TAKE
테이크 종각점 Teikeu Jonggakjeom Take is simply the English word 'take', written TAKE on the sign; one post quotes the brand line 'TAKE, MY REAL BUFFET' — this is Ourhome's first branch of the buffet, at Jonggak.

Take Jonggak is Ourhome's world-food buffet on the second basement level of the Youngpoong Building (the Youngpoong bookstore building), linked underground to Jonggak station. You pay at the entrance, get a table number, graze stations for Korea, Japan, Asia, Spain, Italy and the US, and carry your own empty plates to a return rack. Adult prices are 23,900 won for weekday lunch, 29,900 won for weekday dinner and 32,900 won on weekends and holidays, unchanged across everything we read. We read 30 posts dated 1 June to 9 October 2026; 16 are about this place and 13 describe an actual meal. The other 14 are about nearby restaurants.

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
- The 90-minute limit is enforced. Four posts ran into it. One weekday-lunch visitor was asked to leave at the 90-minute mark even though nobody was waiting outside; another said staff announced it right on time. One post was warned about it but never asked to leave.
- Eight of the thirteen visits were booked. A booking does not remove the wait entirely: one 11:00 booking still queued 5–10 minutes at the pay counter because every 11:00 guest arrived at once, and the writer advised against that slot. In May, one visitor found the next day fully booked, turned up at 10:50 on a weekend, drew number 31 and was seated about ten minutes later.
- Waiting depends on the hour. Three posts waited, all around the 11:00 opening. Two did not: a walk-in at about 17:00 on a Saturday and a visit at about 16:00 on a Sunday, which the writer found quiet.
- Most found it fair for the money: six posts said so, one called it on the pricey side, and two stopped short of a verdict, noting that weekdays are the better deal and weekends cost a little more than Ashley.
3 more
- Seasoning splits opinion: two posts found the food salty overall, while one light-eater found it not too strong.
- Five posts called the room large. Tables are assigned at payment, though: one pair got a four-top, while another found the two-seat tables so small they felt built for one.
- Four posts went with friends, two with family (a mother's birthday, a mother and daughter) and two as couples, including a pair who took the train up from Daegu after seeing it on TV.

Two posts drove. One said the building garage gives three hours free, registered yourself at the entrance; the other had no trouble parking on a weekend but found the way out confusing, and guessed weekdays could be tight with office workers.

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
4 posts say it is walkable from the station.
Getting inside
| In a basement | 5 of 13 posts |
|---|---|
| Toilet inside | yes 0 · no 1 (of 13 posts read) |
It is two floors below ground. Five posts described the way down: entering the Youngpoong bookstore from the subway puts you on B1, and one post points to the escalator in front of MUJI to reach B2. One group all got lost despite the floor signs; another found the building doors shut on a weekend and came in through the bookstore entrance. Four posts said the underground link from the station made it easy by public transport.
Nobody mentioned steps at the entrance, wheelchair or pushchair access, or a lift; the only route described is the escalator down to B2. That means nobody wrote about it, not that it is missing.
One post said the toilets are not inside the restaurant: you share the building's toilets and have to walk a bit, though they were clean. Separate men's and women's toilets appear only in copied listing info, not in anyone's own account.
No one mentioned: Second floor · Lift to the 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 16 posts we gathered, 3 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
- Eight visit posts all give 11:00–21:00 daily for opening hours, mostly copied from the Naver listing. Weekday lunch pricing switches to dinner at 17:00, and three posts say the salad bar closes at 20:30. Nobody mentioned a closing day.
- Some things cost extra: the grill items (porchetta, chicken steak) are a 9,900 won supplement, and one post notes draught beer and wine are ordered separately. Children's prices (14,900 won primary, 9,900 won preschool) appear only as copied info; no post describes going with children.
- The phone number 0507-1325-0065 appears in three posts, all in copied info blocks. Visitors booked through Naver and CatchTable; nobody mentions booking by phone.
- The themed corner rotates. June–August visits describe a Buldak spicy-noodle collaboration corner; posts from September describe an autumn menu running September to November and a Youngpoong bookstore tie-in. Check the date before assuming a dish is still there.
- Three posts were written without a visit: two repeat Ourhome's announcements (60,000 guests in 80 days, 250 pyeong, a second branch at Jamsil) and one is a news digest we could not read in full. We did not count anything from them.
