The menu seems to have changed since the last visit, but it is advertised as a vegan-friendly establishment with limited options. Despite this, it is still considered better than many places in Korea. Vegan dishes are clearly marked on the menu, including five entrees and a coco pudding dessert. I ordered the risotto and fried veggies (eggplant and mushrooms), hoping the eggplant would be similar to the eggplant parmigiana. However, the fried mushrooms were tasty. Unfortunately, my fried veggies arrived before the risotto, and by the time the risotto finally came, the veggies were cold. After a long wait, the waitress informed us it would be another 17 minutes for the risotto and offered a free drink. While I wish there were more vegan options, considering the restaurant's vegan advertisement, the food was decent overall.

I had the cauliflower steak and my companion had the risotto, both dishes were tasty but the portions were a bit small for sharing. Despite that, I think it's a fantastic spot and I highly recommend it. They offer a variety of dishes and a great wine selection by the glass or bottle, along with a vegan dessert option. It's worth treating yourself to a meal here.

This place has amazing food! If you want to order the vegan coconut pudding, make sure to order it early. The chef needs 15-20 minutes to prepare it and make it beautiful. Order it when you arrive so you don't have to wait too long. The staff speaks English very well and they were also super nice. I will definitely return on my next trip for more high-quality vegan options!
