Great place to stop by - Edit
This small restaurant is worth visiting! It's quite small and they have a few tables outside. A lot of vegan restaurants in Korea offer international food, so it was great to find a place where they offer traditional Korean dishes. We had Tteokbokki and Gimbap (we already had something to eat before but we wanted to try the food here anyway). They are really kind people working there and we were glad that we stopped by! I definitely recommend it!

Such great value - Edit
I love this place. Small place with outdoor seating, but covered. Dumplings and fried soy (chicken) are tasty. Kimbap is a steal for the price. Super nice staff so support them.

Not sure what to think - Edit
I was very exited to try the dumplings in here, however, sadly they were out of everything I wanted to order. So I had no other choice than to order gimbap which was entirely tasteless and soy protein which was seriously hard and dried up. I honestly didn’t finish even half of either of those dishes.
Read moreSounds like I was either a bit unlucky or that this place is overrated. I still would like to try those dumplings tough 🥟

All rumors are true - Edit
We went here three times during our nine-days stay in Seoul. The rich tasting dishes are small but also very cheap, so go for one dish if you feel like snacking or put together a meal of two maybe three dishes from the menu. I will highly recommend you try the Spicy Soy Chicken.

Favourite - Edit
My favourite vegan place in Seoul after living here for over 6 months. Excellent prices and options, staff are friendly (and speak English if you need it), it’s perfect. Try the soy chicken, it’s honestly some of the best mock meat I have ever had. For me, the dumplings are also a must as it’s so hard to find veggie ones in Korea.
Read moreI’ve had almost everything on the menu and they’ve never let me down - if you have to go to only one vegan place in Seoul, choose this.

Excellent - Edit
Very nice restaurant, with a translated English menu. To find it you have to enter in a kind of gallery shop, the shop is on the ground level.
Read moreThere are less than 10 seats but so far I was always alone (maybe cause of coronavirus's season). The price are really cheap, 3k wons for the kimbap! You have kimpaps, fried dumpling, udon, ramens etc. I really like trying Korean foods in their vegan versions! It's really good and I can't wait to try again the kimbap. I'll try to taste all the menus before I leave Korea. It's one of my best discovery so far. Everything is vegan and the owner speaks english. I think you can take out. There are also some drinks available. Your order comes very fast!
Pros: All vegan, English menu , Very tasty food, Cheap and fast!

Great vegan street food! - Edit
We stumbled upon this vegan street food stand in almost by accident. I was so excited to be able to enjoy korean street food and be sure it was vegan.
Read moreIt's a food stand which meant we had to sit outside despite it being February, but they had plastic sheeting up and space heaters so it wasn't too cold.
Between the three of us we ordered Tteok-bokki, odeng, tofu gimbap, fried dumplings, fried soy chicken and spicy ramen. All together everything cost less than US$15. And it was SO GOOD! Fresh, spicy, flavourful, filling and cheap- everything you want from street food.
Pros: Delicious, Cheap , Friendly
Cons: Only outside seating

Great place!!! - Edit
We tried the tteokbokki, tofu gimbap and spicy fried chicken and it was all delicious! The servers were so friendly and the food extremely affordable!! Although we were seated outside, there was a windshield, heaters and blankets we could use to keep us warm during winter, which was a nice little touch. We will definately be coming back!!

Warm Service and Great Food. - Edit
The two ladies there were the absolute sweetest. They kept making sure that I was warm enough since the weather was pretty cold and nasty. I loved the food, and I can’t wait to go back and try more things off the menu.
