Where is Wystab Diet Gwanghwamun, and what are its hours?

I visited Wystab Diet Gwanghwamun, a go-to solo lunch spot for dieting in Gwanghwamun. Wystab Diet Gwanghwamun is the place to get the best diet food in Gwanghwamun, serving protein boxes, salads, poke and more. You'll find it in the basement of Le Meilleur Jongno Town, right by Exit 1 of Jongak Station.

Wystab Diet Gwanghwamun opens at 10am and closes at 9pm, and it's closed on Saturdays and Sundays, so keep that in mind.

Wystab Diet Gwanghwamun's main menu is all about protein boxes that let you eat a filling salad or poke while dieting! There's a kiosk right at the entrance — order there and head inside.

Solo seats and an open kitchen made for eating alone

Wystab Diet Gwanghwamun, a go-to solo lunch spot in Gwanghwamun, has a fairly spacious interior with fresh, ready-made spots perfect for eating alone. The white-and-orange color scheme feels refreshing, and the seating is arranged so you can comfortably dine solo, with friends, a partner, or in groups.

Every menu item is made fresh in the open kitchen and ready in 3 to 5 minutes,

so we got our takeout right away. Both my daughter and I have been on an evening diet lately,

and I had a feeling these two menu items from Wystab Diet Gwanghwamun would make for a filling, successful diet meal. You get to set your own protein and choose from a variety of combinations — since we're both chicken fans, we went with chicken both times.

Chicken Light Protein Box: 287kcal and 44g protein

My daughter chose the Chicken Light Protein Box, which packs 150g of soft, moist chicken breast for 287kcal and 44g of protein. Steamed chicken breast comes with chickpeas, lettuce, green beans, broccoli, paprika, olives and onion flakes — light but not at all monotonous.

Chicken Cauliflower Rice Protein Box: 303kcal and 45g protein

I ordered the Chicken Cauliflower Rice Protein Box, a low-sugar option. At 303kcal and 45g protein, it's low-carb but uses cauliflower to keep you full — that's what made me choose it for a healthier meal.

Just like the Chicken Light Protein Box, it has the same 150g chicken breast, chickpeas, lettuce, green beans, broccoli, paprika, olives and onion flakes, plus added cauliflower rice. It ate like real rice, and the crunchy texture made the chewing experience satisfying too.

The soft steamed chicken breast paired really well with the sriracha mayo sauce, which was satisfying to eat and filling too — I'd definitely recommend this menu for anyone on a diet.

Why Wystab Diet works for a solo lunch in Gwanghwamun and Jongak

Wystab Diet Gwanghwamun is a lunch spot I'd recommend for solo dining whether you're in Gwanghwamun, Jongak, or Jongno! If you're planning a diet, you can get plenty of protein here — Wystab Diet Gwanghwamun is a satisfying choice.
