Vegan options at least

Located on top of Namsan-Tower, one of Seoul's major sights, this restaurant offers a Korean food buffett where everybody can choose what they want to eat directly. The price for the buffet maybe a little bit high, considering that most of the dishes are not vegan and only some are vegetarian. But at least there is the option to eat on top of the tower in a more elegant atmosphere, while overlooking the city.
Hence, it seems like a compromise if you wish to eat on top of the tower, enjoy Korean food and are perhaps in company of people who follow diverse food lifestyles.

Included in the buffett is an extra main course, which for vegans and vegetarians is a serving of soy protein seasoned like Korean beef barbeque (kong bulgogi 콩 불고기). I enjoyed the salad bar and eat my fill, but overall the buffet was not as large as Korean buffet chains e.g. Gyejeol Babsang (계절밥상) or Jayeon Byeulgok (자연별곡).

Surprisingly, the ricecakes (tteok 떡) were not vegan.
