On a rainy weekday lunch, two of us ordered beef chop steak at 22,000 won, shrimp rosé spaghetti at 16,000 won and beef cream spaghetti at 16,000 won all at once, and the portions were generous enough that three dishes never felt like too much. With the sea view, the flavors and the prices all holding up, Plan A Restaurant is an easy recommendation for a Songdo date or a family meal in Pohang. ## Good to know - **Location**: 4th floor, 1189 Huimangdae-ro, Nam-gu, Pohang, Gyeongsangbuk-do - **Hours**: 11:45 a.m. – 9 p.m. (last order 8:30 p.m.) - **Break time**: Weekdays 3:15–5 p.m. / Weekends 3:30–5 p.m. - **Parking**: Public parking lot near the restaurant (fairly large) - **What we ordered**: Beef chop steak 22,000 won, shrimp rosé spaghetti 16,000 won, beef cream spaghetti 16,000 won - **Good to know**: Self-serve pickle bar, open kitchen, partitions between tables, open since 2015 - **Price reference**: ₩22,000 ≈ $16.5 · ₩16,000 ≈ $12 (2026-09-15) *as written by the visitor on Sep 1, 2026* ![Main photo of Plan A Restaurant in Songdo, Pohang](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-rainy-day-chopsteak-pasta/pohang-songdo-rainy-day-chopsteak-pasta-01-m033l-1200.webp) I had a reason to stop by Pohang after a long while! Since I was in Pohang, I figured I should at least see the sea, so I headed to Songdo Beach — and it turned out to be right around lunchtime!! Since it was lunch, I started looking for somewhere to eat and decided on Plan A Restaurant!! ![Area around the entrance of Plan A Restaurant near Songdo Beach, Pohang](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-rainy-day-chopsteak-pasta/pohang-songdo-rainy-day-chopsteak-pasta-02-1y0d5-900.webp) ## Where is Plan A Restaurant, and where do you park? Plan A Restaurant is on the 4th floor of a building at 1189 Huimangdae-ro, Nam-gu, Pohang, and you can park at the public parking lot right near the restaurant. I parked at the public lot, and it was spacious!! It's really nice having a public parking lot right by the restaurant!! ![Public parking lot near Plan A Restaurant and the building exterior](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-rainy-day-chopsteak-pasta/pohang-songdo-rainy-day-chopsteak-pasta-03-yjkx8-900.webp) ![Way up to the 4th floor where Plan A Restaurant is located](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-rainy-day-chopsteak-pasta/pohang-songdo-rainy-day-chopsteak-pasta-04-16pn8-900.webp) Since it's on the 4th floor, I headed straight up! It seemed like it would also be great to visit after a swim at Songdo Beach at the tail end of summer!! ![Entrance of Plan A Restaurant with hours posted](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-rainy-day-chopsteak-pasta/pohang-songdo-rainy-day-chopsteak-pasta-05-1pq0d-900.webp) ## Opening hours and break time at Plan A Restaurant Plan A Restaurant is open from 11:45 AM to 9:00 PM! Last order is possible until 8:30, and the break time in between differs between weekdays and weekends! Weekdays run from 3:15 PM to 5:00 PM, and weekends from 3:30 PM to 5:00 PM, so it's good to check before you visit!! ![Entrance of Plan A Restaurant, open since 2015](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-rainy-day-chopsteak-pasta/pohang-songdo-rainy-day-chopsteak-pasta-06-1u9rv-900.webp) Among the restaurants in Songdo, Plan A has apparently held its spot since 2015 — and given how quickly the commercial area around here changes, a place that's stayed a Songdo favorite for that long earns even more trust! ![Wide view of the spacious interior of Plan A Restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-rainy-day-chopsteak-pasta/pohang-songdo-rainy-day-chopsteak-pasta-07-15sey-900.webp) ## Inside Plan A: partitioned tables and an open kitchen The interior at Plan A Restaurant is spacious enough for group gatherings, and there are partitions between seats so you can sit somewhat privately. Walking in, the space really was quite large!!! With such a spacious interior, this felt like a great Songdo, Pohang restaurant for family meals or group get-togethers too! ![Partitioned table seating at Plan A Restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-rainy-day-chopsteak-pasta/pohang-songdo-rainy-day-chopsteak-pasta-08-1xpys-900.webp) ![Window seat and interior atmosphere at Plan A Restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-rainy-day-chopsteak-pasta/pohang-songdo-rainy-day-chopsteak-pasta-09-102wl-900.webp) ![Interior of Plan A Restaurant with the open kitchen visible](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-rainy-day-chopsteak-pasta/pohang-songdo-rainy-day-chopsteak-pasta-10-1iuzi-900.webp) Especially with the partitions between tables giving a sense of privacy, I thought it'd be really convenient for dates too!! The kitchen is open-style too, which was nice!! Being able to watch the cooking process was really appealing! ![Ocean view of Songdo Beach through the window on a rainy day](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-rainy-day-chopsteak-pasta/pohang-songdo-rainy-day-chopsteak-pasta-11-5ubg8-900.webp) ## The Songdo Beach view from the fourth floor on a rainy day It was a bit of a shame that it