Fully vegan & good! - Edit
The food was tasty and just our style. Our kids are happy to have “Asian” food in general and this place has lots of good options. The prices are really decent compared to other vegan restaurants. They also provide small plates making it easy to share meals and have a good balanced meal!
Read moreWe ordered the black bean noodles, fried rice, kimchi dumplings, buns, sides of rice, and the dessert of cinnamon glazed buns. Nothing went to waste because it was all just so tasty!
Service was also pretty fast and friendly!
Pros: Fully vegan, Good prices , Lots of options

Extremely delicious - Edit
The food here is really delicious! I love the options they have on their menu and I’ll definitely go back again to try more of the dishes. I ordered the spicy soup with noodles and mushroom which is probably my favorite dish so far. I also ordered the fried dumpling salad, which was okayish (only reason why I’m giving them a four star). It was bit dry in my opinion. The sauce it came with was delicious but the stuffing was dry. And I ordered the Mabo-tofu which is definitely one of the best mabo-tofu’s I have had in Seoul. We shared this between two people and it was more than enough for us. I’m definitely going to try the other dishes and will recommend this place to everyone!

Great K-Chinese food that just happens to be vegan - Edit
I love the food here and the management tries hard to make sure all ingredients are vegan. This is one of the best place to drag nonvegan friends. Hard not to love Alt.a

Lovely fancier vegan food - Edit
A little fancier and stylish than most places in Seoul, but still good prices. Lots of Asian dishes to choose from. Staff at this restaurant and the other branch in Dosan were all incredibly kind to me. Kitchen seems to close at 21:00.
Read morePros: Great vibe and very friendly, Delicious fancy food , Positively different to other places in the area
Cons: Menu has no photos of food, but we have Happy Cow

Best food I tasted in Seoul, very gentle staff. - Edit
We found this place by coincidence when we walked by and since we were already looking for a good vegetarian place it was heaven to eat here! Really nice dishes, a fusion of different kitchens. After diner the staff gave us free vegan products to try, very very nice. I would visit this restaurant a lot if I could 😉.

Lovely experience - Edit
ALT.a provides delicious food for very reasonable prices while delivering the atmosphere of an almost fine-dining establishment. I had the spicy tuna canapés, fried rice with ham and veggies, and cinnamon doughnuts with cane sugar and dalgona. I had jasmine tea with this and would really recommend this as its refillable, and cuts through the greasiness of the food excellently. The staff also speak English and the menu is in both Korean and English.

Delicious - Edit
Lovely vegan restaurant a short walk from Itaewon station. Ordered the kimchi fried dumplings, mapo tofu over rice, and a hoegarden beer.
Read moreI loved everything about this meal - the dumplings had the perfect amount of spice, were nice and crunchy, and the provided soy sauce just amplified their flavour ten times.
The mapo tofu was sooooooo good. It has that perfect Szechuan pepper mouth numbingness you want from the meal.
Front of house staff all spoke good English.
Pros: All vegan menu , Delicious and spicy

Really good vegan Korean food - Edit
I love this place as it has really good Korean veganised dishes that taste delicious. The only thing is that it is a bit more expensive if you go for dishes that have alt meat in them, which I guess is because it is very expensive still but nonetheless it's a bit pricier..

Very tasty, very fast and nice location - Edit
Loved the place!🥰
Read moreThe location ist beautiful and just 5min away from Itaewon station. The stuff was friendly and helpful.
The Menu is (in my opinion) the perfect size — not too many dishes and still enough interesting ones to choose from.
After we ordered the food came REALLY fast. Like 5min after we ordered.
The jjajangmyeon were delicious bur a rather small size.
The mandu were also very good aswell.
The stir fried meat with sweet and sour sauce was a surprise. Firstly because it looked different from what I expected (I don’t even know what I expected 😂). Secondly because it came without rice. This was just something I automatically expected especially because of the rather high price (21.000₩). And thirdly. Because it was SO GOOD!! Woah! I loved everything about it!😍
One thing we noticed but actually really liked was that the food was not hot. It was warm and the perfect temperature to start eating right away.
For dessert we had the Cinnamon Donut and this was also AMAZING! Not too sweet, not too cinnamonish, not too much. A warm crunchy and soft bun with this amazing kinda salty sugar on top — delicious!😍
I’ll definitely go back and try the other dishes!😊
Pros: Delicious , Really fast and friendly staff, Nice location
Cons: The „meat“ dishes are pricey and without rice

Nice place!! - Edit
So excited I finally made it here. Just needed a light snack as I was out riding bikes and didn’t want to be too full, so I tried a few apps and both were so good! Can’t wait to go back for a bigger meal.
Read moreUpdate! Made it back for dinner. Everything tasted good but nothing I ordered was what I thought it was! Still a nice place.

My favorite place to eat in Seoul. - Edit
I went there five times in a row just to try everything on the menu and I must say the menu was very consistent in quality and did not disappoint. My favorite dishes were the Sichuan noodles, the dumplings, and the eggplant dish.

Very good! - Edit
Loved the food in this restaurant. They have a lot of dishes with ‘alt meat’ which are a bit more expensive. We had some meals without that which were really great and affordable. I had the fried rice with beans and we had some dumplings and a very nice tofu salad (definitely try it!) on the side.

this place is literally so so so delicious. we ordered a bunch of stuff and all of them were absolutely amazing! our favorites probably have to be the black bean veef noodles (jajamyeon), stir asparagus lettuce & veggies, and stir fried meat with sweet and sour sauce (tangsuyuk). definitely worth giving this place a try!!

Excellent vegan Korean food - Edit
We (my omni and I) came here for a meal. I have a nut allergy and asked the staff who said they don’t have nuts in the kitchen.
Read moreWe had a side dish which I believed was described as asparagus and lettuce - I don’t know if something was lost in translation or what but it wasn’t “lettuce” as I was expecting. However this dish was AMAZING and not spicy at all (which was a win for me).
We also ordered mapo tofu and mushroom soup ramen. Both of these were so tasty but very spicy. Watch out for the dried chillies in the tofu dish.
Overall, my omni partner said it was the best meal we’d had all trip, and I certainly felt like I’d had authentic
Korean food.
Definitely recommend!
Pros: Fully vegan menu, Nut free kitchen

Good. But alot of MSG - Edit
Nice setting, food presentation, and taste. My non vegan friends would love it. Portions seem a little small. We ordered a main dish, two personal dish, and a small side for two people and finished all of it without feeling too full. We also ordered 짬뽕 and mandu but didnt take pic. My nonvegan friend loved miso jjajangmyun. Its cold noodle btw.
Read moreI went back to try more dishes and today i tasted alot of MSG and food was salty. I had to take one star away. I dont liKe MSG
