Serves meat, vegan options available. Korean fusion food truck turned brick and mortar. Some dishes come with choice of tofu, and staff can offers suggestions or ask the kitchen to make a dish vegan. Try the caramelized tofu in bibimbap, a vegan version of the Korean fusion burrito or bowl. Relocated from Silver Spring. Open Tue-Wed 11:30am-2:30pm, 5:00pm-8:30pm, Thu-Fri 11:00am-2:30pm, Thu-Sat 5:30pm-8:30pm, Sat 11:30am-2:30pm.

Deeeeelish - Edit
Sad I haven’t been here sooner!! This adorable restaurant is a must go to in Takoma Park. No reservations, but you’re welcome to walkin and you may get lucky. From the small plates to the rice bowls, noodle dishes, to the sandwiches and even Tacos, everything I’ve had thus far is delicious. Vegan items are clearly marked and are the majority of the menu. You can also opt from gluten free on some items. Staff is super friendly.

Seoul Food ROCKS - Edit
This place rocks and is pure joy. The vibe is a mix of wood and green and show posters (Sonic Youth!) Order at the front, and food gets brought out to your table.
Read moreThe menu is incredibly vegan friendly and is clearly marked. Fingers crossed for fully vegan one day. After several visits, my favorites so far are:
* Korean fried "chicken" sandwich - gochujang-glazed tofu, super crispy
* streamed grandma's dumplings (shiitake, tofu, and cabbage)
* kook-mul tteokbokki - the classic Korean street food rice cakes
* scallion pancake - I could eat 10 of these!
* also love anything with japchae (sweet potato noodles)
To complement the foods, the owner and all staff are amazing!

Tons of clearly marked vegan options, all delicious - Edit
A bit pricey, but their Korean-fusion menu is truly inspirational. You really can’t go wrong with whatever you choose.

LOVE SEOUL FOOD - Edit
I can’t overstate how much I love this place! Most of the menu is vegan (and labeled as such), and I’ve never had anything that wasn’t delicious. Everything is so fresh and lovingly prepared. I love the jeju buns and fried tofu chicken rice bowl. Can’t go wrong here!

My favorite restaurant nearby - Edit
We go here at least once a week and I usually get the bibimbap bowl with bulgogi tofu and shitakes but also love their Korean fried "chicken" which is made from tofu and covered in gochugang sauce. This latter is their specialty dish and we've tried it as an app, a sandwich and in a rice bowl with cucumber kimchi and all are fantastic. Have also tried the Nirvana mix tacos, Grandma's dumplings, Cauliflower japchae noodles, and scallion pancakes - everything is good. Their menu has more vegan options than meat so there is plenty to choose from. We've been getting takeout for the last few years but they recently opened their bright and cozy, plant-filled dining room up again.

Best Kimchi! - Edit
Korean and Korean fusion with many vegan options. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly and will help vegans out. Even has vegan cookies/dessert at times. The food is delicious and I especially like their many choices of homemade kimchi, several of which are vegan. For me the rice bowls are the way to go and the choice of toppings is great. You can even get a jar of kimchi to take home!

Good food, but look at the menu online first! - Edit
Good food! Kind of Korean but with American/Tex-Mex influences.
Read moreThe menu board only really has some of their offerings, while others are written on various chalk boards. So I was a little disoriented and wished I had studied the menu a bit more. I was also disoriented because there were only two staff members making, serving and taking orders, so I wasn't sure how to order and had to wait quite awhile to do so. Not sure if my experience was common, they apologized for how busy they were later.
This is kind of in a gas station and signage says you can use the gas station parking. Parking in Wheaton can seem slightly hectic, but something usually turns up quickly- just be prepared to pay the meter.

Fast fresh flavors of fusion - Edit
Stuck in Silver Spring and seeking Seoul? This place is quick and tasty, but it might seem more expensive than expected, but I feel it's one of the best vegan friendly choices in this area.
Read moreSprouts, kimchi, tofu, avocado, soba, seaweed, sticky rice and spicy sauce blend well together as an unorthodox bibimbap or burrito. Maki rolls are also available, along with specials! The staff really know what's vegan- it is comforting that they make the kimchi vegan!!! Just ask!
However, the pancakes and baked goods are not vegan. Still, a great and fun choice in Silver Spring! You can park in the gas station lot or on the street. You can eat inside, and decor is super cute!
Pros: Vegan friendly, Healthy, Flavorful!
Cons: Location odd
