Generous and tasty vegan Korean food

This restaurant is like a Loving Hut, providing vegan food and projecting Supreme Master TV at every corner. Food is very good, typically Korean and generous in portion. You have plenty of choice and every dish comes with Korean sides, free tea and water. Except for TV, the place is pleasant and traditional. Prices are fair and the whole experience is definitely worth the visit.

Pros: 100% vegan, good food, generous portions, pleasant place, various choice, fair prices

Cons: TV everywhere

Authentic!

A bit difficult to find but well worth it! The street does not appear on google or apple maps, but find the Insadong-Gil 12 street and follow it to the very end and there it is😄A cozy place where you eat on the floor. I had some noodles with vegetables which tasted great.

One of my Seoul favs

This place is so good. Last year we went there with my friend like 3 or 4 times during our 12 days stay in Seoul because we liked it so much. This year unfortunately i could go only once when i was in Seoul for a few days. I absolutely love all the banchan they give you. How much of sides you get really depends on the time you go there and on the amount of food you order i think haha? Anyway, you can’t go wrong with vegan bbq, soy cutlet, fried dumplings or the sesame noodles. The staff is kind, service is nothing extraordinary, just normal - but really not rude/cold like some reviewers say.

Pros: Not pricy, Traditional veganized :), Variety of foods you can buy to take home

Cons: Not everything is fresh but hey??? It’s so good.

Nice place to bring non-vegan friends

오세계향 is my favorite vegan restaurant so far. The food is familiar to Koreans, so it’s a great place to bring non-vegan company when introducing veganism. There is a wide variety of menus and the place is spacious. The seats may be a bit uncomfortable though, since there aren’t any chairs and you have to sit on the floor.

Pros: OK location-in the middle of Seoul, Diverse menus (including “meaty” food)

Charming restaurant with traditional Korean food

Very friendly staff! Huge menu and good sized portions. Had the vegetable soy stew which came with 5 small dishes/rice.

Next time I’d go for a bigger noodle dish, they looked delicious.

Seating on the floor and small shop at front selling vegan cheese etc.

Food was okay, slow service.

I have been to many vegetarian/vegan restaurants in different countries around the world and the food here was disappointing. It was okay but not as good as it could be. We were in a group of 6 and ordered various different dishes but none deserved a 5 star.

Pros: Lots of vegan options , Better than going to a non-veg korean restaurant , Peace of mind - typical fish sauces are not used.

Cons: Taste was not that good. , Service was slow and poor.

This place deserves more 3-star reviews

Lived in Seoul for three months and went here quite often. It’s good as far as vegan Korean food in Seoul goes, but I honestly can’t bring myself to giving this more than three stars. The service sucks. Like honestly. The food is good, but not out of this world. The best part of the restaurant is the setting and the floor seating. I’d recommend going for the experience but don’t expect to have your wig snatched.

Good food, but nothing spectacular

Went to the restaurant one evening when we were in Seoul. A bit tricky to find, but that‘s true for quite a few restaurants in this area. The meals we had were good and affordable, but just nothing special. What I didn‘t like was the atmosphere and interior of that place. It all looks a bit random. Communication was difficult as the lady didn‘t speak English at all.

Nice meal

Inexpensive and lots of choice - the food comes with lots of additional sides. However most of the food includes fake meats.

Pros: Inexpensive , Lots of choice

Fine

Taste, price, service - not bad, but i would prefer other vegan restaurants.
A portion is not that much, even adding one more bowl of rice costs 2000₩ which is quite expensive.

Average

Service was fine, food wasn't outstanding and feels way too heavy, not sure why, but I felt so enervated after eating there, just very uncomfortable for hours. The freshness and cleanliness could be better as well, and personally the cult like TV channel creeped me out a bit. I see why so many people like it, cause it's not easy to find vegan hansik but I won't be visiting again.

Pros: Price, Location

Cons: Crowded, Interior, Bland

Tasty food

I loved this place

It felt very homey and relaxed

Great atmosphere

Food was delicious (if you like faux meats) quick and cheap

Chicken style barbecue had a very strong smoke flavour which was surprisingly good

Pros: Great amount of choice.

Tastes authentic

I’m a native Korean and I took my (non-vegan) family here to try 5 different dishes. They all tasted really authentic and my family liked them. Our favourites were the black bean noodles and sweet and sour fried mushrooms (탕수채). The restaurant had a homely vibe and the staff were friendly.

