Amazing Food! - Edit
Wow! The other reviewers were right. The food is amazing, and the prices are great! Today, I had the fried tofu kimbap and the udon noodles. I can see this becoming one of my favorite vegan restaurants in the city. I will definitely be back to try everything on the menu.

Best place to get some vegan Korean street food - Edit
A small place inside of a mall in the middle of Insadong which offers ingenious vegan variants of typical Korean street food like Tteokbokki, fish cake or mandus. The owners are really friendly and their food more than delicious and pretty inexpensive. So if you are in this area you have to try it!

Vegan versions of Korean classics - Edit
This is a great place to stop for a snack or cheap lunch in Insadong. It's a small stand serving vegan versions of street food classics like kimbap and tteokbokki. A real gem for vegan tourists who would like to try Korean street food! It's in a nice quiet space off the main street, and they have a couple of tables outside. I didn't like the vegan odeng, but everything else I've tried was great. I'm also pleased that if you sit there to eat, they serve everything in proper plates, cups etc instead of disposable containers. It's cheap and the people who run it are friendly.

We really enjoyed our casual lunch here. The portions are generous at a cheap price, and came with a small soup and pickles as well. Definitely a good option if you're in the area!

Nice place but... - Edit
It is a nice little place with a cozy atmosphere where you get the chance to taste some Korea food. I have been there several times, not every dish as good as the other, though. As I found a hair in one of my dumplings, that was just too much for me. I know - it is basically a street kitchen and accidents happen... I still do not think that it is particularly delicious.
Read moreIt is a nice place, and they are happy and fairly good at English.
Pros: You have food within few minutes, The prices are low

This is where you can find me - Edit
If I'm not here at lunch every day this week, call the US Embassy because I have gone missing. The food is so good and simple, and the price is spectacular. I got the tofu sushi and the ramen this time, but I can't wait to try the rest of the menu.

Street food! - Edit
Now we don't have to feel we are left out from the street food scene. I have been here twice on my trip. Have tried the chicken, mandu, rice cakes and odeng. All really good. Also street food prices

Amazing korean vegan street food - Edit
This is the place when you want to try korean vegan street food (which is otherwise really difficult to find in korea). The place itself is a bit hidden and only limited seats are available. But the food is amazing! We had the tteokbokki, the spicy fried soy chicken, the dumplings and the kimbap and paid for all of this only ₩ 14.000 (including 2 drinks). We especially loved the fried chicken but beware: the spicy dish is not thr chicken but the tteokbokki. Definitely a most go if you would like to try korean street food.

The best kimbap in Seoul - Edit
I’ve been getting my lunch here about 5 times per week. It’s incredible value (₩3000 for kimbap) and is so tasty. The spicy soy chicken is really good too. The best vegan I’ve tried in Seoul.
