Bit pricey but worth it! - Edit
For Korean standards its a bit pricey, but western food usually is and its Itaewon so its a bit more expensive than other areas. That being said, the food was delicious; so many flavours and many different options. will certainly go back
Read morePros: So many flavours, A lot of choice, Friendly staff

Slightly overrated - Edit
Probably the most famous vegan restaurant in the country.
Read moreThey serve international cuisine, so don’t expect any authentic Korean food.
The thai curry was okay, but compared to smaller restaurants, the prices were higher and the staff wasn’t that friendly.

Loved the bananasplit milkshake - Edit
We had some burgers with fries, which were nice! The patty did however fall apart completely when you ate it. In addition I had the Bananasplit milkshake, which was super. The place is nicely decorated and the staff is friendly.
Read morePros: Nice interior, Different sorts of dishes, You gotta try the bananasplit milkshake
Cons: It’s not the cheapest restaurant out there

Great Burgers and Wraps and very tasty drinks - Edit
Loved the ambiance of the restaurant, it felt very cozy. The staff speaks english and the food is soo tasty! We had the avocado burger and ceasar wrap, a coconut mango smoothie and the passion fruit kombucha drink. Everything was excellent! And the other plates they brought out looked very nice too. Unfortunately we discovered this gem on our last night in seoul, otherwise we would have come back to taste more options of the menu.

Plant never disappoints - Edit
Last time I visited was 5 years ago and I am glad my favorite bowl was still on the menu!
Read moreI love that now their cakes are not as sweet as it use to be. The lemon cake tho can have more layers and more lemon kick. But VERY happy with their menu!

A Seoul Classic - Edit
Plant is the first vegan restaurant I visited when I arrived in Seoul, and it has never disappointed me ever since. I've tried almost everything on the menu and a variety of cakes - everything they offer is very tasty with a good combination of flavors. It's also a good place to bring non-vegan friends.

Mediocre and heavy - Edit
I was a long term customer of PLANT (5 ) years so I wish I could still say I love and support them but the restaurant is not what it used to be.
Read moreEverything here feels really heavy, salty, and greasy. In the past the flavors and ingredients were balanced. The staff was much more warm and inviting. These days it feels like a completely different restaurant. Some staff members were really unfriendly.
I think its probably a great place to bring non-vegans. I feel like the menu really caters to them rather than vegans.
In the past I often ordered the Caesars salad, but its not longer available. Now it can only be ordered as a wrap filled with onion rings. Im not someone who only eats healthy and clean food, but it feels like theres not a single healthy and clean dish I can get here anymore. Loads of mayo aioli sauce, fried ingredients, huge bread rolls instead of multigrain slices. Even the coffee has declined in taste.
Also, the current chef seems breeds cats and was advertising that on Instagram as a sponsored ad.

Scrumptious Oasis - Edit
I guess I must have been to Plant Itaewon 30 times by now, and it is the reliable choice for vegan soul food. The cakes are out of this world, and I celebrated my last bday with a full plant cake and a quadrant of friends. My fave entrees are the lentil bowl, and hummus salad, but on occasion enjoy the plant cheeseburger, cream pasta, oh and let's not forget the tofu caesar wrap. The atmosphere, the smoothies! Every meal has been super satisfying and everyone I brought here enjoyed.
Read morePros: Vegan soul food, Variety, Reliably scrumptious
Cons: Not cheap, Sometimes there is a line-up

Lovely cafe with good food - Edit
We tried their Cheeseburger, a sandwich and three different cakes and we loved everything! I highly recommend this place if your tastebuds are yearning for something Western.

Worth to visit!! - Edit
First of all, it’s pet friendly , so we were happy to be with our mini poodle :).
Read moreThis place has many options, and generous portions, so we surprised. So comparing to portions, it’s reasonable.
And I’d like to say better to go for “the best👍” menus. We had mushroom burger and soba noodle bowl with extras, and added hummus. Burger and hummus are good, and extras Tempeh was soso good!! but the soba noodle with peanut sauce was quiet sweet and the noodle was over cooked😞. So we barely had 1/3 portion.
Staffs and ppl were kind😄worth to visit

Pros: Lots of menus, Plant milk with coffee, Huge portions (reasonable price)

the quintessential vegan restaurant in seoul - Edit
whether it’s a good thing or not, vegans and non vegans alike know this restaurant. i always say it’a hit or miss when you go there, and the portions are a bit small for the price in my opinion. but, they do have some tasty offerings. my go to is the soba bowl.
Read morethey have lots of different things on the menu and some of the best things i’ve had from there have been specials. the milkshake is the best i’ve ever had (and i don’t like milkshakes!) they do some seasonal or holiday things as well, like a thanksgiving plate or christmas cookies.
probably worth it to go at least once if you are in korea for a while.

Tasty, Easy, Vegan - Edit
One of two branches of Plant in Seoul, I’ve visited both and prefer the vibes of this one but they’re both great!
Read moreHere I had the soba noodle salad, hummus and bread and a vanilla latte. All tasted amazing after struggling to find vegan food in Korean restaurants. Not authentic at all but a nice home comfort.
Be aware they have a break time from 2.30-5ish!

Good - Edit
It was my first time at Plant and with all the good reviews I excepted something sensational, and what I ordered was good (African peanut stew with mango smoothie) but not exceptional. The cafe in itself is really pretty and waiters are nice but I think the food is way overpriced. Given the price, I was waiting for something more (maybe I did not choose the best) but it still tastes really good and love all the vegan options 😊
