Best place in Seoul! - Edit
This was our go-to eatery in Seoul. We tried everything on the menu and all of it was great, the soy chicken, pumpkin rice drink and gimbap were our favourites. The staff here are the sweetest people!!!

Favourite place in Seoul - Edit
Delicious food, incredible prices. I recommend the soy chicken and the spicy ramen! The dumplings were yummy too, a little greasy but worth it as a treat. The staff are so welcoming, we were given a gift of lemon tea to celebrate their anniversary.

Small very nice Place - Edit
Small place found inside a mall
Read moreThe food was very nice and cheap!
I recommend ordering a variety of different dishes and share
We had gimbap, ramen, fried dumplings and the chicken
especially the ramen and the dumplings were very very good
The ramen come with a nice little curry flavor so it probably depends on your taste if you like that
We found it a little bit hard to find but with google maps and the pictures that are already uploaded you’ll find it😄
Pros: Cheap, Yummy
Cons: Hard to find, A little bit cold because you kind of sit outside

Awesome - Edit
It is so good to eat carefree here. Very delicious. Tokbokki is chewy and spicy sweet. Dumplings are crispy. Gimbap is yummy. Ramen is so good. Slurp the soup when it is cold weather. Boss nice gave me kimchi on side too. I wish they also will have vegan bingsu, hotteok sweet n Japjae, Bindatteok, fried corn dog with vegan cheese n potatoes and many many more!
Read morePros: Very good
Cons: Odeng is bland. Hope more vegan items.

Has improved immensely! - Edit
When I lived here last year, this place was just serving passable food. Now, as I came back to visit a year later, the place has turned into real vegan Korean fast food heaven! This is your best bet at getting vegan-safe Korean street food in Seoul.

Super convenient and comfy food - Edit
This was definitely the place I ate at the most, because it was right near our accommodation, and it was super tasty for a great price! We always left feeling full and satisfied. The gimbap and tteokbokki were definite favourites. We ordered the ramyun, and had to laugh as we saw them literally open a packet ramen and cook that. It was still tasty, but we might have been more impressed had we not seen the packet hahaha.

Pros: Super tasty, Very affordable, Friendly staff
Cons: Ramen is literally from a packet

Nice food, friendly staff - Edit
We liked the food here, we tried the gimbap, the chicken and the dumplings. Everything tasted great and the staff was super friendly. We were able to pay with debit card. There aren't that many tables so not sure if we were lucky that we got somewhere to sit, it was not super popular but still had many clients coming and going. I would have gone again if we could, to try the rest of the menu! As many say, the prices are great too.

Excellent Authentic Korean Food - Edit
Had the gimbap. Really liked it. The host was quite warm too. See the pictures and follow the location in Naver Map (Korea's local navigation app) to find the restaurant. Oh, and it's extremely reasonably priced - I didn't have a cheaper meal in my entire stay in Korea.

Sad about missing out on Korean Street Food? Don't be!!! - Edit
Maru has a simple menu that's 100% vegan, and it's all traditional Korean street-foods like Kimbap, Odeng, Hot-Bar and even Fried Chicken! We tried everything - and it was amazing. I loved the Kimbap (Seaweed Rolls), Fried Bean 'Chicken', the Mandu (dumplings) and the Hot Bar is a must-try. Comes in the best broth. YUM. A great place to try tteokbokki too (Korean Rice Cakes) - a very popular streetfood that is almost always not vegan. The only thing I didn't love was the Bibim Naengmyon (the cold mixing noodles) - it was a bit too sweet for me and you can get it better at other Vegan Korean Restaurants. It's inexpensive, and very affordable and one of the owners speaks a little english but she doesn't work everyday. Menu is listed in english too so you can just point and say 'IGOH - CHUSEYO' (can i please have this) if you don't know Korean. Not much seating but it's a quick meal so there's usually not much of a wait if you do have to wait.

Cheap Korean food - Edit
I went there twice. The shop is very small with a few tables outside. Free water. Staff is super nice. Menu is in English and Korean. Prices are cheap. They have Korean food but veganized. First time i got the two Kimbab. Big portions! The 2nd time i got the udon noodles as well. They were good but it is jut not my taste in general.
