Cute and delicious

Great location near Jongmyo and Changdeokgung. Gave me a chance to try some Korean food without eating meat. I had the Korean fried “chicken.” While I wouldn’t say the texture was anything like fried chicken, the flavor was great.

Pros: Great location, Cute , Tasty

Affordable and friendly!

Friendly owner and all vegan! In a pretty little traditional house too. I got the bibimbap and a sweet pumpkin drink. Both were great and the vegan egg was scary realistic

Massive portion size 8/10

We ordered too much had to have it packed up 🤣🤣.

Nice interior helpful staff good toilet, plenty of options.

The Kimchi quesadilla was everything I dreamed of best item, not often are you able to get good melted vegan cheese in Korea or even Seoul, sweet and sour dish is nice but a lot too handle.

The sweet and sour tofu dish needed some like steamed plain rice with it because it was just slightly overpowering, mushrooms were delicious inside it though.

Cozy Comfy Place

I was in a rush so had a Kimchi Quesadilla, aww, 🥰 it was delicious! Would return to try more on their menu. Also this place is tiny so seats filled up quickly at biz hrs, do go early though. I felt I was walking into 15 century Korean villa of some sort, love the docor!

Love this place

I really really liked this place, I wish I stayed nearer or stayed for longer to come back.

The restaurant is a very cute hanok, kinda small, with a few tables on the right and another section with two more tables on the left (great for some privacy) and both look out at a small inner patio.
You order via electronic panel, put the table number in, select your dishes and pay there.

Food was delivered quickly, and it was really good. The portions are pretty big, and the plates themselves are big as well, be aware if you are at a small table.
The tteokbokki comes with vegan fish cakes, fried veggies and dumpling. Vegan fried chicken was very good and crispy, probably my favorite dish of the ones we tried, and tuna fried rice was good, I ordered it mainly because I was curious about the vegan egg.

Good food, cute ambiance, nice staff, totally recommend!

Took my non-vegan friends who all loved it.

Pros: Food Quality, Good Price, Friendly Staff

Cons: None

Great restaurant in a great location.

Super easy to get to if you are visiting the Changgyeonggung Palace or Bukchon Hanok Village. The food is fantastic. We tried the tteokbokki, spicy buckwheat noodles, and the kimchi quesadillas. The servings were huge and the food was flavourful. The venue is very cute and the menu has a lovely introductory page about veganism and the importance of being vegan.
One of my favourite places I’ve eaten in South Korea!

The rice cake dumpling soup is heartwarming on a cold day

I visited a few times and had the bibinbap, rice cake soup, and mandu. Whilst the bibinbap wasn't necessarily the best I've had in Seoul, it was still good, and the rice cake was definitely up my alley. Overall, it was a nice place to eat with reliably good food. Well priced, too.

Pros: Rice dumpling soup, Bibinbap, Mandu

Nice and cosy vegan with option without onion/garlic

Certain dishes can be customised without onion and garlic.

Tried the avocado rice roll and rice cake soup. Is really good 👍

Also the homemade pumpkin drink is a must try too!

Nice and cosy eating place.

Easy walk from Insadong shopping area or Anguk station exit 4 or Jongno Sam (3) ga exit 5.

Pros: Certain Dishes can prepare without onion/garlic, Nice and tasty food , Easy walk from 2 stations.

Amazing

Another excellent meal in Seoul! Tried the Korean fried chicken, tteokboki, fried dumplings and bibimbap. They were all delicious. The bibimbap has a vegan friend egg… I don’t know what it is made of but it was a great addition! Egg is the one thing that usually feels missing in vegan bibimbap. The proprietor is so kind and friendly. Small restaurant and it gets busy, come early or make a reservation. We ate here twice we liked it so much!

Tasty Korean dishes

We came here 3 times in a week it was that good. The bulgogi was excellent. The team are very friendly and it's easy to order on the screens. Great prices too.

My only downside was the soy chicken. The batter was fresh and fluffy but it needed seasoning in my opinion

Great! Interesting vegan egg

I had the bibimbap and fried chiken, so yummy! I just wasn’t a fan of the soup that came with it.

Favorite restaurant in Seoul

Vegan Insa is to die for. This was the very first meal I had when I landed in Seoul during my one-week trip and even though I did try a lot of places this will always be my #1. I regret not going back for more!

Cute location & yummy food

I have not had authentic Korean food, so I was very happy to find an all vegan place that offers some of the classics. I had the Tteokbokki and Bibimbap - both very tasty. Just a note, that the Tteokbokki was fairly spicy😄The sweet pumpkin Sikhye drink was not quite my taste, but was glad I tried it!

Adorable place with Korean food

This place is so cute, I absolutely love the calm and relaxing atmosphere and the decor!
I got the vegan tteokbokki, the portion was very big and also came with some vegan dumplings and fish cakes.
You order and pay through a tablet which is very convenient if you don't speak Korean.
Staff is very kind and prices are super reasonable. My food arrived very fast too. Wholeheartedly recommend!

Pros: Big portions, Nice interior, Ordering and payment through a tablet

Great korean food

Many options to choose from, not the cheapest option but still a great choice, very big portions which you can share and absolutely delicious vegan chicken. The friend dumplings were delicious too. The man running the place is incredibly kind too, highly recommend!
