Daehak-ro poke shop for a picnic: shrimp scallop & salmon, Sallering

Why I took Sallering poke to go for a Daehak-ro picnic

Last weekend I picked up two bibim poke bowls (poke mixed with sauce, Korean style) to go from Sallering Daehak-ro, a salad shop in Daehak-ro. When the weather turns cool, just walking around Daehak-ro feels healing, and instead of a crowded restaurant street I wanted to grab good food and relax outdoors. So I stopped by Sallering, which I'd had my eye on for a while, and picked up a healthy meal. 🥗

You'd think salad or poke is freshest when eaten in the shop, but my takeout from Sallering totally won me over. I visited on a sponsored basis, but the packing and the lineup of the meal were so good that I felt I'd have to come back and pay for my own Hyehwa solo lunch.

I especially recommend it if you're planning a picnic near Daehak-ro, or if you want a high-quality meal at home without any fuss.

Where is Sallering Daehak-ro, and what's the vibe?

Sallering Daehak-ro is at 24 Daehak-ro 10-gil, Jongno-gu, Seoul, on the first floor. Walking in to order takeout, my first impression was, "This would be a great place for a date."

The warm white-and-green interior makes the space feel good just to be in.

This time it was takeout, but next time I want to come with someone special and enjoy the atmosphere properly as a date spot. 🌿 The staff were really kind too, so waiting while my order was prepared was a pleasant experience.

Ordering takeout at Sallering Daehak-ro by kiosk

Sallering Daehak-ro has a well-equipped kiosk system, which is a big plus: you can get your food quickly even at peak time.

Daehak-ro has a lot of foot traffic and is often crowded, so I liked that this smart ordering system let me use my time efficiently.

Shrimp & scallop bibim poke and raw salmon bibim poke: still fresh after takeout?

Even when I opened the bowls at home, the bibim poke had been packed neatly with no shifting at all. I carried the bag home carefully, and opening it was a pleasant surprise.

I chose the shrimp & scallop bibim poke and the raw salmon bibim poke. The moment I opened the packaging, the nutty aroma and colorful look whetted my appetite.

I tried the two bowls that show off what Hyehwa Station poke is about. The plump shrimp and chewy scallops kept their texture even after being carried home, which surprised me.

The raw salmon had no fishy taste and melted in my mouth, so fresh. The star was Sallering's signature bibim-style sauce: the savory depth soaked into every ingredient, so I never got tired of it, down to the last bite.

Is the Sallering bibim poke portion filling?

With generous fresh vegetables, grains and main toppings, this Daehak-ro salad is hearty enough to keep even an adult man full.

Carbs, protein and fat are well balanced in one bowl, so I can't think of a better choice for anyone who prefers a healthy diet. 🍱