Traditional Korean experience with many amazing vegan options

We loved that the seating was on the floor at low traditional tables. Cute traditional interior in great location to see interesting street shops on the way in and out. They had traditional Korean and fusion dishes at reasonable prices. We will be heading back to this amazing place on our next trip for sure!!! The spicy soft tofu soup is a very classic dish that I had been wanting to try and it was perfect the dumpling and other foods we tried were wonderful as well.

Finaly some real vegan korean food

All the korean dishes on the menu are vegan and there are a lot of them! It is super nice to try all different korean dishes and since the price isn't too bad you can try multiple dishes (if you are in a small group). Also nice to sit on the ground while eating, Korean style!

Pros: Many vegan Korean dishes, Tasting real Korean food, Not expensive

Cons: Service is not the best

Great Temple Food in Insa-dong

They serve traditional Korean food, including vegan Korean BBQ. All side dishes are vegan as well. Everything was delicious. Make sure to eat it all :)

Pros: Everything is vegan, Good price, Friendly staff

Cons: Sitting on the floor (for some people), Taking off shoes (for some people), Hidden location in Insa-dong alley

Tasty Korean vegan food

I don't know where to begin with this place. Everything we have ever ordered from here is delicious. As a vegan myself, I found it wonderful that I didn't have to guess or ask what did nor did not have animal products in them. I am still amazed whenever I can have any meal in a restaurant in Korea.

You cannot go wrong with anything on the menu. True, the prices aren't the cheapest, but not very expensive either. You can taste the quality you are paying for. I've recommended this place to many friends and I will continue to do so.

Besides, you can buy some vegan goodies and
dark chocolate (!) on your way out (which always happens to me - more reasons to love this place!)

Pros: all vegan, friendly service, great for larger groups!

Cons: long wait, tricky to find

Really good.

I tried a lot of things: sesame noodle, noodle with stir-fried bean paste, korean BBQ, biji stew. I liked everything (though I liked the stew the least). Of the veg restaurants I tried in Seoul, this is the one a kept coming back to. Thumbs up!

Sitting on the floor was uncomfortable. My leg would fall asleep and I kept changing positions.

Worth noting that this is one of a chain or restaurants that are part of some cult-like organization, and you will see pictures and videos of their Supreme Master. Didn't bother me, but it was a bit weird.

Vegan Korean food

First time we came, the place was closed for a team building picnic..but they left free tangerines as a consolation. Second time, we came Saturday night, and they were slightly overloaded - we got a table quickly enough, but it took ages to be able to place our order. Once placed, food came pretty quickly, though. The food itself, all delicious. We ordered jjajangmyun, BBQ soy something, and fried wontons - it all came with a good assortment of traditional sides, including kimchi, which we can’t eat most other places, usually containing anchovy. It was all good enough that we are planning a second visit before we leave for home.

Pros: All vegan and delicious , Inexpensive , Good selection

Cons: Slightly long wait, Need google maps to find, Floor seats (can get a small chair if need)

True (vegan) Korean food

I went there twice during my one and a half week stay in Seoul. I loved it! I asked for the jajangmyong both times and it was delicious! The service was great and the restaurant was quiet and relaxing. Totally recommended!

Delicious authentic Korean Food

For the one who have food restrictions and who wants to try the Korean cuisine : this is a real deal! Great athmosphere, sited on pillow on the floor, just ordered from the extensive menu and let the lady bosses show their talents. Food is varied and delicious. Lots of side Korean dishes come with the main course. Cannot wait to be back to try other dish.

One of my fav. Korean restaurant ever.

Nearest stop is Anguk they follow the busy Insadong- street. It will be on a side street ( it s on Maps,Google maps and Naver for once ).

Pros: extensive menu! so many choices, delicious real Korean cuisine, copious

Cons: can get full quite fast .

we went here twice, loved everything we tried

Very relaxing environment, you take your shoes off and sit on the floor. Reasonably priced 8-12k prices, good portions for sharing, lots of great side dishes! We liked the dumplings, chinese noodles, and bibimbap but the BBQ was our fav!!!

Every dish is just perfect

We came back 3 times during our 5 days stay in Seoul, I usually prefer trying new places but this was so good that we had to try everything they had. Soon tofu and mushroom rolls are my absolute favourites from this restaurant

Pros: 100% vegan, Good price

Cons: Floor sitting can be uncomfy if you are not used

Delicious vegan restaurant - so many choices!

Tucked away down the laneway alongside, the Ssamzigil Mall Oh Se Gae Hyang offers a great selection of vegan food. I ordered dumplings and vegetable noodles , and it was all really delicious. Definitely worth a visit.

Pros: Plenty of choice, Traditional atmosphere, Tasty food

Cons: Sitting on the floor might not suit everyone
