Hangwachae - Dobong-gu

Was planning to go to Osegyehang and chanced about this place enroute there and decided to pop in. Very kind middle-aged couple immediately served me hot tea, soup and black sesame congee. Soup was very tasty with a nice peppery punch. It’s buffet style so you take what you want, as much as you want all for 13,000krw. Enjoyed the meal as everything tasted good and wholesome!

The lady boss was wonderful. In her shy and hesitant way, she did her best to reassure my wife and I that it was meat free vegetarian food. Although there was a dish that has garlic, she took special effort to explain to us which dishes had no alliums. The soup was superb, warming and robust with flavour. Its slight sourish flavour opened our appetite and got us started in our journey into Korean cuisine. The different vegetables dishes had been marinated and in their different ways, gave us flavours of sour, salty, sweet and even bitter. The sesame and purple rice porridge was nourishing and provided a perfect counterpoint to cleanse our palate. The pancake was freshly cooked for us. Though we had questions, she took pains to explain to us the ingredients. It was a buffet, and for 13 thousand won, it was well worth the money. All in all, I would consider this one of my best meals in my visit to seoul.

Very diricious and healthy Korean buffet. There were brown/ mixed grein rice, miso soup and various vegetable dishes. The soup was awesome. I will eat here everyday if I live in Seoul. It was shame that there are no customer except us during whole dinner time. Probably because meat and seafood are mainstream in Korea.

Soooo goooood I’m seriously in love. K-traditional vegan buffet restaurant HIGHLY RECOMMEND to everyone.

The lunch buffet was delicious and all vegan! I got to try many Korean foods I'd never had before. Great value for the money. I will definitely come back next time I'm in Seoul.
