# Songdo, Pohang Western restaurant: three dishes for two at Plan A - By Pildam (https://superchart.com/en/@dinner-then-home/) - Written Sep 1, 2026 - Local places › Restaurants › Pohang, Gyeongbuk - Sponsored: This post was written after receiving a meal as an in-store sponsorship. - English edition: https://superchart.com/en/@dinner-then-home/pohang-songdo-plan-a-restaurant-chop-steak-pilaf/ - Also in: [한국어](https://superchart.com/ko/@dinner-then-home/pohang-songdo-plan-a-restaurant-chop-steak-pilaf/index.md) ## In short Plan A Restaurant is a Western restaurant on the 4th floor of a building facing Songdo Beach in Pohang, Gyeongbuk, where pasta and steak come with an ocean view. On a weekday there was no wait, and two people ordered three dishes — Plan A chop steak 120g, whole shrimp pilaf and beef tomato spaghetti, plus one orange ade — which turned out to be just the right amount. The chop steak was tender in a sweet-and-tangy barbecue-style sauce with no heat at all, so Plan A Restaurant works for a meal with kids too. ## Good to know - **Hours**: Sun–Mon 11:45–21:00 (break 15:15–17:00) - **Closed**: Every Tuesday - **Last order**: Before 20:30 - **Location**: 4th floor, 1189 Huimangdae-ro, Nam-gu, Pohang, Gyeongsangbuk-do - **Parking**: Roadside parking - **How to order**: Table kiosk - **Reservation perk**: Free side dish of your choice with a Naver reservation - **What we ordered (for 2)**: Plan A chop steak 120g, whole shrimp pilaf, beef tomato spaghetti, 1 orange ade - **Open since**: 2015 *as written by the visitor on Sep 1, 2026* ![Plan A Restaurant in Songdo, Pohang — main photo](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-plan-a-restaurant-chop-steak-pilaf/pohang-songdo-plan-a-restaurant-chop-steak-pilaf-01-do4gt-1200.webp) I went to Plan A Restaurant, a Western-style restaurant on the 4th floor of a building facing Songdo Beach in Pohang, where you can eat pasta and steak while looking out at the ocean. ## Where is Plan A Restaurant, and what are its hours? - ⏰ Sun–Mon 11:45–21:00 / break time 15:15–17:00 (closed every Tuesday) - 📍 1189 Huimangdae-ro, 4th floor, Nam-gu, Pohang-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do, South Korea - 🚘 Roadside parking If you make a Naver reservation, they give you a free coupon for one side menu, so book ahead 😁 ## 4th-floor ocean-view seats: no wait on a weekday ![The 4th-floor entrance right off the elevator](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-plan-a-restaurant-chop-steak-pilaf/pohang-songdo-plan-a-restaurant-chop-steak-pilaf-02-1vlfm-900.webp) You get off the elevator on the 4th floor and walk straight in. I visited on a weekday and got in without any wait. The hours are unusual — starting at 11:45, with last order before 20:30. Apparently Plan A Restaurant has been open since 2015. A Pohang old-timer favorite! ![Tables inside Plan A Restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-plan-a-restaurant-chop-steak-pilaf/pohang-songdo-plan-a-restaurant-chop-steak-pilaf-03-1ru0d-900.webp) ![Ocean-view seating extending to the back of the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-plan-a-restaurant-chop-steak-pilaf/pohang-songdo-plan-a-restaurant-chop-steak-pilaf-04-1x7og-900.webp) There are tables further in too, but pretty much all of them can get the ocean view :) ![The spacious hall taking up the whole 4th floor with wide table spacing](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-plan-a-restaurant-chop-steak-pilaf/pohang-songdo-plan-a-restaurant-chop-steak-pilaf-05-1lkb3-900.webp) They use the whole 4th floor, so it's spacious. The tables were spaced well apart, which made for a comfortable meal. ![Songdo Beach seen from the window with the blinds down](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-plan-a-restaurant-chop-steak-pilaf/pohang-songdo-plan-a-restaurant-chop-steak-pilaf-06-9ew8x-900.webp) You can see the beach, though the blinds seemed to be down because of the daytime sunlight. How should I put it — the windows were so wide open it felt refreshing 😁 The sea was really clearly visible. ## Plan A Restaurant's menu and table kiosk ordering ![Plan A Restaurant's menu board](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-plan-a-restaurant-chop-steak-pilaf/pohang-songdo-plan-a-restaurant-chop-steak-pilaf-07-6z2wk-900.webp) You order using the kiosk on the table :) There were so many tasty-looking menus that I had a hard time choosing 🫠 Honestly I wanted to order everything 🫢 So here's what we ended up picking!