Not an alternative, but the default

We went out with 3 people on a Wednesday evening, and we could just walk in. They don't have lots of seating so I guess if it's a busy night you need to reserve or wait. Which I can fully imagine that it gets busy because the food is really great! My wife has been fully vegetarian for 15 years, and I'm just starting to become fully vegetarian and I wish this restaurant would be everywhere around the world because the food is superb. We shared the black bean and mapo tofu and the taste was spot on what I was used to. The mapo tofu was properly spiced, so be careful if you can't handle spicy food.

We would definitely come back here.

Pros: Everything is vegan, so easy to choose, Proper use of spices

They offer take out

Holy crap, so good. I got the veef japchae and fried pot stickers to go and both are amazing. The staff was very friendly, and the food came out at lightning speed. The restaurant was full when I got there which is why I opted to take it back to my room. Everything held up perfectly for the 10 minute walk.

So good

The jjamppong was amazing. A hot, comforting stew I didn’t know I needed. One of my favorite meals in Seoul! My friend ordered the sweet and sour “beef”. The “beef” itself was bland and the dish didn’t even come with rice—she had to order it separately.

Sehr spannend und super nett

Esser war super lecker, und man wurde als westliche aussehende Person auch freundlich darauf hingewiesen, dass das scharfe ggf zu scharf sein könnte. Klare Empfehlung!

Incredible, don't think just go !

I love this restaurant. The food is incredible, so flavourful. The Jjamppong 짬뽕 and the Jjajangmyeon 짜장면 are the best in Seoul. If you can handle spicy food, highly recommend the spicy eggplants, succulent ! The owner, the lady is also so sweet.

Great food, good atmosphere

I came here for lunch and enjoyed a sunny day in the open air restaurant. The brown sugar doughnuts I got for dessert were so good, as was my main course: sweet and sour vegan beef.

I ate the chillis and nearly passed out.

I like spice. I love intense heat so I figured in my hubris I'd eat a load of the whole Korean chillis right before starting the food...error! Just a word of warning, though the chillis may not give much of a mouth hit, the stomach hit was intense! I had a ten minute lie down on the restaurant bench because I was going to pass out! I was given some oat milk and a bit of gentle encouragement, and finished dinner once the burn passed. It was EXCELLENT food, lovely service. Would have no hesitation to go back in a heartbeat!

Thanks to the lady who gave me the milk! =D

Pure love

Korean Chinese dishes are my soul food, and this place executes them perfectly. All my nonvegan friends love this place as well. I love everything they cook. It is a bit pricey but totally worth it.

I will be back

I had their 짬뽕 spicy noodles and it was just as good as the nonvegan ones I've had before going vegan. I will be back to try more dishes!

One of the best vegan restaurants in Seoul, not only is the food very good but the staff was also very friendly and introduced me to this app. I wouldn’t have survived south korea without it😄

Piatti coreani full vegan, posto cool

Una esperienza vegana, autentica coreana e anche cool nel cuore di Itaewon. I ragazzi parlano benissimo inglese, rarità a Seoul. Attenzione agli orari di chiusura, non sono chiari da Google O Happy Cow.

Pros: Vegan, Cool, Cosmopolitan

Friendly staffs and quick service

The restaurant is part of the food company called ALTist (formerly VioMix). Dishes are quickly prepared and served. The manger was especially kind and friendly. Taste worse, everything they we ordered was tasty. Even my non-veg colleagues were thoroughly enjoying the offerings.
