Marado Hoe Sikdang 마라도회식당

Marado Hoe Sikdang is a raw fish restaurant on Haean-ro in Buk-gu, Pohang, consistently ranked among the city's top three mulhoe (cold raw fish soup) specialists. Pohang is one of the principal port cities on Korea's east coast, with a seafood supply chain that delivers exceptional freshness, and this restaurant has built its reputation over years by focusing squarely on mulhoe. The signature 'Ultimate Master Mulhoe' arrives generously loaded with abalone, sea cucumber, and an assortment of seasonal sashimi, all submerged in a sweet-and-tangy chilled broth that delivers a refreshing contrast to the richness of the raw seafood. Every mulhoe order includes a complimentary spicy fish stew, enabling diners to alternate between the cold brightness of the soup and the warming heat of the stew within a single sitting. During winter, dried corvina (gwamegi) set menus become a major draw, adding seasonal depth to the restaurant's appeal. Hours run from 10 AM to 9 PM with a break from 3:30 to 5 PM. The parking lot directly in front is limited, so the public lot across the street is the more reliable option. For travelers including Pohang on their itinerary, this restaurant is a non-negotiable mulhoe stop.
