Is the inside of Eat Sandwich Cheomdan Hospital branch spacious?

This was the biggest, roomiest and cleanest of all the sandwich places I've visited! I really loved how spacious and pleasant it is.🤩

There are lots of tables, so even a group can sit comfortably, though it looked like more people use 📦 takeout and 🚐 delivery than eat in.

Inside there's a 💧 self-bar (filtered water, wet wipes), and when you visit you can order easily at the kiosk.

How do the tteokgalbi and crab cream sandwiches at Eat Sandwich taste?

I ordered a thick tteokgalbi sandwich (₩7,500) and a crab cream sandwich (₩6,500).

You can pick milk bread or rye bread for the sandwiches, and I went with rye! They're packed with 🥬 fresh vegetables, like a big stuffed sandwich, so even one looked filling.

Crab cream sandwich (₩6,500)

The 🦀 crab cream sandwich has lettuce + red cabbage + tomato + special cream + ranch sauce + cheese. It's loaded with the special crab cream, and it didn't taste like cheap imitation crab; the tangy ranch sauce kept it from feeling greasy.

Tteokgalbi sandwich (₩7,500)

The 🍗 tteokgalbi sandwich has lettuce + red cabbage + tomato + tteokgalbi + cheese. The patty is reeeally thick and warm, and the sweet-and-salty flavor tasted like a bulgogi burger.

Eat Sandwich Cheomdan Hospital branch is full of fresh vegetables and has a wide variety of menu items, so I think I'll be going often! If you're after a simple, hearty meal, I recommend it.
