Worth the trek - Edit
It took us a while to get here but it was easy via subway (cafe is a short walk from Maebong station).
Read moreWe got the soy cutlet, Korean “beef” stew, fried “chicken”, a mocha, mocha Frappuccino, choco cream cake and a vanilla ice cream. I wouldn’t order the cake or chicken again (a bit bland and the chicken is too oily for my liking but we had to try it!).. but everything else was sooooo good! I’m so happy to have gotten my ice cream fix especially! I definitely recommend a visit here. I’ll be coming back for more, for sure!
I was pleasantly surprised that there was a vegan store attached so you can also buy packets of vegan cutlets, burgers, steaks, biscuits, sauces, cosmetics etc. They said they could deliver by post too if we wanted!
The staff are really lovely and cheerful. They speak a fair bit of English too.
Overall, we left happy and full :)
Pros: lots of choice , great atmosphere , vegan store attached
Cons: no self-baked goods

Restaurant and store - Edit
Food was delicious. I've ate here several times and the stews are amazing. The ice cream is very good as well.
Read moreThey also have a store of vegan products which can get hard to find in town such as mock meats, cheese, soups, cereals, cookies, pasta, sauces and even pet food.

Nice experience - Edit
I went to Loving Hut in Gangnam, a 7,000 won cab ride from the Express bus terminal, had bulgoggi jiggae which was spicy, nice veggies and a fair price of 6,500won.
Read moreThe restaurant/cafeteria style had a beautiful assortment of sorbets and an attached store with many products. This would be a great place if I lived near. Apparently a couple other vegan restaurants are nearby per The Happy Cow, also Cheers~
Pros: clean and welcoming, have ice cream, simple and economical menu
Cons: location difficult to find without taxi, store a bit pricier than others, only 3 side dishes

Vegan Korean food and ICe Cream! - Edit
This place is definitely worth the long walk from the subway station! They have a great mul nam mien and bulgogi soup. The ice cream is also a must. They also have a little grocery section where you can buy frozen veg products.
Read morePros: food that pleases everyone., easy grocery section, reasonable prices
Cons: A bit far/hard to find.

Love this place - Edit
The only thing that motivated me to travel 50 minutes to gangnam was this restaurant. This place is a safe haven for vegans. We ordered the soy cutlet, tomato pasta, strawberry smoothie, tea and some icecream. The soy cutlet is pretty much spot on to the real thing. The pasta is very flavorful and a tad spicy. Icecream was pretty amazing. Total came out to around 30000 won. Not bad at all. I would recommend this place 100%. They also have groceries and other goodies like vegan ramen so stock up while you're there!
Read moreFor those trying to find this place, use the map in this app to locate it. It's the right one. The website takes you to a different place which is wrong.
To get there: Exit no. 5 of yangjae station. Walk a good 300ft toward the right and you will see a bus stop. Take bus no. 18 and stop at guryongsagori stop (after 3 stops). I used the map above to find the rest of the way there (5 min walk)

Loving Hut - Gangnam-gu! You got to love this place! :) - Edit
Since many folks have already written their great reviews on this restaurant, I’m going to keep mine short if possible. :)
Read moreOne great thing about this place is that in the restaurant, you will find not only delicious vege dishes but also lots of vege snacks, bread, instant noodles, ice-cream, etc. If I remember correctly, they also sell some cosmetics for vegans. The shop in the restaurant is actually bigger than I thought. There are basically so many things for vegans to buy. So if you go there for just a meal, I highly recommend that you check out their shelves. I’m sure to say you will find something interesting there.
I like most of their dishes, so if possible, you had better try them all.
However, one downside of this restaurant is that it is located in a somewhat inconvenient place. Thus, if you are not familiar with the bus system in Seoul, I suggest that you take subway and get off at the Yangjae Citizen's Forest Station and walk to the restaurant or take a cab.
One last thing. Their last order time is 8:30pm for Mon, Tue, Thur, Sun, and 9:30pm for Wed, Fri, Sat. Then please be ready to be amazed, folks! :)

IN LOVE - Edit
This was seriously amazing to me, with a shop, huge menu, big and comfy place. They have a very large menu to my eyes, and they even make korean traditional food but vegan which is amazing, if you are into korean food this is the perfect place. They have many tables and sits, a lot of space.
Read moreEverything is super delicious, I literally indulged. I had the whole pizza, ice cream, vanilla frappuccino (I think that might be in season). Their fruit flavours ice cream tasted really natural. I seriously recommend to try it all. I'm definitely coming back.
From the subway stations around you can get there in many ways, you just have to search which bus to take on google maps. To get there for the first time, I used the instructions a user posted some time ago so you can read them below, they were very accurate and you don't walk much.
The address here in HappyCow is the correct one, the website doesn't have it right.
Pros: DELICIOUS VEGAN FOOD, Super nice staff, A lot of space
Cons: None to be honest

Nice Place - Edit
A charming cafe restaurant. A little out of the way to get to so you would probably need to take a taxi depending on where you are. Went for lunch on a Saturday. Vegan burger and vegan pizza were on the menu but sold out :(. Tried the bulgogi (a touch too bland), spaghetti (good) and the cutlet (good with a great tangy sauce). Vegan ice cream for dessert. Over all a nice experience. Prices were not the cheapest but not excessive.
Read morePros: A good few option (when not sold out of certain it
Cons: When I went it was busy and really loud inside.

