Three diners ordered the Plan A chop steak 240g, truffle aglio olio, and mushroom basil pesto cream risotto, and the chop steak came in a generous portion with crispy fries on the side. For pasta with a sea view in Pohang, Plan A Restaurant is a solid pick. ## Good to know - **Hours**: Mon, Wed–Sun 11:40–21:00 (last order 20:30) - **Break time**: 15:15–17:00 (said to be 15:30–17:00 on weekends) - **Closed**: Every Tuesday - **Parking**: Free public parking lots in front of and behind the building; the community service center lot at the rear can also be used - **Location**: 4F, 1189 Huimangdae-ro, Nam-gu, Pohang-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do (elevator available) - **What was ordered**: Plan A chop steak 240g, truffle aglio olio, mushroom basil pesto cream risotto, 1 can of Sprite - **Review event**: Join and receive one of three sides: black sesame fried chicken, spicy pepper fried chicken, or fried king prawns - **Opened**: Said to have first opened in November 2015 *as written by the visitor on Aug 25, 2026* Today I want to introduce Plan A Restaurant, a Pohang pasta spot with an ocean view overlooking the wide sea. ![Introduction image for Plan A Restaurant in Songdo, Pohang](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-plan-a-restaurant-truffle-pasta/pohang-songdo-plan-a-restaurant-truffle-pasta-01-1ts9o-1200.webp) ## Plan A Restaurant hours, parking and location in Songdo, Pohang - 📍Hours: Mon, Wed–Sun 11:40–21:00 (break time 15:15–17:00 / last order 20:30), closed every Tuesday.

It reportedly first opened back in November 2015. Been around a while? That checks off one basic requirement of a good restaurant, haha. There's also plenty of parking, so you don't need to worry about that. ## Is the 4th-floor restaurant easy to find? Outside and inside The outside of the shop ![Building exterior on Huimangdae-ro and the Plan A Restaurant sign](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-plan-a-restaurant-truffle-pasta/pohang-songdo-plan-a-restaurant-truffle-pasta-03-1na0m-966.webp) Since Plan A Restaurant is on the 4th floor, you might think it would be hard to find, but there's a sign guiding you, so it wasn't difficult at all. ![Entrance sign for Plan A Restaurant indicating the 4th floor](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-plan-a-restaurant-truffle-pasta/pohang-songdo-plan-a-restaurant-truffle-pasta-04-yq2h4-966.webp) ![Restaurant guide sign near the building entrance](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-plan-a-restaurant-truffle-pasta/pohang-songdo-plan-a-restaurant-truffle-pasta-05-1kmak-966.webp) Sometimes you have to walk up to the 4th floor at restaurants like this, but Plan A Restaurant has an elevator! We could go up comfortably, haha. ![Building elevator going up to the 4th floor](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-plan-a-restaurant-truffle-pasta/pohang-songdo-plan-a-restaurant-truffle-pasta-06-xsy36-966.webp) ![Hallway in front of the 4th-floor entrance to Plan A Restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-plan-a-restaurant-truffle-pasta/pohang-songdo-plan-a-restaurant-truffle-pasta-07-chzr2-966.webp) The inside of the shop ![Interior of Plan A Restaurant with wood-tone decor](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-plan-a-restaurant-truffle-pasta/pohang-songdo-plan-a-restaurant-truffle-pasta-08-3cg8w-966.webp) ![Ocean-view seating with wide-open windows](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-plan-a-restaurant-truffle-pasta/pohang-songdo-plan-a-restaurant-truffle-pasta-09-bhl5m-966.webp) True to an ocean-view restaurant, the interior had wide-open windows that felt really refreshing. And the overall wood-tone decor gave off a cozy, comfortable feeling, haha. ## Plan A Restaurant menu and the review event side dish The menu had everything from steak to pasta, pilaf, salad, and various side dishes! And the prices were really reasonable! ![Plan A Restaurant menu board listing steak and pasta](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-plan-a-restaurant-truffle-pasta/pohang-songdo-plan-a-restaurant-truffle-pasta-10-1d966-966.webp) ![Menu