That's what I ordered! (Note this is the combo you can order as the solo hearty set.)

A hearty meal packed and ready to go!

The packaging was neat and clean too.

How does the garlic shrimp poke taste with the spicy sauce?

Golden-grilled shrimp take center stage, surrounded edge to edge with corn, chickpeas, lentils, red onion, pineapple, and a variety of fresh vegetables and grains packed into the bowl.

The shrimp portion was really generous, which I loved, and the plump, springy shrimp, savory garlic aroma, and crisp fresh vegetables all came together perfectly.

Is the 5,000-won mushroom soup worth adding?

The mushroom soup had a smooth, savory cream flavor along with a satisfying bite from the chunks of mushroom. It was just the thing to warm up my stomach before diving into a poke bowl that could otherwise feel a bit cold.

The sauce is the one the staff recommended — spicy, and it paired so well with the garlic shrimp!

The vegetables were fresh too, and the sweetness of the pineapple popping up throughout really boosted the overall flavor — I scraped the bowl clean!

Who should try takeout from Ola Poke Gangnam?

Even the single dish alone is filling, but ordering it as a set with the soup makes for a hearty, generous portion. Packed with healthy vegetables, protein and grains, it left my stomach comfortable afterward with zero bloating.
