Good food, but animal cruelty shown on TV - Edit
Ordered the soondubu jjigae and dumplings which were good, but the TV's showed videos of animals in poor conditions which is not something I would like to see while eating.

Antiabortista y desagradable - Edit
(Happy Cow no me deja poner solo una estrella porque el restaurante es vegano)
Read moreLa comida podrá estar más o menos buena pero, como se ha indicado en algunas opiniones, en el restaurante hay un par de televisiones que retransmiten un canal (con subtítulos en todos los idiomas) con mensajes antiabortistas y bastante sectarios.
No es cómodo ni agradable comer viendo esos mensajes, así que ni volvería ni recomendaría este restaurante. Me han dado ganas de irme sin pagar porque no quería dar ni un céntimo a gente con estas opiniones, pero no lo he hecho por educación.

Best place we've been in seoul - Edit
This food was amazing. We ate the sundubu jjigae and the Korean "chicken" wings which were made of mushroom. It was delicious and it came with various side dishes. You can order on a tablet so it's really easy.

I do not recommend - Edit
My friends and I had lunch in this restaurant recently. At first, everything seems fine until you pay attention to the TVs. A TV channel called "Supreme Master TV" broadcasts various clips, notably anti-abortion and pro-life. It seems to be the TV programme of a cult. It is unacceptable for such programmes to be broadcast. Even tho the food was okay, I absolutely do not recommend this place.

AMAZING DUMPLINGS!! - Edit
They had the best vegan dumplings for a good price!!! The fried soy protein was a bit bland but that’s on me for not getting the spicy ones.

So many options - Edit
A must try if you visit insadong.
Read moreAmazing varieties.
The locale is a weird mix of traditional Korean and modern vegan vibes. Resulting in a noisy ambiance, which isn't a bad thing, just setting the tone.

great ambiance, good vegan food - Edit
This place has a wide variety of vegan korean food. I ordered the bibimbap, and it was pretty good but unfortunately it was a little spicy, and they put the sauce over my whole meal and not on the side. There were a lot of dishes included in the price for the bibimbap bowl. This place is very affordable and a great value. It is in a traditional hanok house next to vegan dalsae which is also very good.
Read morePros: good value, good variety of food options
Cons: too spicy

Korean - Edit
A little into an alley off of Insadong is a cozy location. We had the black bean cold noodle and spicy tteokbokki. Entirely vegan and optional allium free as it’s run by Buddhists.

Cons: TV display is a little strange

Interesting? - Edit
There’s a lot of choice, taste was OK. Additionally, 3 TVs are on to deliver “constructive programming for a peaceful world” - praising Donald Trump and the Pro-Life Movement. Maybe not for everyone…

a wide range of choices - Edit
I still think about that restaurant months later. The food was delicious and I think what was particularly good was the variety of Korean dishes. Usually, the Korean food available in a vegan version is always the same. Here, there were much less well-known dishes and I was able to experience real Korean cuisine. The manager wasn't particularly nice but she was very busy with people. I forgive her because of the quality of the food. I'll be back again.

Went with high expectations - Edit
Found this a bit tricky to find. Did have big vegan sign but not the name as on happy cow. Wasn’t a warm, inviting atmosphere- but maybe the dude was having a bad day: food was easy to order and not too bad. Really wish that vegan places did a tasting plate so you could sample several dishes. As a solo-traveller it was hard to pick what to have! KFC wasn’t impressive.

Great Vegan Korean Food - Edit
You order from an english menu on a screen. We had the Bulgogi, noodles in black bean sauce, fried dumplings and the fried soy chicken for around 40.000 ₩. All dishes tasted great and the serving sizes were quite large. Some propaganda was shown on the TVs but could be ignored since they were muted

Interesting vibe and good menu - Edit
Quite large all vegan menu. The cafe seems to be affiliated with a (seemingly harmless) cult so there is weird pseudo-religious propaganda on the TVs, but the food is really good. Staff don’t speak much English but you order from a screen. Big serving sizes.

Great lunch spot in convenient area - Edit
This is a great lunch spot in a location that’s super convenient to lots of sightseeing. Service is fast and portions are big, plus they serve about a million banchan with your meal. The spicy wheat-meat stew and kimchi dumplings were a huge standout.
Read moreIt’s affiliated with the followers of the person who calls herself the Supreme Master, which I didn’t realize. The propaganda videos on the TVs all over the restaurant make me a little uncomfortable but this is a larger space which makes them pretty easy to ignore. I mention this only so people know what they’re getting into.

Delicious Korean Vegan Food - Edit
This place has an extensive vegan menu with traditional Korean food. If you want to immerse yourself in the food, this is the right place. Their tofu stew is delicious, they have a variety of side dishes (banchan) and the fried chicken is crunchy, sweet and spicy. It gets really busy and their last order is at 8pm. We accidentally ordered their L size of some of their dishes but it was really big for 2. We visited this place twice.
