Unique Fusion Place - Edit
As we entered this tiny, mostly take-away style place, the one staff member working offered me a seaweed snack out of its plastic container which was quirky but cool. There were several large posters on the walls explaining some of the dishes and how the chef owner (Italian counselor and tantric yogi?) and his wife invented them. I ordered the kimchi lasagna because kimchi lasagna! My husband got the Bolognese lasagna. While the dishes are homemade, there's no kitchen, so the food is heated up and served to you. The serving size was generous and the spinach side salad was tasty. The kimchi lasagna was spicy and I enjoyed it but my husband didn't like it. He did like his lasagna though. They have chocolate mochi (it's quite sweet but good) and chocolate mousse (not that sweet, very creamy) and next time we'll try the chocolate gnocchi, because chocolate gnocchi! The non-alcohol drink selection was limited.

Worth to visit! - Edit
As a lover of lasagne I tried lasagne Bolognese, and it did not disappoint! As a side there was a baby spinach salad with the most delicious dressing.

Had lunch there the other day, fabulous Kimchi in four different flavours, my partner had the noodle soup also delicious. The chef gave us a complimentary bruschetta which was the best I have tasted. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Highly recommended.

Bijou and welcoming - Edit
Small place but big menu and tasty food. I mean, Korean-Italian fusion, who would have thought it? I had the sausage kimchi and thoroughly enjoyed it. Prices very reasonable, beer and wine served (all vegan of course). Vegan Yes? Yes.

Disappointing except for the amazing kimchi. Also cash only! - Edit
I was so excited when I walked into this place. The concept is so cool and the man who greeted me was very hospitable. I asked for a kimchi side salad as an appetizer and they allowed me to try all (four!) types of kimchi. I then ordered a main dish and waited for over an hour for my food as I watched everyone around me get theirs (including one woman who ordered the same dish as me, but after me). They were rather passive about it when I pointed out they had forgotten me and did nothing to make up for the fact. The main dish itself (the gnocchi) was actually rather bland.

Will definetly visit again! - Edit
I‘m so lucky I stumbled upon this cute restaurant. It‘s such a cool idea, the staff was open and friendly and chatty and most importantly, the food was AMAZING. I had the kimchi lasagna and was blown away. And the dark mochi desert is now my favourite. I‘ll be so happy when I can show this place to my sister!

Mochi addiction - Edit
Sweet little cafe and the chef and staff are just gorgeous. The food is really unusual with so much thought and good intention behind it. You feel healthier the moment you step inside! But be warned, you will leave with a Dark Mochi addiction...

Healthy and Flavorful!!! - Edit
SO GOOD!!! If you’re obsessed with kimchi and you like amazing, nutritious and flavorful vegan meals (instead of junky fried and bland British food), please try this place! This place can definitely beat LA Korean kimchi! You MUST try the Lasagna kimchi!!! A . The sausage is not bad too. They have four flavors of kimchi - red (by far the most delicious and spiciest), yellow (second best), and purple (not bad) and green (which we did not try but it is flavored with mint and added spirulina). The mochis are good too! Oh and we met the the chef and owner! Super friendly and hospitable.
Read morePros: All vegan, Very flavorful but can be a bit salty for some. , Kimchi! What else can you ask for!
Cons: The joint is small but cozy. , No AC but there’s a fan. , A little salty but it has fermented dishes.

Their hemp dog is the best vegan hotdog I’ve ever tried (and I’ve tried many...), while the dark mochi is just pure bite-sizes deliciousness 🤤

wonderfully creative food by husband/wife hosts! - Edit
This is Korean/Italian fusion. We loved everything we ate here. And had to take away more dishes to try! Top marks for innovation! The Kimchi lasagne was delicious, the mushroom gnocchi was great. We can’t wait to try the lasagna bolognese with homemade mozzarella. There’s a also a great range of vegan wines. NOT TO BE MISSED!

Great for a quick casual meal - Edit
This is a very small and friendly place on Brick Lane. It might be described as a vegan fast food place. There are some creative dishes mixing Korean and Italian ingredients and the chef is a lovely man who explains the various items on the menu. It's not particularly cheap but the food is good and full of flavour. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area.

Really interesting - Edit
First of all, the owner is the nicest guy. First thing, as soon as I enter, he offers me a piece of what I can honestly say is the best bread I've ever tasted. Then I asked for suggetions, and tried a (sorry for nor remembering the name of the dish) gnocchi and some korean pasta fusion, with a bit of spice, and tomato sauce, and sesame seeds... It was pretty amazing. And he even brought me more bread to scrape the plate. Flavours: amazing italian-korean fusion, MUST TRY.

Quality food served with a smile - Edit
We visited "Vegan Yes" on our way back to Euston after a long day visiting family. We're so happy we walked 20 minutes out of our way to try some Italian/Korean fusion. We were treated to samples of homemade foccacia and bread/olive oil whilst our takeaway meals were prepped. We also had a Green Moringa latte whilst we waited, a first for both of us and it was absolutely delicious - the perfect pick me up for weary travellers. Onto the food, we had Lasagna, Toppognocchi and Kimchi salad, additional dressed spinach amd foccacia "for mopping up". It was all beautiful and it made our train journey back to Manchester much more enjoyable. Thank you "Vegan Yes" for being so friendly and providing us with much needed nourishment.
