Not a lot of options, but overall very good - Edit
I went there with my girlfriend. There isn't a lot of options for vegetarians and even less for vegans, but enough choice if you like noodle soups. Note that the 콩국수 acclaimed by other comments isn't available in winter and spring, so we couldn't try it. I took a 들께칼국수 which was absolutely delicious and which I recommend, but she took a 수요조사 which was mediocre (didn't have much taste). They offer radish kimchi which is vegan, and classical kimchi which is not vegan. You can order on a device which English option, so language isn't an issue. The meal came in ~20 minutes, which is reasonable (even though there weren't many people in the restaurant). Overall a good restaurant, that I recommend if you want guksu.

Place closes at 8:30pm and they pre papare the bimbimbap. - Edit
It was alright, there was one vegan option and the bimbimbap was pre made and they offered to remove the meat. I can’t eat food which has touched meat but if you can then your options are.
Read morePros: Only limited vegan options
Cons: Pre-prepared bimbimbap and they offer to remove., Not able to make fresh bimbimbap.

Good, authentic and affordable - Edit
This is a restaurant that offers mainly noodle or soup dishes.
Read moreFood is hand-made and pretty good - authentic, comforting Korean food.
Kimchi is refillable according to preference - the regular napa cabbage kimchi contains fish sauce, but the kimchi made of diced radish (kkakdugi 깍두기) is vegan. After telling staff that I don't eat kimchi with fish sauce ("젓갈 들어간 김치 안먹어요."), they brought me an extra serving of vegan kimchi. 😊
On top of that, the servings are pretty large and they even give extras upon request.
For example, vegan Patjuk normally comes with 3-5 rice cakes, but at this location a regular serving of Patjuk is filled with a dozen of rice cakes! Their Patjuk base is also smooth and free from any bean skins - different from other restaurants!
In the summer, they offer Kong-guksu (콩국수), which comes with chewy, hand-made noodles in super thick and creamy soy milk, and then they also separately sell the soy bean broth in bottles.
It is located close to the subway station "Seoul National University" and since it is quite popular among locals, it can get a bit busy/noisy at times.
