Come eat with me as we explore Myeong-Dong, Gwangjang and Tongin markets and find all the vegan-friendly options!!! Everywhere else we ate in Seoul was a specifically vegan or vegetarian restaurant and getting street food the main time I was very grateful for having learnt a bit of Korean before our trip.

I want go to korean i was afraid with the food because I'm vegan I absolutely want to taste street food , now I know it possible
Me too I m 100%pure veg
Most vegan restaurants are in Seoul. Beware of most kimchi, and soup becauee they usually have fish.
Samee
Me too
Same here. I was especially scared of sweet stuff once I heard that refined sugar uses bone char as bleaching agent.
This will be my guide when I visit Seoul.
Abby Kuo I have a bigger guide comingggg soon! ❤️
Me tooooo👍
Yaa 💜💜💜
I'm vegetarian and going to korea always scared me a bit, almost everything has either seafood or meat in it. This definitely will be my guide when I finally go there
I m also veg
there are so many vegan restaurants are run by monk (Buddhism) and if you are okay to try temple stay, it would be amazing experience you could try!
Don't eat anything new unless you really sure abt ingredients.. outside India people really don't know veganism..it's not there fault it just cultural difference
I am also vegetarian. And I also want to go South Korea .
Same here 🤗 i want to meet BTS💜
Don't be afraid to make the videos longer. 30 minutes? I'd Happily watch that :)
Noted 😉
Yes
Agreed
Thank you for not only making this vegan street food video but also using your own container, cup & straw to buy food & drinks. Absolutely love your zero waste practice =D
Much Respect for bringing your own plates and utensils.
Asian 😁
Me too 😂
so true!
I like this idea it's very cool trick
I NEED ALL THIS IN AUSTRALIA! SOMEONE NEEDS TO OPEN UP A VEGAN KOREA RESTAURANT HERE!
Jacqui Rose I AGREEE WE NEEEEED THISSSS
Yes, that would be amazing.
Oh this was just torturous 😩😩 everything looks so so good! This video was super helpful and extensive, you really did your research. Also love how you bring your own containers, cutlery and straw.
Looking forward to your Korean phrases video and Japan videos 😍
In Seoul for the weekend and this was very helpful! I very much appreciate the inclusion of how to say No Meat, No Egg, etc.
thank you!
This is so awesome. I have a couple of friends who lived in Korea who said it was SUPER unvegan. In China I found it was fairly easy to find vegan street food, but not always possible. In Japan, where I live now, at festivals and such it's not TOO hard to find SOMETHING, but not often this many options.
Is it so? I always thought that it'd be harder to find vegan food in Japan rather than Korea. I didn't know it was the other way around.
@@laksh_12345 Well, it seems I was lucky with the first few festivals I went to! After the first year all the vendors had different flavors of fries that all had dairy in them for example, where the year before there were some that were fine.
There were still things like candied fruits and such, but the festivals my second go around had a LOT less options. Almost nothing.
@@DakotaAbroad I see. Well I'm glad you atleast got to experience it the first time. Don't mind me. I'll just take my jealousy somewhere else!😂
For me one of the most challenging vegan obstacles in Korea is fish. It’s hard to tell sometimes whether or not some savory foods were made with fish sauce, fish stock, shrimp jeot, fish-flavored soy sauce, etc… it hides in a lot of foods!
I had such a hard time in Korea. One night walking for HOURS looking for vegan food lol
The strawberrys bis only small cos they are out of season in Korean right now. Most of the time they are huge.
annnguyenvu aaaaaah makes sense.!!! ❤️
I am vegetarian and was not sure if street food in Korean would offer anything for me. But this video changed my mind. So happy to see there are so many options on street food for vegan & vegetarian!
I'm vegetarian and this video definitely helps me
Came here after seeing videos of live octopuses being sold 💔 This soothes my heart.
It’s torture 😭 It makes me hungry . I really want to go to South Korea but I thought that it would be difficult as a vegan 🌱 but you made me realize that is possible thank you !!!!
INCREDIBLE! THANK YOUUUUU

It's great to watch it ;)
wow, i would never imagine Korea has so many vegan food options! Amazing
I love how you used a reusable box to have your food put into! Excellent video! Can't wait to go now
Great video! I appreciate it so much to see locals showing street food or traditional food that is vegan or where to get it. Very useful for me as a tourist in South Korea! Thank you
Extremely helpful. Thank you so much. Vegan phrase video in Korean? Yes please!
Ooh, happy to see the sign boards with the dish names in English..more than happy to see the vegetarian options!!
Lovely video, thank you so much 🌸🙏🌹
We just moved in Korea last week and I so appreciate your video! Now I’m so excited to explore Seoul and enjoy vegan food! Thank you❤️
Happy to know that veg food available in Korea.😀😀
I thought being vegan in Korea would be so difficult because that's what I've heard akdjaja now I'm excited to go when I'm older and hopefully there'll even be MORE vegan options then :D
it's easier to be vegan in korea than anywhere else in my opinion. our food is mostly plant-based and we need to dispel the idea that it's all korean bbq. meat wasn't even a staple part of our diet until after the 80's. and the food is actually delicious. I don't understand how white people can be vegan lol their food is trash
@@ryanmgkim it really depends on your circumstances. If you’re eating homemade food all the time it’s somewhat easy to keep your diet vegan here but if you’re a student/tourist it’s extremely challenging because most 외식 foods have some form of animal derivative in them. Being vegan isn’t just about taking out the meat you know. Eggs and seafood count too which is tough because both are staples in Korean food (not to mention dairy too, although that’s usually easy to avoid here). As a vegan, you can’t even eat kimchi at most restaurants because most people make it with 새우젓 or 멸치액. I would say that Korea is pretty challenging for vegans because not only are there a lot of sneaky, easy-to-miss animal products, but also there isn’t much variety in non-animal protein sources. It’s either plain beans (types of beans sold here are also very limited compared to other countries and freaking expensive) or tofu for the most part which could get really boring for a lot of people. And that’s not even mentioning the social implications of being vegan! Basically unless your whole family/friend group is also vegan (extremely unlikely) you’re going to be put in sooo many awkward situations since Korea has so much shared-meal culture. In other countries it’s easy to just order your own meal at a restaurant but you usually can’t do that here.
