Wystab Diet Gwanghwamun is in the basement level of the Le Meilleur building (르메이에르빌딩), between Gwanghwamun Station and Jonggak Station. The address is 19 Jong-ro, B1 Unit 122-2, Jongno-gu, Seoul, South Korea. ![Wystab Diet shop in the basement of a Gwanghwamun building](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-chicken-salad-tofu-noodle-takeout/jonggak-chicken-salad-tofu-noodle-takeout-02-lojie-900.webp) ![Entrance of Wystab Diet Gwanghwamun](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-chicken-salad-tofu-noodle-takeout/jonggak-chicken-salad-tofu-noodle-takeout-03-15e9j-900.webp) ![Area around the entrance of Wystab Diet Gwanghwamun](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-chicken-salad-tofu-noodle-takeout/jonggak-chicken-salad-tofu-noodle-takeout-04-15ch4-900.webp) ![Exterior of Wystab Diet Gwanghwamun](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-chicken-salad-tofu-noodle-takeout/jonggak-chicken-salad-tofu-noodle-takeout-05-1viae-900.webp) ![Kiosk by the entrance of Wystab Diet Gwanghwamun](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-chicken-salad-tofu-noodle-takeout/jonggak-chicken-salad-tofu-noodle-takeout-06-qvghp-900.webp) ## How do you build a bowl at Wystab Diet? There's a kiosk at the shop entrance, so you can see right away what kinds of salad they sell. There's a protein pastang (pasta soup) listed as an American-style chicken soup menu, and I'm curious what it tastes like every single time, but I still haven't tried it, so I missed out again this time haha. ![Wystab kiosk screen showing salad menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-chicken-salad-tofu-noodle-takeout/jonggak-chicken-salad-tofu-noodle-takeout-07-1mlo1-900.webp) ![Wystab kiosk menu layout guide](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-chicken-salad-tofu-noodle-takeout/jonggak-chicken-salad-tofu-noodle-takeout-08-flur3-900.webp) There are five bases in total: salad only, oat rice, whole wheat pasta, tofu noodles and cauliflower rice. The main toppings are chicken, beef, smoked duck and salmon, so you can order to your taste. There's also a mala (numbing-spicy) seasoned base, which seems great for people who love mala food but are on a diet. - Base: salad only / oat rice / whole wheat pasta / tofu noodles / cauliflower rice - Main topping: chicken / beef / smoked duck / salmon - Mala seasoned base available ![Wystab base and topping options](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-chicken-salad-tofu-noodle-takeout/jonggak-chicken-salad-tofu-noodle-takeout-09-1lmmc-900.webp) ![Wystab Diet menu guide](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-chicken-salad-tofu-noodle-takeout/jonggak-chicken-salad-tofu-noodle-takeout-10-9sn5w-900.webp) An easy-to-read menu board hangs at the back of the shop, so you can check it before ordering at the kiosk. ![Menu board inside Wystab Gwanghwamun](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-chicken-salad-tofu-noodle-takeout/jonggak-chicken-salad-tofu-noodle-takeout-11-1kxgm-900.webp) ![Seating inside Wystab Gwanghwamun](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-chicken-salad-tofu-noodle-takeout/jonggak-chicken-salad-tofu-noodle-takeout-12-1rqcc-900.webp) ## Is Wystab Diet Gwanghwamun good for eating alone? The shop isn't big, but it has several seats for eating in, which makes it a good solo lunch in Gwanghwamun. The mood isn't awkward for eating alone at all, and I'd guess many office workers come here for a solo lunch. Wystab also runs a prepaid system, so if you work nearby, it seems handy to prepay and visit often. Detailed nutrition and calorie notices are posted too. ## What was the Wystab Diet salad takeout like? This time I packed up two Wystab Diet salads and headed home, hehe. I thought about eating in the shop but ate at home instead, and wherever you eat, the salad is fresh and the main topping is generous, so it tasted great haha. ![Two takeout