Pretty restaurant & good food

I cannot give 5 stars since the app only let us give it to fully vegan/vegetarian place but if I could, I would have.

We ordered the vegetarian set and the owner verified with us (in English) if we eat egg/cheese. The food was very good and well portioned for two people.

The vegan & vegetarian sets do not appear on the Korean menu, only the English one. The vegan/vegetarian sets are a little bit more expensive than the meat one (49000/47000).

Specify vegan

When we went there were 3 vegan options, although I imagine the menu is seasonal. We got the 바삭연근튀김 통들깨면 and 청도미나리물회. One of them came with loads of fried omelette pieces mixed in despite the fact we asked for vegan and specifically said no egg, but they gave us a replacement free of charge. But be as explicit as you can when you order if you don't eat egg.

The food was ok, quite small portions though for the price. The space is nice and modern and the staff were friendly.

Great vegan Menu

The Restaurant offers a set vegan menu which consists of 2 different noddle dishes, Lotus steamed rice and some side dishes.

The menu ist completely in Korean but at the end there is one English sentence that they offer a vegan menu.
The owner speaks fluent English and explained the vegan menu very well. He even asked us if we are vegetarian or vegan when we entered the Restaurant which was great since we sometimes had problems explainig what "vegan" means in other restaurants.

The food was really delicious and I was so glad to find a vegan option in Gyeongju!
My favourite was the cold noodle dish, it was full of vegetables and a slightly spicy sauce - the Lotus rice was a great addition :)

So if you visit Gyeongju you should definitely give it a try!
