    Very affordable and scrumptious sandwich choices that could never go wrong! With such a wide variety of combinations, you are practically spoilt for choice!! We got 4 different types of sandwiches to try and every single one of them was just as tasty. If only the queue was shorter, we wouldn't have to wait that long for our order. Other than the waiting time, everything else was perfect. 😋

    My favorite Korean toast~ Love the sweet sauce they use in the sandwich and the egg with corn! This outlet has longer opening hours than the other Myeongdong outlet. Conveniently located in middle of myeongdong shopping area. Recommend the Ham & Cheese one, my favorite to really taste the signature sauce! If not, bulgogi special is good too~

    tried this on September 23rd during a weekend morning. It’s crowded during the weekend. Early in the morning, the queue starts. tried the bulgogi special, and it is tasty. The sauce is delicious, making the toast flavorful. This is the only takeout kiosk on Myeongdong street. It’s better to try it on a weekday when there’s less crowd. Service wise, below expectation to be honest.

    👍: -Cheap and affordable, wide variety , there is definitely something that you'll like from here. Most of the sandwich are around 5000won. Sandwich size is big too, good for sharing. 👎: -Nothing, loved it!

    Delicious Korean street toast. Had the bulgogi. Just what I needed on a drizzly afternoon. Could sit inside, though there were only 6 seats. Service was quick. The bulgogi toast sandwich came witha lovely sauce and lots of cabbage. Easy to eat as it is presented in its own little paper holder. Great snack when you need something quick.

    We ordered a double bacon and a shrimp toast and they were both sweet (and not tasty, obviously). I've heard that Koreans do put sugar in sandwiches and bagels, but I did not expect that flavour at all. They were definitely not worth a 45 minutes wait.

    Plenty is sandwiches to choose from to satisfy your breakfast cravings. Seems like only takeout is available so if you stay nearby, is quite convenient.

    I had to queue up for a while. These are really good toasts, you should try. Ideal for a quick take-away breakfast 😄

    My hotel didn't offer breakfast so this is a great spot to pick up an easy breakfast of toast with a large number of choices for filling (proteins). Also great value for money. Is popular so there can be a wait.

    We’ve had the Isaac Toasts straight after arrival from the Incheon Airport and they were so tasty!!! 🥪 Had read on the internet that they’re an iconic thing for breakfast in South Korea 😍🇰🇷 Very reasonably priced and super fresh 😋 We’ll be back for sure soon!

    This place was such a good surprise! While exploring Myeongdong, we were able to enjoy a delicious meal, allowing us to continue our day without any issues. It's a shame that many of the establishments in the area are compact, making it difficult to dine in.. the bulggogi egg toast was excellent 🤤

    This is a takeout counter serving their sandwiches and their take on local flavours. Tried the beef bulgogi sando which was very very substantial indeed. Meat is packed full and the beef was tender. Had that sweetness as expected from bulgogi and savoury at the same time. It’s very filling folks so you can’t really take it as a snack. It’s a full meal. Coffee that they had was only americano and they do not have sugar there so do note that.

    Went in search for breakfast in Myeongdong walking street as Isaac toast near Skypark hotel was closed till 30 oct. This is another branch within myeongdong near the cathedral. Queue was very long and after ordering, we waited another 20 mins for the food to be ready. No dining area, strictly pick up & eat elsewhere.

    Delicious toast to for a morning breakfast or a mid day snack. Do take note that only takeout is available and there are no seats nearby.

  • 5/5 elizabeth z. 10 months ago on Google
    Would recommend for breakfast or lunch! One toast is very filling, price is cheap, location is good especially in Myeondong very reachable if you are staying in the area or just doing shopping there :)

  • 5/5 Clara C. 4 years ago on Google
    The hole in the wall was easy to find with eat in located on the 3rd floor 3 doors down. We ordered the bulgogi toast with added potato and a bacon best. All sandwiches has egg and cabbage inside. Reasonably priced, delicious and definitely worth a try!!

    First time having Issac Toast although it has been all the rage in the last couple of months. The queue was very long as expected but ordering service was pretty fast. They have a number system that flashes on the screen when it’s your turn to collect. The sandwich looks very simple but it’s packed full of flavor. I don’t know how they do it! Will definitely patronize again if I come across it.

    Absolutely delicious toasties! There’s no seating but despite that, there was a line keen to try the famous toast. I recommend the Bulgogi MVP 😊

  • 5/5 Steven S. 5 months ago on Google
    They prepare super fast! all fresh and hot when served Glad they open for quick bite in the morning

    Having visited Seoul a few times and trying different branches of Isaac toast (since it's a chain), we stopped by one morning to try this branch. There are no seats or area to eat, just a window in the wall where they take your order. After you have ordered your food, you stand in front of the store either waiting or eating. Good thing is they cook to order, so your sandwich is nice and hot. They have a selection of toasted sandwiches including their signature galbi and bulgogi. However, they use milk bread and add extra sugar between the bread slices, as well as cooking in heavy butter, so the sandwich is very sweet and decadent. It was too fatty and the sweetness from the sugar overpowered the whole sandwich so it was not as enjoyable as I had previously experienced at other branches. The toasties at this branch tasted totally different to other branches that I have tried before, which is disppointing. Would suggest people go elsewhere. Especially if you are looking for a place with a seat/tables. This is purely a grab to take away only branch.

