With 150g of chicken breast and seasoned tofu noodles, one plate was filling, and because the food is ready in 3–5 minutes, Wystab Diet Gwanghwamun suits a short solo lunch break. ## Good to know - **Address**: B1 Unit 122-2, 19 Jong-ro, Jongno-gu, Seoul (basement level of the Olive Young building in Pimatgol) - **Location**: Between Jonggak Station Exit 1 and Gwanghwamun Station Exit 4 - **Hours**: Weekdays 10:00–20:40 (last order 20:10) - **Closed**: Every weekend - **Chicken tofu noodle protein box**: ₩10,900 - **Greek yogurt**: ₩3,900 - **Pumpkin soup**: ₩3,500 - **Pepsi Zero**: ₩2,000 - **Ordering**: Order and pay at the kiosk outside the shop; dine-in and takeout available - **Facilities**: Separate men's and women's restrooms; free parking (according to the writer) - **Recommended sauces**: Teriyaki, sriracha - **Price reference**: ₩10,900 ≈ $8.2 · ₩3,900 ≈ $2.9 · ₩3,500 ≈ $2.6 (2026-10-21) *as written by the visitor on Oct 20, 2026* ![Main photo of Wystab Diet Gwanghwamun](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-chicken-tofu-noodle-sriracha-lunch/jonggak-chicken-tofu-noodle-sriracha-lunch-01-13j8s-1200.webp) Today's stop is Wystab Diet Gwanghwamun, a great solo-lunch salad spot in Gwanghwamun! I had enjoyed it recently, so after my morning shift I came back for lunch near Jonggak Station. It's right by Jonggak and Gwanghwamun, so it's perfect for a lunch near the office, the shop is clean, and the menu works well for eating alone. Highly recommended~ ## Wystab Diet Gwanghwamun location and opening hours Wystab Diet Gwanghwamun is at 19 Jong-ro, B1 Unit 122-2, Jongno-gu, Seoul. It's open weekdays 10:00–20:40 (last order 20:10) and closed every weekend. - Address: 19 Jong-ro, B1 Unit 122-2, Jongno-gu, Seoul - Hours: weekdays 10:00–20:40 - Last order: 20:10 - Closed: every weekend ![Exterior of Wystab Diet Gwanghwamun](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-chicken-tofu-noodle-sriracha-lunch/jonggak-chicken-tofu-noodle-sriracha-lunch-02-8xdpp-900.webp) The shop is on the basement level of the Olive Young building in Pimatgol, between Exit 1 of Jonggak Station and Exit 4 of Gwanghwamun Station, so it's super easy to reach for office workers nearby at lunchtime haha. Big glass windows let you see the tidy interior, and the orange accents on the exterior make it stand out! - Separate men's and women's restrooms - Free parking available ![Entrance of Wystab Gwanghwamun and the kiosk outside](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-chicken-tofu-noodle-sriracha-lunch/jonggak-chicken-tofu-noodle-sriracha-lunch-03-tx048-900.webp) ## How do you order at Wystab Gwanghwamun? The kiosk for ordering and paying is outside the shop, so you can pay and wait even before you walk in. Both dine-in and takeout are available haha ![Menu standing sign at Wystab Gwanghwamun](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-chicken-tofu-noodle-sriracha-lunch/jonggak-chicken-tofu-noodle-sriracha-lunch-04-3mjql-900.webp) ![Wystab protein box menu board](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-chicken-tofu-noodle-sriracha-lunch/jonggak-chicken-tofu-noodle-sriracha-lunch-05-18eer-900.webp) ![Wystab menu guide by protein topping](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-chicken-tofu-noodle-sriracha-lunch/jonggak-chicken-tofu-noodle-sriracha-lunch-06-6dhjt-900.webp) ![Menu and price guide at Wystab Gwanghwamun](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-chicken-tofu-noodle-sriracha-lunch/jonggak-chicken-tofu-noodle-sriracha-lunch-07-1w02m-900.webp) ## Wystab protein box menu Wystab's protein boxes come in five main types by protein topping: chicken, smoked duck, beef and salmon, plus a mala (numbing-spicy) version. A big standing sign lists every menu by type with price ranges, so it's handy to check from outside! Beyond that, there's a light version with just vegetables and protein, and you can pick pasta, oats, tofu noodles or cauliflower rice for more variety. ![Review event notice at Wystab Gwanghwamun](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-chicken-tofu-noodle-sriracha-lunch/jonggak-chicken-tofu-noodle-sriracha-lunch-08-1lyq2-900.webp) ![Nutrition facts for Wystab protein boxes](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-chicken-tofu-noodle-sriracha-lunch/jonggak-chicken-tofu-noodle-sriracha-lunch-09-nwezc-900.webp) If you join the review event, you get a cold drink as a freebie, so I think it's worth doing if you want one! (You have to post it with a photo of your food haha) ### Why I chose tofu noodles over pasta The nutrition facts for the protein boxes are posted on the wall, so if you're on a diet you can choose by calories. I was torn between pasta and tofu noodles too, and I went with tofu noodles after checking the calories haha ![Interior of Wystab Diet Gwanghwamun](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-chicken-tofu-noodle-sriracha-lunch/jonggak-chicken-tofu-noodle-sriracha-lunch-10-1d19v-900.webp) The inside of the Gwanghwamun shop is bright and clean, and it's kept