Ttungbo Halmae Gimbap House
📍 중앙동, Tongyeong
This Chungmu gimbap restaurant sits along Haean-ro near Tongyeong Port. The meal is served as three separate plates: small plain seaweed rice rolls with no fillings, spicy seasoned squid, and radish kimchi.
Leaving the fillings out of the gimbap came from the old way of keeping food from spoiling on boats in hot weather. Even now, the same setup remains: rolls made only with rice and seaweed, with the side dishes served separately.
The menu is essentially just Chungmu gimbap, so ordering is simple, and it opens from 6 a.m., making it easy to stop by early. Plenty of customers get takeout as well as eating in.

Frequently asked questions
Why is Chungmu gimbap empty inside?
This style took hold because people kept the side dishes separate to stop gimbap from spoiling on boats in hot weather. That's why it is served with spicy seasoned squid and radish kimchi on the side.
