A couple ordered the spicy chili sauce fried chicken at 10,000 won with beer, shrimp rosé spaghetti at 16,000 won and beef pilaf at 17,000 won, and the beef pilaf was their favorite. With wide spacing between tables plus baby chairs and a kids' menu, Plan A Restaurant works just as well for a date as for a family meal. ## Good to know - **Hours**: Mon, Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat, Sun 11:45–21:00 - **Break time**: Weekdays 15:15–17:00 / Weekends 15:30–17:00 - **Closed**: Every Tuesday - **Parking**: Free public lots in front of and behind the building; the community service center lot behind the building can also be used - **Location**: 4F, 1189 Huimangdae-ro, Nam-gu, Pohang-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do (the building next to the Songdo Starbucks; elevator available) - **Spicy chili sauce fried chicken**: 10,000 won - **Shrimp rosé spaghetti**: 16,000 won - **Beef pilaf**: 17,000 won - **Opened**: November 2015 - **Ordering**: Kiosk on each table - **With children**: Baby chairs, baby tableware and a kids' menu available - **Price reference**: ₩10,000 ≈ $7.2 · ₩16,000 ≈ $11.5 · ₩17,000 ≈ $12.5 (2026-09-21) *as written by the visitor on Sep 21, 2026* ![Plan A Restaurant in Songdo, Pohang, main photo](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-oceanview-spicy-chicken-beer/pohang-songdo-oceanview-spicy-chicken-beer-01-18eyt-1200.webp) ## What kind of place is Plan A Restaurant in Songdo, Pohang?

The owner-chef, with 20 years of experience, cooks by hand every day and even makes every sauce from scratch — a true local Western restaurant. ## Plan A Restaurant parking and how to find the 4th floor > Parking guide for Plan A Restaurant You can use the free public parking lots in front of and behind the building, and the community center parking lot behind the building is also available. ![Free public parking lot near Plan A Restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-oceanview-spicy-chicken-beer/pohang-songdo-oceanview-spicy-chicken-beer-04-17mkc-900.webp) ![4th-floor entrance and elevator in the building next to Songdo Starbucks](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-oceanview-spicy-chicken-beer/pohang-songdo-oceanview-spicy-chicken-beer-05-17s16-900.webp) Plan A Restaurant is on the 4th floor of the building next to the Songdo Starbucks in Pohang. There's an elevator in the building, so it should be easy for anyone with mobility issues to visit too. ## Seating, the Songdo Beach view and going with kids ![Clean interior seating at Plan A Restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-oceanview-spicy-chicken-beer/pohang-songdo-oceanview-spicy-chicken-beer-06-586w2-900.webp) ![Floor seating area at Plan A Restaurant with wide table spacing](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-oceanview-spicy-chicken-beer/pohang-songdo-oceanview-spicy-chicken-beer-07-d5xvu-900.webp) I liked the clean interior and comfortable floor seating with wide spacing between tables. Great for Pohang group gatherings, family meals, or get-togethers! There's also a baby chair and baby tableware ready, so it's a good spot to visit with kids too. ![Ocean-view seating in Pohang with the sea visible through the window](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-oceanview-spicy-chicken-beer/pohang-songdo-oceanview-spicy-chicken-beer-08-10zpe-900.webp) This ocean-view Pohang restaurant would probably look even prettier in daylight. With that wide-open sea view, it'd be perfect for a date course too! Eat at Plan A Restaurant, take a walk at Songdo Beach afterward, then hit the Starbucks right next door — highly recommend that combo ~~ ^^ You order through the kiosk set up on the table. The menu is really varied and everything looked delicious, so it was hard to decide what to get haha. One strength of Plan A Restaurant is that they have a kids' menu!!! When visiting with a child, parents often end up picking only the non-spicy bits for the kid and never getting to properly eat themselves — but with a menu the kid can actually eat, it should be really convenient. ![Cucumber pickles served as a basic side dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-oceanview-spicy-chicken-beer/pohang-songdo-oceanview-spicy-chicken-beer-09-dotu9-900.webp) Cucumber pickles served as the basic side dish. ![A glass of beer ordered with the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-oceanview-spicy-chicken-beer/pohang-songdo-oceanview-spicy-chicken-beer-10-1w6yu-900.webp) My husband had a beer ~ ## Spicy chili sauce fried chicken, 10,000 won: perfect with beer ![Spicy chili sauce fried chicken, the first dish served](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-oceanview-spicy-chicken-beer/pohang-songdo-oceanview-spicy-chicken-beer-11-et3hb-900.webp) ![Close-up of crispy fried chicken coated in spicy chili sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-oceanview-spicy-chicken-beer/pohang-songdo-oceanview-spicy-chicken-beer-12-15jel-900.webp) Spicy chili sauce fried chicken, ₩10,000. This came out first. This thing is seriously a gem!! Absolutely perfect beer food — crispy fried chicken coated generously in a chili sauce that felt a bit spicier than Shin Ramyeon-level heat. Spicy yet sweet-and-salty chicken, seriously delicious!! ![Table scene while eating the fried chicken](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-oceanview-spicy-chicken-beer/pohang-songdo-oceanview-spicy-chicken-beer-13-qatgo-900.webp) ![Table setting with spicy chili sauce fried chicken and beer](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-oceanview-spicy-chicken-beer/pohang-songdo-oceanview-spicy-chicken-beer-14-1t0sl-900.webp) ## How is the shrimp rosé spaghetti, 16,000 won? Shrimp rosé spaghetti, ₩16,000. ![A plate of shrimp rosé spaghetti](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-oceanview-spicy-chicken-beer/pohang-songdo-oceanview-spicy-chicken-beer-15-1qetf-900.webp) ![Close-up of noodles coated in rosé sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-oceanview-spicy-chicken-beer/pohang-songdo-oceanview-spicy-chicken-beer-16-17tzu-900.webp) The noodles were cooked perfectly and the portion was generous. My first bite felt a little under-seasoned, but this sauce is seriously addictive lol. They must have minced up shrimp into the sauce too — the kind of taste that makes you want to just spoon up the sauce and eat it straight, ugh. ![Scooping up a portion of shrimp rosé spaghetti](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-oceanview-spicy-chicken-beer/pohang-songdo-oceanview-spicy-chicken-beer-17-16hup-900.webp) ## The couple's top pick: beef pilaf, 17,000 won Beef pilaf, ₩17,000. ![Beef pilaf loaded with vegetables](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-oceanview-spicy-chicken-beer/pohang-songdo-oceanview-spicy-chicken-beer-18-18s2n-900.webp) ![Close-up of tender beef inside the pilaf](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-oceanview-spicy-chicken-beer/pohang-songdo-oceanview-spicy-chicken-beer-19-1iy6r-900.webp) ![A spoonful of beef pilaf lifted up](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-oceanview-spicy-chicken-beer/pohang-songdo-oceanview-spicy-chicken-beer-20-1wrqp-900.webp) The beef pilaf was our couple's top pick!! The seasoning was exactly right, and the beef was so tender we really enjoyed every bite. Tomatoes, bell peppers, onions, mushrooms — the ingredients were packed in generously, no holding back!! ## Plan A Restaurant in one line The food, the atmosphere, and the service were all satisfying, and I found myself wanting to come back whenever I want good Western food right by the sea. The menu is so varied I feel like I need to come back and work through it lol. Next time, I'm trying the chop steak.
