Yihwawon — Restaurant in Seoul

This place used to include unlimited dimsum with their course dinner and despite the price it was a pretty good value for what you could get. They have now discontinued the unlimited portion without changing the price, and it means there is no longer any reason to come here. Not only is it a laughably small amount of food for the price now (8-9 pieces of small dimsum and a few other plates with a bite or two each on them for 43k), the quality of the dimsum has taken a real hit since they now serve so little of it. Every piece felt old despite being freshly steamed and hot--like they had been sitting out waiting to be steamed since early morning. It's not worth half what they are charging now, and the dimsum has gone from decent and unlimited to almost none and some of the very worst I have ever had anywhere. Definitely take this one...

Special occasions deserve special places, and for the past 10 years, this hotel restaurant has been mine. I’ve returned here time and again for its memorable course meals, which always felt like a treat. Unfortunately, this time fell short of expectations. The fried dim sum arrived soggy and cold—a surprising disappointment. Overall, the food was good, but it didn’t quite meet the standards expected of a hotel. I stopped taking photos because I lost motivation toward the end of the course.

Even at 7 p.m., the restaurant was quiet, with only a few tables occupied and some guests in private rooms. It left me wondering if the charm has faded. Perhaps it’s time to find a new go-to for those important...

Very nice place to visit during weekend because the taste is very good but almost no visitor during weekend because it is located in a business hotel. Somebody can say it is a bit expensive, however compared to other Chinese restaurants near there, it is not that extensive. I used to visit here if I have some anniversary such as my son's birthday. They also have private rooms, but you might have to make a reservation. I think 짬뽕 jjam bbong is special. I also like other dishes....
