While hunting for a great gimbap place near Gyodae Station, I'd been dying to try Halls Gimbap Main Branch (홀스김밥 본점). It's super famous as a Gyodae Station gimbap spot, apparently? When I visited, there were so many dine-in customers plus takeout and delivery orders that I was shocked! I felt like everyone knew about it except me.. Finally made it to Halls Gimbap Main Branch!!! ## Where is Halls Gimbap Main Branch, and does it have a terrace? Halls Gimbap Main Branch is at 90 Seochojungang-ro 22-gil, Seocho-gu, Seoul, not far from Gyodae Station, and parking is available too. It's already loved by a lot of people, a best-of-the-best spot that everyone knew about except me..!! ![Exterior of Halls Gimbap Main Branch near Gyodae Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyodae-kimbap-tour-top-five-tuna/gyodae-kimbap-tour-top-five-tuna-01-1g311-m-900.webp) I liked that you can also eat outside on the terrace on nice days. Korea is so hot these days that lunchtime is tough, but on a cool evening it's perfect for a romantic little meal of gimbap with tteokbokki (spicy rice cakes) or ramyeon at Halls. ![Outdoor terrace in front of Halls Gimbap Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyodae-kimbap-tour-top-five-tuna/gyodae-kimbap-tour-top-five-tuna-02-1g1a1-m-900.webp) ![Halls Gimbap Main Branch exterior and the area around the terrace](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyodae-kimbap-tour-top-five-tuna/gyodae-kimbap-tour-top-five-tuna-03-13dfh-900.webp) It seems it used to run as a different gimbap shop and recently changed its name to Halls Gimbap! ## Inside Halls Gimbap Main Branch: is it okay for eating alone? ![Tidy interior of Halls Gimbap Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyodae-kimbap-tour-top-five-tuna/gyodae-kimbap-tour-top-five-tuna-04-olnha-900.webp) ![Table seats for solo diners inside Halls Gimbap Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyodae-kimbap-tour-top-five-tuna/gyodae-kimbap-tour-top-five-tuna-05-n2zew-m-900.webp) The inside isn't big, but there are table seats set up for solo diners, so it really lives up to being a Gyodae Station spot for eating alone. It has a warm, comfortable feel that shows how much love it's gotten, and the tidy interior looks perfect for a good meal of gimbap, tteokbokki and ramyeon. ## Menu at Halls Gimbap Main Branch: can you get half-and-half gimbap? ![Gimbap menu and price board at Halls Gimbap Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyodae-kimbap-tour-top-five-tuna/gyodae-kimbap-tour-top-five-tuna-06-2rfza-900.webp) The great thing about Halls Gimbap Main Branch is that half-and-half gimbap is possible! Isn't that amazing? The half-and-half rolls are generous in portion and the price is good too, so it's a combo you can't not order! ## Free katsuobushi broth and name stickers on every menu item ![Ordering and self-service area inside Halls Gimbap Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyodae-kimbap-tour-top-five-tuna/gyodae-kimbap-tour-top-five-tuna-07-1wusb-900.webp) ![Sign for free katsuobushi broth at Halls Gimbap Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyodae-kimbap-tour-top-five-tuna/gyodae-kimbap-tour-top-five-tuna-08-4qppa-900.webp) ![Service area inside Halls Gimbap Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyodae-kimbap-tour-top-five-tuna/gyodae-kimbap-tour-top-five-tuna-09-1wmrj-900.webp) I was amazed that Halls Gimbap Main Branch even offers free katsuobushi (dried bonito flake) broth! I took my order to go so I couldn't have any, but I'll definitely try it next time. ![Takeout bag of gimbap from Halls Gimbap Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyodae-kimbap-tour-top-five-tuna/gyodae-kimbap-tour-top-five-tuna-10-y0lkk-900.webp) ![Takeout containers of Halls gimbap](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyodae-kimbap-tour-top-five-tuna/gyodae-kimbap-tour-top-five-tuna-11-187jh-900.webp) ![Halls gimbap takeout containers with name stickers for each item](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyodae-kimbap-tour-top-five-tuna/gyodae-kimbap-tour-top-five-tuna-12-1gnc2-900.webp) Each takeout roll had a name sticker on it so I wouldn't mix up what I ordered, and I was so touched!!! 