Mapo · Yeonnam-dong / Made-to-order gimbap counter
올바른김밥
A small gimbap counter in Yeonnam-dong that rolls each order when you ask rather than keeping trays ready. Alongside the standard rolls it makes low-carb versions that replace most of the rice with egg and vegetables. Almost everyone eats alone or takes the rolls away.
