Diet lunch spot in Gwanghwamun: extra-beef oat protein box, Wystab

When you're hunting for lunch near Jonggak Station, tasty matters, but sometimes you just need a healthy, filling, easy meal, right? And if you're dieting or managing your meals around workouts, picking lunch out is secretly really hard (T_T)

Today's place is Wystab Diet Gwanghwamun, which I'd recommend for a Jonggak Station lunch! I had the Beef Oat Protein Box with extra beef, and I loved how generous the portion of meat was ><

Where is Wystab Diet Gwanghwamun?

Wystab Diet Gwanghwamun is on the B1 level of the Le Meilleur Jongno Town shopping arcade, between Gwanghwamun Station and Jonggak Station. Go in through the building entrance and ride the escalator down, and it's just left of the Indian curry restaurant, so it's easy to find.

Wystab Diet sits in the Le Meilleur Jongno Town arcade between Gwanghwamun and Jonggak stations! Enter through the building entrance,

then take the escalator down to B1, and the shop is right to the left of the Indian curry restaurant, so it's an easy spot to find!!

(Le Meilleur Jongno Town is almost a maze once you go deeper inside.. so shops right by the entrance like this are easier to find, haha)

In front of the entrance there's a menu panel and a kiosk, so you can comfortably order first and then go in!

Atmosphere and seating at Wystab Gwanghwamun

Inside, the interior has orange accents and a cute, charming feel 🧡 There are several tables, so it's also good for eating in,

and the table layout looked like it would be a big hit with office workers looking for a solo lunch spot in Gwanghwamun, haha

How do you join the Wystab Gwanghwamun review event?

At Wystab Diet Gwanghwamun, they were running a review event: get a receipt, leave a review, and receive one free drink.

If you're eating alone, one dish plus one drink would make a perfect set, haha

What's on the Wystab Diet menu?

You can glance at the Wystab Diet menu on the electronic board hanging from the ceiling inside, or see it in detail on the kiosk! There are more options than you'd expect.

Built around proteins like chicken, beef, salmon and smoked duck, you can choose from various protein boxes: a Light Box with salad only, an oat rice base, a tofu noodle base and more, and you can add toppings to taste!

That day I added a beef topping to the Beef Oat Protein Box, which has an oat rice base with steak as the main topping.

A protein bomb meal, hahaha

How much beef do you get when you add it to the Beef Oat Protein Box?

With the beef topping added to the Beef Oat Protein Box, the portion was so generous that beef filled one whole side of the container. I took it out from Wystab Diet Gwanghwamun and ate at home.

I got the meal packed to go and enjoyed it at home. It was packed carefully, so it was easy to carry, haha

If you work around Gwanghwamun or Jonggak Station, this looks like a popular takeout lunch pick too!

Today's order, with the beef topping added: the amount of meat is really generous, right? Hahaha

Beef dipped in teriyaki sauce

Dip the tender, soft-chewing beef in the teriyaki sauce and the sweet-salty combo just goes down so easily, doesn't it!

Beef filled one side of the container, so it looked filling just by sight, and when I actually ate it, there was a huge amount, hahaha

Oat rice and vegetables

The oat rice was spread wide beneath the meat, along with a variety of vegetables like broccoli, chickpeas, black olives and bell peppers. You're not just eating a pile of meat but getting vegetables alongside, so the textures are rich and it feels like looking after your health too 🍀

If you want a healthy lunch near Gwanghwamun and Jonggak Station, how about Wystab Diet, where you get a hearty dose of protein instead of just a light salad?!
