No obvious veg label but several very nice veg options

Went twice while on a work trip here. The place has several tofu veggies rice or salad kind of options; vegetarian options are marked but it’s best to be cautious and check the more detailed allergen board inside/ask the staff. The spicy fried tofu was very tasty the first time, I got the tofu salad as take-away the second time. (The cold dishes are all ready to take in the fridge, it’s pretty fast if in a rush.) The price is a bit on the expensive side, but the quantities are in my opinion very generous (on the tofu too).

Very little seating and only outside, not sure there’s a bathroom either; 50 cents off if you bring your own container for take away.

Pros: Spicy fried tofu!!, Detailed allergen list available, Generous portions

Cons: No vegan labels , Veggie options might have fish sauce, Not so suited to eat there

Good food, friendly staff, vegan options bit unclear

Nice Korean place that offers at least two or three vegan dishes including different types of tofu, rice and vegetables. The staff here is very friendly and knows about veganism, we were kindly explained whats vegan. Their menu itself though only differenciates between dishes that include meat and "vegetarian" dishes (of which some are sadly actually not vegetarian as veggies were prepared in fish soup) but at least three dishes are definitely vegan, the menu marks ten dishes in total as meatless. Warning: the kimchi though marked as vegetarian is not! It includes fish sauce! My recommendation is the tofu gong jeong, the salad is a bit bland but the crispy tofu is absolutely amazing! Even my omnivore friend that tagged along and tried a bite preferred it over their own dish, its truly delicious. The place itself isn't particularly cute but its hugely popular for take away. It takes payment by card only.

If you look up their menu online instead of the one they have up at their shop it marks these dishes as vegan:
1) Salad of sautéed tofu accompanied by green oak salad, white cabbage, carrot, cucumber, sweet potato, apple, pine nuts and walnuts with Yuzu sauce.
2) Spicy fried tofu served with rice, salad and white cabbage with soy sauce
3) Tofu sautéed in sweet/salty soy sauce served with rice, salad and white cabbage in soy sauce

Pros: Staff knows what is vegan, Friendly service, Great spicy tofu

Cons: Meaning of vegetarian label on menu is blurry, No cash, No vegan kimchi
