the vegan korean fried chicken i’ve been waiting for

we got here just before closing so we had to get the food as takeaway but it genuinely didn’t matter. i was doing happy dances the entire time while eating this and only let my friends try one piece each - otherwise i did in fact gobble up the entire share-sized portion by myself. no regrets. the batter was really flavourful - and even better when dipped into the sauce. the the texture was good even if it was little too spongey for what i would have wished. if i’m ever in seoul again i will definitely go back if possible

Pros: all the vegan options!

Good food!

Why is this vegan option but it’s all vegan place?
Edit: not a vegan place, be careful ordering!!!

Good vegan chicken

Nice to find a vegan friendly place in the area.
The sauces are outstanding. Recommend adding another sauce to the order, it gives good variety. We enjoyed the highballs too.

Pros: You can order numerous sauces to dip your food in., All sauces and spices are vegan, They are conscious of cross contamination

Yummy fried chicken

I was really happy to finally be able up enjoy Korean fried vegan chicken and beer, and the vegan chicken was really tasty. Since they use seitan the texture is really nice and the yangneom sauce was yummy.

Pros: Vegan chicken with plenty of sauce options, Also has vegan sides

Extremely disappointing

We went in with high expectations because of the reviews and we were sorely disappointed! One of the worst chick'n we have ever tried. It was oily, had poor texture and lacked flavour. Not even the chili potato fries were good. On top of it all, the place is really small and the smell of frying is overpowering.
I really can't comprehend the good reviews.

Just Ok

It was good but nothing exceptional. I had way better mock chicken, quite dry. The single portion is quite big for one person, so I had to take way.

Tasty!

I got the vegan chicken and corn. The corn was very good! The chicken was cripsy. I went with my nonvegan friend and they were able to eat normal chicken. Good for vegans and non vegans

Delicious Korean Fried Chicken

I had my eye on Vampire Chicken pretty much as soon as we arrived in Seoul so I was excited to give it a try. The ordering process was pretty straightforward, you make your choices and fill them out on a slip of paper. The staff warned me that my choice of spicy bbq flavour was very spicy and suggested the spicy hot pot for something that was more of a medium spicy. We also got a peanut and chilli sauce too.

The chicken was delicious. The coating was excellent, well seasoned and very crispy. The texture was enjoyable. It wasn't really trying to ape chicken like at Vegan Kitchen or Camouflage, it was clearly a well made piece of seitan that was enjoyable to eat. The spicy hot pot sauce was perfect for me, it had great flavour that on first taste didn't seem spicy but the heat grew in the moments after. The peanut sauce was also very good and was milder, with a little chilli kick to it. The food also came with some pickled radishes, mustard and salt.

It's a small place with only about 6-8 seats so be prepared for takeaway if it's busy. There's also a step up to get inside so it's not easily wheelchair accessible.

it's good but

they used to be fully vegan and then recently started selling chicken too... I wouldn't not go back for that reason but it's 🧐🧍🏻‍♀️😟
I think they def nailed the KFC (korean) experience but it's not like mindblowing(?)

I would give 5 stars if I could

The vegan ch*cken was the best I've tried in Seoul (and I've tried a LOT). It was really tender on the inside and fried to perfection. You could have it with any of the sauces (all vegan, varying spiciness) and they brought out vegan Mac and cheese and a fried corn salad that I've never tried anywhere before but was super good! I read on here that the portion sizes are huge but since we're three hungry people we ordered two servings and wow... There was probably enough for at least 6 people, maybe more!! (Don't order less though, take some home yum yum). The staff there were also super friendly.

Pros: Super friendly staff, Huge portions, All the sauces are vegan

Really authentic vegan chicken!

It’s my second time visiting here! And I am never disappointed by the serving! The chicken is made totally from the wheat extract and tastes so amazing! I like the chilli peanut sauce as well!

Pros: Excellent sauce , The texture is amazing , Service is good

Cons: Bit expensive , But faraway from the station , Only few seats

Well-seasoned seitan chicken

I made some rookie mistakes that I’m embarrassed to admit to. First, I forgot that fried chicken, like most meals in Korea, is a family affair. So while I thought this was maybe a little expensive for fried vegan chicken, I quickly learned that that was due to the portion size feeding a small village.
My second mistake was forgetting that Korean ‘spicy’ is not the same as regular ‘spicy’. Korean spicy actually means staring at death and welcoming it like an old friend. It means riding a pale horse into the apocalypse. So when I ordered extra spicy bbq sauce (my order already came with it), I realized I had enough spice in front of me to build an improvised explosive.
All this to say, I ordered the vegan fried chicken with spicy bbq sauce, and I will not need order any more food until 2025.
Also I got this weird fried corn dish that was really tasty!

Pros: Friendly staff., Huge portions, Eat-in & takeaway options

Cons: Mostly real chicken on the menu

It’s okay

The fried chicken here is just okay. The texture of the chicken itself is not very realistic unlike other mock chicken I have had, though I will say it was very crispy on the outside, and it stayed crispy even after a 20 minute walk and throughout the whole time I ate it. I got the “seasoned spicy” flavor but it was not spicy at all, which was a big disappointment. Actually it didn’t taste like much, just a bit sweet. The serving is giant, enough for two people to share and be satisfied.

Pros: Crispiness, Big serving

Cons: Not spicy, Needs more flavor

Good plant based chicken

The plant based chicken option is fantastic. The texture and flavour was the best I had in Seoul. There are different sauce options to go with the chicken.

Delicious!

Delicious option for plant based people traveling with carnivores. Large portions.

First, pick a preparation (number) by writing the letter of the size you want. Then, write the quantity of sauces you want.

Limited, but nice seating.

I would give five stars but this silly app won’t let me.

Pros: Vegan fried chicken

Good chicken

Had the Green onion and Mustard chicken, season spicy chicken and side of mac and cheese. It was really good! The portion of the chicen is pretty big so it's worth the price 👍

Better than meat!

The place to go for fried no-chicken! ⭐️

It was not easy to find a store that does not use meat but here it is! The processed saitan is very tasty and the staff very friendly! I was even warned that the Hot BBQ chicken is very spicy.

Pros: Yummy, Awesome texture, Friendly staff

This is a revolution

I thought it was really meat, but I never imagined it was vegan. The vegan I knew wasn't delicious, but I was surprised because it was so delicious. If I really ate it without knowing, I would have thought it was meat.
