Me and the wifey have tried this spot on several occasions. Their kimchi pancakes are to die for. Always so flavorful and crispy, but not to the point where you feel like your teeth are losing their sturdiness. We ordered the kimchi bibimbap and the regular bibimbap with beef. So flavorful and tasty. That's always our go-to when we visit this spot. All that being said, it's the mini tofu soups that come with the bibimbap that steal the show. The tofu soup is so tasty, flavorful, and warm that it heals the soul. I always bring my friends here when they're visiting from out of town. 10/10. The staff is exceptional, as always. Will continue to come back.
We came here a couple months ago for a weekday dinner with a larger group, and were seated almost immediately! We ordered the seafood pancake ($25.99) and bossam ($47.99). The seafood pancake was decent, but wasn't anything too mindblowing. It was thinner than expected and I wish there had been a little more seafood, since the texture and flavor reminded us more of scallion pancakes That said, it had a nice crispy texture! The bossam was solid! It came with kimchi instead of the more traditional lettuce, along with crispy rice and tofu soup. I really liked how the tender pork belly paired with the crispy rice, and the tofu soup was flavorful and comforting, making it perfect for the rainy day. I would definitely want to come back and try more of their tofu soups since that's what they're known for. Overall, a solid Korean spot in Berkeley and worth checking out if you're in the area! The restaurant is spacious and service was pretty fast. There's street parking available nearby, and they also have another location in Oakland.
The sign on the building says "Korean Comfort Food" and it was. Peter helped me choose between varied menu items. The original soup with tofu was rich and flavorful with a generous serving of pillowy soft tofu. The kimchi was the star of the meal with an appetizer of kimchi and cooked seasonal veggies arriving before my entree. Fantastic flavors, fresh ingredients, so many vegetarian options and great atmosphere. I will be back to try more dishes, including the bulgogi and to buy more kimchi to go. https://www.kqed.org/checkplease/23753/check-please-bay-area-reviews-fox-tale-fermentation-project-the-bywater-pyeong-chang-tofu-house
Authentic Korean food that's close to the highway? Yes, please!!!! This spot delivers on everything from the tasty side dishes (kimchi ) to the luscious soft tofu soup and spicy chicken bibimbop--if you need some Korean comfort food, stop here and put a smile on your face!
Felt very welcoming and the service was very friendly! The portions sizes were honestly good. The food was very good as well. The ambience of this place is calm. Would come back for sure.
Pyeong Chang Tofu has a welcoming environment with plenty of indoor seating. You are greeted right away when you walk in and you can place an order within minutes. As a group of 2, we decided to share the kimchi pancake appetizer that came with kimchi and various banchan. The pancake was delicious, savory, cheesy and a great addition with the dipping sauce. I also appreciated the kimchi that paired nicely together with the pancake. For the main, I ordered the spicy chicken bibimbap. Here, you can adjust your spice tolerance to preference - my tolerance is high but I decided to go for the medium level. The bibimbap came out in a hot and sizzling dish so just be careful if you're sensitive to hot foods! After waiting for it to cool down a bit, I mixed the layers around and was happy to get the crunchy rice at the bottom of the dish. The chicken was a good balance of spicy but not too overpowering. Depending on the preparation, you might be used to having bibimbap with sauce that you mix in, but this variation already has everything combined within the pot. It also comes with a small side of tofu soup, which was piping hot but so worth it as it was spicy and comforting. I really enjoyed all of the bold flavors with each dish and I'm excited to come back again to try something new!
Kimchi Pancake: Crispy on the edges, perfectly savory, and packed with flavor, especially dipped in the accompanying sauce. Korean Fried Chicken: Incredibly crunchy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and glazed to perfection. Galbi (Short Ribs): Tender, flavorful, and wonderfully savory with that classic sizzling-plate goodness. Everything was 5-star quality from start to finish!
Solid Korean restaurant with locations in Berkeley and Oakland! This Berkeley location is decently spacious with fast service. We got there at around 7 pm on a weekday and were seated immeadiately as a party of 6. We weren't very hungry so we ordered their Seafood Pancake and Bossam. Their seafood pancake was okay. It reminded me more of a scallion pancake due to it being quite thin and not having much seafood in it. Their bossam was pretty good. It came with kimchi, tofu soup, and crispy rice! I like these additions a lot and it left us all feeling satisfied. I feel like the pork belly itself was not super outstanding, but solid among the restaurants in Berkeley! I'd recommend this restaurant to those looking for a nice Korean spot in Berkeley. I'd also love to come back to try more of their dishes, especially those with their kimchi or crispy rice!
This place is an absolute gem among gems. Every single item that we had was incredibly tasty. Just coming back from Korea, I didn't think I would get something that would blow me away this soon! The seafood pancake was the perfect balance of crispy and fluffy. Their Kimchi was so good, I had to take some to go. Their chicken was incredibly crispy, despite being completely covered with sauce. The Yulmoo Kimchi Naeng Myun was incredibly tasty and hit the spot! Service was very attentive, but not overbearing at all. The restaurant overall was very cute, clean, and they had two dining areas to take account of big parties and regular diners. Very much enjoyed this place, it is a must go to imo.
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.

