Better to go there early

They advertise that kitchen closes at 8.45 pm, but I tried to order at 8.35 pm and the kitchen was already closed...

Delicious

Wide selection of very-nice sounding meals. Went with the plant cheeseburger and fries with one of the IPA's. Very delicious, however they did take a while (>30 min) to make the meal compared to others getting theirs before me (when they ordered after I did).

Edit: went again as it is the closest vegan hangover food. Had the Philly cheese steak and a banana split. Came out much quicker, must've been a bad night last time. Both the sandwich and shake were delicious, highly recommend.

Pros: Delicious vegan food , Convenient location in Hongdae

Good food and pleasant atmosphere

I oprdered a Philly cheese steak sandwich and a banana split milkshake.
The sandwich was delicious and I’d definitely order it again.
The milkshake was a little bland but still nice, however it was a little expensive #Veganuary

Pros: All vegan , Friendly, English speaking staff, Good vibes

Hummus salad & burger

I had a hummus and pumpkin salad my friend had the avocado burger with fries. The food was fresh and delicious. The drinks were really good too! We got the gingerbread latte and pumpkin spice latte.
The drinks come with soy milk by default and you can pay to change it to almond or oat.

Nice interior and friendly staff, but tasteless

I visited the other branch in Itaewon before and was disappointed, but I wanted to give them another chance and also try another dish. I love the interior and also the location. A big plus: many sauces (ketchup, spicy sauce, mustard)mand salt and pepper for self service. Water and wifi available. There is a cute patio if you want to eat outside. Lots of plants inside as well.
The menu is quite similar to the one in Itaewon (the same plus 2 or 3 more options).
I ordered the plant Caesar tofu wrap.
The wrap has a great size for 12k and was freshly prepared. It comes with some chips on the side. The wrap itself was tasteless. The tofu consisted of 3 or 4 pieces in total. Mostly it was filled with salad (which is good) and some croutons (odd - does not fit at all); the Caesar dressing looks great but also had no flavor at all. This cafe could have potential if they would use some spices and season things. Looks aren’t everything. Food should be presented nicely, but most importantly is the taste. At least service is great here and not rude and unfriendly like in Itaewon. Won’t come again.

Second Plant with no new ideas

Plant Itaewon is arguably the best know in Seoul so those of us on this side of Seoul were happy they opened a place in Yeonnam. It does not have the same feel as the other location which is good. It is its own. Some menu items are different. We had tofu scramble wrap, which was ok but needs some jalapenos, or something, added to improve the lack of flavor. Chilli fries were a big hit!! Falafel salad was so-so. Finished off with cakes.

Updated: Went back a few times after they opened to support but all in all the food here is average at best so stopped visiting a few months after they opened. Overhyped

Updated from previous review on 2022-10-04

Pros: Great second location for Plant, Not as crowded as other location

Cons: Used Non Vegan sauces but did not label them

Used non-vegan sauces and did not label them? Can you be specific? This is a huge deal, since the menu says all ingredients are vegan. I was in the restaurant just finishing when I saw this pop up.

Good but not that special

Given all the positive reviews, my expectations were quite high. I ordered the tofu scramble burrito which looked really good in all the pictures.

While the portion size is decent, I felt like it needed some more flavour and veggies. I'd recommend getting some sauce with this if you're planning on ordering the burrito.

I also had a slice of banana bread later, which was pretty average.

The food wasn't bad though, just not that special in my opinion!

Pros: Fully vegan , Nice cafe, Cakes looked great

Cons: Food was fine but not amazing, Little on the expensive, Had to wait quite some time for the meal to arrive

Easy Western vegan food

Great option if you’re craving a large portion, easy and tasty vegan food! It can be difficult to find vegan food in Seoul so this is a good base where you know you’ll always get vegan food that tastes good. It’s not Korean cuisine but can be a nice home comfort.

Pros: Staff speak English well, Easy option, Two branches in Seoul

Cons: More expensive than a traditional Korean place

Average

I went twice within a week and ordered take-away. Both times they forgot something, so please double check your take-out bags.

It’s fully vegan, which is hard to find in Seoul and the main reason I went. The sweets are nice and worth the money, the mains very average.

If you are vegan and want an easy meal, go. If you aren’t vegan but want to know how vegan food tastes, don’t go. There’s much better out there.

Pros: Vegan

Cons: Expensive, Service, Average taste

I feel at home here lol

I love this place so much.
All the items on the menu I have tried so far were awesome. The staff is really nice and everyone speaks great English (it is so international, there are barely any Koreans, both among staff & customers). #Veganuary

Love the second location!

It’s great to have Plant in Mapo! The new spot is open air with some outdoor seating. Love the falafel that’s available only here!

Setting standards

Plant is certainly one of the restaurants that sets standards for vegan food in Korea.
In general, their food is good and acceptable by vegans and non-vegans.

They serve mostly Western food with some exotic dishes. The food here is similar to Plant in Itaewon, but it is not identical as the cooks are different. However, many seem somewhat overpriced these days...

Regardless, I used to enjoy the cakes from the dessert section best, but have had some not so good cakes recently. Their brownies, however, are amazing: The classic US style brownie - fudgy and cakey at the same time!

The new location in Yeonnam has a different vibe, much colder and less cozy or chilled than the Plant in Itaewon. The interior of the restaurant, which is located on the first floor, is bright and has large windows and a couple of plants.

Pros: Awesome brownies, Food is ok

Cons: Expensive, Cold atmosphere

Yeonnam exclusive menu is my favorite!

Scramble burrito is my favorite one in plant Yeonnam. Other things are delicious as it does in Itaewon. It is more greenery.
