Comida vegana en el templo

Muy amable la atención de las voluntarias. No nos cobraron por la comida, estaba buena y nutritiva. Muchas gracias!

Pros: Gratis, Vegano, Buena atención

Great Experience

The food is very affordable and well-presented but it's not the tastiest Korean food you'll ever eat, especially in comparison to some of the other great vegan food on offer in Seoul. It's still worth eating for the experience though, amazing setting and service!

Simple but wholesome

Rice with cabbage, greens and a soup. Free! The place is the building near the car park. I just walked up and joined the queue. All friendly

Pros: Wholesome, Filling, Free

Un très bon plan

Demander au bureau d'information pour être dirigé vers la cantine. Les ajhummas font la queue dès 11h20 (pour une ouverture à 11h30). Le service est rapide et la nourriture est bonne.

Pros: "Free lunch"

Very beautiful temple

Go into their office and there will be a lady sitting behind a receptionist desk on your right, then ask for a "sshik-pon". The canteen is located near the carpark. My meal was simple but wholesome. The temple itself is very beautiful.

Free Buddhist Style Veggie Food

I arrived 1215 on a Sunday. They close at 1230. The food ran out, therefore, there was a longer wait.

The food was decent quality. I had rice with kimchee and a curry. It was free, so no complaints.

Pros: Free.

Simple and satisfying meal, opposite COEX. 奉恩寺

Simple and yet satisfying meal at 香積院。Free meal on the first day here, from hearts of selfless giving, paid with gratitude, as there was a prayer event going on.

I came again on the second and third day and ONLY 2000 won per person. Need to purchase the lunch coupon at the office on the right side after the main entrance, at 法王樓. There is an ATM machine just besides the office.

So far, I’ve not seen any garlic, leek or onion being used, but I was told that there is a possibility even with temple food in Korea. Many of the dishes are spicy though.

In summary, we eat what we are served, like in the army. :)
