Soooo delicious

We had a bowl and a wrap and both was amazing. We loved everything we had. The prices are fair as the sizes were quite big.

Pros: Delicious food, Fair prices

Insane cakes

We arrived too late (9pm) to order a meal so we just pick 2 pieces of cake to go (snickers and coconut one). Both were sooo good, especially the coconut one. Just think to arrive a bit before 9pm!

Decent bowl, nothing mind-blowing

I’m 99.9% sure the vegan steak in the steak rice bowl is the exact same stuff that Trader Joe’s in the US sells as their vegan beef bulgogi, because the texture and size and taste are all identical. Given that those are the star of the show with some kimchi on plain rice, ultimately the whole bowl is something you could recreate at home quite easily.

Broccoli was unfortunately totally unseasoned and either raw or close to it. It wasn’t a bad meal overall, just kinda meh.

Always a good choice

Whenever I am unsure of where to eat, I won’t get disappointed here!
Chipotle bowl, Caesar wrap, mango smoothie and pistachio cake were delicious!

Yummm

Love this place. I had the meatball bowl and 3 different cakes to share with my friend. Probably the best cake I’ve ever had. It was so yummy. Definitely check this place out 💜

Great food and deserts

We order the teriyaki and Caesar bowls and both were really tasty. We also had a snickers cake slice which was perfect. Would love to come back.

Note that it is called "Plant Yeonnam Branch" on Naver (it took me a while to find it on there).

A cute vegan cafe

A really nice lunch at the Yeonnam branch near Hongdae in Seoul.

We greatly enjoyed the Falafel Bowl and Aloo Gobi Bowl. It was so delicious I almost wanted to order another dish. It was the perfect amount to be full, but not over stuffed. We sat inside, but there is a cute patio to sit outside.

Teriyaki bowl never disappoints me

Their teriyaki bowl is so good. Nothing mind-blowingly special, but it's reliable, filling and tasty. I have ordered take-out and also eaten in and this place never disappoints me. Price is a bit high but it's a full vegan place and the decor and vibe is comfy and "trendy" so it's to be expected.

Nice

Caesar salad and wrap were good! Soy/Oat/Almond milk available for coffees. Expensive enough for a self service place but food was delicious.

Reduced Menu - Still yummy

This was my first visit to this branch. I've been to the other one a few times before over 5 years ago. They got rid of the burgers and basically only have wraps, bowls, and salads. They still have desserts. My wrap was actually quite yummy. I had the caesar wrap, which had a nice dressing with crunchy croutons inside. When I went, half the menu was sold out. You have to order through a machine, but the card part was malfunctioning a bit. Overall still a good restaurant.

Pros: Caesar wrap, desserts, all vegan

Cons: no more burgers, funky self-order machines, so-so desserts

Yum

Came here for the steak wrap, it was good! Most similar to steak vegan product I’ve had. I would return.

Friendly staff and great food!

The food here is amazing! I got the Mac and cheese and it came with these cauliflower bites on top that were really good. Very easy to locate in hongdae. Workers spoke English, so easy to communicate. The matcha latte was good, but could have been mixed a bit better.

New menu is a bit disappointing.

Pros: All vegan

Vegetarian food — but weak produce supply

One struggle about Seoul is that vegetarian restaurants are typically carb heavy, with low produce variety in dishes. That’s how I felt about this place. It’s serviceable, but, if you’re used to vegetarian food in a place with great produce, like Mexico or California, it may taste a little lifeless.

Excellent

I don’t know if the menu changes but it was very good. I tried the tempeh bowl which came at a good temperature (not a cold salad bowl)! It was reach in flavor and affordable 👌
I like the fact they didn’t try to make it too flavorful, it’s well dressed, well cooked and well seasoned. I don’t like it when there’s a mix of different seasonings and this meal was perfect for me. Next time, I might try their falafel bowl or eggplant salad.
This place is good for people who like European food where it’s not too spicy, and kindof homemade meal (but better)😅

Updated from previous review on 2025-03-02

Pros: Affordable , English speaker, Toilets in the restaurant 👌

Menu overhaul is disappointing

I've been coming to plant for many years (long before this branch opened) and am so disappointed with the recent menu changes. The burgers have been slowly disappearing and are now completely gone, as are the pasta dishes. Only salads, wraps and 'rice bowls' are available, which makes it feel little different to any other salad shop. I used to be confident taking non-vegans here for the excellent European/global foods, but I doubt I'll do that now that's it's just salad bowls.

I've also felt the prices have been going wild for a while. The new menu has overall lower prices but is half rice. 7,000 for add-on fries? And the garlic sauce isn't even available.

Website opening hours (in english) are better than maps - great food and fast service in English. Has lunch, cakes, drinks. Get the cauli wings and steak and beans wrap, warning - big serving.

Sumptuous Meals

Love the Thai curry, close to non spicy, slightly on the sweet side. Ratatouille is flavourful. Best Burrito wrap.

Pros: Clean and cosy ambience , Spacious seating area, English speaking staff

Cons: Nil
