Since you're at the coast, you'll probably be craving cool, fresh seafood, and while walking near Yeongildae Beach this time, I found a place that was perfect for a satisfying meal. ![Introduction to visiting Ppwang Mulhoe near Yeongildae Beach](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-yeongildae-squid-mulhoe/pohang-yeongildae-squid-mulhoe-01-152pe-1200.webp) The place I visited was Ppwang Mulhoe (퐝물회), a restaurant right in front of Yeongildae Beach. Mulhoe (chilled raw seafood soup) is a familiar dish that I sometimes eat even in the city, but I planned this visit because I wanted to try it locally with a view of the sea. ![Ppwang Mulhoe restaurant opposite Yeongildae Beach](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-yeongildae-squid-mulhoe/pohang-yeongildae-squid-mulhoe-02-vho86-900.webp) ## Ppwang Mulhoe's location and atmosphere opposite Yeongildae Beach This place is directly opposite Yeongildae Beach, so it makes a nice route for a light beach walk before or after your meal. ![Restaurant location opposite Yeongildae Beach](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-yeongildae-squid-mulhoe/pohang-yeongildae-squid-mulhoe-03-1p4nv-900.webp) The sign was easy to spot even from far away, so it was easy to find without getting lost, even on a first visit. Its accessible location makes it convenient for a walking-date spot or for anyone looking for a Pohang must-visit stop. If you're driving, you can park right in front of the restaurant; if there are no spaces, you'll need to use a public parking lot. ![Parking information and surroundings at Ppwang Mulhoe](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-yeongildae-squid-mulhoe/pohang-yeongildae-squid-mulhoe-04-pm1bo-900.webp) ![Parking information and surroundings at Ppwang Mulhoe](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-yeongildae-squid-mulhoe/pohang-yeongildae-squid-mulhoe-05-18d1s-900.webp) I liked that the interior was clean overall and fairly spacious, and although I went for dinner, it was busy. Somehow, moments like that make you feel you picked a good place. The tables were clean without any stickiness, too, so I could eat comfortably. ## Unlimited side dishes and a neat table setting ![Unlimited self-service bar at Ppwang Mulhoe](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-yeongildae-squid-mulhoe/pohang-yeongildae-squid-mulhoe-06-tkvll-900.webp) Once I sat down and looked around, I found a large self-service bar set up to one side. One of this place's biggest strengths is that you can help yourself to a wide variety of side dishes as many times as you like. ![Unlimited self-service bar with varied side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-yeongildae-squid-mulhoe/pohang-yeongildae-squid-mulhoe-07-jt9l0-900.webp) At restaurants in tourist areas, you sometimes feel awkward calling staff over to ask for more side dishes, don't you? Here, the system lets you serve yourself as much as you want, so it felt easygoing. The self-service bar had plenty of somyeon (thin wheat noodles), perfect for adding generously to the mulhoe broth—great news for noodle lovers. ![Self-service-bar somyeon noodles to eat with mulhoe](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-yeongildae-squid-mulhoe/pohang-yeongildae-squid-mulhoe-08-xqi1z-900.webp) ![Self-service-bar somyeon noodles to eat with mulhoe](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-yeongildae-squid-mulhoe/pohang-yeongildae-squid-mulhoe-09-e4z6h-900.webp) There was also a whole pot of warm, refreshing squid soup, and it was just right for gently settling an empty stomach before the cold main dishes. Its clear broth was clean rather than overpowering, and I kept reaching for another spoonful throughout the meal. ![Squid soup prepared at the self-service bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-yeongildae-squid-mulhoe/pohang-yeongildae-squid-mulhoe-10-1tew8-900.webp) There were also all kinds of side dishes that went beautifully with rice, plus tteokbokki (spicy stir-fried rice cakes), a favorite for all ages, so it was fun sampling a little of this and that before the mains arrived. The tteokbokki had that subtly addictive flavor of the snack shops outside Korean schools, and it really