True to being a large buffet, the menu is so varied that deciding what to eat becomes a happy struggle. 😍 ## My plate: kimchi fried rice and pork bulgogi What I picked was kimchi fried rice, tteokbokki, pork bulgogi, mung bean sprouts, chicken mandu, and gochu (shishito-style peppers). Everything felt made with real care — you could taste the homemade touch and the deep savory flavor was unmistakable. Getting to try so many dishes at once made it a genuinely satisfying meal 👍 And then, for dessert... ![Dessert corner with house-made sikhye](https://img.superchart.com/images/daedong-korean-buffet-yongin-kimchi-fried-rice/daedong-korean-buffet-yongin-kimchi-fried-rice-20-1xm19-900.webp) ![Cool sikhye served in a cup](https://img.superchart.com/images/daedong-korean-buffet-yongin-kimchi-fried-rice/daedong-korean-buffet-yongin-kimchi-fried-rice-21-110o6-900.webp) ![Sikhye enjoyed as a meal-ending drink](https://img.superchart.com/images/daedong-korean-buffet-yongin-kimchi-fried-rice/daedong-korean-buffet-yongin-kimchi-fried-rice-22-ux60w-900.webp) I finished off with house-made sikhye, which made it even sweeter. Honestly, I'm not usually a fan of sikhye, but this was so refreshing and delicious that I had it twice 😄 Being homemade, it had a clean, mellow sweetness on a completely different level from the sikhye you buy at the supermarket. I really recommend trying the sikhye here 👍 ## Final verdict on Daedong Korean Buffet & Dosirak ## Who Daedong Korean Buffet suits best I was surprised that Korean food made fresh daily could be this good value. With grocery prices so high these days, even eating at home adds up in food costs — I found myself thinking that if I lived nearby, I'd want to eat at Daedong Korean Buffet every day 😊 And because it's a buffet, it can suit all kinds of tastes, which also makes it a great choice for eating out with kids. If you're ever in the Cheoin-gu area of Yongin, I recommend Daedong Korean Buffet & Dosirak 👍 ## Where it is - Daedong Korean Buffet & Dosirak (대동한식뷔페&도시락) - 8 Jubuk-ro 94beon-gil, Yangji-eup, Cheoin-gu, Yongin-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea (1F) - 경기도 용인시 처인구 양지읍 주북로94번길 8 1층 - 37.2471295, 127.2426994 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%8C%80%EB%8F%99%ED%95%9C%EC%8B%9D%EB%B7%94%ED%8E%98%26%EB%8F%84%EC%8B%9C%EB%9D%BD/@37.2471295,127.2426994,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@yangpyeong-lantern-table/daedong-korean-buffet-yongin-kimchi-fried-rice/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
