A healthy-meal spot beneath Gwanghwamun Station

Usually, healthy food = tasteless food... but at Wystab Diet Gwanghwamun, you can take care of your health deliciously too.

Exterior and location

The exterior of Wystab Diet Gwanghwamun

Wystab Diet Gwanghwamun is on Basement 1 of Le Meilleur Jongno Town, by Exit 4 of Gwanghwamun Station.

I went after work on a weekday, and it was packed with office workers getting off work~.~

There is an ordering kiosk outside, and it operates without a break time. The hours are a little different from Naver Map...!

Protein boxes, salads, and poke bowls

Wystab Diet Gwanghwamun menu

Wystab Diet Gwanghwamun offers a variety of healthy choices, from protein boxes to salads and poke bowls.

As you would expect from a healthy-food place, you can check the nutrition facts too. Looking at them while I ate, I realized what I ordered was actually pretty high in calories, hohoho.

Choosing the chicken tofu-noodle protein set

There were so many delicious-looking options that I studied the menu well before going and agonized over what to eat for ages....

After a reaaally huge amount of deliberation, this is what I ordered: the protein set [protein box + one side + drink].

For my protein set, I chose chicken + tofu noodles + the store-recommended sauce + Greek yogurt + a big can of green-grape sparkling water.

My beloved tofu noodles (+₩2,000). Whenever I order mala tang, I pile in tofu noodles and fuju (tofu skin) too... that person is me.

Wystab Diet Gwanghwamun’s protein set. It has lots of chicken, with vegetables, bell peppers, chickpeas, olives, and all sorts of other healthy ingredients generously layered underneath. Just looking at it, it looked healthy and delicious.

The store-recommended sauce was spicy sriracha mayo. Sip sip, it was pleasantly spicy—just right for waking up the appetite.

Pour on lots and lots of sauce before eating-

Wait, why did the amount not seem to go down no matter how much I ate...? When I first got it, I thought, ah, this definitely will not fill me up. But it just kept going and going, which I was very happy about hahahahaha. (Because I usually eat two servings of poke...) Can something be healthy and this delicious! It is cheating, cheating.

A thick Greek yogurt side

The Greek yogurt side I ordered (+₩400). Ahhhhh, I really love Greek yogurt, but it is expensive so I do not get to eat it often. Having this thick Greek yogurt made me so happy.

It was loaded with nuts and cereal too. Delicious thing + delicious thing = 😍

Yep... I polished it all off.

One-line verdict for Gwanghwamun office workers eating alone

Do you dislike food that is healthy but tasteless? Then give Wystab Diet a try. You can find a range of dishes that are both tasty and healthy, and there is a solo-dining zone too, so I recommend it as a place for Gwanghwamun office workers to eat alone.

I was so full that I walked toward Gyeongbokgung Station and came across this scene. Wow—I want to do yoga in front of Gwanghwamun too.
