Ourhome is entering the buffet market with a new brand built on nearly 30 years of food-service operating experience.
The company said Tuesday it will open the first location of its new buffet brand, TAKE, on May 1 on the second basement level of the Youngpoong Building in Jongno-gu, Seoul. The restaurant has about 823 square meters (250 pyeong) of dedicated space and is connected to Jonggak Station on Seoul Subway Line 1. Ourhome said it expects demand from nearby office workers on weekdays and from visitors and tourists on weekends, citing proximity to areas such as Gwanghwamun, Insadong and Cheonggyecheon.
The name TAKE comes from the film term for a unit of shooting, reflecting the company’s aim for the dining experience to remain as memorable as a scene in a movie. The store concept is a “global food market,” bringing together dishes from around the world to create a travel-like experience, the company said.
The menu centers on “global gourmet stations” featuring signature dishes from different countries, offering about 130 items on weekends and holidays. Ourhome said it plans to continue introducing new dishes at each station that reflect national characteristics and current trends.
A barbecue-focused area called “TAKE Grill” uses a rotisserie method, slowly roasting skewered ingredients while they turn. The company said the space is designed as a “live grill zone” where customers can watch food being prepared. Menu items include a pulled pork taco plate and smoked Texas barbecue ribs. Porchetta and chicken steak will be offered as “Golden Ticket” items for an additional 9,900 won.
The restaurant will also run a content-style space called “Pop-up Table.” Ourhome said the first collaboration will be with Samyang Foods’ Buldak brand, followed by projects including collaborations with star chefs, “Meet the Celeb” featuring Ourhome’s Pyeonstorang convenience foods, and “Everyone’s Table” with long-established restaurant brands.
Prices for adults are 23,900 won for weekday lunch and 29,900 won for weekday dinner; weekends and holidays are 32,900 won. To mark Family Month, Ourhome said it will run a “299 event” from May 1 to May 5, offering the weekend and holiday menu at the weekday dinner price of 29,900 won.
