Stressful Experience for Vegans

A tricky experience. They do have vegan options, but the portion and pricing structure is challenging for solo or budget travelers. I accidentally ended up with three servings when I only wanted one, which was overwhelming and stressful. The staff seemed confused due to the language barrier, and it caused an awkward situation. If you go with friends and are ready to share, it could work, but be aware of the minimum order rules and double-check before ordering. The experience was very stressful and I didn't get to eat in the end. I just watched my friends eat.

I did just read a review saying seafood is secretly in the food though so maybe triple check if you go here it’s vegan (now I’m glad I didn’t get the food after all how great is that, feels good after reading that review just now).

Pros: Vegan food exists (triple check though), Food itself seemed good, Staff eventually removed mistaken order

Cons: Minimum order (2+ people) not clearly explained, Very expensive for solo/budget travelers, Embarrassing and stressful experience

Fake vegan

Positive: Staff was very friendly.

We came here because of the reviews. Two main courses, that can be done vegan. Thus we ordered one pot for two with plenty of side dishes (vegetable and pickles).
By eating the zucchini I realized a fishy flavor, but I thought it was because of the seaweed I ate before.
But after a supplement of zucchini we found shrimps below. That was disappointing. Especially when you are allergic to seafood like me. I had cramps afterwards.

Suggestion is: Be honest to your guests. Not just trying to offer vegan because people ask for. If you don’t have it, that’s fine. But in my opinion it seems to get a piece of the vegan community cake.

Price could be reduced if you order vegan style. Beef and seafood costs much more than mushrooms and vegetables.

Pros: Staff was friendly, Clean, Free water

Cons: Not vegan, Accidentally shrimps with zucchini , Price

If you are looking for something in the city center

Gyeongju is a city rooted in Buddhism, but most temple cuisine restaurants are quite far away.
If you’re looking for something closer to Hwangridan-gil, be sure to check out this place.
You can order rice in a hot stone pot (솥밥) for an additional 3,000 won.

Cons: Only one vegan dessert
