Today my boyfriend and I were on our way back from the dermatologist and got really hungry — something heavy felt like too much, so we stopped by Y-Stave Konkuk for poke or salad!

For the protein rice bowl, the protein options are chicken, smoked duck, or beef, and you can choose regular or spicy.
The protein pasta-tang I was really curious about! They said it's like an American-style chicken soup — next time I'll definitely try the protein pasta-tang haha
There are sets too! Protein box + side + drink set haha
Each table also had nutrition info for each protein box haha There's currently a receipt review event running, so if you're getting a drink with your meal, I'd really recommend joining in ✨
What we ordered and what it cost
- Protein box ₩9,900 (chicken, oat rice, spicy teriyaki sauce)
- Protein box ₩12,900 (beef, pasta, teriyaki sauce)
This is what we ordered!
Chicken protein box with oat rice and spicy teriyaki, 9,900 won
The chicken protein box was 9,900 won, base was oat rice, and sauce was spicy teriyaki.
This is the protein box I ordered! At the bottom there's oat rice, a variety of vegetables, and chicken — a really solid combo!
Look closely at the chicken — it's not dry at all, really tender, and the outside was grilled to a nice golden brown. So good..😋
If you look closely, it's well seasoned so there's no gamey taste at all haha
I got the spicy teriyaki sauce, and dipping into it was so satisfying! Spicy teriyaki doesn't seem spicy at first but it builds up haha 🌶️🌶️🌶️
There was broccoli among the vegetables too! It's oddly hard to find broccoli in a salad, but this place packs it in generously!
The oat rice was also chewy with a nice pop! That signature popping texture of oats — totally my favorite 💛
By the end I just mixed everything together haha Chicken is a super recommended protein pick ✨
Beef protein box with pasta and teriyaki, 12,900 won
The beef protein box was 12,900 won, and we ordered it with pasta as the base and teriyaki as the sauce.
The visuals were insane..⭐️ We added pasta as the base for the beef protein box!
Look at how much beef there is! The steak was seriously the real deal(?)
Seeing them side by side makes them look even more delicious haha If you're going with someone, I'd really recommend ordering different ones and swapping proteins with each other
The steak was pretty thick with a good chewy bite! This too was perfectly seasoned, so it wasn't gamey — just the right balance haha
Dipping it into the teriyaki sauce was so satisfying..✨
We ordered the beef with pasta, and eating beef dipped in teriyaki sauce together with the pasta was truly delicious!
Once you're done, just return the tray to the counter and you're all set!
Is Y-Stave Diet Konkuk worth it for a healthy meal near Konkuk Station?
We stopped by Y-Stave Diet Konkuk while looking for a good salad restaurant near Konkuk, and I loved that even though it's salad or poke, the protein box makes it filling with extra protein ✨ You get to choose the main ingredient, like chicken or beef, and pair it however you like with oat rice, pasta, and more — so it's a great pick for anyone tired of eating the same diet meal every time.
