Yangcheon-gu's Mok-dong district is known for its sports facilities and family-focused dining culture. Restaurants here cater to families and local residents with comfort-focused menus — Korean BBQ, jjajangmyeon, and Japanese-style pork cutlets are neighbourhood staples.
This Korean restaurant has options for both meat eaters and vegans, so everyone can find something. Also great for 혼밥 (eating alone) because of the solo diner counter by the window. So far I’ve tried the tofu rice bowl, the burdock rice bowl, and the soft tofu noodle soup. The portions are very generous, especially the noodle soup was huge. The soup does have a bit of spice, so keep that in mind if you’re sensitive. Aprons are available if you ask, which is good for dishes like the noodle soup. When I visited with a non-vegan friend, the owner made sure to tell me which side dishes weren’t vegan. The table menu is entirely in Korean, but if you mention you’re vegan they’ll bring an English vegan menu with photos. The food isn’t perfect, but it’s a rare and valuable option for vegans to have a meal together with non-vegan friends in Seoul, and one I’m happy to support.
I loved the spicy tofu noodles soup. They offer a whole vegan menu!
