GS25 Super Mario Omurice Dosirak Review [Korean Food]

Today’s GS25 “Dosirak of the Month” review is the May Super Mario collaboration: the GS25 Super Mario Mushroom Cream Omurice & Tonkatsu. This is already the fifth installment in our monthly dosirak series! May in Korea usually means Family Month and Children’s Day, so a carnation-themed dosirak seemed like the obvious pick — but instead GS25 went with a Super Mario Galaxy movie tie-in. At 6,300 won, it comes with a Super Mario keycap gift included, which is great news for collectors. And with May 5th being Children’s Day in Korea, the timing feels very intentional. Let’s get into it.

GS25 Super Mario Dosirak Price: 6,300 Won

May in Korea? Most people would say it’s Family Month — Children’s Day on May 5, Parents’ Day on May 8. But 2026 is also the month Super Mario Galaxy opens in theaters. GS25 locked in a Super Mario collab for its “Dosirak of the Month” lineup, and this one comes with a keycap freebie attached — 13 different designs, enough to run Esc through F12. Price: 6,300 won.

The price isn’t purely about the freebie, though. GS25 previously released an omurice dosirak, and this time added mushroom cream sauce and tonkatsu to build a much more substantial package. The result: 467 g total, 798 kcal, sodium at 111% of the daily recommended value. Considering the keycap is bundled in, the calorie-to-price and weight-to-price ratios look quite solid.

Since this is an omurice-format dosirak, a plastic spoon is included as standard. Also worth noting: an NH NongHyup card gets you 50% off — make the most of it.

Not a dedicated keycap collector, but a Super Mario fan — so I opened mine to find Luigi. Now I need to get Mario to complete the pair.

What’s Inside the Super Mario Omurice Dosirak?

A quick look at the contents. The container shape is noticeably unusual — flip it over and it’s mushroom-shaped, styled after Toad from Super Mario (or maybe just a mushroom). Either way, the packaging clearly has the Super Mario theme baked in all the way to the container design. The omurice sauce sits in a separate cup in the middle of the box.

The centerpiece of this dosirak is the omurice. The egg layer isn’t from whole eggs — it’s made using liquid egg whites and similar products to create a thin egg sheet. On top of that: tonkatsu, sausage, Hamburg steak.

You might be wondering where the mushroom cream that’s in the name actually is. It’s underneath the egg sheet — heat everything up in the microwave and it works its way through the dish. Nothing unusual beyond that in the composition overall.

Side Dish Lineup

The sides are stir-fried kimchi, cucumber pickle, and a small amount of jalapeño pickle. There’s just enough to provide a refresh bite mid-meal — though “just enough” is doing a lot of work here; it’s on the lean side.

Dosirak composition and taste evaluation

Expectations going into a character collab dosirak are usually tempered, but the contents here are genuinely more packed than anticipated. Plenty of rice, and a good variety of accompaniments. If you don’t have any issue with this kind of lineup, there’s a solid meal here.

Honest Taste Test: Does It Actually Taste Good?

Time to eat. When microwaving, the pickles go separately first. The sauce cup usually stays in with everything else, but I pulled it out and gave it about 20 seconds on its own — no specific instructions to do so, just a gut call.

Starting with the tonkatsu. No dedicated dipping sauce comes with it, so the intention is to eat it alongside the omurice — but I wanted to try it on its own first. Basic flavor was pretty decent. The pork is US-sourced rather than domestic Korean, but the result is solid enough.

On to the omurice: poured the warmed sauce over the egg sheet, added rice and egg, and went in for a spoonful.

Designed to combine eating and collecting

The sauce base is Worcestershire rather than teriyaki — not much sweetness, more savory. Slightly oily fried rice with a bit of vegetable mixed in, combined with the egg sheet (artificial egg, technically, but the flavor holds up) — as convenience store omurice goes, this is a decent result.

Growing excitement for 2026 new menu items

The Mushroom Cream Sauce

Lift the egg sheet and there’s the white mushroom cream sauce underneath. It’s not elaborate — think cream of mushroom soup with a pronounced mushroom and cream aroma. It blends into each bite of omurice gradually as you eat, which works well, and it pairs surprisingly nicely with the main omurice sauce too.

The special quality of the Super Mario collab

If I had to name one Korean convenience store chain that does Hamburg steak best, GS25 would be the answer. Even by that standard, this one holds up. Nothing here that felt off or out of place.

If it feels a bit rich midway through, the stir-fried kimchi and pickles are there to reset the palate. The overall variety in the lineup means this is easily a full, satisfying meal.

Final Verdict

This was genuinely enjoyable to eat — more than expected for a character tie-in dosirak. The quality of the omurice itself was also a genuine surprise for GS25, and honestly if this launched as a permanent menu item without the keycap, it would still be worth buying (just price it accordingly). Whether you’re after a quick meal or you appreciate this kind of varied lineup, this one delivers. For visitors to Korea during the Super Mario Galaxy promotional period, it’s worth picking up at any GS25 — the collab packaging and keycap collectible make it a uniquely Korean convenience store experience.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. How many keycap designs are included?

There are 13 keycap designs in total, with one included at random in each dosirak. Characters used include Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, and Bowser from Super Mario Galaxy. For collectors aiming for a full set, the NH NongHyup card 50% discount makes multiple purchases significantly more manageable.

Q. How does the NH card discount work?

Paying with an NH NongHyup card applies a 50% QR discount at checkout. Kakao Pay offers a 25% cashback on all Super Mario collab items. The two discounts cannot be combined — pick whichever offers the better deal for your purchase. The promotion runs through the end of May.

Q. What does the omurice sauce taste like?

The main sauce is Worcestershire-based rather than teriyaki — savory and mild rather than sweet. The mushroom cream sauce underneath the egg sheet has a rich, creamy mushroom flavor similar to cream of mushroom soup. The two sauces mix naturally as you eat and work well together; neither is particularly strong or overpowering.
