Good vegan fare! - Edit
The place was well-kept and everything is vegan. I had the fried original mandu (dumplings)—original meant meat-like—, the veggie fried rice with bean sauce, and a non-alcoholic mojito. The fried rice had little soy ham pieces in it, which surprised me but were yummy. All of it was good! Maybe not blow-you-away good, but yummy and filling and so nice to have a vegan option.

Great Asian food! - Edit
I was there today and had a White Soup with Mushrooms (and noodles) as I can't eat spicy at all and it was sooo delicious. Would totally recommend it for anyone!

Good but not great - Edit
This was the first proper vegan meal I had in Korea after being there for days, so I really appreciated not being limited by the menu. Food was tasty and I’d go back, but not life changing.

Not my favourite - Edit
I had the stirfried "meat" with sweet and sour sauce and it was alright, but not my favourite. If you're alone, I can't recommend it since it seems more of a sharing dish. The alcoholic mojito was simply not good

tasty - Edit
I wasn't expecting much. Probably not on the healthy-side but definitely delicious. eggplant dish was spicy yet manageable. Booked a table via catchtable(Korean app). Paying the bill when order is made at the counter is unfamiliar. cons for some people: the spicy eggplant dish is garlicky. aftertaste lingers for a long time

Amazingly flavourful - Edit
I had the veef japchae and the kimchi fried dumplings which were just amazing! Maybe the best vegan food I’ve had in Seoul. Highly highly recommend even if it is more expensive.

We had a nice lunch here. Their mains are shareable but we ended up ordering two of the smaller dishes and shared dumplings and buns.

Best kimchi dumplings - Edit
Had the mapo tofu and the kimchi dumplings. Its a bit expensive but definitely worth it for the taste, place and overall experience. The staff was nice and accommodating.

Tasty Asian Fusion in Itaewon - Edit
Really enjoyed the yuzu tofu salad (will try to recreate it at home) and the fried rice with black bean sauce! The bao didn’t have anything inside so we found them tasteless.

Only an alt.b - Edit
Itaewon vegan spot with a good range of Korean dishes but a bit disappointed in the taste given the relatively higher prices. The aubergine was delicious but needed more vegan meat. The jjangmeon was a little plain.

Awesome food want to come back - Edit
I had food here right after landing. It was amazing the best welcome food someone could hope for. Despite the price of the starter and noodles /rice dishes the portions are very big and everything was sooo tasty! I had a mapu Tofu. Usually I don't like this dish so much but it looked great on the neighbors table so I ordered it and was not disappointed.

Pros: Great food
Cons: Nothing

Amazing pan-Asian vegan food - Edit
This place was amazing! It was pretty busy when we arrived so we sat at the bar and ordered the mapo tofu, aubergines (original, not spicy) and the original dumplings. Everything was great, in particular the aubergines, and I think we'd probably end up ordering exactly the same if we came here again.
Read moreWe ordered it just with rice rather than with fake meat and this made it really good value for the quality of the meal. There were even a couple of bits of fake meat in with each dish so we didn't feel like we'd missed out trying it.
In summary, this was a really great restaurant with attentive service and a nice terrace that is lovely in warm weather. The food was great and I'd definitely recommend coming here if you're in Seoul.
Pros: Aubergine, Good value for the quality of the meal

Fully vegan & good! - Edit
The food was tasty and just our style. Our kids are happy to have “Asian” food in general and this place has lots of good options. The prices are really decent compared to other vegan restaurants. They also provide small plates making it easy to share meals and have a good balanced meal!
Read moreWe ordered the black bean noodles, fried rice, kimchi dumplings, buns, sides of rice, and the dessert of cinnamon glazed buns. Nothing went to waste because it was all just so tasty!
Service was also pretty fast and friendly!
Pros: Fully vegan, Good prices , Lots of options

Extremely delicious - Edit
The food here is really delicious! I love the options they have on their menu and I’ll definitely go back again to try more of the dishes. I ordered the spicy soup with noodles and mushroom which is probably my favorite dish so far. I also ordered the fried dumpling salad, which was okayish (only reason why I’m giving them a four star). It was bit dry in my opinion. The sauce it came with was delicious but the stuffing was dry. And I ordered the Mabo-tofu which is definitely one of the best mabo-tofu’s I have had in Seoul. We shared this between two people and it was more than enough for us. I’m definitely going to try the other dishes and will recommend this place to everyone!

Great K-Chinese food that just happens to be vegan - Edit
I love the food here and the management tries hard to make sure all ingredients are vegan. This is one of the best place to drag nonvegan friends. Hard not to love Alt.a

Lovely fancier vegan food - Edit
A little fancier and stylish than most places in Seoul, but still good prices. Lots of Asian dishes to choose from. Staff at this restaurant and the other branch in Dosan were all incredibly kind to me. Kitchen seems to close at 21:00.
Read morePros: Great vibe and very friendly, Delicious fancy food , Positively different to other places in the area
Cons: Menu has no photos of food, but we have Happy Cow

Best food I tasted in Seoul, very gentle staff. - Edit
We found this place by coincidence when we walked by and since we were already looking for a good vegetarian place it was heaven to eat here! Really nice dishes, a fusion of different kitchens. After diner the staff gave us free vegan products to try, very very nice. I would visit this restaurant a lot if I could 😉.
Read morePros: Very nice food, Well priced , Cozy atmosphere and nice staff

Lovely experience - Edit
ALT.a provides delicious food for very reasonable prices while delivering the atmosphere of an almost fine-dining establishment. I had the spicy tuna canapés, fried rice with ham and veggies, and cinnamon doughnuts with cane sugar and dalgona. I had jasmine tea with this and would really recommend this as its refillable, and cuts through the greasiness of the food excellently. The staff also speak English and the menu is in both Korean and English.

Delicious - Edit
Lovely vegan restaurant a short walk from Itaewon station. Ordered the kimchi fried dumplings, mapo tofu over rice, and a hoegarden beer.
Read moreI loved everything about this meal - the dumplings had the perfect amount of spice, were nice and crunchy, and the provided soy sauce just amplified their flavour ten times.
The mapo tofu was sooooooo good. It has that perfect Szechuan pepper mouth numbingness you want from the meal.
Front of house staff all spoke good English.
Pros: All vegan menu , Delicious and spicy

Really good vegan Korean food - Edit
I love this place as it has really good Korean veganised dishes that taste delicious. The only thing is that it is a bit more expensive if you go for dishes that have alt meat in them, which I guess is because it is very expensive still but nonetheless it's a bit pricier..
