On a weekend trip to Pohang, the writer dined alone and ordered the 3-combo mulhoe (squid, flounder and mixed fish sashimi), then added side dishes from the unlimited self-bar along with squid soup, thin wheat noodles and a mini fried squid received through the review event. Between the icy broth, the squid sashimi and the ocean view, Ppwang Mulhoe is worth recommending for a mulhoe lunch. ## Good to know - **Address**: 203-1 Haean-ro, 1st floor, Buk-gu, Pohang, Gyeongbuk - **Hours**: 10:30 - 22:00 (last order 21:00) - **Parking**: 6-7 cars in front of the restaurant; if full, the public lot at the beach across the street - **Seating**: Private rooms available, groups welcome - **Self-bar**: Unlimited use - **Ordered**: 3-combo mulhoe (squid, flounder and mixed fish sashimi) - **Review event**: Mini fried squid included *as written by the visitor on Sep 20, 2026* Solip here, off work! I was lucky enough to get 3 days off this weekend, so I came to play in Pohang. Pohang is famous for mulhoe (spicy chilled raw fish soup), right? If you're from Gyeongsang-do, you probably know several famous mulhoe spots in Pohang — I love mulhoe too and remember eating a lot of it! ## Where is Ppwang Mulhoe and when is it open? Ppwang Mulhoe is a mulhoe restaurant on the first floor of 203-1 Haean-ro, Buk-gu, Pohang, right in front of Yeongildae Beach. It's open from 10:30 to 22:00, with last order at 21:00. I was searching for a new mulhoe spot in Pohang and discovered "Ppwang Mulhoe." - 📍203-1 Haean-ro, 1st floor, Buk-gu, Pohang, Gyeongbuk, South Korea - 📍Parking available right in front of the store!

Enjoying cool mulhoe with a sea view, plus unlimited sweet, refreshing squid soup! Have you heard of squid mulhoe!?!? With squid sashimi inside the mulhoe, you get double or triple the softness and chewiness!! ![Pink-toned entrance of Ppwang Mulhoe](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-three-combo-solo/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-three-combo-solo-02-10d7t-900.webp) ![Pink interior details around the Ppwang Mulhoe entrance](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-three-combo-solo/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-three-combo-solo-03-cg9i6-900.webp) Ppwang Mulhoe seems to have gone with a pink theme for the interior!! From the entrance onward, it's pink, pink, pink. Can you see the unlimited self-bar!! I feel like you could clean out a whole bowl of rice just with the self-bar sides! ![Sign for the unlimited self-bar at Ppwang Mulhoe](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-three-combo-solo/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-three-combo-solo-04-fdgjo-900.webp) ![Self-bar corner inside Ppwang Mulhoe](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-three-combo-solo/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-three-combo-solo-05-1q11m-900.webp) ## Parking and waiting times at Ppwang Mulhoe Ppwang Mulhoe has its own parking right in front of the restaurant with room for about 6-7 cars. If you know this ahead of time, you shouldn't have trouble finding a spot! If parking is full, there's the Yeongildae public lot, but you have to cross a busy street to get there... it's only a 30-second walk though, haha. ![Private parking lot in front of Ppwang Mulhoe](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-three-combo-solo/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-three-combo-solo-06-1t9rq-900.webp) ![Street view toward the public parking lot at Yeongildae Beach](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-three-combo-solo/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-three-combo-solo-07-fqnuf-900.webp) When you walk in, there's a tablet set up for waitlist registration. When I went in there were only 2-3 empty tables, so I didn't have to wait, but apparently there can be a wait during weekend mealtimes or Friday dinner! Still, the place is spacious so the wait seems short. ![Tablet for waitlist registration at Ppwang Mulhoe](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-three-combo-solo/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-three-combo-solo-08-lt9ir-633.webp) If you have to wait a bit, it's nice to look over the menu and decide in advance. ![Mulhoe menu board at Ppwang Mulhoe](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-three-combo-solo/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-three-combo-solo-09-1k1ku-m-900.webp) ![Side dish menu page of the Ppwang Mulhoe menu board](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-three-combo-solo/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-three-combo-solo-10-1jdla-m-900.webp) If there's no wait!! Just sit down and order right away using the tablet. ![Table tablet order screen](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-three-combo-solo/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-three-combo-solo-11-8opwv-m-900.webp) ## What comes in the 3-combo mulhoe? The 3-combo mulhoe I ordered at Ppwang Mulhoe is made up of squid sashimi, flounder sashimi, and mixed fish sashimi. Mulhoe with squid sashimi in it!!? It felt unfamiliar, but the soft, chewy squid sashimi seemed like it would go really well with mulhoe, so I ordered it without a second thought! ![Order screen for the 3-combo mulhoe](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-three-combo-solo/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-three-combo-solo-12-1tylv-900.webp) On the tablet, a cute squid character explains how to eat Ppwang Mulhoe deliciously. Try