To celebrate her husband's birthday, the writer ordered three dishes — burrata cheese salad at 14,000 won, truffle aglio olio at 16,000 won and beef cream spaghetti at 16,000 won — plus a 2,000 won ciabatta add-on. Songdo draws smaller crowds than Yeongildae, so Plan A Restaurant is a good pick for a quiet ocean-view date. ## Good to know - **Address**: 4th floor, 1189 Huimangdae-ro, Nam-gu, Pohang, Gyeongbuk - **Hours**: 11:45–21:00 - **Break time**: 15:15–17:00 - **Parking**: Lot behind the building, elevator to the 4th floor - **Ordering**: Take any seat you like and order at the kiosk - **Naver Reservation perk**: One side dish of your choice - **Burrata cheese salad**: 14,000 won - **Truffle aglio olio**: 16,000 won - **Beef cream spaghetti**: 16,000 won - **Ciabatta add-on**: 2,000 won - **Hanwoo striploin steak 300g**: 49,000 won - **High chairs**: Available - **Price reference**: ₩2,000 ≈ $1.4 (2026-09-21) *as written by the visitor on Sep 21, 2026* ![Plan A Restaurant main photo in Songdo, Pohang](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-oceanview-pasta-birthday/pohang-songdo-oceanview-pasta-birthday-01-b8yny-1200.webp) Plan A Restaurant 📍Address: 1189 Huimangdae-ro, 4th floor, Nam-gu, Pohang-si, Gyeongbuk, South Korea ⏰Hours: 11:45–21:00 ✅Break time: 15:15–17:00 A few days ago we went for a run in Songdo, Pohang.

Just like us >< ## Where Plan A Restaurant is in Songdo, Pohang, and where to park ![Exterior of the building housing Plan A Restaurant, next to Songdo Starbucks](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-oceanview-pasta-birthday/pohang-songdo-oceanview-pasta-birthday-02-e5638-966.webp) Today we visited Plan A Restaurant, located in Songdo, Pohang. It's right next to the Songdo Starbucks, so it's perfect for grabbing coffee after lunch. ![Entrance area of the Plan A Restaurant building](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-oceanview-pasta-birthday/pohang-songdo-oceanview-pasta-birthday-03-1utb6-966.webp) ![Spacious parking lot behind the building](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-oceanview-pasta-birthday/pohang-songdo-oceanview-pasta-birthday-04-1m7vl-966.webp) There's a spacious parking lot right behind the building too, so no need to worry about parking. The building has an elevator, so getting up to the 4th floor is no trouble at all :) ## Inside the 4th floor: seating and the Songdo ocean view The moment you step inside Plan A Restaurant, the ocean view unfolds in front of you. Ta-da~ I don't think there's a single person who'd dislike an ocean view! ![4th-floor ocean-view interior of Plan A Restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-oceanview-pasta-birthday/pohang-songdo-oceanview-pasta-birthday-05-l8877-966.webp) Just sit at whichever seat you like and order through the kiosk. ![Dining hall interior with kiosk ordering](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-oceanview-pasta-birthday/pohang-songdo-oceanview-pasta-birthday-06-1h3bw-966.webp) ![Table seat with a baby chair set up](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-oceanview-pasta-birthday/pohang-songdo-oceanview-pasta-birthday-07-1s3yx-966.webp) There's a baby chair too, so it's great for guests with little ones~ ## Plan A Restaurant menu and prices The menu had pictures, which made ordering easy. It's divided into steaks / pastas / pilafs / risottos / salads / sides!

