Ashley Queens Plus (Jamsil Lotte Castle) — Restaurant in Seoul

Nice atmosphere Variety of food

Sadly it can get real loud and chaotic since this is a busy branch. Reserve three or four days in advance during summer since they have lots of families dining even during weekday lunch. I go at 11 to get the fresh food and I don’t have to worry about running out when I get there early.

We enjoyed the unlimited & variety drinks! juice, tea, soda and espresso drinks were all okay, especially the passion fruit juice. It was tad sweet for me so I added sparkling water.

In terms of food, some are great and some are just mediocre. I liked how they had sea squirt red pepper paste rice with sesame sauce. I’m the same Korean section, enjoyed the eggplant soy sauce marinade, acorn jelly cold broth, mussel soup, soondae stir fry.

Other things I liked was the hot Mac and cheese, Taiwan soy milk, clam chowder, carbonara Tteokboki, rosé sauce thick flat glass noodle, garlic olive oil pasta, french ratatouille, honey butter potato, cheesy baked crispy potato wedges (they’re called Mexican cheese potatoes), spicy Pollak wheat noodles, roasted seafood vegetables with mustard sauce (cold dish), Italian grilled cabbage, balsamic green beans, grilled fish steak, Vietnamese rice noodles (make sure you put hoisin, sriracha, lemon, green sliced chili peppers).

As you can tell, I didn’t write anything from sushi section. Sadly there was nothing noteworthy. If I were to recommend one or two, it would be the white kimchi sushi with sesame oil and the raw calamari sushi with sesame oil.

In terms of dessert, I had the hot waffle with vanilla ice cream on top and drizzled chocolate fondue on half of my waffle. The other half I put red bean to give Asian flair. I also tried all the desserts and enjoyed the petite lemon pound cake, green tea cream cake, green grape jello. Other ones weren’t all that memorable except mangos. They’re just frozen mangos, you should get a plate right when you get there so that they’ll defrost by the time you’re done with your meal.

Would totally go again to another branch since this branch is always crowded. Nevertheless, we really enjoyed our food and for less than 20,000...

They offer a wide selection of food—from Korean dishes to Western comfort meals. Everything was fresh and nicely presented. The dessert section was also surprisingly good, especially the cakes and soft-serve ice cream. Worth the price if you’re looking for a satisfying buffet...

Even they ask the customers "self-service", the price is not different with other same restaurant. I think they must reduce the price if the service is not included! Why do we pay for the service I provided, for example...
