29 Tamago Euljiro Branch

If you're looking for a diet-friendly, healthy meal in Euljiro, I recommend 29 Tamago, which sells keto gimbap (seaweed rice rolls)! I took out the rice paper roll and the keto roll, and I'll walk you through the location and my takeout review~

One downside: unlike other diet-meal shops, the menu has no nutrition facts, so I couldn't know the exact numbers.

Where is 29 Tamago Euljiro Branch?

29 Tamago Euljiro Branch is less than a 5-minute walk from Euljiro Station. It's close to the nearby office district too, so I think it'd suit dieting office workers in Euljiro.

The shop is on the 2nd floor, so parking is difficult~ Also note the break time is 3 PM to 5 PM~

Interior and seating at 29 Tamago Euljiro Branch

Inside there are a bar table and regular tables, and it was quite spacious!

The blue-green view through the big window looks perfect for zoning out.

There's even a restroom inside, so it seems very convenient for dine-in guests as well as takeout. Health food places usually feel like chains or takeout-only, but 29 Tamago's interior has real Euljiro character.

There are disposable cups and a water purifier too.

A receipt review event is also running!

29 Tamago gimbap menu, pressed juices and how to order

The menu has three main groups: keto gimbap, fusion gimbap and side dishes. True to the name (tamago means egg), most rolls have a big helping of egg. Dine-in guests order at a kiosk, and takeout customers can also pick up through a Naver order!

They have detox juice too!

They also sell other drinks and, surprisingly, alcohol...! Is gimbap as a drinking snack a trend that everyone knows about except me?

How long does takeout take at 29 Tamago?

I went to 29 Tamago Euljiro Branch, ordered takeout and got it in about 10 minutes! They roll the gimbap as soon as you order, so it was piping hot!

Recommended at 29 Tamago: three gimbap rolls to go

I took out three rolls: the rice paper roll, the tuna keto roll and the veggie egg roll!

Rice paper roll (salad gimbap) ₩12,000

Because of the rice paper, the rice paper roll came in an individual container like this. The bag was huge as a result.

The rice paper roll has vegetables, egg and crab sticks. I thought there'd be pickled radish, but it was pineapple, so it was sweet and sour and something new!

The ssamjang (seasoned soybean paste) sauce they gave tasted more like salty miso than ssamjang. It wasn't a chili sauce, so that was new too. The rice paper is fairly thick, so it's healthy but I suspect it has some calories..!

Keto tuna gimbap (low sugar) ₩10,500

The keto tuna gimbap is said to be 29 Tamago's best seller! You can tell at a glance it's a protein bomb.

It's basically half tuna, half egg, right? haha The roll was so big that I cut it up to eat. Since I'm dieting I figured 3 or 4 pieces would fill me up, but it was so good I kept eating.

The keto gimbap sauce is soy mayo! It's salty and brings out the savory flavor, though it was so tasty I didn't even need to dip.

Look at the size of the end piece. Rolling gimbap like this is a real skill, honestly... Small eaters could buy one keto tuna roll and split it into two meals.

Veggie whole-egg gimbap ₩9,500

The veggie whole-egg gimbap sticks to the basics and is good value.

They gave me wasabi mayo sauce and I wondered why, but it turns out the roll has spicy fried tofu inside by default! It tasted true to the basics, and it seemed to have 2 or 3 eggs in it, so the fullness lasted a very long time!

+ Personally, Mom's and my shared top pick was the rice paper roll!

Is 29 Tamago Euljiro Branch okay for a diet meal?

29 Tamago's gimbap is packed with egg for protein, and above all the rolls are really big, so even one roll makes a solid meal. The shop is clean and the seating is roomy, so it's fine for eating in as well as takeout.

Just remember that keto gimbap isn't automatically low-calorie, so if you're dieting, check the sauces and fillings too! If you're tired of the same salad in Euljiro, or want a filling but different kind of healthy food, give the keto gimbap at 29 Tamago Euljiro Branch a try~
