Visiting for dinner with her husband, the writer ordered the signature smoked tomato (₩20,000) and mackerel pasta (₩23,000) with a glass of wine and a beer, enjoying a slow meal in the quiet hall. Walk-ins without a reservation struggled to get a table, so booking ahead on Naver is recommended. ## Good to know - **Address**: 27 Mareunnae-ro, 1st floor, Unit 102, Jung-gu, Seoul, South Korea - **Hours**: Daily 11:00–21:00 - **Parking**: Building parking available; search 'Tower107' or 'Pyu' in navigation - **Smoked tomato**: ₩20,000 - **Mackerel pasta**: ₩23,000 - **Seating**: Long center table, wall-side and window seats / generous spacing between tables - **Reservation**: Naver reservation recommended; walk-ins without booking had trouble getting in during this visit *as written by the visitor on Sep 8, 2026* This time my husband and I went to Pyu Euljiro (퓨 을지로, PHEW) for dinner in Euljiro. I'd wanted to go for a while, and once I got there, the place was even bigger and prettier than it looked in photos. We ordered the smoked tomato and mackerel pasta, plus a beer and a glass of wine. Let me show you the food we tried and the vibe of the space :) ## Pyu Euljiro's location, hours, and parking - Address: 27 Mareunnae-ro, 1st floor, Unit 102, Jung-gu, Seoul, South Korea - Hours: Daily 11:00 ~ 21:00 Driving in Euljiro always makes parking a bit of a worry, but Pyu has building parking. Just search 'Tower107' or 'Pyu' in your navigation to find it. ### Getting there ![View of the building entrance area near Pyu Euljiro in Euljiro3-ga](https://img.superchart.com/images/phew-euljiro-smoked-tomato-dinner/phew-euljiro-smoked-tomato-dinner-01-1baq4-900.webp) ![PHEW sign at the entrance of Pyu Euljiro](https://img.superchart.com/images/phew-euljiro-smoked-tomato-dinner/phew-euljiro-smoked-tomato-dinner-02-m4u2c-m-900.webp) Pyu Euljiro is walkable from Euljiro3-ga Station. Since the restaurant is tucked inside the building, it's easier to find with a map if it's your first visit. As soon as we arrived, we spotted the PHEW sign at the entrance and went in. ## Interior vibe — a wide, quiet hall ![Wood-tone tables and beige-toned interior of Pyu Euljiro's hall](https://img.superchart.com/images/phew-euljiro-smoked-tomato-dinner/phew-euljiro-smoked-tomato-dinner-03-1w0mc-900.webp) ![Long center table that can seat several people](https://img.superchart.com/images/phew-euljiro-smoked-tomato-dinner/phew-euljiro-smoked-tomato-dinner-04-1d4ee-900.webp) Once inside, the space felt much bigger than it looked from outside. The wood-tone tables and chairs paired with beige accents gave it a clean, calm feel overall. There's a long table in the middle that fits several people, plus seats along the wall and by the windows. The tables weren't packed too close together either, so it was easy to talk while eating as a couple. Overall it felt quiet enough to work for a date in Euljiro, or even a blind date. ![Seating arranged along the wall and by the windows at Pyu Euljiro](https://img.superchart.com/images/phew-euljiro-smoked-tomato-dinner/phew-euljiro-smoked-tomato-dinner-05-j23fe-900.webp) ![Table setting at Pyu Euljiro with a reserved-guest name card](https://img.superchart.com/images/phew-euljiro-smoked-tomato-dinner/phew-euljiro-smoked-tomato-dinner-06-odlwy-900.webp) ### Can you visit without a reservation? I'd recommend making a reservation before you go. When we visited, every table had a card with the reserved guest's name on it, and walk-in customers without a reservation genuinely had trouble getting seated. You might make a wasted trip if you just show up, so it's worth booking through Naver reservations ahead of time. ## The menu and what we ordered ![Pyu Euljiro's menu listing pasta, risotto, and grilled dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/phew-euljiro-smoked-tomato-dinner/phew-euljiro-smoked-tomato-dinner-07-nthpz-1280.webp) The menu ranged from starters to pasta, risotto, grilled dishes, sides, and dessert. What we ordered was - Smoked tomato — ₩20,000 - Mackerel pasta — ₩23,000 those two dishes, plus a beer and a glass of wine. The smoked tomato was Pyu's signature menu item, and the mackerel pasta was also marked as a signature, so since it was our first visit, we decided to try both. ### Wine & beer ![A glass of wine and a glass of beer served first](https://img.superchart.com/images/phew-euljiro-smoked-tomato-dinner/phew-euljiro-smoked-tomato-dinner-08-pnuxx-900.webp) Our drinks came out before the food. Wine for me, beer for my husband! I usually don't order alcohol even when we go out for dinner, but something about the atmosphere that day made me want a drink. Thanks to that, we got to slowly enjoy dinner and drinks together for the first time in a while :) ## Smoked tomato — best eaten piled onto the bread ![Smoked tomato with roasted cherry tomatoes, cheese, and sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/phew-euljiro-smoked-tomato-dinner/phew-euljiro-smoked-tomato-dinner-09-m00yb-900.webp) The first dish to arrive was the smoked tomato. It had roasted cherry tomatoes and cheese on top, with plenty of sauce underneath, and bread came alongside it separately. ![Bread served alongside the smoked tomato](https://img.superchart.com/images/phew-euljiro-smoked-tomato-dinner/phew-euljiro-smoked-tomato-dinner-10-1i5pd-900.webp) At first we tried each part separately, then piled the tomato, cheese, and sauce all onto the bread — and I found that way of eating it much tastier. ![Tomato, cheese, and sauce piled onto bread](https://img.superchart.com/images/phew-euljiro-smoked-tomato-dinner/phew-euljiro-smoked-tomato-dinner-11-19rmr-900.webp) The roasted tomatoes had a hint of sweetness, and with the soft cheese and sauce added, the bread kept disappearing. It looked like a slightly small portion at first, but with the bread included, it was plenty for the two of us to share. ## Mackerel pasta — thick mackerel and rocket ![Mackerel pasta topped with rocket and grilled mackerel](https://img.superchart.com/images/phew-euljiro-smoked-tomato-dinner/phew-euljiro-smoked-tomato-dinner-12-1p4qi-1200.webp) Next was the mackerel pasta! Rocket was piled generously over an oil pasta, topped with a large piece of grilled mackerel. The menu described it as marinated mackerel with an oil pasta carrying a subtle kick of cheongyang chili salt. ![A large piece of thick, grilled mackerel](https://img.superchart.com/images/phew-euljiro-smoked-tomato-dinner/phew-euljiro-smoked-tomato-dinner-13-xtl28-m-900.webp) I was surprised at how thick the mackerel was — once I cut into it, the inside was moist and tender while the outside was golden and well-grilled. ![Mackerel flesh mixed into the noodles and rocket in the oil pasta](https://img.superchart.com/images/phew-euljiro-smoked-tomato-dinner/phew-euljiro-smoked-tomato-dinner-14-118kj-900.webp) Cutting the mackerel into small pieces and eating it with the noodles and rocket, the fish went surprisingly well with the oil pasta. This was actually the first time I'd had a pasta topped with fish, so maybe that's why the mackerel pasta was the dish that stuck with me most from this meal. ## Our honest review Pyu Euljiro was a great spot for a slow dinner and a drink with my husband after a while. When we visited, walk-in guests without a reservation had trouble getting seated, so if you're planning to go, I'd recommend booking through Naver reservations ahead of time. If you're looking for a good Euljiro restaurant for a quiet meal with a glass of wine, Pyu Euljiro is worth checking out :) ## Where it is - Pyu Euljiro (퓨 을지로) - 27 Mareunnae-ro, 1st floor, Unit 102, Jung-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 중구 마른내로 27 1층 102호 - 37.5650245, 126.9913572 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%ED%93%A8%20%EC%9D%84%EC%A7%80%EB%A1%9C/@37.5650245,126.9913572,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@weekend-spoon/phew-euljiro-smoked-tomato-dinner/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
