PLANT

플랜트 연남 Peullaenteu Yeonnam Plant is simply the English word, fitting a kitchen where everything is plant-based; this is the Yeonnam branch of the PLANT that first opened in Itaewon.

Compiled from 21 blog posts read in fullSources →

PLANT Yeonnam is an all-vegan restaurant in the Yeonnam-dong backstreets, a 5–10 minute walk from Hongik Univ. Station; posts describe it as the Yeonnam branch of the PLANT that began in Itaewon. You order at a kiosk by the door, collect your food when your number comes up, and help yourself to water, cutlery and sauces. Since March 2025 salad and rice bowls have been 15,000 won and wraps 13,000 won; the most-ordered dishes are the falafel bowl (6 posts) and the hummus tempeh bowl (6). We read 30 posts from January 2025 to October 2026; 21 record actually eating here, and the other 9 were about different places that share the name.

Counted from what bloggers wrote in their posts; we did not confirm it with the restaurant. Where the values differ, it may be a change over time rather than a disagreement, so we show when each one was written.

What sets it apart

  1. Eleven posts say most of the other diners were foreigners — 'everyone but us, staff and guests alike' (March 2026), 'all foreigners except one other table' (September 2026). Staff are mostly foreign too and call order numbers in English, though several posts add that they speak Korean.
  2. Ten posts call the portions large: a burrito served in halves 'each the size of a face', a friend who left half her bowl, a lunch that meant skipping dinner. One post wrote both 'on the generous side' and 'moderate'. A regular noted in October 2025 that today's bowls have fewer vegetables than the old hummus salad — 'just right for one'.
  3. Nine posts mention ordering at the kiosk, which offers English, Japanese and Chinese; one adds that you return your own dishes to a rack.
  4. Seven posts call the room spacious, with 2–4 seat tables and an 8-seat table; one counts about 30 seats, better for small groups than large parties. Four mention terrace seating. One post, though, found the two-tops too small for the dishes and the sofa seats cramped.

Where it is

Map showing where PLANT is

We could not find this shop’s own listing on Naver Map, so the link searches for its Korean name around this spot instead.

From the station

4 posts say it is walkable from the station.

Getting inside

In a basementyes 0 · no 1 (of 21 posts read)
Toilet inside1 of 21 posts

Nobody wrote about a step at the entrance or getting in with a wheelchair or stroller — that is unknown, not absent. One post notes it is on the ground floor and one mentions high chairs.

Only one post mentions the toilet, saying it is inside; nobody says whether it is gender-separated or how big it is.

No one mentioned: Second floor · Lift to the floor · Ramp at the door · Step at the entrance · Step-free access · Accessible toilet · Separate restrooms. That is not the same as there being none — it means we could not confirm it. Worth calling ahead, and do tell us: we will put it here.

What we do not know

  • Seasoning splits evenly: two posts found it salty (one noting her companion didn't), two found it milder than expected.
  • Waits vary: one post walked in at noon on a public holiday and saw a queue form ten minutes later; two found it quiet at the 11am weekend opening and at 4pm. One September 2026 post booked by phone for a weekend visit.
  • The menu changed around March 2025. Posts up to February 2025 mention a burger (12,500 won), spaghetti and meatballs and a Thai green curry (18,000 won each); from late March the menu is bowls at 15,000 and wraps at 13,000. An October 2025 post found the hummus salad replaced by the hummus tempeh bowl, and a September 2026 post says this branch no longer serves burgers.
  • Prices: bowls have stayed at 15,000 won from March 2025 to September 2026. Wraps were 13,000 won through October 2025, but an April 2026 post paid 14,000 for the chipotle chicken wrap, so we can't tell whether wraps went up. A bowl plus an ade (7,000) comes to about 22,000 won.
  • Opening hours: eight posts agree on 11:00–22:00, last order 21:00, closed Mondays — though most are copied info lines, and two say 'daily' while also listing the Monday closure.
  • Four posts give the same phone number, 02-337-1982. Reservations are unclear: a September 2026 post booked by phone, while one copied info line says no reservations.
