Anyone know a good vegan restaurant in Busan? I'd prefer something that's actually Korean food as I'm taking a visiting friend out for dinner and she'd like to experience Korean food without eating meat or fish (or egg or dairy).

It'd be nice if it were near Busan Station or Haeundae which are the areas we'll be in.

The place you want to go is in Seomyeon. It's called 웰빙남새부페 (Well-Bing Nam-Sae Bu-Pae) and is at 새싹길 21 (Sae-Ssak-gil 21) The phone number is 051-818-9282. The owner speaks some English and his daughter who works as the waitress speaks English fairly well.

To get there from Seomyeon Station, go out Exit 11 and bear left at the very first corner. Bear left at the next corner. Continue down that street for a block and a half. You'll see a KB* bank on your left. The restaurant is in the building after that. There are two stairwells in the restaurant's building. Take the stairwell to the left and go to the second floor. The price is 1200 Won (IIRC) for all you can eat. Drinks are extra.

Here's a map (in Korean) with Exit 11 circled in red.

I've been there twice, it's a good place.
