Healthy vegan food

You can grap your own ingredients and build your own mean/soup with a lot of options for noodles, vegetables and tofu. Price is by weight. Friendly staff, knows about veganism

One of the best vegan mala places

I always come here for vegan mala noodle soup whenever I'm back in Korea😄There's a lot of veg options to choose from and is pretty affordable. Highly recommend! Just make sure you don't go too crazy with the spice level - 2.5 was more than enough for me ;)

Vegan Maratang

They have many vegan options. We chose Maratang and create our own bowl. I'll give the taste 8 out of 10.

Easy and staff knowledgeable

It’s create your own bowl with plenty of vegan options to choose from! Lots of different mushrooms and vegetables and tofu. When I brought the bowl tot he staff he asked if I wanted vegan broth (I’m pretty sure he asks everyone). I got spice level 3 which was very spicy but very good. Nice to have a vegan option in hongdae. Also, there was a whole sign in front listing all the vegan options there. Must visit!

So delicious!

Build your own bowl is super satisfying because you can choose among so many veggies, tofus, and noodles. And there’s vegan soup broth. Card accepted. And plenty of seating. I got spicy level 2 and it was nice. 2.5 is also good if you like spicy but I’d be afraid to go beyond that. 😅 so delicious! I’d come here over and over again ☺️

Loved it here. Will be coming here again!

You can create your soup according to your liking. Just put the things you want in a bowl. They have a lot of options: Tofu, different kinds of noodles, mushrooms, veggies etc. Just ask for veggie broth when you give the bowl to them:)

Mix your own soup

We loved this place and the food, it was sooo good. The concept is very easy: there is a Buffet of ingridients for the soup. You take a Bowl and put in all the ingridients you want to have. There are many vegan options, lots of veggies, Tofu, noodles, ricecake and much more. You than bring your bowl to the front and say you want the vegan broth. The staff speaks perfect english and will understand. They cook the soup for you with your chosen ingridients and it was sooo good. You can also choose between different hot spice levels. It was a great experience and I loved that you could chose what you want to have. Also the taste was really good and it was really cheap.

Pros: Mix your own soup, Great ingridients to choose, Tasted sooo good

Very good food!!

It is really delicious and healthy food! At first I was confused by the concept and whether you can go there alone but I quickly figured it out and the stuff understood that I want the vegan soup.
A little sidenote: I ordered „a little spicy“ which is definitely spicy enough.

Pros: You can make it vegan with the ingredients chosen, fair price

Cons: a little confusing at first

Hard to find

This place is hard to find as there is no English writing. The branding outside is blue and white and it is up some stairs. No English signs and no English spoken by staff but I have the Google translate app so could translate the instructions. You fill up your bowl with the veggies and noodles and they weigh it. Ask for vegan at the counter for the stock. Staff do seem to understand vegan.
Overall very tasty but a little pricy. Would return.

Pros: Staff understand vegan , Self made bowls so can decide what you want

Cons: Hard to find , No English

Super tasty

It was so good! One of the best malatang places I have ever been. Level 2 spiciness was just right. Would love to try their vegan mala jeongol next time!

Delivery was good

Had this delivered and they choose alot less veggies than I normally do but packed it full of tofu options. Taste was good but in shop is better.

Delicious!

Love that these are around and I’ve had the chance to eat at a few! It’s really good. Love that it’s customizable. Of course I always overdo it and end up with a giant bowl of food. Meh, that’s just who I am.

OMG!

This place is sooooo good! Level 2 spiciness was the perfect level. The sauce was very flavorful and spicy. There is a large selection of veggies and noodles. I’ll be back for sure!

Self-service and individual

I love that you can basically create your own dish by selecting the ingredients from a buffet yourself and then choose cooking style and level of spiciness. Just make sure you clarify that you want it to be vegan, so they use the plant-based stock for cooking.

Beside veganized Malatang, Malaban and Xiangguo, you can also order vegan sweet-and-sour mushrooms at this location.

This branch of Sonogong Maratang is more chilled and less crowded than the other ones in Gangnam and near Hongdae station.

Pros: individual and many options, food tastes ok
