A solo dinner order of the Jindo green onion tuna gimbap and dakgangjeong (Korean sweet fried chicken) set at 12,000 won came with a full roll of 10 pieces rather than a half roll, plus freshly fried chicken. The dakgangjeong at Halls Gimbap Main Branch stayed crisp to the last bite even when eaten slowly, good enough to order on its own next time. ## Good to know - **Order**: Jindo green onion tuna gimbap + dakgangjeong set, 12,000 won - **Set portion**: A full roll (10 pieces) rather than a half roll, plus dakgangjeong - **Rice**: Only hand-rolled gimbap made with black rice - **Main menu**: Gimbap, dakgangjeong, tteokbokki, plus a shelf of cup noodles - **Seating**: Bar table for solo diners, 4-person tables, outdoor terrace seats - **Self-serve bar**: MSG-free bonito (gasuobushi) broth and hot water for cup noodles (broth is dine-in only, no takeout) - **Payment**: Cash and Zero Pay at the counter, card at the kiosk - **Price reference**: ₩12,000 ≈ $8.7 (2026-09-20) *as written by the visitor on Sep 19, 2026* ![Gimbap and dakgangjeong at Halls Gimbap Main Branch near Gyodae Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyodae-gimbap-solo-dinner-dakgangjeong-set/gyodae-gimbap-solo-dinner-dakgangjeong-set-01-11per-899.webp) ## Halls Gimbap Main Branch at Gyodae Station: the former Auto Gimbap Seocho branch under a new name I went to Halls Gimbap Main Branch (홀스김밥본점), a famous gimbap spot near Gyodae Station. Some of you might know it better as Auto Gimbap Seocho branch — apparently the owner, staff, and taste are all exactly the same, they just changed the name from Auto Gimbap to Halls Gimbap! ### What Halls Gimbap Main Branch looks like from outside ![Exterior of Halls Gimbap Main Branch near Gyodae Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyodae-gimbap-solo-dinner-dakgangjeong-set/gyodae-gimbap-solo-dinner-dakgangjeong-set-02-1632c-900.webp) ![Bright exterior of Halls Gimbap Main Branch with a horse character](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyodae-gimbap-solo-dinner-dakgangjeong-set/gyodae-gimbap-solo-dinner-dakgangjeong-set-03-1h2sj-900.webp) It really stood out from a distance thanks to the cute horse character and bright exterior. ![Outdoor terrace seating at Halls Gimbap Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyodae-gimbap-solo-dinner-dakgangjeong-set/gyodae-gimbap-solo-dinner-dakgangjeong-set-04-1cxze-900.webp) They even have outdoor terrace seats, perfect for this kind of weather!! One of the outdoor spots was already taken when I got there haha. ## Solo bar table, self-serve bar and kiosk payment at Halls Gimbap ![Interior bar table and 4-person tables at Halls Gimbap Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyodae-gimbap-solo-dinner-dakgangjeong-set/gyodae-gimbap-solo-dinner-dakgangjeong-set-05-p0omh-900.webp) Inside, this Gyodae gimbap spot has a bar table for solo diners plus 4-person tables, so you can eat well here no matter when or who you're with. I especially liked that the solo bar table was on the taller side, which made eating comfortable. ![Solo bar table seating](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyodae-gimbap-solo-dinner-dakgangjeong-set/gyodae-gimbap-solo-dinner-dakgangjeong-set-06-68xp9-900.webp) At the self-serve bar you can use MSG-free bonito broth and hot water for cup noodles! The bonito broth can't be taken out, dine-in only. ![Self-serve bar with bonito broth and hot water](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyodae-gimbap-solo-dinner-dakgangjeong-set/gyodae-gimbap-solo-dinner-dakgangjeong-set-07-17rb1-900.webp) If you're paying with cash or Zero Pay, pay at the counter; for card payments, everything goes through the kiosk. Each menu item has a photo attached, which made choosing easy haha. ## The menu: gimbap, dakgangjeong and tteokbokki, all gimbap with black rice ![Menu board at Halls Gimbap Main Branch split into gimbap, dakgangjeong, and tteokbokki](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyodae-gimbap-solo-dinner-dakgangjeong-set/gyodae-gimbap-solo-dinner-dakgangjeong-set-08-1hwn8-900.webp) The main menu is split into gimbap, dakgangjeong, and tteokbokki, with a shelf of various cup noodles off to the side — basically everything you think of when you think of Korean snack food, all in one place. What's especially nice is that this Gyodae gimbap spot only sells hand-rolled gimbap made with black rice, which seems great for health and for anyone dieting!! ## Solo dinner order: Jindo green onion tuna gimbap + dakgangjeong set, 12,000 won ![Jindo green onion tuna gimbap and dakgangjeong set served together](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyodae-gimbap-solo-dinner-dakgangjeong-set/gyodae-gimbap-solo-dinner-dakgangjeong-set-09-1joir-1200.webp) I came to Halls Gimbap for a solo dinner and went back and forth on what to order before settling on a set menu. There were quite a few set options too. Jindo green onion tuna gimbap + dakgangjeong set — ₩12,000. ![Freshly fried dakgangjeong at Halls Gimbap Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyodae-gimbap-solo-dinner-dakgangjeong-set/gyodae-gimbap-solo-dinner-dakgangjeong-set-10-vh3bv-900.webp) ### Dakgangjeong that stayed crisp to the last bite Honestly I was expecting the usual soggy, gooey dakgangjeong you often get, but what came out was crispy, freshly fried, and hot. Tasty enough they could rename it Halls Dakgangjeong! Even eating slowly, it stayed crispy the whole way through, which just made me want more 🤤🤤 If I'd known dakgangjeong was this good, I would've just ordered it on its own plus a gimbap,,!! If you love dakgangjeong, I highly recommend getting it as a standalone item! Because it's genuinely delicious. ![Jindo green onion tuna gimbap served as 10 pieces](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyodae-gimbap-solo-dinner-dakgangjeong-set/gyodae-gimbap-solo-dinner-dakgangjeong-set-11-1hjm9-900.webp) ### The Jindo green onion tuna gimbap: a full roll, 10 pieces The Jindo green onion tuna gimbap didn't look like a huge portion in photos, but it turned out to be 10 big, generously packed pieces! Even though it's part of a set, they gave a full roll instead of a half roll. The green onion flavor wasn't overpowering or spicy, and it cut through the tuna's richness nicely — people who usually find tuna gimbap a bit greasy would probably enjoy this. ![Close-up of a crispy piece of dakgangjeong](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyodae-gimbap-solo-dinner-dakgangjeong-set/gyodae-gimbap-solo-dinner-dakgangjeong-set-12-1amwo-900.webp) Warm, soft, and crispy — best dakgangjeong of my life,,,♥︎ Already thinking about it again! ![Closing image from the visit to Halls Gimbap Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyodae-gimbap-solo-dinner-dakgangjeong-set/gyodae-gimbap-solo-dinner-dakgangjeong-set-13-e4fpa-900.webp) ## Where it is - Halls Gimbap Main Branch (홀스김밥본점) - 90 Seocho-jungang-ro22-gil, 1st floor, unit 101, Seocho-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 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/@jangchung-dusk-tray/gyodae-gimbap-solo-dinner-dakgangjeong-set/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
