7/10 - Good food but limited - Edit
It's got some great flavours and is in a decent location, however the menu isn't too exciting.
Read moreHad the pasta dishes and they know how to use garlic and it be good wholesome food at times. The portion sizes kinda small though so felt a bit expensive but good vibes and good staff.

Delicious vegan in Korea - Edit
When you've eaten traditional vegan Korean food for 4 days straight, this is the place to come.
Read moreDelicious food, mushroom salad / gnocchi and cauliflower tasted great and was different to the norm.
Would like the recipe for the southern fried crumble with the cauliflower !
Plum wine and beer was fantastic as well.
Recommended!

Tasty, not too expensive - Edit
They intially told me that they sold out for the day, but then approached me when I was standing outside looking for another restaurant on my phone. Out of concern that I would not find anything suitable for a vegan, they allowed me to order one of the two lunch sets, and they replaced one of the missing ingredients.
Read moreThe food was very tasty, and diverse. Around 6 small portions of Korean pickles and appetizer vegetables, dense mushroom-sprout soup, and a bowl of tofu on top of seasoned rice with fresh leaves (mugwort? I couldn't understand if they ran out of it or just used less).
I was approached while eating to be instructed that I should eat the rice together with the dried seaweed pages. Not the first time that Korean shop owners ask me to mix the rice in, but I appreciate the instruction which may come handy if you're unfamiliar to the style or afraid to look silly. Overall a good dining experience :)
Pros: Mushrooms plate was delicious, Vegan Kimchi
Cons: Male toilets are a climb upstairs, Green leafy vegetable plate not fully chewable

Meh - Edit
Sitio acogedor, personal amable. La comida mejor que la cena. Fui en los dos turnos y en la cena si pides bolas de arroz fritas te ponen el mismo arroz de la comida hecho bolas, ñoquis cuya salsa sabe más dulce que salada y es comida y pasta estilo asiático que pica como el demonio.

Whole-Food Plant-Based Traditional Bapsang Lunch & Fusion Dinner - Edit
Fully vegan eatery with several allium-free options available. They serve traditional Korean bapsang-style cuisine for lunch, and Western-Korean fusion dishes such as pasta for dinner, all of which are whole-food plant-based without processed mock meats or substitutes. They also prioritise using organic, pesticide-free, and domestically-grown ingredients. The items I ordered were all fresh, flavourful, and filling! Staff members were also lovely, giving us hot yuja citron tea on the house when they saw that my companion was cold and tired, and sending me a kind message on social media after I visited. Would highly recommend visiting (but please take note of their selected opening days and hours)! Near Jung-Ang Metro Station, also within walking distance from the 40-Step Culture & Tourism Theme Street, Trick Eye Museum, Busan Tower at Yongdusan Park, etc.

The nicest people - Edit
They weren't open when I came by on a rainy Saturday but they let us in anyway and served the set lunch meal. The meal is a basic Korean lunchbox made vegan and full of pungent, sour, savory, fermented goodness. The mushrooms are a treat.

In love with this food! - Edit
We had dinner at Obuthan. We saw it has a lot of good reviews, but were a bit unsure about the menu as it didn't seem very korean. They use local and seasonal ingredients and all my doubts went away after starting to taste the food. We ordered the korean style pasta with seaweed and the potato gnocchi with spinach sauce. It was delicious!! I couldn't get enough of that spinach sauce.
Read moreThe space is very calm and pleasant and the staff polite and kind.
Give it a try if you can.
Edit: I forgot to mention the fried rice cakes, which we ordered to start the meal. Very tasty! Cooked with salt, pepper, garlic, I believe. Would order again.

Lovely place with kind people - Edit
I had lunch at this restaurant! They are according to people usually super booked, but because I was on my own I could have lunch just fine. The staff treats you very well! The lady even let me try the special herb beforehand, so I could decide which menu to get. The lunch menu was a seasonal menu, so it might change in summer. But I really liked the tofu and side dishes!

Lovely - Edit
Very kind owners, chill atmosphere with nice music and wine. The pasta was delicious, my favourite was the Korean style pasta (garlic yummm). Also the fried vegetables tasted very fresh and nutritious. For me personally it lacked a bit of salt but my boyfriend thought it was perfect the way it was. Bit on the pricey side (16.000 - 18.000 won per dish), but worth it after we saw how much love went into every single meal.

Super delicious - Edit
We had both the fried vegetables and the grilled cauliflower with rice cakes. Especially the cauliflower with the rice cakes was super delicious! It was a bit pricy but I can still highly recommend it.

Nice atmosphere - Edit
The restaurant had a calm vibe that I really appreciated, and the staff was lovely. Differently from the other all vegan places in Busan, it's not associated to the Supreme Master, and it offers alcohol, including craft beers. My favorite was the fried rice cake.
Read moreWe went a second time, but for lunch, and the food was even more impressive, and with a really good price for the quality of the set. Definitely one of the best restaurants in Busan.
