Plantude Yongsan — Restaurant in Seoul

This place holds much potential. However, I did not have an entirely pleasant experience. Firstly, the navigation to this place is difficult as there are no English signs, and no mention of the floor and unit number from recent reviews (FYI, it is on level 7, right by the lift). Second, although the closing hour is indicated for 9pm, the restaurant starts packing up at around 8pm and restricts the menu items to only 3 (perhaps from those that can be reheated from existing stock). Unfortunately, we reached around 8.05pm so we were not able to select our desired menu items, despite making a trip to try this place specifically. We opted for the Ragu Ragatoni Pasta and the Soft Tofu from Hell - they were delicious nonetheless, which is why I mention initially the great potential of this place. Of course, I have to rate this place based on the experience I have encountered, and I will look forward to visiting this place (or its other outlet) again at an earlier timing, perhaps for lunch.

Edit: returned for a second visit, this time at an earlier time. I still remember the orientation of the mall and had no difficulties finding the place this time. Google seems to have updated the exact location of this place, which is helpful. Managed to try other dishes and they continue to be tasty. Would recommend to any...

A nice vegan restaurant located within the huge I’Park Mall. It’s such a great change in Korea because now vegetarians and vegans can enjoy a full meal even within massive shopping outlets and malls!

The tomato sundubu stew is amazing. You can order it as a set alongside tofu-katsu, and it is super filling.

Just fyi, this is the second Plantude location after the one in Coex and the menu is a bit different. It offers two items as sets with a slightly higher price.

P.S. the place is owned and managed by Pulmuone, Korea’s leading tofu manufacturer. They also sell their vegan yogurts and...
