What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Oneunjeong Gimbap is highly praised for its unique and delicious gimbap, particularly noted for its signature crunch and perfect rice-to-filling ratio. While many find the taste worth the wait, some reviews mention the taste being similar across different flavors and a bit oily. The popularity leads to significant wait times, making pre-ordering essential for a smooth experience.
"No wonder why this place is so popular their kimbab is really good. I ordered original and tuna kimbab, both are excellent. I like that they add tempura flakes, it have an added crunch to it. The seasoning, the rice to filling ratios was just perfect.
They are really popular so you need to call and order ahead."

"We were one of the 1st customers since hotel was just a few steps away. Ordered everything except tuna. Everyone in the family thought the other gimbal stall was a tat better. The reasons:
1) oneunjeong gimbap had a crunch in all their gimbap. I think this is one their 'secret sauce'
2) the taste is largely similar for all 3 gimbap.
3) oily
3.5 to 4stars. I seriously cannot see myself wait few hours for this.
Takeaway only."
Cheow Mong Chan
"Many people say this is the best kimbap in Jeju—and I can see why! The flavor is unique thanks to the addition of fried tofu inside, which adds an extra layer of taste. I recommend making a reservation in advance if you can, because it gets really busy with lots of people buying. We took ours to the beach and enjoyed it there—it was a really relaxing experience."

Hallyu Stars’ Favorite Restaurants (2) Jeju : VISITKOREA
At first glance, the gimbap here looks ordinary, but fried bean curd is added to give it a good texture and a savory taste. You can get a glimpse of its reputation from the fact that it is full of traces of visits by celebrities such as SUPER JUNIOR’s Shindong. The shop only offers take out, and you must place your order in person, and then return to pick it up at the reserved time.
How To Visit South Korea’s Stunning Jeju Island
I lucked into what I thought was the best place in Seogwipo, Oneunjeong Gimbap — a gimbap restaurant. It looks like a complete dive, so I was dubious until, after placing my order, there was a line out the door. It was so good I tried to go back another night, only to find a 45-minute wait to get my food.
