Cheonghwawon Daehangno Branch is a Chinese and Taiwanese restaurant near Hyehwa Station in Jongno, Seoul. We shared shumai, fried eggplant, and beef stir-fried noodles, with the crisp yet tender eggplant standing out most. Verdict: a satisfying pick for a pre- or post-show meal or a date in Daehangno.
