Fantastic Option

Beautiful cafe, only one vegan option, but it is excellent. The one option is listed right on the order screen. On the day we were there the staff did not speak English. However they were very friendly and the order screen has English and the staff were happy to use Google translate. Would definitely go here again. The
link in Apple Maps worked great. I also put the address in Naver, but that did not work. But Apple Maps took us right to it.
When I spoke with the staff they said they are open everyday and the day we ate was a Tuesday.

Good dish, not vegan by default

When I went there, the order is self-made via a machine at the table. The dish is noted “vegan” so I did not specify anything. The rice came with a fried egg on top and one of the side dish was fish cakes.
So it maybe useful to specify to the staff if you are vegan.
The dish was spicy and excellent.

Pros: Tasty meal

Cons: Called “vegan” but not vegan

life saver

When you are a vegan in Sokcho it’s not so easy to find food- so this place was a live safer fr ! There‘s only one vegan meal on the menu, but it was super delicious and filling (and compared to Seoul so cheap!). The owner was super kind. I can only recommend !

Pros: Price

They have only one vegan option (it's even titled vegan in the menu) but it was super delicious, the staff was nice and the atmosphere is a bit fancy. Was very happy there.

Unfreundlich und ausverkauft

Wir kamen um halb acht und wurden unfreundlich beim Betreten des Restaurants darauf hingewiesen, dass sie ausverkauft wären. Sehr unglaubwürdig! Nicht empfehlenswert!

We arrived early (before 5:30) and he very kindly invited us in.

Pros: The tofu fried rice was excellent., Quirky decor - with a stack of surfboards., The chef knew exactly what vegan dish to prepare.

Delicious, Easy to find, cheap!

Nice atmosphere. I came here after hiking in Seoraksan all day and the staff helped me even though I speak no Korean. 9,000 won for the vegan tofu dish.

Really yummy!

Vegan option on menu

Having struggled in South Korea to find vegan options, finding a vegan option in the menu here was great. Really tasty meal, tofu, rice and delicious. Can't recommend enough.

Not vegan, but can veganize one delicious tofu meal.

Not vegan, but can veganize one delicious tofu meal.
The address in Happy cow was wrong so I added a picture of the right address. I hope Happy cow will change it soon or it will be hard to find. We found it with the help of a nice Korean man who was plowing the land where the restaurant was supposed to be.
Ask the chef to prepare a vegan meal and to not make it spicy if you don’t want that.
The restaurant is a bit out of the way so check if it’s open.

Pros: It was good

Cons: Staf doesn’t speak English, but the chef understan, Only one dish

Simple but delicious meal!!

This sweet restaurant in Sokcho can veganise one dish - tofu in a sauce (a bit spicy), rice and banchan. It was delicious!! I explained in Korean that we are vegan and they immediately understood; would work with an English explanation too, I assume. We went there twice and it has been a wholesome vegan Korean meal, which we enjoyed a lot.

Nice cosy place with a good vegan option

There are very limited vegan choices in Sokcho so I was very happy to find this place! The staff understand what vegan means and they can make you a tofu rice dish. It was simple but nice and filling!

Pros: Friendly staff, Nice cosy atmosphere, Decent portion size
