Authentic dining experience! - Edit
The dining area is lovely and authentic! Did not manage to clarify on all the mains but for the side dishes, all contain alliums except for the nurungi mushroom soup and sweet and sour shrimp. My non-vegetarian friend also enjoys the food there:)

Cute interior and good food - Edit
The restaurant has a very cute interior and is located in insadong. The food is good, they have a lot of options. I really liked the soy bean seasoned chicken. I’ll definitely go back to try other dishes.

Great Vegan Restaurant - Edit
Tried the fried chicken, sweet and sour mushroom with the crispy rice. The fried chicken texture is not what I like, as it’s made of soy, but the taste is great! The sweet and sour mushroom is my top favorite as for now. Definitely will come back to try other dishes!

Lovely casual restaurant in Ikseon Dong - Edit
Excellent food in a lovely hanok with friendly service. Really enjoyed the rice cake dumpling soup (떤만두국) and the jjol myeon (쫄면). I wish there was a location in Vancouver too!

Lovely place - Edit
This place was so nice, and portions so filling between the two of us. The person who served us (the owner?) was so friendly. They have pictures available of all dishes, with captions in English and Korean. No desserts noticed at the moment. A nice peaceful setting.

Big love - Edit
Friendly people and a sweet place with a beautiful inner yard. Very good quality food, definitely worth the price. Also ordered the amazing Kimchi Quesadilla (my fav), but don‘t have a picture of it because we couldn‘t wait to eat it. So yummy! This place deserves support.

Incredible food! - Edit
My partner and I came here twice on our visit to Seoul, it was conveniently 2 minutes from our hotel! The food is so good - my faves were the dumplings and the kimchi quesadilla! But everything we had was really good and large portions. The people who run it are so lovely 🥰 also the setting is lovely with the cute courtyard and old renovated building.

Lovely vegan place! - Edit
Such a wonderful place with lots of options. Run by staff that already worked at maru JaYeonSik Kimbap. Super kind and incredible welcoming!
Read moreThe food was delicious, many different options and sizes on the menu. Prices are very fair. The location is lovely, you can tell they put their heart in it.
Maybe not that easy to find if you’re not explicitly looking for it, but it’s worth a visit. Very calm neighborhood as well. They also have a bigger table for groups!

Authentic Tteok Mandu Soup ! - Edit
The place is quite small but very cute, as it is in a traditional Korean house Hanok. That was really delicious. It really tastes like the non-vegan version. I removed one star because I had to wait at least 5 minutes to get sitted and then 5 minutes to order food (the person seemed very busy to serve other people). I felt a bit ignored actually.

Food reflects price - Edit
Setting is really sweet in an old Hanok, both seating inside and out. Staff is really friendly and helpful showing pictures of food off the menu. Menu is a little limited but that’s okay - would be good to have a few more options always.
Read moreCalifornia rolls are amazing, other portions are v big so be sure to share. Texture of the soy chicken is 🤌🏼
Pros: Setting, Value for money
Cons: Limited menu

Modern Korean food in traditional house - Edit
This restaurant just opened, but it is run by people who have been working in the vegan restaurant scene for a long time! At present, their menu is very similar to another vegan restaurant Maru Jayeonsik Kimbap (most of the staff used to work there before), but this may change over time. The menu currently includes modern Korean dishes, street food, Asian fusion food and even Western-style sandwiches, which have been veganized with mock meat, vegan egg alternatives and more!
Read moreThere are dishes with rice, noodles, dumplings and deep-fried foods. Some dishes definitively are better than others, but it generally tastes okay. My favorite here is probably the fried soy chicken, because it is crispy and has a nicely chewy and stringy texture!
Portion size is quite large and prices are comparably low. If you order from the menu section called "meals 식사", you will get 1-person-dishes. If you get something from the "cooking 요리" section, you will get very large portions that are normally shared among a couple of people.
The restaurant is in a traditional Korean house (hanok 한옥), which has been modernized. There are a couple of different eating areas, e.g. a separate room and a small courtyard in the center. Personally, I find this setting beautiful!
The restaurant is located in a quieter part of Ikseondong (a hip restaurant area), next to the shopping street Insadong.
Pros: taste ok / good (depending on what you get), low prices, friendly staff, beautiful setting
