WynDyn is a fusion restaurant located on the lobby floor in Hotel Riviera Cheongdam, specializing in Chinese, Japanese and Korean cuisines.Along with spacious hall tables, there are many rooms for private dining.The best signature dish is Shark's fin soup. It is so divine and full of healthy flavor with various vegetables that I even add rice in it.Other dishes based on seasonal ingredients are also tasty, especially the seafood dishes.

I think this is the best value for money hotel in Seoul. Rooms are big as per Seoul standards.Some negatives include lack of room service and old fittings and furnishings of the rooms.Still I give it a big 👍. I love the Indian food available in the restaurant. They also have a cosy coffee shop for meetings.
