Solo brunch poke set with spicy tomato soup in Seolleung: Hola Poke

Today I'm sharing a solo dining review of Hola Poke Seolleung Branch, which I found while searching for poke restaurants near Seolleung!

Honestly, I'd had a huge hotel buffet with friends the day before, so I was craving something light for brunch — poke felt right, haha. I happened to already be out, and today felt like a day I wanted to eat a proper bowl outside instead of making one at home.

Super Protein poke with salmon, chicken breast and sriracha mayo

The Super Protein poke comes generously loaded with chicken breast, salmon, and avocado all in one bowl. I had it with the recommended sriracha mayo sauce, which went perfectly with the poke.

The portion of poke is massive 😳 I came wanting to eat light, but just looking at it made me feel full already...!!

It comes generously loaded with chicken breast, salmon, and avocado. This was the biggest difference from the poke I make at home!! It's not easy to prep this many ingredients at once at home, right? 😂 Store-bought poke really does have a wider variety of ingredients, so it's fun to taste several flavors in one bowl.

I had it with the recommended sriracha mayo sauce, and it was a perfect combination with the poke. If you're unsure which sauce to pick, try the recommended one~!

Is the spicy tomato soup too spicy for brunch?

The spicy tomato soup at Hola Poke Seolleung Branch is, true to its name, spicy — a bit too much for eating in the morning. It reminded me of the familiar taste of hangover pasta.

Wait... I took one spoonful of soup and it tasted so familiar...! It was the taste of the hangover pasta I posted about not long ago, haha. It was nice to recognize the flavor, but eating something spicy first thing in the morning made me think maybe I should have picked the mushroom soup instead 🥹

Just before lunch: group orders in full swing

The time I visited Hola Poke Seolleung Branch was right before lunchtime, and the kitchen was busy preparing group orders.

If you work at a company near Seolleung Station and are trying to decide on lunch, ordering a group delivery from Hola Poke Seolleung Branch could be a good option 🥗

I didn't personally check whether group orders or timing are available, so please contact the store directly before ordering!
