Arriving at 5pm meant no wait at all, and flounder mulhoe and squid mulhoe were 20,000 won each, rounded out with self-bar side dishes, squid soup, and noodles and rice mixed into the bowl. The spicy-sweet sauce mellowed as soon as the icy broth was poured in, so even a weak spice tolerance could handle it. ## Good to know - **Hours**: Sun–Thu 10:30–22:00 / Fri–Sat 10:30–23:00 - **Reservations**: Accepted - **Parking**: Free in front of the restaurant; nearby public lot when full - **Pets**: Allowed indoors, seated in a dedicated dog room - **Flounder mulhoe (chamgajami)**: 20,000 won - **Squid mulhoe**: 20,000 won - **Self bar**: Kimchi, anchovies, fish cake, sausage and other sides, plus squid soup and unlimited noodles - **Review perk**: Mini fried squid for a Naver Place receipt review *as written by the visitor on Sep 15, 2026* Today I'm introducing a Pohang favorite: Ppwang Mulhoe. If there's one dish you have to eat in Pohang, it's mulhoe (raw fish in cold, spicy broth)! There are several mulhoe specialty restaurants lined up in front of Yeongildae Beach in Pohang, and out of all of them, the one we picked was Ppwang Mulhoe. ## Where is Ppwang Mulhoe, and what about parking and hours? - Hours: Sun–Thu 10:30–22:00 / Fri–Sat 10:30–23:00 - Reservations ⭕️ - Free parking - Pets welcome (indoor OK) ![Exterior of Ppwang Mulhoe in front of Yeongildae Beach](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-yeongildae-hoemul-mulhoe-pet-room/pohang-yeongildae-hoemul-mulhoe-pet-room-01-yj4mc-900.webp) Ppwang Mulhoe, a Pohang mulhoe favorite, sits right in front of Yeongildae Beach, so it's a great stop before or after a walk along the water. ![Front entrance of the Ppwang Mulhoe building](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-yeongildae-hoemul-mulhoe-pet-room/pohang-yeongildae-hoemul-mulhoe-pet-room-02-1ka0t-900.webp) ![Street view in front of Ppwang Mulhoe](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-yeongildae-hoemul-mulhoe-pet-room/pohang-yeongildae-hoemul-mulhoe-pet-room-03-1hyib-900.webp) There's a parking area right in front of the restaurant, though it's not very big. If it fills up, there's a public parking lot nearby, so I didn't have to worry about parking. ![Parking area in front of Ppwang Mulhoe](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-yeongildae-hoemul-mulhoe-pet-room/pohang-yeongildae-hoemul-mulhoe-pet-room-04-1jffb-900.webp) ## Bringing a dog indoors, and why 5pm means no wait Ppwang Mulhoe also allows dogs indoors, so you can visit with your pup. Stepping inside, the place turned out to be quite spacious — it would work well for a group dinner too. Since we came with a dog, staff guided us to a dedicated room, so we could relax without any awkwardness. We showed up around 5pm for an early dinner and got seated with no wait at all. ## Ppwang Mulhoe menu and prices ![Ppwang Mulhoe menu board](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-yeongildae-hoemul-mulhoe-pet-room/pohang-yeongildae-hoemul-mulhoe-pet-room-05-17a6f-900.webp) Here's the Ppwang Mulhoe menu board. ![Menu listing showing the mulhoe options at Ppwang Mulhoe](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-yeongildae-hoemul-mulhoe-pet-room/pohang-yeongildae-hoemul-mulhoe-pet-room-06-tayh4-900.webp) Ppwang Mulhoe offers a wide range: squid mulhoe, flounder mulhoe, a half-and-half squid-and-flounder mulhoe, a 3-seafood combo mulhoe, plus raw fish (hoe) and boiled squid.

