Korean convenience stores (GS25, CU, 7-Eleven) are a foodie’s paradise, open 24/7 and packed with quick, tasty, and surprisingly affordable meals. Here’s what you should try on your next visit:

🍱 Lunch Boxes (Dosirak)
Convenience store lunch boxes are legendary! Options like bulgogi rice bowls, spicy pork with kimchi, or fried chicken with rice are filling and cost only around ₩4,000–₩6,000. Perfect for a quick and satisfying meal.

🍢 Hot Snacks
Try fish cakes (어묵), spicy tteokbokki (떡볶이), and fried snacks sold near the counter. They’re hot, fresh, and a great late-night treat.

🍙 Onigiri & Kimbap
Triangle kimbap (삼각김밥) is a classic grab-and-go snack. Popular flavors include tuna mayo, spicy bulgogi, and kimchi. Pair it with instant ramyeon for the ultimate combo.

🍦 Ice Cream & Desserts
Korean convenience stores have an amazing ice cream section! Look for classics like Melona (melon bar), Samanco (fish-shaped ice cream), or bungeoppang-style red bean ice cream.

🥤 Drinks & Collab Items
Don’t miss limited-edition drinks, K-pop collaboration snacks, and seasonal treats. You can even grab ready-to-drink coffee, banana milk, or flavored soju for a taste of local favorites.

With so many choices, visiting a Korean convenience store is almost a cultural experience—cheap, fun, and delicious!
