Korean konbini chain Seven-Eleven has dropped a new bento under its Hando Chogwa lineup: the Hando Chogwa Honey Galbi & Budae Bokkeum Bento.

Hello. Today I’m introducing Seven-Eleven’s new lunchbox menu, the Spicy Jumbo Chicken Drumstick Set. It’s a fully original menu that Seven-Eleven has released for the first time in a while. That said, the concept itself seems influenced by GS25’s Edward Lee Whole Chicken Drumstick Lunchbox that came out recently, or the older Wanjeonkeun Dak lunchbox. Moreover, if you go back even further, it also seems connected to Seven-Eleven’s Spicy Chicken Drumstick lunchbox that was released in the past. It was quite spicy, but I still enjoyed it. Now, let’s take a closer look at what this menu is like.
Hello. Today’s new Seven-Eleven lunch box is a Chinese-style rice bowl called Kim Joo Kitchen Chef’s Chinese-Style Spicy Pork Rice Bowl. It is said to recreate a signature dish from “Chef Kim Joo Kitchen,” who worked at Palseon for over 23 years, in a convenience-store lunch box format. I was curious how they would capture that signature wok-kissed smokiness and the spicy, thick-cut pork, so I bought one right away. The taste was fairly decent and easy to enjoy. Now, let’s take a closer look at what this menu is like.
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.