Wystab salads](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-chicken-salad-tofu-noodle-takeout/jonggak-chicken-salad-tofu-noodle-takeout-13-r7611-900.webp) ![Wystab Diet salad takeout container](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-chicken-salad-tofu-noodle-takeout/jonggak-chicken-salad-tofu-noodle-takeout-14-9nl7k-900.webp) The container is sealed tightly with an orange sticker bearing the Wystab Diet logo, so nothing leaked on the way home. Nice. ![Wystab salad sealed with an orange logo sticker](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-chicken-salad-tofu-noodle-takeout/jonggak-chicken-salad-tofu-noodle-takeout-15-1svsp-1200.webp) ![Wystab takeout salad with a sealing sticker](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-chicken-salad-tofu-noodle-takeout/jonggak-chicken-salad-tofu-noodle-takeout-16-p4vv9-900.webp) ## Chicken salad two ways: no base vs tofu noodles Both salads have chicken as the main topping. One is salad only with no base, and the other uses tofu noodles as the base. ### Chicken salad with no base The Wystab chicken salad ordered with no base comes piled with tender chicken breast. It's loaded with vegetables like lettuce, bean sprouts, broccoli, chickpeas and bell peppers. ### Chicken salad on tofu noodles The chicken salad with a tofu noodle base also has plenty of olives, so good! The tofu noodles have a soft texture, totally recommend haha. ![Wystab chicken salad topped with chicken breast](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-chicken-salad-tofu-noodle-takeout/jonggak-chicken-salad-tofu-noodle-takeout-17-12xfq-900.webp) ![Wystab chicken salad on a tofu noodle base](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-chicken-salad-tofu-noodle-takeout/jonggak-chicken-salad-tofu-noodle-takeout-18-mvwb0-900.webp) ## Which Wystab Diet sauce is best: spicy teriyaki or yuzu? I picked two sauces this time: spicy teriyaki and yuzu. The spicy teriyaki sauce has really great savory depth, so it's perfect for enjoying flavor even while on a diet. ![Wystab spicy teriyaki sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-chicken-salad-tofu-noodle-takeout/jonggak-chicken-salad-tofu-noodle-takeout-19-3gvmp-900.webp) ![Chicken salad with spicy teriyaki sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-chicken-salad-tofu-noodle-takeout/jonggak-chicken-salad-tofu-noodle-takeout-20-xbw3j-900.webp) The fresh yuzu sauce is like yuzu cheong (citron marmalade) with the sweetness taken out, leaving all the tang, and it went really well with the salad. ![Wystab yuzu sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-chicken-salad-tofu-noodle-takeout/jonggak-chicken-salad-tofu-noodle-takeout-21-bcj64-900.webp) ![Chicken salad eaten with yuzu sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-chicken-salad-tofu-noodle-takeout/jonggak-chicken-salad-tofu-noodle-takeout-22-qe12w-900.webp) Wystab Diet Gwanghwamun is a Jonggak Station lunch spot with generous contents that make for a filling meal. ![Generously filled Wystab tofu noodle salad](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-chicken-salad-tofu-noodle-takeout/jonggak-chicken-salad-tofu-noodle-takeout-23-wr117-900.webp) The tofu noodles weren't stiff but soft, and the texture was really appealing. It's a solo salad spot in Gwanghwamun where you can get both health and flavor. ![A Wystab chicken salad meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/jonggak-chicken-salad-tofu-noodle-takeout/jonggak-chicken-salad-tofu-noodle-takeout-24-j4lf7-900.webp) Next time I visit, I'll order a different kind of salad and have a healthy meal again!!! ## Wystab Diet Gwanghwamun opening hours - Address: 19 Jong-ro, B1 Unit 122-2, Jongno-gu, Seoul - Hours: weekdays 10:00-20:40 - Closed on weekends ## 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/@menu-light-visits/jonggak-chicken-salad-tofu-noodle-takeout/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
