Let me show you one of the poke bowls I ordered first.

Where Hola Poke Seolleung Branch is and what the second-floor space is like

It's about a 200m walk from Seolleung Station Exit 2, so accessibility was great. The restaurant is located on the second floor of the building.

The interior is done up cleanly in white tones and felt tidy overall. There were plenty of seats for eating in the restaurant, too. It was a comfortable vibe for eating alone without any pressure.

How to order a poke bowl at the Hola Poke kiosk

There was also a sign for people ordering poke for the first time.

You order through a kiosk, and after choosing a poke menu you can set your preferred base ratio, which I liked. Being able to choose the salad-to-rice ratio meant I could eat it exactly to my taste.

Writing a Naver review lets you choose an added topping — nuts, jalapeño, boiled egg, or shrimp — or a drink instead.

• Smoked duck poke ₩11,000
• Tofu poke ₩11,000

Since I wanted to try both the salad and the oat brown rice, I chose half salad and half oat brown rice.

On one side of the restaurant there's a dish return area, with cutlery, forks, napkins, sesame and yuzu dressing, and paper cups.

I ordered the smoked duck poke and tofu poke as takeout, and the packaging was neat and easy to carry.

Smoked duck poke, 11,000 won

The bowl came generously packed with smoked duck, chickpeas, red onion, lentils, and more. With half salad and half oat brown rice, I could enjoy the crunchy texture of the vegetables together with the heartiness of the rice.

Tofu poke, 11,000 won

This one had fried soft tofu along with the usual basic toppings. The mild tofu and fresh vegetables paired well with the nutty black sesame sauce drizzled over them. Overall it had a clean, light taste that was easy to eat without feeling heavy.
