SOBAN

Several dishes are clearly marked 'V' on the menu: Tofu Salad, Japchae (available vegetarian or with beef), Kimbap, and Kimmari. A vegetable-filled dumpling option is also listed. The kitchen prepares meat alongside these dishes — shared prep surfaces are a given — but the 'V' markers make it straightforward to identify your choices without having to interrogate the menu.

Coeliac · Gluten-free

Best effort, No marked menu but staff will accommodate when asked. Quality varies by who's working that shift; safer to call ahead and confirm.

No dishes are marked gluten-free on the menu, and wheat-containing items are prevalent — ramyun, jjapagetti, dumplings, and batter-coated items all appear. The venue's own allergen notice warns that dishes 'may contain or come into contact with wheat (gluten)' and that cross-contamination may occur. Staff are asked to be told about allergies before ordering, which is the only formal accommodation in place. Calling ahead is strongly advisable; a reliably safe coeliac visit is not supported by the current evidence.

Vegan-friendly dishes exist — tofu salad, japchae, kimbap, jjapagetti, and vegetable dumplings are all candidates — but the menu carries no 'VG' marker or vegan-specific section. A vegan diner found staff genuinely helpful in talking through options on the spot, though the menu itself gives no guidance. You'll need to ask which dishes can be made dairy-free; the HappyCow listing specifically flags 'request no dairy while ordering.' Quality of the conversation will depend on who's working that shift.
