Is THB 2,800 really worth it for a dinner buffet, even with a top-notch chef? Seems overpriced for what it is.
Absolutely! For a chef of Kyohoon Koo’s caliber, it’s a steal. His dishes are an experience, not just a meal.
I agree! High-end experiences like this are worth every penny.
I can’t justify it. I’d rather save money and just eat at a local Korean restaurant.
Local places have their charm, but it’s not the same level of cuisine.
Totally depends on your interest in haute cuisine. It’s like paying for a concert, some people see the value, some don’t.
I guess I can see both sides. Maybe I should try before judging.
A Jellyfish Salad? Seriously? That sounds so unappealing!
Have you ever tried jellyfish? It’s actually quite good! Don’t knock it till you try it.
It’s a staple in Korean cuisine and beloved by many!
Maybe I should give it a shot. Always down for trying new things.
Jellyfish adds a unique texture to dishes. It’s worth experiencing at least once.
Does anyone know if the buffet offers vegetarian options? The article didn’t mention it.
Most buffets have vegetarian options. It’s best to call and ask to be sure.
Thanks, Jessica! I’ll give them a call.
I’d be bummed if there weren’t any vegetarian dishes. Korean cuisine has some amazing veg options!
The view alone is worth it. Dining by the Chao Phraya River is magical, especially with such a fine dining experience.
I second that. The ambiance is half the battle for a memorable meal.
Nature and fine dining combined is definitely a win-win!
Does anyone know if kids are welcome, and what the price would be for them?
Most high-end buffets have discounted prices for kids. I’d call ahead to confirm.
I love kimchi, but I’m not sure I’d want to pay that much just for kimchi stew. How complex can it really be?
Kimchi Jigae can be incredibly diverse and flavorful. It’s not just about the ingredients but the passion and technique behind it.
You might be right. I guess I need to broaden my horizon about kimchi dishes.
I think the price is just another way for hotels to milk tourists. Authentic Korean food doesn’t have to cost this much.
It’s not just about authenticity, it’s about the whole culinary experience offered by a world-class chef.
Still seems like a rip-off to me. Experiences can be had cheaper elsewhere.
Seafood Pancake bursting with flavor? Count me in! That alone would make my day.
Why is it just for 9 days though? Seems like a short time for such an extensive setup.
Guest chefs usually have packed schedules, and it’s a way to keep things exclusive and special.
It probably helps them avoid food fatigue and keeps the menu fresh.
I’m not into spicy food. Are there mild options available?
Most buffets, especially high-end ones, have a variety for everyone’s palate. Should definitely be milder options.
Good to know, thanks Geoff. Might give it a shot then.
Do they have any dessert options posted anywhere? What does Korean dessert even look like?
Korean desserts can be fantastic! Think of things like Hotteok (sweet pancakes) and Yakgwa (honey cookies). I bet the buffet will have some amazing options.
This sounds like a perfect date night idea. Are there vegan options?
You might want to call them just to be safe, but high-end buffets usually cater to all diets.
Can’t wait! Chef Koo is a legend. Totally worth every baht.
Agreed! I’ve followed his career and he’s renowned in culinary circles.
Do they provide any cooking demonstrations? Would love to see Chef Koo in action.
The specialized dishes sound fantastic, but are drinks included in that price or are they extra?
Most likely extra. High-end buffets usually charge separately for drinks.
