Seocho poke restaurant with smoked duck and chicken wrap: Olla Poke

Poke lunch between Seocho and Gyodae stations

I love having poke after a workout or whenever I want to keep my meals light and clean, so I headed to the popular Olla Poke Seocho Gyodae Branch near Seocho and Gyodae.

It sits between Seocho and Gyodae stations, making it incredibly easy for nearby office workers to pop in on foot at lunch. The moment I walked in, the trendy, stylish interior caught my eye. The clean, well-kept space and bright atmosphere with a Hawaiian-resort feel put me in a good mood before I even ate. There are also great seats for eating comfortably alone, so it is a very nice spot for a solo office-worker lunch.

Choosing your poke base and toppings

Looking over the menu, I liked how substantial the options were: you can build your meal to taste, starting with a base such as brown rice, buckwheat noodles, or vegetables only, then adding toppings.

What I ordered

• Smoked duck poke
• Mini fried tofu salad
• Custom wrap (chicken breast)

From smoked duck poke to a custom wrap

Without overthinking it, I immediately got down to enthusiastically devouring everything, from the smoked duck poke to the custom wrap.

Smoked duck poke

Even visually, the toppings were so generous they looked ready to spill out of the bowl. The chewy, nutty flavor of the nicely browned smoked duck paired amazingly with fresh vegetables, popping fish roe, and brown rice. Crunchy onion flakes and the savory richness of the house sauce completed it, making this a top Gyodae Station poke menu that stayed delicious right through the final spoonful.

Mini fried tofu salad

I ordered the mini fried tofu salad as a light side. The bite-size fried tofu was crisp outside and moist inside, with nutty flavor exploding in every bite. At an easygoing price, it is a crazy-good side that boosts both texture and protein.

Custom wrap (chicken breast)

The custom wrap is ideal for holding in one hand during a busy lunch break or on the move. I chose chicken breast, and it was moist rather than dry at all. The tortilla was densely packed with chicken breast, crisp vegetables, and sauce, delivering more and more satisfying fullness with every bite. It is seriously filling as a meal on its own.

How was it for a diet-conscious lunch?

This is a poke specialist that nails all three: fresh ingredients, a great balance of sauces and toppings, and generous portions. Even after eating, I felt comfortable rather than weighed down, and the fullness lasted.

If you are looking for a proper diet-conscious menu near Seocho or Gyodae, or simply want a healthy, delicious meal, I strongly recommend stopping by Olla Poke Seocho Gyodae Branch!
