17 Best Vegan Restaurants in Seoul (after 7 trips to Korea)

Seoul has now become one of my favorite cities for vegan food.

Korean Vegan Restaurants in Seoul

The Korean vegan restaurants in Seoul are so delicious and serve veganized Korean dishes you won’t find elsewhere.

📍Osegye Hyang (Insadong) ⭐️

Vegan Tofu soup, sides, Korean BBQ ssambap at Osegye Hyang, one of the best vegan restaurants in Seoul

Osegye Hyang is one of my favorite vegan restaurants in Seoul. It’s usually the first restaurant I go to when I land in Seoul (closed on Thursdays).

Osegye Hyang is located inside the popular Insadong Shopping Street. If entering the Ssamzigil Mall, it’s in an alleyway on the left when walking in.

They serve traditional Korean vegan food and have a large menu that you order on a screen at your table.

Vegan BBQ Ssambap - Osegye Hyang Korean Vegan Food Seoul South Korea: A traditional Korean meal featuring a variety of vegan dishes served in small bowls on a glass table. The main plate includes vegan BBQ, coated in a spicy sauce and garnished with sesame seeds, accompanied by purple rice and a side of vegetable dumplings. Surrounding these are an assortment of banchan (side dishes), including kimchi, sautéed vegetables, and fresh lettuce leaves with ssamjang (a Korean dipping sauce) for wrapping the BBQ. The meal is colorful and balanced, offering a traditional Korean dining experience with a vegan twist.

My favorites dishes: tofu jjigae stew, fried kimchi mandu dumplings, sweet and spicy chick’n, and ssambap lettuce wraps, or on the menu: spicy soy meat with vegetables (not spicy at all).

Most dishes are around $10 USD and come with lots of side dishes.

📍Maru Kimbap (Insadong)

Vegan Odeng fish cake, tteokbokki, and gimbap from Maru in Seoul

If you’re craving traditional Korean street food, visit Maru. Maru is another vegan restaurant in Insadong Shopping Street.

It does have limited seating so expect to wait during busy hours.

Prices range from $3-10 USD. They serve veganized dishes like odeng (fish rice cakes), kimbap rolls, and tteokbokki.

Their ramen here is also really nicely seasoned. Dip the kimbap in the tteokbokki sauce for a great combo.

📍Vegan Kitchen (Myeongdong)

Front of Vegan Kitchen Restaurant in Myeongdong. Green building

Vegan Kitchen is a new vegan restaurant, and I believe the only vegan restaurant in Myeongdong.

It’s just a few minutes walk from the Myeongdong subway station and Myeongdong Night Market.

A close-up view of a vegan ssambap BBQ meal at Vegan Kitchen restaurant in Myeongdong, Seoul. The table is set with a red pot of spicy mock meat, a bowl of brown rice, side dishes like kimchi and seaweed, a metal cup, a red bowl, and a bottle of traditional Korean drink 'Makgeolli' in the background.

Prices are affordable and you even get served by a robot after ordering on a menu kiosk on the table.

I got the bulgogi plate with rice that came with small sides for $7.50 USD. It was so flavorful!

I came back in other Seoul trips and had the vegan ssambap/BBQ as well as the tteokguk soup. Both were solid, but I do prefer the tteokguk at Vegan Insa.

📍Plantude inside COEX Mall

Plantude COEX Vegan Tteokbokki - Seoul South Korea: A beautifully presented bowl of vegan tteokbokki, a popular Korean dish made from rice cakes, served in a creamy, plant-based sauce. The dish is garnished with a variety of toppings, including sautéed mushrooms, crispy fried onions, chopped green onions, and edible flowers, adding a colorful and artistic touch to the meal. The tteokbokki is served in a decorative blue and white patterned bowl, enhancing its visual appeal. This modern and elegant take on a traditional dish reflects the innovative vegan offerings at Plantude COEX in Seoul.

Plantude has two locations: #1: level B1 inside the COEX Mall (the same mall with the famous Starfield library) and #2: I’Park Mall in Yongsan.

