Near Haebangchon. A vegan restaurant on Sowol-ro in Yongsan-gu, recognized for its inventive menu built around tofu and plant-based ingredients. The signature broccoli tofu gangjeong bowl features oven-baked tofu pieces - crispy on the outside, moist within - topped with quinoa, kamut, black beans, corn, and red onion, all brought together with a soy mayo that adds a creamy dimension. A lime vinegar sauce ties the bowl's flavors into balance, delivering genuine satisfaction despite the entirely plant-based composition. The byTOFU wrap pairs tofu chips and carrot rapé in a Mexican-style sauce, accompanied by a chipotle mayo so well-crafted that some visitors consider buying it separately. The menu also includes banh mi, hummus, and a Thai-style salad called BTS, along with rice-based vegan bakery items and a standout black sesame muffin. Portions are generous - an order for two can feel like three servings. The restaurant opens at 9 AM but closes at 5 PM with a 4:30 PM last order, and popular items frequently sell out later in the day, making early visits advisable. There is no on-site parking, so checking nearby public parking options in advance is recommended.
