A seafood-and-sushi buffet in the basement of Haeseong 2 Building, 508 Teheran-ro, across from COEX near Samseong Station. One price covers sashimi and sushi, build-your-own mulhoe, a grill with lamb rack and steak, Chinese dishes such as stuffed shiitake and mango shrimp, a made-to-order noodle bar, cakes and ice cream, plus unlimited draft beer, wine and makgeolli. October 2026 posts list 85,000 won for weekday lunch, 109,000 won for weekday dinner and 119,000 won on weekends and holidays per adult (39,000 and 29,000 won for children) — prices after a rise around September 2026. We read 30 posts dated June 14 to October 23, 2026; 27 describe an actual visit. One was about another restaurant, and two (the house's own blog and a post built from listing data) were not counted.

Rows without a count: 6 of 15 posts.

Counted from what bloggers wrote in their posts; we did not confirm it with the restaurant. Where the values differ, it may be a change over time rather than a disagreement, so we show when each one was written.

What sets it apart

  1. Nine posts saw the private rooms themselves. The room sizes (12 to 66 seats, a 70-person hall with a projector, rooms only for bookings of ten or more) are the house's own figures, relayed by several posts. Two posts also describe semi-private spaces for up to four, one with a frosted door that closes.
  2. Of the 27 visits, nine were with family, four with a partner, three were office dinners and two with friends. The two posts with small children found high chairs, staff who brought baby scissors unasked, and plain rice with clam soup for the kids. One Sunday-dinner post, though, found it noisy with too many children. One of the office-dinner posts declared no more buffets for team dinners.
  3. Seven posts mention a waiting area at the entrance, one with sofas and a wall of whisky. No post reports a long wait: a 12:20 weekday lunch and a Sunday dinner both walked straight in, and one post says weekday dinners are usually wait-free but holidays may not be. Seven posts booked ahead.
  4. Six posts had been before: one returning after some twenty years, one after five years noting prices had risen 60 to 70 percent, one who held a baby's 100-day meal here, one on their umpteenth visit.
3 more
  1. Five posts say the lamb and steak had no gamy smell. One found the lamb rack juicy; another found the first steak dry and the fresh batch tender, and advises grabbing it right after a refill.
  2. Two posts say weekday dinner has no time limit or split seatings; a third mentions a two-hour dining time, so this is not settled. Posts note split dinner seatings in December and on two days of the 2026 Chuseok holiday.
  3. One post found the food salty overall. Three found only some dishes salty: the aged-kimchi flatfish sushi and Caesar salad, the pork knuckle, and food generally too seasoned for a toddler.

Parking

1 posts say you can park. None say you cannot.

Posts saying you can park1 of 26 posts

Nearly every post copies the same parking notice: building levels B2 to B5, two hours free at weekday lunch, two and a half at weekday dinner and Saturday, unlimited on Sundays and holidays. Only one post actually parked and found plenty of space. One post copied weekday dinner as unlimited too.

Where it is

Map showing where BONO BONO is

We could not find this shop’s own listing on Naver Map, so the link searches for its Korean name around this spot instead.

From the station

3 posts say it is walkable from the station.

Getting inside

Toilet inside1 of 26 posts
Separate restrooms1 of 26 posts

No one said whether there is a step at the door or a lift down. Four posts describe going down to the basement level, one by the stairs. No post mentions entering with a wheelchair or stroller — that means we don't know, not that it is impossible.

One post puts separate men's and women's toilets inside the restaurant next to the counter; another says they sit off toward the counter and can be hard to find. Several call them clean, and a nursing room is mentioned. Nothing on accessible toilets.

No one mentioned: Second floor · Lift to the floor · Ramp at the door · Step at the entrance · Step-free access · Accessible toilet. That is not the same as there being none — it means we could not confirm it. Worth calling ahead, and do tell us: we will put it here.

Posts that followed a TV spot

Of the 28 posts we gathered, 2 went up on a single day right after a TV spot and show no sign of a visit. They retell the broadcast, so we left them out of the counts.

We do not discard them. That a TV spot produced a burst of posts is itself something worth knowing about a place, and a star rating will not show it.

What we do not know

  • Opening hours are copied in many posts: mostly 11:30–21:00 on weekdays and 12:00–21:00 on weekends, with a weekday break from 14:30 to 17:30. Most give the weekend break as 14:30–17:00; one lists 14:30–17:00 every day and one 14:30–15:00. The only first-hand time is the 17:30 weekday dinner opening. Several posts say hours change in December.
  • Prices changed around September 2026: one September 1 post said a change was coming, another the same day said it had just happened, and a September weekend receipt shows a new rate. No post records the old prices. Four posts call it expensive. The Naver-booking discounts (10% weekday lunch, 5% otherwise) and 10% partner-company discount are the house's own notices, relayed.
  • Phone numbers differ: four posts give 0507-1472-8081, two give 02-3288-8080, and the house's own blog lists 02-3280-8080 for reservations.
  • Posts disagree on whether there are four or five wines. One says staff swap in a fresh glass on request; two say you get one glass and must carry it back for refills.
  • Many posts from September and October 2026 share the same phrases in the same order — the 70-person hall, the projector, the office-retreat-and-first-birthday pitch, the partner-company list at the till, the December hours change. One is tagged as sponsored, one says it is a partner post, and one still carries unfilled photo placeholders. We counted them where they record eating, but their praise should be read with that in mind. Several posts say the interior was redone before July 2026; none we read describes it before.
