About Sky31 Convention Buffet
Sky31 Convention Buffet is Daejeon's reference-panoramic-view fine-dining destination — the Hanwha Convention Center 31st-floor restaurant in Seo-gu that has held the city's premier-buffet-and-corporate-dinner reputation since the property opened. The restaurant occupies the entire 31st floor of the Hanwha Galleria-and-Hanwha-Convention-Center complex, with the floor-to-ceiling windows wrapping the perimeter (panoramic-view of the Daejeon-cityscape, the Daedeok Innopolis research-cluster, the Hanbat-arboretum, the Bomun-mountain ridgeline, and on-clear-days the Gyeryong-mountain national-park to the south), and the central live-cooking-station array (the seafood-station with the live-from-Korea's-east-coast hairtail-and-flounder-and-mackerel, the Korean-hanu-beef-carving-station, the wok-Korean-Chinese-station, the dim-sum-and-sushi-station, and the dessert-station with the K-pâtisserie-and-French-pâtisserie spread).
The buffet runs the international-spread with the Korean-Chinese-Japanese-Western-fusion emphasis. The signatures are the live-from-the-tank steamed-flounder Korean-style (with ginger-and-spring-onion soy-sauce), the Korean-hanu beef-carving (the 1++ premium Korean beef carved table-side from the rotating-spit), the Korean-style sashimi-and-sushi spread (the live-from-Busan tuna-and-amberjack), the dim-sum-cart service, and the K-pâtisserie dessert spread (the bingsu shaved-ice with red-bean-and-mochi, the green-tea-and-yuja-jeolbyeong rice-cake desserts). The lunch-buffet runs KRW 75,000-95,000 ($55-70) per cover; the dinner-buffet runs KRW 130,000-180,000 ($95-130) per cover.
The room is the Daejeon-corporate-dinner-and-celebration-dinner canvas. The 31st-floor panoramic-view, the floor-to-ceiling windows-on-all-sides, the central live-cooking-station-array, the spaced tables, and the senior-international-trained waitstaff make Sky31 the city's reference-corporate-banquet-and-impress-clients answer. Capacity is around 350 across the main dining hall and the four private banquet-salons.
Reservations are essential for the weekend evenings, the corporate-banquet windows, and the Korean-Chinese-New-Year peak; two weeks ahead for the panoramic-window tables. The restaurant accepts cards, the staff speak strong English-Korean-Chinese-Japanese, and the post-dinner Hanwha-Galleria-shopping or Daedeok-Innopolis-area-walk is the conventional close.
Best Occasion Fit
For impressing visiting international clients, Sky31 is the Daejeon standard-issue answer — the 31st-floor panoramic-view, the live-from-the-tank-Korean-seafood-buffet, and the Hanwha-Convention-Center corporate-address read correctly to the Korean-conglomerate-and-multinational-research-corporate clientele. For birthdays the panoramic-view dining hall delivers the proper celebration-dinner scale. For team dinners the private banquet-salons handle groups of fifteen-to-fifty.
