Steady menu & New menu harmonize well. Be loved by diverse people - Edit
Since they renewal some menus, I love this place more than before. Overall the taste of foods are great not only main dishes but also cakes & drinks as well. The owner and chef put things well together over years. All staffs are friendly.

Big selection of food, cute interior & nice atmosphere - Edit
We really liked the Smoked Chorizo & Beans, the recommended Mushroom Burger was messy and fell apart but had good flavour. We didn't really enjoy the Cauliflower Wings with the Buffalo sauce, it was so sour our eyes were watering & I really like sour foods but this was so tangy it was overpowering. The Roasted Veg & Tempeh wrap was good.
Read moreThe table next to us ordered one of the salads which looked really good - we wish we had ordered one.
Overall the food was ok, everything came out quickly. We had a delicious blackberry smoothie, coffee was ok but not great, they had a huge selection of cakes and after reading the reviews I wish I tried a slice!

So great, just wanted a bit more spice. - Edit
Plant cafe has an amazing ambiance and good vibes. The hummus is so delicious. Our family got chili cheese burger, Philly cheesesteak, chili cheese fries, cheese fries and their new Cajun chicken sandwich. The inner fat kid was very happy 🥰🥰

Great - Edit
- Philly cheesesteak - very good, but on the healthier side rather than the more realistic stretchy vegan cheeses
Read more- kofta - very good, but needs rice
- hummus squash salad with added tepeh - great
- Raspberry lemon cake - excellent!
Plant based and they use organic sugar!

Warm cafe with western food and baked goods- allergy friendly - Edit
I came her twice while in Seoul. Baked goods, coffee, and food was so great. Staff was very kind and double checked allergens! Would recommend the smoked chorizo and beans dish.

Cozy place with great food - Edit
Been here a few times when visiting Seoul. Food is always great. Last visit we had the teriyaki stir-fry which was the best I’ve had. It is large portion so you could probably share.

Tasty - Edit
Very good, my absolute savior as it’s open so long. Staff were always nice to me and spoke English so I didn’t have to try my slow Korean :)
Read moreNot sure why people complain about the prices, this is a restaurant and 9€ for a burger is perfectly priced to me.

Nice food, but overpriced - Edit
The food was good.
Read moreOnly issue was that it was quite overpriced. You have to pay extra for fries with your burger and it cost 8000원 for half a beer. It also didn't say on the menu that the beer was so small for that price or we would never have ordered it

I tried the moussaka and although it was a creative version of it, it was very tasty. The portion was a little small for the price.

Food is good but some staff aren't very welcoming. - Edit
I visited this branch a few times last year and had a great experience, but unfortunately this year I didn't have such a good time.
Read moreI went to order my food at the counter and when I said which drink I wanted the member of staff repeated it as if I was asking for something that didn't exist, I checked the menu to make sure I was right in what I was asking for and then they found it on the system.
I then ordered a burger but without coleslaw, the staff member seemed to be having trouble with inputting this in their system but I didn't think much of it at the time.
When our food came my burger had what I would describe as coleslaw on it, I mentioned to the staff member that I asked for it without coleslaw and she said it wasn't coleslaw, before I could even reply another member of staff appeared and asked what was the matter and I said I'd asked for no coleslaw and she said it wasn't coleslaw but it was Salad, however the other items which should of been on the burger (I believe it was some sort of pickle and sauce?) were missing.
The food is nice (although I only ended up eating the top half of my burger which wasn't touching the coleslaw as I hate mayo!) and the restaurant itself is lovely, be prepared for a bit of a wait as it can be busy at times!
Cons: Some unfriendly staff

Not as good an the other location - Edit
I got the Mac and cheese at both locations and this one dulls in comparison. The noodles weren’t cooked all the way and the sauce was bit watery.

Really relaxing upstairs restaurant serving modern vegan dishes. Both items were delicious and staff friendly and helpful. Service was quick despite there being a few customers. Would highly recommend if you’re in the area.

Ok burger - Edit
I'm never that impressed with Plant's food. I had the mushroom burger. It was nice but I've had far better burgers in Seoul. Also, the chips were way oversalted and an extra 5000 to add. This is my first time trying the food at the itaewon branch and it was sufficient. I like the restaurant itself though and the staff are friendly enough. Their best meal by far is the pomodoro pasta with soy sausage. I'll stick to that if I go again.

Nothing special - Edit
The food was good but tasted like something I could easily make at home. Expensive compared to other vegan restaurants in Seoul. Service was also a bit rude.

Delicious vegan food! - Edit
I visited here several times in 2019 and it was absolutely amazing. They have great vegan comfort food, dessert, and healthier vegan food as well. The seating is limited.
