Great food! - Edit
This is a great option for a fully vegan, pet-friendly restaurant. It was a very small space, so maybe not the place for a big group, but you can also order and pickup and eat somewhere else.
Read moreI was sad that gluten/yeast was in all of the dishes on the menu, but I was able to eat the majority of my food and definitely was a better option than any non-vegan place. I got the sunshine bowl and the tofu was amazing, paired with leafy greens that tasted amazing with soy-based mayonnaise.
I was sad they were out of all their desserts by 1:30ish when I got there. I really wanted to try their vegan gluten free selection.
Overall a great spot, especially if you are so not have any gluten intolerance. The food was amazing!!
Pros: Great food, Pet-friendly, Healthy, feel good afterwards, and tastes amazing
Cons: No gluten+yeast-free options, Desserts ran out early, Little seating

My go-to spot in Seoul during my whole semester!!! - Edit
When I first found out about this small spot, I was so excited! I wasn't expecting to find anything vegan in Seoul at first so I was super thrilled that this place was also so close to me (3 minute walk)! At first I tried a few things, going once or twice per week, but I ended my semester by going there literally every single day, sometimes even multiple times a day! My favorite is their eggless salad, their byTOFU wrap, and when they had it, their KFC chicken made with cauliflower (to die for)!! Their baked goods are also super yummy, my favorite is their chocolate chip cookie. I always get their lattes as well (both normal and vanilla are amazing). On top of this, their place is super cute and family-owner, they make you feel at-home and immediately transported to a small kitchen filled with warmth and love. The owners are also the sweetest, they are truly more like friends than anything else! Their love for animals and all creatures is easily seen through the way they treat other humans and animals, as well as all the initiatives they participate in for animal liberation! I miss this restaurant so much, and would highly recommend this as a must-visit for anyone in this area! I can't wait to go back to Seoul just to taste their foods again!!!

ByTofu - Edit
Finally a good concept for a restaurant.
Read moreByTofu has a lot of variety packed into a simple concept. You can choose between sandwiches and wraps for some of the options. The portions are large and filling. Each dish is balanced well and has fresh veggies.
Some of the dishes Im not a fan of. Two of them being the teriyaki bowl (too sweet) and the eggless sandwich (seriously tastes like egg) If you like egg this is a good choice for you. i enjoy the ByTofu wrap, BLT, and banh mi. The baked goods here are great. My favorite is the cookie.
Another plus is this one of the few restaurants in this country that open early. However, they sell out quickly, especially the baked goods.

Small but mighty - Edit
The physical space is really small but the food is amazing! I had the sunrise bowl and it was so filling I paid the extra 500 won for a compostable take out container because I couldn't eat it all.
Read moreI appreciate the intentionality they put into the decor. They promote zero waste living, adopting rather than buying pets, and all around wholesome living vibes.

Cute vegan meals - Edit
The quality of meals are fresh and nice, however the menu itself is not so special. Eggless is one of the most famous but it often sold out so you won’t have random chance to taste it.

my hands down favorite - Edit
I love bytofu! I’ve never been disappointed by anything I’ve ordered there, and these days the bakery options they are offering are so good. I love how they are coming out with more options and they are very receptive to feedback I think as well.
Read moreI’d recommend to order the eggless egg sandwich or the banh mi and the tofu bowl is also amazing!
Pros: lots of great options , fair price , good portion
Cons: small space, sometimes long wait

Just what I needed - Edit
ByTofu is a small restaurant with health oriented vegan options. They style was more Cali American and super delicious!! I had a bowl and sandwich both of which were adequately filling and satisfying. I highly recommend this place if you’re looking for some vegan comfort food (but comfort as in healthy (and healthy as in yummy))
Read morePros: Fully vegan , Great message & fair prices , Lovely customer service
Cons: A bit more expensive than traditional Korean dish, Small so tables can be filled

Hidden Gem - Edit
I call this place a hidden gem because they are off the main streets in the corner. I decided to try for lunch so I got in there as they were opening so that means I got the freshest food of the day and they had a good options that I was interested in trying. After talking to the staff I ended up trying the egg salad. It was a big portion that was fulfilling and flavorful. To my surprise the eggless egg didn’t disappoint either. I also tried the nachos and the vegan cheese sauce was very good. My only grip was I wish they added more dip to the bowl, but other than that this meal was a 5/5.
Read morePros: Quality, Service, Fresh ingredients
Cons: Dip to chip ratio

Delicious salads and a cute shop! My favourite salad shop in Seoul - Edit
This place has only recently come up on Happy Cow and I wish I’d known about it sooner as it has the best salad I’ve had in Seoul. Generous portions, fresh ingredients and a nice calm atmosphere at the shop. It’s a little bit out of the way but It’s worth the walk if you’re in Itaewon. The staff are active and quick to respond on Instagram if you have any questions.
Read morePros: Delicious food! , Staff speak English and are very friendly
