Vegan restaurant. They made attempts to make meat dishes using plant based meat. It taste ok. I think they can jusy make vegan dishes and stop trying to make meat dishes vegan. Like the corn dog was absolutely fail.

Lower rating due to kids working there just isn't friendly.

The waitress is very friendly and patient with my special dietary preference (I.e. no onion and garlic). While there are only 3 items that my family and I are able to consume from the menu, they are by far the most delicious sandwiches and cold noodles we have during our leisure trip in Seoul. Highly recommend this vegan restaurant/cafe!

Updated on 14 Oct 2024: The restaurant has changed their menu. All items contain alliums.

this is the place where i discovered that they put sugar on hot dogs in south korea?? it was like eating a vegan hot dog out of a donut dipped in ketchup and it was good but also incredibly confusing. we also tried the jjajangmyeon/pasta fusion dish which was pretty tasty as well, but nothing exceptional. we also bought an iced matcha latte made with rice milk and were given a litre of rice milk as part of an event? we weren’t expecting it so we giggled a lot and it was fairly heavy to carry around for the rest of the day but it was fun enough to be worth it. the matcha wasn’t great though - too sweet and you could taste the rice milk more than the actual matcha unfortunately. however - a guaranteed vegan meal is always appreciated!!!!

3 stars only because it's vegan friendly, but the salad wasn't great. The minestrone was quite watery but decent enough. My partner said the pasta tasted like a ready meal. Very junk-foody and quite poor quality. Wasted potential. I've been twice, in case the first experience was a fluke but honestly, there are better options around. I don't understand the reviews saying it's amazing.

Would give 5/5 if they switch to fully vegan menu. I was kinda disappointed that they couldn't replace oyster sauce with the vegan one. I live in Finland and I can buy 2-3 different brands of vegan oyster sauce from mushrooms exported from Asia...
The vegan options were tasty tho (^_^)/
