Hwangridan Budaejjigae
Budaejjigae is prepared traditionally with an option to be made vegan on request—request no cheese to avoid dairy. The owner communicates in English and is attentive in customizing the vegan stew with sprouts, leek, vegan kimchi, and beans, served warm and filling at a budget-friendly price around 12,000 KRW. This casual spot serves only lunch and can be tricky to locate on some maps, so confirming the address beforehand is advisable.
