Restaurant 8 Grand Hyatt Incheon Branch — Restaurant in Incheon

Breakfast buffet was included in my stay so I checked it out. I was awake all evening because of my jetlag so I went to the restaurant before the opening. They had prepared all the dishes and were ready to greet the guest!

The variety of food was good - for breakfast buffet they have the western style section, bakery section, fruit/desseet section, and korean/asian section.

They offer a choice of coffee as you are seated. I got the latte and it was good.

I think their 알타리 kimchi was really good.

For their udon section, i wish they also boil the topings with the noodles. The soup wasnt hot enough to stay warm after I added the vege and fish cake toppings.

Overall the saltiness of the korean dishes are low. But they offer sauces or side dishes to supplement the saltiness.

By the time i left, i noticed that they definitely make use of the big space they have - meaning they spread out their guests rather than localizing them into 1 section. I really appreciated this!

The only thing I thought about is the number of steps that folks can trip on in the layout. But no one did while I was there so maybe it’s not a problem. The different levels separate by a “step” definitely adds to the aesthetics, but I do wonder if it’s a...

I had a layover in Incheon and arrived at the hotel in the early morning hours. Delta gave us a free buffet dinner. I don't know if it was because it was 6am or if it is the usual situation for the food.

Service was good. Everyone was friendly and spoke English well. Much of the food seemed like it had been out awhile and needed refreshing. My pasta dish was not hot. The foccacia bread was a bit stale. The whole roasted turkey was a bit dry except for a few pieces I picked through to find. The cheese and olvea were good, but they are hard to mess up. The desserts were tasty, especially the almond bark.

Overall I was disappointed in the food options, but I didn't have other real options at the time.

Oh, and be careful of the steps in the dining room. I almost fell due to a low step that blended in...

Food selection is small for the dinner. Food was cold and serving the food was made difficult due to broken tongs. Food was not replenished adequately so you often had to wait. Meat was not cooked well and/or sat in lukewarm sauces. Depending on where you sit you may not even realize that a whole other section is available to choose foods from - the restaurant layout is very poor, lots of steps in a buffet makes things difficult to maneuver during high traffic times. Tables are short and not comfortable for taller people, which is fine as a majority of the clientele find it comfortable. Dessert selection is small. Coffee machine makes very short pours.

Breakfast cost 35,000KRW - worth the price paid Dinner cost 100,000KRW - Not...
