The shop is closed every Sunday, and weekday last order is listed as 7:00 PM. ## What is the atmosphere like for a quick meal? I went down to the first basement level and found the shop. It had the clean, casual atmosphere of a Korean snack restaurant and seemed suited to ordering quickly and having a simple meal. ![Clean interior of Samhyeongje Gimbap, Sangam branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/samhyungje-gimbap-sangam-takeout/samhyungje-gimbap-sangam-takeout-03-1sdmn-900.webp) I thought it would also work for a quick breakfast or lunch. If I worked at Nuri Dream Square, it seemed convenient to buy takeout and eat it at the office. ## What is on the menu, and how do ordering and takeout work? There were many types of gimbap. The signature menu item was the original fried tofu gimbap, which contains plenty of fried tofu. ![Gimbap menu at Samhyeongje Gimbap, Sangam branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/samhyungje-gimbap-sangam-takeout/samhyungje-gimbap-sangam-takeout-04-i2z4n-900.webp) There was a range to choose from, including basic gimbap, cheese gimbap, and bite-sized mini gimbap. ![Gimbap menu choices at Samhyeongje Gimbap, Sangam branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/samhyungje-gimbap-sangam-takeout/samhyungje-gimbap-sangam-takeout-05-1awhm-900.webp) Orders could be placed at a kiosk, and the shop also sold ramen in addition to gimbap. ![Ordering kiosk at Samhyeongje Gimbap, Sangam branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/samhyungje-gimbap-sangam-takeout/samhyungje-gimbap-sangam-takeout-06-1w9of-900.webp) Gimbap was already prepared on the display counter that day. When I asked for a variety that was not on the counter, they rolled it fresh right away. ![Gimbap prepared on the display counter](https://img.superchart.com/images/samhyungje-gimbap-sangam-takeout/samhyungje-gimbap-sangam-takeout-07-f6yga-900.webp) ![Gimbap display counter at Samhyeongje Gimbap](https://img.superchart.com/images/samhyungje-gimbap-sangam-takeout/samhyungje-gimbap-sangam-takeout-08-1nv2x-900.webp) I packed the gimbap myself and took it with me after paying. ![Packing gimbap at Samhyeongje Gimbap, Sangam branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/samhyungje-gimbap-sangam-takeout/samhyungje-gimbap-sangam-takeout-09-ggxqs-900.webp) ![Packing gimbap at Samhyeongje Gimbap, Sangam branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/samhyungje-gimbap-sangam-takeout/samhyungje-gimbap-sangam-takeout-10-zd0up-900.webp) ## How did the three takeout gimbap varieties differ? I chose original fried tofu gimbap, cheese gimbap, and mini gimbap. Each had a different flavor and texture, so ordering several kinds to share seemed like a good option. ![Three kinds of gimbap packed at Samhyeongje Gimbap](https://img.superchart.com/images/samhyungje-gimbap-sangam-takeout/samhyungje-gimbap-sangam-takeout-11-ivxuf-900.webp) ![Packed original fried tofu, cheese, and mini gimbap](https://img.superchart.com/images/samhyungje-gimbap-sangam-takeout/samhyungje-gimbap-sangam-takeout-12-fdzao-900.webp) ### How was the mini gimbap as a snack? ![Mini gimbap packed at Samhyeongje Gimbap](https://img.superchart.com/images/samhyungje-gimbap-sangam-takeout/samhyungje-gimbap-sangam-takeout-13-1jbio-900.webp) The mini gimbap was small enough to eat easily in one bite. It was not too much alongside other menu items, and I thought it would also work as a simple snack or something to pack for children. ![Bite-sized mini gimbap at Samhyeongje Gimbap](https://img.superchart.com/images/samhyungje-gimbap-sangam-takeout/samhyungje-gimbap-sangam-takeout-14-l8dwe-900.webp) ![Small mini gimbap at Samhyeongje Gimbap](https://img.superchart.com/images/samhyungje-gimbap-sangam-takeout/samhyungje-gimbap-sangam-takeout-15-1t2ev-1200.webp) ### What did the cheese gimbap taste like? Cheese was added to the basic gimbap fillings, making it soft and savory. Its mildly salty flavor came through subtly among the other ingredients. ![Cheese gimbap packed at Samhyeongje Gimbap](https://img.superchart.com/images/samhyungje-gimbap-sangam-takeout/samhyungje-gimbap-sangam-takeout-16-112vr-900.webp) The cheese gimbap had a familiar, satisfying taste. It felt like the gimbap I usually eat with a soft cheese flavor added, so it was easy to enjoy. ![Gimbap with cheese at Samhyeongje Gimbap](https://img.superchart.com/images/samhyungje-gimbap-sangam-takeout/samhyungje-gimbap-sangam-takeout-17-1af7g-900.webp) ![Packed cheese gimbap at Samhyeongje Gimbap](https://img.superchart.com/images/samhyungje-gimbap-sangam-takeout/samhyungje-gimbap-sangam-takeout-18-iwi3b-900.webp) ### Why was the original fried tofu gimbap the most memorable? It was filled generously with sweet and savory fried tofu, giving it a different flavor from regular gimbap. Of the three varieties I ate that day, the fried tofu flavor in the original fried tofu gimbap stayed with me the most. It made a simple but filling meal, and next time I would like to try some of the other varieties. ## Where it is - Samhyeongje Gimbap, Sangam branch (삼형제김밥 상암점) - 396 World Cup buk-ro, Nuri Dream Square, B1, Unit 1029, Mapo-gu, Seoul, South Korea (서울특별시 마포구 월드컵북로 396 누리꿈스퀘어 지하1층 1029호) - 서울특별시 마포구 월드컵북로 396 누리꿈스퀘어 지하1층 1029호 - 37.5793418, 126.889819 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%82%BC%ED%98%95%EC%A0%9C%EA%B9%80%EB%B0%A5%20%EC%83%81%EC%95%94%EC%A0%90/@37.5793418,126.889819,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@weekday-spoon/samhyungje-gimbap-sangam-takeout/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
