These days I've been really trying to manage my diet and take care of my health, so I've been on the hunt for good salad and poke spots I can eat light at. Ola Poke Gangnam kept coming up with great reviews as a solo lunch poke spot near Gangnam Station that also does delivery and takeout ♡⃛

Location and atmosphere at Ola Poke Gangnam

Ola Poke Gangnam sits in an alley near the Sinbundang Line exit at Gangnam Station, so it's really easy to find, and the transit access is excellent — such a convenient spot to set as a meeting place!

The clean exterior stands out from a distance, so even someone with zero sense of direction like me could find it easily (๑˘̴͈́ꈊ˘̴͈̀)

Stepping inside Ola Poke Gangnam, I immediately felt how clean and cozy the space was! Everything was kept spotless throughout, which already put me in a good mood before the food even arrived.

A solo poke set ordered 70% rice, 30% salad

After sitting down and taking my time with the menu, I went with a filling set that comes with a solo poke plus a hot soup! Ola Poke Gangnam lets you really fine-tune the base to your taste. I chose the poke base at 70% rice to 30% salad.

Being able to adjust the ratio myself like this meant I could set the carb-to-veggie balance exactly how I wanted — so satisfying ( •̀ᴗ•́ )o Truly the best for anyone on a diet!

Flat iron steak topping and mayo sauce

For the main topping I chose flat iron steak, and honestly, brilliant choice! It was grilled with real care, so juicy and tender.

Ola Poke Gangnam cooks everything fresh to order, so the warmth stayed intact, and the nutty flavor spread through my mouth with every bite — amazing (๑˙ꄃ˙๑)♡⃛ The tender, never-tough flat iron steak took the whole poke bowl up a notch.

I added a bit of savory mayo sauce and mixed it all together. The combo of the soft flat iron steak and mayo sauce was absolutely perfect, honestly impressive.

The sauce blended smoothly with the ingredients without ever feeling greasy, so clean that I emptied the whole bowl in no time (๑˘̴͈́ꈊ˘̴͈̀)

How was the mushroom soup that came with the set?

A full bite of crunchy veggies, nutty rice, and flat iron steak together makes you happy! The mushroom soup that came with the set is also a must-try delicacy!

It was so packed with mushrooms that it clearly wasn't from a can — I could taste the honest effort of it being simmered in-house, deep and rich in flavor ♡⃛ At Ola Poke Gangnam, the mushroom aroma spread gently through my mouth from the first spoonful. Soothing my stomach first with the warm, smooth soup, then eating the savory poke alongside it, felt like the perfect, nutritionally solid combination ( ɞ̴̶̷ ̫ ɞ̴̶̷ )

The drink I got from the receipt review event

The creaminess of the soup and the lightness of the poke really complemented each other. And Ola Poke Gangnam also has a sweet event where you get a free chilled Coca-Cola or Pepsi Zero if you take part in the receipt review event.

I made sure to enjoy every bit of it! Writing the Naver review was simple too, so anyone can easily take part ( •̀ᴗ•́ )و
