ALT.a

Agree with the many other reviews that the food here is truly exceptional! The restaurant is deserving of its Michelin recognition. I got the Veep Japchae, and it was honestly one of the best vegan meals I’ve had here in Seoul. The sauce was so delicious, I wanted to lick the plate. 😋 I’ve tried a lot of the vegan restaurants in Seoul, and ALT.a is definitely is near the top. I’d recommend trying to come for dinner before 7:30 p.m. It got super busy after that.

I had such a wonderful experience! The food was absolutely delicious – every dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. But what truly made the evening special was our waitress Luicia. She was warm, attentive, and genuinely cared about making sure we had everything we needed. Her recommendations were spot on, and she made us feel welcome from start to finish. A perfect combination of amazing food and outstanding service – I’ll definitely be coming back!

We ordered the cucumber salad, 3 fried veggies and the mushroom veef dish. The food was flavourful and ambience lovely. I would strongly suggest reserving a table online before you go.

Such a pleasant surprise- Every dish was amazing! You should for sure try eggplant, cucumber salad and desert. The location is great as well close to many small antique stores.

This is likely the overall best vegan restaurant in Seoul. If more vegan dishes tasted this good then I'd consider converting. The restaurant is indoor seating with a couple of patio tables. You go to the counter to order whenever you're ready. Staff speaks English and credit cards are accepted. The spicy noodles are great and filling, especially for the price. The soy bean pastes are also very good. Stick to the rice and noodle plates for dishes 1/2 the price that are still huge portions. The fried dumplings are a great choice of a side. Staff is very friendly and great hosts. I'd happily return any time for a meal! My menu photos are current as of October 2024.

Came in 1 hour and 10 minutes before closing and the rude waiter rudely rushed us to order, once we looked at the menu she started shouting “you have 1 minute to order”. We didn’t even have enough time to decide what to order before our time ran out and she didn’t allow us to order. I wish I was kidding, this was at 8:49pm. Maybe the food is good, but I guess we’ll never know.

I don't know why I have to pay this much when they don’t even offer table service. Every time I wanted to order, I had to go up to the cashier, read the menu there, place my order, and pay on the spot. The food was decent for vegetarian dishes, but the service was lacking. The tables are packed too closely together, making it difficult to move around—especially when you have to squeeze through to get to the cashier just to place an order or pay.

We are a group of non-vegans who came to dine here 3 days in a row because it was simply THAT great. We had different dishes from the menu each time and they were all amazing. Frankly this was the best meals we had in Seoul. 11/10 recommend!!!! The lady who runs the place is also incredibly nice and great at giving reccs. We can’t WAIT to be back. Amazing Jjajang noodles, vegan jampong, mapo tofu etc.
