoe (raw beef), and imitation crab salads to spicy jjolmyeon noodles, there's such a wide range of toppings and dressings that it's fun to pick and choose. It did a great job refreshing the palate in between the heavy sushi and meat. ![Drinks corner with soft drinks and slushies](https://img.superchart.com/images/kuu-kuu-nowon-weekend-lunch-waiting/kuu-kuu-nowon-weekend-lunch-waiting-19-1hesg-900.webp) ## Drinks and the unlimited draft beer perk The drinks lineup, from soft drinks to teas and slushies, was just right for cleansing the palate. But the tip you absolutely cannot miss is the unlimited draft beer perk. Not some knockoff — real Terra and Kelly draft beer, free (normally worth ₩5,900) just for writing a review. ![Unlimited Terra and Kelly draft beer corner](https://img.superchart.com/images/kuu-kuu-nowon-weekend-lunch-waiting/kuu-kuu-nowon-weekend-lunch-waiting-20-1dpcy-900.webp) ![A glass of draft beer on the buffet table](https://img.superchart.com/images/kuu-kuu-nowon-weekend-lunch-waiting/kuu-kuu-nowon-weekend-lunch-waiting-21-1a58w-900.webp) ## The dessert corner — marble ice cream now available at weekday lunch too The dessert corner brought the meal to a perfect close. There's everything from fresh seasonal fruit to sweet cakes and bakery items. What made me happiest of all was the marble ice cream. It used to only be offered at weekday dinner or on weekends, but now the system's changed so you can enjoy it at weekday lunch too. ![Dessert corner with cakes and seasonal fruit](https://img.superchart.com/images/kuu-kuu-nowon-weekend-lunch-waiting/kuu-kuu-nowon-weekend-lunch-waiting-22-qmxl9-900.webp) ![Dessert corner with marble ice cream](https://img.superchart.com/images/kuu-kuu-nowon-weekend-lunch-waiting/kuu-kuu-nowon-weekend-lunch-waiting-23-1ei6c-900.webp) ## From the first plate to the last We went hard from the first plate to the last. It started cleanly with fresh raw salmon, amberjack, and tuna belly sushi, then filled us up solidly with juicy lamb chops and pork ribs from the hot grill corner. From Japanese to Western to barbecue, it felt like we really got our money's worth all in one spot. With such a wide variety of dishes, we never got tired of it and kept trying new combinations. ![A plate of sushi and lamb chops](https://img.superchart.com/images/kuu-kuu-nowon-weekend-lunch-waiting/kuu-kuu-nowon-weekend-lunch-waiting-24-1k41r-900.webp) Even full, there's always room for dessert. We grabbed sweet slices of cake, fresh seasonal fruit, and tangy yogurt to finish things off. From sushi to hot grill to dessert, nothing was lacking — this was a satisfying visit to Kuu Kuu Nowon Branch, a great spot for family gatherings in Nowon. The place is spacious and the menu so full that it's easy for anyone, of any age or preference, to enjoy. By the way, if you're planning to visit, I definitely recommend joining the receipt review event! Writing a Naver review gets you unlimited real draft beer worth a whopping ₩5,900 for free, so make sure to pair your delicious food with a cold beer while you're at it. ## 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/@weekday-banchan-tray/kuu-kuu-nowon-weekend-lunch-waiting/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
