Any good all you can eat buffets in Seoul that you can share? Japanese or hot pot are favourites of mine but post anything.

Name/Cuisine Style/Area/Approximate Price, for example:

Jade Garden / Japanese / Gangnam Station / $20

(I just made that up I haven't found a buffet in Korea yet).

I enjoy the Bono Bono franchize.

The Grand Kitchen at the bottom of the Intercontinental Hotel in COEX is good. It's a little pricey (not sure how much, my gf took me there for my b-day) and you most likely need to make a reservation. They have a sushi bar, lots of fresh seafood, tenderloin, salad/soup/desert bar, tons of side dishes, typical Korean fare, etc...

There is one near Gangnam Station. Come out exit 8, walk straight about 2-3 blocks and on the left you will see the LIG building, and next to that is the sushi place. Its called 동해도 I believe. Its a buffet but there is a time limit. Something like, all you can eat for 50 minutes.

50 minutes is plenty of time to stuff your face. I'm usually full after 15-20 minutes.

Muscus has a buffet with seafood and other foods, including salads, noodles, soups, desserts, etc. It costs about 25,000 won, depending on the day and time. It's a chain, I don't know all the locations, but there's one at Central City/Express Bus Terminal, and one in Kangnam.

The Sejong Hotel, Sofitel and COEX Intercontinental have happy hour buffets ranging from 20,000 won to 25,000 won a head. You get all you can eat buffet (varies by hotel) plus draft beer and wine are included.

Usmania has a great Indian/Pakistani buffet for 17000, it's behind the Hamilton Hotel in Itaewon.

beomgye station, line 4. not sure which exit. you gotta go to the nc department store. there are 2 nc department stores at beomgye station. one has a mcdonalds, the other doesn't. go to the one that doesn't have mcdonalds. go to the 8th floor and there's a place called ashleys. it's an all you can eat salad bar. it has hot meat dishes, like fried chicken. some pasta (korean style maybe), they had potato wedges, cream of brocolli soup, meatballs, salds, and a whole bunch of other sh!t

it's mostly "american" food. but a little bit localized.

cost is 12,900

Grand Hilton Seoul - formerly known as Swiss Grand - has arguably the best buffet in town.

Then any one of the other big hotels - Millennium Hilton's California Restaurant is good - as is the Oak Room (one of my fav. places, actually). The Hyatt, Westin Chosun, Ritz Carlton all have decent buffets.

Not sure about other places..

this is just for alcohol, but i know this will be useful info to many. baekseju maeul (백세주마을) at jonggak station behind the bosingak exit. this was a while ago i went, but it was 9000 won for unlimited baekseju. you pay for anju, plus the 9000, and drink for as long as you want.

Silla Hotel has the best buffet in town--kills the Grand Kitchen & Hyatt dead.
