I had the Eolkeun-i Gochu gimbap for lunch; it was mildly pungent rather than intensely spicy and pleasantly thick, though the small table beside the walkway felt exposed. ## Good to know - **Location**: B1, Zone A, Unit 1029, Nuritkum Square, 396 World Cup buk-ro, Mapo-gu, Seoul, South Korea - **Access**: In the Nuritkum Square building directly in front of MBC, 785 m from Exit 1 of Susaek Station - **Hours listed in the original post**: Mon–Fri 7:00 AM–8:00 PM (last order 7:00 PM); Sat 8:00 AM–3:00 PM (last order 2:00 PM); closed every Sunday - **How it works**: A takeout-focused shop: pay at the kiosk, then place the pre-packed gimbap and chopsticks in a plastic bag yourself - **Menu**: 12 kinds of gimbap, tteokbokki, cup noodles, and drinks - **What I tried**: Eolkeun-i Gochu gimbap - **Seating**: A small table beside the walkway was available during my visit *as written by the visitor on Sep 3, 2026* While looking for somewhere to have lunch alone in Sangam, I went to Samhyeongje Gimbap, Sangam branch (삼형제김밥 상암점). It is a takeout-focused shop in the basement of Nuritkum Square, directly in front of MBC. I chose the Eolkeun-i Gochu gimbap and ate it at a small table beside the shop. ## How do you find the shop in Nuritkum Square? The address is Unit 1029, B1, Nuritkum Square, 396 World Cup buk-ro, Mapo-gu, Seoul, South Korea. It is listed as 785 m from Exit 1 of Susaek Station. I took the outdoor escalator down to the basement. After coming down, I found a standing signboard and a building directory map nearby. Samhyeongje Gimbap is in Zone A. As you head toward the Digital Pavilion and R&D Tower, the shop appears on the left. ## What kinds of gimbap are available, and how does takeout work? There were 12 kinds of gimbap when I visited: Original, Cheese, Crab Stick Salad, Wasabi Tuna, Tuna, Eolkeun-i Gochu, Assorted, Kimchi Tuna, Spicy Fish Cake, Ham and Crab Stick, Kimchi, and Mini Gimbap. I paid directly at the kiosk. The gimbap was pre-packed, so after paying, I simply put the gimbap and chopsticks into one of the plastic bags provided. They also sold tteokbokki (spicy rice cakes), cup noodles, and drinks in addition to gimbap. ## How spicy and thick is the Eolkeun-i Gochu gimbap? Because I like Cheongyang chili peppers, I chose the Eolkeun-i Gochu gimbap. I was also curious about the Spicy Fish Cake and Yubu gimbap, but it had two spicy-level markers. I went with the Eolkeun-i Gochu gimbap, which had one. To me, it was more pungent than spicy. I think it would suit people who enjoy the flavor of Cheongyang chili peppers. I was pleased with how thick the gimbap was. Looking inside, I could see pieces of pepper in the filling. ## Is there somewhere to eat alone without taking it out? I had originally planned to take it to my company's break area. But there was a small table beside the shop, so I ate there instead. It is along a walkway where people pass by, which may feel a little exposed, but I was planning to eat quickly and return, so I ate comfortably while looking at my phone. From what I saw, most customers took their food out. I felt it would be useful for picking up lunch or a simple dinner from a nearby office. There was a good variety of gimbap, so I might choose something different next time. In the original post, I gave both taste and price 4 out of 5, and friendliness and the variety of gimbap options 5 out of 5 each. I rated the atmosphere and interior 2 out of 5. I was satisfied with the gimbap's flavor and thickness, but the space for staying to eat was a drawback. ## What are the opening hours and closing day? The hours listed when the original post was written were 7:00 AM to 8:00 PM on weekdays, with last orders at 7:00 PM. On Saturdays, the listed hours were 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM, with last orders at 2:00 PM. It was listed as closed every Sunday. ## Where it is - Samhyeongje Gimbap, Sangam branch (삼형제김밥 상암점) - Unit 1029, B1, Nuritkum Square, 396 World Cup buk-ro, Mapo-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 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/@when-hunger-calls-3/sambros-sangam-takeout-gimbap/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
