On the second day of my trip, I had spicy chop steak, carbonara spaghetti, and fried king prawns by the window; the food and beach view worked well together, though a wait formed soon after I was seated. ## Good to know - **Address**: 1189 Huimang-daero, 4th floor, Nam-gu, Pohang, Gyeongbuk, South Korea - **Plan A beef chop steak**: 120g ₩22,000; choose the original flavor or a mildly spicy version with chili oil - **Carbonara spaghetti**: ₩15,000 - **Fried king prawns**: ₩10,000 - **Lemonade**: ₩4,500 - **Parking**: During my visit, public parking lots in front of and behind the building were free to use - **View**: Songdo Beach through floor-to-ceiling windows; sea views from the terrace *as written by the visitor on Sep 6, 2026* On the second day of my Pohang trip, I stopped by Plan A Restaurant (플랜에이레스토랑), opposite Songdo Beach, for a late breakfast. It is a place where you can have Western food while looking out at the sea, and the view beyond the window stayed with me as much as the meal did. ![Ocean-view Plan A Restaurant opposite Songdo Beach](https://img.superchart.com/images/plan-a-songdo-ocean-view-pasta/plan-a-songdo-ocean-view-pasta-01-jvztl-1200.webp) ## Where is it near Songdo Beach, and what was parking like? The restaurant is on the fourth floor at 1189 Huimang-daero, Nam-gu, Pohang. During my visit, I could use the public parking lots in front of and behind the building for free, which was convenient while traveling by car. Songdo Beach is about a five-minute drive from Jukdo Market, so it was easy to include in my itinerary. ![Area around Plan A Restaurant opposite Songdo Beach](https://img.superchart.com/images/plan-a-songdo-ocean-view-pasta/plan-a-songdo-ocean-view-pasta-02-v96rh-900.webp) ![Songdo Beach view from Plan A Restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/plan-a-songdo-ocean-view-pasta/plan-a-songdo-ocean-view-pasta-03-zq60r-900.webp) ## Can you see the sea from the window, and was there a wait? Songdo Beach stretched out in full view through the floor-to-ceiling windows. The weather was clear, and I enjoyed taking in the sea. The window seats seemed to be the most popular, and although I wanted one too, I did not want to wait long during my trip. ![Restaurant window seat overlooking Songdo Beach](https://img.superchart.com/images/plan-a-songdo-ocean-view-pasta/plan-a-songdo-ocean-view-pasta-04-3045m-900.webp) Fortunately, one seat was available when I arrived, so I was seated by the window right away. Not long afterward, the restaurant filled up and a wait began. ![Window-side dining seat at Plan A Restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/plan-a-songdo-ocean-view-pasta/plan-a-songdo-ocean-view-pasta-05-1vtk6-900.webp) Before eating, I stepped out onto the terrace to look at Songdo Beach. It felt as though I was seeing the sea from closer up than through the indoor windows. ## What did I order, and how much did it cost? ![Western menu viewed at Plan A Restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/plan-a-songdo-ocean-view-pasta/plan-a-songdo-ocean-view-pasta-06-13xse-900.webp) ![Dining menu at Plan A Restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/plan-a-songdo-ocean-view-pasta/plan-a-songdo-ocean-view-pasta-07-1crcf-900.webp) I chose the chop steak and carbonara, with lemonade alongside. I added the fried king prawns later after seeing another table order them. These are the items and prices recorded in my original post. - Plan A beef chop steak, 120g: ₩22,000 - Carbonara spaghetti: ₩15,000 - Fried king prawns: ₩10,000 - Lemonade: ₩4,500 ## Did the spicy chop steak go well with the carbonara? For the beef chop steak, I could choose either the original flavor or a mildly spicy version with chili oil. Since I planned to have it with the cream-based carbonara, I chose the spicy version. It came with fries and salad, and felt like a generous main dish for two people to share. ![Beef chop steak with fries and salad](https://img.superchart.com/images/plan-a-songdo-ocean-view-pasta/plan-a-songdo-ocean-view-pasta-08-dvpib-900.webp) The beef was tender rather than tough. The mushrooms and bell peppers added texture, and the sauce had just a slight kick that kept me reaching for more. ![Beef chop steak with mushrooms and bell peppers](https://img.superchart.com/images/plan-a-songdo-ocean-view-pasta/plan-a-songdo-ocean-view-pasta-09-1vb1s-900.webp) ![Beef chop steak with mildly spicy sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/plan-a-songdo-ocean-view-pasta/plan-a-songdo-ocean-view-pasta-10-8ywfk-900.webp) ![Chop steak ordered at Plan A Restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/plan-a-songdo-ocean-view-pasta/plan-a-songdo-ocean-view-pasta-11-9z9cp-900.webp) The carbonara spaghetti had a pleasantly soft cream sauce. It was mild and smooth rather than overly thick or rich, so it was good to alternate with the spicy chop steak. ![Cream-sauce carbonara spaghetti at Plan A Restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/plan-a-songdo-ocean-view-pasta/plan-a-songdo-ocean-view-pasta-12-1itd4-900.webp) Alternating between the pasta and chop steak, then refreshing my palate with lemonade, made for a combination I enjoyed. Eating while looking out at the sea also added to my satisfaction with the meal. ![Pasta and chop steak meal with sea view](https://img.superchart.com/images/plan-a-songdo-ocean-view-pasta/plan-a-songdo-ocean-view-pasta-13-1nsed-900.webp) ## How were the fried king prawns I added? At first, I planned to order only the two main dishes, but I added the fried prawns after seeing another table eat them. ![Fried king prawns added at Plan A Restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/plan-a-songdo-ocean-view-pasta/plan-a-songdo-ocean-view-pasta-14-161gh-900.webp) The coating was not the only substantial part; the prawns were full of meat inside, giving them a plump texture. Since I usually enjoy prawns, I ate everything from the heads to the tails. ![Fried king prawns full of prawn meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/plan-a-songdo-ocean-view-pasta/plan-a-songdo-ocean-view-pasta-15-i0mig-900.webp) ![Plump fried king prawns served with the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/plan-a-songdo-ocean-view-pasta/plan-a-songdo-ocean-view-pasta-16-146ge-900.webp) ## Is it easy to pair a meal here with a beach walk? The biggest advantage for me was being able to combine a meal with a walk along Songdo Beach. It was in a location where I could eat, then immediately walk around and look at the sea. I thought it would suit a trip meal with family or friends, or a post-meal walk with a partner. ## Where it is - Plan A Restaurant (플랜에이레스토랑) (플랜에이레스토랑) - 1189 Huimang-daero, 4th floor, Nam-gu, Pohang, Gyeongbuk, 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/@window-seat-visits/plan-a-songdo-ocean-view-pasta/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
