The instant icy, slushy broth meets fresh seafood, mulhoe’s charm snaps into focus. The bright sweet-and-sour dressing paired with ocean-fresh ingredients makes mulhoe an especially welcome meal on hot days. Crunchy veggies, chewy sashimi, and the cold, refreshing broth combine into a clean, lingering finish. Every spoonful can make you forget the heat—that’s why people crave it season after season. Here are five spots where you can taste mulhoe at its best.
Jaw-dropping seafood, Incheon Yeongjongdo ‘Seonnyeo Pung’
A beloved mulhoe destination on Yeongjongdo that’s almost always worth the wait. They’re famous for the “Emperor” mulhoe, which piles sashimi with abalone, sea squirts, sea cucumber, and baby octopus. Crushed peanuts give a toasty finish—one of this place’s signature touches.

Mulhoe with an ocean view, Pohang ‘Hwan-yeo Hoetjip’
Located in the Seolmeori district, a hub for Pohang’s food scene. The dining room is spacious, but summer lines are long. Their mulhoe broth is light and tangy, reminiscent of dongchimi (radish water kimchi), leaving a clean, sweet-and-sour finish. Peanuts sprinkled on top add a playful crunch and toasty flavor. When you order mulhoe, they even include a complimentary spicy fish stew (maeuntang) — a cozy contrast to the icy broth.
