Take Jonggak<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

A buffet built by the country\u2019s top corporate cafeteria operator<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Not bad \u2014 here\u2019s how it stacks up against Ashley Queens<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/h2>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

With inflation still high, mid-price buffets are springing up everywhere.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ourhome \u2014 famous for running corporate cafeterias \u2014<\/span><\/p>\n

has opened its first mid-range buffet brand, Take.<\/span><\/p>\n

I stopped by the Jonggak location and here\u2019s the lowdown.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u200b<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n
\n

Take Jonggak<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Is it throwing shade at Ashley?<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/h2>\n

\n

Take Jonggak is the buzz of the food scene right now.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s tucked on B2 of the Youngpoong Bookstore building, right by Cheonggyecheon.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

The price is about 4,000 KRW (approximately 3 USD) cheaper than Ashley Queens \u2014 a small win for budget-minded diners.<\/span><\/p>\n

Located in busy Jonggak, where office workers swarm at lunch and after work,<\/span><\/p>\n

Take looks set to compete with Ashley Jonggak for weekday crowds and dinner crews.<\/span><\/p>\n

Thanks to opening buzz and viral word-of-mouth, CatchTable slots filled fast and walk-in lines were long.<\/span><\/p>\n

The timed-entry system is smart for a buffet \u2014 it keeps things moving.<\/span><\/p>\n

If they paired CatchTable with a remote queue feature, the flow would be even smoother.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n
\n

Take Jonggak<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

About 130 dishes under one roof<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/h2>\n

\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

The entrance felt tidy and welcoming.<\/span><\/p>\n

Some items are a la carte, but that porchetta roasting on the spit is seriously Instagrammable.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s a showpiece that grabs your attention the second you walk in.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Popup Station<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n \"class=se-image-resource\" <\/span>\n <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
\n

The pop-up station collects seasonal dishes in one easy-to-scan spot.<\/span><\/p>\n

Unlike big chains where new items pop up randomly and favorites disappear,<\/span><\/p>\n

Take smartly dedicated a separate area for rotating collaborations and seasonal hits.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

They keep bestseller staples on offer while rotating in fun new items,<\/span><\/p>\n

so regulars always have favorites to return to.<\/span><\/p>\n

Their current collab with Buldak-style stir-fried noodles kicks off a series of planned chef and brand tie-ins.<\/span><\/p>\n

Expect more pop-up menus in the coming months.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Korean Food Station <\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n
\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

Unless you\u2019re at a hotel-level buffet, Korean sections can be hit-or-miss.<\/span><\/p>\n

But Ourhome knows workplace menus inside out \u2014 they run cafeteria programs and sell ready-made meals and meal kits.<\/span><\/p>\n

That expertise shows: the Korean lineup was diverse<\/span><\/p>\n

and most dishes tasted genuinely good.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Sushi Zone<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

It doesn\u2019t offer the sheer volume sushi buffets like KuuKuu do,<\/span><\/p>\n

but the quality surprised me \u2014 the sushi corner was solid.<\/span><\/p>\n

I used to expect more from Ashley, so I was pleasantly surprised here.<\/span><\/p>\n

With a few additions like beef-topped nigiri or eel, positioned between a sushi buffet and Ashley\u2019s style,<\/span><\/p>\n

they could really win over more diners.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Asian Food<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

The Asian station focuses on Chinese and Thai dishes.<\/span><\/p>\n

A live station served dongpo pork over rice, jjajang noodles, and sundubu stew,<\/span><\/p>\n

giving off a special-meal vibe you might get from an upscale cafeteria.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Spanish Station<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

& Western Station<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

This might be the first time I\u2019ve seen a Spain-focused corner inside a Western station.<\/span><\/p>\n

They offered tapas, soups, baguettes, and gambas \u2014<\/span><\/p>\n

an offbeat but approachable take on Western cuisine that actually works.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n \"class=se-image-resource\" <\/span>\n <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
\n

The made-to-order tacos were a fun surprise \u2014 flavorful and well put together.<\/span><\/p>\n

They looked and tasted like something from a good casual spot, not a generic buffet.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n \"class=se-image-resource\" <\/span>\n <\/div>\n
\n \"class=se-image-resource\" <\/span>\n <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

On the Western side they had pizza, mac and cheese, pork ribs, boneless roast chicken, plenty of sauces, and fries.<\/span><\/p>\n

The pizza was surprisingly good for a buffet.<\/span><\/p>\n

The boneless chicken had main-course vibes \u2014 tasty and well seasoned \u2014 and the ribs held up in both sauce and meat quality.<\/span><\/p>\n

Since Ourhome develops many of these items as meal kits, the Western dishes felt thought-out and consistent.<\/span><\/p>\n

The pasta sauces hit the right consistency \u2014 a small but meaningful win over many buffets.<\/span><\/p>\n

The boneless chicken leaned toward a karaage style but came out more like nuggets; making tenders instead might lift it further.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

Desserts were the weakest link \u2014 without an in-house bakery, options were limited.<\/span><\/p>\n

Compared with bakery-backed chains like Vips or Ashley, Take\u2019s sweets felt modest.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is the area that needs the most improvement \u2014 adding Korean-style desserts would be a smart move.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Take Jonggak \u2014 Final Thoughts<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/h2>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

These days, workplace cafeterias have pushed salad options hard,<\/span><\/p>\n

so I wished Take had a few more fresh salad choices across the buffet.<\/span><\/p>\n

That said, Ourhome\u2019s long history in food service shows up in the balance and flavor.<\/span><\/p>\n

Overall, the dishes were well-seasoned and balanced.<\/span><\/p>\n

Japanese items like futomaki could use slightly bigger portions \u2014<\/span><\/p>\n

with that tweak they could even outshine saucier chains like KuuKuu.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lasagna, mac and cheese, and the boneless chicken are standout value hits at this price point.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n \"class=se-image-resource\" <\/span>\n <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
\n

All in all, the Korean selections were among the best I\u2019ve seen at buffets in this bracket.<\/span><\/p>\n

Garlic baguette and soups paired nicely, and the appetizer combinations surprisingly clicked.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\"class=se-image-resource\" <\/span>\n <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
\n

By my third plate, the tteokbokki tasted exactly like a street snack \u2014<\/span><\/p>\n

and that alone proved Take knows how to do Korean comfort food justice.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sweet-and-sour pork was classic and satisfying,<\/span><\/p>\n

The boneless chicken\u2019s seasoning and juicy texture made it truly recommendable,<\/span><\/p>\n

and the pork ribs beat Ashley Queens in my book.<\/span><\/p>\n

That said, the boneless chicken sometimes veered into plain nugget territory.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n \"class=se-image-resource\" <\/span>\n <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
\n

Dessert options were slim \u2014 waffles and not much else.<\/span><\/p>\n

Instead of a dozen cake varieties, they could lean into Korean rice cakes, pick one standout cake,<\/span><\/p>\n

and add cream puffs \u2014 something that pairs perfectly with coffee.<\/span><\/p>\n

That would make the dessert spread more satisfying.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u200b<\/span><\/p>\n

Compared to Ashley and Vips, Take feels cleaner and more confidently mid-priced.<\/span><\/p>\n

Together with brands like Naturebyulgok, this might be the best combo of quality and value in its tier.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n
