Keto gimbap 3-roll takeout in Euljiro: 29 Tamago Euljiro Branch

I usually gravitate toward healthy or light meals, so even when I'm watching what I eat I still go looking for something tasty. Gimbap is convenient, but the rice portion is often bigger than I'd like, which can feel heavy on carbs 🥹 Then I heard about a keto gimbap spot that goes light on rice but loads up on veggies and egg, so I had to check it out!✨

This is 29 Tamago Euljiro Branch (29타마고 을지로점) in Euljiro — besides keto gimbap, they also do fresh spring rolls and fusion gimbap, so there's plenty of healthy options that suit my taste perfectly 🤍

How the 3 keto gimbap rolls looked packed to go

This time I ordered three rolls to take out: keto tuna / keto crab stick / vegetable-egg gimbap!

Once I got them packed, the gimbap looked so pretty right from the visuals alone 🥹

They were packed so neatly I felt like I could just take these on a picnic .. 🧡

And they packed sauces to match each roll — soy mayo sauce for the keto tuna and keto crab stick, and wasabi mayo sauce for the vegetable-egg gimbap — so I could dip according to my taste!

Keto tuna gimbap — filling even without rice

First, the keto tuna gimbap I ate at work! As soon as I saw the cross-section, I loved how packed the filling was — carrots, burdock root and other veggies stand in for rice, plus plenty of egg and tuna, giving it a solid protein hit too! Even without rice, the filling was so substantial that it was surprisingly filling 🤍

I ate the keto crab stick gimbap and vegetable-egg gimbap at home

Keto crab stick gimbap — crunchy veggies with a subtle sweetness

Like the keto tuna, the keto crab stick gimbap swaps rice for veggies, egg and plenty of crab stick, so the cross-section was colorful and pretty 🧡 The crunchy veggies paired with crab stick made for a gently sweet, tasty roll!

Vegetable-egg gimbap — spicy fish cake is the highlight

The vegetable-egg gimbap isn't keto — it's a regular roll with rice — but the portion of rice was light, so it was easy to eat without feeling weighed down! Inside were rolled whole egg, carrots, burdock root, cucumber, spicy fish cake and spam, and that spicy fish cake in particular packed more heat than I expected ❤️‍🔥

I'd recommend this one to anyone who likes spicy gimbap like me — it was tasty on its own, but dipping it in the wasabi mayo sauce they provided added a nutty, sharp kick and toned down the fish cake's spice a bit, making it even better haha. Definitely try dipping it in the sauce they include !! 🙂

My verdict eating this as a diet meal

Overall, this is gimbap that cuts back on rice while packing in plenty of veggies and egg, so it should suit anyone like me who enjoys healthy food — 29 Tamago Euljiro Branch! In particular, the keto tuna and keto crab stick were satisfying and filling even without rice, and the regular vegetable-egg roll was light thanks to its modest rice portion too 🙂 If you're looking for a good keto gimbap spot in Euljiro, a place to eat solo, or a healthy meal while dieting, I'd recommend 29 Tamago Euljiro Branch 🤍
