It's also a restaurant that has helped shape the history of The Shilla Seoul. I've been coming here for quite a long time, and the kitchen has always maintained the highest standards. They bring out the sweetness and texture of crabmeat beautifully, while dishes like the fried short ribs and jjamppong noodles are cooked exceptionally well and taste excellent. Just as Chef Hu's Buddha Jumps Over the Wall represents Haobin and the signature sweet-and-sour pork represents Hong Yuan, the sea cucumber dishes are the symbol of Palsun. They preserve the sea cucumber's distinctive soft yet springy texture, and both the filling and sauce have excellent savory depth. On top of that, the service and hospitality are among the best in the country, making this an exceptionally well-rounded restaurant in both food and setting. It's an outstanding Chinese restaurant I can recommend to anyone.
