Ppwang Mulhoe is a mulhoe (cold raw fish soup) specialty restaurant across from Yeongildae Beach in Pohang, open daily from 10:30 to 22:00 with last order at 21:00. This is one of the few spots I've saved as a must-visit in Pohang. I genuinely only eat mulhoe when I'm in Pohang. No matter how highly rated a place in Seoul is, none of them make mulhoe as good as Pohang does... so it's always been a bit of a letdown back home. So while I was in Pohang this time, I went back to Ppwang Mulhoe, a place near Yeongildae I'd visited before. This time I went with my whole family, and everyone raved about how good it was, so I really wanted to share it with you~ ## Where is Ppwang Mulhoe, and where do you park? ![Exterior of Ppwang Mulhoe across from Yeongildae Beach](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-revisit-hwangmulhoe/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-revisit-hwangmulhoe-02-1p2es-900.webp) Ppwang Mulhoe sits right across from Yeongildae Beach, and there's a large public parking lot nearby, close to the Yeongildae Heian Café. The location is great. There's also a wide lot right in front of the restaurant, so if you drive, you can park right outside and go straight in to eat. ![Wide parking lot in front of Ppwang Mulhoe](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-revisit-hwangmulhoe/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-revisit-hwangmulhoe-03-ci8rd-900.webp) We parked right out front too! ![Pohang ocean view from in front of Ppwang Mulhoe](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-revisit-hwangmulhoe/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-revisit-hwangmulhoe-04-1b4t9-900.webp) The sea is right there in front of you like this. Isn't the view amazing?? This was my first time seeing the ocean on this Pohang trip, and it was as calm and pretty as ever. ## What is Ppwang Mulhoe like for an early dinner? ![Quiet window seats inside Ppwang Mulhoe during early dinner](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-revisit-hwangmulhoe/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-revisit-hwangmulhoe-05-1kwgg-900.webp) We came for a slightly early dinner that day. Only a few tables were seated by the window when we arrived, but as we ate, more and more people started coming in~ ![Table layout in the Ppwang Mulhoe dining hall](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-revisit-hwangmulhoe/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-revisit-hwangmulhoe-06-1ueqq-900.webp) ## What's on the self-serve bar at Ppwang Mulhoe? ![Overview of the self-serve corner at Ppwang Mulhoe](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-revisit-hwangmulhoe/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-revisit-hwangmulhoe-07-1pe7e-900.webp) One of the best things about Ppwang Mulhoe is the self-serve corner. There's a wide range of food there — salad, of course, plus tteokbokki (stir-fried rice cakes), fried snacks, quail eggs, ham and egg stir-fry, tofu salad, pan-fried tofu, and basic side dishes. A lot of people go for the tteokbokki and fried food here. ![Tteokbokki and fried food at the self-serve corner](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-revisit-hwangmulhoe/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-revisit-hwangmulhoe-08-1d370-900.webp) ![Side dishes and salad at the self-serve corner](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-revisit-hwangmulhoe/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-revisit-hwangmulhoe-09-iadtl-874.webp) ![A plate of side dishes brought from the self bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-revisit-hwangmulhoe/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-revisit-hwangmulhoe-10-3pr4k-900.webp) We loaded up a good variety from the self bar too. ## Ppwang Mulhoe menu and prices ![Menu board and price list at Ppwang Mulhoe](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-revisit-hwangmulhoe/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-revisit-hwangmulhoe-11-1lk70-900.webp) The base price for Ppwang Mulhoe is ₩25,000, while squid mulhoe and flounder mulhoe are ₩20,000. A double portion (gopbaegi) adds ₩5,000. Besides mulhoe, there's also shrimp fried rice, hoe-deopbap (raw fish over rice), and beef bulgogi rice bowl. Most people order mulhoe, but they also have squid sashimi, flounder sashimi, spring flounder sashimi, and chicken shrimp. Here's what we ordered that day. - Beef bulgogi rice bowl ₩15,000 - Flounder mulhoe (double) ₩25,000 - Pajeon (green onion pancake) ₩15,000 ## Flounder mulhoe double portion: how much fish, how it tastes The mulhoe arrived first. Since we ordered the flounder mulhoe as a double, the portion was massive. If you're in a hurry for lunch, the mulhoe comes out really quickly. ![Full spread of flounder mulhoe double portion](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-revisit-hwangmulhoe/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-revisit-hwangmulhoe-12-r1o2z-900.webp) Mulhoe comes with a sweet-and-tangy sauce, and the visual is pretty flashy. ![Flounder mulhoe served with sweet-and-tangy sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-revisit-hwangmulhoe/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-revisit-hwangmulhoe-13-pniwh-900.webp) You pour in plenty of the icy broth and mix it well. A bowl of rice comes included too, and you can add somyeon noodles from the self bar! ![Mulhoe mixed with poured icy broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-revisit-hwangmulhoe/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-revisit-hwangmulhoe-14-1cadn-900.webp) For anyone who can't eat cucumber, there's a separate no-cucumber option on the menu. I know quite a few people around me who can't eat cucumber, so this option seems really nice. ![Close-up of flounder mulhoe packed with raw fish](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-revisit-hwangmulhoe/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-revisit-hwangmulhoe-15-gf4xy-900.webp) The mulhoe was loaded with raw fish. I was so satisfied the first time I came here, and it was just as delicious this time. With the icy broth and the springy raw fish together, every bite felt like drinking in the sea..!! I can't handle spicy food at all, but this wasn't spicy at all — just refreshing. ![A bowl of mulhoe served with rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-revisit-hwangmulhoe/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-revisit-hwangmulhoe-16-6tlxo-900.webp) ## Not in the mood for raw fish? The Korean beef bulgogi rice bowl Next up, the beef bulgogi rice bowl! My mom doesn't digest raw food well, so she ordered this cooked option instead. It's loaded with meat, and the portion is quite generous. ![Beef bulgogi rice bowl loaded with meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-revisit-hwangmulhoe/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-revisit-hwangmulhoe-17-smdvd-900.webp) Stir-fried well with vegetables, the sweet sauce paired nicely with the meat, and there was no gamey smell at all — we enjoyed it to the very last bite. ![Pajeon filled with squid at Ppwang Mulhoe](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-revisit-hwangmulhoe/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-revisit-hwangmulhoe-18-1r7zg-900.webp) ## Ppwang Mulhoe's pajeon, loaded with squid Last up, the pajeon! The outside was crispy, and the inside was packed with a huge amount of squid. There's also a squid soup among the basic side dishes here that's amazing, and this pajeon is generously loaded with squid too!! ![Cross-section of a crispy fried pajeon](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-revisit-hwangmulhoe/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-revisit-hwangmulhoe-19-1a23c-900.webp) Fried crispy on the outside with a nutty flavor, and the inside stayed moist with the green onion aroma coming through. ![A bite of pajeon dipped in soy sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-revisit-hwangmulhoe/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-revisit-hwangmulhoe-20-1rec3-900.webp) Golden and pan-fried, a dip in soy sauce brought a savory, salty flavor that filled the whole mouth. ![Fried squid received as a receipt-review perk](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-revisit-hwangmulhoe/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-revisit-hwangmulhoe-21-tcqmn-900.webp) ![A plate of crispy fried squid](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-revisit-hwangmulhoe/pohang-yeongildae-mulhoe-revisit-hwangmulhoe-22-1xjdv-900.webp) And through the Naver receipt review event, you can get free fried squid.
