Daehak-ro poke shop: daughter's lunchbox & crab stick poke, Sallering

Where is Sallering Daehak-ro and what kind of place is it?

Sallering Daehak-ro is at 24 Daehak-ro 10-gil, Jongno-gu, Seoul, on the 1st floor, 176 m from Exit 2 of Hyehwa Station. Takeout and delivery are available and groups can use it too, but there is no parking.

I visited this Daehak-ro salad and poke favorite, Sallering Daehak-ro. It's a brand that specializes in Korean-style bibim (mixed) poke salads, unlike other salad shops, and after my first visit I fell for the bibim sauce and keep coming back. The green exterior is eye-catching.

Sallering Daehak-ro atmosphere and busy hours

The inside is bright and fresh, with clear surfaces and green interior. It runs as an open kitchen, so you can watch the cooking, which makes it feel more trustworthy, and with its strict quality control everything is prepped so you can eat quickly.

I came around 4 p.m., after the peak. The dining area was relaxed, but there were quite a few takeout and delivery customers. It's well set up not only for dining in but also for takeout and delivery.

How to order at Sallering Daehak-ro

You check the menu on the kiosk. The base is a bibim-style poke salad, and you customize it by choosing dressings, toppings and a base.

The bibim-style poke salad, which is hard to find in Korea, comes as the standard. With 11 signature dressings developed for Korean tastes, 12 main toppings and 4 bases, you can reportedly make over 500 different combinations, so I could eat here every day without getting bored.

What I took out from Sallering Daehak-ro

I took out two items: the chicken breast slim-pack lunchbox and the plain bibim poke. For the lunchbox I chose gim sesame mayo (gim is seaweed), and for the plain bibim poke I went with vegetables only and picked Sallering's appetizing bibim sauce. I've been on a diet in the evenings lately, and thanks to Sallering Daehak-ro, tonight's diet dinner is going to be a success too.

High-protein chicken breast slim-pack lunchbox: what's inside and calories

The chicken breast high-protein slim-pack lunchbox has 100g chicken breast, brown rice and barley, cherry tomatoes, fried tofu, sweet potato salad, broccoli and quail eggs, in a carbs 4 : protein 4 : fat 2 ratio, 531 kcal in total.

My daughter took it as her lunchbox and said it tasted good, was filling, and, most of all, she was surprised at how well it went with the gim sesame mayo. Sallering satisfies on fullness, taste and variety of combinations, so if you're on a diet but still want to eat heartily, it looks like the best choice.

Plain bibim poke with crab sticks for a diet dinner

The plain bibim poke, my favorite at Sallering, is my dinner today. It's a basic base poke made not-so-plain with Sallering's fresh vegetables, egg strips and nuts, and on top of that

I added crab sticks, which I love.

With ingredients that include quail eggs for protein, mixed with the gochujang bibim dressing, it never gets boring, so you can eat it every day, which helps if you're dieting for a long stretch. Sallering's poke is made in a bibim style that's hard to find in Korea! It was a filling, satisfying meal.
