Closed for Lunar New Year 😭 Naver said it was open, but not true.
Wow! This place is excellent in every way! It just became my new favorite restaurant for so many reasons.
The place is beautifully landscaped outside, Zen garden with stone path leading to a mostly wood-based restaurant and decor.
Inside is warm and inviting, complete with a coal furnace. Large bay windows showcase nature in all her glory- beautiful trees, mountains in the background and a rock garden complete with baby pumpkins.
The 6 long dining tables are low with seat cushions. The tables are made of raw, naturalistic wood planks. Very earthy and organic, with natural grooves and contours.
The dining room is filled with art and Korean calligraphy. There are beautiful, antique-like tea sets for sale. If I had room in my suitcase, it would be very tempting.
Now for the food! The menu is made of natural paper with hand-written calligraphy. For those who cannot read Korean calligraphy (me!), there's a picture book menu in English. Point to what you want, couldnt be simpler.
The lady serving was so sweet and helpful. She could tell my Korean was poor and was very understanding. First, I was served hot tea...then I ordered the Vegan bibimbap. 😋

What a spread...A+
So beautiful, fresh and delicious.
The food is full of good energy, a lot of raw elements and minimally seasoned. The natural flavors (spinach, daikon root, cabbage kimchi, etc) were a true treat for the taste buds and the GI tract!
This was the best meal I have had in a very long time.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I highly recommend visiting this place, even if you're not vegan.
I will be back 🥰👍
2nd visit:
I rarely repeat a restaurant, let alone a meal...but the vegan bibimbap is unbelievably good.
Delicious and nutritious!
Price went up since my 1st visit.
