Aria 아리아

Aria is a hotel buffet restaurant inside The Westin Josun Seoul in Sogong-dong, Jung-gu, Seoul. It is 250m from Euljiro 1-ga Station. The menu centers on quality seafood and meat, lamb ribs, snow crab, lobster, and sweet shrimp sashimi among the highlights, with a deliberate strategy of concentrating on individual dish quality rather than inflating the total number of options. The cooking style emphasizes clean flavors that let ingredients speak for themselves without excessive seasoning. The breakfast French toast melts in the mouth with remarkable softness, and the Sanuki udon broth carries a rich bonito fragrance. Dinner brings grilled hangjeongsal and fresh seafood to the forefront, while seasonal shaved-ice desserts ordered tableside, corn, persimmon, and hongsi varieties, draw consistent enthusiasm. The dessert lineup overall holds to a high standard, and the snow crab curry is a menu item frequently singled out for praise. The restaurant sees frequent use for family gatherings and year-end celebrations, and its smaller footprint compared to other major hotel buffets creates a relatively quieter dining environment. Staff are generally attentive, though service consistency may vary across different shifts. Limited parking availability near the hotel is a practical consideration to keep in mind.
