We ordered the Ppwang Mulhoe and Half-and-Half Mulhoe, enjoying them mixed first, then with broth, somyeon noodles, and rice. Verdict: come here when you want a generous mulhoe spread with an unusually satisfying self bar. ## Good to know - **Address**: 1F, 203 Haean-ro, Buk-gu, Pohang-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do, South Korea - **Hours**: Mon–Sun 10:30–22:00 - **Last order**: 21:00 - **Ordered**: Ppwang Mulhoe, Half-and-Half Mulhoe - **Self bar**: Unlimited *as written by the visitor on Sep 10, 2026* I went for mulhoe (cold raw-fish soup), but Ppwang Mulhoe’s self bar was so extensive I wondered if it was a salad bar! I went to Pohang, the city of the sea—and surely you have to eat raw fish there, right?! So, we decided on mulhoe, and this was the place! ![Visit to Ppwang Mulhoe in Pohang](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-mulhoe-selfbar-hwangmulhoe/pohang-mulhoe-selfbar-hwangmulhoe-01-16pfr-900.webp) Naver made me mad by auto-completing it as “Pohang mulhoe,” but this is the place whose self-bar selection totally won me over! > Ppwang Mulhoe > A seafood restaurant everyone can enjoy! Address. 1F, 203 Haean-ro, Buk-gu, Pohang-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do, South Korea Hours. Mon–Sun 10:30–22:00 Last order. 21:00 ## Ppwang Mulhoe restaurant and parking lot We drove over. The parking lot was pretty pleasant too! ![Ppwang Mulhoe parking lot](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-mulhoe-selfbar-hwangmulhoe/pohang-mulhoe-selfbar-hwangmulhoe-02-18b9b-900.webp) Parking complete! Let’s head inside! ![Restaurant entrance with an unlimited self-bar sign](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-mulhoe-selfbar-hwangmulhoe/pohang-mulhoe-selfbar-hwangmulhoe-03-mx3l7-900.webp) The “unlimited self bar” sign above the entrance really catches your eye! Honestly, at this point I wasn’t expecting much from it! So what was the restaurant like?! There were plenty of seats, and it felt quite comfortable! ![Seating inside Ppwang Mulhoe](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-mulhoe-selfbar-hwangmulhoe/pohang-mulhoe-selfbar-hwangmulhoe-04-x2enf-900.webp) It is large enough that coming as a group should be no problem. ![Ppwang Mulhoe seating with a view of the self bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-mulhoe-selfbar-hwangmulhoe/pohang-mulhoe-selfbar-hwangmulhoe-05-h9bbl-900.webp) We picked seats where we could see the self bar well, haha. ## Ordering Ppwang Mulhoe and Half-and-Half Mulhoe ![Ppwang Mulhoe menu guide](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-mulhoe-selfbar-hwangmulhoe/pohang-mulhoe-selfbar-hwangmulhoe-06-19yxl-900.webp) At our table, we ordered the Ppwang Mulhoe and the Half-and-Half Mulhoe. ### Basic table setting Once you sit down, they give you a bottle of water, and there are paper cups, simple sauces, and tissues at the table. Most importantly, every seat has its own kiosk! ## What is at the unlimited self bar? We headed to the self bar I hadn’t expected much from. ![Self bar with tteokbokki ready to serve](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-mulhoe-selfbar-hwangmulhoe/pohang-mulhoe-selfbar-hwangmulhoe-07-1qlzf-900.webp) There was a proper tray of tteokbokki (spicy rice cakes). When a self bar has tteokbokki, it can be a real hit-or-miss situation, right?! Here, it had a safe, classic market-style tteokbokki flavor that nobody would dislike! There was also loads of eomuk (fish cake), so it didn’t feel lacking at all. With a budget setup, it could have been all rice cakes, but the fish cake made up a big share without us even having to hunt for it! And fried snacks! I was so happy to see my beloved gim-mari (seaweed-wrapped glass-noodle fritters), and even happier that there were chili sauce and sweet-and-spicy fried-chicken sauce for dipping, depending on your taste! ![Self bar with gim-mari and sauces](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-mulhoe-selfbar-hwangmulhoe/pohang-mulhoe-selfbar-hwangmulhoe-08-19d33-900.webp) And the stir-fried shredded potatoes that I loved so much!!! The one on the left is ham, and the one on the right is shredded potatoes. The side-dish lineup may change each time you visit, but... ![Stir-fried shredded potatoes and side-dish self bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-mulhoe-selfbar-hwangmulhoe/pohang-mulhoe-selfbar-hwangmulhoe-09-1vmrk-900.webp) ...it was varied enough that I think it could satisfy most people. From the far left here: seasoned seaweed, stir-fried eggplant, and stir-fried fish cake. There were lots of little side dishes, including kimchi! They also had somyeon (thin wheat noodles) that you could refill as much as you wanted, and I loved being able to eat noodles