Is 29 Tamago Euljiro Branch a good diet lunch?
29 Tamago Euljiro Branch (29타마고 을지로점) is a gimbap (seaweed rice roll) shop in Euljiro 3-ga that sells rice-free keto gimbap and rice paper rolls, so it's a good Euljiro lunch spot for dieters too. I went on a weekday lunch.
I already love gimbap, and 29 Tamago's keto gimbap has no rice, so I thought, perfect, I need to watch myself lately. But the portions are bigger than regular gimbap, so I ended up even fuller than usual, haha.

29 Tamago Euljiro Branch is near Euljiro 3-ga Station, in an area packed with restaurants!! It's in the building with a Mega Coffee. There are stairs to the left of Mega Coffee, and you go up to the 2nd floor.
You can see it clearly from the entrance like this! The signature menu is shown there too: keto tuna, rice paper rolls and more!!
Seating at 29 Tamago Euljiro Branch: good for eating alone?
Once you climb the stairs there are lots of seats inside, so it looks good for solo meals and is fine for groups too. I came alone. Any fellow solo-dining lovers out there? haha

29 Tamago keto gimbap and rice paper roll menu and prices
Keto gimbap at 29 Tamago runs about ₩9,000–12,000, and I picked one keto tuna (₩10,500) and one keto carrot rapé (₩9,000). On the menu board the eggs look so pretty, haha. Plump and round!
I hadn't planned on the keto carrot rapé (shredded carrot salad), but when I saw the finished look of it I picked it on impulse, haha.
The rice paper rolls come in three kinds, basic, tuna and chicken breast, in the ₩12,000 range. I ordered the basic rice paper rolls to eat in the shop, and the keto tuna and keto carrot rapé from earlier to take away. Three rolls in total!! I have a big appetite, so I thought three rolls a day? Easy. I was wrong...
Regular gimbap with rice and Korean snack dishes at 29 Tamago
29 Tamago also has gimbap with rice! There's cheese, fried tofu, spicy fish cake, tuna, Spam and crab stick and more, and I think the spicy fish cake combo would be good.
They also have tteokbokki (spicy rice cakes), udon, buckwheat noodles and jjolmyeon (chewy spicy noodles). The perilla leaf and perilla oil buckwheat noodles would be nice as a side too!
How do 29 Tamago's basic rice paper rolls taste? Pineapple is the kicker
The basic rice paper rolls at 29 Tamago come as 7 pieces, served with udon broth, mayo sauce and pickles. Ta-da!! So neat and pretty.
They're really big!!! Inside are egg, crab stick, vegetables and pineapple, and the pineapple is the kicker. It makes them sweet and fresh, so they go down so easily. Truly a rice paper roll with only the meat missing! The wrapper is chewy too, and it's even better with the mayo sauce.
I already like rice paper rolls, so I enjoyed them a lot. Even eating just these filled me up!! The egg and the other ingredients inside were all fresh, which I liked.
How was 29 Tamago's keto tuna gimbap to go?
The takeaway keto tuna from 29 Tamago is much heavier and more filling than the rice paper rolls. Thanks to the tuna mayo it doesn't even feel like a diet, it's mouth-fillingly good, hahaha. It's just tasty tuna and egg gimbap!! But no rice, so that's a win~~
After finishing the rice paper rolls, I pulled out a few more pieces of keto tuna gimbap. And I got really, really full, haha.
29 Tamago keto carrot rapé gimbap: tough if you dislike carrots
The keto carrot rapé at 29 Tamago is so loaded I wondered how there could be this much carrot rapé, so if you don't like carrots it may be hard, and I recommend it to carrot rapé lovers!! There's really, really a lot of carrot rapé, hahaha. It's tangy and sour, haha.
The carrots in the other gimbap aren't rapé, so I liked their crunchy texture, while the keto carrot rapé is the real, true rapé!!!
What to order at 29 Tamago, and three rolls in one day
To my taste, the two I recommend most at 29 Tamago are the basic rice paper rolls and the keto tuna. When I want something lighter I'd go for the rice paper rolls, and for something heavier I'd have the keto tuna!! haha
I ate a roll and a half at lunch and a roll and a half at dinner, and I was full until bedtime. They look pretty, they're really big, and the eggs are plump and soft and delicious, so if you're looking for tasty, filling keto gimbap, I recommend 29 Tamago. If you're looking for a solo-dining spot near Euljiro 1-ga (Euljiro-ipgu) or Euljiro 3-ga, please check it out too, haha
