Korean dishes have reached the top spot in our list of favorite comfort food. There’s tteokbokki, Korean corndogs, ramyeon, jjajangmyeon, and a whole lot more. Now here’s something that comes in the form of a roll—gimbap!
What makes gimbap extraordinary is that it’s a whole meal in one bite. As far as we can remember from school, we need go, grow, and glow food every day for a balanced diet, and gimbap fulfills all these because there’s rice, meat, and vegetables in it. In SoKor, there are smaller versions of this called mayak gimbap.
Planning to have gimbap today? Here's a list of online stores and restaurants where you can order them from:
1. Annyeong – Kimchi & Kimbap
If you’re looking for handa in time for your next celebration, go for Annyeong – Kimchi & Kimbap and order their Family Tray (P650 for 70 slices), Barkada Tray (P850 for 95 slices), or Party Tray (P1,050 for 120 slices).

8. Samgyupsalon
Why order just gimbap when you can have an entire dosirak (lunchbox)? Samgyupsalon has the single dosirak if you're eating alone (P300), the couple dosirak that you can enjoy with your jagiya (significant other) (P700), the chingu dosirak for the squad (P900), and the family dosirak that you can share with your parents and sibs (P1200)!
