Guk’s Eedaero Gamjatang
Even the small size of gamjatang – priced at $40 – feeds two to three people.

For years, family-run Pu Ji Mi sold mountains of jok bal (soy-braised pork hocks) in this unassuming mall. Its closure in February was mourned far and wide, but the good news is that in its place Eastwood now has its own outpost of Guk’s Eedaero Gamjatang, Jongguk Lee’s cult soup kitchen. Split a gamjatang with friends, and it’ll be rich from long-simmered pork bones and doenjang, spicy from gochugaru and gochujang and loaded with perilla, potatoes and enoki mushrooms. Add a round of ice-cold Cass lager to keep the vibes high.
