Hello. Today’s new 7-Eleven lunchbox is a chef collaboration item: the Hudeokjuk Jjamppong Pork Stir-Fry Chinese-Style Lunchbox. It is the first chef collab menu 7-Eleven has released in 2026. Moreover, among the many new items, it is still the only full set-style lunchbox so far.

It is a simple combo. It pairs spicy, Chinese-style sauce pork stir-fry with savory, soy sauce-based roast chicken. That said, the flavor is fairly bold. So, some people will probably really like it. Now, let’s take a closer look at what it’s like.

Hello. Today’s new Seven-Eleven lunch box I’m introducing is the Giun Hansang Lunch Box, released as a 2026 Lunar New Year holiday special.

Originally, I planned to try several new convenience store items before the holiday and review them all. However, due to various circumstances, I ended up getting this one after the holiday. So, I’m writing this review a bit late.

Still, I’m posting it for the record. Some Seven-Eleven stores are still selling their holiday lunch boxes. So, if you get the chance, it might be worth trying.

Now, let’s take a quick look at what this menu is like.

GS25 Hyeja Hansanggadeuk 11-Side Dosirak Review [Korean Food]

다찬 도시락 구성 변화

Hello, this is Paco. Today’s new lunchbox menu from GS25 is the Hyeja Hearty Full-Table Lunchbox. It first launched as the main item in the 2024 “Full-Table” series. Then, in 2025, it was simply renamed as a Hyeja Lunchbox. In early 2026, it was revamped once again.

Even now, it remains a popular pick. That is thanks to its fairly generous lineup and solid value for the portion size. I still grab it from time to time when I want a filling convenience-store meal. So, let’s take a look at what’s inside.

Hello. Today I’m introducing two new CU convenience foods that were suddenly released as part of a Snoopy collaboration. They are the Snoopy American Double Burger and the Snoopy Scoopable Pepperoni. They say these items keep a classic American style while adding Snoopy’s charm. I bought and tried both. For convenience store ready-to-eat food, the quality felt quite good. Now, let’s take a closer look at what they’re like.

Hello. Today I’m introducing one of GS25’s new items from its collaboration with Chef Edward Lee: Chef Edward Lee’s BBQ Ribs & Galbi Hamburg Steak Lunchbox. This collaboration is said to add Chef Edward Lee’s signature American-style taste and aroma, which you don’t usually find in typical convenience store lunchboxes. Because of that, the pairing of a hamburg steak and BBQ ribs can feel a bit unfamiliar. Still, the overall flavor was solid. Now, let’s take a closer look at what this lunchbox is like.
