Bueno, pero no todo vegano - Edit
Me pedí una pasta que estaba bastante buena, y tenía muchas opciones.
Read moreLa señora que lleva la tienda tiene una personalidad muy curiosa y me cayó bastante bien.
Pese a todo, no es vegano por una opción. Eso me molesta porque en todos lados pone "Go vegan" pero utiliza queso en ese plato. Por eso no le pongo 5 estrellas, pero todo lo demás perfecto.

It pains me to write this - Edit
The food was great but the service was objectively awful. This is a single person run operation but the owner is clearly extremely stressed and projects that on to the customers. She speaks excellent English which was very helpful but... We tried to be helpful by stacking our plates before leaving and were announced to be disrespectful to the entire place before we left. While waiting to pay, we were effectively screamed at to go to the card machine as if we'd already been told to go there multiple times.
Read morePros: food was excellent.
Cons: prepare to be yelled at.

Vegan lunch - Edit
Cute little restaurant offering all vegan meals (except for one dish with cheese). It is hard to find vegan korean dishes in the city, so this is the place to go to! The place is run by a lovely elderly lady and the food was great.

Cute restaurant with Vegan/Vegetarian Option in Gyedong! - Edit
I liked this restaurant promotes their vegan/vegetarian menu outside! It is owner’s style of taste restaurant which is good to have own personality. She makes all the side dishes too. And it is very traditional soy sauce marinated. Food is humble and simple! However, the owner chef’s attitude is not proper as service business person which people can feel very rude and annoyed.

5 stars!!! - Edit
Can’t give 5 stars because the app won’t allow restaurants not fully vegan/vegetarian to receive higher than 4 stars. But a majority of the menu is vegan. This place is an absolute gem. If you want a true personal and wholesome experience and home cooked style meal, this place is a perfect choice. Mananim, the owner, is awesome and runs the entire restaurant on her own. I humbly ask for patrons to show patience and kindness towards your host, she does it all and deserves some love back

Quirky place with lovely food - Edit
It’s very conveniently located near the MMCA (National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art) Seoul and the Gyeongbokgung Palace, in a lovely little side street with galleries and little shops. The old lady running this quirky little restaurant is super nice; they’re all her own recipes and the food is great. About 10 vegan dishes and 4 non-vegan options; a balance I’d love to see in any other restaurant! Most of the food is Korean but there’s one pasta dish too. There were only 5 tables but we were the only guests; might take a bit longer perhaps if all tables are taken.

Quirky and very tasty - Edit
Chef is a funny lady who tells it like it is. She’s a one woman band, doing it all. Bipimbap was tasty, fried Mushrooms were delicious, all organic and non-GMO. Our Omni friend enjoyed her non-vegan dish too.

Not worth the money. The bibimbap looked like some leftovers. - Edit
the rice had very little toppings. The portion was small. The dish was very basic. Very little banchan.

Homemade is great! - Edit
There are a lot of vegan options in the menu with home made ingridients.
Read moreWe had the Bibimbap and the spicy rice cake.
Although the portion of the Bibimbap is a bit small, but the sauce and the ingridients are all very delicious. The rice cake is chewy and the sauce is very tasty.
Homemade is the best.
I will definitely go again!!!
Pros: Lots of vegan options, Homemade
Cons: Shop a bit messy

Mostly vegan! - Edit
I love visiting the neighborhoods near the palace so I was happy to find this place. The lady was so nice! I tried the mung bean dish as well as the spicy mushroom and bok choy noodles. Both good.

Mixed feelings - Edit
We had an odd moment when we went into the restaurant.
Read moreThe owner shooed us to the entrance and yelled at us to clean our hands.
We were the only foreigners that entered the place, and she never asked that from the locals that entered after us and didn't sanitised their hands (made us feel a bit odd).
Any how, the food was decent. The noodles weren't good, but I really liked the spicy mushroom soup.
This place have a lot of vegan options which is really great!

Close to Gyeongbokgung - Edit
Small restaurant serving mostly vegan food (4 non vegan options, that my non vegan friends said were not very tasty).
Read moreI had the spicy rice cakes with mushrooms, it was ok, nothing to rave about.
It’s a good option if you’re around Gyeongbokgung Palace, and the neighbourhood itself is pretty cute to walk around.

Korean homemade food - Edit
There are several vegan options on the menu and the owner/cook is familiar with veganism. She's super nice and accommodating and was happy to make changes when we asked for not much spice on our rice cake dish. We loved it!
