김밥천국 (Kimbap Cheonguk), one of the most well-known cheap Korean food outlets.
김밥천국 (Kimbap Cheonguk, lit. Kimbap heaven) is one of the largest Korean food chains in the country, and is one of the cheapest places a person can go to for a full meal. Places like this are known by the general term bunshik (분식). Prices generally range form 1000 won for kimbap to 5000 won for full meals like Soegogideopbap (쇠고기덮밥) and others.
Note that there are a number of other stores with the same name, and that they will often use the same orange-coloured sign so it is easy to mistake them as being the same company. However, the product and price is largely the same and as their main selling point is the price of the food, customers are largely not concerned with whether the store is "genuine" or not.
A typical menu at a bunshik restaurant. Though not 김밥천국, selection and prices are nearly the same.