They also gave us water, and it was genuinely tasty water. This Songdo, Pohang spot pays attention even to the water! ## Three dishes: burrata salad, truffle aglio olio, beef cream spaghetti ![Table set with the three ordered dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-oceanview-pasta-birthday/pohang-songdo-oceanview-pasta-birthday-09-55i90-966.webp) We ordered three dishes: burrata salad, truffle oil pasta, and beef cream spaghetti. ![Burrata cheese salad with the whole cheese ball on top](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-oceanview-pasta-birthday/pohang-songdo-oceanview-pasta-birthday-10-1mfcl-966.webp) The salad came out first, and there was one whole large burrata ball sitting on top. With a portion like that, you don't feel like your money was wasted at all! ![Cross-section of the torn burrata cheese](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-oceanview-pasta-birthday/pohang-songdo-oceanview-pasta-birthday-11-o02ek-966.webp) I tore the burrata cheese apart — look how plump and delicious it looks? The ciabatta that came with it could be added for ₩2,000, and we tore it apart and stuffed it with the salad like a sandwich. ![Ciabatta stuffed with salad like a sandwich](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-oceanview-pasta-birthday/pohang-songdo-oceanview-pasta-birthday-12-6r0i7-966.webp) ![The extra ciabatta ordered on the side](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-oceanview-pasta-birthday/pohang-songdo-oceanview-pasta-birthday-13-1dq8e-966.webp) ### Why the truffle aglio olio was the top pick Next came the truffle oil pasta — this was my personal favorite! It had a fragrant truffle aroma, and it seemed like actual truffle mushrooms were mixed in too. ![A plate of truffle oil pasta](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-oceanview-pasta-birthday/pohang-songdo-oceanview-pasta-birthday-14-lv9iq-966.webp) It also had 4 big whole garlic cloves and 3 slices of tomato, making it incredibly rich and delicious. ![Truffle pasta with whole garlic cloves and tomato](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-oceanview-pasta-birthday/pohang-songdo-oceanview-pasta-birthday-15-q1v83-966.webp) ![Close-up of the truffle oil pasta noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-oceanview-pasta-birthday/pohang-songdo-oceanview-pasta-birthday-16-1kfuq-966.webp) ### Beef cream spaghetti: a proper cream pasta Next was the beef cream pasta. It's often called ragù pasta, but this one was completely a cream pasta, so if you love rich, thick cream pastas, this comes highly recommended! The cheese powder on top made it even more velvety. ![Beef cream spaghetti topped with cheese powder](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-oceanview-pasta-birthday/pohang-songdo-oceanview-pasta-birthday-17-lxbyz-966.webp) ![Close-up of the beef cream spaghetti](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-oceanview-pasta-birthday/pohang-songdo-oceanview-pasta-birthday-18-firs7-966.webp) The rich cream pasta with fluffy beef piled on top hits you with real weight and satisfaction. ![Table set with pasta and salad](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-oceanview-pasta-birthday/pohang-songdo-oceanview-pasta-birthday-19-a4cpb-966.webp) ![Birthday celebration meal spread](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-oceanview-pasta-birthday/pohang-songdo-oceanview-pasta-birthday-20-13xf9-966.webp) ![Twirling pasta around a fork](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-oceanview-pasta-birthday/pohang-songdo-oceanview-pasta-birthday-21-1syg8-966.webp) ![A bite of the rich cream pasta](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-oceanview-pasta-birthday/pohang-songdo-oceanview-pasta-birthday-22-1jvwd-966.webp) ## Is Plan A Restaurant worth it for a birthday dinner? Looking at the beautifully set-out food, I felt so happy — we came for my husband's birthday and it turned out every dish was one he loves~! A fun date with a gorgeous ocean view — I really recommend spending your birthday celebration time at a place like this haha When eating the spaghetti, you twirl it around with a fork and spoon like this — it feels different when it's this rich, doesn't it? ![Nearly empty pasta plate](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-oceanview-pasta-birthday/pohang-songdo-oceanview-pasta-birthday-23-yk4s8-966.webp) ![Plate scraped completely clean](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-oceanview-pasta-birthday/pohang-songdo-oceanview-pasta-birthday-24-1902m-966.webp) There was this much pasta, and now it's gone? It was so delicious we scraped every last bit clean haha. That's just how good it was. ## Where it is - Plan A Restaurant (플랜에이레스토랑) - 1189 Huimangdae-ro, 4th floor, Nam-gu, Pohang-si, Gyeongbuk, 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/@dongseong-dusk-bench/pohang-songdo-oceanview-pasta-birthday/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
