Not open

We arrived around 6.30pm but it was closed. We'd been travelling all day and was excited to eat some vegan food but unfortunately we couldn't.

Cons: Closure times are wrong or inconsistent

Hi. Where is this place? I saw the sign and went into the building but it led up to a clothing store and a dark floor above it.

Closed both evenings i tried to visit

I dislike giving anything less than five stars, in light of other people's excellent reports of delicious meals here, but the inconsistency of whether Dajeon is open during stated hours of operation is frustrating and disappointing. I had very busy all-day itineraries researching Buddhist temples during my 4 days in Busan and outer-lying areas, and was so looking forward to dinner here-- one evening at 5:30 pm, another at 7:30, but it was closed for business each night i trudged up that dark staircase--the sign saying they are (normally) open "5:00 - 8:30" but followed each night by the message "Finishing materials early."
And forget trying to find anything vegan in the street-side foodstalls and restaurants in bustling Seomyeon.

I did enjoy two really delicious vegan meals at the very popular, veg friendly (ask for their vegan menu) Tae Tae Tae restaurant 3.5 blocks NNE of Dajeon, very close to Seomyeon Metro station (on SE side; look for their hot pink sign at the end of a tiny lane).

I hope to visit Busan again in the future and maybe will luck out next time in trying to get a meal at Dajeon. Meanwhile, I strongly suggest that anyone wanting to eat here call in advance to see if they're open and for how long.

Cons: Inconsistent hours--call first.

Cosy cafe with good food

It seems the cafe is just run by one lady. It’s a little tricky to find, keep going up the staircase until you get to the roof then it’s the first door on the right. Food was quick and tasty! Small menu but decent variety.

Banger playlist

Delicious food, affordable prices (menu for 2 was 16.000 won per person), cozy atmosphere. Good variety in the food, side dishes tasted fresh. Also I loved the music that was playing, all the bangers from the 2000's (Nelly, Kelly Clarkson, Beyoncé).

Good food for fair price

Nice freshly prepared food, conveniently located in the city center but a bit hidden so watch out for the sign😉

The amount of reviews speaks for itself

The food is delicious but a bit pricier. Usually a lot of foreigners are here because of the location in seomyeon. The owner works hard and cooks great food. Sometimes closes early or takes off the whole day. Definitely get the shared meal if your with someone.. you can try many different vegan Korean foods!

Homely hidden gem

Delicious vegan food in a homely setting, with only one very hospitable lady working. We had dumplings, vegan chicken and vegan steak. Each meal was delicious and exceeded our expectations. Side dishes were provided as extras which were also very tasty. I would return to this cafe if I ever return to Busan!

Pros: Vegan , Many options

Cons: Difficult to locate , On 4th floor up flights of stairs

Best restaurant in town

Cute place with many dishes to choose from. My favorite was the ramen with dumplings. I have been there almost every day during my week in Busan.

Great Korean Food Experience

We had the Set for 2 and it was really good.
It could have been more seasoned (especially the soup and tofu), but thats just my taste.
The woman was alone and prepared the meal herself. I heard the microwave in the kitchen and was a little bit afraid that our dishes wouldn't be fresh. But they were.
The service was nice and friendly.

Pros: Affordable, Delicious, Nice and cozy atmosphere

Cons: Microwave, Missed seasoning

Great Korean vegan food

We ordered the set meal for two and it was fantastic and affordable (15,000 each). It’s so great to be able to try all the Korean food and know that everything is vegan. It was closed the first night we were in Busan but we went back the second night and it was open. We will be going back again!

Pros: Great Korean food, Good value for money , Affordable

Cons: Hard to find, Lights not working on the stairs up to the restaur

全素點拌飯

餐廳在頂樓加蓋,從外觀上看不出有四樓,看到綠色招牌看起來很老舊的房子爬樓梯到四樓就到了。

全素只能點拌飯,點餐前可先跟老闆娘確認。星期四來用餐,另外兩組都是外國人,沒有亞洲面孔。餐點大份好吃,推薦。

Affordable and Delicious Korean Food

This restaurant is run by one woman and is located on the top floor of a building right in the city center.
The menu wasn’t that huge but the food totally made up for that. It was so delicious the first time that I actually came back immediately the next day to try even more of the menu!

