Halls Gimbap has been running at this spot for 8 years — staying beloved in one location for that long isn't easy, which says a lot about the hand-made gimbap skills here, arguably beyond craftsman level.

Any place with gimbap needs ramyeon too, right? They had a huge variety of ramyeon here too haha. No wonder this is such a popular Gyodae gimbap restaurant for solo diners..!

Tuna gimbap and konjac water-parsley gimbap with dakgangjeong: how it tasted

This time I ordered the tuna gimbap and konjac minari gimbap with the dakgangjeong set at Halls Gimbap Main Branch.

Seasoned dakgangjeong at Halls Gimbap

Just look at that dakgangjeong.. so tender..👍😌 Being the seasoned version, the sauce and flavor were bound to please everyone regardless of taste. The pieces weren't small either, and the meat quality was really tender — so good. Now I fully understand why the only main menus here are gimbap and dakgangjeong. Halls Gimbap could easily pass as a dedicated dakgangjeong restaurant too✔️

Konjac minari (water parsley) gimbap

Konjac minari (water dropwort) gimbap — not something you can easily find elsewhere! It's a hard-to-come-by gimbap option, and I ordered it because konjac and minari sounded good for the body. The taste exceeded expectations too, and it just felt healthy! haha

A distinctive gimbap flavor — highly recommend this one if you're packing gimbap to take to your parents!

Tuna gimbap

Tuna gimbap — what more can I say, it's always delicious haha. It's my favorite type of gimbap, and here the seasoning wasn't overly salty, which I actually found more satisfying. The rice portion was small and the vegetables were plentiful, making it feel even more like healthy, well-being food.

Final bites of tuna gimbap and dakgangjeong

This one was so good I think I'll sometimes crave just the dakgangjeong on its own :)
