I've been chasing salads lately because of my diet, and I finally made it to Hola Poke, one of the well-known poke spots near Seolleung haha. I'd seen a ton of reviews while searching and got curious, and once I actually went, I got why it's so popular — great for eating alone, but also great for eating with a group. ## Where is Hola Poke Seolleung Branch, and what are the hours?

Salmon poke, Super Protein poke, smoked duck poke, chicken breast poke, seafood poke — genuinely a lot of options, so I feel like a first-timer would have a hard time choosing... but honestly, as a carnivore dinosaur, it was straight to steak lol. That day I really wanted to load up on protein, so I went with the steak poke and added salmon as a topping on top of that. I figured the steak alone would already be filling, so I was curious just how hearty it'd get with salmon piled on too haha. ![Open kitchen cooking area at Hola Poke Seolleung Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/olla-poke-seolleung-steak-poke-salmon-topping/olla-poke-seolleung-steak-poke-salmon-topping-07-lt4yb-966.webp) It's an open kitchen, so it felt more hygienic and clean, and I could trust what I was eating — really nice. ![Signage with ordering guidance for first-time customers](https://img.superchart.com/images/olla-poke-seolleung-steak-poke-salmon-topping/olla-poke-seolleung-steak-poke-salmon-topping-08-1yvp6-966.webp) There was also guidance for first-time customers, and a takeout tip posted up! The tip says ordering through Naver is the cheapest way to get takeout, so if you're planning to take out, order through Naver! ![Store signage with takeout ordering tips](https://img.superchart.com/images/olla-poke-seolleung-steak-poke-salmon-topping/olla-poke-seolleung-steak-poke-salmon-topping-09-1ejbi-966.webp) ## The self-bar and sauces at Hola Poke Spoons and forks are set out at the self-bar, ![Self-bar with spoons and forks laid out](https://img.superchart.com/images/olla-poke-seolleung-steak-poke-salmon-topping/olla-poke-seolleung-steak-poke-salmon-topping-10-wy9i8-966.webp) and besides the basic sauce, there's also sesame sauce, which seemed like it'd taste great mixed in too haha. Overall the store was very clean and tidy, so it was pleasant to use! ![Self-bar corner with sesame sauce and other sauces](https://img.superchart.com/images/olla-poke-seolleung-steak-poke-salmon-topping/olla-poke-seolleung-steak-poke-salmon-topping-11-15wcu-966.webp) ## Steak poke with salmon topping: portion size and taste I didn't wait long after ordering before it came out — great! Busy busy modern life. When eating alone, having the food come out fast really puts my mind at ease, and Hola Poke seemed to have a pretty fast turnover. The moment I got it, my first thought was, 'wow, this is seriously a lot.' You can choose the salad-to-brown-rice ratio when ordering, so I went with 3 salad / 7 brown rice — over the base veggies and brown rice sat thickly sliced steak, and with salmon piled on top of that, even though it's one bowl, it was seriously filling.. The steak was really tender and mildly seasoned without being over the top, so I could keep eating without getting tired of it, and mixing it with the sauce made it even better ㅠㅠ ![Poke bowl topped with thickly sliced steak](https://img.superchart.com/images/olla-poke-seolleung-steak-poke-salmon-topping/olla-poke-seolleung-steak-poke-salmon-topping-12-1db1h-966.webp) I actually went back and forth a lot on whether to add the salmon, but I'm so glad I did — the texture became much more varied compared to steak alone, and it was fresh enough that I didn't have to worry about any fishy smell! ![Close-up of steak poke with added salmon topping](https://img.superchart.com/images/olla-poke-seolleung-steak-poke-salmon-topping/olla-poke-seolleung-steak-poke-salmon-topping-13-1sszg-966.webp) The veggies were pretty fresh too, with a crisp texture that really cut through the richness, and having lentils and furikake in there was such a nice touch. ![Base vegetables topped with lentils and furikake](https://img.superchart.com/images/olla-poke-seolleung-steak-poke-salmon-topping/olla-poke-seolleung-steak-poke-salmon-topping-14-12at4-966.webp) The salad and rice went together so well that I ate it all up happily ㅠㅠ ![Steak poke served in a 3-salad-7-brown-rice ratio](https://img.superchart.com/images/olla-poke-seolleung-steak-poke-salmon-topping/olla-poke-seolleung-steak-poke-salmon-topping-15-1q591-1200.webp) ![Full view of the poke bowl before mixing](https://img.superchart.com/images/olla-poke-seolleung-steak-poke-salmon-topping/olla-poke-seolleung-steak-poke-salmon-topping-16-g8oz6-966.webp) I went with the recommended wasabi sauce, and it went great with both the steak and the salmon! ![Steak and salmon paired with wasabi sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/olla-poke-seolleung-steak-poke-salmon-topping/olla-poke-seolleung-steak-poke-salmon-topping-17-tt4yn-966.webp) For anyone who wants a hearty meal while still keeping an eye on calories, this seems like a solid choice ㅠㅠ ![Steak poke from Hola Poke Seolleung Branch nearly finished](https://img.superchart.com/images/olla-poke-seolleung-steak-poke-salmon-topping/olla-poke-seolleung-steak-poke-salmon-topping-18-1i58t-966.webp) ## Who should eat at Hola Poke Seolleung Branch? - Anyone looking for a diet-friendly lunch near Seolleung Station - Anyone who finds salads boring but is curious about poke for the first time - Anyone who wants a solid protein-packed meal - Anyone looking for a casual spot to eat with coworkers ## Final thoughts on Hola Poke Seolleung Branch There are so many restaurants around Seolleung that I always struggle to decide where to go, but Hola Poke Seolleung Branch is great for eating alone, and also really, really good for eating in a group with everyone getting their own clean, individual bowl — highly recommend!
