Located on the 2nd fl of Conrad Seoul Hotel. It was a buffet restaurant with good quality foods. Liked almost every food. But we didnt like the dandan noodle🍜 & crawfish🦞.. It was too plain. The desert was awesome.🍧🍨🍩🍪🍮 Overall the price seemed bit too high for the quality & taste. Staffs were kind & helpful. But we wished they clean up the dish & table more often. Perhaps they were short staffed..

The restaurant is very spacious and comfortable but the food doesn't worth 180,000KRW. The shrimp was too dry. Hainan chicken wasnt up to the standard. Dimsum was nice. Fried rice was too dry too. Once is enough.

It's a beautiful restaurant. We enjoyed the breakfast buffet, and it was food. A huge selection of foods, seafood,Korean dishes, juices, pastries and more. It seems a little overpriced. That is the reason for 4 star. The views are really nice, too!!

With high ceilings and multiple types of seating, Zest has a great ambience. The breakfast is massive, with western dishes on one whole side, and three sides of Korean and Asian options. There are juices, yogurt, and all kinds of other options. The staff is attentive, though on a couple days they seemed a bit short staffed. The espresso is yummy, try it.

Had the breakfast buffet while staying here and it was okay. I was expecting more for this caliber of hotel. It was very nice, but I did not think it was anything mind-blowing. The items were similar to other Hilton hotels in Seoul, so I was expecting more. It was elevated compared to the other Hiltons, but you're paying for the location. I was here on a Saturday and came early because it can get super crowded. I arrived at 7:45am and walked right in. No wait. The dining room is high vaulted and expansive.

Had the breakfast buffet and it was one of the best buffet breakfasts we have had so far. It was included in the nightly rate, which made it even sweeter.
The staff was super friendly and respectful. We had our young infant with us, and the staff went the extra mile to make it easier for us. They have the Stokke high chairs (fantastic high chair BTW, and makes me want to get one for our home), baby plates, cups, and utensils. One of the staff members brought us hot chocolate just in case the baby would be interested in it. So nice and thoughtful.
Food was really good too. Very large spread - I probably tasted just over half of the items they had. The Korean dishes were probably the best of the lot. Of the things I tried, the chocolate croissant was probably my least favorite.

One of the best hotel breakfast buffets I have experienced!! There was a wide variety of food, including soups, dumplings, fruits, pastries, salad, noodle bar, etc. They change it slightly each day and one of the days there was a doughnut bar! The environment was very classy and the huge windows in the seating area gave us the best view to see the sunrise :)

Great buffet selection especially seafood and sushi, sashimi. Once you feel you had enough food, you still cannot resist some of the dessert selection. Of course everything come at a price. For kids, they do offer a discount and come with kids cutlery set. There is plenty to choose for children from buffet.
