The Parkview at The Shilla Seoul 서울신라호텔 더 파크뷰

Sashimi at the seafood station keeps a texture rarely found at a buffet, and the snow crab (daege) is stocked generously enough to eat your fill. Among the hot dishes, the steak is worth taking slowly, and the grilled Patagonian toothfish (mero-gui) comes out rich and tender. The spread covers Korean, Chinese and Western cooking without padding the count, though vegetables are limited. Desserts end on a Mont Blanc and a smooth latte. Beer is included, soft drinks cost extra and there is no soju. Prices are high even by Seoul hotel-buffet standards.