🫶🏻♥️♥️ ![Halls gimbap with the takeout container opened](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyodae-kimbap-tour-top-five-tuna/gyodae-kimbap-tour-top-five-tuna-13-1hn8d-900.webp) ## How does it taste to someone who has done a nationwide gimbap tour? Halls Gimbap is easily in my top 5 of all the gimbap I've ever eaten!!!! It was really delicious. I was once so into gimbap that I went on a nationwide gimbap tour, mind you... and it's been ages since I found a truly proper gimbap place!! ![Several kinds of Halls gimbap laid out together](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyodae-kimbap-tour-top-five-tuna/gyodae-kimbap-tour-top-five-tuna-14-1a1dw-900.webp) ![Cross-section of gimbap from Halls Gimbap Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyodae-kimbap-tour-top-five-tuna/gyodae-kimbap-tour-top-five-tuna-15-1fjpm-900.webp) I'd strongly recommend the konjac gimbap at Halls Gimbap Main Branch to anyone on a diet, no question. It was so, so good that I'm going to stop by Halls every single time I come up to Seoul! ![Cross-section of Halls gimbap packed with fillings](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyodae-kimbap-tour-top-five-tuna/gyodae-kimbap-tour-top-five-tuna-16-l2m2n-900.webp) The fillings are really packed, and all the ingredients are fresh and clean. Prices at gimbap shops have gone up so much lately that many places skimp on ingredients, so finding a place like this really touched me! I hear the nurungji (scorched rice) tteokbokki at Halls is good too, and I'm determined to order that next time. ![Halls takeout gimbap set up like a picnic](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyodae-kimbap-tour-top-five-tuna/gyodae-kimbap-tour-top-five-tuna-17-pw8al-900.webp) Packing this up for a picnic would be so romantic, right? Wow, a gimbap shop this good was in Gyodae all along! I should have come sooner when people around me kept recommending Halls!! ![Takeout set of four gimbap from Halls Gimbap Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyodae-kimbap-tour-top-five-tuna/gyodae-kimbap-tour-top-five-tuna-18-v4men-900.webp) ![Four Halls gimbap spread out](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyodae-kimbap-tour-top-five-tuna/gyodae-kimbap-tour-top-five-tuna-19-1rgw0-1200.webp) ![Close-up of a Halls gimbap roll](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyodae-kimbap-tour-top-five-tuna/gyodae-kimbap-tour-top-five-tuna-20-tqsde-900.webp) ![Close-up of a Halls gimbap cross-section](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyodae-kimbap-tour-top-five-tuna/gyodae-kimbap-tour-top-five-tuna-21-14loh-900.webp) ![A piece of Halls gimbap picked up](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyodae-kimbap-tour-top-five-tuna/gyodae-kimbap-tour-top-five-tuna-22-acs29-900.webp) ![Side-by-side comparison photo of the Halls gimbap varieties](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyodae-kimbap-tour-top-five-tuna/gyodae-kimbap-tour-top-five-tuna-23-wh1lm-900.webp) ## Comparing 4 gimbap at Halls Gimbap Main Branch ### Original Halls Gimbap The big plus of the original Halls Gimbap is its clean flavor: the natural taste of each ingredient blends together so well, and it's easy to eat without feeling heavy. ### Spam egg gimbap The Spam egg gimbap combines thick egg omelet strips, the saltiness of Spam and the freshness of cucumber, so it was easy and delicious to eat! ### Cheese whole egg gimbap The cheese whole egg gimbap is defined by the richness of cheese and egg together, and it's full of carrots too, so the texture really shines and everything balances. So tasty! ### My pick: scallion tuna gimbap The scallion tuna gimbap was my pick! It's a newly released menu item and the best tuna gimbap I've ever had. The amount of tuna is totally huge... 🫶🏻🫶🏻♥️ ## Who would I recommend Halls Gimbap Main Branch to? I'd highly recommend this Gyodae Station gimbap spot to anyone looking for a solo meal, and it was great for takeout and delivery too! The variety of gimbap flavors made it even more appealing, and there were plenty of good pairings like nurungji tteokbokki and ramyeon. I recommend you visit Halls Gimbap Main Branch. ![Closing photo of Halls Gimbap Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyodae-kimbap-tour-top-five-tuna/gyodae-kimbap-tour-top-five-tuna-24-1lhlb-900.webp) ## Where it is - Halls Gimbap Main Branch (홀스김밥본점) - 90 Seochojungang-ro 22-gil, Seocho-gu, Seoul, South Korea (1F, Unit 101) - 서울특별시 서초구 서초중앙로22길 90 1층 101호 - 37.49409, 127.0188004 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%ED%99%80%EC%8A%A4%EA%B9%80%EB%B0%A5%EB%B3%B8%EC%A0%90/@37.49409,127.0188004,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@cup-compact-stops/gyodae-kimbap-tour-top-five-tuna/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