@@PumpkinMozie I understood that very easily. I think one has to keep fresh fruits with him to avoid getting in difficult situations plus there are many Indian restaurants where vegan + vegetarian food is available .
Such a great video! Really want to go to korea right now 😅😅😅😭
YES!!! LOVE THIS VIDEO AND HELPFUL COMMENTARY YES YES YES! Can't wait for the next vids
Thank you so much for this video! 👍🙏🇰🇷 Going to travel to Korea, watched it 3 times with my family, preparing for the trip and taking notes. 🙂
Oh I needed this two years ago! I found quite possibly my favourite veg place ever in Busan but don't think it exists anymore 😢
This is just amazing. I am just getting into Korean food tbh and it was really difficult at the beginning how to get this really nice Korean flavor in a vegan way ... Thank you so much for all your brilliant vegan food content! Keep the videos coming :)
aww, that japchae guy’s smile the second time you came back
I've watched this video (and others from this SK series) so so many times :) Please make more content - the production quality is great, and your videos are so informative! Really a treasure
Aaahh this made me so so hungry! As 20+ year vegan who visited Seoul once, I definitely have to go there again now. Thanks for the great suggestions. =)
The fried banana ❤️
I am so happy i saw this video.... I was so worried because i am planning to go to korea... I am gonna write all the dishes and places... And make sure to visit them.. Thnakyou.
Omg you are a lifesaver! I went to Seoul last summer and didnt bother checking out the food in Myeondong bc I assumed most things werent vegan. I'm going back this January and thankful to have come across your channel!
Wow, I wish there was a vegan Korean restaurant near me. Thanks for covering ethical, healthy food!
Love how you slam Will's fave 😂
Wish I had found your channel before I went to Korea, but now I have an excuse to go again!!!
I one day want to travel to korea. I am so obsessed with vegan japanese and korean food. I grew up in an area of Germany where a lot of Korean and Japanese Companies settled so I really learned to love their foods.
Awesome vegan video, great work.
You’ve made me so hungry! Thanks so much for sharing. I’m now a sub🙏🏾
Love this! I've always wondered how to survive as a vego in Korea, because the Korean restaurants here have so few veg options.
You're super cute and love the clear Aussie accent. 🐨🦘 Hello from Sydney 👋🏻
Wathhing this bcs I am going to Seoul this June and usually when I travel overseas I will just eat vegan food as halal meat is just too hard to find and I want to eat local food. ♥️♥️♥️
i've just watched this video as i would love to visit Korea and want to know hot veggie/vegan food
. did you get to Seoul in June? i hope you stayed safe and had a good time if you did
Awesome video 😊😊
I studied in Korea for a year and this brought back so many memories ! I loved kwangjang, bindaettok is amaaazing ! Mayank Kimball too. I remember going to these ladies' stall and them being like "yeah eat young lady !! Eat !" Because I eat A LOT 😂
Hi, I just want you to know that I've been having Roasted Sweet Potato for lunch once a week for the past couple years thanks you to! TY TY TY Thanks for the inspiration
i could learn a little bit korean thank u
Thanks 🙏🏼❤️
Atlanta has the best vegan restaurant. It's actually in a suburb called Suwanee and the restaurant is called "Hajun Farm" or "HJ Farm". I always get the Tofu Steaks and Kimchi Dumpling Soup
This helped people who eats seafood like crab,fish and shrimp lobster and veg only this place is good to grab wowww
Oh my good, thank you !
I pretty afraid going to korea after Taiwan, since Taiwan is pretty vg-friendly.
You gave me hope, and i miss so much korean food !
roasted sweet potato is so tasty... i miss my childhood seeing it.
AHH this channel is a hidden gem! So glad The Viet Vegan brought me here. I'm ready to binge-watch all your videos (;
cheers to you for being a Vegan
Loved it
you're awesome!
Thank god at korean sells vegetarian also ...I'm so happy after watching this video
Uggggg I NEED to visit Seoul!!!!!
Loved this video. Makes me miss Korea. Also Will doing the little hearts towards the end was so cute! My dad can’t figure out how to do it for the life of him. Lol 😂 Can I also stay at your palace?! 😝😂
Oh my gosh!! I fell in love watching ur vids! And once i found out ur from Australia i fell in LOVE even more😂 Im in korea.. due to covid can't go back to Australia but anyways time for me to beinge watch😂😂
I'm going to Seoul in April and I'm so excited to try the street food 😍 did you have a list of Korean phrases that are useful to learn for checking vegan / nut free options?!
Amazing stuff. Im vegan . Loving vegan food. 🤞🏽💚🌱
You're making me hungrierrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr ..
Wow, wow, wow. How much delicious food! I think I'll try to make the breaded banana.
I think vegetarians have it a little easier than vegans because we're okay with diary and some are okay with eggs as well......so we'd be able to adjust. The problem is that because Korean cuisine relies heavily on non vegetarian products, a lot of seemingly vegetarian or even vegan dishes might have animal products in them - fish sauce being the most widely used.
This video is so so so so helpful because it really is reassuring to know that vegan friendly food can be found and enjoyed just as much in Korea!♥️
Thanks 🙏🏿 so much cant wait for covid to be over i want to go
I can't wait to try korean vegan food.
Wow, love your content your so helpful! #GoVegan
