After a soak at Yangdeok Gwangcheonsu hot springs, the writer arrived on a weekday close to last order and ordered squid mulhoe at 20,000 won, flounder mulhoe at 20,000 won and abalone at 10,000 won, adding squid soup, cheongyang chili and wasabi from the unlimited self bar. The squid was tender and the flounder melted in the mouth, making Ppwang Mulhoe a good place to taste two kinds of mulhoe side by side. ## Good to know - **Hours**: Sun–Thu 10:30–22:00 (last order 21:00), Fri–Sat 10:30–23:00 (last order 22:00) - **Parking**: Free parking in front of the restaurant and along the coastal road - **Pets**: Pets welcome - **What we ordered**: Squid mulhoe 20,000 won / Flounder mulhoe 20,000 won / Abalone 10,000 won - **Self bar**: Unlimited self bar (side dishes, squid soup, cheongyang chili, wasabi and more) - **Freebie**: Fried squid for writing a review - **Ordering**: Order and pay on the tablet at your table *as written by the visitor on Sep 6, 2026* I was searching for a cool bowl of mulhoe (cold raw fish soup) after visiting Yangdeok Gwangcheonsu hot springs in Pohang, and that's how I found 'Ppwang Mulhoe.' I was curious about their distinctive squid mulhoe and unlimited self bar, so I paid a visit — and I totally understood why it's known as a mulhoe hotspot 😌 Here's my honest review after a delicious meal. - ⏰ Sun–Thu 10:30 - 22:00 (last order 21:00) - Fri, Sat 10:30 - 23:00 (last order 22:00) - 🅿️ Free parking available - 🐶 Pets welcome ## Where is Ppwang Mulhoe, and is there parking at Yeongildae Beach? ![Exterior of Ppwang Mulhoe in front of Yeongildae Beach](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-abalone-wasabi/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-abalone-wasabi-01-1x7fu-900.webp) Pohang's mulhoe hotspot 'Ppwang Mulhoe' is located right across from Yeongildae Beach. Since it's right on the shore, it's super easy to spot 🙋🏻‍♀️ ![Coastal parking area in front of Ppwang Mulhoe](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-abalone-wasabi/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-abalone-wasabi-02-112ro-900.webp) Parking was convenient — you can park right in front of the restaurant or along the coastal road. ![Wide hall seating inside Ppwang Mulhoe](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-abalone-wasabi/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-abalone-wasabi-03-o7bwf-900.webp) ![Table at Ppwang Mulhoe with sea view through the window](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-abalone-wasabi/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-abalone-wasabi-04-gqdvz-900.webp) ## What Ppwang Mulhoe feels like near last order on a weekday We visited on a weekday close to closing time, so there were barely any other customers. The interior has a wide open hall layout with plenty of room and lots of tables. The sea is visible right through the windows, so I imagine visiting during the day would let you enjoy your mulhoe with an open sea view 🙌🏻 You order and even pay through the tablet on the table, which was really convenient! ![Tablet ordering screen on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-abalone-wasabi/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-abalone-wasabi-05-1e5h8-900.webp) ## What we ordered at Ppwang Mulhoe and what it cost - Squid mulhoe ₩20,000 - Flounder mulhoe ₩20,000 - Abalone ₩10,000 ## The unlimited self bar: squid soup that goes with mulhoe ![Unlimited self bar corner at Ppwang Mulhoe](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-abalone-wasabi/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-abalone-wasabi-06-12dxb-m-900.webp) ![Side dishes prepared at the self bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-abalone-wasabi/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-abalone-wasabi-07-12cxm-900.webp) ![Self bar food display](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-abalone-wasabi/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-abalone-wasabi-08-1gioo-900.webp) ![Plate of side dishes from the self bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-abalone-wasabi/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-abalone-wasabi-09-1ib5n-900.webp) ![Various foods laid out at the self bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-abalone-wasabi/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-abalone-wasabi-10-1obsc-900.webp) ![Side dish spread brought from the self bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-abalone-wasabi/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-abalone-wasabi-11-1uzke-900.webp) The self bar had all kinds of side dishes and food ready to go, so I thought it'd be a great spot to bring kids too. ![A bowl of squid soup from the self bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-abalone-wasabi/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-abalone-wasabi-12-7bcix-900.webp) Among everything, the squid soup was seriously delicious! The rich squid broth had a spicy, savory kick that kept pulling me back for more, and eating it alongside the mulhoe that came out later was an amazing combo 👍🏻 ![Squid soup eaten alongside the mulhoe](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-abalone-wasabi/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-abalone-wasabi-13-fuqkr-900.webp) Not long after ordering, the mulhoe and abalone arrived quickly 🙌🏻 ![Two freshly served bowls of mulhoe with abalone side dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-abalone-wasabi/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-abalone-wasabi-14-qljtk-900.webp) ## Squid mulhoe, 20,000 won — you can ask for no cucumber I've had mulhoe with regular raw fish or seafood before, but this was my first time trying squid mulhoe, so I was really looking forward to it 🤤 There's a ton of squid packed in! The texture was tender yet moist, which was very satisfying. It's loaded with cucumber, pear, carrot, minced garlic, and even seaweed flakes! (If you don't like cucumber, you can ask them to leave it out when ordering.) ![Ppwang Mulhoe's squid mulhoe with cucumber and pear](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-abalone-wasabi/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-abalone-wasabi-15-1o87p-900.webp) There are several ways to enjoy the mulhoe. First, mix the fresh squid with the gochujang sauce and eat it as is ~ the chewy, springy squid, the crunchy sweet vegetables, and the tangy-sweet seasoning all hit together and really woke up my appetite 😋 Next, pour in the icy broth and eat it with rice and noodles for a spicy, refreshing bite — it was absolutely delicious 🦑 ![Squid mulhoe with icy broth poured in](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-abalone-wasabi/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-abalone-wasabi-16-nudhr-1200.webp) ## Flounder mulhoe, 20,000 won — the fish that melts away Next up was my partner's flounder mulhoe order — the squid mulhoe was already amazing, right?? But one bite of this and, whoa~~~ flounder mulhoe could be this good! I had no idea flounder could be this soft. The second it hit my mouth it practically melted 😇 It was soft yet chewy at the same time — so delicious! ![A bowl of soft flounder mulhoe](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-abalone-wasabi/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-abalone-wasabi-17-1dfgf-900.webp) ### How to add cheongyang chili and wasabi to your mulhoe broth I also tried adding the chili and wasabi from the self bar 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Ah, if you like that spicy, sharp kick, you have to try it this way too. The wasabi meeting the mulhoe broth creates a whole different flavor! I enjoyed it plain as a mixed dish first, then with cheongyang chili and wasabi added, and then with the broth poured in over noodles and rice — a very filling, complete meal! ![Flounder mulhoe with cheongyang chili and wasabi added](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-abalone-wasabi/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-abalone-wasabi-18-6waij-900.webp) ![A full mulhoe meal with noodles and rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-abalone-wasabi/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-abalone-wasabi-19-jdgxu-900.webp) ## Abalone, 10,000 won, dipped in sesame oil and salt The abalone looked fresh, with a firm, chewy, springy texture and a vibrant sea flavor. It's tasty added into the mulhoe, but dipping it fully into the sesame oil sauce was absolutely amazing!! ![Abalone dipped in sesame oil sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-abalone-wasabi/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-abalone-wasabi-20-tovf0-900.webp) ## Squid or flounder?
