Pyeong Chang Tofu Berkeley 버클리 평창 순두부

If you’re craving authentic Korean comfort food, you NEED to stop by Pyeong Chang next time you’re in Berkeley, because this is some of the best korean food I’ve ever had!! Everything is made in-house with the freshest ingredients and the KIMCHI was hands down life changing ?? REALLY recommend getting the seafood bibimbap and kimchi cold noodles :’)

When you have a tofu craving, go to Pyeong Chang Tofu in Berkeley. I went here twice and met the owner and his family. Great service and food!

Very good traditional Korean food. Kinda pricey, but very good food with very traditional taste.

We were simply searching for a quick spot to grab some Korean food, but we ended up discovering an absolute gem! The bibimbap is pure gold—flavorful and incredibly satisfying. The kimchi and side dishes were generous in portion and absolutely delicious. We’ll definitely be coming back! Hands down, the best Korean food I've ever had in California. We devoured every bite!

Food is really good. Would recommend any of the tofu soups (we had the dumpling soup) and the spicy chicken bibimbap. Service was a bit slow but the people were still nice. Only complaint is the price. It’s pretty expensive compared to other similar establishments.

I took out bulgogi, soy sauce chicken, and soft tofu to treat to my American friends, and the response was good for the soy sauce chicken. I think it would have been better if the cabbage that came with the bulgogi was stir-fried. For bulgogi, we recommend a mountain lodge in San Jose.

Prices are close to extortion levels.

$42 ($55 at tax + tip) Spicy pork is just ridiculous.
It’s at least 2-3x more expensive than similar places in the bay area and LA k-town and 7x more expensive than best places in Korea.

Do they deserve such price? I think not.
This restaurant is not fancy at all.
This restaurant doesn’t have large portions, in fact the bibimbam portions were tiny.
This restaurant doesn’t have good service, the server was just throwing our food at the table and running around.
This restaurant doesn’t taste better than most places.

These restaurants should be boycotted, but sadly and unfortunately Berkeley doesn’t have other options.

I recently visited for their 2024 Berkeley Restaurant Week dinner set for two, which turned to be the best bargain comparing with the ones in the past. It came with kimchi pancake, half order of KFC wings, and a bottle of beer or Soju. However, being a long-time patron, I'm very disappointed at their Yang Nyum KFC wings that are no longer crunchy and spicy. Not sure if the chef had left or they changed the recipe, but the sauce is no longer red, thick, tangy and spicy like the way that got me hooked years ago. To me, it tastes like the sweet chili sauce used for Lumpia Shanghai, one that's available in Asian supermarket.

Taste is all right. Not the best but also not the worse.One star for its price - for a little restaurant at this place, $20 for a tuft soup and $40+ for short rib is not acceptable. See attached receipt. This is outrageous.

This place is way better than you expect, generous portions, delicious banchan, surprisingly flavorful tofu. Will be making this a regular stop whenever I'm in Berkeley.
