Seoul Sandwich Hotspots: Top 5 Picks

  • Line up at opening for the baguette sandwiches — Gangnam’s ‘꼼다비뛰드’
  • Try a famed American sandwich in Yeouido — Yeouido’s ‘렌위치’
  • Expect a queue for the meaty sandwiches — Gangnam’s ‘위트앤미트’
  • Generous fillings make the banh mi irresistible — Jamsil’s ‘봉봉샌드위치’
  • A globally known brand joins Seoul’s sandwich scene — Apgujeong’s ‘얼오브샌드위치’

What started as a burger battle has spilled over into sandwiches. Legend says that in 1762 the Earl of Sandwich tucked roast beef between bread so he could keep playing cards without stopping to eat, and ever since, sandwiches have been the perfect quick meal for busy urban life. Here are five of Seoul’s most talked-about sandwich spots right now.

This Gangnam bakery is famous for lines at opening. Their madeleines, financiers and cookies are delightful, but the chewy baguette sandwiches are the real draw. The most popular choice, the “Grill,” layers peppery arugula and melty cheese, finished with a subtle sweet note from bell pepper jam. The “Fig Prosciutto” is a dream—candied figs, creamy ricotta and salty prosciutto find a perfect balance.

Founded by Korean-American Brian Joo and beloved in New York for about 30 years, Renwich opened its first Seoul location earlier this year at IFC Mall in Yeouido. The menu is split into hot sandwiches, cold sandwiches and salads. The signature “Renwich” pairs savory pastrami and corned beef with a bright, crisp coleslaw—simple, satisfying, and exactly what you’d expect from a classic New York deli sandwich.

This spot nails a casual, stateside vibe with its American-style decor and playlist. Their signature “Pastrami Queens” stacks pastrami, cheese, cabbage and pickles, finished with onion jam and mustard. The slight sweetness from the onion jam keeps the sandwich balanced so you can savor that hearty, classic American flavor. Be prepared for a long wait during busy hours.

‘봉봉샌드위치’ makes its sandwiches on house-made baguettes. Their signature banh mi splits a rice-based baguette and piles in meat, pickled veggies and cucumber for a generously filled sandwich. You get contrast in every bite: crisp bread, crunchy vegetables and chewy meat. Choose from pork or chicken fillings.

Global sandwich chain Earl of Sandwich recently opened its first Korean location in Apgujeong. Unlike the lighter, salad-forward sandwiches that are popular here, this spot serves warm, hearty sandwiches with grilled meats and gooey melted cheese. The signature “Earl’s Club” stacks chicken, bacon, Swiss cheese, tomato and romaine. The “Original 1762,” packed with roast beef and cheddar, is also a crowd favorite.
