hidden gem

perfect place if you’re looking for vegan food in Itaewon. it’s only a 10 min walk from the station, a little hidden away on the second floor of a building. the food is amazing and not expensive and the owner is really lovely. i strongly recommend😄

Pros: food, atmosphere

A must visit

Really great place in Itaewon. The restaurant is really small in the second floor, but the vibes are excellent and the food is delicious.

The girl running the restaurant speaks English and is super nice. She explained she only serves ssambap as a main meal, and there is a couple of soups you can take with it too. There are two types of ssambap, spicy or non spicy, and both are delicious. The vegan beef was very juicy and well cooked. We also had a stew the owner recommended, at was a bit spicy and very flavorful. Side dishes and lettuce/perilla leaves are refillable for free. There is no plain water to drink, but barley tea.

It isn’t expensive either, and since it’s a bit further from the most turisty area of Itaewon, it was easy to find a table (for lunch on a work day). Closed on Tuesdays and Thursdays tho.

One of the most affordable & sincere foods in the town

Some of Korean’s soul foods are here! Affordable price, tasty, generous portion. Music there is my kind of taste so I could eat food under such a good mood. Their foods is like everyday home meal style which I really liked. Most are vegan, a few is vegetarian.

unique interior with super delicious Pho

The staff is super friendly and the Pho is incredibly delicious. The banana-chocolate smoothie (more like a shake) was also super tasty.

One of my favorite meals

Seasonally changing menu, so check their IG. Location isn’t on Naver so you’ll have to manually put the address in to get directions.

비빔막국수 Was so amazing I came back twice. And the iced barley tea that is self serve is refreshing and delicious on the hot day I was there.

Narrow staircase to go up to the 2nd floor so not accessible for wheelchairs.

Nice interior and delicious Korean food

I love this place that has a warm atmosphere. And there are many vegan options. My favorite is Gamjatang sujebi, spicy kalguksu and redbean kalguksu.
I can feel chef's effort. And you can enjoy often because of inexpensive meals.

Cozy, affordable and delicious!

Since their opening, I've been going to Morning Jam at least once a week and have never been disappointed. The interior is really cute and cozy, the portion size is generous and the food tastes amazing!

My favorite is the 들깨칼국수, make sure to get the 감자전 as well!

Pros: Tastes good and cozy, Really cute interior , Cheap prices (max 8000krw)

Cons: Wish I could have vegan kimchi jeon!!

Affordable and very comfy restaurant that opens early

It's nice to see a place that is not expensive and opens early and during the time where most other locations have break times. Food was good! And it's nice to have a place with vegan Korean food in Itaewon !

Pros: Cheap, Mostly Vegan, Only 2 non vegan options !

Cons: Only 2 non vegan options! (Hopefully no more soon)