Well worth it - Edit
Don’t use googlemaps to get here! It leads you to an animal hospital by a pizza place whereas the actual restaurant is a few streets behind and along. The map from happycow takes you there perfectly. I had almost given up and it was close to 9 when I arrived so I just about cried when the young guy working there said I couldn’t get the burger. I thought he meant they had stopped serving meals but he was just saying they had sold out.
Read moreThe English menu is behind the counter (I’ve uploaded a pic). I ended up with the spicy hot pot and fries. Wow, I’m used to Japanese portions so it was way too much food for me. The hotpot came with a big bowl of brown rice and 2 side pickle type dishes. It was very tasty. I don’t like fake meat but this was okay – not too realistic. Nice and hot too. The cakes looked a bit dry and uninteresting considering the price (5000-6000) but the icecream looked nice (the flavours are in Korean but the teenager working there spoke enough English to probably tell you what they were, or you could taste them I’m sure).
The shop is sterile and the fast food type uniform incongruous but who cares really. Thought it was very good value for money and there’s a bus stop close by. Lots for sale – pretty expensive but if there’s something your heart is set on then good chance to stock up.

Pros: english menu, quite a few options

Sad to say, but if you don't get there by 1, maybe 2 at the latest, the soya burgers are going to be sold out. They only make like 5 a day, which makes no sense, since they are open until 9. I absolutely hate having to compete for and chase down food.

Happy to have it nearby - Edit
The savory menu is fairly small here. They also have a coffee bar and a number of desserts. The lady working behind the counter was very kind, super helpful, and had some solid English skills. Though the previous review mentions their menus are in Korean... if you ask, they have an English version behind the counter.
Read moreI wasn't blown away by my food. It was standard Loving Hut cuisine. It was just nice to go out and not spend a bunch of time and energy deciphering the menu. The baked goods I sampled were on the dry side, but the ice cream was pretty good. They have a well-stocked grocery section on one side of the cafe, which will probably draw me back here occasionally. Though some of the items are extremely expensive, you can pick up a number of snacks (healthy and not) for normal prices. Legitimately vegan soymilk is 3,000. And if you're looking for vegan ramen, they have 5 different brands and a total of 7 flavors.
Updated from previous review on Saturday February 16, 2013
Pros: open through out the day, all vegan with kind/helpful staff, groceries/snacks/ice cream
Cons: baked goods leave much to be desired, savory menu fairly small, not a lot of options for fresh veggies

Amazing! - Edit
From walking inside the restaurant with my family, the lady on duty greeted us very nicely and was super sweet/patient throughout the meal. We asked lots of questions and I took pictures of the whole place since we were the only ones there; no one seemed to mind. I recommend having the menu on your phone/ knowing what you will order beforehand, because its in korean. The menu is pretty much the same as the one in Sadang. I ordered a noodle soup which was delicious, the broth tasted like french onion soup and there was veggie meat in it which was really good but a little too convincing IMO. They also have this hot sauce that tastes so good with your food. My parents and brother ordered the Big Burger with fries, and I couldn't stop stealing their fries, they were so delicious and tasted very homemade! It came with organic ketchup which was lovely. In my pre-vegan days, I used to love going to Kraze Burgers. Well in tasting that burger, it brought me back...tasted exactly if not better than my favorite burger in that omnivore place. Not even kidding! Also, the nice server said they had messed up the order in the kitchen, and they brought out a free brownie as a treat! It was so huge and rich dark chocolate, it really hit the spot. After dinner, we all got ice cream, and the lady let me taste some before ordering. I don't remember the name of the kind I got, but it was coffee-flavored with chocolate/coffee crunchy cookies in it. I was seriously in heaven! It has been so long since I've had ice cream, and that tasted even better than what I remember ice cream tasting like. My non-vegan parents got Affogatos, and they raved about it all night long! Seriously, any vegans/vegan-curious people NEED to visit here! They also have a little shop stocked with all vegan stuff, things like So Delicious ice cream and vegan meats. Lastly, I was sort of worried about the whole 'Supreme Master' thing, and if it would be awkward being there, but the TV is always on mute and there were hit songs playing. They played mostly Maroon 5, which made me like that place even more. I could probably go on about my experience there, because it was such a relief finally going to a place where I didn't have to worry about what I ordered or if there would be something for me to eat. I could order whatever my heart desired and I had no care in the world. I'm definitely going back here, and I want to try all the Loving Hut's in the Seoul area. I visited on Jan, 6 2013.