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ### What two people ordered at Plan A Restaurant - Plan A chop steak 120g - Whole shrimp pilaf - Beef tomato spaghetti - 1 orange ade ## Tasting the three dishes ![Pickled radish served as a default side](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-plan-a-restaurant-chop-steak-pilaf/pohang-songdo-plan-a-restaurant-chop-steak-pilaf-08-152fg-900.webp) The pickled radish that comes as a default side. ![A glass of orange ade that was ordered](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-plan-a-restaurant-chop-steak-pilaf/pohang-songdo-plan-a-restaurant-chop-steak-pilaf-09-sgu0a-900.webp) A cool orange ade 🍊 ![Three menus laid out on the table together](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-plan-a-restaurant-chop-steak-pilaf/pohang-songdo-plan-a-restaurant-chop-steak-pilaf-10-1c8s6-900.webp) *Whole shrimp pilaf, beef tomato spaghetti, chop steak* The dishes came out almost all at once, so there was no waiting between them, which I liked. ### Whole shrimp pilaf 🦐 ![Whole shrimp pilaf topped with cheese](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-plan-a-restaurant-chop-steak-pilaf/pohang-songdo-plan-a-restaurant-chop-steak-pilaf-11-1acse-900.webp) *Whole shrimp pilaf* Cheese was sprinkled on top, which made it even more savory 👍🏻 ![A spoonful of the whole shrimp pilaf with cheese stretching](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-plan-a-restaurant-chop-steak-pilaf/pohang-songdo-plan-a-restaurant-chop-steak-pilaf-12-jke8s-900.webp) Can you see the cheese stretching? 😋 ![Close-up of the whole shrimp pilaf](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-plan-a-restaurant-chop-steak-pilaf/pohang-songdo-plan-a-restaurant-chop-steak-pilaf-13-sccp4-900.webp) ![Shrimp and rice grains on top of the pilaf](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-plan-a-restaurant-chop-steak-pilaf/pohang-songdo-plan-a-restaurant-chop-steak-pilaf-14-1jeey-900.webp) The whole shrimp pilaf was pure savory, fragrant flavor! There was no real spiciness to it :D A taste that's just right for kids too. ![A single plump whole shrimp](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-plan-a-restaurant-chop-steak-pilaf/pohang-songdo-plan-a-restaurant-chop-steak-pilaf-15-8r453-900.webp) And the shrimp itself — plump and springy in texture 😋 ### Plan A chop steak 120g ![A plate of Plan A chop steak 120g](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-plan-a-restaurant-chop-steak-pilaf/pohang-songdo-plan-a-restaurant-chop-steak-pilaf-16-1apry-900.webp) The chop steak that had me going oh oh oh after one bite. The sauce was sweet and tangy, kind of barbecue-sauce style 👍🏻 The steak pieces were bite-sized too, perfect for popping in your mouth :) Cooked just right — not tough at all, super tender!!!! ![Chop steak meat with button mushrooms](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-plan-a-restaurant-chop-steak-pilaf/pohang-songdo-plan-a-restaurant-chop-steak-pilaf-17-pkyzv-900.webp) I'm a button mushroom lover, and eating the mushrooms together with the meat was genuinely amazing!!!!!!! ![Fries served alongside the chop steak](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-plan-a-restaurant-chop-steak-pilaf/pohang-songdo-plan-a-restaurant-chop-steak-pilaf-18-j6gox-900.webp) The fries were nicely salty and tasty too :D ![A full 120g serving of chop steak](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-plan-a-restaurant-chop-steak-pilaf/pohang-songdo-plan-a-restaurant-chop-steak-pilaf-19-ier5e-900.webp) I thought 120g might not be enough, but with 3 menus for 2 people, it turned out to be just the right amount. ### Beef tomato spaghetti 🍅 ![A plate of beef tomato spaghetti](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-plan-a-restaurant-chop-steak-pilaf/pohang-songdo-plan-a-restaurant-chop-steak-pilaf-20-1huq0-900.webp) Tomato spaghetti with beef in it. ![Spaghetti with tomato sauce and beef mixed together](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-plan-a-restaurant-chop-steak-pilaf/pohang-songdo-plan-a-restaurant-chop-steak-pilaf-21-9kggj-900.webp) The sweet-tangy taste of well-ripened tomatoes 🍅 went really well with the beef. In short: 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 ![Tomato spaghetti noodles twirled on a fork](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-plan-a-restaurant-chop-steak-pilaf/pohang-songdo-plan-a-restaurant-chop-steak-pilaf-22-1px1n-900.webp) ![Close-up of the tomato spaghetti noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-plan-a-restaurant-chop-steak-pilaf/pohang-songdo-plan-a-restaurant-chop-steak-pilaf-23-mnb7o-900.webp) The pasta noodles were also cooked just right, so it was delicious 😋 ![Pilaf served alongside the spaghetti sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-plan-a-restaurant-chop-steak-pilaf/pohang-songdo-plan-a-restaurant-chop-steak-pilaf-24-1t2nb-900.webp) And I'd recommend eating the beef tomato spaghetti sauce together with the pilaf!!!!!!! ## Is Plan A Restaurant good for a date or for kids? Eating a meal while looking out at Songdo Beach's ocean view definitely put me in a good mood, which made the food taste even better 😋 It would be a really great spot for a date or an anniversary too! And the kids ate well here too. If you're coming to Songdo in Pohang, I'd recommend having some delicious pasta and steak at 'Plan A Restaurant' :) ## Where it is - Plan A Restaurant (플랜에이레스토랑) - 1189 Huimangdae-ro, 4th floor, 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/@dinner-then-home/pohang-songdo-plan-a-restaurant-chop-steak-pilaf/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
