It's between the Fashion Center and Daemyeong Middle School!

There's a nice outdoor seating area, but it was full so I took the photo without showing the customers.

I arrived around 12:15pm and it was already fully booked. Really popular place.

Let's go inside.

## Ordering at the kiosk and finding a seat during the lunch rush

![Indoor seating at Ola Poke Samseong Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/samseong-station-poke-diet-lunch-olla/samseong-station-poke-diet-lunch-olla-06-1cw85-900.webp)

The interior has plenty of seats but the space itself isn't large, so you have to line up for the kiosk. Still, considering it's a made-to-order menu, the line moved fast.

![Kiosk ordering line at the entrance](https://img.superchart.com/images/samseong-station-poke-diet-lunch-olla/samseong-station-poke-diet-lunch-olla-07-1e9eo-900.webp)

While waiting in the kiosk line at the entrance, a 4-person table opened up so I grabbed it.

Right behind the kiosk, there's an open kitchen where you can also order at the POS counter. Since I had booked through Superchart Members, a staff member took my order directly.

I went with No. 5, raw salmon poke, and chose sriracha mayo as the sauce (₩13,500).

There's even an apron to the left of the fox painting on the wall here. Nice touch.

![Outdoor seating area at Ola Poke Samseong Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/samseong-station-poke-diet-lunch-olla/samseong-station-poke-diet-lunch-olla-10-5wxzb-900.webp)

This is the outdoor seating area.

Every table has this review event QR code sticker attached. Do the review event and get a free Pepsi Zero.

Oh, there's even an outlet next to the wall 4-person table I sat at. If you're in a charging emergency, you can charge your phone while eating.

## What's on the Ola Poke self bar: tea, sauces and even hair ties

Next to the lemon water was some kind of tea, like roasted barley tea (filtered water), not hot water or broth. I drank this one. It tasted good, fragrant.

For reference, Ola Poke is a Ministry of Food and Drug Safety-designated food safety establishment and a Hyosarang restaurant. When I actually ate here, the ingredients really were all fresh and the staff were kind. The table turnover was incredibly fast too. Despite the tight space, there was no real inconvenience.

![Utensil corner with spoons and forks](https://img.superchart.com/images/samseong-station-poke-diet-lunch-olla/samseong-station-poke-diet-lunch-olla-12-d535a-843.webp)

![Basic soy sauce and sesame soy sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/samseong-station-poke-diet-lunch-olla/samseong-station-poke-diet-lunch-olla-13-cim14-824.webp)

Spoon on the left, fork on the right.

I liked that they had both basic soy sauce and sesame soy sauce ready. I tend to eat salty so I grabbed extra.

Since this poke place seems to get a lot of female customers, they had hair ties, disposable mouthwash, toothpicks, wet wipes and more — I found that pretty thoughtful.

![Hair ties, disposable mouthwash and other amenities provided](https://img.superchart.com/images/samseong-station-poke-diet-lunch-olla/samseong-station-poke-diet-lunch-olla-14-ecgan-900.webp)

The sesame soy sauce is delicious.

So it seems you grab the free Pepsi Zero from under the water and utensil station, using the QR code stuck on each table earlier. Nice.

![Self-serve fridge area with Pepsi Zero from the review event](https://img.superchart.com/images/samseong-station-poke-diet-lunch-olla/samseong-station-poke-diet-lunch-olla-16-17xrs-900.webp)

Such detailed service.

## Origin and calorie labels on the Ola Poke menu board

![Origin and calorie labeling posted on the wall](https://img.superchart.com/images/samseong-station-poke-diet-lunch-olla/samseong-station-poke-diet-lunch-olla-17-o0eep-899.webp)

Given the type of menu and restaurant, origin labeling and calorie info were posted on the wall. When you're dieting, this stuff gets you paying attention, and honestly it's really appreciated these days when places label it. People who care about hygiene would also notice this kind of origin labeling.

And just like being confused the first time you go to Subway, poke also has a lot of menu choices, so the friendly ordering guide made this place feel really sweet.

![Wifi and takeout order guide posted in the store](https://img.superchart.com/images/samseong-station-poke-diet-lunch-olla/samseong-station-poke-diet-lunch-olla-18-muvkp-851.webp)

They even tell you the wifi password, visibility is great, and they let you know that ordering takeout is cheapest through Naver. Whoa.

## How does the raw salmon poke with sriracha mayo taste?

![A colorful bowl of raw salmon poke](https://img.superchart.com/images/samseong-station-poke-diet-lunch-olla/samseong-station-poke-diet-lunch-olla-19-17qoq-828.webp)

The poke arrived. So colorful visually, and above all, don't the ingredients look genuinely fresh?

![Raw salmon poke topped with sriracha mayo](https://img.superchart.com/images/samseong-station-poke-diet-lunch-olla/samseong-station-poke-diet-lunch-olla-20-1le7f-899.webp)

Looks good, tastes good too.

![Close-up of raw salmon poke ingredients](https://img.superchart.com/images/samseong-station-poke-diet-lunch-olla/samseong-station-poke-diet-lunch-olla-21-14kqb-1200.webp)

For real.

Watch the video for yourself.

There were so many people I felt bad filming the store, so this is roughly it.

Raw salmon poke + sriracha mayo. Apparently sriracha mayo is their best-selling sauce, and honestly, as a pig-emperor who's watched a lot of mukbangs and food shorts, salmon with that reddish mayo-ish sauce seemed to be trending, so I ordered it that way — and yep, delicious, good stuff.

Come on, do you really think I'd write flowery viral-marketer language here? Doesn't it just end with one photo, like a monk's meditation-level bowl-emptying pose? And FYI, as someone who's gone from 110kg down to 56kg, you can imagine how many diet foods I've eaten in my life. Now at 70kg as the pig-emperor, I keep wanting to order this poke as a double portion.

Damn it, this stirred up my appetite so much I bought a Bacchus jelly at the convenience store afterward (maximum restraint). Anyway, definitely go visit, haha.

![Bowl of raw salmon poke, nearly finished](https://img.superchart.com/images/samseong-station-poke-diet-lunch-olla/samseong-station-poke-diet-lunch-olla-22-e8gac-856.webp)

Shocked at how good it was — makes me want to eat 3 servings unhealthily.
