Near city hall, next to the building with the Canadian embassy/starbucks there's a sports pub that has a decent lunch time buffet. Big plates of raw salmon. About 9,000 won.

Carney Station has a decent all-you-can-eat AND drink for like 25,000won. The food is mainly Korean, bbq meats, lots of veggies, salad stuff, rice, fruit, etc..But the best part is you can drink as much booze as you like, and not just beer - vodka, Jack, etc. And you can mix the drinks yourself.

There's one in Hongdae and I think another one in Gangnam somehwere. Sorry, that's not so helpful is it? But loads of people know about it so it shouldn't be hard to find out exactly where it is. It closes at like 10pm or something so go early!

I'm going to second this recommendation, as Carne Station is one of the best deals out there to get your drink and feed on. Damn, that's good. Here's a link to a map to the Hongdae location (it's in Korean): http://www.carnestation.co.kr/store/default.asp?PKind=HONGDAE

It's the first place I've ever seen with all you can drink hard liquor. It's a potentially very dangerous way to start your evening, that's for sure. Very Happy

For your protection, there is a two-hour time limit. Oh, and if you go on the weekend, make sure you call in reservations first, they tend to fill up. As will you.

Also, pretty much all of the Indian restaurants in Itaewon have buffets on the weekend. My favorites are Usmania (in the alley to the left of the Hamilton Hotel, Pakistani and Indian food) for W17,000 and New Delhi (in another alley, hard to describe, try doing a search here) for W13,000.

A good alternative to the salad bar at VIPs and Sizzler is a clone in Hongdae called 7 Springs. They've got a pasta and crepe bar... it's evil good.

This is exactly what I am looking for.
So far, I have been able to find only 1 brewpub in Seoul. It's in MyeongDong. I can't remember the name, but the building is pretty huge and has some German on the sign. It's around the block from Migliore.

It's in Jeonju, but it's 5,500 for all you can eat barbeque. Unbelievable price and the food is great!
