Sin Seomun Gimbap 신서문김밥
Daegu · Jung-gu Old Downtown · Meal
Tucked into the first floor of Zone 5 at Seomun Market, this small gimbap counter fills seaweed rolls with generous vegetables and egg and sells them by the roll to take away. Locals often buy a few to snack on while browsing, so the line moves quickly. It is a handy cheap meal that costs less than a coffee, and it pairs well with market-stall dumplings.
Seating is minimal, so grab your rolls and eat on a nearby bench. Hours can vary, and some days the counter closes after selling out. Expect a bit of a squeeze at peak times.
Take Subway Line 3 to Seomun Market Station and walk about three minutes toward Zone 5. The Zone 2 parking lot is the closest for drivers. (Show a driver: 신서문김밥)
