Lovely place

I visited Seoul for 2 weeks and this was definetely my favourite place to eat delicious and traditional vegan food. The staff was lovely and the food amazing!! Cannot wait to go back to Seoul and eat here again. Highly recommend!

Edit.
After 3 years going back this is still my favourite place not only in Seoul but fave in general!! So many food options and everything I tried was delicious. They also have the bestest mandu even my non vegan friend agreed. Get your hands on those dumplings

Nichts besonderes

Günstiges Veganes esse , schneller freundlicher Service und Gratis Tee zum essen (ausgenommen Sommer saison). Aber abgesehen von den Dumplings hat uns gar nichts geschmeckt. War alles zu fade, ist aber wohl Geschmacksache.

Vegan Korean Food

Fully vegan and Muslim-friendly (but not Halal-certified) eatery at Insadong Shopping Street, 5 to 10 min walk from Anguk Subway Station Exit 6. Quite crowded so be prepared to wait. Very nice traditional-looking setting with floor seating (shoes kept outside). They use vegetable broth instead of water to cook the dishes. All ingredients are non-GMO. Dishes with and without alliums / five pungent herbs are labelled clearly; majority allium-free. The menu mostly focuses on classic Korean dishes, with a few Western dishes. There are also several shelves selling vegan retail products. Everything is reasonably priced. Been visiting multiple times throughout my trip! P.S. This eatery is associated with Supreme Master Ching Hai.

- Outer Leaves Stew 된장들깨시래기찜 (Allium-free)
- Bean Paste Stew 옛날된장찌개 (Allium-free)
- Vegan Fried Egg 비건 계란 후라이 (Allium-free)
- Cirsium Setidens Bibimbap 곤드레비빔밥 (Allium-free)

Tasty food, authentic but vegan.

Good selection of vegan versions of traditional Korean food. The Kimchi mandu were incredible, the jajangmyeon was bit too watery for my taste, but still good.

Pros: Lots of options, all vegan, affordable

Cons: (seating on the floor, maybe uncomfortable for some)

Worth the hype! Perfect after visiting Gyeongbokgung Palace

I was stunned. It was SO tasty and the experience really really nice. It felt really traditional to me, since you habe to take off your shoes and sit on the bottom. The menu was great! A big book with the dishes on one side in Korean and on one in English. Also it has some educational sides about veganism which is just really great!

The food was amazing! Especially the sweet and spicy chicken!

Pros: Tasty!, Cheap, Traditional experience

Cons: None

Great and cheap food

We loved the food and everything was delicious. It was hard to decide what to order since everything in the menu looked so good. I loved that they show how spicey the dishes are, as i can't eat very spicey this is very helpful. I loved the vegan chicken and also the dumplings were great. It was also very cheap!!
The service was a bit overhelmed and slightly harsh. We had to wait outside for some time, which was okay, and also insight, so definitely bring some time. But the food is worth to wait.

Pros: Great authentical food, Very cheap

Cons: Long waiting times, Service was a bit harsh since they were stressed

Fully vegan restaurant with great taste

The food just taste amazing and with fully vegan you don't need to worry that you eating something wrong. Their fried soy cutlets are amazing and i can't remember a difference to normal meat.

Pros: Good options, Affordable price, Small and Large portions to try more

Cons: In peak hours the service is not keeping up, Water you need to get by yourself or ask again

Among the best I’ve had

We were blown away by this place. We concentrated on dishes we would be unlikely to find in veg versions elsewhere. The bulgogi and sweet & sour pork were delicious, and my dinner companion, who is Korean, said she could barely tell the difference from the meat-based versions, other than that the veg bulgogi might have been a little better. The black noodles were the weakest of the three dishes, but still tasty and saw us wiping the plate clean. The side dishes, including pickled radish or parsnip, and fish cake were co-stars worth mentioning.

They also sell some of their ingredients and other vegan food in dry packs (as well as vegan jerky) and in frozen packages (sausages, fish, etc.).

Other reviews mention brusque service, so I’ll record that we found just the opposite on our visit.

Two notes that are not complaints but possibly handy for people considering going:
1. no alcohol is served, though there is 0% beer;
2. closing time is listed as 9, but you must arrive before 8 to stand any chance of ordering (7:30 or earlier recommended).

This restaurant has a long history. Not sure if they've improved that much food qualities during the past years, but I would say the food is quite decent.

Decent bibimbap

My main complaint with this restaurant is that the staff wasn’t that nice and the atmosphere is not that pleasant.
The food is authentic and tasty, but the prices are not as low as they used to be.

Authentic & delicious

The place to go for a traditional korean experience. Everything is strictly vegan, comes in huge portion sized and is delicious! Only complaint: some foods have really strange textures to them, can definitely be off-putting to some.

Pros: Authentic kitchen & ambience, Mock dishes of common foods, Big portions

Cons: Some textures are weird

Tasty

The Noodles with beans was very delicious, the serving is very nice. You sit on the floor and take of your shoes as is custom in many traditional restaurants in both Korea and China.
