Variety of Vegan Korean Dishes - Edit
We ordered the set menu for dinner for 23.000 ₩ pp. It was great to try all the different dishes though some of them were lacking a bit of flavour. Recommend to make a reservation (easy, via email) since there was a sign that they ran out of food and would only serve guests with reservations

Delicious Vegan Food - Edit
This place was amazing, the experience was really good to us. The food is temple style, so expect no garlic, onion nor really salty food. The owner was so nice to let us eat without reservation and during lunch time. She even gave us a courtesy dessert (most delicious traditional Korean dessert with tea) because of the wait. The flavors and course was like a symphony. They offer rice in lotus leaf. A must visit restaurant.

Best Vegan I have ever had in Seoul trip - Edit
首爾最推薦的純素韓式精緻料理——MAJI ⛩️
Read more裝潢非常傳統美麗，有種置身於韓國寺廟中，莊嚴而美麗的感覺✨ 每一道菜感覺也很用心、味道層次豐富卻又不會太重口味—— 當中以圖一的泡菜冷麵和圖二的MAJI薄餅最為出眾🥰
- Maji薄餅的口感煙靭而表層薄薄的香脆🤤 微咸、帶有酸酸甜甜的獨有味道，果然是自家製獨家MAJI薄餅😍 榮登今次旅程暫時心目中第一位❤️
- 泡菜冷麵以啤梨汁 泡菜為重心，非常獨特出眾加上爽甜的冷麵，清新爽口而開胃
Pros: 裝修風格很禪風，座位舒適, 老闆娘非常友善、禮貌、主動聊天, 食物味道非常好吃，又不會太過重口味

One of my favourite dining experiences during my trip to South Korea - Edit
It was so fun sampling all the dishes and banchan. Lots of contrasting flavours and new tastes and textures.

Delicious and satisfying - Edit
The banchan was tasty. Their mains were less so and less interesting than I expected. Their pancake was delicious and crispy even when cold at the end. They were very kind to let me in even though I didn't have a reservation.

Vegan gujeolpan! - Edit
Called in advance to order the vegan gujeolpan, which was really good! Really pleased as haven’t been able to find this elsewhere. Also ordered some kimchijeon which was nice. Really enjoyed tucking into both while sipping on some iced omija tea😄

Not aMajing - Edit
Expensive but only average food. Multi course meal is really just lots of small plates - and some are quite bland as other reviews have said. The location and building are nice though.

Lacked seasoning - Edit
The food was okay. I was expecting mind-blowing food due to the other reviews, but everything was just okay and a bit disappointing.
Read moreI wouldn't recommend this place when there are tons of tastier (and less expensive) vegan options to choose from.
All food was lacking seasoning, but my guess is that's just how temple food is so I can't fault it much.
My favorite bit was the maji pancake and lotus steamed rice.
We didn't have a reservation, and only had to wait about 10 minutes to get seated. Staff was friendly. Interior was beautiful. Great location.
Pros: Good location
Cons: Lacking flavor/seasoning

Just ‘okay’ - Edit
Can’t lie, I was a little disappointed here given all the 5 star reviews. It wasn’t bad, it was just okay, nothing spectacular especially in comparison to other vegan restaurants we have visited throughout Korea. Dishes were very simple and lacked flavour. Best dish was the cold noodles.

Pros: Hanok setting, Friendly service , Tea at the end

Temple Food Set Meals - Edit
5 to 10 min walk from Gyeongbokgung Subway Station Exit 2, within walking distance from Gyeongbokgung Palace. Fully vegan and allium-free menu that mainly focuses on temple food. Apart from an a la carte menu, there is a nicely presented lunch/dinner set featuring smaller quantities of various dishes. There are also more elaborate set meals that require reservation and pre-order. Friendly staff!

Lovely place - Edit
Great Restaurant with great service, we felt very welcomed and the food was delicious. We ordered the set menu for 2 and it was great. The owner took the time to explain every side dish and we loved all the food. It was a great experience and definitely worth a visit. One of the best meals we had in Seoul.

Tasty temple food - Edit
Very cute and easy to find restaurant. The place is run by a woman by herself, and someone else in the kitchen, but she goes back and forth, so even if it’s not fully packed they get busy and things may take a while, we waited about 20 min to get a table.
Read moreThe food is good and really tasty, most set menus requiere prior reservation, but a few do not. I tried the lotus wrapped rice menu cause I wanted to try the pancake as well. There’s also a page on the menu for main dishes and extra side dishes. My only complain would be that most of the dishes don’t have any protein, except if you order a side of tofu, but it’s not included on the set, but you can get full with the set luch.
Overall, very tasty food and not too expensive (almost 27€ for 3 people; one lunch set, two main dishes).

You need to eat here! - Edit
The staff speaks English and you have an English menu as well. The food was soooooo delicious and I ate everything despite being full. You have very nice options and whatever you pick, I promise you’ll like it. They were extra friendly as well. When it comes to prices, it is not the cheapest restaurant in Seoul but the prices are pretty reasonable and affordable.
