ask for vegan options

I had the vegan tofu stew without shirimp paste, the staff was very accommodating. be careful with the banchan because it is not vegan I ate the seaweed thinking it was vegan but I think they used the same tonges for the dried fish heads because there were a few in my bowl, so not the best experience but stew was delicious! lesson to always be careful in korea!

Pros: delicious tofu stew

Cons: banchan is not vegan

Delicious Korean Tofu and Mushroom Stew

Delicious Korean Stew (hot pod) with several vegan options. We ate here twice. The tofu and mushroom stew was absolutely delicious. The second time, we ordered a vegetable pancake and it is a must try (make sure to ask staff for vegan option). Some of the side dishes are not vegan but you can enjoy a few vegan.

Great Korean food

The food here was gorgeous, we had a hotpot which between two people and the bench an was very filling. One thing to note is that not everything is vegan specifically the banchan which are provided with meals I learnt this the hard way as although indicating to the server I was vegan and could not have fish etc (in Korean) two of the six banchan given were fish based by a different server which I only found out after my first bite.

Tofu restaurant

A range of tofu stews. Asked for the green onion pancake to be made vegetarian. Very vegetarian and vegan friendly food in Seoul

Tasty mild stews and scrumptious pancakes

I called the restaurant the day before visiting and explained my requirements to them. The person who received the call was the co-owner of the restaurant (it is run by a married couple) and she patiently explained how she would be willing to prepare a vegan stock for me. She also made helpful suggestions and pointed out the items on the menu that could be made vegan. My friend and I ordered the mushroom stew and the pancake. Although the pancake normally does not include mushrooms the owners were happy to accommodate my request and added mushrooms to it. They do not serve single portions, so you'll have to order a minimum of two portions (just multiply the price on the menu by 2). It's a little pricey but I loved the service and the ambience. The decor is very 80s Korean, and the interior of the restaurant feels warm and cozy. Gets a bit crowded around lunch time. I would strongly recommend calling them in advance so that they have enough time to prepare the vegan stock.

Pros: Tasty stews and pancakes, Great ambience, Friendly staff
