Located on the 2nd floor of The Shilla Seoul near Dongguk University Station Exit 5, PalSeon is the hotel's Chinese dining room where chefs from Guangdong and Beijing present mainland Chinese flavors with a polished, hotel-style finish. Fried rice is a local favorite — roughly eight variations are offered (pineapple, king crab, shrimp, chicken, barbecue, etc.). The signature Paljin fried rice mixes quality Hanwoo beef with plump shrimp and is stir-fried to be clean rather than greasy; bites of beef and shrimp add texture and savory depth to an otherwise restrained, balanced dish.

Local Tips

  • •Refined Chinese plates in a polished hotel setting on the 2nd floor of The Shilla Seoul
  • •About eight fried-rice varieties to choose from; Paljin fried rice stars Hanwoo beef and plump shrimp
  • •Near Dongguk Univ. Station Exit 5—reservations recommended and parking is available
