# Solo dinner poke in Seocho: salmon-topped chicken at Olla Poke - By Areum Jun (https://superchart.com/en/@seochon-low-table-2/) - Written Sep 21, 2026 - Local places › Restaurants › Seocho, Seoul - Sponsored: This visit was sponsored by the business. - English edition: https://superchart.com/en/@seochon-low-table-2/ola-poke-seocho-chicken-poke-dinner/ - Also in: [한국어](https://superchart.com/ko/@seochon-low-table-2/ola-poke-seocho-chicken-poke-dinner/index.md) ## In short Olla Poke Seocho Gyodae Branch is a poke and salad restaurant on the basement level of Daejin Building, in the restaurant alley between Seocho Station and Gyodae Station in Seoul. For a solo dinner, the chicken breast poke (11,000 won) came with an added salmon topping for 14,500 won and arrived just 3 minutes after the kiosk order. Unusually for a poke bowl, Olla Poke fills you up like a proper single serving, which makes it an easy repeat stop for a quick dinner alone near the office. ## Good to know - **Location**: B1, 54 Banpo-daero 28-gil, Seocho-gu, Seoul (Daejin Building), in the restaurant alley between Seocho and Gyodae stations - **Salmon poke**: 13,500 won - **Steak poke**: 14,000 won - **Chicken breast poke**: 11,000 won - **What was ordered**: Chicken breast poke plus salmon topping, 14,500 won - **How to order**: Kiosk ordering, bowls can be customized - **Good to know**: Water and ice are self-serve; return your finished bowl to the tray drop - **Seating**: Tables for solo diners, with phone chargers on the tables - **Opened**: Opening notice dated March 25, 2026 (about 6 months before this visit) - **Price reference**: ₩13,500 ≈ $9.8 · ₩14,000 ≈ $10 · ₩11,000 ≈ $8 (2026-09-22) *as written by the visitor on Sep 21, 2026* I ended up eating dinner alone, so I decided to grab something near the office on the way home. Lunch had been a bit heavy, so I wanted something lighter for dinner — salad or poke — and luckily there was a poke place near the office, so I stopped by. ## Where is Olla Poke Seocho Gyodae Branch? Basement level between Seocho and Gyodae stations The place is called "Olla Poke Seocho Gyodae Branch," located right in the restaurant alley exactly between Seocho Station and Gyodae Station. Checking Naver, it turned out not to be an old shop — the opening notice went up on March 25, 2026, so it was a new business, about 6 months old. Salad and poke places are usually on the first floor, but this one is in the basement, so it was a bit confusing to find at first. At lunchtime I usually just walk into whatever's empty, so from that angle the accessibility felt a little lacking. ![Exterior of the Seocho restaurant alley building where Olla Poke Seocho Gyodae Branch is located](https://img.superchart.com/images/ola-poke-seocho-chicken-poke-dinner/ola-poke-seocho-chicken-poke-dinner-01-1ejt7-1200.webp) ![Olla Poke sign board at the entrance of Daejin Building](https://img.superchart.com/images/ola-poke-seocho-chicken-poke-dinner/ola-poke-seocho-chicken-poke-dinner-02-vst56-550.webp) The building is called Daejin Building, and there's a sign board at the entrance. You just head down to the basement level. ![Basement-level entrance of Olla Poke Seocho Gyodae Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/ola-poke-seocho-chicken-poke-dinner/ola-poke-seocho-chicken-poke-dinner-03-1xzns-550.webp) *Entrance* ![Stairs leading down to the basement-level restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/ola-poke-seocho-chicken-poke-dinner/ola-poke-seocho-chicken-poke-dinner-04-119eo-550.webp) *Way down* ## Solo tables, phone chargers and the evening mood at Olla Poke The inside of Olla Poke Seocho Gyodae Branch was bigger than I expected, and kept neat and clean. There were tables for solo dining, and they'd even set up phone chargers at the tables (nice touch). Since it was evening and seats were plentiful, I skipped the solo table and settled comfortably into a bigger one. Even though it's a salad place, the interior had a strange vibe that somehow felt like it would also suit beer and pizza. ![Interior tables and decor of Olla Poke Seocho Gyodae Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/ola-poke-seocho-chicken-poke-dinner/ola-poke-seocho-chicken-poke-dinner-05-1q9v3-550.webp) ![Quiet evening seating area in