TUESDAY · REVIEW-BASED SHORTLIST

Hi, I’m JO PIGGY. You have seen the sea. Now let your spoon join the trip.

Mulhoe mixes sliced raw seafood and vegetables with a chilled, tangy and often spicy broth. Some people finish with noodles or rice. Cold does not mean mild, so ask about heat if your tongue prefers a gentler holiday.

Our three stops fit different plans: a lake-view dining room, takeaway for your hotel, and a port-side lunch option.

Three places to consider

1. Cheongchosu Mulhoe, Sokcho main branch

The reviewed candidates' busiest mulhoe stop brings assorted seafood, a briskly chilled broth and Cheongcho Lake views. The haejeon version and the regular bowl differ, so read the menu before you order. Cool scenery, cool soup; the spice may have other ideas.

2. Sokcho Hoejangnim Takeaway Sashimi

A hotel-room plan? Reviewers liked the thick-cut fish, tidy packing and helpful service. Its separate fruit-broth mulhoe is on the menu, but the linked reviews discuss sashimi packs with vegetables and mulhoe sauce. Do not assume they describe the standalone bowl.

3. Dongmyeonghang Daege Maeul

Crab is the main attraction, but a lunch mulhoe appears on the menu. Reviews praise the generous crab-course sides and family-friendly service. The linked bloggers tasted mulhoe as part of a crab meal; the lunch-only bowl may be different, so ask before making it your whole plan.

One last bite

For a sit-down lake view, try Cheongchosu. For shoes-off hotel dining, consider Hoejangnim. For a crab meal with a mulhoe cameo, look toward the port. Pick the plan that fits your day—and your spice tolerance.

Public-review curation, not first-hand tasting. The second and third sets of blog reviews are not direct tests of standalone mulhoe. Recheck current lunch service, opening hours and menus.
