Tasty

We had the deep fried enoki mushrooms and the spicy eggplant (lots of garlic!), both very nice and tasty. Service was friendly and English speaking, food served really fast.

Best Jjambbong Ever

I only ate one dish but it was amazing. It really was one of the best 짬뽕 I have ever had in korea. And I've had hundreds. It's one of my favorite Korean Chinese dishes.

Pros: Very friendly staff., Beautiful outdoor seating.

Large serving sizes

A good choice for an “easy” meal in Seoul. Wide menu choice, though primarily mock meat based and the staff speak fluent English. Note that the rice & noodle menu is half the price of the other menus and is still a large serving size! The “mains” are quite expensive for Seoul, we got three “rice & noodle” choices for two people and really we could’ve just had two and it be a full meal.

Pros: Large serving sizes, Cute decor, English speaking staff

Cons: Mock meat based menu, Relatively expensive , Feels tourist oriented

Tasty

Came here cause saw all the amazing reviews. Definitely agree that the spicy shrimp and dinner are great! Serving sizes are big and super fast service. Not gonna lie but the spicy eggplant was a bit of a let down.

Pros: Speed, Spicy prawn

Cons: Spicy eggplant

Don’t miss it!

By far one of our favourite spots visiting Seoul. Delicious food, warm service and can’t recommend more if you’re visiting Itaewon 🙌

One of the best vegan restaurants

So many of my vegan friends in Seoul have recommended this restaurant and I now know why after trying their food!!! The food was really really good and the owners were friendly as well. Please make sure to try Menbosha(fried "shrimp" bread) because I was literally shocked after the first bite. I'm definitely visiting here again while in Korea.

Loved our meal!

We ordered the black bean noodles and mapo tofu. Both were flavorful and at a reasonable price point!

So YUMMY!

I ordered mapo tofu and fried tofu with 3 things vegetables. Both were BOMB! By far one of the best vegetarian food i’ve had in Busan and Seoul.
They have break time from 3-5 PM. But they started putting out the “Break Time” sign before 2.30. So if you wanna eat here, it’s better to come here at 2ish max.
Really recommend this restaurant to my fellow vegetarian/ vegan buddies.

Amazing food & service

The food was so good we ate here twice (would have come back many more times if possible)!

The menu has a ton of different options, you can’t go wrong with any of them. Prices are really good as well. I’m sad I didn’t get more photos of the food here.

Sometimes I crave some dishes I had from here and it kills me that I have to travel across the globe to eat here again 😭

Surprisingly inexpensive for great experience

Nice location, well decorated, that catches the sun well and is not too far from Itaewon station and lots of bars, without being in the middle of them.

Staff really pleasant, food arrived quickly and was surprisingly good for around ₩23,500 (US$17.40) per person. We were two people sharing one starter and one main, plus steamed buns and drinks, and that was more than enough as portions were reasonably sized.

Flavours really well balanced, with a lot to enjoy. Steamed buns were fresh, dumplings excellent too. Would definitely come again.

Nice restaurant

So many options, also spicy and non spicy food. Starter and Desserts are available. Stuff is really friendly. And food is really good!

They sadly can't remove the onions from the soup if you ask. But still a very good restaurant. Can only recommend it. I tried the dessert it is not that sweet for people who don't like too much sweetness.

Pros: Only plant based food, A lot of options, Desserts are available
