The segment most likely to make viewers’ mouths water is the Verified Eats — Gwangmyeong BEST 3. This episode spotlights Pohang Mulhoe House in Gwangmyeong, Gyeonggi Province. As the name suggests, mulhoe is the specialty here, and the menu ranges from assorted sashimi and perilla-leaf makhoe to Pohang-style mulhoe, sea-squirt mulhoe, and other seafood bowls.
Mulhoe is a quintessential summer dish: thinly sliced raw fish and vegetables served in a cold, sweet-and-sour broth. Ingredients and seasonings vary by region, but the signature appeal is the contrast between the lightly slushy broth and the fresh, clean texture of the fish. It’s the kind of dish people crave as early summer heats up.
Pohang Mulhoe House earns praise for exactly that balance. Naver reviewers gush that you should get a bowl before it gets hotter, and that you don’t need to go all the way to Pohang to taste great mulhoe. After trying this place, other spots don’t compare. Reviewers note the seasoning is perfectly subtle—more of a fresh sea aroma than a fishy smell—and call it refreshingly delicious, a real cool-down on a hot day.
Mulhoe’s lasting popularity isn’t just about temperature. It’s an easy, bright way to enjoy the true flavor of fresh seafood. Crisp additions like cucumber, lettuce, and perilla leaves add texture, while a chogochujang-based broth wakes up the palate. In some places, people finish it by stirring in rice or thin wheat noodles (somen).
One standout menu item is perilla-leaf makhoe. Makhoe usually features thicker-cut sashimi tossed with seasonings; wrapping it in fragrant perilla leaves amps up the aroma and umami. Sea-squirt mulhoe will also appeal to anyone who loves bold, briny ocean flavors.
Pohang Mulhoe House is open daily from 11:00 AM to 9:00 PM.
