La Yeon

From the first course to the last, every dish was very well prepared and delicious. This restaurant offers very traditional Korean cuisine. Special mentions are the sea bream, beef carpaccio, red bonito, Korean grilled beef tenderloin and ginseng ice cream. We had a wonderful evening here.

According to Michelin guide, this restaurant is a 3 star restaurant. I can't say it is the best in Korea. After all, Shilla Hotel is owned by 3 star group, they may lobby for 1 or 2 stars. The restaurant has a nice view. The food is good and the service is good. But overall it really can't get 3 stars.

Very classic Korean cuisine, you can eat very authentic Korean food here. These Korean dishes are not very expensive, so we are very satisfied with the consumption of this tour group.

This restaurant is located on the 23rd floor of the top floor of the Shilla Hotel at the Metro Dongdaemun Station. The 2017 Michelin Guide Seoul picked 3 stars and was also selected on the 2017 Asia 50 Best Restaurants list. This restaurant also won the only Samsung restaurant in the Trip.com Food Forest 2017 list. The restaurant was formerly the Korean Dingshi restaurant Sorabol, which closed in 2005 at the Shilla Hotel, and the interval between closures was nine years! In 2013, an upgraded Korean restaurant "Luo Yan" was reopened. Silla's management was unusual at the time, because there were about 17 five-star hotels with Korean restaurants, but only four were left in that year. This is also because the president of the Silla Hotel Samsung Group's long princess Li Fuzhen has vigorously promoted the opening of this premium Korean restaurant. The chef of the restaurant, Kim Chengyi, has nearly 30 years of experience in Korean cuisine, and the team has also selected the best Korean chefs in the Korean hotel industry. In order to completely change the previous Korean food or Korean Ding food dishes are not exquisite, the dishes are single seasoned, the sense of dining ritual is insufficient, and the quality of traditional Korean wine in dining and wine is low. Chef Kim Chengyi led the team based on the 500-year-old Korean food ancient book recipes [Need a cloud recipe] using modern innovative cuisine technology to develop and cook traditional Korean food from the court and family. Traditional court Korean food maintenance tonic cuisine accounts for a lot of proportion, medicine and food homologation is also one of the compulsory topics of traditional Korean food masters, Luo Yan only uses local wild or organic agricultural green ingredients to develop dishes. The restaurant environment is elegant and noble, spacious and bright. From the perspective of catering professionalism, to observe the lighting, temperature, decoration, color matching and table spacing and other details are basically the most ideal state of Fine Dining restaurant. The service girls in black and white color matching dresses are also very good-looking and have excellent temperament and responsive service. The Nanshan Mountain is overlooked from the restaurant. The utensils are mainly made of white porcelain and copper, which are traditional and elegant. Lunch only 2 choice "gift" or "Luo banquet" package, if you come to Seoul to travel, I especially recommend to try Luo banquet according to the package of different types of Korean wine, because some of the traditional Korean wine here is non-market, are all exclusive orders of Silla. The quality of the dishes is also excellent, fresh "sea, land and air" ingredients, a faint sense of hierarchy, no irritating taste balance, wonderful! Among them, the seasonal raw beef bibimbap is delicious to burst! Vegetable meat and rice and seasoning are mixed together, the three-dimensional taste and the yin and yang five-line balance and harmonious taste Dao, let me immerse myself in this bibimbap, the poisoning is not shallow! Overall, this is a high-end Korean Dingshi restaurant with impeccable dishes, environment and service. Han food is famous and has historical precipitation court restaurants such as Sanqing Pavilion, Longshui Mountain, Shipo Corridor, etc. Although sticking to the traditional flag, the quality of the dishes is getting worse and there is no innovation. Luo Yan not only retains the traditional Korean food cuisine of the court's family, but also keeps pace with the times. Friends who want to experience the top Korean Ding Food choose here can definitely change the inherent Korean food impression.

The whole set ate for almost 3 hours. In fact, the taste was really flat, and there was no exquisite Japanese food. It may be more suitable for older diners! It's more appetizing to give me a pot of fried chicken!

Delicate food and utensils, light taste, service, we all like it very much, it is worth a visit. We ordered a set meal of 230,000 each, the amount is relatively large, and we can share it with an adult and a child.

The environment here is very peaceful and luxurious, with only a few tables that are nicely peeled off. I like the quiet and calm - it is mainly completely food and beautiful views. The service was beyond our expectations and still hot, polite, attentive, helpful and overall impeccable. I wanted to try a Korean wine for a glass of a few dishes for the first time and I recommended a glass of fermented server list of Korean drinks. It was amazing and really special. I highly recommend everyone to try at least one glass from that list. Then I ordered a glass of champagne and finished the last few dishes with me with a cup of Pino which was so delicious. Even wrote down my name hoping I would come back to this hotel. I know a little about wine and I left a good wine list in general - if I come back here other people are very few bottles I will can't wait to try. The food at the hotel is great! Each dish is well balanced, seasoned, tastes and looks very creative, and partners are good from start to finish. There are a lot of excellent hard ones, but my favorite is a small slice of ginger-cured beef and rice (paradise) / / cinnamon dessert (incredibly unique flavors and). Not even one here is lacking in the taste and excitement of this dish. My only complaint is that the main course (very small) is that there is too much food - I can’t even finish half of the way out is a bit too full for me. Overall it was a delicate experience and one I won’t forget recently! It is expensive but because it is a Michelin star restaurant level is necessary expenses. Highly recommended.

The last time I went to Seoul in 2018, so I booked the last rice meal of the Seoul trip at Luoyan. The restaurant environment is very quiet. You can see the Nanshan Tower outside the window. I chose the slightly more expensive package and called 6 Korean wine packages. Of course, the meal is not much praise. Creative cuisine with strong Korean characteristics, let's talk about 6 Korean wines, wow ～ very sensational! Especially the small glass of liquor on the 5th, the spicy can't be imported, hahaha ～ was directly replaced with Western-style sweet wine. The store manager also apologized for the "mistake" recommendation of the wine package for a long time. In fact, I am embarrassed myself. After all, it is also considered a liquor apprentice in China. I know... so hot...