was raining when we visited this Songdo, Pohang restaurant, but the view was really pretty!! Being an ocean-view restaurant overlooking Songdo Beach in Pohang made it even more appealing! Simple pickles were set up for you to help yourself to!! ![Self-serve pickle corner](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-rainy-day-chopsteak-pasta/pohang-songdo-rainy-day-chopsteak-pasta-12-932a2-900.webp) ![Menu board at Plan A Restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-rainy-day-chopsteak-pasta/pohang-songdo-rainy-day-chopsteak-pasta-13-6dham-900.webp) ![Menu page listing pasta and steak](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-rainy-day-chopsteak-pasta/pohang-songdo-rainy-day-chopsteak-pasta-14-h4ou6-900.webp) ![Menu items and pricing at Plan A Restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-rainy-day-chopsteak-pasta/pohang-songdo-rainy-day-chopsteak-pasta-15-18b34-900.webp) ![Table set before ordering](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-rainy-day-chopsteak-pasta/pohang-songdo-rainy-day-chopsteak-pasta-16-x9vu1-900.webp) ## What two of us ordered and what it cost Plan A Restaurant has quite a variety of menu items prepared! After thinking it over, we ordered the Plan A beef chop steak (₩22,000), shrimp rosé spaghetti (₩16,000), and beef cream spaghetti (₩16,000) all at once!! ![Table with chop steak and two pasta dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-rainy-day-chopsteak-pasta/pohang-songdo-rainy-day-chopsteak-pasta-17-9aab6-900.webp) The portions were generous, which was great!! With portions this hearty, even two big-eating guys like us had no trouble at all!! ![Shrimp rosé spaghetti topped with large shrimp](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-rainy-day-chopsteak-pasta/pohang-songdo-rainy-day-chopsteak-pasta-18-10l74-900.webp) ### Shrimp rosé spaghetti, 16,000 won First up, the shrimp rosé pasta!! I already love rosé, so hearing there was shrimp in it too made me even more curious! The shrimp weren't small either — they were nice and large!! With that much shrimp packed in, it hit the spot perfectly!! ![Close-up of shrimp rosé spaghetti noodles and sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-rainy-day-chopsteak-pasta/pohang-songdo-rainy-day-chopsteak-pasta-19-19f02-900.webp) ![Shrimp rosé spaghetti twirled around a fork](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-rainy-day-chopsteak-pasta/pohang-songdo-rainy-day-chopsteak-pasta-20-afced-900.webp) The rosé sauce had just the right balance of creaminess and tomato!! I always worry a runny sauce will separate from the noodles, but here it clung to the pasta beautifully! ![Beef cream spaghetti packed with beef](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-rainy-day-chopsteak-pasta/pohang-songdo-rainy-day-chopsteak-pasta-21-14ksk-900.webp) ### Beef cream spaghetti, 16,000 won The beef cream pasta really had a ton of beef in it! With the beef packed throughout the sauce, it was so satisfying!! It's cream-based and rich, but the texture of biting into beef here and there was great!! Among the restaurants in Songdo, Pohang, this one had not just the ocean view but the flavor to match too! ![Beef chop steak served with salad and fries](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-rainy-day-chopsteak-pasta/pohang-songdo-rainy-day-chopsteak-pasta-22-1if65-900.webp) ### Beef chop steak, 22,000 won We also ordered the chop steak at Plan A Restaurant! Even though it's beef, the price wasn't too heavy, which was nice!! The set came with salad, fries, and plenty of beef, which suited my taste even more!! The beef was cut into pieces, and every bite had just the right doneness!! Thanks to the tender texture, this felt like a flavor that pretty much anyone would like without exception! ![Cross-section of sliced chop steak beef pieces](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-rainy-day-chopsteak-pasta/pohang-songdo-rainy-day-chopsteak-pasta-23-ki400-900.webp) ![A piece of chop steak served with sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-rainy-day-chopsteak-pasta/pohang-songdo-rainy-day-chopsteak-pasta-24-1l8y4-900.webp) You can pair it with sauce depending on your taste, and it really brought out the beef flavor! It had been a while since I'd visited a Songdo, Pohang restaurant, and this felt like proper Italian food. ## Is Plan A Restaurant good for a Songdo date in Pohang? If you're heading to Songdo, Pohang for a date and want a special atmosphere, a restaurant with an ocean view like this is fantastic! The food is delicious and the prices aren't burdensome, so I think I'll be back again!! ## Where it is - Plan A Restaurant (플랜에이레스토랑) - 4th floor, 1189 Huimangdae-ro, Nam-gu, Pohang-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do, South Korea - 경상북도 포항시 남구 희망대로 1189 4층 - 36.0354154, 129.3796437 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%ED%94%8C%EB%9E%9C%EC%97%90%EC%9D%B4%EB%A0%88%EC%8A%A4%ED%86%A0%EB%9E%91/@36.0354154,129.3796437,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@checkered-tablecloth-00f5/pohang-songdo-rainy-day-chopsteak-pasta/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
