Yu Yuan at Four Seasons Hotel Seoul, Maintaining Its Michelin 1-Star Rating

A video tasting various à la carte dishes at the Chinese restaurant Yu Yuan in Four Seasons Hotel Seoul in Gwanghwamun.

Yu Yuan is a Chinese restaurant inside Four Seasons Hotel Seoul in Gwanghwamun. The meal consists of ordering several à la carte dishes and presents a style of cuisine slightly different from Korean-style Chinese food.

Taste notes from the video

The seasoning is well balanced, the wood ear mushrooms have a pleasantly springy texture, and the pork jowl's richness pairs well with the sweet sauce. The wok-fried prawns have a pronounced shrimp flavor and come in a generous portion, while the hot-and-sour soup is quite sour. The braised tofu is soft with a subtle truffle aroma, and the rockfish pairs well with scallions, cilantro, and soy sauce.
