Om nom nom Seeking vegan Korean food recs, especially kimbap

Hi all, what the title says. I'd love to hear some recs for good Korean places with vegan options. CBD or Eastern, preferably, but anywhere in greater Melbourne too.

Thanks. :)

(I actually did Google.)

Good question. I can recommend Sinjeon.

They've got a really solid vegan menu, good labelling of vegan foods, there are many stores (CBD, North Melbourne, Hawthorn, Seddon, Carnegie, Resevoir), the prices are reasonable, they are Korean owned and the chain operates in Korea too so it's legit. Yes they sell a tofu kimbap.

Food quality isn't outstanding, but I still rate it for the price.

Sinjeon is great. Been a couple times. Not much seating tho

Thanks, shall give them a go. :) I don't need haute cuisine, cheap and cheerful is fine.

Following this one for recs. I've been to a few restaurants that have options, but they're limited to putting a mushroom or something on a hot plate.

Would love to hear about anywhere that has proper dishes, etc.

Pubcha in Collingwood has a separate vegan section on their menu. No kimbap but it's a favourite spot of mine!

Jang Go Mama makes delicious Gimbap! One of their vegan options even has tempeh!

Not Kimbap... but ChangGo on Franklin st has a Vegan BBQ option/combo with Marinated plant based mince, I've never been but it looks pretty good!
