Songdo Mulhoe 송도물회

Songdo Mulhoe is a raw fish specialty restaurant in Jungang-dong, Sokcho, located near Sokcho Central Market and across from Abai Village. The restaurant centers on flounder sekoshi, thinly sliced bone-in raw fish, prepared in a distinctive style. Unlike typical mulhoe that arrives pre-dressed in broth, the dish here comes as a rice bowl topped with chili paste sauce. Diners customize their bowl by adding vinegar and chili paste from the table, then requesting ice to transform it into a chilled mulhoe. The flounder portions are generous and pair well with the fresh vegetable base, and adding rice turns the bowl into a satisfying hoe-deopbap. Ordering additional sea cucumber and sea squirt unlocks the full East Sea seafood experience, with oversized sea squirts delivering rich aroma and sea cucumber served in plentiful quantities. A maeuntang option is available for those who want to finish with a spicy fish stew, and instant noodles can be added. The miyeok-guk is cooked with just seaweed, salt, and soy sauce for a clean, straightforward flavor. Because the seasoning is self-assembled, the mulhoe can taste bland to those accustomed to pre-mixed versions, so adding chili paste and vinegar liberally is recommended for stronger flavor. The restaurant sits directly beside the ocean, and parking is available right in front, making access easy. Sokcho Central Market is within walking distance, convenient for combining a meal with a market visit.
