Convenient bite

The restaurant is close by to Myeongdong shops and so convenient if you’re out and need a quick bite.
There really aren’t many vegan places open all through the week, and this place pulled through on multiple occasions. It’s open till 10pm which was amazing. Chick’n sweet and sour was great. Cheap, non fussy food. Not the world’s greatest, but it really filled a gap and I’m so grateful for that. Lovely staff too.. oh and a robot server 😅

Pros: Cheap, Easy to order, Comfort food

Cons: Burrito wasn’t flavoured , More Korean options might be nice

So grateful for this place

Honestly, it hasn’t been easy to find decent vegan food in Seoul (so far) - all the better this place exists. I ordered myself through half of the menu to have food for the next day and it was a game changer. If you’re looking for great quality, traditional Korean *and* vegan food, this is your place!

Pros: 100% vegan, Cute robotic waiter, Long opening times

Delicious Korean Food

We came here on our first night in Seoul looking for some good Korean food and were not disappointed. (We also came back again, read about that at the bottom).

I love tteokboki so was excited to get my first taste of it on this trip. The portion was hearty and the sauce was tasty with a good level of spiciness. There were a few bits of vegetables in there too, I suppose it could have been improved by adding something more exciting instead.

My partner had the japchae. She enjoyed the sesame taste and liked the texture of the noodles, which were very different to any noodles she's had before. The vegetables in the dish added a good texture too.

We shared a plate of fried chicken too. This tasted great and reminded me of good chicken nuggets. The coating was really crispy and well seasoned. The texture of the chicken was good and tasted like chicken too.

There's also the fun novelty of being served by a robot. You place your order using a tablet on the table and cutlery/napkins can be found in a drawer in the table.

We like to try different restaurants in cities but we weren't that excited by the vegan places so we came back. It was also reasonably close to our hotel which played a part in the decisions. On a second visit, I got the kimchi fried rice and chicken in spicy sauce. The rice was a bit unexciting, it didn't have a lot of flavour and I felt the best spicy and sour jotes of kimchi weren't really there. I think it also suffers a bit as a dish for not having more things in it. The sauce on the chicken was good and sticky, a bit sweet and a bit spicy but I was hoping for a bit more chilli heat in there.

My partner got a bibimbap and she enjoyed it. There was a good range of textures from the vegetables, she enjoyed the flavour from the seaweed and the sauce.

We got takeaway from there once as well with the food travelling well. It was still good and hot after about 30-40 minutes of travel.

Cumplió las expectativas

Me gustó mucho. Pedí un curry que me supo a los que probé en Japón, estaba muy bueno.

No recuerdo qué era lo que se pidieron mis acompañantes, pero le gustó mucho también. Adjunto foto.

También pedimos unas patatas fritas que estaban bastante bien.

Basic vegan food

Restaurant vegan, nourriture correcte, assez basique mais à le mérite d'offrir une alternative vegan à des plats coréens sans se ruiner !

Went here 3 times in one week

It's that good! Very easy to order by choosing your language at a screen on your table and scrolling and selecting through the menu. A little robot maid brings your food and drinks! We tried all the versions of fried Ch*cken, b**f fried rice, kimchi dumplings, "meat dumplings", standing out the most. Plenty of seating and an easy to find location.

Pros: Easy ordering

Cons: A little expensive compared to other places

Decent vegan food

It's my first time here and I only tried the bulgogi poke. Was decent, not special. Good service and reasonable price. :)

Brilliant and in an ideal location

The fake fried chicken was great, as was the kimchi rice, those were my favourites. I went twice, the second time i got the bulogi and chicken again. I also had the makeogoli but it was too much for one person imo, better to be shared

Pros: Fried chick'n, Kimchi rice

my comfort place in korea!

i have been here more times than i can count and just realized today that i never posted a review! from not knowing the utensils are in a drawer inside the table to having the staff recognize me, I really came a long way😂the food is great, and what I love so much about vk is their consistent opening and closing hours! i always get one of their bowls because they're so good. my go to place whenever i'm wondering where I should go eat

Incredible Vegan Dishes

So glad we found this restaurant in Seoul! My partner and I loved every single dish that we tried! We visited 3 times during our stay. The staff are really friendly. You order from a kiosk and a robot would deliver your food (it depends, as we only had a robot delivered our food once). I love the vegan garlic chicken, kimchi fried rice, and Japchae! Their curry is also amazing!

Efficient & delicious

A great way for those with dietary restrictions to confidently try some Korean food, everything we had was delicious and large portions, especially rice cake soup! Bonus is that a lovely robot brings your meal to you! Food is relatively cheap compared to other tourist oriented restaurants.

Pros: Clear labeling, Good service, Q

Amazing!

Went three times and loved it every single one of them. Tried the regular and dolsot bibimbap, regular and garlic fried chicken, kimchi fried rice and tteokbokki. While all of them were good, the dolsot bibimbap, the regular fried chicken and the kimchi fried rice were top notch!
The staff is friendly and refilled my kimchi side many times without any issue. Plus, you get the robot waiter!

Good option for vegan Korean food

The fried mandu (dumplings) were delicious! I also got the cold spicy noodles which were okay. I have a high spice tolerance and I thought they were a low to medium spiciness. The meal came with complementary pickles/kimchi, which was delightful. I’d say if you want Korean food this is a solid option. Wish I had time to try more menu items.

Pros: Lots of options, Dumplings fried to perfection but not overly oily, Friendly staff

Why everyone gives 5 stars?

It seems like tourists rave about this place. Unfortunately there‘s nothing else in this area so I appreciate this option. But if you‘ve spent more time in Korea then you realize that this food is nothing special nor is it authentic. The atmosphere is also weird. Also why can‘t they serve white rice??

Great Menu But Execution Not Quite There

So many choices that sound great, but I didn't find anything to taste amazing. Got the vegetable stew, which had pretty good dumplings and lots of mushrooms. It needed more variety I thought and a little more heat. Got the cold noodle as well, which was good, but also wouldn't necessarily want it again. Same for Tteokbokki. I wanted to like this place more, and I am giving 4 stars opposed to 3 because I imagine some of the options I didn't order are solid.

Okay food

Nice restaurant where ordering is on a tablet and robot serves drinks. Had the beef with rice and avocado supp for 12000₩. Was excepting much nicer food from the reviews. Beef was blend and avocado as well. The staff weren't super friendly either. Does the job but had much higher expectations
