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 lunchbox menu from Emart24 is the Sichuan-Style Dakgalbi Lunchbox, a collaboration with Chef Park Eun-young. It is not a direct collaboration with the “Black-and-White Chef,” but Emart24 is clearly serious about rolling out chef-driven menus. Moreover, it seems they are now trying to fill even their core lunchbox lineup with chef collaborations, not just one-off “signature” items. Today’s pick is the most basic set-meal option among Chef Park Eun-young’s collaboration menus. Still, the mildly spicy sauce had a pretty distinctive character. So, let’s take a closer look at what this menu is all about.

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.