The only slight dissatisfaction I had was firstly the furniture, which was slightly out of place and secondly the music that was playing - a 2010s American Pop playlist - which made the vibe kind of strange.

But if you aren’t bothered by such thing I would definitely recommend you checking out this vegan restaurant!

Pros: Delicious Food, Friendly Owner, Affordable

Cons: Furniture, Music

Delightful Vegan Experience!

I opted for the menu and a blueberry smoothie at this vegan restaurant. The food was incredibly tasty, and it was wonderful to experience authentic Korean flavors in vegan form. While the dishes were a highlight, the lack of atmosphere was a bit disappointing; however, we were likely the only ones there due to an impending typhoon evening. Despite that, the culinary experience was fantastic, showcasing the best of vegan Korean cuisine.

Pros: Vegan menu

Great Korean vegan meal

The restaurant was open (we went on June 28, 2023) - and happy we took a chance to find it. Look at the photos someone else posted here earlier and you will find it at the rooftop. Great food, not expensive for European standards and so good to have a great (and large) dish after so many snack evenings since we didn't trust the food. Go there! We had the full menu (15K won each) and worth every won. Smoothies were great too.

We went again the next day for another meal (the wheat 'meat' meal) and loved it again!

餐點非常美味

釜山西面站7號出口,步行約莫十分鐘,餐廳在四樓,沒有電梯。
今天吃飯的最後點餐時間是晚上七點半(可吃到八點半),每個時段最後點餐時間不相同,可以再確認一下。

餐點非常美味😋是VEGAN(五辛素)為主的餐點,不確定是否能去除五辛,可以問問老闆~

第一次前往時沒發現,但其實就在眼前😂只是第一次遇到需要自己爬上四個樓層的餐廳,所以非常的自我懷疑是不是走錯了😅

Pros: 餐點美味, 純素VEGAN👍👍👍, 飲料好喝

Cons: 位置有點微妙, 只有樓梯沒有電梯

Nice

I enjoyed my meal here, though generally found it a little standard and on the plain side. But still, it was nice! Particularly enjoyed the kimchijeon

Best Traditional meal! 2 person menu is a must!

Tldr; greatest traditional style vegan restaurant, everything was delicious, plentiful, fresh and clean.

Finally, a vegan Korean restaurant that serves the traditional full table meal, with all the sides, that actually tastes good and is clean/hygienic.

We've been tricked a few times by this website, and we dreaded going here, fearing we'd get another horror show. Thankfully this place deserves all the praise.

This is another "one woman show" restaurant, and this one seems to be running flawlessly by the owner. She manages to keep everything clean, even though the place is quite spacious.

There were many vegan options to choose from, and the menu needs some clarity, because if not for the great review by "winecoop" posted here, we would have missed the full table meal.
The menu meal which states more than 2 people actually means 2 and more. So we picked that.

It included a main dish of bulgogi style wheat meat, a kimchi fried pancake, tofu slices, fried dumplings lotus steamed rice and some small sides and soup.

The wheat bulgogi was divine, and I'd honestly get a double serving of it next time. Lotus rice was the best we tried. The pancake was great, finally one that was not deep fried and soggy from oil. Good dumplings, delicious and fresh sides. Really enjoyed the sour perilla leaves. Soup was great.

We ate to our hearts content and were very satisfied. Drinks were also very good. I tried a sweet potato latte and my wife had a fruit smoothie.

We wanted to return again, but the operating times never flowed well with our schedule.
It sometimes closes before if she runs out of supplies, so make sure to get here mid operating times or maybe contact by phone.

The best traditional style home cooking restaurant. It's just great all around, and would recommend it to anyone who wants a vegan version of classic Korean dishes or just to have a good meal.

Pros: Awesome food, Good drinks, Hygienic
