釜山必吃素食餐廳 - Edit
太太太好吃！地點稍遠，但是餐點非常好吃，無五辛，是間讓人想再次光顧的店。店裡座無虛席，可以現場後位，菜單有英文。

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!

Good food - Edit
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!
Read morePros: Very yummy food, Authentic, Staff speaks english

A bit overrated - Edit
We were very excited to visit this restaurant. Food was ok but nothing out of this world. I’d prob go again if I’m hungry and in the area.

High quality vegan food - Edit
We were thankfully able to find this restaurant quite easily and rode the elevator to the top floor. We arrived at around 18:30 and had no trouble finding a table. The menu was quite big and in the end we decided we wanted a bit of everything and went for a pair of vegan set menus, of which you need to order a minimum of two. We also ordered the deep fried oyster mushrooms to share. Each thing was about 20,000 won, so quite expensive for South Korea, but the quality of the food was really high. The mushrooms were really good to share, but I probably wouldn't recommend a whole portion for one person. The batter on them was really lovely though and they had a perfect texture.
Read moreThe vegan set menu was amazing. The variety of dishes was just incredible and pretty much everything on the tray was a highlight, but especially the cube of tofu, the fake prawns, sesame dressing on the salad and the tofu soup.
I'd definitely recommend the vegan set menu if you are a bit unsure of what to go for. We both loved it!
Pros: Vegan set menu - all of it!, Fried oyster mushrooms to share
Cons: Quite expensive, but probably worth it

No reasons to go there. - Edit
What I had (a tristesse combination of mushrooms, rice, tofu) was completely disgusting. Bad smell, bad taste. Couldn‘t eat it. My wife had the bean cutlet, which was little better, but also no reason to go there. Orher guests also didn‘t look happy with their food.
Read morePros: It is vegan (in South Korea, wow!!)
Cons: It doesn‘t taste

Wonderful Chinese food - Edit
Went on a day they had a special on a Chinese dish and it was wonderful! I had the pleasure of sharing dishes with some Korean vegan locals and we all got to delight in trying the different dishes. Beautiful, fantastic food.

Good vegan tonkatsu! - Edit
I accidentally came here on a vegan party day and the atmosphere was really nice. They had a special mandu menu but I got the vegan tonkatsu which I was dying to try. It was really good! I wish it came with more rice and sauce though. Saying that, the presentation of the meal was really nice. I would come here again to try their other food and probably have the tonkatsu again. It's a little walk away from gwangalli's main beach area but it's worth it (or catch a bus). There is a view of the sea but depending on where you're sitting it's not reslly visible. Overall great option in the area!! Also I read one review that it was expensive. I can't see how. The vegan tonkatsu was 12,000₩ ???
Read morePros: All vegan, Friendly staff
Cons: A little far out from the main area

Delicious and beautifully presented food, good portions. 9th floor - Edit
The restaurant is lovely with a calm ambience. It has simple nice decor with calm music in the background. It’s located on the 9th floor! Easy to mistake it for the wellness centre on the 2nd floor.
Read moreThe food is delicious. One review mentioned that they heavily rely on meat substitutes. They do use them, in many dishes but in a way that is very different to other restaurants. Their mock meat is different to the standard staff you’d get in the freezer section of the supermarket and some other restaurants. The mock meat is also not the star of the meal and integrates well with the vegetables and the sauces used.
Two dishes absolutely stand out.
We came twice as they’re that good and one of the only vegan restaurants in the area.
We particularly liked the bean cutlet, which is like a mock meat cutlet in a flakey batter served with sauce, salad, a soup, pickled cabbage and kimchi.
We also loved a bean protein dish with veggies and lotus leaves (pictured with the almonds).
The other dishes we had and loved were the noodles, rice avocado roll and fried oyster mushrooms. #Veganuary
Pros: Very good food, Large portions , Only vegan restaurant in the area

Did not live up to the expectations - Edit
The restaurant relies heavily on meat substitutes, so if that’s not your thing, you probably won’t really enjoy it.
Read moreThe prices are also higher compared to most other vegan restaurants in Busan. I wouldn’t go again (and wouldn’t really recommend it either).