They serve healthy but filling vegan Korean-Western fusion cuisine. The average price is around $11 USD per dish.

Their Korean dishes include bimimbap, bulgogi rice bowl, and tofu stew, or tofu jjigae.

I got the white truffle tteokbokki. The location can be a bit hard to find at COEX. It’s on B1 floor next to Godiva.

I also went to the one in Yongsan (7th floor inside I’Park Mall) and got the fried mushroom and tofu dish. I’ve gone to get this again, it was so good.

📍ALT.a (Itaewon) ⭐️

Jajangmyeon noodles in a black bean saice, dumplings and cinnamon donut bun from Alt.A Vegan Restaurant in Seoul

ALT.a is a Korean-Chinese vegan restaurant in Itaewon, serving stir-fry vegetable and vegan meat dishes.

The first time I went I got the Jajangmyeon, or noodles in a black bean sauce, as well dumplings and their dessert option, cinnamon donut bun with palm sugar. Honestly, these were just okay!

Alt.A Korean-Chinese spread featuring jjamppong, jjajangmyeon, and golden fried dumplings. The centerpiece is crispy tangsuyuk-style mushrooms dressed with scallions and chili.

I went again with a friend and got the vegan jjampong (listed as “spicy soup with mushroom” on the menu) and it was SO GOOD.

It wasn’t super spicy and it had a slight smokey-charred taste too. I even went a few days later to get it again. It’s now one of my favorite dishes in Seoul.

The fried mushrooms were also tasty with a nice sauce.

📍Vegan Insa ⭐️

Tteokguk Soup and Vegan Chicken - Insa Vegan Restaurant in Insadong Seoul South Korea: A traditional Korean meal featuring a bowl of tteokguk, a clear soup with soft, chewy rice cakes (tteok) and garnished with seaweed, vegetables, and sesame seeds. The soup is served in a stainless steel bowl, alongside a plate of spicy vegan chicken, garnished with sesame seeds and served with a small side of pickles and fresh microgreens. A small dish of kimchi accompanies the meal, adding a classic Korean touch. The presentation is clean and inviting, with the dishes arranged on a wooden table, offering a hearty and satisfying dining experience.

Vegan Insa is a newer restaurant located in the Ikseondong Hanok Village, which is a 10-minute walk from Insadong Shopping Street.

The restaurant is in a beautiful traditional hanok-style home with outdoor seating. You order from a kiosk.

Menu - Vegan Insa Restaurant in Insadong Seoul South Korea: A portion of a menu from Insa Vegan Restaurant in Insadong, Seoul, showcasing a variety of traditional Korean dishes with a vegan twist. The menu features colorful images of dishes such as Bibimbap, Tteokbokki, California Roll with Fried Food, Rice Cake Dumpling Soup, and Kimchi Quesadilla, among others. Each dish is accompanied by a brief description in English and the price in Korean won. The layout is clean and inviting, with a mix of traditional and contemporary dishes that highlight the diverse offerings of the restaurant.

I had a big bowl of tteokguk soup with rice cakes and mandu dumplings, along with a plate of seasoned vegan chicken.

This combo was so filling and good! I came back again to try their vegan tuna and egg fried rice plus tteokguk again a few more times.

The image features a plate of kimchi tuna fried rice garnished with chopped green onions and sesame seeds, alongside a crispy sheet of seaweed and a side of steamed tofu, served at Insa Vegan Restaurant in Insadong, Seoul, Korea. The dish is complemented by pickled vegetables, a lotus root side, and a tall glass of refreshing juice, creating a vibrant and balanced vegan meal. The setting exudes a cozy, rustic charm with a wooden table and simple tableware.

📍Loving Hut Cafe

A vegan Korean meal featuring a steaming ttukbaegi (hot stone pot) of soy meat and vegetable soup with sliced green onions on top. The meal includes side dishes of kimchi, pickled vegetables, rice, and a plate of kimchi mandu (dumplings) with shredded cabbage drizzled with ketchup.

