The soy milk noodles are delicious, thick, and nutty, with chewy noodles. The spicy beef soup is yummy too. They serve nice, fresh kimchi.
Their marinated crab is too salty. The one we had in Jeju had a nice balance of saltiness and the sweetness of the crab, which I can't taste here. At $30 for one crab, it's not worth it.
The salmon sashimi has some parts that are near the skin and tough, so it's not the soft and fatty type. This cost $50 for 17 slices. I didn't like it; I prefer Japanese sashimi slices instead.
I will be back to try their other soups next time.

Frequent diner at both branches. A place to go if you crave authentic and decent Korean dishes. It offers individual sets and options for sharing with family or in a group. We spent a lot more money this visit for a celebratory dinner. We ordered the 4-person BBQ set (comes with a well-marbled steak, beef short ribs, pork belly, sausages, fresh eel, and kimchi soup), a flatfish sashimi platter, and a bowl of our favourite Raw Fish Cold Noodles. Fresh and delicious. Will definitely return for more.

The day my friend and I went, there was a group of Korean tourists, and no BBQ was available because it was reserved for them. I wanted to try their marinated crab, so I ordered a meal. The salmon cut was great, but the rice somehow didn't taste that good. The marinated crab came with prawns too; both tasted very sticky, similar to school glue in texture, and the crab didn't taste marinated (the sauce was only drizzled on top). We also ordered Bossam, which was decent. Side dishes are refillable, but their quality was only acceptable.

It was our first visit to Pohang Seafood & Butchery. We had All-You-Can-Eat lunch, and it was truly a good deal, particularly because its spicy crab stew and soy-marinated raw crabs were very fresh. In addition, the portions were very generous. We were mainly served by Chris, who was diligent, efficient, polite, and customer-focused. Thank you, Pohang Seafood & Butchery, for serving such authentic, yummy Korean dishes at such an affordable price. We would definitely return to try your other dishes!

Will be back for the sashimi bibimbap!
The dishes we tried were generally quite tasty and very generous, with lots of extra sides. For example, there’s miyukguk (Korean seaweed/kelp soup) served with the crab lunch set and sashimi bibimbap. And a small fish with the abalone stew, I think.
I enjoyed the sashimi bibimbap the most! It's meant to be mixed with rice and a vinegary, sweet red sauce. The perilla leaves were a nice touch, really uplifted the dish for me with that unique plummy-minty taste, though it's probably an acquired taste for others as my friend did not enjoy it.
Instead, they enjoyed the raw crab, which was somewhat funky-tasting for me. The crab set also included 2 raw prawns and 2 slices of raw salmon – great value with the soup and rice with seaweed. Again, this was another acquired taste dish.
We deliberately skipped their massive set meals (priced from $170 to $300 and up) as there were only three of us. So we only ordered 4 dishes but still couldn’t finish everything. Had to take away half a seafood pancake, a bowl of rice, and some banchan.
The staff was nice enough to readily accommodate our request for containers to take away the leftovers.
They also have a sashimi cold noodle soup which seems especially appealing in this hot weather. Will return to try that and other interesting seafood dishes on their extensive menu!
