Raw fish

Pohang Mulhoe

포항물회 A thirty-year-old raw-fish house by Suyeong Paldo market in Busan, where the cold mulhoe arrives with a block of half-frozen dressing to melt over it, a whole abalone inside, and a boiling bone-and-chilli hot pot beside it for nothing.

Data as of 2026-09-30 · Published 2026-09-30 · Compiled by Gilpost

Pohang Mulhoe sits in a lane across from Suyeong Paldo market in Busan, one to five minutes on foot from exit 4 at Suyeong station: a raw-fish house built around cold mulhoe and a tank of live wild-caught fish at the door. Eight posts say it has been in this one spot for thirty years. Its namesake bowl does not arrive swimming in broth the way most do — a red block of half-frozen dressing is set beside the fish, and that melting is the broth. A whole abalone goes in, and ordering brings black sesame porridge, thin noodles, rice and a bone-and-chilli hot pot at no extra charge — alternating the icy bowl with the boiling one is half of what people write about here. Half eleven until half ten, closed weekday afternoons between three and half four. Through the summer mulhoe season it does not close at all; out of season it shuts on Tuesdays. People come in summer for the cold bowl and in winter for yellowtail and a sliced platter. The posts we read run from January to September 2026.

The basics

16 posts say it is walkable from the station.

What to order

• 포항물회18 ate it
  Pohang mulhoe₩18,000 · ₩20,000

  The reason to come, and the name over the door. It does not arrive swimming in broth like most: **the fish and vegetables come in a wide bowl with a great red block of half-frozen dressing set beside them, and that block melting is the broth.** Eleven writers single out the ice; three had never seen a mulhoe served this way. **A whole abalone goes in** — twenty of them mention it

  **The price does not agree**: eleven posts say ₩18,000, two say ₩20,000 (July and September 2026), and one September 2026 post gives ₩18,000 while adding that it looks to have gone up a thousand. Eight writers describe the order of eating and they overlap: **abalone and fish first, then the thin noodles stirred in, then rice at the end.** One calls it eating twice from one bowl. Four note that the sweetness comes from julienned pear and cucumber rather than sugar, and **three credit the shredded hot green chilli with keeping it from cloying** — one suggests saying something when you order if you are sensitive to heat

• 모둠회7 ate it
  modumhoe₩50,000 · ₩70,000 · ₩90,000

  **The sign says mulhoe, but ten of these writers came for sliced fish.** ₩50,000, ₩70,000 and ₩90,000 by size, made up from whatever came in that day — flounder, haarder and sole in February; just flounder and haarder, also February; red rockfish and ocean perch in April; wild conger, perch, largescale blackfish and sea bass later that month. **Three writers could not finish the small, two-person portion**

  Five writers describe the cut as long and thick; three say there is no fishiness to it. **Two note that ordering the fish raises the standard of everything else on the table** — the sides were good with the mulhoe, and better than good with this. Two found engawa, the fin meat, in the platter

• 전통물회 (비빔)6 ate it
  jeontong mulhoe₩18,000

  **The same price and no broth at all** — the fish is tossed in the dressing, closer to a raw-fish bibimbap. Four writers ordered one of each to compare, and all four call them two different things rather than better and worse. The abalone goes in this one too

  Two writers meet sesame oil the moment it lands; two say its real turn comes when you stir rice into what is left. One couple found they had each ordered the other's dish and **swapped** — the ice-broth camp and the tossed camp are both real. One writer says it is less a mulhoe than a raw-fish rice bowl

• 회덮밥1 ate it
  hoedeopbap₩12,000 lunch · ₩15,000

  Positioned as the lunch dish. Two posts give ₩15,000; **a January 2026 post reports a lunch set at ₩12,000 with the hot pot included**, and notes that most tables around her were having it. One writer actually ate it

  The one who ate it **did not mix it** — she prefers the fish and vegetables first and the rice after, which is why she likes that the hot pot comes too. **The sauce is not stirred in for you; it sits on the table.** A regular who comes with her parents, she finds the mulhoe too cold to want and orders this instead

• 방어 (겨울 제철)1 ate it
  bangeo

  **A winter fish, and for some people the whole reason to come.** A January 2026 post — from someone who had already eaten yellowtail several times that winter — calls this the best of them, and ate a small plate. She had booked ahead; **the fish had sold out that day and the customer just before her went without**

  Firm and glossy rather than slack, cut neither too thin nor too thick. **Two writers, in late January and late February, were told the season was over** — one leaves resolving to come back for it. A July post records the same rumour travelling the other way, that the yellowtail here is extraordinary once it turns cold. **If you are coming for it, ring about the season and the stock**

• 도다리물회·가자미물회·자연산물회named in 9
  dodari, gajami, jayeonsan mulhoe₩23,000

  **All three at ₩23,000; nine posts list them and nobody ate one.** With the two headline bowls at ₩18,000, that is where everyone goes — one writer wonders aloud whether the wild-caught version is better, and orders the standard anyway