There are two Loving Hut locations in Seoul, one in Gangnam and a newer (though farther) in Seongbuk.

Prices are very affordable and huge. I got the soy meat ttukbbaegi soup (9,000 won or $6 USD) and kimchi mandu. They also have some western dishes.

It’s quite a bit of walk from the nearest train station, so bus is best to get here.

📍Hangwachae Buffet

A vegan buffet plate with assorted vegetables, sautéed greens, and seasoned roots on a white dish, accompanied by multigrain rice, a small bowl of soup, and a cup of tea. The meal is set on a checkered tablecloth with additional side dishes in green and beige bowls.

Hangwachae is an all-vegan buffet in Insadong that serves Buddhist Korean temple food.

Cost is 15,000 won ($10.40 USD). There’s plenty of seating. They use fresh and seasonal vegetables.

There is minimal salt used, but you do get a side of seaweed gim to eat with the dishes.

BONUS:📍Aha! Korean Street Food

A vegan corn dog topped with ketchup and mustard on a wooden stick, next to a bowl of tteokbokki (spicy Korean rice cakes) covered in red sauce. The food is served on a shiny metallic countertop with plastic wrap lining the tteokbokki bowl.

A small vegan street food stall with a bright green "100% Vegan" sign above the counter. Inside the stall, there are food menus, condiments, water bottles, and cooking equipment. The wall has various food options listed, including ramen, dumplings, and corn dogs, priced at 6,000 Korean Won. The stall is compact, brightly lit, and clean.

Aha! is a street food vendor located in Myeongdong.

It’s not all vegan, but they have a separate vegan menu along with vegan tteokbokki.

The food is just okay, but a good spot if you want the street food experience.

*As of June 2025, they no longer have the vegan corndog option.

BONUS:📍Cow Beer+

Vegan Rose Tteokbokki with fried mushroom on the side - Cow Beer+ in Seoul

Cow Beer+ is not a vegan restaurant, but a popular spot for vegans and vegetarians because of their special vegan menu.

Cow Beer+ is a tteokbokki restaurant and is located right next to Ewha Womans University.

I’ve gone twice and here’s what I got: vegan Rose tteokbokki ($13.70 USD) – it was filling and creamy. The portions are meant for 2-3 people.

The second time I decided to try a bunch of their sides on the menu. Each one was SO TASTY:

A basket of crispy fried oyster mushrooms, garnished with herbs and served on a piece of parchment paper. The golden-brown mushrooms are lightly battered, showcasing a crunchy exterior.

Fried king oyster mushrooms ($1 USD for 4)
Fried sweet pumpkin (less than $1 USD for 4), and
Gimbap mayo riceballs ($4.30 USD); you mix everything with a glove they give you and roll them into balls. 10/10

BONUS:📍Hwanggeum Kongbat

Korean meal with bubbling soondubu jjigae, multigrain rice, and assorted banchan. A platter of pan-fried tofu sits beside bean sprouts, kimchi, and sauce.

Hwanggeum Kongbat is a Michelin-star restaurant known for their high-quality tofu.

There’s a few vegan options like their tofu jjigae (spicy tofu stew) and pan-fried tofu.

The jjigae was simple but perfectly seasoned, and even the plain fried tofu was amazing.

Make sure to say you’re vegan so they only give you the vegan banchan (i.e. the kimchi isn’t vegan).

It’s not an upscale restaurant, but it is pricier than your average restaurant.

Here are other Korean vegan restaurants in Seoul that I haven’t tried yet:

I’ve gone a good number of times and the Tofu Caesar Wrap is one of my favorite items.

Chunky tofu Caesar wrap packed with greens, croutons, and creamy dressing. Rippled potato chips fill the rest of the plate.

I always go here when I crave western food once in a while. Most dishes are around $11 USD.

They also have a great section of vegan desserts like tiramisu, cookies, and cakes. The portions are very filling.

The dish is accompanied by a side of mixed green salad, adding a fresh contrast to the warm, savory sandwich. In the background, a glass of a light beverage and a small cookie on a plate are visible, creating a balanced and inviting meal presentation in a cozy café setting.

