Really good! - Edit
The location on google maps and naver is corrected now. The soup/broth is not vegan! However, they can knock you up a stirfry that is vegan, so fear not, and I double-checked this as I speak a little Korean. The stirfry was delicious, really! And you get complimentary rice and drinks, so feel free to ask in case they forget to offer any.

Good option in Jeju - Edit
The map location pin is incorrect however if you look for the street name and number you should find it, it is upstairs inside a building overlooking the intersection. Pick up a bowl and fill with pick your own ingredients, lots of tofu, mushroom and veggies. We had the fried and soup version of malatang, staff speak Mandarin and can point out which sauces are vegan. Best option in Jeju for a hot filling meal.

The only good option - Edit
The adress had been change, so you can now use the adress written in HappyCow. The restaurant is on the second floor.
Read moreThe only good restaurant with a vegan option in the center of Seogwipo!
It's a hot pot, they will ask you directly if you want the vegan broth or not, and then you just have to choose your ingredients that you will pay by weight!

A lot of soy products and mushrooms - Edit
Interesting concept: you can place ingredients from the salad bar to the bowl, pay for the weight, and then the cook will make you a soup out of it.
Read moreThere are several different tofu, several mushrooms, soy sprouts, noodles, and some other veggies.
You can choose the spiciness of the broth and add some seasoning after it is cooked.

Pros: Many options , Highly customisable food
Cons: A bit hard to understand what to do

Fun spot! - Edit
I enjoyed this place. The vibe is very fast-casual, but I loved the business model. Basically you choose a bunch of vegetables, tofu, noodles or tteok, herbs, etc from a big salad bar and bring them to the counter where they are weighed for you. Then you choose your broth and level of spice (on a 4-point scale). Probably because I am white, the worker immediately asked via translation app if we were vegetarian and confirmed they could use a vegetarian broth. There were several styles of tofu and tofu skin, about six types of mushrooms, dozens of noodles or rice cakes (careful though, one is stuffed with cheese so ask for help), and other options for making your own soup. My eyes were definitely bigger than my stomach, so go light as you make your bowl. They give a LOT of broth.
Read moreThe broth itself is fairly bland but it’s easy to improve using the condiments bar. I asked for a level 3 spice and was warned it would be very hot; I said it was ok but when I checked my receipt they had actually only done a level 2! 🤪😂 It was decently spicy but not crazy spicy. I enjoyed the level 2 but it wasn’t super hot… I get that a lot of westerners aren’t always used to the true spice level of a country they’ve traveled to, so I understand their caution. Fortunately, the condiment bar has extra chili oil so ordering it more mild and adjusting up is not a bad idea if you want to be careful.
The condiment bar also has pulverized garlic, chopped scallions, and sesame paste that helped give the soup more complexity. Once I added the condiments it was really flavorful and I had a blast eating it. I could imagine going back and trying different ingredient or flavor combos. This time I mostly focused on all the gorgeous mushrooms.
An important note though: Happy Cow’s embedded map shows the wrong location (I’ll try to update it if I can figure out how), and exporting to Google Maps couldn’t find it. I figured it out by using a different transliteration in Google Maps and confirming against KakaoMap. Search “Xinlongfu Maratang Seogwipo Branch 제주섬신룽푸마라탕 서귀포점” instead to get the correct location if you don’t know the area well without a map. It is on the second floor above the Jeju Beer Fountain Main Branch, across from a CU. You could also search the Beer Fountain address to make sure you find the right spot.
Overall a great and fun experience! And the Beer Fountain is cute for a drink before or after you meal, too!

Good option - Edit
The store is not easy to find. It's on the second floor across from a CU. The store's name is written in Korean.
Read moreThe menu does not mention that they have a vegan broth. It only mentions bone broth. So I asked them multiple times if they have vegan broth and they assured me they can use a broth made with vegetables.
The hot pot itself was delicious. They took the ingredients I gave them, separated them and cooked a nice soup. They had condiments you can add to the soup once it's prepared.
Pros: Highly customizable hot pot, Delicious
Cons: Hard to find the store, if you can't read Korean

Went here everyday - Edit
Not many options for vegan food at night here, but this place saved me every time. The worker was really friendly and asked me if I was vegetarian. The are unable to do the dry stir fry vegan, only the soup. Plenty of vegetables and such to choose from. The happy cow coordinates are not right.

Yummy😄 - Edit
I like all the veggies and mushrooms, tofu types, and different noodles. The soup is slightly watery but still good. I got a level 2 spicy and it was perfect. I do like spicy ness back home but not when my mouth is on fire. The staff immediately asked us if we were vegetarian when we walked in. They were familiar with the term ‘vegan’. There’s plenty of seating as well.

The location is not quite correct on HappyCow. It helps if you can copy and paste the title of the restaurant and paste into Google maps. If you can’t copy the name from HappyCow, screenshot it and copy it from your Photos app if you have an iPhone

yummie but spicy - Edit
It's a chinese buffet style soup restaurant where you choose your favourite ingredients. The price depends on the weight. The staff was very helpful and tried to explain the procedure in Korean and Japanese (and English translator).
Read morePros: You can choose your own ingredients., A big variety of noodles, vegetables and mushrooms, You can choose to level spicyness
Cons: Not so easy to find , The soup is more or less always the same , (very spicy)
