Flavors is a premium buffet restaurant on the second floor of JW Marriott Seoul on Sinbanpo-ro in Seocho-gu, consistently ranked among the top three hotel buffets in the Gangnam area. Guests are welcomed with a glass of Taittinger champagne, and dinner service includes a complimentary glass of wine and a small lasagna per person. The butter-grilled lobster from the seafood station draws the highest acclaim, served continuously throughout the meal with two pieces offered per trip. Snow crab quality varies by session, but the overall seafood lineup is generous. At the grill station, the udae galbi and LA galbi are the strongest performers among the meat offerings, while lamb chops show occasional inconsistency in tenderness. Chinese dishes such as jeon-ga-bok and palbo-chae impress, and the Japanese sushi section performs at an adequate level. The live pasta station cooks to order, resulting in noticeably better noodle texture than typical buffet fare. Desserts represent the buffet's clearest strength, with salted caramel ice cream, tiramisu, creme brulee, lemon pound cake, and financiers all reaching a high standard. The salad station stands out for its freshness, and the fruit selection is equally well-maintained. A takeaway beverage is offered upon departure, and the latte option is genuinely excellent. The interior combines dark tones with natural wood for an upscale, weighty aesthetic, though noise levels can rise on weekends or when large group reservations coincide. The restaurant is within walking distance of Express Bus Terminal Station, and weekday visits allow for a noticeably more relaxed pace.
