I took home Halls Gimbap, egg gimbap, and crispy sweet-and-spicy chicken after work, and the chicken stayed wonderfully crunchy. Verdict: a perfect pickup combo for solo dinner or a Han River date. ## Good to know - **Location**: Near Exit 1 of Gyodae Station - **Ordered**: Halls Gimbap, egg gimbap, and crispy sweet-and-spicy chicken - **Chicken**: Korean refrigerated chicken thigh meat - **Also available**: Tteokbokki and cup noodles - **Seating**: Cozy window seats and small stools *as written by the visitor on Sep 11, 2026* Introducing a restaurant I’ve visited for the nth time⭐️ On my way home after work on a weekday evening, the weather was so nice that I looked up at the sky—and it was seriously gorgeous between the street trees. ![Evening sky seen between street trees on the way home from work](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyodae-holskimbap-crispy-dakgangjeong/gyodae-holskimbap-crispy-dakgangjeong-01-1br2n-748.webp) These are my footsteps heading straight to my favorite gimbap place in the whole world: Halls Gimbap Main Branch (홀스김밥본점). ## What is the atmosphere like at Halls Gimbap near Gyodae Station? This place is near Exit 1 of Gyodae Station, and I think I’ve been here about four times. Every time, I literally clap like a seal. If it isn’t good, I’ll refund you. I’m staking my YouTuber life on it (????). For real. ![Exterior of Halls Gimbap near Gyodae Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyodae-holskimbap-crispy-dakgangjeong/gyodae-holskimbap-crispy-dakgangjeong-02-13e6k-742.webp) When you walk inside, there’s this cozy window seat. The vibe makes it easy to come alone and have a meal, too. ![Cozy window seating at Halls Gimbap](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyodae-holskimbap-crispy-dakgangjeong/gyodae-holskimbap-crispy-dakgangjeong-03-7l88t-750.webp) I sat on a little stool, took a breather, and looked over the menu one more time to decide what to eat. But what else would it be? The thing I always get! Haha. And that is... ## The Halls Gimbap and crispy chicken combo ![Halls Gimbap menu introduction](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyodae-holskimbap-crispy-dakgangjeong/gyodae-holskimbap-crispy-dakgangjeong-04-e7oze-762.webp) Halls Gimbap, egg gimbap, and crispy sweet-and-spicy chicken🎉 The chicken is even made with Korean refrigerated chicken thigh meat, so it is seriously insanely good—and honestly, this chicken is top tier ㅠ Anyway, this is truly their popular-menu combo. ![Halls Gimbap, egg gimbap, and crispy sweet-and-spicy chicken combo](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyodae-holskimbap-crispy-dakgangjeong/gyodae-holskimbap-crispy-dakgangjeong-05-1j3v2-752.webp) They also sell tteokbokki (spicy rice cakes), and look at the ingredient origins. All Korean-grown..⭐️ ![Korean ingredient-origin notice and tteokbokki menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyodae-holskimbap-crispy-dakgangjeong/gyodae-holskimbap-crispy-dakgangjeong-06-ykyti-754.webp) Actually, this place used to have a different name, but it recently changed to Halls Gimbap. I read the notice posted in the store, and there was a reason for it. ![Notice explaining the change to Halls Gimbap](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyodae-holskimbap-crispy-dakgangjeong/gyodae-holskimbap-crispy-dakgangjeong-07-1ev82-726.webp) They had run the original place for six years and apparently moved for those reasons. They say the name has changed but the taste is the same, so I’m going to keep coming here with a supportive heart. I took another close look at the menu, too. The Halls Gimbap and wasabi gimbap set really caught my eye. ![Menu board for the Halls Gimbap and wasabi gimbap set](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyodae-holskimbap-crispy-dakgangjeong/gyodae-holskimbap-crispy-dakgangjeong-08-md7ct-768.webp) It’s the same menu board, but I photographed it once more. It looks like lots of people order two kinds of gimbap, too. While waiting, I checked out the cup-noodle display beside me. There were so many varieties that it was fun just to look at. ![Display of many varieties of cup noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyodae-holskimbap-crispy-dakgangjeong/gyodae-holskimbap-crispy-dakgangjeong-09-vaduy-770.webp) This time, I decided to take out just gimbap and crispy chicken, then waited quietly at my seat. The Baemin delivery-order sound kept going off nonstop, so yep, I fully acknowledge this is a wildly popular spot. ![Waiting for a takeout order inside Halls Gimbap](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyodae-holskimbap-crispy-dakgangjeong/gyodae-holskimbap-crispy-dakgangjeong-10-vzo86-1200.webp) I even took a quick selfie while I waited. The moment I got home, I opened the boxes right away. The “Warning: Extremely delicious” line on the chicken box was seriously not a lie. ![Crispy chicken takeout box marked “Warning: Extremely delicious”](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyodae-holskimbap-crispy-dakgangjeong/gyodae-holskimbap-crispy-dakgangjeong-11-1skau-734.webp) ## Crispy chicken that stayed crunchy after takeout I’m seriously putting my YouTube honor on the line here: the crispy chicken is ridiculously good. It’s true. Even after taking it home, the crunch was totally still there. The owner fries it fresh every time, so even when it cools down, it doesn’t get soggy—it keeps that extra-crunchy texture. Not merely crispy, extra crunchy! ![Halls Gimbap crispy chicken still crunchy after takeout](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyodae-holskimbap-crispy-dakgangjeong/gyodae-holskimbap-crispy-dakgangjeong-12-1xq79-734.webp) Time for a close-up of the gimbap cross-section. I cut one roll and looked inside, and the egg and carrot were so prettily colorful. Can you see how generously it is filled? ![Gimbap cross-section with egg and carrot](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyodae-holskimbap-crispy-dakgangjeong/gyodae-holskimbap-crispy-dakgangjeong-13-19pnj-742.webp) I spread out the two boxes full of gimbap and crispy chicken all at once. Just looking at this spread had me drooling already. ![Takeout meal of gimbap and crispy chicken laid out together](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyodae-holskimbap-crispy-dakgangjeong/gyodae-holskimbap-crispy-dakgangjeong-14-vmdfo-752.webp) I held up just the crispy chicken and took one more photo. See that glossy shine? This is seriously my lifetime favorite crispy chicken. Picking this up for a Han River date would be so, so nice ㅜㅜㅜ ![Glossy crispy sweet-and-spicy chicken held in a hand](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyodae-holskimbap-crispy-dakgangjeong/gyodae-holskimbap-crispy-dakgangjeong-15-7m35z-758.webp) No, it’s just too delicious ㅜㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ It tastes moving, so anyone reading this post, go there right now. Finally, I cooked cup noodles too and set out gimbap and crispy chicken together for a full meal. This combo was the perfect dinner. ![Dinner spread of cup noodles, gimbap, and crispy chicken](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyodae-holskimbap-crispy-dakgangjeong/gyodae-holskimbap-crispy-dakgangjeong-16-1v820-764.webp) ## A place I want to keep supporting Both owners are always so kind, and it’s the kind of place that warms my heart every time I visit. They went through a difficult period, but seeing them greet customers with smiles makes me root for them without even realizing it. (Owners, I really hope you thrive!) I plan to keep coming back, so if you’re passing nearby, please stop in at least once. You absolutely won’t regret it. ## Where it is - Halls Gimbap Main Branch (홀스김밥본점) (홀스김밥본점) - 101, 1F, 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/@morning-menu-pages/gyodae-holskimbap-crispy-dakgangjeong/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
