## In short

Y-Stave Diet Konkuk is a salad and protein box restaurant a 3-4 minute walk from Exit 3 of Konkuk University Station in Gwangjin, Seoul. On a weekend afternoon at 5pm, a solo diner ordered the drink set at the kiosk — chicken with the light base, teriyaki sauce and a Pepsi Zero — and the sous vide chicken stayed moist to the last bite. The chickpeas were a little firm, but Y-Stave Diet Konkuk makes an easy light meal when you want to eat alone near Konkuk.

There are days when eating alone for a late lunch feels tricky — anything too heavy feels like a lot, but just a salad alone feels lacking.

So this weekend, while looking for somewhere light but filling near Konkuk, I ended up at Y-Stave Diet Konkuk (와이스타브 다이어트 건대점)!

## A small shop that makes solo dining near Konkuk easy

I visited around 5pm on a weekend. I stopped by to grab a late lunch alone, and the shop was a small space with about 3 tables and a bar table. It wasn't a big place, but there were seats comfortable enough for eating solo, and besides me there was another person dining alone too. Ordering and eating felt easy and low-pressure, which makes it a good fit for anyone looking for a solo dining spot near Konkuk.

## How ordering works: pick a main and a base at the kiosk

You order at the kiosk in front of the shop. While I waited, I noticed delivery orders kept coming in — it seemed like plenty of people order takeout or delivery, not just dine-in customers!

At Y-Stave Diet Konkuk, you order by combining a main protein — chicken, smoked duck, beef, or salmon — with a base like light (vegetables only), oats, pasta, tofu noodles, or cauliflower rice.

*Menu board*

There was a wide range of options, from light veggie-focused days to days when you want carbs and protein together. Toppings can also be added or removed at the kiosk, which made it easy to order according to your own diet.

## The chicken and light base drink set, and what it costs

What I ordered was the drink set — chicken + light base + teriyaki sauce + Pepsi Zero. I picked chicken as the main and light (just vegetables) as the base, without adding any other options. For the drink I chose Pepsi Zero, and for the sauce I asked the staff and went with teriyaki haha.

After ordering and sitting down, I waited about 5 minutes — it came out much faster than I expected. Since it was a late lunch I was pretty hungry, so not having to wait long was a relief, and the food arrived still warm, as if just cooked.

## How the sous vide chicken and teriyaki sauce tasted

The first thing I noticed after one bite was the chicken's texture. It was warm, soft, and moist, so I barely noticed the usual dryness that chicken breast can have. Apparently the chicken here is processed and cooked using the sous vide method. Usually when I eat chicken breast for a while, it can get dry and a bit tiresome by the end, but this chicken stayed moist all the way through, which made it easy to eat alongside vegetables like lettuce, bell pepper, and olives!

The teriyaki sauce was salty with a mild sweetness that went well with the plain chicken. Rather than pouring the whole thing on, dipping it little by little let me still enjoy the fresh crunch of the vegetables.

### What could be better at Y-Stave Diet Konkuk

That said, the chickpeas in the bowl felt a bit firm to me. If they'd been cooked just a little softer, the texture would have blended more naturally with the other ingredients haha (this is just a personal preference, so take it as a reference).

They're also running a Naver receipt review event, so keep that in mind if you're planning to go!

## Is this light salad meal filling enough?

Since it's the light base, there's no rice or noodles, but the chicken portion was generous and the variety of vegetables was good, so it didn't feel as lacking as I expected. It's a solid option to keep in mind if you're managing your diet or want something fresh instead of greasy food near Konkuk.

The warm, tender chicken paired especially well with the cold vegetables, so it didn't feel like just eating a plain salad. Ordering was quick and there were seats to sit alone, so it was easy to use as a solo dining option on a busy day near Konkuk. If you're looking for somewhere to eat alone near Konkuk University Station, or want to get protein and vegetables in one meal, Y-Stave Diet Konkuk might be worth a visit~!
