Amazing!!! - Edit
This is the best I’ve had in Seoul yet. I had soybean veef noodles and kimchi dumplings and my friend had the black bean veef noodles. We then had a cinnamon bun and coffee too— it was delicious and the people are super friendly and sweet!

Nice vibe - Edit
Service was relatively quick, and it had a really nice vibe. A bit pricier than I'd prefer, but expect it's typical Gangnam prices. Delicious food and flavours and unique desserts. I'd definitely return if I had more time in Seoul.

Something for everyone - Edit
This restaurant is light and airy, very friendly atmosphere, nice music that doesn't bother when you talk or enjoy the food.
Read moreWe had a tofu salad for starters which is something new to me, the silken tofu was cut into minuscule cubes and then mixed with cucumber and a little red pepper and coriander, all in a very refreshing rice vinegar and sugar dressing.
As mains we had mapo tofu (quite spicy but very very good), a seasonal dish of mushrooms and asparagus with plant based beef (not much luckily the veggies were the stars here), and a delightful stir fry of peppers, aubergine, potatoes and tofu in a soy sauce based condiment, the veggies were fried in a batter that had sugar so they were caramelised and very moreish .
We were full but we had dessert nevertheless because it came highly praised and it was perfect, a little cinnamon bun which wasn't oily or heavy but sweet and cinnamony .
This is lovely restaurant which I would recommend to meet friends or invite someone special. The service was absolutely spotless.
Pros: Lovely atmosphere , Great food, Great service

Good food, good space - Edit
This space is different in a good way from the Itaewon location. The menu is different and the interior has a different more modern but still with the earth & nature elements. Food is good and creative. Enjoyed the desserts as well.

Delicious! - Edit
Just enjoyed a great meal with fellow Happy Cow ambassadors! Thanks to Steve for hooking it up w the gift certificate! We ordered a bunch of dishes to share and everything was fantastic. Forgot to take pics of a few things, but I especially loved the soybean paste noodles and the fried dumplings, and of course I always love buns. The Japanese dessert was amazing as well. I will definitely be back!

10/10 wow - Edit
I haven’t been to the other Alt.a in Itaewon, but this one here is just amazing.
Read moreThe service is fast, friendly and speaks perfect English. You feel very welcome and it is a great dining experience. They ask for allergies as well.
We had the following three dishes so the review is based on these three (but I will return for sure):
- stir fried meat with spicy sauce (favorite) 21k
- fried dumplings in hot and sour soy sauce over salad (favorite) 16k
- bulgogi japchae with rice 10k
Every dish was hot and came freshly out of the kitchen. I had to add some salt (but that’s the European palette I guess).
The dumplings were so delicious. Crunchy in the outside and juicy filled with some minced veggie meat. The sauce was superb. Also I like that the chilis were deep fried and crunchy (plus so many different kind!). Not oily! Stir fried meat was also perfect. Bulgogi over rice nice as well could have been a bit more strongly seasoned. Just a perfect dining experience. It is not something for every day unfortunately because it is quite an expensive place in comparison, but you get what you pay for.
Outdoor dining during summer! Nice and quite side street.

Lovely atmosphere - Edit
I had a very lovely dinner in a very nice atmosphere. I ordered spicy noodle soup (you can ask to adjust the spicyness level😉) and it was very delicious apart from one thing. It a soup were used canned champions, which is totally strange and not acceptable for such a high end place… The other mushrooms were totally fine. I would suggest them to use more of shiitake mushrooms instead of canned champions. Service is very friendly and some waiters are speaking English very well. I will definitely come back.
Read morePros: All options are vegan, Good variety
Cons: Some dishes are slightly expensive , Canned champions in a noodle soup😡

Excellent food and service - Edit
The server was so kind and the food was unbelievably tasty! I had the mapo tofu over rice and the spice level was perfect for me. As a side I had steamed buns, which were perfectly textured. For dessert, I had the cinnamon buns - so gorgeous and not too heavy on the stomach either!

Best service - Edit
I went here last night with my friends visiting Seoul. Three of my friends are meat eaters and they could not stop talking about how good the food was. The staff there are so so so so nice and so accomodating! My friends have egg and nut allergies and were completely catered for. The vibe there is really nice and the prices reasonable. Recommend the kimchi dumplings and mapo tofu as highlights.
