Perfection!

Wow! Loved everything that we ordered. Based on the recommendations/reviews, we ordered one of each of the pastas, burgers, and dessert (charcoaled waffle with ice cream). Everything was perfect and flavorful. We enjoyed the tea that was served as a welcome. The staff was super friendly. Make sure to make a reservation! We weren’t able to it online as we didn’t have a local Korean number, so we called using the phone at our hotel.

Great burger, friendly staffs

I didn’t have high expectation for their burgers, but burgers were really good. I tried the vegan fish sandwich made with tofu, and it was spot on. Staffs were friendly, interior was aesthetically pleasing and the staffs were friendly.

Not to be missed while in Busan!

The food was terrific, the staff was friendly and even the dinnerware was superbly eclectic. And the prices were great.

Not to be missed for anyone - vegan or not. Take your non vegan friends to show them how vegan food can be even better than meat and dairy focused dishes.

Pros: Incredible original vegan food, Terrific friendly service, A beautiful atmosphere, including the great music

Cons: Nothing

Agreed - best pasta we've had in Korea

We read the other reviews - and promptly made a reservation through the "Find a table" link on Google Maps, which takes you to a site called Catchtable.net, which was super easy. I can see why they might be strict on taking reservations, as there is only one chef and the place is very small. We agree that the pasta is definitely the best we've had in Korea! Highly recommend, we also really enjoyed the aesthetic of the restaurant.

Yummy & aesthetic!

As soon as you walk in the smell of the food made us so hungry, very cute spot and such yummy food.
We got the entree and both pastas and they were really good!
Have to make a reservation, we struggled on their site so I messaged on Instagram and got a quick response.

Great experience!

We enjoyed eating at ARP. The food was great and the staff was friendly. Generally we would recommend checking this place out when in Korea.

However, the biggest struggle we experienced was the reservation process. Maybe we didn't find the English site but when wanting to confirm the reservation we always got sent back to the restaurant's general site. At some point we gave up and had someone help us. Although it's quite complicated you should come with a reservation only, since the restaurant is rather small.

Some people mentioned that the food wasn't served at the same time. We experienced the same, however we shared my partners meal first and then mine, which worked out well for us.

Pros: Delicious food, Small and quiet place

Cons: Difficult reservation process

@intcultcom: We reserved one day before going there. So time isn't the problem. The difficulty was the language barrier. This place should definitely be on your itinerary😊

Minimalistic space

We had the bracken pasta, chamnamul pasta and the burger. Our favourite was the bracken pasta, different textures, a little bit of spice, a lot of umami. Also the beetroot ketchup you get wirh the burger is delicious. Everything is prepared in an open tiny kitchen next to the tables. The restaurant is minimalistic and very fancy which I typically don't like, but the food was extra good.

Basically reservation only

Don't go if you don't have one, they'll say it's full even if there are many tables open...

They couldn't seat ONE person in a half empty restaurant

5 for food, 1 for service

I was so excited to try this place based on reviews. Got there at 12:30 to an almost empty place, they said they were booked and to come back at 1:00. We did, and the place was still empty. At this point not a big deal, but the service went downhill fast. Got ignored for the first 15 mins and they didn’t take our order. They had no desserts and only one drink as everything was already sold out. My burger came out in 15 which was great, but then we proceeded to wait 30 more minutes just for our drinks. I was eating as slow as I can but my partners meal still hadn’t arrived. 45mins after we sat down, I had completely finished my meal, then his dish arrived. Don’t get me wrong food was excellent, just staff were slow and not attentive at all. Bit of a disappointment

Pros: Flavour

Cons: Slow service , Ran out of menu items early, Inattentive staff

Best pasta in Korea

The place looks incredible and has a very cozy yet elegant vibe. The food is AMAZING, pasta was a perfect mix of the cultures. The burger too was one of the best ones that i’ve ever had.

Best Burger

This little cozy Vegan Restaurant makes the best Burger ever👌🏽. We ate 2 Burgers just because it was so tasty. But also the cake is very delicious, and the service is very polite.

Pros: The Burger, The Cake, The Service

Cons: Nothing…😄

Best vegan restaurant in Korea

This was probably the best restaurant I’ve had the pleasure of visiting in Korea. The place is aesthetically pleasing, the tea was amazing, the pasta that I got was extremely tasty and the portions were good. Don’t skip the dessert! The girl who worked there was very sweet!

Sold out

The burger looked very tasty so I ordered it, but it was sold out. I then ordered another option which was also sold out so I had to choose a third option. I chose the Bracken Pasta. Really good !

Pros: The food, The decor

Cons: I had to go for my third choice

Refined and well balanced courses

Excellent and very refined courses. Big crush on the dessert : charcoal croffle with coconut gelato on top! Nice restaurant.
Main courses between 12 000 and 16 000 wons.

For the dessert

Dishes are not exceptional.
The place is very nice as well as the service.
The dessert is excellent (Croffle with coconut ice cream), I recommend going there just for that.

Cons: very good dessert

Fantastic food, great staff

This was a great meal! The menu is limited, but what they make, they make perfectly. We went at 4:30, but they were closed for break time. We went on their Instagram and were able to make a reservation for 5:30. It was definitely worth the wait! Everything is made to order, so dishes come out one at a time. We ended up splitting our meals so we were eating together. Do not skip dessert, get the croffle!!

Cons: Break time is not listed here under hours.

Artistic vegan restaurant

And the last order is 7:00pm.
The restaurant Closes at 8:00pm.

I recommend you to get a reservation before you come here. these days, as the vacation started so reservation is full. The seats can be limited. We are so sorry that you might not be able to seat if you didn’t. The reservation is needed.
(the application : catch table)
