web site excerpts: "Vegetarian meals, presentation of traditional teas, folk and zen music, decor filled with antiques and artifacts - all these elements complement each other providing our guests at HanGawi with a relaxed atmosphere of peace and refuge.
HanGawi's 100% vegetarian menu is based on mountain roots, greens and grains found in the deep valleys and mountains of Korea that have comprised the staple diet of ancient Koreans. From the ancient principles of Korean cuisine, HanGawi has expanded to create a menu that emphasizes health, longevity and wholesome eating.
HanGawi is especially proud to present full course vegetarian meals found in the prix fixe section of our menu that present an opportunity to take an exotic vegetarian adventure. At HanGawi, we ask our guests to remove their shoes because this is the first step towards leaving the outside world and entering "another world".
Enjoy your escape at HanGawi!"

(TENTATIVE LISTING) The above restaurant advertises "vegetarian" poultry and "vegetarian" meat dishes. Thus we have queried the owner by email to determine if all such menu items are in fact vegan mock meats. (Such query is appropriate given the fact that huge numbers of meat restaurants are described as "vegetarian" by virtue of partially vegetarian menus. Their online menu did not seem to have the answer. We hope to hear back from the owner shortly.
