Absolutely delicious

The food is fantastic, the staff is super nice, very relaxed environment, they even promote rescue cats and dogs with some cute pictures!
If you come alone you’ll be seated at the bar, it’s all very cozy and comfortable.

Pros: Great price, Great taste, Has outdoor seating

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!

Nice but…

A bit pricey, when you look at the prices listing from a couple months ago!
Nice place.
Food was good but way way too sweet!
I had the Fried Veef with
Hot & Sour Soy Sauce.

Very friendly staff

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😄

Pros: stirfried spicy eggplant, The Staff, Stirfried plantbased shrimps with assorted veg

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.

Tasty

We had the deep fried enoki mushrooms and the spicy eggplant (lots of garlic!), both very nice and tasty. Service was friendly and English speaking, food served really fast.

Best Jjambbong Ever

I only ate one dish but it was amazing. It really was one of the best 짬뽕 I have ever had in korea. And I've had hundreds. It's one of my favorite Korean Chinese dishes.

Pros: Very friendly staff., Beautiful outdoor seating.

Large serving sizes

A good choice for an “easy” meal in Seoul. Wide menu choice, though primarily mock meat based and the staff speak fluent English. Note that the rice & noodle menu is half the price of the other menus and is still a large serving size! The “mains” are quite expensive for Seoul, we got three “rice & noodle” choices for two people and really we could’ve just had two and it be a full meal.

Pros: Large serving sizes, Cute decor, English speaking staff

Cons: Mock meat based menu, Relatively expensive , Feels tourist oriented

Tasty

Came here cause saw all the amazing reviews. Definitely agree that the spicy shrimp and dinner are great! Serving sizes are big and super fast service. Not gonna lie but the spicy eggplant was a bit of a let down.

Pros: Speed, Spicy prawn

Cons: Spicy eggplant

By far one of our favourite spots visiting Seoul. Delicious food, warm service and can’t recommend more if you’re visiting Itaewon 🙌

One of the best vegan restaurants

So many of my vegan friends in Seoul have recommended this restaurant and I now know why after trying their food!!! The food was really really good and the owners were friendly as well. Please make sure to try Menbosha(fried "shrimp" bread) because I was literally shocked after the first bite. I'm definitely visiting here again while in Korea.

So YUMMY!

I ordered mapo tofu and fried tofu with 3 things vegetables. Both were BOMB! By far one of the best vegetarian food i’ve had in Busan and Seoul.
They have break time from 3-5 PM. But they started putting out the “Break Time” sign before 2.30. So if you wanna eat here, it’s better to come here at 2ish max.
Really recommend this restaurant to my fellow vegetarian/ vegan buddies.
