Meilleur poulet frit vegan de Séoul ! - Edit
Vegan Insa, situé à moins de 10 min de Insadong, est un restaurant 100% vegan dans un hanok. La nourriture est coréenne, généreuse et délicieuse. Nous avons pris le bulgogi, le tteokboki, les mandus et le poulet frit épicé qui est vraiment le meilleur que nous ayons testé à Séoul !

IN-CRE-DI-BLE! - Edit
Dinner was DELICIOUS! There were so many great menu items to choose from, it took us a while to decide. We eventually decided on the fried shrimp in sweet and sour sauce, kimchi quesadilla, and fried dumplings (which was more than enough for two people - we took home leftovers). Every single item was phenomenal, and we will definitely visit again before leaving Seoul! The owner was also very very kind, which brightened our evening. 10/10 would recommend!

Great lunch spot - Edit
This is a cute, casual place for lunch with a lot of nice dishes and a picture-based/kiosk-ordering menu to support those whose languages (Korean, Chinese, Japanese, and English) aren’t printed already. It’s clearly set up for tourists but the food seemed authentic enough. The tteokbokki platter is huge but not as spicy as I would have hoped (for most I think that’s a good thing but it was a drawback for me haha). We also tried the bibimbap and the Korean fried “chicken” and both were excellent. I especially enjoyed the vegan “egg” on the bibimbap.
Read moreA TV plays a propaganda video for the religious group but otherwise the sect isn’t really a prominent part of the restaurant. I do wish the imagery on the screen, which was meant to promote veganism by showing tortured animals, was not graphic. I get that they are trying to spread the message but we are already there, and it was distracting/upsetting during an otherwise nice meal.
My first vegan meal in Seoul, and it sets a good stage for the visit!

Beautiful Vegan Restaurant - Edit
Delicious vegan fried chicken. I really wanted to give a 5-star review to this beautiful place but we also ordered the bulgogi and we did not like it (maybe we are not used to the flavor but was kinda soggy and grey). But we will definitely come back and order something else. This is a must visit place if you are vegan.

Read moreFirst of all: great atmosphere and super friendly service
Love that it’s seating options in Korean style
Food all vegan, all Korean and probably all delicious
I tried the Korean chicken with the spicy sauce and it was worth it
Caution: peanuts on top of chewy chicken - but listed on the menu
Chicken is a bit too chewy, so it’s difficult to chew
Taste was amazing, served hot and good amount of food
You order at the counter inside
Free wifi and water
Overall a great place
I want to go back

Must-go to try authentic Korean food veganised! - Edit
Vegan Insa was the absolute food highlight of our trip - we got the bulgogi, Korean Fried Chicken and dumplings rice cakes soup. Firstly, the atmosphere alone was worth going for as it was cosy, warm, intimate in a traditional building. I was so worried coming here that I wouldn’t be able to experience much traditional food that

I hate to say it - Edit
I felt so underwhelmed by the food here. I tried the California roll, which I thought was a bit bland. A different time I tried I think their version of fried chicken. It had a good taste but the texture was bit weird.