without holding back!!! (I had two portions of somyeon, hehe.) ![Self bar with refill somyeon noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-mulhoe-selfbar-hwangmulhoe/pohang-mulhoe-selfbar-hwangmulhoe-10-3psbk-900.webp) There were plenty of sauces to suit your taste too, so you can totally DIY your mulhoe exactly how you like it! ![Variety of seasonings for mulhoe](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-mulhoe-selfbar-hwangmulhoe/pohang-mulhoe-selfbar-hwangmulhoe-11-eo4kt-900.webp) What moved me most was the squid soup! ![Squid soup at the self bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-mulhoe-selfbar-hwangmulhoe/pohang-mulhoe-selfbar-hwangmulhoe-12-14s2o-900.webp) It wasn’t just that there was enough squid—they put in an incredible amount! ![Steaming soup with squid](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-mulhoe-selfbar-hwangmulhoe/pohang-mulhoe-selfbar-hwangmulhoe-13-1cf0u-900.webp) I poured myself a steaming bowl and dug in properly! I also loaded up nicely on side dishes, right?! ## Mulhoe, from mixed style to noodles and rice ![Ppwang Mulhoe with a full self-bar spread](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-mulhoe-selfbar-hwangmulhoe/pohang-mulhoe-selfbar-hwangmulhoe-14-107y6-1200.webp) While we were enjoying the self bar, the mulhoe arrived. The Ppwang Mulhoe had three kinds of seafood! I loved the fresh flavor from the sea squirt and sea cucumber! ![Half-and-Half Mulhoe with squid and flounder](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-mulhoe-selfbar-hwangmulhoe/pohang-mulhoe-selfbar-hwangmulhoe-15-i8nxp-900.webp) The Half-and-Half Mulhoe came with squid and flounder. If you are not keen on the oceanic aroma of sea squirt and sea cucumber, a mulhoe with this combination could be a good choice! ![Ppwang Mulhoe and Half-and-Half Mulhoe spread](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-mulhoe-selfbar-hwangmulhoe/pohang-mulhoe-selfbar-hwangmulhoe-16-111ak-900.webp) We only ordered mulhoe, but a generous full spread was complete! ![Mulhoe served with Korean snack foods](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-mulhoe-selfbar-hwangmulhoe/pohang-mulhoe-selfbar-hwangmulhoe-17-9ve48-900.webp) Even the bunsik (casual Korean snack foods) made me happy, I’m telling you?! A separate bowl of broth packed with finely shaved ice was provided, so you can enjoy the mulhoe in different ways according to your preference! ![Mulhoe with icy broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-mulhoe-selfbar-hwangmulhoe/pohang-mulhoe-selfbar-hwangmulhoe-18-fz6bu-900.webp) The kiosk explains how to enjoy it deliciously: mix it first! Make use of the self bar! Add noodles, then mix in rice for a filling finish. Let’s try it in that order?! ![Mulhoe mixed with vegetables](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-mulhoe-selfbar-hwangmulhoe/pohang-mulhoe-selfbar-hwangmulhoe-19-xylw6-900.webp) ![Ppwang Mulhoe in Pohang with mulhoe and self-bar snack foods](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-mulhoe-selfbar-hwangmulhoe/pohang-mulhoe-selfbar-hwangmulhoe-20-1xl9s-900.webp) First, I mixed it up simply with nothing extra added. There were so many vegetables, so every bite had plenty of crunch! Next, I brought over some Cheongyang chili peppers and wasabi. ![Mulhoe with added broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-mulhoe-selfbar-hwangmulhoe/pohang-mulhoe-selfbar-hwangmulhoe-21-1e28r-900.webp) It was so refreshing with the broth poured in too—I thought it would have felt like heaven if we had come on an even hotter day! ![Refreshing mulhoe](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-mulhoe-selfbar-hwangmulhoe/pohang-mulhoe-selfbar-hwangmulhoe-22-bfx0t-900.webp) ![Somyeon noodles added to mulhoe](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-mulhoe-selfbar-hwangmulhoe/pohang-mulhoe-selfbar-hwangmulhoe-23-15e8j-900.webp) Adding the noodles and eating it—yes, this is the taste!!! ![Mulhoe mixed with rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-mulhoe-selfbar-hwangmulhoe/pohang-mulhoe-selfbar-hwangmulhoe-24-38uv0-900.webp) Mixing in rice is a special treat too! I recommend Ppwang Mulhoe, a great mulhoe spot near Yeongildae in Pohang, made even more satisfying by its well-stocked self bar 🤗 ## Where it is - Ppwang Mulhoe (퐝물회) (퐝물회) - 1F, 203 Haean-ro, Buk-gu, Pohang-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do, South Korea - 경상북도 포항시 북구 해안로 203-1 1층 - 36.0648847, 129.3855326 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%ED%90%9D%EB%AC%BC%ED%9A%8C/@36.0648847,129.3855326,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@daegu-restaurant-rounds/pohang-mulhoe-selfbar-hwangmulhoe/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