the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/ola-poke-seocho-chicken-poke-dinner/ola-poke-seocho-chicken-poke-dinner-06-sc8p0-550.webp) ## Olla Poke menu and prices: salmon 13,500 won, steak 14,000 won, chicken breast 11,000 won Ordering is done at the kiosk. The signature menu items seemed to be salmon poke (₩13,500), steak poke (₩14,000), and chicken breast poke (₩11,000), and there were also add-on options to choose from. In the evening they also seemed to sell pizza? (need to confirm). Each poke bowl has a set composition and sauce by default, but you can customize it too. If I come here often, I think I could find a delicious combination. ![Olla Poke kiosk menu screen](https://img.superchart.com/images/ola-poke-seocho-chicken-poke-dinner/ola-poke-seocho-chicken-poke-dinner-07-y4rbc-550.webp) ![Order screen showing poke customization options](https://img.superchart.com/images/ola-poke-seocho-chicken-poke-dinner/ola-poke-seocho-chicken-poke-dinner-08-1t0yc-550.webp) Water and ice are self-serve..! ![Self-serve water and ice bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/ola-poke-seocho-chicken-poke-dinner/ola-poke-seocho-chicken-poke-dinner-09-1q058-550.webp) ## Chicken breast poke with a salmon topping added, 14,500 won Since I was eating alone, I only ordered one item. What I ordered was chicken breast poke with a salmon topping added. The price was ₩14,500 (₩11,000 without the salmon). ![Order receipt for chicken breast poke with salmon topping added](https://img.superchart.com/images/ola-poke-seocho-chicken-poke-dinner/ola-poke-seocho-chicken-poke-dinner-10-dlxvo-550.webp) The order came out. Since there were no fried or grilled ingredients, it came out about 3 minutes after ordering. Personally I'm not a fan of the pineapple, but the rest of the composition was pretty solid. Eyeballing it, it had all the basic poke ingredients — corn, chickpeas, barley rice — and the portion was generous. The sauce was sriracha! I personally prefer mixing everything together rather than dipping (kind of looks like dog food, but whatever), so I poured the sauce on right away and started eating. ### Does one poke bowl really fill you up for a whole meal? Usually when I eat poke I always feel like I only got 0.7 servings, leaving me a bit empty inside, but Olla Poke gave me a full one-serving amount of fullness. None of the toppings felt skimpy either. ![Bowl of chicken breast poke drizzled with sriracha sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/ola-poke-seocho-chicken-poke-dinner/ola-poke-seocho-chicken-poke-dinner-11-o95mz-550.webp) ![Poke toppings including corn, chickpeas, and barley rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/ola-poke-seocho-chicken-poke-dinner/ola-poke-seocho-chicken-poke-dinner-12-15pre-550.webp) ## A 10-minute solo dinner, right through to the tray drop I ate in a rush, but maybe because I was alone, I finished in about 10 minutes and got up. There aren't as many poke or salad restaurants near the office as I'd expect, so this had been a bit of a struggle — but I get the feeling I'll be coming back here often. ![Tray return station set up in one corner of the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/ola-poke-seocho-chicken-poke-dinner/ola-poke-seocho-chicken-poke-dinner-13-1mgjv-550.webp) *Tray return* Once you're done eating, just move your bowl to the tray return station — that's it. ![Passageway leading out of the restaurant after a meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/ola-poke-seocho-chicken-poke-dinner/ola-poke-seocho-chicken-poke-dinner-14-1mqiu-550.webp) ![The two separate entrances to the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/ola-poke-seocho-chicken-poke-dinner/ola-poke-seocho-chicken-poke-dinner-15-5sg0g-550.webp) The shop has two entrances. I came in through the second one, and I did wonder where the other entrance leads. ## Where it is - Olla Poke Seocho Gyodae Branch (올라포케 서초교대점) - 54 Banpo-daero 28-gil, B1, Seocho-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 서초구 반포대로28길 54 지하1층 - 37.4912861, 127.0114055 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%98%AC%EB%9D%BC%ED%8F%AC%EC%BC%80%20%EC%84%9C%EC%B4%88%EA%B5%90%EB%8C%80%EC%A0%90/@37.4912861,127.0114055,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@seochon-low-table-2/ola-poke-seocho-chicken-poke-dinner/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
