On an afternoon half-day off, I tried burrata cheese salad, truffle aglio e olio, and beef pilaf in its clean, modern space. Verdict: a satisfying, filling choice for a quiet date or get-together. ## Good to know - **Hours**: 11:45 - 21:00 - **Break time**: 15:15 - 17:00 - **Address**: 1189 Huimang-daero, 4th floor, Nam-gu, Pohang, South Korea *as written by the visitor on Sep 10, 2026* ![Exterior of Plan A Restaurant in Songdo, Pohang](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-truffle-pilaf-plan-a/pohang-songdo-truffle-pilaf-plan-a-01-b3ul4-900.webp) ![Visit to an ocean-view restaurant in Songdo](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-truffle-pilaf-plan-a/pohang-songdo-truffle-pilaf-plan-a-02-1lh5b-900.webp) ![Ocean-view space at Plan A Restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-truffle-pilaf-plan-a/pohang-songdo-truffle-pilaf-plan-a-03-78bmu-900.webp) ![View of a restaurant in Songdo, Pohang](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-truffle-pilaf-plan-a/pohang-songdo-truffle-pilaf-plan-a-04-1aqvv-900.webp) ## A Songdo ocean-view restaurant for an afternoon half-day off I visited Plan A Restaurant (플랜에이레스토랑), a lovely ocean-view restaurant in Songdo. I was deciding where to go on an afternoon half-day off, and chose Plan A because so many reviews said it had both atmosphere and great food. The clean, modern interior caught my eye the moment I stepped through the door~ The tables were nicely spaced too, making conversation easy, and I thought it would be perfect for a date or a quiet get-together. ![Modern restaurant interior](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-truffle-pilaf-plan-a/pohang-songdo-truffle-pilaf-plan-a-05-19hqj-900.webp) ![Restaurant interior with generously spaced tables](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-truffle-pilaf-plan-a/pohang-songdo-truffle-pilaf-plan-a-06-13o58-900.webp) ## From burrata cheese salad to pilaf After giving the menu lots of thought, I chose the burrata cheese salad, beef pilaf, and truffle aglio e olio. I had high expectations—the combination of three dishes sounded wonderfully varied. ![Ordered burrata cheese salad and pasta](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-truffle-pilaf-plan-a/pohang-songdo-truffle-pilaf-plan-a-07-695pv-900.webp) I also ordered an essential fizzy drink, Zero Coke~ Served in a Big Wave branded cup, it somehow felt even tastier. ![Zero Coke in a branded cup](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-truffle-pilaf-plan-a/pohang-songdo-truffle-pilaf-plan-a-08-9v1rj-900.webp) The complimentary pickles! Pickles are a must with Western food, of course~ ![Complimentary pickles before a Western meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-truffle-pilaf-plan-a/pohang-songdo-truffle-pilaf-plan-a-09-1cij4-900.webp) ![Restaurant pickles and table setting](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-truffle-pilaf-plan-a/pohang-songdo-truffle-pilaf-plan-a-10-1k6ns-900.webp) ![Table before the burrata cheese salad arrives](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-truffle-pilaf-plan-a/pohang-songdo-truffle-pilaf-plan-a-11-1reav-1200.webp) ![Table waiting for Western dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-truffle-pilaf-plan-a/pohang-songdo-truffle-pilaf-plan-a-12-19evu-900.webp) ![Restaurant table scene in Songdo, Pohang](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-truffle-pilaf-plan-a/pohang-songdo-truffle-pilaf-plan-a-13-sv7cx-900.webp) ![Plan A Restaurant before the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-truffle-pilaf-plan-a/pohang-songdo-truffle-pilaf-plan-a-14-33dia-900.webp) ![Vertical view of the restaurant table](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-truffle-pilaf-plan-a/pohang-songdo-truffle-pilaf-plan-a-15-gfwpn-900.webp) ## Burrata cheese salad that made a great appetizer The burrata cheese salad arrived first. It was a real eye-catcher from the start. A large, fresh burrata sat at one end, alongside vibrant green vegetables, tomatoes, cheese, bread, and a dressing to add a fresh tang! When I lightly cut into the top of the burrata with a knife, its soft, creamy center flowed out beautifully. Just seeing that was enough