Seoul Yeouido Kensington Hotel Broadway Buffet & Event Guide

Located by the Han River in Yeouido, Kensington Hotel Broadway is a hotel buffet known for its polished atmosphere and broad menu selection. This review is based on my own paid visit and covers the food, the atmosphere, and the special event options in detail.

⚠️ Note: The photos in this review were taken about one hour after the second dinner seating had started. A lot of food had already been consumed, so the buffet is more fully stocked and visually abundant when you first enter.