    Incredibly fresh and delicious. It may look very simple but the sauce they add packs the extra punch that makes you want to savour it. Recommend for a breakfast snack. But note that this is a take out only place.

  • 2/5 Bryan A. 4 years ago on Google
    Overrated fast food. Like a macdonalds breakfast burger but in sliced white bread. Weak coffee. Have to go upstairs in a nearby building if you want to sit down. Not recommended.

  • 5/5 Anthony M. 5 years ago on Google
    Must try place here in Korea, unlike any other sandwich out there. I got the pizza sandwich and I highly recommend it. It is quite sweet though

  • 5/5 Theresa S. 4 years ago on Google
    The blogs about the food in Korea are so true about Isaac! The sandwiches are delicious! I wish we had this every day when we were in Korea 😋

  • 5/5 Ngoc N. 1 year ago on Google
    Buttery cheesy sandwiches, super packed with flavours. We came back a few times in different stores (they are a franchise) to try different flavours. They were all fantastic, especially, I m a big fan of the prawn ones.

  • 4/5 Mandy F. 1 year ago on Google
    Good place for a quick breakfast. They offer many toast options. Slightly sweet bread. Good price for the amount you get!

  • 5/5 tran d. 8 months ago on Google
    Very delicious Will come back again Love it I love the bread And then people will eat this bread forever

  • 5/5 S L. 1 year ago on Google
    Love Isaac toast! Fell in love with it back in 2017 and this time back for it again! Have eaten it twice so far! Recommended 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

  • 4/5 Lin Lau B. 1 year ago on Google
    Good economical sandwitch with cabbages! Ordered Grilled Bulgogi & Ham Cheese. Hot Coffee in cold weather was super! Paid 10,9000 in WON

  • 4/5 Tina C. 1 year ago on Google
    The chili shrimp toast and their basic potato ham cheese one was so tasty! I can see why there’s so much hype around this place. I usually feel super greasy after eating breakfast sandwiches but I didn’t feel oily at all.

  • 4/5 Tony Y. 1 year ago on Google
    Affordable toast sandwiches and they’re pretty good. My friend and I got the bulgalbi and honestly, if you’ve ever had a McRib, it kinda tastes like that 😂. I also ordered a kiwi juice and that was really good. The line can get pretty long, we waited for about 15-20 minutes after we ordered for our food.

  • 4/5 Samuel H. 1 year ago on Google
    Sandwich tasted great. The price was acceptable as well, however it is not very filling. It is also a takeout place since there are no seating around it. Definitely a convenient place to simply grab a fast bite.

  • 4/5 Peera K. 1 year ago on Google
    Isaac Toast is a great shop. It tastes great with reasonable price. However I recommend not to waste time on only this branch or other in Myeongdong area. There are stores in many locations, you can save a lot of time by visiting other branch instead.

  • 3/5 MOUSE A. 11 months ago on Google
    Previously I thot it’s a cafe w dine in but it’s just a takeaway counter same as the other outlet just nearby the myeongdong subway. The bologi burger is nice, the potato egg n bacon is so-so. Overall price is on the high side compared to other fast food as a breakfast. Long queue too. So unless for first timer and plenty of time. We skipped the drinks as no proper standing area to eat too.

  • 5/5 Aiden’s W. 2 years ago on Google
    We order deep cheese ham sandwich to share, its savoury and sweet. I love the fact they uses nachos cheese instead of cheddar cheese or mozzarella cheese and the corn gives us a surprise. Affordable and good to go snack especially when the weather is cooling. Recommend people to give this a try.

  • 4/5 Cheng L. 1 year ago on Google
    Whole breakfast. I wish my creamy chicken toast was more toasted. Only take out is available, hanging around the cathedral with toast on your hand is pretty awesome too.

  • 5/5 Shan Shan L. 1 year ago on Google
    Like my Bacon Best sandwich 🥪. Perfect breakfast in Myeondong with fluffy bread and scrumptious bacon and eggs for 3,500 won.

  • 5/5 Morgan H. 1 year ago on Google
    Easy going cheap breakfast. They didn’t have the shrimp sandwich when I went but their menu is extensive and awesome. You order and take a ticket, they are accommodating of English speaking folk like myself. Definitely recommend.

  • 5/5 TH M. 1 year ago on Google
    Can I say it is more of a tradition? By comparison, maybe not the best egg sandwich anymore, but definitely still good and reasonably priced for what you get. Warm crispy toast with egg-centric fillings. On the sweet side and not super big portions, but it hits the spot for a quick breakfast or snack.