There was kimchi, anchovies, fish cake, sausage, and more. ![Kimchi, anchovies, and other side dishes from the self bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-yeongildae-hoemul-mulhoe-pet-room/pohang-yeongildae-hoemul-mulhoe-pet-room-08-10j16-900.webp) ![Plate of fish cake, sausage, and other self-bar side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-yeongildae-hoemul-mulhoe-pet-room/pohang-yeongildae-hoemul-mulhoe-pet-room-09-axbuk-m-900.webp) There was also warm squid soup, and it was delicious with a nice hint of spice. ![A bowl of warm squid soup](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-yeongildae-hoemul-mulhoe-pet-room/pohang-yeongildae-hoemul-mulhoe-pet-room-10-1982w-900.webp) After a bit, both mulhoe bowls we ordered arrived together. ![Two bowls of mulhoe served together at the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-yeongildae-hoemul-mulhoe-pet-room/pohang-yeongildae-hoemul-mulhoe-pet-room-11-l8c4o-900.webp) We also got fried squid from the receipt review event — crispy fried squid was the perfect side to eat alongside the mulhoe. First things first, apron on before digging into mulhoe! ![Apron worn before eating mulhoe](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-yeongildae-hoemul-mulhoe-pet-room/pohang-yeongildae-hoemul-mulhoe-pet-room-12-gfp3y-m-900.webp) Now let's actually dig in. On the left is the flounder mulhoe, and on the right is the squid mulhoe. ## How was the flounder mulhoe at Ppwang Mulhoe? First up, the flounder mulhoe. It was loaded with tender flounder sashimi. ![Flounder mulhoe loaded with sliced flounder sashimi](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-yeongildae-hoemul-mulhoe-pet-room/pohang-yeongildae-hoemul-mulhoe-pet-room-13-18art-900.webp) ![Close-up of the flounder sashimi in the mulhoe](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-yeongildae-hoemul-mulhoe-pet-room/pohang-yeongildae-hoemul-mulhoe-pet-room-14-145nm-900.webp) Mixing it well with the gochujang sauce and taking a bite, it was spicy-sweet and delicious. ![Flounder mulhoe mixed with gochujang sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-yeongildae-hoemul-mulhoe-pet-room/pohang-yeongildae-hoemul-mulhoe-pet-room-15-eabu6-900.webp) It was a touch spicy for someone like me who can't handle much heat, but since it came with a bowl of rice, I could tone down the spiciness. ## How was the squid mulhoe at Ppwang Mulhoe? ![Squid mulhoe with bouncy squid sashimi](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-yeongildae-hoemul-mulhoe-pet-room/pohang-yeongildae-hoemul-mulhoe-pet-room-16-1x90t-1200.webp) Next up, the squid mulhoe. It also came loaded with bouncy, chewy squid sashimi. The squid mulhoe was just as good a match with the gochujang sauce. This one also came with a bowl of rice on the side. ## How to eat mulhoe at Ppwang Mulhoe in 5 steps ![Guide showing how to enjoy Ppwang Mulhoe](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-yeongildae-hoemul-mulhoe-pet-room/pohang-yeongildae-hoemul-mulhoe-pet-room-17-13xl1-900.webp) How to enjoy Ppwang Mulhoe - Mix it first - Use the self bar - Add noodles - Mix in rice for a hearty finish - Pair with side dishes I followed this method myself. ![A bite of the mixed mulhoe](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-yeongildae-hoemul-mulhoe-pet-room/pohang-yeongildae-hoemul-mulhoe-pet-room-18-1pbnk-900.webp) ![Bowl of mulhoe mixed with sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-yeongildae-hoemul-mulhoe-pet-room/pohang-yeongildae-hoemul-mulhoe-pet-room-19-1plng-900.webp) After tasting it mixed first, it was time to pour in the cold broth! Pouring in the icy, slushy broth added coolness and sweetness, making the spicy-sweet flavor even better. And once the broth went in, the spiciness mellowed out, which was perfect for someone like me who can't handle much spice. ![Mulhoe with icy broth poured in](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-yeongildae-hoemul-mulhoe-pet-room/pohang-yeongildae-hoemul-mulhoe-pet-room-20-1v1oo-900.webp) ![Close-up of the broth after pouring it into the mulhoe](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-yeongildae-hoemul-mulhoe-pet-room/pohang-yeongildae-hoemul-mulhoe-pet-room-21-jyp5s-900.webp) Next, it's time to add noodles! The noodles are at the self bar, and you can take as much as you want. ![Noodles taken from the self bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-yeongildae-hoemul-mulhoe-pet-room/pohang-yeongildae-hoemul-mulhoe-pet-room-22-1a7w9-900.webp) ![Noodles added into the mulhoe](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-yeongildae-hoemul-mulhoe-pet-room/pohang-yeongildae-hoemul-mulhoe-pet-room-23-1eo3s-900.webp) Mixing the chewy noodles into the cold, spicy-sweet broth was absolutely delicious. ![Finishing the mulhoe by mixing in rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-yeongildae-hoemul-mulhoe-pet-room/pohang-yeongildae-hoemul-mulhoe-pet-room-24-125hw-900.webp) The last step for enjoying Ppwang Mulhoe best is mixing in rice! We were already full after one bowl of noodles each, but mixing in rice on top made it truly satisfying. After eating spicy-sweet, cold mulhoe at Ppwang Mulhoe, a Pohang favorite, we finished with a walk along Yeongildae Beach right out front — the perfect course.
