Kong’s Riceball (공씨네 주먹밥)


This is a chain that specializes in riceballs.  They’re like healthier, tastier, upgraded versions of your average convenience store triangle kimbap.  Depending on the filling, the riceballs range from 1,000-2,500.  They’re roughly the size of a tennis ball.  Eating 2 of them with the complimentary broth should make for a cheap and decently filling lunch.  For an extra 500, you can even add a fried egg or a slice of processed cheese on your riceball.

The plain (1,00) and the jaeyuk kimchi (1,700)

For my first visit I was mulling over the menu and the lady suggested the spam riceball, which is supposed to be one of their popular menu items.  I got it with the fried egg with the yolk still runny.  It was like breakfast in my mouth.  I also tried out the regular with no filling.  It was a tad bland to be eaten alone.  Luckily, I got it with the spicy pork and kimchi, which was a bit more flavorful.

The broth is pretty good and the radishes are pickled in beet juice

The spam (2,000) with a fried egg on top (500). Cut it down the middle to get the yolk all up in there

The interior and presentation here is a bit nicer and cleaner than your average kimbap place.  They also serve ramyeon and udon here and there are various sets that pair a bowl of noodles and a riceball.  If you wanna check it out, visit their website to find the one nearest to you.
