You can get a little picnic feeling, even if only for a moment. ## Solo-friendly seating and the self-service area Inside, there are seats: two tables for four in the middle and a long bar table along the side. Lots of people were eating alone, so I recommend it as a perfect spot for solo dining around Gyodae. ![Interior with tables for four and bar seating](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyodae-horse-gimbap-dakgangjeong/gyodae-horse-gimbap-dakgangjeong-02-10hqz-900.webp) If you eat in, there is katsuo-bushi (bonito flake) broth too. It is even made with no added seasonings, so if you are dining in, enjoy it with a warm bowl of broth, haha. There is hot water for anyone having cup ramen, too! After all, ramen is gimbap's perfect partner. ![Self-service area for bonito flake broth and hot water](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyodae-horse-gimbap-dakgangjeong/gyodae-horse-gimbap-dakgangjeong-03-sp87h-900.webp) There is a tray-return station, so just leave everything there when you are done. I went at dinnertime, and there were lots of customers! Plenty of people were having a simple dinner, and there were seriously so many delivery orders too, so I could tell this is a popular Gyodae Station spot. ![Tray-return station inside the shop](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyodae-horse-gimbap-dakgangjeong/gyodae-horse-gimbap-dakgangjeong-04-nwc29-900.webp) Halls Gimbap Main Branch used to be Ot Gimbap Seocho. I heard it is now starting fresh under its new name. The flavor, care, cooking tools, and even the staff are all the same as before, so keep that in mind when you visit! ## Halls Gimbap Main Branch menu and order ![Halls Gimbap Main Branch gimbap menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyodae-horse-gimbap-dakgangjeong/gyodae-horse-gimbap-dakgangjeong-05-1dp9x-900.webp) ![Halls Gimbap Main Branch gimbap menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyodae-horse-gimbap-dakgangjeong/gyodae-horse-gimbap-dakgangjeong-06-mgsg4-900.webp) ![Halls Gimbap Main Branch gimbap menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyodae-horse-gimbap-dakgangjeong/gyodae-horse-gimbap-dakgangjeong-07-13fha-900.webp) ![Halls Gimbap Main Branch gimbap menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyodae-horse-gimbap-dakgangjeong/gyodae-horse-gimbap-dakgangjeong-08-1m2zl-900.webp) ![Halls Gimbap Main Branch gimbap menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyodae-horse-gimbap-dakgangjeong/gyodae-horse-gimbap-dakgangjeong-09-iih34-900.webp) ![Halls Gimbap Main Branch gimbap menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyodae-horse-gimbap-dakgangjeong/gyodae-horse-gimbap-dakgangjeong-10-ukvlv-900.webp) As a gimbap specialist, it had so many kinds of gimbap. I chose by appearance, but they all looked so delicious that I had a hard time deciding what to get!! They also have chicken gangjeong (Korean sweet-and-crispy fried chicken), and apparently it is a must-try here. I could not just pass it by, so I ordered both gimbap and chicken gangjeong. ![Ordered gimbap and chicken gangjeong](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyodae-horse-gimbap-dakgangjeong/gyodae-horse-gimbap-dakgangjeong-11-x9tcc-900.webp) ![Display of cup ramen and drinks](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyodae-horse-gimbap-dakgangjeong/gyodae-horse-gimbap-dakgangjeong-12-1381g-900.webp) There is also a wide selection of cup ramen and drinks.

I love gimbap with less rice, and the rice here was thin, exactly my style ♥️ ![Gimbap made with a thin layer of rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyodae-horse-gimbap-dakgangjeong/gyodae-horse-gimbap-dakgangjeong-15-dpic0-900.webp) ![A full meal of gimbap and chicken gangjeong](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyodae-horse-gimbap-dakgangjeong/gyodae-horse-gimbap-dakgangjeong-16-13ldi-900.webp) ### Jindo green onion tuna gimbap The Jindo green onion tuna gimbap has moist tuna mayo wrapped in green onion! The texture and flavor of the green onion were such a great kick. I worried it might be spicy, but it had just the right amount of green onion, so I enjoyed it. ![Jindo green onion tuna gimbap ingredients](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyodae-horse-gimbap-dakgangjeong/gyodae-horse-gimbap-dakgangjeong-17-1d9lg-900.webp) ![Gimbap with green onion and tuna mayo](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyodae-horse-gimbap-dakgangjeong/gyodae-horse-gimbap-dakgangjeong-18-93fko-900.webp) ### Spam gimbap The Spam gimbap had savory-salty Spam, egg, and cucumber, and the combination of all three was so good. But it has lots of cucumber, so I would not recommend it if you dislike cucumber! I like cucumber, so I loved it. ![Spam, egg, and cucumber gimbap](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyodae-horse-gimbap-dakgangjeong/gyodae-horse-gimbap-dakgangjeong-19-pk1ih-900.webp) ![Spam gimbap with cucumber](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyodae-horse-gimbap-dakgangjeong/gyodae-horse-gimbap-dakgangjeong-20-ysfaz-900.webp) ### Double cheese egg gimbap The double cheese egg gimbap has nutty cheddar cheese. Soft egg with salty cheese—it tastes exactly as delicious as you would imagine! ![Gimbap with cheddar cheese and egg](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyodae-horse-gimbap-dakgangjeong/gyodae-horse-gimbap-dakgangjeong-21-1cdda-900.webp) The cheese gimbap also came with a dipping sauce, which made it even better. ![Cheese gimbap served with sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyodae-horse-gimbap-dakgangjeong/gyodae-horse-gimbap-dakgangjeong-22-i4h8l-900.webp) ![Cheese gimbap with dipping sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyodae-horse-gimbap-dakgangjeong/gyodae-horse-gimbap-dakgangjeong-23-1lbet-900.webp) ### Halls chicken gangjeong I really hope you try the Halls chicken gangjeong! It was so crispy, with spicy Cheongyang peppers on top, and seriously delicious. It would not be an exaggeration to call this a chicken gangjeong hotspot 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 I think it would be even tastier eaten hot. Highly recommend the chicken gangjeong! ![Halls chicken gangjeong topped with Cheongyang peppers](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyodae-horse-gimbap-dakgangjeong/gyodae-horse-gimbap-dakgangjeong-24-1qmmn-1200.webp) I tried gimbap and chicken gangjeong at Halls Gimbap, and I recommend it to anyone looking for a gimbap shop near Gyodae Station! ## Where it is - Halls Gimbap Main Branch (홀스김밥본점) (홀스김밥본점) - 1F, #101, 90 Seochojungang-ro 22-gil, 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/@lantern-lunch-seoul/gyodae-horse-gimbap-dakgangjeong/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