got my appetite going. ![Side dishes and tteokbokki table setting](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-yeongildae-squid-mulhoe/pohang-yeongildae-squid-mulhoe-11-w5kpl-900.webp) The selection of side dishes was more varied than I expected, making this a substantial spread even for people with big appetites. ## Ppwang Mulhoe menu The menu was quite varied. Please see below! ![Ppwang Mulhoe menu information](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-yeongildae-squid-mulhoe/pohang-yeongildae-squid-mulhoe-12-ubky7-900.webp) ![Ppwang Mulhoe menu information](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-yeongildae-squid-mulhoe/pohang-yeongildae-squid-mulhoe-13-19gnb-900.webp) ![Ppwang Mulhoe menu information](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-yeongildae-squid-mulhoe/pohang-yeongildae-squid-mulhoe-14-1vn5x-900.webp) ## The Ppwang Mulhoe Combo and fresh squid mulhoe pairing From the many choices that day, we ordered the Ppwang Mulhoe Combo and squid mulhoe. ![Ppwang Mulhoe Combo and squid mulhoe order](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-yeongildae-squid-mulhoe/pohang-yeongildae-squid-mulhoe-15-tm7tx-900.webp) The Ppwang Mulhoe Combo is generously filled with three kinds of seafood—sea cucumber, sea squirt, and squid. It is a wonderful combination worth trying at least once for anyone who enjoys deeply briny ocean flavors. ![Ppwang Mulhoe Combo with sea cucumber, sea squirt, and squid](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-yeongildae-squid-mulhoe/pohang-yeongildae-squid-mulhoe-16-10hmp-900.webp) ![Ppwang Mulhoe Combo with sea cucumber, sea squirt, and squid](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-yeongildae-squid-mulhoe/pohang-yeongildae-squid-mulhoe-17-a0um7-900.webp) ![Ppwang Mulhoe Combo with sea cucumber, sea squirt, and squid](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-yeongildae-squid-mulhoe/pohang-yeongildae-squid-mulhoe-18-1nskk-900.webp) The large bowl came generously filled with fresh ingredients, which was visually satisfying all on its own. The pleasantly crunchy bite of sea cucumber, the fragrant sea-squirt aroma that filled the mouth, and the squid's chewiness all mingled with the broth for a range of flavors in every bite. ![Ppwang Mulhoe Combo filled with seafood](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-yeongildae-squid-mulhoe/pohang-yeongildae-squid-mulhoe-19-kshia-900.webp) The fresh squid mulhoe I chose was also easy to enjoy. The squid was tender rather than tough, making it easy to eat with the crisp vegetables and icy-cold broth. ![Squid mulhoe with icy broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-yeongildae-squid-mulhoe/pohang-yeongildae-squid-mulhoe-20-1mict-900.webp) The seasoning was neither harsh nor heavy, with just the right sweet-and-tangy flavor. Add plenty of rice or somyeon from the unlimited self-service bar, and it quickly becomes a filling meal. Also, if you join the receipt review event while dining here, you can receive fried squid on the house. ![Fried squid from the receipt review event](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-yeongildae-squid-mulhoe/pohang-yeongildae-squid-mulhoe-21-z2k2p-900.webp) Because it was fried fresh to order, the outside was crisp, the batter was not too thick, and the squid inside was plump with a nice bite. Eaten alongside the cold seafood dishes, the contrast in temperature worked surprisingly well. Take a bite of the savory fried squid and sip the tangy broth, and your mouth feels refreshed as you happily finish the meal. ## Things to check before visiting ![Ppwang Mulhoe pre-visit checklist](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-yeongildae-squid-mulhoe/pohang-yeongildae-squid-mulhoe-22-3s4ay-900.webp) Here are a few checklist items to consider before you visit. - Are you looking for a restaurant opposite Yeongildae Beach where you can walk before or after your meal? - Do you want unlimited refills of varied sides, including somyeon noodles, squid soup, and tteokbokki? - Do you prefer the Ppwang Mulhoe Combo with sea cucumber and sea squirt, or fresh squid mulhoe? - Would you like to make the most of the receipt review event and try the savory fried squid, too?
