Camouflage is a 100% vegan restaurant in Itaewon, Seoul, serving plant-based versions of Chinese-American dishes. The entire menu is free from animal products, so dairy, egg, and other animal-based allergens are inherently absent. However, the kitchen is not dedicated to other allergens like gluten or soy, and cross-contamination risks are not addressed in available sources.
Honest caveat, No information on cross-contamination practices for non-vegan allergens (e.g., gluten, soy, nuts) is available.
The owner states the venue is 'always 100% vegan 🌱'. Menu items like hummus, mushroom pizza, veggie curry, and burgers are all plant-based.

URT is a fully vegan restaurant and bakery, meaning no animal products (meat, dairy, eggs, honey) are used in any dish. The venue is explicitly labelled as vegan on HappyCow and described as a 'fully vegan restaurant and bakery' by multiple sources. This is a structural fact: the kitchen does not stock animal-derived ingredients, so vegan diners can eat anything on the menu without concern. No dedicated equipment or cross-contamination protocols are mentioned, but the absence of animal ingredients from the premises makes this a very safe choice for vegans.
The venue markets itself as a certified vegan and Halal Korean restaurant. The menu is entirely plant-based, and staff can omit alliums on request. Multiple reviews confirm a fully vegan menu, though one source mentions the rice contains barley, which is a disclosure issue for strict vegans on a whole-food diet.
Honest caveat, Rice contains barley but this is not disclosed on the menu; diners who avoid barley for dietary or ethical reasons should ask.
The venue's own website states 'Every plate starts vegan; meat is simply an option' and explicitly labels dishes as 'VEGAN' on the menu. Multiple HappyCow reviews confirm vegan options are clearly labelled on the ordering kiosk, and staff proactively confirm that sauces are vegan. The kitchen is shared with meat dishes, so cross-contact is possible, but the venue's philosophy and menu design strongly support vegan diners.
This is a vegan restaurant serving entirely plant-based dishes. Multiple sources confirm the menu is fully vegan, including drinks, starters, and desserts. However, there is no marked allergen menu and cross-contact with allergens is not addressed. Diners with strict vegan concerns can feel confident that the food is vegan by definition, but those with additional dietary needs should confirm specifics with the staff.

User reviews on HappyCow and Spinach describe clearly labeled vegan pastries, coffee with soy and oat milk, and a keto/gluten-free bakery with vegan options. The source material is entirely community-reported — no venue-owned allergen menu or training information is available. Vegan options are present and labeled, but the shared kitchen setup for vegan versus non-vegan items (including cross-contact with eggs or dairy) is not discussed. This qualifies as a Reliable tier: you should confirm your requirements with staff when ordering.
The venue is a vegan bakery and cafe with a completely vegan menu, as confirmed by multiple HappyCow reviews. However, no information is available about dedicated equipment, cross-contamination protocols, or staff training for vegan preparation. The kitchen is shared with other items, but since the entire menu is vegan, the risk of non-vegan cross-contact is minimal. Still, diners with strict vegan requirements (e.g., avoiding honey or palm oil) should confirm with staff.
Plantude Yongsan is a plant-based restaurant, but the term 'plant-based' is used vaguely and dishes are not explicitly marked as vegan. The tablet menu lists ingredients for most dishes, allowing scrutiny, but there is no mention of dedicated equipment or cross-contamination protocols. Staff are helpful and speak English, but the kitchen practice for vegan purity is unverified.
Honest caveat, One review reports a serious food quality incident (cooked larva) with refusal to remake or refund, though not specifically allergen-related.
