It's been a while - Edit
It was probably around 2007 when I first visited this restaurant. Back then the only available seatings are on the floor and you'd have to take off your shoes. Now,it's all changed: no more sitting on the floor and you don't have to take off your shoes. The menu has also been simplified. One thing that I noticed was that the flavor was not as strong as it used to be and that's a good thing.

Vegan Korean dishes - quick and simple - Edit
I have been here 3 times now. I love the food but they increased prices around 2k starting this September and the service is sometimes not good that’s why 4 stars
Read moreI had the sweet & spicy Korean chicken (without side dishes unfortunately) was lukewarm but delicious, the spicy beef soup (amazing) and the Spicy chicken with lettuce and sides (amazing)
Free wifi and water. Nice atmosphere
You sit on the ground. Like I said it’s sad that they increased prices (Bibimbap and most dishes now 12k instead of 10)
You can buy some products there

Must visit when in Seoul - Edit
One of my favorite restaurants in Seoul. I like the sweet sour "pork" (baked muchrooms and - I think - soy chunks) and the kimchi mandu best.

The classic - Edit
Osegyehyang is one of Seoul's first vegan restaurants, and it is still one of the first places people go to when visiting Seoul. Located in Insadong, this restaurant is in a key area of the city and a standard vegan place for Koreans and tourists.
Read moreThey offer mainly Korean cuisine and have veganized the most common Korean dishes. Thus, it is nice to eat here if you're looking for a taste of classic Korean food but without meat or seafood.
15 years ago, when there were no other vegan options in Seoul, I used to come here almost every day. Now, there are many more vegan restaurants in the city and more exciting food options. Still, I occasionally eat here when I have a craving for a certain Korean dish that I cannot make at home.
Over the years, the menu and the taste has almost not changed, although there used to be a more generous use of different ingredients... Food still generally tastes okay.
The restaurant is located at the end of an alley that can be hard to find if you're unfamiliar with Insadong's maze-like alley structure. The interior has been redone recently, so there are only Western-style tables and chairs. You now place an order via the touch screen on your table. The atmosphere varied from friendly to unfriendly, rushed, and distanced. #Veganuary

Friendly workers - Edit
Plenty of options- a bit in the pricey side. Also a bit of a mixed bag- some things were good other things were kind of meh.

Great variety, fast service - Edit
This place is hopping, and for good reason! You order on a screen at your table, and most dishes have English labels (all have photos). We ate there twice and I loved the mushroom rolls, "steamed outer leaves of greens with soybean paste and sesame," hot pot, bulgogi, the banchan, and the fried eggs! They also served us free Solomon seal tea (only in winter), which was very nice.
Read morePros: Huge variety, Fast service, Good prices

They veganized the food I had growing up - Edit
Common Korean food in vegan versions. Instead of leaving out non-vegan ingredients, they are replaced with vegan alternatives.

Good tofu soup and dumplings - Edit
I ordered the tofu soup with garlic and onion. It was tasty but my only complaint was that it was a bit on the salty side from my palate. (I eat a fairly low sodium diet fwiw) The spices were on point though. The pang chan were good/yummy. The kimchee dumplings were well done. Overall, i was pleased with the meal. Just wish i had more of an appetite to try more!
Read morePros: Many options, Authentic flavors
Cons: The soup was a bit on the salty side

Just ok - Edit
I’m happy to have found some vegan Korean food quickly and easily after arriving in Seoul, but the food was just ok, not amazing. We actually thought we had gone to the wrong place because there are a lot of vegan places in the area according to Happy Cow and we thought maybe we had accidentally walked into one of the less well reviewed restaurants; it didn’t seem like the place we were in justified all the high star reviews. But it was ok. I had the tofu stew and enjoyed it.

Pros: Vegan Korean food
Cons: Slightly disappointing , Supreme Master TV

Nice in general but the food left more to expect - Edit
We’ve had this place recomended to us and decided to pop by. The area is super nice and the restaurant is very authentic. However, the food was a bit of a disappointment. We hade the bibimbap and the bulgogi and both of them was not good in comparison to what we’d had so far.

Very good food and quite a large selection. The serving of the food was really quick and we had a lovely evening there. During the wintertime, there are free refills of Solomon tea which tastes amazing.

Veganised Korean food - Edit
It's awesome to have this fully vegan option and there are many Korean dishes here that you won't find veganised anywhere else. That being said, it was far from the best food we had in Seoul and it was poor value for money. The fried dumplings are 10/10 though.

Meilleur restaurant vegan de Seoul - Edit
Restaurant entièrement vegan et dédié au veganisme avec une petite épicerie. Énormément de choix de plats Coréens avec des options épicées ou non, oignons ou non, et les prix sont très raisonnables!
Read moreJ'y ai mangé 3 fois. La première fois j'ai pris des tteotbokis taille S et c'était vraiment très généreux comme portion! Attention épicé 😉 La seconde fois j'ai pris le porc vegan, cuisiné avec une sauce sucrée, qui était servi avec des bankchan, et un oeuf vegan, bluffant! La troisième fois j'ai pris une soupe à la pâte de haricot, servie avec des bankchan, et des dumplings au kimchi. Tout était très bon, plein de saveurs et généreux ! Je recommande vivement !
Un des membres du staff parle bien l'anglais.
Pros: Beaucoup de choix de plats Coréens , Prix abordables , Plats savoureux

Tasty food - Edit
If you want to try Korean food this is the place to go. You have several options (too many that can't decide) and everything looks tasty. They serve you the food with the extra Korean side dishes. Staff are really friendly and helped me with my order as I order too much without knowing so he was kind to explain and adapt

Favourite restaurant in Seoul! - Edit
This was my favourite lunch/dinner place in Seoul! The menu had a lot of variety and I especially loved the black bean noodles. If we visit Seoul again, I'd love to try more of the menu!
Read moreIt was great being able to eat Korean food, but knowing that it's all vegan. And the place seems to be authentic as there were a few locals eating in the restaurant too!
