A Message to Vegan Spot Finders
Dear Vegan Spot Finders,
This guide began with a simple experience: sharing advice with vegetarian friends as they traveled in Korea. Many of them felt unsure—where to eat, what to ask, or how to enjoy Korean food without constant worry. In those conversations, it became clear how much comfort even small pieces of knowledge could bring.
If you, like my friends, need a little support or don’t know where to start, this guide is for you. Exploring a new food culture can be exciting, but it can also feel overwhelming when faced with unfamiliar ingredients, customs, or expectations.
With the right context, however, those uncertainties can turn into confidence, curiosity, and discovery— helping you feel more at ease in Korea, even as a visitor.
Vegan Spots Korea was created to share that context. From understanding everyday dining culture to recognizing hidden ingredients and knowing what questions to ask, our aim is to make your journey in Korea feel more approachable, enjoyable, and meaningful.
This journey is not ours alone. The places you discover, the meals you remember, and the stories you carry with you all contribute to a broader, evolving understanding of vegan travel in Korea.
Thank you for being part of that journey—and for approaching Korean food culture with openness, patience, and curiosity.
We hope this guide helps you find moments of comfort, surprise, and connection along the way.
Thank you for being part of this journey.
