Weekend price and seating at Kuu Kuu Nowon Branch

Here's the price! I visited on a weekend so I paid 35,900 won ☺️

As always, my favorite thing about Kuu Kuu — the seating is comfortable and roomy. Even when it's packed, this place always manages to feel clean with generous space between tables 🫶

The LA galbi added in the renewal

I heard they renewed the menu and now they have LA galbi (LA-style short ribs) 🫢🫢🫢🫢 It was genuinely delicious, I ate a ton of it..🤎 Is there really any other 30,000-won-range buffet with LA galbi? I don't think so ❤️

Chinese dishes and the pumpkin porridge I love most

The Chinese food line was delicious! Kkanpung shrimp, mala shrimp, lemon cream shrimp, guobaorou — all of it was amazing 🤩

And my favorite item, pumpkin porridge..💛💛💛 I always eat this first the moment I get there, it's seriously incredible 🤩

Made-to-order jjajang, jjamppong, udon and buckwheat noodles

Jjajang, jjamppong, udon, and memil noodles made fresh to order!! Great with the fried items too 👍 Kuu Kuu is also good at Korean street food haha

The pizza had a generous layer of cheese and was really good eaten warm ❤️🔥❤️🔥 Not pictured, but the spaghetti was also great haha. The fried rice and other dishes were seasoned just right too!

Soup en croute and the bakery corner

The ankurte soup was so good ㅠㅠ The bakery bread itself was so chewy and moist..❤️ Dipping it in the soup is the best 👍👍

Do the trays get refilled fast at weekend lunch?

Even during a packed weekend lunch, the staff refilled dishes the moment they started running low!! 👏👏 Right after I took this photo, everything had already been refilled haha. The steamed crab and shrimp were both delicious!

What sushi and rolls are on offer?

You all already know about the sushi variety, right? No need to say more — this is the best sushi for the price, hands down 👍

The rolls were also super varied!! From California rolls to shrimp rolls to fried tofu rolls, I tried one of each and every single one was delicious 🤗 The downside is you fill up fast..👀

I mostly focused on sushi like this, but I also ate a lot of the LA galbi and other meat — I just couldn't take a photo of everything 😅 (too busy eating…)

Some of the dishes I enjoyed most! Ankurte soup, sweet pumpkin soup 💛💛💛💛💛

Food party desserts and unlimited marble ice cream

There were so many types of cake, plus pudding, jelly, and macarons — too many to finish ㅠㅠ Finishing with a cup of coffee made it the perfect ending 🥰

Even the marble ice cream is unlimited refill… that's basically an unfair advantage, right?! 🫢🤩🤩

On top of that, the regular ice cream is Baskin-Robbins level.. Forget every buffet ice cream you've had before.. Kuu Kuu's ice cream selection is genuinely amazing 😍🫢

Turns out they've been running this kind of food party. No wonder the dessert lineup was on another level 💗💗 This really feels like the best value buffet out there 👍🫶

Is Kuu Kuu Nowon Branch good for a family meal out?

You can even order unlimited draft beer!! But then wouldn't you get way too full,,??

If you're looking for a family dining spot, I really want to recommend Kuu Kuu Nowon Branch!! Taste, variety, cleanliness, friendliness, service, value for money — nothing was lacking 🤗❤️

The staff were so friendly and cleared used plates quickly, so the table always stayed spacious and tidy — it made the whole meal really comfortable haha.

The place was really clean too!! 🩵🩵 The tables were tidy and the floors were kept spotless, which made it great for dining with family, and the seats were comfortable enough to sit in for a long time without any discomfort :)
