Inside Ola Poke Samseong Branch

The inside has orange color accents and a checkerboard floor, a totally hip vibe! The logo of a cat in sunglasses holding a poke bowl is so cute 🐱 There are props like a Marilyn Monroe pop-art frame too, so it's a good spot for photos.

The self-serve bar is well stocked with warm water, lemon water, utensils and sauces. And it looks like they give you a cola for a review event haha

How do the salmon poke and buckwheat noodle steak poke taste?

I took out one salmon poke and one steak poke on a buckwheat noodle base from Ola Poke Samseong Branch!

I gasped the second I opened the lid… the colors are crazy, right?? 🤩 Corn, chickpeas, lentils, red onion, pineapple, even pickled beet radish, the toppings are seriously generous.

Salmon poke

The salmon poke is topped with big, thick chunks of raw salmon and sprinkled with crispy onions, so the texture is amazing. The salmon is really fresh, with zero fishy smell!

Steak poke on a buckwheat noodle base

I chose the buckwheat noodle base for the steak poke, and there's more meat than I expected and the seasoning is just right. Eating it with the buckwheat noodles gives it a cold soba (naengmomil) feel, and it's totally filling!

After finishing a whole bowl, you're full but your stomach feels comfortable, you know? The biggest plus is that with a salad base you can eat it without guilt haha
