Fine red bean soup with uncommon rice balls - Edit
This restaurant specializes in Patjuk (red bean soup), but offers noodle dishes as well.
Read moreFrom the menu, all dishes with Patjuk are vegan by default: Patjuk with noodles, Patjuk with rice cakes and Patjuk with five-grain dumplings. In the summer, Kongguksu is also available, which can be veganized by omitting the egg topping.
When I asked whether their Yeolmu Kimchi contains fish sauce, I received a different answer two times. If it really is vegan, then there would be two more vegan-friendly dishes.
The basic Patjuk 팥죽 here is served with hand-cut noodles (Kalguksu 칼국수), while the Patjuk with rice cakes is called Dongji Patjuk 동지팥죽. They have another Patjuk that features special dumplings made with five different grains, Ogok Patjuk 오곡팥죽.
The soup base is very fine and has been strained so that there are no leftover bean skins - a sign of refinement. Its taste is very mild and one season it with salt or sugar according to personal preference. Portion size is pretty big and the price is comparably low!
The restaurant is quite large, clean and bright. #Veganuary
Pros: good base & special dumplings, big portions, low price
Cons: not sure about the Kimchi being vegan or not
