Hotel The Born Jeju

It's a great value lunch buffet spot. Hotel Thebon guests can dine for 12,000 won, while the general public can do so for 15,000 won per adult. This was my second visit as a general patron, and it seems there's always a wait whenever I come here. This time, we arrived around 11 a.m. on a weekday and waited about 45 minutes. They notified us of our admission order via KakaoTalk, so we browsed a nearby Daiso while waiting. 😁 The variety of food isn't huge, but I think it's good because you can eat your fill satisfyingly. The tastes are all decent too. The popular dish here seems to be the smoked salmon, which I've never managed to eat because the plates are always empty whenever we check the buffet. 😅 Instead, I enjoyed as much cereal as I wanted and also had bread that I toasted and spread with butter. Kyeong-sun says the pork tofu stew here is delicious. It seemed particularly busy that day, and by 12:50 p.m. when we were leaving, a sign was put up indicating early closure. The original last admission time is 1:30 p.m., but it might be better to go early. The general public can enter starting at 10 a.m.~ Revisited and it's still a favorite :)