to make it feel like I had already eaten with my eyes. I tucked vegetables and cheese into the bread for bite-sized portions, and it was almost like having little sandwiches—so good. The vegetables had a crisp bite with none of that raw grassy taste, while the tomatoes burst with juice and paired beautifully with the sweet-tart sauce. Above all, the burrata's distinctive flavor was a work of art. It was not overpowering, yet it brought out the ingredients' freshness and nuttiness to the fullest. Could there be a more perfect appetizer before the main meal? ![Burrata cheese salad with fresh vegetables](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-truffle-pilaf-plan-a/pohang-songdo-truffle-pilaf-plan-a-16-3g49o-900.webp) ![Burrata cheese salad enjoyed with bread](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-truffle-pilaf-plan-a/pohang-songdo-truffle-pilaf-plan-a-17-1og65-966.webp) The beef pilaf and truffle aglio e olio I ordered arrived too~ ![Beef pilaf and truffle aglio e olio](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-truffle-pilaf-plan-a/pohang-songdo-truffle-pilaf-plan-a-18-10nk1-900.webp) ![Pasta and pilaf main dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-truffle-pilaf-plan-a/pohang-songdo-truffle-pilaf-plan-a-19-r3mkx-900.webp) ![Vertical view of truffle pasta and pilaf](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-truffle-pilaf-plan-a/pohang-songdo-truffle-pilaf-plan-a-20-3aoeg-900.webp) ## Aglio e olio with a deep truffle aroma After gently waking up my appetite with the salad, the main pasta appeared: truffle aglio e olio. A subtle, luxurious truffle aroma spread across the table. It did not smell artificial; its deep, lingering character had my anticipation for the taste at its peak before I had even started eating. The moment I twirled the perfectly cooked pasta around my fork and took a bite, I thought, ah, this is truffle. The garlic and olive oil—the essential foundation of aglio e olio—were beautifully balanced, and the added truffle oil gave the flavor a completely different depth. It lacked the heaviness or greasiness often associated with oil pasta. Instead, the sharp fragrance and abundant flavor of garlic mingled with nuttiness for a clean yet deeply savory finish. ![Truffle aglio e olio pasta](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-truffle-pilaf-plan-a/pohang-songdo-truffle-pilaf-plan-a-21-emwuh-900.webp) ![Aglio e olio with truffle aroma](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-truffle-pilaf-plan-a/pohang-songdo-truffle-pilaf-plan-a-22-1cwgj-900.webp) ![Pilaf generously filled with beef](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-truffle-pilaf-plan-a/pohang-songdo-truffle-pilaf-plan-a-23-wanuq-900.webp) ![Vertical view of beef pilaf](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-truffle-pilaf-plan-a/pohang-songdo-truffle-pilaf-plan-a-24-1e3iy-900.webp) ## Beef pilaf with smoky flavor and fluffy grains For something filling alongside the pasta, I chose the beef pilaf! It arrived with a rich, nutty aroma. The wide plate was generously filled with fluffy, well-fried rice and large pieces of beef, topped with ingredients and cheese for extra nuttiness. With a big spoonful, I found a gentle smoky flavor running through it, while every grain of rice retained the fluffy, separate texture of a fine coating. Pilaf can easily turn soggy or become unpleasantly greasy when it is not cooked well, but Plan A's beef pilaf had none of those flaws—it was clean-tasting and full of umami. The generous chunks of beef among the rice made it even more enjoyable to chew. The portion was plentiful too, and I thought it would be hard to find a better dish for a truly filling meal. The combination of burrata cheese salad, truffle aglio e olio, and beef pilaf at Plan A in Songdo was perfection itself! I would love to come back next time and try the other dishes too. ## Hours Hours: 11:45 - 21:00; break time: 15:15 - 17:00 ## Where it is - Plan A Restaurant (플랜에이레스토랑) (플랜에이레스토랑) - 1189 Huimang-daero, 4th floor, Nam-gu, Pohang, 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/@daegu-shared-spoon/pohang-songdo-truffle-pilaf-plan-a/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
