love it

i love spicy food and this maratang hits the spot. you can choose all you want to put in it and the cost is by weight.

make sure to ask for the veggie broth. and the onion pancake is so good!

Delish!

This was one of the first places I tried when I got to Korea and wow was I impressed! All the different types of noodles and greens and mushrooms and tofus!! I had no idea there were so many tofus. It’s all so good!! Def a bit of a wimp when it comes to spice but I handle this like a champ. It’s great.

Amazing!

I wish I could give 5 stars. I ate here almost 3x every week while I lived in Korea for 3 months.
The staff is friendly, understand basic English and know their vegan options. Tell them at the counter to make it vegan if unsure!

Food is amazing. Many buffet-like ingredients to choose from to put into the dishes. You can also choose how spicy you want your food to be. If you're sensitive to spicy food, I'd recommend not to pick higher than level 2 or max. level 3.

The price depends mostly on weight of the ingredients you choose.

Easy to reach from Gangnam Station Exit 11. The restaurant itself is upstairs. There's a slightly hidden staircase you can reach when entering the house from outside.

Pros: Friendly staff, Buffet style (for vegan ingredients), Very delicious

Cons: Not entirely vegan

Deserves 5 star

It's easy to locate restaurant on gangnam. They have a rack were you can pick stuff. Lots of veggies and carbs.

Pros: Staff understood what vegan means., Fried cake is vegan, Not expensive at all

Cons: They have minimum weight that needs to be ordered, Limited vegan options

마라반이 정말 맛있어요

새콤달콤매콤한 마라반이 이 곳의 독보적인 메뉴입니다. 재료들도 손질이 잘 되어 있고 특히 건두부를 좋은 것을 사용하는 듯 보였습니다. 음식을 담고 무게를 잰 뒤 매운 정도를 정하고, 비건으로 요청하면 됩니다. 맵지 않은 백탕도 가능한 가게입니다. 새송이 꿔바로우는 신맛을 조절할 수 있습니다.

So good, so many options!

The staff was very helpful and the food was very good. Choose your own spice level and your ingredients as you’re good to go.

Very authentic tasting Chinese noodles

Previous reviews were really helpful. The staffs know about vegan option. Stir fried noodles are yummy.. select you vegs, tell the counter that you are vegan. Job done and delicious noodles you way.

Great food!

A really nice non-vegan place that would deserve 5 stars if it was possible. The staff know what vegan is and will even ask if you are vegan when ordering.
It's very spicy!

Pros: Great food.

Cons: They also serve meat...

Hot, spicy, greasy and addictive

I enjoy this kind of restaurant, because one can choose the ingredients directly! Thus, depending on the mood and personal preference, one can create a different dish each time.

The owners welcome vegans and pay attention to cook the dish accordingly, if you mention it at the counter.

When I chose spiciness level 2 ("slightly spicy" 약간 매운맛) and the cooking-style "Xiangguo" (샹궈), the dish was quite hot for me. But it was still pleasant to eat and I enjoyed that tingling, ma-spiciness from sichuan-pepper! Wonder what level 1 ("not spicy"?! 백탕) will taste like.... I'm sure I can't handle level 3 and level 4, yet, lol.

The deep-fried mushrooms in sweet-and-sour-sauce were crispy and greasy. The taste of vinegar was very strong, though, almost pungent.
