So delicious

Came for Xmas eve dinner, no reservations and we were seated within 15min, yay. Everything was so delicious, especially the tofu chicken and shallot apple salad. We ordered two starters and two mains and that was too much for us. The portion are quite large and we could have done 4 starters and been fine or 2 starters and one main. We had to take our mains home and they gave us containers to do so. I think the prices are fair and plan to make this a monthly spot.

Same name different place

So even though they have the exact same name they're two very different restaurants. The Itaewon location is a little less expensive and the food is not quite as good as this location. Frankly I didn't review it because it was okay and enjoyable but I didn't want to recommend highly.

I loved the Dosan location however. The food was absolutely phenomenal. It is expensive but the portions are substantial. You don't need to order too much.

The staff was very friendly and helpful. I sat at the bar and it was a nice experience.

I strongly recommend this place for a special occasion but at these prices I won't be going everyday.

Pros: Delicious fresh food., Fresh fried corn chips., Quality ingredients.

Cons: Not cheap. At all.

Creative + International!

The lemon cream tofu chicken is probably the best vegan dish I've ever tasted! Nice atmosphere, international creative dishes!

Tasty food

Visited as a solo vegetarian business traveller. Had the chick’n nuggets, pumpkin salad and asparagus. All were fine.
Seoul used to be a desert for vegetarian food so it’s great to see places like this opening up. Please support it!

Big Portions, interesting & good good

Went here with Omnivores. Everyone liked their food a lot. The only thing we weren't crazy about was the Persimmon Sorbet.
Highly recommend the Lemon-Cream "Chicken" Tofu & the Chocolate Cherry Ice Cream.

Pros: Great taste, Big portions

Delicious innovative vegan dishes

Every time I come here I am blown away by the flavor combinations! The set up of the restaurant is also very high end. The prices are completely reasonable given the quality and presentation of the dishes. I personally prefer this location over the one in Itaewon. #Veganuary

1st time at the Dosan branch

Still superb, my family really enjoyed the open kitchen. We talked with the chef about our vegan family and he gave us a real nice chocolate ice cream 😋

Absolutely delicious

I came to Monks butcher with my partner last night, from reading the reviews & looking at the few pictures attached I was expecting it to be nice but I was also expecting it to be a little 'Monk' style cafe (something a bit hippie, something casual) but this place exceeded my expectations & the food was absolutely delicious & soo fresh!
When you walk in, it feels like an upmarket modern restaurant with an open kitchen which I love!
We shared the 'ceviche' for entre, it was so fresh I could have eaten it all to myself.
For mains we got one of the tofu chicken burgers & 'beef' burgers, both amazing too!
Definitely somewhere you should try if you're in Seoul :)

Pros: Ambience & colour palette, Open kitchen, Fresh ingredients

Best vegan beef burger ever

Have to say that this was just amazing. From the iced chamomile tea (they made it by my husbands request) to salad and burgers, service, ambience... perfect.
It was nice to eat some fresh vegetables and fruits😀

Pros: Very kind, friendly staff, Food, Ambience

Cons: Pricey comparing to other restaurants

Restaurant vegan absolument fantastique

Dans un cadre très chic avec cuisine ouverte, Monk’s Butcher propose une petite sélection de plats 100% vegans, dont un burger au tofu-chicken, des pâtes à la moutarde et un tourte aux légumes du soleil. Vraiment superbe et délicieux !

Tasty, Pretty, What else?

Monk’s butcher is always good. I could trust them from day 1 when they started in Itaewon. They push themselves not staying in the comfort zone. It is not so fancy, not so casual, but really like Monk’s Butcher. Satisfaction!

Upscaled fusion veg dishes

In South Korea, if you heard the word "Gangnam," then you would associate it with chic, trendy, and/or expensive. That's the feeling I got when I visited this place. I haven't been to the original location in Itaewon, but looking at the menu on the Net, the Gangnam's location has a menu that is different. There were 6 of us eating, so we basically ordered just about everything on the list. The dishes were balance in taste as in they aren't over-powering, and easy on the palate. My only complain is for the lack of ventilation. Being in the basement during Winter doesn't allow free airflow because the door has to be kept closed. Since it is an open kitchen restaurant, when there are many orders to be fulfilled, the place gets stuffy
