This time I tried wasabi gimbap, Jindo scallion tuna gimbap, and cheese gimbap, and each had such a distinct flavor that ordering all three together never got old. ### Wasabi gimbap The first one I was curious about was the wasabi gimbap. Since it's gimbap with wasabi mixed in, I thought at first the flavor might be too strong, but it actually blended surprisingly well with the other ingredients. The distinctive sharp kick of wasabi gave it a lot more character than regular gimbap, and it was clean and light without any greasy aftertaste. Especially after eating a few rolls in a row, the flavors can start to feel repetitive, but the wasabi gimbap's sharpness worked like a palate refresher in between. If you like wasabi, this is a menu item worth trying at least once. ![Cross-section of the sharp-tasting wasabi gimbap](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyodae-hols-gimbap-three-rolls-takeout/gyodae-hols-gimbap-three-rolls-takeout-15-1uxp1-900.webp) ![A packaged roll of wasabi gimbap](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyodae-hols-gimbap-three-rolls-takeout/gyodae-hols-gimbap-three-rolls-takeout-16-56rda-900.webp) ### Jindo scallion tuna gimbap Next up, Jindo scallion tuna gimbap! Tuna gimbap is such a familiar menu item, but adding scallion here gave it a different feel from the usual version. The savory, mild flavor of the tuna combined with the distinctive aroma and taste of scallion made a combination that worked better than I expected. Fans of tuna gimbap will find this reliably tasty, and it's a good pick if you like tuna gimbap but want to try something a bit different. With all the ingredients packed together, you get several flavors in one bite, which made it a filling option too. ![Cross-section showing the filling of Jindo scallion tuna gimbap](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyodae-hols-gimbap-three-rolls-takeout/gyodae-hols-gimbap-three-rolls-takeout-17-pypi6-900.webp) ![A plate of gimbap made with tuna and scallion](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyodae-hols-gimbap-three-rolls-takeout/gyodae-hols-gimbap-three-rolls-takeout-18-1bpyu-900.webp) ### Cheese gimbap And then there's cheese gimbap, which pretty much everyone likes. Adding cheese naturally brings a savory, soft flavor, and the gimbap-and-cheese combo is hard to mess up. It wasn't overpowering but had a nice savoriness, so it was easy to eat without feeling heavy, and it paired well with other gimbap or Korean snack menu items. Eating it together with tteokbokki in particular, the savory cheese gimbap and the spicy-sweet tteokbokki matched really well. ## Why it's great for takeout This time I got several menu items to go, and gimbap really is a menu item that works well for a quick meal on the go. On busy days, you don't have to wait long for a meal — you can just grab gimbap to go, and ordering several kinds means you get to enjoy a variety of flavors at once, which is another plus. On the other hand, if you have time, you can eat right there in the store, so it seems like a good option whenever you're looking for a simple meal near Gyodae Station. ## Where it is - Halls Gimbap Main Branch (홀스김밥본점) - 90 Seochojungang-ro 22-gil, 1st floor, Unit 101, Seocho-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 서초구 서초중앙로22길 90 1층 101호 - 37.49409, 127.0188004 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%ED%99%80%EC%8A%A4%EA%B9%80%EB%B0%A5%EB%B3%B8%EC%A0%90/@37.49409,127.0188004,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@a-second-look/gyodae-hols-gimbap-three-rolls-takeout/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
