Nice food, but overpriced - Edit
The food was good.
Read moreOnly issue was that it was quite overpriced. You have to pay extra for fries with your burger and it cost 8000원 for half a beer. It also didn't say on the menu that the beer was so small for that price or we would never have ordered it

Tasty food - Edit
I tried the moussaka and although it was a creative version of it, it was very tasty. The portion was a little small for the price.

Food is good but some staff aren't very welcoming. - Edit
I visited this branch a few times last year and had a great experience, but unfortunately this year I didn't have such a good time.
Read moreI went to order my food at the counter and when I said which drink I wanted the member of staff repeated it as if I was asking for something that didn't exist, I checked the menu to make sure I was right in what I was asking for and then they found it on the system.
I then ordered a burger but without coleslaw, the staff member seemed to be having trouble with inputting this in their system but I didn't think much of it at the time.
When our food came my burger had what I would describe as coleslaw on it, I mentioned to the staff member that I asked for it without coleslaw and she said it wasn't coleslaw, before I could even reply another member of staff appeared and asked what was the matter and I said I'd asked for no coleslaw and she said it wasn't coleslaw but it was Salad, however the other items which should of been on the burger (I believe it was some sort of pickle and sauce?) were missing.
The food is nice (although I only ended up eating the top half of my burger which wasn't touching the coleslaw as I hate mayo!) and the restaurant itself is lovely, be prepared for a bit of a wait as it can be busy at times!
Cons: Some unfriendly staff

Not as good an the other location - Edit
I got the Mac and cheese at both locations and this one dulls in comparison. The noodles weren’t cooked all the way and the sauce was bit watery.
Read moreAlso, the 3 cauliflower pieces on top were tiny. The pumpkin spice latte was good, though.

Great food - Edit
Really relaxing upstairs restaurant serving modern vegan dishes. Both items were delicious and staff friendly and helpful. Service was quick despite there being a few customers. Would highly recommend if you’re in the area.

Ok burger - Edit
I'm never that impressed with Plant's food. I had the mushroom burger. It was nice but I've had far better burgers in Seoul. Also, the chips were way oversalted and an extra 5000 to add. This is my first time trying the food at the itaewon branch and it was sufficient. I like the restaurant itself though and the staff are friendly enough. Their best meal by far is the pomodoro pasta with soy sausage. I'll stick to that if I go again.

Nothing special - Edit
The food was good but tasted like something I could easily make at home. Expensive compared to other vegan restaurants in Seoul. Service was also a bit rude.

Delicious vegan food! - Edit
I visited here several times in 2019 and it was absolutely amazing. They have great vegan comfort food, dessert, and healthier vegan food as well. The seating is limited.

I want to try everything! - Edit
A vast and tempting menu, it's hard to choose! Western vegan food done well. On my first visit I had the Philly cheese steak which was delicious and seemed good value for money - messy to eat though! On my second visit I had the pasta bowl which was a smaller portion than I expected but was tasty! Beer and cider were good. Then ordered hot buffalo cauliflower wings - my least favourite of the three but still good with a beer.

Great meals, incredible deserts - Edit
Solid menu of vegan main dishes. A broad selection of vegan pies and cakes, which are hard to find in many countries. Nice indoor eating space, comfy. On the second floor a few blocks from the metro station in this active nightlife district

unkind - Edit
we didn't actually eat here. I'm sure the food is good and the staff was so unfriendly and arrogant, that we decided to leave instead of waiting. having a popular or hip restaurant does not justify unkind behavior and lack of humility. i prefer to patronize establishments that care about the customer and who do not act like we're lucky to eat there.

Top notch vegan spot in Seoul. Vegans are spoiled for choices in this area but this is an excellent option for both meals and desserts.

Spoiled for choice - Edit
Incredible food, lots of variety! This is a place where you'll struggle to pick which dish you want to order because everything sounds good. We got the Caesar salad wrap, rigatoni pomodoro, moussaka and cauliflower bites. Everything was tasty, the portion sizes were huge (!!) and the service was fast. I'd recommend the moussaka, it was extremely flavourful!

Cute restaurant with delicious plant-based meals - Edit
We came here on a Wednesday evening and it was busy, but we were still able to easily find a table. The menu looked full of delicious things and we struggled to choose, but we eventually went for the rigatoni and sweet potato chili with rice.
Read moreWhen it arrived, we realised we'd ordered well. The pasta was so good and the crumbled vegetarian sausage in the sauce gave it a nice chewy texture. The chili was equally delicious and a really good portion size, filled with beans, sweet potato, tomatoes and onion. Both dishes were really nicely seasoned and if we went again I think we'd find it hard to order something different.
Pros: Great flavour to both dishes we ordered, Good variety on the menu

Delicious! - Edit
Absolutely loved this place! The food was so good - the chilli cheese fries were out of this world! My partner loved the burger and Philly cheese steak. Quick service and sooo much choice - wish I was here longer to work my way through the menu! Also good for sweet snacks to take away - we took a cookie and lemon cake for later!
