Top tips

  • Expect gently seasoned dishes without garlic or onion; temple cuisine here is milder than many Korean meals.

  • Choose a set menu to sample several temple dishes, then consider adding tofu steak or dumpling soup if you want a more substantial meal.
  • Try the lotus-leaf rice, often praised for its aroma and distinctive presentation.
  • Good to know: Summer visits can be very hot inside because reviewers report there’s no air conditioning.

About

Maji serves Korean Buddhist temple cuisine in a traditional hanok, with set meals featuring lotus-leaf rice, banchan, burdock japchae and seasonal dishes. The owner often explains each course in English, and reviewers recommend booking ahead; expect mild seasoning and smaller tasting-style portions rather than bold, spicy flavors.