If you’re visiting Lotte World or Seokchon Lake, visit Rooted Seoul, a vegan fusion cafe run by a really kind owner and chef.

I believe it’s the only vegan restaurant in this area too.

I got the grilled cheese ($8.60 USD), rosemary lemonade ($3.50 USD), and the walnut chocolate chip cookie, which might have been one of the best cookies I’ve eaten.

📍byTOFU (Yongsan)

A refreshing beverage is partially visible in the background, enhancing the wholesome and balanced appeal of the meal. The presentation is simple yet appealing, showcasing the healthy and flavorful options available at ByTOFU in Seoul.

byTOFU is located south-west of Namsan Park, so this vegan restaurant is perfect after a walk or hike at Namsan.

Make sure to check their opening hours.

They serve sandwiches, bowls, and wraps primarily centered around tofu. They also practice sustainable dining.

The first time I got the Sunrise Tofu bowl ($9 USD) with baked tofu, kamut grain, and broccoli, with a vegan mayo topping and lime dressing. It was so fresh but filling.

I could eat this everyday if I could!

Thick eggless “egg” sandwich stacked with tofu salad, cucumbers, tomatoes, and lettuce on soft wheat bread. A tiny flag topper sits above the generous filling.

The 2nd time I got the eggless sandwich. They add strawberry jam to the sandwich which I wasn’t used to.

You can also opt out of it or get the eggless wrap which doesn’t have it. Their vanilla latte is also one of the best I’ve had.

📍Vegetus ⭐️

A vegan burger loaded with toppings, including crispy onion bits and creamy sauce, served on a toasted bun with leafy greens. The plate also includes golden, crispy potato wedges with a side of ketchup and a glass mug of hot chocolate on a rustic wooden table.

Vegetus is located near Itaewon and Namsan Park and serves western food.

I got the jalapeño burger with a house-made lentil patty (10,000 won or $10.40 USD) and hot cocoa.

The food was really flavorful with quality ingredients. Would go again to try more items.

📍Breaghetti (UPDATE: permanently closed, stayed tuned for new location)

A plate of Korean fried chicken with fries, topped with spicy glaze and sesame seeds, accompanied by a glass of iced strawberry milk. The plate rests on a tray, with a nighttime street view visible through the window in the background.

Breaghetti in Itaewon serves mostly western food like burgers, pasta and pizza, but they had so-so reviews, so I went for their vegan Korean chicken and fries set plus strawberry latte and I really enjoyed it!

The vegan chicken was really realistic and well-seasoned.

There’s plenty of seating and is located on the 2nd floor that overlooks a busy restaurant street in Itaewon.

📍Camouflage (Itaewon)

A plate of crispy vegan orange chicken garnished with dried orange slices, served with a bowl of colorful fried rice topped with green onions and sliced peppers. The dishes are set on a placemat with sunlight casting soft shadows across the table.

Camouflage in Itaewon serves all-vegan Chinese food.

I chose from the set menu and got the fried rice and orange chicken, and upgraded it to extra crispy (total 21,500 won or $15 USD).

The chick’n was so flavorful and crispy and was a big portion. The fried rice was just alright!

📍Salon de Vegan ⭐️

Page: www.instagram.com/salon_de_vegan

Salon de Vegan is more of a cafe, but has lunch items like hot dogs and wraps as well as sweets and baked goods.

100% of its profits go to Care Korea, an animal-welfare organization.

A close-up of a meal from a vegan restaurant, showing two small Vietnamese banh mi sandwiches filled with shredded carrots, fresh cilantro, and other greens in soft, crusty bread. Next to the sandwiches is a cup of latte art coffee in a dark grey cup, featuring a delicate heart design in the foam.

I got the banh mi (9,600 won or $6.70 USD) as well as a latte. The banh mi was flavorful and they use really good and realistic vegan meat.

I’ve gotten their items like their salt bread and tofu wrap for takeaway too. Would go again!
