Gimbap Cheonguk = Gimbap heaven!!! These little restaurants can be spotted all over Korea. They are a great place to find some cheap Korean food. As mentioned in the restaurant's name, gimbap is one of the major things that are offered. However, there's a wide variety of other dishes available. For example (but not limited to), different kinds of bokkeumbap (볶음밥)--fried rice, jiggae (찌개)--stew, dapbap (닾밥)--spicy fried rice, and much more! *See the pictures below that correspond to each type of dish respectively!
These restaurants are generally a bit small and often crowded during typical lunch and dinner times, so seating can be somewhat limited. It might be a good idea to ask for take out and eat it in a park if it's nice or indoors. However, generally earlier or later than rush hours are an ideal time to hit up these Korean restaurants.One downside to Gimbap Cheonguk is the options for those who love Korean food, but are limited in their abilities of reading the Korean language. The menus consist of small pieces of paper with all of the dishes listed in Korean. If you're not the adventurous type, you may want to go there prior to your first eating experience there and ask for a menu. Then, take it to a Korean to ask him/her for the translations of each thing. For the more daring, you may be interested in the "point and select" method! (A grab bag if you prefer!)
Gimbap Cheonguk is a place frequented by many and offers a good variety Korean cuisine for those who are looking for a good, hearty meal on a budget!
