Dajeongine Gimbap (다정이네김밥) is a kimbap shop from Seogwipo, Jeju, and its Seogwipo New Town branch is a bright café-style shop with a garden, a tangerine tree display and a kiosk for ordering. We stopped there around noon on Thursday, July 9, 2026, during our family trip to Jeju, bought two Dajeongine rolls and two tuna rolls to take away, and ate them in the car. They were very good, and we could see why the place is popular. The house Dajeongine roll was the better of the two, and we wished we had bought one more.

A kimbap stop in Seogwipo

Kimbap (김밥) is rice and fillings rolled in seaweed, and it is the most common quick meal or road-trip snack in Korea. We were on our way to Soesokkak during our July trip and wanted something quick to eat on the move, so we stopped at the Seogwipo New Town branch on Ieodo-ro, which is a low building with a big “다정이네 김밥” sign and parking in front.

The shop is bigger and brighter than we expected for a kimbap place. There are wooden tables by large windows looking out on a lawn with parasols, a display of a tangerine tree with fruit around its base, and a painted kimbap on the wall. Along one side is a small shop area with snacks, and drinks in a glass fridge.

Ordering at the kiosk

You order at a kiosk, with tabs for kimbap, half-and-half kimbap and mini rolls, sets (two kimbap with ramyeon and tteokbokki), ramyeon, tteokbokki and fish cake soup, and drinks. These were the kimbap prices on the kiosk when we went:

Kimbap	Korean	Price (won)
Dajeongine gimbap (house roll)	다정이네김밥	4,500
Dried anchovy gimbap	멸치김밥	5,500
Anchovy and chili gimbap	멸치고추김밥	5,500
Seasoned dried squid gimbap	진미채김밥	6,500
Tuna gimbap	참치김밥	5,500
Cheese gimbap	치즈김밥	5,000
Bulgogi gimbap	불고기김밥	6,500
Spicy pork gimbap	제육김밥	6,000
Fried shrimp gimbap	새우튀김김밥	6,000
Black pork cutlet gimbap	흑돈까스김밥	6,000
Black pork belly gimbap	흑오겹김밥	7,500
Fried tofu gimbap	유부김밥	5,500

The half-and-half tab lets you get two kinds in one order, half a roll of each: for example Dajeongine and seasoned squid (6,000 won), Dajeongine and anchovy chili (5,500 won), cheese and tuna (6,000 won), anchovy chili and squid (6,500 won), pork cutlet and fried shrimp (6,500 won), or bulgogi and spicy pork (6,500 won). It is a good way to try more flavors if you are only buying a couple of rolls.

Reading the kiosk

The kiosk is in Korean only, but each item has a photo of the cut roll, which helps. A few words that come up again and again:

김밥 (gimbap): kimbap. Every roll on the first tab ends in this word.
멸치 (myeolchi): small dried anchovies, stir-fried and rolled in; 고추 (gochu) means chili.
진미채 (jinmichae): shredded dried squid in a sweet and spicy seasoning.
흑 (heuk): “black”, used here for Jeju black pork, as in 흑돈까스 (black pork cutlet) and 흑오겹 (black pork belly with the skin on).
반반 (banban): half and half. The half-and-half rolls have short names made from the two halves, such as 다진 (Dajeongine + jinmichae) or 치참 (cheese + tuna).
꼬마김밥 (kkoma gimbap): mini rolls, shown on the same tab as the half-and-half rolls.
세트 (set): the set tab combines two kimbap with ramyeon and tteokbokki, which suits a group eating in.
SOLD OUT: items that have run out are marked on the kiosk. When we went, the fried tofu roll was sold out.

Eating it in the car

We took the rolls to go, since we wanted to keep driving rather than sit down. Each came wrapped in foil, uncut, which makes them easy to eat by hand in the car: you peel back the foil and eat from the end.

Eating kimbap in the car

The Dajeongine roll is mostly egg. Cut open, it shows a thick bundle of shredded yellow egg with pickled radish, ham and a few other fillings, in a thin layer of rice. The tuna roll has the same base with a large portion of tuna.

Both were very good, and after eating them we understood why this shop is popular. Of the two, the Dajeongine roll was better: the thick layer of egg was very sweet, and I would say the egg was about 80 percent of why we liked it, and at 4,500 won it is also the cheapest roll on the kiosk. We wished we had bought one more.

Tips

What to order: the Dajeongine roll, and more of them than you think you need.
Takeaway: the rolls come wrapped in foil and uncut, which is handy for eating in the car.
Hours: DiningCode lists 7:30 a.m. to 8 p.m., every day, so it works for breakfast before a day out.
Parking: there is parking in front of the building, and DiningCode lists it as free.

Would we go back?

Yes. If we go back to Jeju, we will stop here again for certain, and next time we would buy more. For 20,000 won, four rolls fed us on the road, and the Dajeongine roll was the one we would go back for. I am giving it 4.5 out of 5.

For every place we ate at on the same trip, see our Jeju food guide for families.
