Gyodae Station gimbap shop for meeting orders: labeled boxes, Halls

What is Halls Gimbap Main Branch near Gyodae Station like?

Halls Gimbap Main Branch (홀스김밥본점) is a gimbap shop near Gyodae Station that sells gimbap (seaweed rice rolls) and dakgangjeong (sweet crispy fried chicken) together. The gimbap is good, but the chicken is surprisingly great, so sometimes it feels like I'm eating chicken with a side of gimbap haha

It's close to Exit 1 of Gyodae Station. It's about a 5-minute walk from Exit 1 (per Naver Map), though to me it felt more like 3 minutes?

Is Halls Gimbap comfortable for eating alone? Seating and atmosphere

There are lots of bar tables, so solo diners around Gyodae can eat comfortably. It has the cozy, cute feel of a classic Korean snack bar.

You can also eat while looking out toward the terrace!

You can eat out on the terrace too! It's not too hot yet, so eating gimbap and chicken outside with a picnic feel haha would taste even better.

Halls Gimbap Main Branch used to be a different gimbap shop, but after some issues it made a fresh start, keeping the same taste, atmosphere and care. The owner, the ladies who roll the gimbap and the staff who make the chicken are all said to be the same as before, and I think that close bond is what makes the gimbap and chicken even tastier.

There's also a very wide range of cup ramen, like at a convenience store, so you can pick one to your taste and have it with your gimbap.

What gimbap is on the menu at Halls Gimbap Main Branch?

There are many more gimbap options than before, like double cheese egg gimbap, konjac minari (water dropwort) gimbap and Jindo scallion tuna gimbap. With so many fresh options unlike the usual chains, it really is a proper gimbap spot in Gyodae.

Is Halls Gimbap takeout good for group orders?

Each Halls gimbap takeout box has a sticker showing which gimbap it is, so you can tell the type without opening it. I got takeout this time and ate at home! I had planned to make it an outing, but one thing led to another and I just ate at home.

Stickers like these are really useful when you order gimbap for a group.

For two people: how many Halls gimbap rolls and what size of chicken?

For two people, I recommend two rolls of Halls gimbap plus a small dakgangjeong! Gimbap alone feels like not enough. Halls gimbap is packed with ingredients, so even one roll feels satisfying, and the fresh ingredients make it taste even better.

Basic Halls gimbap: little rice, lots of vegetables

The basic Halls gimbap is one I've eaten often since before! It has very little rice and a ton of vegetables, so it's good for dieters and for your health, and it's the one I eat most.

Double cheese egg gimbap: nutty cheese with a faint perilla leaf scent

The double cheese egg gimbap was a new challenge this time! It's packed with egg, so you get your protein deliciously. The cheese tastes rich and nutty, with a faint perilla leaf scent too, making a harmonious flavor.

Small Halls dakgangjeong: just right alongside gimbap

And the dakgangjeong, which you can't skip at Halls Gimbap! I ordered the small size of Halls dakgangjeong. It's just right to have alongside gimbap.

A bite of gimbap,

then a piece of chicken!

Halls Gimbap Main Branch hours and when to go

Halls Gimbap Main Branch opens at 8 a.m. and, since it's in an area full of offices, it's closed on Sundays. That makes it great for ordering breakfast at work too!

For office workers and solo diners near Gyodae Station, I absolutely recommend this gimbap shop. It's quick and easy, perfect for a weekday lunch break, and when you have a lunch meeting, ordering Halls gimbap instead of lunch boxes is worth a try! The packaging is neat too, so it's good for group orders.

On a nice day like these, when it's great for an outdoor picnic, grabbing Halls gimbap to take along would be good too!
