Late Dinner - Edit
After a long day of exploring in Busan, I was grateful to come across a vegan spot that was still opened. I was so excited to try this place out based on the amazing reviews, so I had high expectations. The food was okay. I appreciated the options/effort and made the most out of the dishes we ordered.

Decent. - Edit
From reading the reviews, we expected more. The food was decent, but the prices are high for what it is. It's also a bit out of the way.
Read moreWe had a mushroom and tofu dish, which was good and a sushi roll that was ok. Dessert was also good.
Service was friendly, though slow.

Delicious traditional food - Edit
I ordered the Lotus Leaf set (minimum order of 2) and it was amazing. An all vegan bento box with mixed grain rice steamed inside a lotus leaf topped with pine nuts and beans, sweet and sour vegan “pork”, fried vegan cutlet, salad with tahini dressing, some fruit, natto, tofu stew, side dishes: kimchi, pickled lotus slices, greens and vegan dried squid, dessert: vegan yogurt topped with apricot purée, shaved chocolate and almonds. The space is spacious, peaceful and they have a lovely Japanese toilet too!!

Worth making the effort for - Edit
We visited here on our last night in Busan and it was worth the effort. Lots of choice, from stir fried vegetables and noodles to avocado rolls but we had the temple style food which was incredible and included some homemade vegan yoghurt as a dessert too.

Yum yum yum - Edit
This place delivered. The portion size was generous with lots of options. The food was delicious, I wished I could’ve eaten more. The view at night was great especially when the nearby bridge had a light show going. Definitely worth a visit.

Expensive, but delicious and big portions - Edit
This was the most expensive meal we've had in Busan, but wow, it was very delicious and we ate way too much! The portion sizes are really big, we weren't able to eat it all! We got Course B, because unfortunately Course A (our preferred choice) was only available if you book at least 2 days in advance. Hope you like mushrooms!!! They were in almost every dish, but we're not complaining!
Read morePros: Large portion sizes , Great flavour
Cons: Expensive, Course A not available unless pre-booked

Very pricey - Edit
We had the menu which was 40.000 won per person. Since we normally got a temple food menu war 15.000-20.000 won I think it was overpriced. Nonetheless I must admit that every dish tasted good and even better than other temple food we had in comparison. They used a lot of mockmeat like shrimp which I really dislike.

Amazed with the flavours - Edit
This was such a delicious treat! We loved all three dishes and would certainly come back to try other things in the menu. The warm tea, the menu with English descriptions of ingredients, the welcoming staff, everything contributed to a lovely and cozy experience. Highly recommended! And the price was fairly reasonable too (32€ for three dishes).
Read morePros: The flavours of all dishes, The cozy atmosphere, The location right in front of the sea and bridge

Love it! Must go in busan - Edit
Enjoyed the delightful dishes at this vegan spot. 😋 If you are going to Busan soon, save this down! The Spicy Vegetable soup with assorted mushrooms, bean sprouts, bean protein, taro stem, bracken, and brown rice was comforting. The Vegan Yogurt, fermented in-store, and the refreshing cold drinks added to the enjoyable experience. The entire meal cost around 30ish SGD. Restaurant is pretty spacious and clean-comfortable looking (calmed my soul haha).

Delicious food, nice view! - Edit
We went there on our first night in Busan and we were not disappointed! We took the 8-course-menu for 40.000/person. The food was delicious and was served in a beautiful way, but the taste was also not super special. The courses contained a lot of mushrooms, which we really like, but there could have been more variety. There was a piano music in the background, which was very nice. One thing that bothered us was that the air conditioner was way too cold. We changed the table twice (before we got the food.) Still, we can recommend it and would come back when nearby!
Read morePros: Delicious food , Nice view , Music in the background
Cons: Air conditioner too cold, No super special taste either

I had the avocado rolls which were good. There was a sea view all around, however I was not seated close to the window so no sea view for me.

Good if you're in area - Edit
This felt a bit of the way, it was a 25 min walk from Centrum City, next to a convenience store and a garage, through a door (it says Narang above it) with up to 9F! Inside it's lovely though, windows all round with views, clean and bright with nice music playing. I was unsure how big the portions were, how much to order etc., and so were the couple next to me. But the waitress was helpful. I got the bean cutlet with rice. It was a bit greasy and didn't have much flavour itself, but a good texture. It came with a side salad, rice, and a fruity sour sauce (a bit like ketchup - it was brown so I'd expected peanut!) It also came with soup, kimchi, and pickled cabbage. I also had a non alcoholic beer which was nice, and they give you iced tea for the table. It was nice but I'd not go out of my way to come here again I don't think.

Tasty temple food - Edit
Ordered the lotus leaf rice set and fried oyster mushrooms. A few bits in the rice set were a little bland for my taste, but overall really enjoyed everything. The bean cutlet and fried oyster mushrooms were particularly good, and the view from the table as the sun set was fantastic!

Very good! - Edit
We were very happy to find this place. The food was excellent! Everything is vegan and authentic, not so much "westernstyle" but more like local dishes. We were 5 persons and shared 6 different dishes (five main courses and an appetizer). Not the cheapest restaurant in Busan, but the best vegan place we found there. Definitely a recommendation!
