8. 5/10 Great food and staff - Edit
Updated review
Read moreBest 'fast food' in Seoul!!?
The chilli cheese fries are addictive it's like they put some special powder that makes your mouth water and want more and more, the wrap and burger are very good as well as the cauli wings it'd been too long.
The 'African peanut stew' is slightly diff to what I'm used to from this style with the cauliflower seeming like a different choice making it feel slightly more Indian potentially, as well as it not being nutty enough.
Good vibes and nice staff but deserts don't stick out or blow me away.
Would love if they did extravagant milkshakes (I miss them and I feel they'd fit perfectly here) .
Old review
They have nice filling tasty portions. I had the mushroom burger and the chilli cheese fries both very nice, very busy but staff were accommodating.

So reliable - Edit
I love this place. One of the only spots in Seoul where you can get good vegan savory food. My fave is the spaghetti and meatballs. But their sandwiches are great too. Wonderful matcha latte. Also custom ordered my birthday cake here and it was SO cute

Cozy and comforting - Edit
Went there several months ago and still look back on it fondly.
Read moreThis restaurant has a warm and inviting atmosphere. I tried the pasta and the chia pudding, and both were tasty. The cheese on the pasta was good and it was a nice touch. The meatballs were good and they were well-seasoned.
I hope I can visit again someday :)

Overrated - food used to be good a few years back - Edit
Ive been disappointed with the food at this place. The tofu wrap has no tofu on one half and they had to give us tofu on a plate. The ratatouille is just tomato paste from a can and some veggies. There was no flavor on the ratatouille. They need to update the menu and come up with tasty options. Did I mention that they’re on the pricey side? I made a similar post on ig and they restricted my account so they are aware that the food is mediocre. I really hope they revamp their menu and become one of the best vegan restaurant in Seoul again.

My place to go in Itaewon - Edit
Itaewon has a street with six (!) vegan restaurants in it, which is absolutely unique in Seoul. Plant Cafe & Kitchen was the first one I tried in Itaewon and it turned out to be my to go place. I loved the peaceful atmosphere, the staff, the spacious seating and the varied menu. The Plant Cafe serves burgers, salads, curry, stew, cake and more.
Read moreBased on the review of another Happy Cow user I first tried the "African peanut stew" and it was delicious. Rich in taste, varied in vegetables, high in protein and low in price (your exchange rate may vary, but if you exchange euro for won, you're a rich person in Korea right now). The butter beans and pumpkin rice dish is just as good and filling, perfect for winter. I also tried one of the wraps, but I couldn't finish the whole thing and had to ask for a doggy bag (upon which the staff told me they also can't finish the entire wrap).
The matcha latte and smoothies are also very good. Add to this the low price, ample seating and you'll understand why Plant Cafe & Kitchen became my to go place in Itaewon.

Delicious and super friendly - Edit
The staff here was phenomenally friendly.
Read moreI tried to pick something to eat that I don't see often back home, and so ended up with the African Peanut Stew, which was legitimately delicious. Rich flavor, lots of veggies and protein. 10/10 would order again.
The menu is very Western, which is not a knock, but if you are only here for a short visit and are looking for vegan versions of Korean food, there are other places really close by that will scratch that itch. If you want healthy, vegan Western style food, make sure to eat it here.

So nice we have been many times! - Edit
We loved Plant! It is located upstairs and is small but we were able to find a table for our party of five. I ordered a peanut soba noodle salad and it was flavorful, cool, fresh…just what I needed on a hot day. The second time we ordered takeout to feed our family back at the hotel and it was successful even though our guests were not vegan—they all enjoyed the food, too. One of our favorite places on our trip.
Read moreOctober 2024 update:
Easily my fav vegan spot in Korea and we’ve been several times in 2022, 2023, and 2024. We ordered a bday cake for pick up when we arrived 10/4 then we ate at the Itaewon location once and at the Yeonnam location once. The soba bowl is always good but the hummus and roasted squash salad was amazing too. So was the slice of carrot cake I brought back to our apartment. Plant and its team are just the best. I bought a shirt this year, too! lol!
