Nice lunch, healthy options - Edit
Always happy to find places offering healthy options. There’s nothing I love more than finding a simple but fresh and well executed salad, a strong espresso and hydrating juice bar. As simple as that. This place did not fail on any level and I left feeling great.

My favorite place💗 - Edit
Went to PLANT when I was doing my exchange semester. I went to the first location and had the soup, a smoothie and an amazing desert. I can not explain how happy I was since it was my first time going to a vegan restaurant in Seoul. Also got to meet some amazing people there.💗

Tasty food, nice Interior and staff! - Edit
I really love the food in Plant. I had never been in the same restaurant so often in such a short time as I was here.
Read moreThey offer different salads, wraps, bowls, burgers and even pasta. All dishes are so colourful (perfect for photos, haha), tasty and full of nutrients. The combination of ingredients is well thought out and so worthwhile.
What I really liked were the special days. Like Taco Tuesday. They always had different taco variations and even made the supreme burrito as a taco. It wasn't on the menu anymore, but once as a taco. So it was the only way for me to try it!
If you are visiting Seoul only for a short time, I can recommend the Biryani Garden Bowl, the meatball sandwich or the Tempeh Rainbow Wrap. In general, all meatballs and tempeh strips are perfectly seasoned and oh my God, I don't know how they do it, but for you it's like an explosion of flavors in your mouth!
As for the cakes, they change daily depending on how quickly they are eaten. Chocolate cakes with or fruitier cakes They have everything. And they also offered a German cherry cake called 'Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte'. I was very happy about that! 🍰
Even though I'm a chocolate type, I can recommend the pumpin cookie cake, orange chocolate cake (Jaffa Cake) and the coconut-passion fruit cake. Excuse me, if I don't remember the exact name anymore. 😅
Pros: Friendly staff, You get your food really fast, Delicous Food
Cons: A bit pricier

Really enjoyable lunch - Edit
At first I wasn't too sure about the portion size when my dish arrived, however I was proven wrong as I couldn't have eaten any more food. I got the mega burrito which was on its last day, so there will be new special now - but they still do the breakfast burrito! All I can add is that it wasn't spicy even though it was a Mexican style dish, so that's the one thing I'd like to add, but I guess for others maybe that's a welcome break from Korean spicy food.
Read moreI also had the chocolate peanut butter cake which was perfect.
My Americano, burrito, and cake cost around £15 in total which is fine for a meal out imo.
Pros: All vegan, Super friendly staff
Cons: Gets busy so things sell out , Could be more generous with burgers as no fries

Food is always good, large portion sizes and staff are friendly. Food is kind of expensive for Korea, but for the amount that you get, I think it's quite good value. Tried cakes, stews, noodles and burgers- all has been tasty.

Ethusastic staff, great food. - Edit
I have been to Plant three times now and I've not had less than a great experience. Depending on what sort of food you want, Plant has great options for everything from the vastly indulgent burgers and cakes and Mac and cheese to the healthy and delicious mains like their curries and stews.
Read moreThe staff are always very friendly and seem genuinely passionate about the food, the mix of whole food and Vegan junk food classics makes for a refreshing change from vegan restaurants that only target one style.
Their tempeh sandwiches and wraps are super good, and if you don't get either I strongly suggest ordering their smoky tempeh on the side just so you don't miss it.
Their burgers are great, a little on the soft side compared to what a lot of places are going for on their burgers, but it feels like a much cleaner burger than I'm used to at restaurants now, so I don't walk away feeling full of rubbish. Their cheeses seem to be mostly made in house and all hit the spot, especially a fan of their mozzarella they put on some of the burgers.
I think that regardless of how unhealthy your dish sounds (smothered burgers and creamy Mac and cheese) because the components are all made in house, the whole experience feels very clean and not full of oils etc, without compromising on the taste.
I will definitely be back to Plant as soon as I land in Seoul again.

Great place for a vegan experience! - Edit
I highly recommend visiting this place for some delicious vegan food - I was there with my parents and both of them enjoyed the food and they are non-vegan. I ordered lentil bowl, my mother plant cheeseburger and my father creamy fettuccine. Only thing that my mother said was that the burger was a bit bland. For dessert we had snickers tart carrot cake. I also tried for the first time vegan eggnog - it was very good! The service was very friendly and welcoming.
Read morePros: Has a lot of vegan options, including gluten-free, Interesting and delicious drinks, Delicious desserts

Great menu! It's awesome that they have snack options. I got Bowl of hummus with toast. The bread tastes good and pairs great with hummus. It's a bit grainy for hummus, but it only means its homemade.
