Compiled from 25 blog posts read in fullSources →
A conveyor-belt hotpot-and-grill buffet on the third floor of 118 Eoulmadang-ro, near exit 9 of Hongik Univ. Station. Every seat has its own hotpot and griddle, ingredients circle past on a belt, and a self-serve bar holds sauces, fried rice, mala stir-fry, drinks and egg tarts. Lunch is 18,900 won, dinner, weekends and holidays 22,900 won, with 1,000 won extra for a split broth. We read 30 posts from 23 September to 10 October 2026; 26 describe a visit (two were about other places and two described nothing they experienced).

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
- Expect to wait. Twelve of the 26 visit posts mention a queue; the times given are 15 minutes (ten groups ahead), 45 minutes (joined at 6:15 p.m., seated at 7) and an hour and a half. One post counted eleven groups at 7 p.m. on a weekday, another ten groups by the end of lunch. The waitlist runs on CatchTable. Three posts say solo diners were seated straight away, skipping the line.
- Every seat is a single bar seat facing the belt. Four posts say so, one noting there are no four-person tables, so groups sit side by side. Six posts mention a basket under the chair for bags.
- You order by scanning the QR code at your seat and picking a broth. Sixteen posts describe this, and several say a panda robot brings the pot along the belt. Cutlery and bowls are fetched from the self-serve bar; one post was thrown at first by the bare seat.
- Seating is limited to 90 minutes. Six posts mention it; one said the time was plenty.
2 more
- Posts call it cheap: fourteen mention good value and none says it is expensive. A split broth brings dinner to 23,900 won and lunch to 19,900. One post used a 1,000-won Naver coupon, another a Toss Face Pay coupon.
- It suits solo diners: eight of the 26 visits were alone, with one each by family, a partner, a friend and a group of three. Several posts remark on how many people were eating alone.

There is no parking: four posts say so in their own words and suggest nearby street car parks; other 'no parking' lines are copied info blocks.

Where it 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
11 posts say it is walkable from the station.
Getting inside
| In a basement | yes 0 · no 7 (of 25 posts read) |
|---|---|
| Lift to the floor | 6 of 25 posts |
| Toilet inside | 1 of 25 posts |
A lift takes you to the third floor; six posts mention it and seven describe going up to the third floor. The entrance is not under the sign but down the alley on the left of the building, and several posts say they got lost finding it.
No one wrote about a step at the entrance or getting in with a wheelchair or pushchair. That means we don't know, not that it's fine or not; we only know there is a lift.
Only one post mentions the toilet, saying there is a clean one by the entrance inside. No one says whether it is separated by sex.
No one mentioned: Second floor · Ramp at the door · Step at the entrance · Step-free access · Accessible toilet · Separate restrooms. 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 27 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
- Views on size differ: four posts found it smaller than expected and one found it roomier; one adds that seats are not cramped.
- One post dissents: a group of three found both broths too salty to eat even after adding water, the air-con weak and the floor sticky. Seven posts call the place clean.
- Posts disagree on drinks: one says soju and beer cost 3,000 won, another that alcohol is unlimited. One says there's no water, another fetched water from a dispenser.
- Fourteen posts give the same hours, 11:00–24:00 daily with last order at 22:30, but most copy an info block. The posts cluster in late September to early October 2026, many carry the same five hashtags, and three disclose sponsorship or free food. One post says there are no reservations; the waitlist is on CatchTable. Phone 0507-1382-5666.
