How to order at Waiseutabeu Diet and what the main options are

You order and pay all at once at the kiosk in front of the counter at Waiseutabeu Diet Cheongju Gagyeong Branch. There's a wide range of mains — chicken, beef, salmon, duck, mala, and more.

Even though I visited late in the evening, there were quite a few customers inside, especially a lot of people picking up takeout orders.

For drinks, they have Narangd Cider, Pepsi Zero Sugar, Welch's Zero, sparkling water, and americano! There's also a Naver receipt review event running right now ✨

Inside the shop: bar seats made for solo dining

Here's the interior! Waiseutabeu Diet Cheongju Gagyeong Branch has a good mix of 2-top and 4-top tables, so it's great for solo dining too. I went right before closing, so I got to photograph the whole interior without anyone around.

The bar table has 3-4 chairs, and that's where I sat to eat! So niiice..

A menu board that lists calories, protein, carbs and fat

I really liked being able to check the menu before even walking in! Inside the store, you can also check the nutrition info for each menu item, which I loved 🤤

Best of all, calories, carbs, protein, and fat are all listed — so great for anyone on a diet! (Good for your health too.)

Beef cauli-rice at 14,900 won: how it actually tasted

Beef cauli-rice, ₩14,900. I ordered the beef cauli-rice! The beef has a high protein content and, best of all, it's tender — I loved that most. Even the fact that it's cut into bite-sized pieces was so niiice..

And beyond the beef as the main, there were so many kinds of vegetables — I really liked this part! Places that are just piled with lettuce get boring fast, ugh. Just looking at it, you can tell there's a lot of variety!

How do you choose the sauce?

When I ordered, they gave me a matching sauce automatically. There are so many sauce options too — you can ask for a recommendation, or of course just point to whichever one you want!

The sauce I got tasted kind of like wasabi mayo haha. There was plenty of it too, perfectly matched to the salad portion — so satisfying! Amazing how well it worked out.

And funny story... the fork gripped everything so well(?). I can't count how many times I've struggled with disposable utensils not grabbing food properly during takeout, ugh — but at the Cheongju branch of Waiseutabeu Diet, the fork gripped so well, hoho.

Dipping the broccoli generously into the sauce too! All the vegetables and the sauce went so well together — such a great combo that kept me from getting bored all the way to the last bite!

This mountain of garlic flakes... insanely good.. like, isn't this too delicious..

What does the cauliflower rice base taste like?

Oh, and I chose cauliflower, so it was piled up underneath! Cauliflower looks a bit like rice but it's not rice — it's more like steamed broccoli, finely chopped!

It's low in calories with great nutrition, and it still fills you up — no reason to pass on it, hehe.

Everything that goes into one beef cauli-rice bowl

Oh, and I was surprised to see even green beans in there. Lettuce, paprika, chickpeas, green beans, garlic chips, cauliflower, broccoli, and beef! Just looking at it, the mix is really varied, right?

For anyone who wants to eat well on a diet without getting bored, and stay happy all the way through, I highly recommend this new Cheongju Gagyeong-dong spot, [Waiseutabeu Diet Cheongju Gagyeong Branch]. Everyone, go check it out 🤍❤️💌
