Friendly owner, great smoothies

We enjoyed everything we ate. It was our first time trying air-fried veggie chicken. We talked with the owner for a while and she was very sweet. The prices were a little higher than some other places, but she was very ingredient conscious and the food was freshly prepared.

Pros: Smoothies, Nice, bright space, Friendly owner

Personal touch

After four months in Busan I'm sad to leave Sofia and her colleagues. Jack and the Beanstalk is a very special place in Busan. A little gem that makes you feel home away from home.

The food is delicious and there are many options so you won't get bored. Also, you can buy a small selection of organic and vegan food to take home like nuts, cereal and chocolate.

Honest and Yummy dishes!

We can meet here not only friendly staff but also honest and yummy dishes. The chef, Sofia, who is very energetic, kind, and positive, has lots of experience and much infos about vegan recipes. Furthermore, she always takes so much care of ingredients and hygiene she use only organic ones and clean them with vinegar. Also she doesn't spare any ingredients. When I ate vegan Ramen here, I was surprised that it had lentils which is very expensive in Korea. In addition, she use organic and best ingredients. The price is reasonable, and the traffic is very easy to find~^^
It is my best restaurant I ever visited~

Pros: Full vegan foodies, Organic and clean ingredients, friendly staff

the best of the best

The dishes here are amazing based on organic ingredients and taste.
It is not loving hut although it sells some loving hut products. Sophia who is the owner of this restaurant makes sauces for burger and other dishes by herself. I esp loved tufu lentil steak and burger. Smoothies are wonderful too. The staff here are so friendly and kind. Wonderful,amazing and delicious place.

Pros: excellent food, organic and eco friendly ingredients, friendly staff

The Best Food In Busan!

This place was incredible! They make the BEST burger I have had since going vegan ten years ago. It is easy to find, cozy, and the staff are wonderfully friendly! They really care about the quality of their food and its impact on the environment, and so if you want a healthy place to grab a bite where the food tastes AMAZING than this is your place.

The food isn't cheap, but nor is it expensive- they use GMO-free and organic ingredients and so you are paying for quality. Well worth it.

Pros: Great Staff, Delicious + Healthy Food, Cozy Atmosphere

Cons: Moderate Price (but worth it!!)

A Necessary Stop

It's actually just a Loving Hut under a different name, but they have a few unique offerings. Most of the dishes are comprised of the standard Loving Hut products (vegefood) and even coke in Loving Hut brand wrapping paper, but I'd say they smoothies/lemonade (which is actually just a smoothie) are certainly worth checking out. Obviously, if you are a vegan or vegetarian in Busan, you must eat here. It's nothing spectacularly innovative, but you'll enjoy it and you can fill up ok guilt-free food in the comfort of lovely decor and sweet staff.

Brilliant! Great burger!

Not much to say other than friendly staff and good food in a laid-back atmosphere. I had the burger. Was a little dubious when it arrived due to it having apple in it but it was delicious. Next time I'll get two!

bright, welcoming and tasty

The location is easy to find. At first sight it seems like a colorful vegan snackbar, but as having a look at the menu (copy in eng and huge banner in front of the door in kor and eng) it actually is a restaurant. The atmosphere is cozy and invites to hang around. The menu provides basic dishes, which are served nicely decorated. We had a burger, salad (6500 won) and brown rice with "meat" (8000 won). They were delicious. The staff was lovely. We recommend this place and will come back ourselves.

Pros: delicous, clean, friendly

Cons: no restroom, -

What a Gem!

We truly enjoyed eating here. The staff doesn't speak much English but they are absolute sweethearts!!!
Even if you don't speak Korean they will try to find a way to answer any questions you may have. They were so friendly and welcoming.

Everything in the store is in Korean but if you ask for an English menu, they will hand you a printed copy of what they offer so you can browse (no photos of the food though).

The front of the store is kind of a mini-mart. They offer a lot of imported & local vegan goodies for sale! After 6 months in Korea, you bet I stocked up on the chocolate bars! It's a little pricey but well worth it, if you've been junk food deprived and a little homesick.

Oh, I almost forgot...the location! On our trip we visited 3 vegan restaurants and this was the easiest one to locate.
You hop on thee green line; the stop is Geumnyeonsan station. Choose exit number 5 and walk straight--two blocks. On the second block, turn left... you will see a 7-11 on your right after walking a few meters...turn right into that alley and you will see a sign with the word "vegan" amidst a bunch of Hangul. You can't miss it!

NOW...on to the food:

We were pleasantly surprised that the food was so good. We ordered the pizza, the spicy "beef" and rice, and a burger.

The veggie burger was delicious!!! The flavors were so refreshing. The pizza was a hit with my Omni husband and the spicy "beef" was my personal favorite. It was basically a Bibimbap without the egg and real meat. Lots of flavors & very filling.

Pros: excellent food, 100% vegan

Cons: No restroom (but you can go next door)