board listing pilaf and side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-plan-a-restaurant-truffle-pasta/pohang-songdo-plan-a-restaurant-truffle-pasta-11-1oeou-966.webp) They're also running a review event — if you take part, you get to choose one side dish from black sesame fried chicken, spicy pepper fried chicken, or king prawn fritters! ## What three people ordered: an honest review 🍴Order🍴 - ✅ Plan A chop steak 240g - ✅ Truffle aglio olio - ✅ Mushroom basil pesto cream risotto - ✅ 1 can of Sprite ### Plan A chop steak 240g with fries There were three of us eating, and we thought about ordering a side salad, but we wanted to eat a bit more meat, and once we saw that the chop steak came with fries and salad on the side, we decided to order the Plan A chop steak 240g. ![Plan A chop steak 240g served with fries and salad](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-plan-a-restaurant-truffle-pasta/pohang-songdo-plan-a-restaurant-truffle-pasta-12-xaoks-966.webp) ![Plate of chop steak cut into bite-sized pieces](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-plan-a-restaurant-truffle-pasta/pohang-songdo-plan-a-restaurant-truffle-pasta-13-1k78i-m-966.webp) Before ordering I worried it might be too small a portion, but it turned out to be really generous! The meat wasn't tough at all — it was tender, and it came already cut into bite-sized pieces, so we didn't need to cut it ourselves. And the fries were so crispy... it had that Mom Touch fried chicken chain vibe! Personally I loved it, haha. ![Chop steak plate with crispy fries](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-plan-a-restaurant-truffle-pasta/pohang-songdo-plan-a-restaurant-truffle-pasta-14-12oyx-966.webp) ### Truffle aglio olio Being a popular Western restaurant, there was a wide variety of pasta, and looking at reviews, a lot of people recommended the truffle aglio olio. So we ordered that too! ![Truffle aglio olio with garlic and tomato](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-plan-a-restaurant-truffle-pasta/pohang-songdo-plan-a-restaurant-truffle-pasta-15-1sc5y-966.webp) An oil pasta with garlic and tomato! There was even a subtle truffle aroma that made the flavor stand out even more. It could have been a bit rich, but there was some spiciness in there too that cut right through the richness! As you can see in the last photo... we scraped up every bit of sauce, haha. I get why everyone orders this one... ![Truffle aglio olio plate scraped clean of sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-plan-a-restaurant-truffle-pasta/pohang-songdo-plan-a-restaurant-truffle-pasta-16-fvweg-966.webp) ![Pasta plate nearly finished](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-plan-a-restaurant-truffle-pasta/pohang-songdo-plan-a-restaurant-truffle-pasta-17-13f3t-966.webp) ### Mushroom basil pesto cream risotto I'm personally not a huge fan of basil, but the basil pesto sauce here was genuinely delicious! ![Mushroom basil pesto cream risotto topped with mushrooms](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-plan-a-restaurant-truffle-pasta/pohang-songdo-plan-a-restaurant-truffle-pasta-18-x9tn8-966.webp) The basil aroma blended together with the mushroom, so I could eat it without any hesitation, haha. We cleaned the plate right to the end... it was really, really good. ![Table at Plan A Restaurant after finishing the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-songdo-plan-a-restaurant-truffle-pasta/pohang-songdo-plan-a-restaurant-truffle-pasta-19-dxsyt-966.webp) If you want a date by the sea in Pohang, I recommend Plan A Restaurant! ## Where it is - Plan A Restaurant (플랜에이레스토랑) - 4F, 1189 Huimangdae-ro, Nam-gu, Pohang-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do, South Korea - 경상북도 포항시 남구 희망대로 1189 4층 - 36.0354154, 129.3796437 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%ED%94%8C%EB%9E%9C%EC%97%90%EC%9D%B4%EB%A0%88%EC%8A%A4%ED%86%A0%EB%9E%91/@36.0354154,129.3796437,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@warm-rice-daegu/pohang-songdo-plan-a-restaurant-truffle-pasta/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
