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.

Useful tips

  • Takeout orders start at two servings, so if you're alone, it's better to eat in.
  • If you want the soup packed too, tell them when you order.
  • It opens at 6 a.m., making it useful for breakfast before catching an early boat.
  • If the seasoned squid is too spicy, alternate it with the radish kimchi to soften the heat.
  • It's safer to park at the Jungang Market public parking lot and walk over.

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.