  One writer's rule is to try a kitchen's original first, and she does. **All we know is the ₩5,000 gap** — nobody has written what you get for it

• 자연산 고급활어 (열기·가자미·돌돔·감성돔)named in 5
  jayeonsan gogeup hwaleo

  The tier above the mixed platter, and **nobody here has ordered one.** One post puts the range at ₩70,000 to ₩130,000; another prices conger eel at ₩70,000 to ₩130,000 by size. Two writers note the sea bream and perch in the tank

  **One post does record eating conger and wild filefish** as that day's catch, and describes the conger as crumbly and springy at once. Another transcribes prices for the live fish that contradict each other outright, so we have left those out as a slip of the pen

Sides, and what comes with it

• 뼈매운탕 (물회에 딸려 나옴)22 ate it
  ppyeo maeuntang₩5,000

  **Order the mulhoe and it simply arrives. Twenty-five posts mention it and nine of those are surprised by it** — they ordered a cold dish and a hot pot came with it. Six writers name the alternation, cold spoonful then hot spoonful, as the best thing about the meal

  Four writers insist it is not a token gesture — six describe real fish on the bone with big chunks of radish. One, who dislikes maeuntang when all you taste is sanshō, was glad the pepper stayed in the background. There are two versions, rockfish and bone; those who came for sliced fish **ordered the bone one separately at ₩5,000** (rice ₩1,500). One post finds Korean mint in the rockfish version. Two writers were simply too full to touch it

• 기본 반찬 (부추전·양배추 샐러드·미역국·멸치볶음·묵은지)22 ate it
  gibon banchan

  **One bowl of mulhoe still brings a row of small dishes** — one writer counts six, another eight. The recurring cast: a chive or laver pancake, cabbage salad, stir-fried anchovy and seaweed stem, seasoned aubergine, kimchi, bean sprouts, aged kimchi, seaweed soup, and a bowl of vinegared rice for making your own sushi. Three note that a fish restaurant will usually give you almost nothing with a mulhoe

  **One writer asked for a second pancake, one for more salad, and one refilled the seaweed soup three times.** Another noticed how many other tables were doing the same. One remarks that the pancake was not sitting warm from earlier but came out hot after the order. **The chilli-vinegar sauce is made in-house** — six posts describe spring onion, minced garlic and hot chilli in it, and three go further: one would buy a jar, and two report converts who normally refuse it entirely

• 흑임자죽 (검은깨죽)17 ate it
  heukimja juk

  **The first thing on the table once you order: a warm bowl of black sesame porridge.** Eighteen posts mention it and not one says a bad word. They agree on what it is for — **warming the stomach before something ice-cold arrives.** Six writers say as much in almost the same words

  One writer liked it enough to ask what was in it. Two, who say they do not care for porridge, made an exception. The posts call it two different names in Korean; it is the same bowl

• 소면13 ate it
  somyeon

  Comes with the mulhoe at no charge. Thirteen writers **stirred it in**, and eight of them at the same point: after they had eaten the fish out of the bowl. One says the result is simply cold noodles in dressing

  One found it still springy at the end; another tipped the leftovers into the hot pot instead — a different thing altogether, she says. Two point out that both rice and noodles arrive, so you can choose

• 해산물찜 (서비스 — 전복·가리비·새우·동죽)6 ate it
  haesanmul jjim

  **Order the fish and a plate of steamed shellfish appears, unbilled.** Six writers ate it and all six are taken aback that it costs nothing. What is on the plate shifts a little post to post: abalone, scallop, prawn, surf clam, whelk

  **Two writers marvel at the abalone — not chewy at all** — and one at the size of the scallop. Another, who never touches the raw sea squirt and sea cucumber usually pushed at you in a fish restaurant, was won over by having it steamed instead. One regular says two seasonal shellfish come free each time and the two change; last visit it was a stone sea squirt

• 달콤콘치즈5 ate it
  dalkom con cheese₩3,000

  A ₩3,000 add-on that **five writers ordered and all five liked.** One says she does not much care for a fish restaurant that has no corn cheese; another treats it as simply what one does here

  Less sweet than most, made with real cheese, the corn still with some bite. One writer, eating on a cool day at the end of April, was simply glad of something hot on the table

• 가자미구이 (회에 딸려 나옴)3 ate it
  gajami gui

  A grilled fish that lands on the table of anyone ordering the sliced platter. Three ate it; one picked it down to the bone

  Barely salted, by one account, who dipped it in the chilli sauce instead. Three other posts got grilled saury instead and two were too full to touch it — one came back for it deliberately, having eaten a light lunch that day

• 산낙지·통마리문어·멍게·개불·해삼1 ate it
  sannakji, munueo, meongge, gaebul, haesam₩20,000 · ₩30,000

  The things to drink over. Two posts price live octopus and whole octopus at ₩30,000, sea squirt, spoon worm and sea cucumber at ₩20,000. **One record of anyone eating them**: live octopus alongside the winter yellowtail