mixing it first! Apparently mixing the fresh squid sashimi with the gochujang (red chili paste) sauce first tastes better. Eat it mixed first, then pour in the mulhoe broth and eat it soup-style — that way you get to enjoy two dishes in one! Plus, minced chili and wasabi are available at the self-bar so you can adjust it to your taste! ![Squid character guide explaining how to eat the mulhoe](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-three-combo-solo/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-three-combo-solo-13-1ky36-900.webp) Even the aprons are cutely pink, pink. ## What's on the unlimited self-bar? The self-bar at Ppwang Mulhoe has tteokbokki (spicy stir-fried rice cakes), stir-fried Vienna sausages, seasoned zucchini, seasoned potato strips, braised quail eggs, kimchi-tofu pancake, braised eomuk (fish cake), seasoned seaweed stems, minced chili, and wasabi. Right next to the self-bar corner is a self-serve squid soup station. ![Pink apron](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-three-combo-solo/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-three-combo-solo-14-w918h-900.webp) ![Self-bar with tteokbokki and side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-three-combo-solo/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-three-combo-solo-15-pexq3-900.webp) ![Self-serve squid soup station](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-three-combo-solo/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-three-combo-solo-16-dm3af-900.webp) Fill your squid-shaped bowl with broth — ah! It's hot, be careful!! Ta-da! A sweet, spicy, refreshing (yet piping hot) squid soup is complete. It was so good I ended up drinking straight from the bowl, haha. ![Squid soup served in a squid-shaped bowl](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-three-combo-solo/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-three-combo-solo-17-ian3x-900.webp) ![Plate of side dishes from the self-bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-three-combo-solo/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-three-combo-solo-18-r07qn-900.webp) I made good use of the self-bar. I love seaweed stems normally, so I think I ate the most of those and the quail eggs!! Overall these were the kind of Korean rice side dishes that make you crave a bowl of rice! Tasty, perfectly seasoned side dishes that make you order an extra bowl of rice... ![Seasoned seaweed stems and braised quail eggs among the side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-three-combo-solo/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-three-combo-solo-19-1tea4-900.webp) ![Table set with self-bar side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-three-combo-solo/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-three-combo-solo-20-ee4ce-900.webp) There's also wheat noodles at the self-bar so you can eat as much as you want!! However much you can eat!! I think the biggest advantage is being able to use the self-bar freely. You can tell how clean the place is from the utensil holder! The owner is the best! Plus the taste is guaranteed!!! ![Wheat noodle station at the self-bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-three-combo-solo/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-three-combo-solo-21-1t0el-900.webp) ## How the mulhoe and the review-event fried squid tasted After a short wait, the mulhoe I ordered comes out!! It's made up of squid sashimi, flounder sashimi, and mixed fish. There was a generous amount of sashimi, not too thinly sliced, plenty of vegetables, and the sweet radish and crisp cucumber added even more texture. The mulhoe broth was delicious too! The icy broth meeting the chewy sashimi made my mouth dance,, !! They give you mini fried squid for the review event!! It happened to pair perfectly with the tteokbokki at the self-bar. Dip the fried squid in the tteokbokki sauce~ and the crispy fried squid melts right in your mouth~ Owner,,, when even the review-event food is this perfect, I'm just so happy. ![Review-event mini fried squid with tteokbokki](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-three-combo-solo/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-three-combo-solo-22-i3gwt-900.webp) The side dishes and review-event food I tried before the main dish were so good I already felt full... but I couldn't miss out on the mulhoe!! Adding in the wheat noodles, the cold broth loosened them up and mixed with the spicy-sweet-refreshing broth, perfect for slurping down! ![3-combo mulhoe with wheat noodles added](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-three-combo-solo/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-three-combo-solo-23-1exm7-m-900.webp) ++ The owner's taste is amazing!! It turns out one of my personal favorite movies was playing! I ate while healing. ++ On the other side there's an ocean view, so double the healing..~ After the noodles, I also had a bowl of rice. The warm rice grains mixed with the broth and blended coolly together, and it felt like my whole body cooled down with it. ![Empty mulhoe bowl after finishing it with rice mixed in](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-three-combo-solo/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-three-combo-solo-24-1d8eo-900.webp) In the end, I finished it all myself. It was so delicious and the atmosphere was so good that I was happy the whole time I ate! It does get a bit hot during the day! How about a cool mulhoe for lunch? With squid sashimi in it!! Ppwang Mulhoe!!
