Dont get the good reviews - Edit
Went there with my sister. i am vegan and have been to several restaurants in Seoul during our one week trip . First time we didnt finish the meal. Spicy crispy chicken was clld and mjxed in a lukewarm sauce , at least it was warmer than the reception we got. Noodles was spaghetti and open toilet door - staring at the toilet as you walk in and it being open while you eat with the scents is not a vibe. We left after trying a few bites as it wasmt worth the calories and walked to vegan insa for a proper lunch which was great.

Pros: Fact that its an all vegan restaurant
Cons: Toilet door open and smells, Unfriendly reception, Food cold and not tasty

Meal was great - Edit
This is a nice floor seating place. Vegan copies of Korean dishes. We are just going into summer so they are already serving summer cold noodle soups. The one we had was excellent.
Read moreNot a fan of the supreme master cult that pushes propaganda as you eat, so usually avoid this place.

Amazing food, big Varaity - Edit
We went as a group of six and ordered Bimbimbap,Fried Chicken, Dumplings, Teokbokki, Soup, and more. Such a big Varaity of food, all vegan and cheap. Everyone ended up paying 25.000₩ (total was 150.000₩).

Traditional Korean Food - Edit
Meatless dishes are soy and pea based. Traditional dishes that maintain the taste and texture of the non vegan dishes. Easy to order via a screen. Nice place. Highly recommended.

Edited from 2022 (weird vibes) - Edit
Edit 2024: In my original review I praised this place a lot, but coming back 2 years later, something feels off.
Read moreFirst of all the quality of the food has declined. It's still pretty good, but it used to be better.
The've gotten rid of the floor tables; now they have regular tables and you order via tablet, which is convinient.
However, the religious and far right messaging shown on the TVs was very uncomfortble at the very least. Back in 2022 there were already some spiritual messaging, not sure exactly what religion they promote, but this time it felt cultish. Also, a lot of pro Trump propaganda. We ate our food quickly and left, because we were so uncomfortable.
I don't think I will come back next time I'm in Seoul.
Original 2022: Amazing traditional korean food, easy to find and quite busy. We tried a few dishes and they were all delicious, very tasty and nice textures.
Maybe a bit more expensive than other places in Seoul, but the portions are very generous, even when ordering for the small portion.
I recommend trying the fried chicken no matter what!
Keep in mind, you need to take your shoes off and you’ll sit on the floor, but it’s comfortable and there’s room to straighten your legs if you want

Really nice food - Edit
Nice restaurant with a great range of options from rice dishes to noodle dishes to soups. We ate the kimchi dumplings, sweet and sour soy meat chicken, and the bulgogi rice. Would recommend all of these. Friendly service as well which is always great!

Really decent tofu stew. - Edit
Warming and hearty stew. I accidentally ordered the option with no garlic, onion, etc, but I suspect the version with these would taste even better.
Read morePros: Tofu stew, Banchan (반찬) (Side dishes)

I'v been here so many times - Edit
.. since 2018 or so, now they dont have sit-on-the-floor tables anymore, more convenient without taking out your shoes.

Lot of options for typical Korean food - Edit
I like this place as they offer so many veganized Korean dishes. I went there 3 times and had jjajangmyeong, fried mandus, tteokbokkis sweet and sour soy protein and the spicy noodle soup. Everything tasted good and the service is fast.
Read moreThey also sell vegan instant ramen and other vegan food.

Disappointing - Edit
The first time we went, they were closed for some reason. When we went back, they were open, but the sign on the door said closed.
Read moreThe sizzling tofu in the little pot was delicious, but the soy chicken was overcooked and had no flavour and some of the side dishes were very odd in flavour and texture.
Service was really rushed, no one said hello and there was an unfriendly atmosphere. I wouldn't rush back, especially when there is so much vegan food in the same area.

Delicious Korean vegan food! - Edit
What a neat place! The food was delicious and I loved the convenience of ordering from a tablet at your table. I loved everything they offered, and the portions were quite generous! The ambiance is ... interesting ... (I'm sure other reviews touch more on that) but everyone was friendly and extremely helpful. Will definitely come back for some delicious vegan Korean food whenever I'm back in Seoul!

Managed to find this place tucked away, not too far from Cheonggyecheon Stream (about 10-15 minute walk). Having been to numerous Loving Huts around the world, I'm kind of used to the content on the TV, however I can appreciate that it's not comfortable viewing for everyone. The issue here is a lack of atmosphere, like eating in a monastery, regardless of how many people are in.
Read moreMost importantly, the food is really good and the service very quick, wheeled out by a quiet lady with a trolley, ordered via tablet, with everything clearly marked in English and Korean.
Would I recommend this place? If you're in the area, absolutely. But, the recommendation comes with a warning that the atmosphere and theme might weird some out.

Used to be my favorite... - Edit
I have no idea what they changed, like 5 years ago i would love going there for the food, ignoring the weird atmosphere. Went again in 2024 and got the Tonkatsu, wasn't good. Once had amazing Tonkatsu at loving hut so I thought maybe I dont like the version from here or they had a bad day (was fried pretty badly). But since I had good memories of the place I went again a few days later and ordered Tofu Stew. It looked as awful as it tasted. Might go down as one of the worst meals ive ever had. The way to get me to convert to their cult would be to tell me that hell is eating that tofu stew every day.

Good food in a weird atmosphere - Edit
The restaurant offers some authentic street food dishes that we were happy to try out. However, as some others already pointed out - the atmosphere is a bit strange because of the cult videos. And there weren't many dishes with a lot of vegetables. But it's the perfect place for carbs and protein (in form of meat replacement). We also tried the fried egg and can recommend it!
Read morePros: Authentic street food, Value for money, Quick service
Cons: Strange vibes, Not many fresh vegetables

Very nice food! - Edit
The restaurant’s information level about closing days was not existent online. The restaurant was closed for Chuseok and one day after. When we finally showed up on a day, where it was open, we got to try some dishes. We ordered at the small tablet at the table. Very nice food. Very glad we came back.
Read morePros: Ordering at tablet, Taste
Cons: Online information is very limited

Delicious food in quiet Insadong alley - Edit
One of the best vegan places I visited in Seoul. Generous portions and delicious food. The staff were friendly too. The interior is a pretty Hanok style construction. It is cool to have this so close to a busy touristy avenue. It feels quiet and isolated. There are a lot of TV screens playing kooky religious content, be warned. I didn't mind this at all but non vegan guests who are not accustomed to eating at religion/cult-affiliated restaurants may find it uncomfortable. The wheat meat (seitan) stew was my favourite dish here.
Read morePros: Delicious Korean food, Traditional Hanok interior, Friendly staff
Cons: Religious/confronting content played on TV screens, Tables a bit low for tall people
