Mulhoe restaurant on Saebeol-ro, Gyeyang: roe rice balls at Muirang

Looking for a good mulhoe spot in Gyeyang, I went with a friend to Muirang Mulhoerang Hyoseong Direct Branch.

I usually love cold, tangy mulhoe, so this time I picked the assorted mulhoe.

You get to enjoy several kinds of seafood at once, and with the flying fish roe rice balls and complimentary clam soup on the side, the whole meal felt substantial.

Best of all, the young owner was so friendly and attentive that we could eat comfortably the whole time.

How generous is the assorted mulhoe at Muirang Mulhoerang?

The main dish that evening was Muirang Mulhoerang's assorted mulhoe. One bowl came piled with plenty of seafood and vegetables — it looked appetizing just to see.

Mixed together, the broth was cold, sweet and tangy, and it really woke up the palate — the chewy seafood and crisp vegetables paired well. Since it wasn't just one type of seafood but a mix, there was fun in picking out different bites, and my chopsticks kept going back in while we chatted.

The broth stayed refreshing all the way to the last spoonful.

Flying fish roe rice balls to go with the mulhoe

Along with the assorted mulhoe, we also ordered the flying fish roe rice balls.

Shaping them into bite-sized rice balls ourselves, the popping texture of the flying fish roe and its nutty flavor were great. Taking a bite of rice ball in between the tangy, cold mulhoe balanced the flavors nicely.

It was fun making them one by one with my friend, and it felt more filling than eating mulhoe alone — I was glad we ordered it together.

The complimentary clam soup at Muirang Mulhoerang

The clam soup that came as a complimentary dish that day stuck with me too.

A spoonful of the warm broth had that clean, savory flavor drawn out from the clams.

Alternating between the cold assorted mulhoe and the warm clam soup, each had its own charm and they went well together.

Even though it was a complimentary dish, my friend and I kept scooping up the broth saying how good it was, and it made the whole spread feel even more generous.

What is the service like at this Gyeyang mulhoe restaurant?

At Muirang Mulhoerang Hyoseong Direct Branch, it wasn't just the food but the owner's friendly service that stood out.

The young owner took care of the little details and treated us so comfortably that we could enjoy a relaxed meal with each other.

Good food paired with good service kept me in a great mood throughout the meal.

The assorted mulhoe especially was great from start to finish, scooping up seafood and vegetables together in every spoonful.

Thanks to the cold, refreshing broth, my mouth felt clean, and the portion felt generous enough for two of us to eat slowly.

The seafood didn't repeat the same texture throughout, so there was fun in picking different pieces, and adding the flying fish roe rice ball in between brought out a nutty flavor that made the mulhoe taste different each time.

Is Muirang Mulhoerang worth it for dinner for two?

Eating the assorted mulhoe together with the flying fish roe rice balls made for a filling meal even though the dishes were cold.

Having the warm clam soup broth on top of that meant we could enjoy cold and warm dishes in turn, which I really liked. Chatting comfortably with my friend, the food disappeared quickly.

Craving mulhoe in Gyeyang, I visited Muirang Mulhoerang Hyoseong Direct Branch with a friend and left satisfied. The generous assorted mulhoe, nutty flying fish roe rice balls, and refreshing clam soup made a great combination, and with the owner's kindness on top, it was a comfortable dinner to enjoy.
