Review: Vegenarang Vegan Restaurant in Busan (+ Tips & Menu Prices)

Vegenarang was the first vegan restaurant I went to after arriving in Busan.

Vegenarang had lots of good reviews, so I added it to my list of vegan restaurants in Busan to try.

This post shares my honest review of Vegenarang: what the food was like, how much I paid, and whether I’d go back.

Vegenarang Menu and Prices

The menu includes Buddhist temple-style dishes like grilled vegetable salads, tonkatsu with a bean chick’n cutlet, noodles, and rice avocado rolls.

Some meal sets are only available for 2 or more people (sadly for solo travelers like me!)

I got the plant based chik’n katsu bean cutlet for $8 USD and vegan yogurt parfait for $3 USD.

The katsu was 8/10. It was crispy and meaty, and the dipping sauce that went with it was perfectly savory and sweet.

You also get a small side salad, scoop of rice, and banchan sides of pickled cabbage and kimchi. The ingredients tasted high quality and fresh.

While filling, I did get hungry shortly after, and should have ordered another small dish.

The vegan yogurt parfait was also a solid 8/10.

It was topped with chocolate chips, cacao bits, and a yellow curd. The yogurt was the best kind of sweet and sour, and was nicely thick. I believe this is the only dessert option.

How to Get to Vegenarang

Vegenarang is is located on the 9th floor of a multi-business building. Once you enter the building, take the elevator and press 9.

There is also a sign indicating 9F is Vegenarang, which is the last floor.

They’re open daily from 11:30am to 3pm, then 5pm to 8pm.

Make sure not to visit during their break hours between 3pm to 5pm.

By Taxi

I stayed near Haeundae Beach and chose to take an Uber taxi to the restaurant for 6,600 won, or $5 USD. Uber works in Busan if you don’t have the Kakao Taxi app.

By Train

There are no subway stations really nearby. The closest station is the Dongbaek station, and from there it is a 20-25 minute walk away and you have to cross a bridge.

By Bus

Depending on where you’re coming from, there are plenty of buses that stop near Vegenarang and are just a few minutes walk away.

Nearby Attractions to Vegenarang

Right after Vegenarang, I highly recommend going to the Millak Waterside Park, which is a short walk away for a scenic view of Gwangan Bridge.

And right after, take another short walk to Gwangalli Beach, which has incredible night views as well.
