Pu Ji Mi Eastwood

Forget the heavy charcoal smoke—this Rowe Street staple skips the tabletop grills for pure, unapologetic comfort fare. Eastwood’s Korean expat crowd packs the modest dining room nightly for one main event: the jokbal. Colossal, deeply savory braised pork trotters that demand a hungry entourage. The play here is going all out on a shared feast. Cover the table with crispy haemul pajeon, bubbling sundubu jjigae, and icy, fiery jjolmyeon. The servers are refreshingly blunt—they’ll actively stop you from over-ordering and drop fair warnings before the serious chili heat hits. Expect a bustling, fast-paced energy. Knock back a bottle of soju, demolish the stellar banchan, and brace yourself for an absurdly affordable cheque. The queues out the door? Completely justified.
