True comfort food - Edit
I visited the place when they were close and I was so glad that I decided to come back, it was really worth it! They have mostly savoury items that pretend to be healthy but does not lack flavour at all. I had a wrap loaded with veggies and protein (see photo) and it was one of the best breakfast that I had during my visit to the city! Plus, the cafe is really nice decorted (a bit Forrest Gump themed) and it is fun to stay inside.

Eggless sandwich with strawberry jam it seems…was delicious!!. - Edit
Worth the bus over here. Easy busy ride from Seoul station.
Read moreEggless sandwich has strawberry jam in which actually works well. Think chilli chocolate or salty/sweet popcorn or pretzels.
Cute cafe.

Seems like vegan restaurant but you have to pay extra for oat milk? So sad. They offer great tasty Eggless egg sandwich.

Average sandwiches & bowls - Edit
We tried the eggless egg sandwich, the tofu Bahn mi sandwich, the han bowl, and 2 cookies: matcha and chocolate chip cookies.
Read moreThe .bahn mi was average, the Alles egg sandwich was probably the best thing they’ll still want anything to rave about, the bowl was below average, and the chocolate chip cookie was awful, we have never had a cookie that dry in my entire life, we tried to break it in half and it just turned to dust. 
I get so disappointed when I read wonderful reviews about a place and then have over three dishes that are awful. (I host a podcast that speaks with vegan chefs and restaurant owners all over the world and it’s important to me that average food not be called amazing because there is truly incredible vegan food in every city in the world and they shouldn’t be ruined by reviews of average food being called amazing.)
The prices are not justified, at $11 USA dollars per sandwich that is ridiculous unless it is huge and absolutely one of the best sandwiches in Seoul.
The indoor decor is clean and cool.
The staff is very kind and speaks amazing English.

The Eggless ”Eggwrap” - Edit
The Eggless ”Egg” wrap was amazing!! The ”egg” tastes soo good and it’s perfectly combined with some ”chicken”, tomat and red cabbage. The bowls and other stuff also seems good but the ”egg” is hard to get anywhere else in Seoul. Recommend!

Excellent eggless egg sandwich - Edit
Came here twice because the food was so good! The eggless egg sandwich was amazing - the combination of tofu "egg salad" and strawberry jam sounds like it shouldn't work, but it really does!

Great Wrap, okayish bowl - Edit
I really enjoyed the wrap, the bowl tasted kinda weird in my opinion. Staff was very friendly plus fully vegan restaurants in Seoul are not that common so it's a nice option

Fresh food and super tasty! - Edit
I haven’t been to the restaurant but I got the VCLT wrap, orange juice and blueberry banana smoothie delivered. I’m so happy they have the option for no ice for their drinks and they don’t lessen the quantity. Best fresh OJ with pulp😍 the wrap and smoothie were delicious as well! Really generous portions. Can’t wait to try the other items!

Cute place - Edit
The place is really cute, the food is kinda fusion.
Read moreI liked my dish but one of the flavour was off for me, like when a sauce past expiration.
The cookie was great, I had one to take away and it was still super fresh next day.

Healthy nourishing food - Edit
By Tofu has been on my bucket list since 2023 and this September I could finally go! Long awaited but worth it. I ordered the sunrise bowl, which felt quite healthy and with fresh veggies and quinoa. I didn't realise that the base was a salad, so everything was rather cold. But the tofu was warm and very flavourful. Overall, a balanced, filling meal that probably quite good for me body too? 8.5 / 10 ⭐️
Read moreWish I had gotten one of the muffins, they looked so good and were sold out quickly.
Updated from previous review on 2025-11-27
Pros: light, healthy meals, lots of options (bowls, sandwiches, smoothies,...), friendly staff, all vegan
Cons: would have preferred a warm base rather than salad

ByTofu – Worth the Visit! - Edit
Had an amazing meal at ByTofu in Seoul! The egg tofu salad sandwich was so good — it even had strawberry jam in it, which surprisingly went really well with the other flavors. The tofu banh mi was also delicious, full of flavor and perfectly balanced. We finished with the bread pudding banana foster, and it was the perfect sweet ending — rich, comforting, and so tasty.
Read moreThis place is definitely worth the visit, and I’d happily go back!
Pros: Variety , Efficient service

Yummy egg-less sandwich - Edit
They were open from the morning, which was convenient as we were looking for brunch options before our day trip.
Read moreThe egg-less sandwich was nice!
When we came, the smell of freshly baked cookies filled the store so we did takeaway!
The hill is indeed steep but it was ok with the bus.

Could improve - Edit
I was hoping my tofu bowl would be more cooked, as everything is pretty much uncooked or undercooked, the only thing was well prepared was baked seasoned tofu. My broccoli honestly was 99% raw, then corn kernels and quinoa are barely edible enough to enjoy it. Then there is a bottom layer of kale, not fresh, old and chewy. I had all the tofu, but did not enjoy the rest of the ingredients in my tofu bowl unfortunately. Corn & quinoa undercooked could cause indigestion. My honest experience.

Best eggless sandwich - Edit
I’ve visited Seoul twice since 2023 and ByTOFU is a standout vegan restaurant. Their eggless sandwich is perfection!!!!!! I highly recommend you make the visit. As others recommended, it’s best to take the bus up the windy narrow uphill.

There are many good vegan restaurants in Seoul, but by tofu is my favourite one. The outdoor seating area is very cosy, and the staff is very nice. Every meal and drink I tried was just perfect. A great location after a hike on the nearby namsan.
