Dae Jang Geum Korean Vegetarian Cuisine is on Guangyuan Road in Fengshan, Kaohsiung, near the Ruizu Road intersection. The small Korean vegetarian restaurant was renamed from “Yin Ru Fang.” Its menu centers on kimchi, chili sauce, tofu pots, mixed noodles, and pancakes, while retaining some Chinese vegetarian dishes. There are only a few tables and the process is simple, suiting vegetarian diners who want hot soup, tangy-spicy noodles, or a pancake to share. If your group needs vegan, ovo-vegetarian, or lacto-vegetarian food, confirm each dish before ordering.
● Miso Tofu Pot
The miso tofu pot comes with rice. Ingredients are simple, but the serving does not feel thin, and glass noodles hidden in the pot soak up the broth. Saltiness is moderate while the miso remains clearly present. The noodles become smooth after absorbing soup without turning overly soft. If you want a gentle hot soup with rice, this is the natural starting point.
● Korean Mixed Noodles
The mixed noodles are tied together by a richer, spicy sauce, with six toppings giving different textures around the plate. Once mixed, the noodles are thoroughly coated and the flavor is direct, best for diners already comfortable with heat. A single plate may feel light for a big appetite, so add a snack or share a pancake to balance the main and sides.
● Kimchi Pancake
The kimchi pancake is not very spicy; its tanginess is more noticeable, and it is seasoned enough that extra dipping sauce is not immediately necessary. The surface develops crisp edges while the inside stays soft, with plenty of kimchi and black and white sesame adding nutty aroma. It can be shared as a side for two and also creates a useful texture change between tofu soup and mixed noodles.
● Korean Kimchi Tofu Pot
The Korean kimchi tofu pot comes with rice, filling a small stone pot with plenty of vegetables, soft tofu, and glass noodles in hot kimchi broth. The stone retains heat more strongly than an ordinary pot. The first bites feel moderately spicy, but the heat builds as you keep eating and the vessel stays hot. The glass noodles also have noticeable presence. Because some hot-pot ingredients may have different vegetarian classifications, confirm if this matters to you.
For a gentler soup, choose the miso tofu pot. For tangy heat and the warmth of a stone vessel, choose the Korean kimchi tofu pot. If you handle spice and want a richer mixed staple, go for the Korean mixed noodles. For two people, add a kimchi pancake to share and you can move among smooth glass noodles, sauce-coated noodles, and a crisp-outside-soft-inside pancake.

📌 Editor’s take
Dae Jang Geum uses a small restaurant to draw a clear Korean vegetarian outline. The miso tofu pot is gentle and smooth; the Korean kimchi tofu pot packs vegetables, tender tofu, glass noodles, and gradually building heat into a stone vessel. Korean mixed noodles layer texture through six toppings, while kimchi pancake provides obvious tang, crisp edges, and a soft center for sharing. Tables are limited, and spice levels and vegetarian classification may vary by recipe, so confirming needs before ordering is the safest approach. If you want a Korean vegetarian meal on Guangyuan Road in Fengshan with hot soup, a staple, and something shareable, these dishes can build a complete table.
