Soiroum is a vegan restaurant in the Seochon neighborhood of Jongno-gu, Seoul, proving that plant-based cooking can deliver genuinely satisfying depth of flavor and texture. The vegan hamburg steak is a signature-even non-vegans praise it as a dish that stands on its own merit, with grilled vegetables alongside that are equally well-prepared. The grain burger is a highlight: built on a house-made seoritae black soybean patty, vegan Thousand Island sauce, and a 100-percent whole wheat bun baked on-site that defies expectations with its chewy, crisp texture and none of the dense heaviness typical of whole grain breads. The sweet pumpkin cream ongsimi features wonderfully chewy rice dumplings in a velvety pumpkin cream, and the vegetable curry soup pairs beautifully with brown rice for a gentle, stomach-friendly meal. The avocado sandwich, priced at 9,500 won, carries a mild spicy kick and works well as a light, no-fuss lunch. For drinks, the barley coffee is a standout-nutty and full-bodied, perfect for those seeking a decaffeinated option-while the lemon tea is bracingly refreshing. The restaurant sits in an ideal spot for visitors walking from Suseongdong Valley, and the warm, attentive service from the older owner sets a welcoming tone from the moment you step through the door. Staff are genuinely kind, and the clean, thoughtfully designed interior is accompanied by curated background music. This is a place where omnivores leave fully satisfied-a well-kept spot in Seochon that has earned quiet devotion from regulars.
