I stumbled upon this tiny restaurant while walking through Bukchon, looking for a quiet place to eat alone. The sign caught my attention with its promise of no MSG, gluten-free options, and vegetarian dishes. While I’m not vegetarian, I was curious to try some natural, handmade cooking. Before entering I was asked to sanitize my hands. Place is a bit chaotic like different things stacked on the side yet I don’t find dirts or dusty, but a lot of plants inside. The owner, an elderly lady, surprisingly spoke English, which is quite rare. I ordered the Cold Noodles for 15,000krw, which she personally prepared—it took about 15 minutes. The dish was delicious, though I felt the toppings could have been more generous. While eating, I noticed that she was also having her meal. When I finished, she smiled and said, “Oh, I just finished mine too.” She asked where I was from, and when I told her I was from the Philippines, she complimented me, saying I was very beautiful. I felt a little shy but thanked her. I’ve read comments about her being rude, but I personally didn’t experience that. Perhaps it depends on her mood, which is understandable given her age. Overall, it was a nice experience, and I appreciate the effort she puts into her food.

The lady was extremely rude and hostile to us from the beginning. I wouldn’t bother eating here as the food is mediocre and for the attitude and unwelcomed feeling, it isn’t worth it. We were really excited to try the food as there were a couple of gluten free options and it was vegan friendly which is a little tricky to find when in Seoul. We walked in the restaurant and immediately were given the hand and told not to come in because she was cleaning one of the tables so we patiently waited. Finally after 10mins we were allowed in only after we were rudely spoken to that we needed to sanitise our hands, again fine. We then sat patiently thinking she would come over to take the order but then again were told off for not writing down our order on the ticket placed on the table, which she didn’t tell us. Our partners weren’t too keen on the food so decided to go elsewhere to eat while we enjoyed here. When she saw it was only two people, we were yelled at to “get up, move, sit there” which was for 2 people. The place is small but it was not busy. There was 1 other person when we were there and no one else had come in. If it weren’t from my friend wanting a vegan friendly meal, I would have walked out and left. When we got our food it was tossed to us. My friend then wanted to order a take away as she enjoyed her food for which she was rudely told, “No, I’m too busy. I am having a conversation with this man”, the only other customer there. We were absolutely shocked by the rudeness. I had to get my purse from my backpack so I placed it on the table and was yelled at for it because she would have to re-clean the table. Don’t come here unless you like being treated rudely.
