Seocho gimbap restaurant with made-to-order evening takeout: Halls
In short
Halls Gimbap Main Branch is a gimbap (seaweed rice roll) and Korean snack restaurant on Seocho-jungang-ro 22-gil near Gyodae Station in Seocho, Seoul. Even with group takeout and delivery orders arriving nonstop in the evening, the staff split the work and rolled each gimbap to order, so the food arrived quickly: a Jindo Green Onion Tuna Gimbap + Dakgangjeong (crispy fried chicken) set and a Konjac Water-Parsley Gimbap. The tuna-packed set was enough to fill one adult, while the Konjac Water-Parsley Gimbap was an easy, light roll to finish on its own.

Looking for a good gimbap place near Gyodae Station? Today I'm sharing an honest review of Halls Gimbap, a spot that's become a haven for office workers and a go-to every evening for years!
How busy is Halls Gimbap Main Branch near Gyodae Station in the evening?
Come evening, Halls Gimbap Main Branch hits its busiest stretch, with dine-in guests, group takeout orders, and delivery all overlapping. The area near Gyodae is packed with companies, academies, and all kinds of office spaces, so it's always lively once evening rolls around.
The restaurant is always full of people looking for a meal that's light yet properly satisfying.
When I visited in the evening, there were plenty of dine-in customers, but also tons of people picking up bulk gimbap orders on their way home from work. On top of that, the delivery order alarm kept going off nonstop — the whole place felt really lively!
What impressed me was how fast the food came out despite the constant stream of orders. There were a lot of staff on hand and the division of labor was flawless, with gimbap rolled fresh the instant an order came in. No boring waits — I had hot food in my hands in a flash.
What is on the menu at Halls Gimbap Main Branch?
Beyond the basic gimbap, Halls Gimbap Main Branch is packed with dishes that pair perfectly with it, like tteokbokki (spicy rice cakes) and dakgangjeong (crispy fried chicken).
Best of all, the set-menu value is excellent, which makes it a strong pick for solo diners or anyone wanting to sample a bit of everything.
On this visit, here's what I ordered:
- Jindo Green Onion Tuna Gimbap + Dakgangjeong set
- Konjac Water-Parsley Gimbap (added à la carte)
Is the Jindo Green Onion Tuna Gimbap + Dakgangjeong set filling enough for one person?
The Jindo Green Onion Tuna Gimbap + Dakgangjeong set at Halls Gimbap Main Branch gives you a full-size gimbap roll — no shrinking it down — plus dakgangjeong on the side. Usually when you order a set at other snack restaurants, you'd expect a smaller gimbap portion with a side thrown in, right? But Halls Gimbap's set is on a different level!
Generous, full portions: The gimbap comes as a whole, large roll with no size reduction, plus hot dakgangjeong added on top. It's a filling, satisfying meal for one adult.
Sweet, crispy dakgangjeong: Being part of a set doesn't mean the chicken gets shortchanged. It's crispy outside and moist inside, like it was just fried, with a sweet sauce that clings perfectly — it went so well with the gimbap.
Jindo Green Onion Tuna Gimbap bursting with tuna: The real star of this roll was the filling. It's so generously loaded with tuna that the savory flavor filled my mouth from the first bite. The subtle, fragrant aroma of Jindo green onion cut through what could've been a heavy, greasy tuna taste, so I enjoyed every last piece.
Who is the Konjac Water-Parsley Gimbap best for?
The Konjac Water-Parsley Gimbap at Halls Gimbap Main Branch is a light roll suited to people who prefer vegetarian food or who are dieting. A lot of people these days are watching their health or trying to lose weight, right? This konjac water-parsley roll I found at Halls Gimbap is exactly the kind of menu item that feels like rain after a drought for them.
A great pick for vegetarians: Made with clean, light ingredients, it's a great choice for anyone who prefers vegetarian food.
A light meal for dieters: With konjac water-parsley cutting down on carbs, you can finish a whole roll without worrying about calories. The crisp, fragrant pop of the water parsley combined with the konjac made for a great chewing experience too!
Final verdict: Halls Gimbap works for dine-in, takeout and delivery
You could feel the care put into every dish, which left me in a good mood right up to the last bite.
If you're nearby and want a fast, hearty, delicious meal in the middle of a busy day, I highly recommend this Gyodae gimbap favorite, Halls Gimbap. Eating in the restaurant is great, and taking it home on your way from work or ordering delivery works just as well — you won't regret it either way!