spotless. Some of you will order delivery or takeout, but having eaten in person, I think you can order with peace of mind if it's kept this well haha ![Clean seating area at Wystab Gwanghwamun](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-chicken-tofu-noodle-sriracha-lunch/jonggak-chicken-tofu-noodle-sriracha-lunch-11-1by89-900.webp) ![Inside view of Wystab Gwanghwamun](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-chicken-tofu-noodle-sriracha-lunch/jonggak-chicken-tofu-noodle-sriracha-lunch-12-q023a-900.webp) ## What I ordered and the prices - Chicken tofu noodle protein box ₩10,900 - Greek yogurt ₩3,900 - Pumpkin soup ₩3,500 - Pepsi Zero ₩2,000 ![Chicken tofu noodle protein box with side dishes on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-chicken-tofu-noodle-sriracha-lunch/jonggak-chicken-tofu-noodle-sriracha-lunch-13-bxxk7-900.webp) ## Is the chicken tofu noodle protein box still good the second time? I'd had the chicken and tofu noodle combo before and loved it, so I ordered it again! Every menu at Wystab Gwanghwamun is ready within 3–5 minutes of ordering, which is great for a quick bite on a short lunch break haha ![Wystab chicken tofu noodle protein box](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-chicken-tofu-noodle-sriracha-lunch/jonggak-chicken-tofu-noodle-sriracha-lunch-14-u8jpd-900.webp) ![Chicken tofu noodle protein box topped with 150g chicken breast](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-chicken-tofu-noodle-sriracha-lunch/jonggak-chicken-tofu-noodle-sriracha-lunch-15-17jki-900.webp) There's a full 150g of chicken breast, so this one plate alone leaves you properly full, and the chicken was really good. ![Chicken tofu noodle protein box with sriracha sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-chicken-tofu-noodle-sriracha-lunch/jonggak-chicken-tofu-noodle-sriracha-lunch-16-1scjf-900.webp) ### Recommended sauces: teriyaki vs sriracha I took the recommended sauce, and the chicken tofu noodle protein box comes with two choices: teriyaki and sriracha. I wanted a little heat, so I chose sriracha, and it was mildly spicy with a savory depth that paired nicely with the chicken~ ![Chicken tofu noodle protein box full of tofu noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-chicken-tofu-noodle-sriracha-lunch/jonggak-chicken-tofu-noodle-sriracha-lunch-17-1gybh-900.webp) This chicken tofu noodle protein box is packed with tofu noodles..! The noodles themselves are seasoned, so you don't need to dip much sauce and it's still flavorful. ![Seasoned tofu noodles with fresh vegetable toppings](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-chicken-tofu-noodle-sriracha-lunch/jonggak-chicken-tofu-noodle-sriracha-lunch-18-zstz6-900.webp) The vegetables include chickpeas, lettuce, green beans, broccoli, bell pepper, olives and onion flakes, and none were wilted or mushy; everything was fresh and crunchy haha ![Protein box vegetables including chickpeas and broccoli](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-chicken-tofu-noodle-sriracha-lunch/jonggak-chicken-tofu-noodle-sriracha-lunch-19-1m2ps-900.webp) ## Pumpkin soup and Greek yogurt on the side ### Pumpkin soup ₩3,500 Wystab's pumpkin soup is something I've been getting hooked on lately 😆 I kept thinking, why did I only try something this good now? It's sweet and addictive! ![Warm pumpkin soup at Wystab](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-chicken-tofu-noodle-sriracha-lunch/jonggak-chicken-tofu-noodle-sriracha-lunch-20-1ibm4-900.webp) The pumpkin soup comes piping hot, and with the weather getting colder, it's nice to order one and warm up. It goes down easily thanks to the sweetness, and the portion is really big, so I think it works as a snack too! ![Greek yogurt topped with blueberries and cereal](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-chicken-tofu-noodle-sriracha-lunch/jonggak-chicken-tofu-noodle-sriracha-lunch-21-xf81x-900.webp) ![Wystab Greek yogurt side dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-chicken-tofu-noodle-sriracha-lunch/jonggak-chicken-tofu-noodle-sriracha-lunch-22-1ymj6-900.webp) ### Greek yogurt ₩3,900 Wystab's Greek yogurt is a light side of thick Greek yogurt with blueberries, cereal and fructo-oligosaccharide syrup. The portion is surprisingly big and it's a nice palate cleanser, so I recommend ordering it with a salad~ That was Wystab Diet Gwanghwamun, a solo-lunch salad spot in Gwanghwamun and a go-to for Jonggak Station office workers 🥬 ## Where it is - Wystab Diet Gwanghwamun (와이스타브 다이어트 광화문점) - 19 Jong-ro, B1 Unit 122-2, Jongno-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 종로구 종로 19 지하1층 122-2호 - 37.5708344, 126.9798606 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%99%80%EC%9D%B4%EC%8A%A4%ED%83%80%EB%B8%8C%20%EB%8B%A4%EC%9D%B4%EC%96%B4%ED%8A%B8%20%EA%B4%91%ED%99%94%EB%AC%B8%EC%A0%90/@37.5708344,126.9798606,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@kitchen-queue/jonggak-chicken-tofu-noodle-sriracha-lunch/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
