Pyeong Chang Tofu Berkeley 버클리 평창 순두부

I grew up in KTown Los Angeles this spot in Berkeley reminds me how lucky I was to learn about how excellent Korean food is. We love going here. Try it all. I introduced my Wife and kids to Korean food now they Love it too. For decades. Amazing staff too.

Really bad service. We had to walk to the front desk to order, ask for small dishes, and for a new plate - one of the plates were dirty! When we ordered, the server announced that he did not know the numbers in a rude way, while he could simply ask us to read the dish name. The Oakland store does a much better job at serving.

I used to go to this place because it was almost the only Korean restaurant in Berkeley when I first came here. But I don’t go anymore as of 2026. Their food isn’t better than that of the newer Korean places, and it’s more expensive.

The tofu soup in that cast iron, I dream of that, the smoky taste imparted into the silky tofu, the lip tingling chili........ well worth the somewhat pricey food.

I was craving some Korean tofu soup and decided to try this place. I had their combination tofu soup which came with beef, squid, clam and shrimp. It also came with a bowl of rice. The flavor was alright but nothing memorable.

All I could remember was that when we were there, a party of around 6 people talking extremely loud which made our dining experience miserable and unpleasant. We ended up eating as quickly as possible so we could get out of here.

I really wish i could give 5 star because the food and service deserve this. However, i could not ignore the extremely high prices on the food. Example, bulgogi dish is $42. I know this is Berkeley, but still, two main dishes, chicken wings and one Soju should not cost $178 (including the tip).
Otherwise, the food was excellent. Not crazy about the dome of crispy rice, too dry and hard to chew, even after soaking it in the tofu soup

The banchan were the highlight of the meal, the stewed potato, seasoned fishcake, and sprouts with seaweed--all delicious and fresh. The mushroom tofu stew was nice, and the galbi tang was good but not my favorite. It was savory, meaty, and salty, but too simple for my taste. The mung bean pancakes were bland, even with dipping sauce. Overall I wished I'd ordered other food--with such good side dishes the bibimbap is probably great. The prices were very high, though to be fair, the most expensive dishes serve multiple people.

The food was so disappointing and bland, it just had no flavor whatsoever. This is perhaps the worst restaurant I have been at in a while. The staff was friendly, but that’s about it.

Best Korean food in bay area. From bancai to rice crackers, I don’t think I have ever had those delicious food ever. Apparently a lot of specialty rather than supermarket brought kimchi. Soymilk cold noodles are also really good.

Soup was a quick pick up order, but quickly wash your hands in the restroom, hold it !The lavatory faucet and sink basin is an unexpected hypnosis. I'm still mesmerized. A+ for whoever chose it.

I got Uber order for bulgogi and rice 9pm. One rice had heavy cigarette smoke smell, other rice was fine. The cigarette smelling rice was disappointing I won’t be returning here. Price is not worth the taste as we taking about the bulgogi.
It’s my first time to receive rice like that it was nasty.. how it even happened..
