Delicious Food!

Wow! We stopped by this place for lunch and it was amazing (chefs kiss). The attached pictures does not look all that, but I promise you the reviews/hype is worth coming! I throughly enjoyed everything and the owner was super sweet and friendly. It was a meal that we needed before starting off our long day of exploring Busan😄Highly recommended.

The owner is so kind!

The food is so delicious and the owner is so sweet. It’s traditional Korean food vegan version! Definitely go if you are in the area. She also has a little vegan shop you can buy chocolate or ramen.

LATE REVIEW (UPDATE SOON)

I was there a year ago. Back then, the menu was only in Korean.

We have ordered the chicken, wonton soup and another soup. It was a lottery because of the lack of English translation.

Everything was amazing and the owner was coming every 5 minutes to make sure that we still have food on the table. We couldn’t leave the restaurant hungry haha.

She gave us a whole bag of tangerines. Like literally I would add a review for her. An amazing women.

The food also.

I see that the menu is translated and I’m very exited to try it again and upload an updated review. We all know that sometimes (after the time), the food quality getting worse, but honestly I don’t think it would apply to this restaurant.

See you soon,

Resto vegan moyen et épicerie

J'ai pris du poulet vegan taille small, mais la dame me fait comprendre que je dois prendre autre chose parce que c'est petit. J'ai donc ajouté une soupe de vegan dumplings Servia avec bankchan. La soupe et les dumplings n'avaient pas de goût, en revanche, le poulet (qui était en quantité importante) et les bankchan étaient bons, surtout le vegan bulgogi ! J'en ai repris 🙂
Partie épicerie intéressante. Mais le repas m'est revenu un peu cher 27 kwons...

Pros: Bon poulet vegan, Bons bankchan (surtout le bulgogi), Copieux

Cons: Un peu cher

완전 맛있다 - 집에서 만든 식사 - Awesome.

Fresh, delicious, modest, vegan owned and operated kitchen a block from Namsamjeon metro. Everything about this restaurant was totally acceptable.

Open on Sunday afternoons, filled with neighborhood vibes and humble prices. I ordered the home cooked meal which came with seven tapas and then chef/owner brought out three more and then just as I thot I was going need to be airlifted home she dropped off another two items.

All of them were totally delicious! So good I came back for more. The best vegan spot in Busan.

Exit the subway (Exit 1). Stay on the main road going south east (not up the big hill to your right, but straight ahead towards where the incline leads to red pavement). In three mins, find some silver stairs wish fishy paintings on the steps. Go up. One more block on the right.

Delicious Korean food.

Delicious vegan Korean food off the beaten path. The owner is lovely and friendly. Menu in Korean only. Enjoyed the vegan chicken so much I forgot to take a photo! Also had the set menu with yukgaejang soup. It was excellent! Close to Namsanjeong St Exit 1.

Best food I’ve had in Korea.

I felt a bit silly for going so out of my way and taking an hour bus just for this food but it was so worth it. The food was so good, homemade, delicious and tasty. If you’re looking for traditional korean, this is it.

The owner was incredibly kind, cheerful and attentive. She cooks and serves the food. I had the set menu and the soy chicken, couldn’t eat all of it so she gave me a little takeaway bag.

The restaurant is lovely, small and cozy, she has a few tables and I was lucky there wasn’t many people the time I was there.

Honestly, I am so happy after this meal. She also had some vegan treats available for sell.

Delicious homemade food

The restaurant is a bit off the main areas of Busan but close to a metro station and totally worth the trip. The owner is super friendly and helpful, she does everything herself. We went there twice and tried almost everything on the menu and everything tasted great. It was a lot of food, but if you can’t finish the owner can pack the rest for takeout. Prices are very reasonable and include a lot of side dishes (which taste really great).

Pros: Friendly owner, Tasty food

Best food I've had in Busan

This place was recommended to me by local vegans, so I knew I must visit.
The food was amazing! I ordered the chicken, squid, with lotus leaf rice. It was A LOT of food, so come hungry or don't order too much. The size L is enough to feed 4 people.
The meal came with lots of delicious banchan, soup, salad, and a roasted rice congee type of dish.
This place isn't hard to find: take line 3 to Namsanjeong station, exit #1. Walk straight from the exit and cross the street to the right at the first light. Then continue walking until you see the steps on the right side. Go up, and straight and the restaurant will be on the right side. It's about ~5-10 min walk from the station.

Pros: Delicious food, Large portions, Sweet and friendly owner

Cons: None!

This place is wonderful!

First, the owner, Mrs Ree, is such a sweet person and is fun to talk too. Herbanchan are delicious and can be refilled. We tried both soups and I preferred the homemade dumplings! The fried chicken was phenomenal paired with the homemade aoli. Its a little out of the way but well worth the trek!

Pros: Amazing owner, You can taste the homemade-ness!, Takeout available, good grocery selections

Cons: A little far, but worth going!

My favourite in Busan

One of my favourites in Busan by far. If you are graving for home-made vegan Korean food this is the place to go to. The owner told us that she has been vegan for 20 years and you can taste that long experience in her food, which is just awesome. You can get the daily meal for around 8000 won, which includes a soup, rice and maaany side dishes. I can also really recommend trying the “fried chicken”. Even my friend, who eats meat, loved it.
However, be aware of the fact that the owner doesn’t speak English and that there are only a few tables in the place.

Pyeonhan Jipeeeee!

Hands down the best comfort food in Busan. Her service is excellent, kind, and sweet. The food is delicious, home made, and 100% vegan. She even sells vegan products for you to use at home. Would 100/10 recommend.

Pros: Vegan products to buy, Free vegan map and wifi

Cons: Limited seating (make a reservation)

Home cooked Korean food

This is a great small restaurant. The lady who owns it cooks different small dishes every day, and you can have an assortment of these as the basic menu or also order a different main meal to go with them. The food is always delicious and the owner is very welcoming and kind. It’s definitely worth making the trip here even if it is a little far from the main areas of the city!

Pros: A lot of variety, different dishes every day, Lovely staff, Reasonably priced

The food was tasty, and ordering extra soy chicken wasn't really necessary. Even the side-dishes had lots of mock meat.

Perfect name

It was so good! When you arrive, you automatically get the 7,000 wons menu that has a bowl of rice, a bowl of soup, and four to five different banchans. Then you can add whatever you want for a supplement. The three of us got the 콩치킨 (soy chicken) and loved it. It was more than enough food. Since you have to go up the hill to get there, once you get your food it is quite comforting, haha. My non-vegan friends fell in love with the 콩불고기 (soy bbq meat).

Pros: Tons of banchans, Delicious 콩불고기, Sells meat substitites, agave syrup, etc

정말 편하고 맛있는 집밥

푸짐한 한 상의 한식을 비건으로 맛볼 수 있어요. 반찬 하나하나 맛나고 정갈해요~~ 채식 오징어튀김도 있는데 진짜 오튀같아요😘😘 (8월은 영업 세 시까지만 하고 콩국수랑 열무비빔밥만 가능하대영)

Pros: Vegan
