"Fantastic!"   My Rating
1 Flo	Posted on: Sunday, June 21, 2009
	Review: This is a wondeful place to taste a variety of "real" Korean food. It's a bargain, the staff is wonderful, the atmosphere peaceful although you are at the center of Insadong. The soups are great, as is the rice combined with spicy sauces and the variety f tastes (from bitter to spicy to... unexplainable) in the vegetable is amazing. I would not really know about Korean food had I not come here. A sincere, good place!   Pros: originality of taste * variety of vegetables, roots * excellent value Cons: * *

"Good value, great taste"   My Rating

	Review: For 10000 won, it's hard to beat this place! It's located in Insadong, which is an interesting part of town itself, and pretty easy to find. The food was delicious - particularly the tempura type veges, the hearty soup and the rice. Staff were friendly and helpful.   Pros: Great food * Friendly * Good value Cons: * *

"Hanguachae - Excellent !"   My Rating
1 am_martine	Posted on: Saturday, December 13, 2008
	Review: I know several vegan places back here in Canada and abroad, but this has been a wonderful experience. The food is surprising, the caring service, the tastes of prepared vegetables and pickles, all has been a wonderful experience. Their rice tastes like no other. No need to be a vegetarian to enjoy this, as my non-vegetarian friend was delighted too. The menu in English gives some information about the dishes. I truely recommend this place to everyone.   Pros: * * Cons: * *

"Fantastic !"   My Rating
GUEST	Posted on: Monday, December 01, 2008
	Review: I have tried many vegetarian places in Seoul, also pricy ones, but this one beats them. 8 or so freshly prepared dishes, ranging from bitter to spicy, deliciously hot kimch-tofu stew, rice cake (rated by my Korean friend as one of the most delicious she ever tried), fresh raw vegetables with soybean paste... Various soups served, in a calm, honest atmosphere. Mainly Korean people eat here, although their smile welcomed me. According to my friend, this is REAL Korean traditional food. The owner was eager to let me try some "secret" specialities (pickled zuccini, fermented seaweed...). I only can recommend this haven, though the outside may not be inviting. ;)   Pros: tastes unlike anything * healthy and fresh * try all you want Cons: unappealing entrance * *

"Paradise for real vegetarians"   My Rating
1 Pipipi	Posted on: Saturday, November 29, 2008
	Review: This buffet may seem less fancy than many other vegetarian places in Seoul, but it offers a large variety of vegetable dishes based on 100% fresh, high quality products from local farmers. The recepies are not adapted to western tastes, so this is about the most Korean 100% vegetarian (with many vegan options) you can find. My favourite (in the winter): fried pumpkin tempura.Two different soups offered, raw salads, seriously fresh organic apples, pickles... Better than any vegan restaurant I found when living in Europe. And you can find here vegan products to buy, like seaweed, pickles, lotus tea, and delicious jam (figue, pumkin). A real bargain for 10.000 Won : food for the soul and body.   Pros: Fresh * Authentic * Surprisingly different Cons: * *

"Large Buffet--Albeit with No Mock Meats"   My Rating
27 westcorner sville	Posted on: Thursday, May 08, 2008
	Review: I liked this place--a surprisingly large number of dishes given that they didn't use mock meats (though a few mock meats would've added even more to the variety). There were several dishes that I couldn't identify--including one very thick starchy wheat-like dish. Otherwise, they had a tofu dish (fairly plain) that contrasted with some spicy vegetable (and kimchi) dishes, quite a few salad items and a yam dish. They had several soups. They brought out a pancake with each meal. Note that this restaurant is actually on Seokjeong-Gil (on the north side approximately 2/3rds of the way down the block as you head east away from Insadong-Gil, in the basement). The price is 10000 won per person.   Pros: good food * decent variety * yams and pancakes were especially good Cons: could use a few mock meats * *