  Of that octopus: clean-tasting, sweeter the longer you chew, and **dipped in a little sesame oil between mouthfuls of yellowtail it reset the palate.** The other seven posts are transcribing the menu board

To drink

• 소주·맥주8 ate it
  soju maekju₩5,000

  **Each table has a call button, and there are separate buttons for soju and for beer** — two writers point them out with some delight. Eight drank with the meal, three of them at midday

  One post prices soju at ₩5,000 and picks the local Busan label, not stocked everywhere. Another ordered the moment she tasted the hot pot; a third, with high blood pressure, watched the bottle and looked away. One writer notes **a free soft drink per table**

Parking

12 posts say you can park; 6 say you cannot. We leave the disagreement standing rather than picking a side.

Parking is where these posts disagree most. Eighteen of them raise it, and they do not match. · "Supported at the tower car park in the next building" — five, two with the terms: one car per table, or ₩2,000 off with a cash payment. · "Thirty minutes covered, then ₩2,000 an hour" — two, with two more capping it at ₩20,000. · "You use the tower next door and nothing is covered: ₩2,000 for thirty minutes, ₩4,000 for an hour" — one, from February 2026. · "No car park" / "can't park" / "hard to park" — five. One advises taking any paid space you pass, since the nearby ones fill. We cannot say which of these is current. One thing does hold across all of them: the restaurant has no car park of its own and you use the paid tower next door. Whether anything is knocked off, and how much, is unsettled. If you are driving, ring and ask.

Who came, and with whom

Getting there

Getting inside

Not one post says what floor it is on. Across thirty posts there is no ground floor, no first floor, no basement, and nobody going up or down. The address carries no unit or level either. About the front there is something: the sign is big enough to find easily (one writer), it is an old sliding door (one), and a live-fish tank stands outside it (seven). Inside is tables, and a wide room. It reads like somewhere you step into straight off the lane — but nobody has written that, and a thing we infer is not a thing we counted.

Nobody has looked at whether a wheelchair can get in. Across thirty posts there is no step, no ramp, no lift. One post does contain the words "wheelchair accessible entrance" — but that writer did not see it. It sits in a run of "separate men's and women's toilets, booking, takeaway, groups welcome, wheelchair accessible entrance" followed by "parking: private car park at the rear," lifted whole from the Naver place listing. The evidence that this list is wrong is on this very page: both writers who actually looked at the toilet call it shared between men and women, and five say there is no private car park. A list wrong in two places cannot be trusted in the third. So we do not know about the door. The building is an old shopfront with a sliding door onto a lane, and the seating inside is at tables, but nobody describes getting through the entrance.

Two people looked at the toilet and both say the same thing: it is inside, and it is shared between men and women. One states it outright (September 2026); the other lists it at the end of her write-up (May 2026). The other twenty-eight never mention it. One post, though, carries the words "separate men's and women's." It sits in a line with "booking, takeaway, groups welcome, wheelchair accessible entrance" — the Naver place listing, not something that writer saw. The two who looked say shared, and shared is what we go with: where a copied list and a pair of eyes disagree, the eyes win.

No one mentioned: Second floor · In a basement · Lift to the floor · Ramp at the door · Step at the entrance · Step-free access · Accessible toilet. That is not the same as there being none — it means we could not confirm it. Worth calling ahead, and do tell us: we will put it here.

When the posts appeared

What we do not know

• The closing day changes with the season, and not knowing will cost you the trip. Four posts between 6 January and 16 April 2026 give "closed Tuesdays." From 30 April onward, eight posts say the opposite: "no closing day during mulhoe season," "no regular closing," "open all year." The switch falls at the end of April inside our window. It reads as open every day through the season and shut on Tuesdays outside it — but not one post says when the season is taken to start or end. The afternoon break splits too: fourteen posts give 15:00–16:30, three give 15:00–16:00. Six say there is no break at weekends, and one July 2026 post says there is no break at all during mulhoe season. That may also be seasonal; we could not confirm it. If you are going on a Tuesday, or between three and half four, ring first.
• The headline price splits between ₩18,000 and ₩20,000. Eleven posts give ₩18,000 for the Pohang mulhoe; two give ₩20,000 (July and September 2026). Yet the most recent post, 24 September 2026, gives ₩18,000 and adds that it looks to have gone up a thousand — the board she read had both signature bowls at ₩18,000. That the price is moving inside our window is clear; what it is today, we cannot say. Other figures hold steady: ₩23,000 for the sole, flatfish and wild-caught bowls, ₩15,000 for the rice bowl, ₩50,000/₩70,000/₩90,000 for the platter by size, ₩5,000 for the hot pot, ₩1,500 for rice, ₩3,000 for the corn cheese. One January 2026 post had a lunch set — hot pot and raw-fish rice bowl — at ₩12,000 a head, and it is the only post that mentions a lunch set at all.