The kimchi pancake was crispy and flavorful, the bibimbap came out perfectly sizzling, and the tofu soup was rich and comforting. They also give everyone complimentary japchae to try, which was such a nice touch, and the banchan spread was huge. Generous portions, great flavors, and definitely a spot I'd come back to!!! read more

Pyeong Chang is incredibly delicious every single time. The kimchi and seafood pancakes are SO consistently good, and so are the bibimbaps and the tofu soups. On top of the delicious food, the vibes are cozy and the service is 1000/10. read more

I came here with my sister and it honestly has became our favorite korean restaurant! the banchans are so delicious and you get a wide variety you don't typically see in any other korean restaurants. We got the kimchi pancake, braised spicy pork and kimchi tofu soup and everything was so good. The kimchi pancake was so crispy, pork was extremely flavorful and the soup was so hearty. And on top of the incredible food, our server was also extremely kind and attentive. Also, the restaurant is very spacious and food came out very quickly. Will definitely be coming back here with our friends next time because portions were huge! read more

I came to have an early dinner with a friend last week. I'd only had Korean food a couple of other times (this might signal my enthusiasm for the cuisine) and was so disappointed it was erased from my memory. This one will stick for sure! We had original fried chicken and soy sauce with garlic. I personally liked the original the best - it came out hot and crispy but not so hot it burns your tongue :) The best parts were the pickled daikon and the excellent service! Everyone was so nice and on top of things, the staff noticed how much I loved the daikon and kept bringing more. I went to an upscale KBBQ place last night and after having dined at Pyeong Chang, I was sorely disappointed by the other place! Pyeong Chang takes the cake so far! The daikon here packs strong pickled punch!! F and I ended up playing chopstick wars over them because we both loved them so much! Looking forward to trying all their yummy appetizers! read more

Unique menu with lots of different options (options like soy milk soba noodles which u don't see too often) Also so many vegetarian / vegan options, and our waiter was well versed on what was veggie friendly which I appreciated. I picked the stone tofu bibimbap (+$1 for the hot stone, but the crispy rice is worth it!) and asked for no egg. They put fried tofu on it along with various veggies, like bean sprouts and carrots. The dish also came with vegan soft tofu soup, and you could choose the spice level. The tea was complimentary and had a great earthy flavor. Banchan was also delicious and vegan except for the kimchi which had fish sauce. We found free parking on University after 6 pm, and made reservations, but not too busy on summer weekdays in the evening since most of the Cal students are gone. Very pretty and clean interior with to-go boxes you could grab yourself, no need to wait for the waiter! Gratuity is automatically added for parties more than 5. read more

Deeeelicious! We came in around 7pm on a Wednesday night and did not have to wait long before getting seated. It was warm and cozy inside. I ordered the kong guksu because I love all things soy and it did not disappoint! It comes with salt on the side for you to add and adjust to your liking. The broth was nutty, thick and overall delicious. My boyfriend got a seafood tofu soup that came with an egg and crispy rice! The rice was a fun little bonus we weren't expecting! Our server (seemed like the owner perhaps) had great customer service so it was we left with a full belly and smiles on our faces! read more

I've been here two weeks in a row now. Very short wait times both times. A pretty good list of dish options to select from including various tofu and wing options. The restaurant is fairly quiet not loud. Food is all cooked and brought out to your table. Tofu bowls are all served in stone bowls and come out boiling hot! Side dishes are included with all food orders. Tea is served upon request. All food is served nice and hot. read more

This Korean restaurant is a cozy spot that serves delicious kitchen-cooked dishes, no BBQ grills at the table. I like this because I can just sit back, relax, and enjoy the food without any hassle of cooking myself. Plus, it means I won't have to worry about leaving the restaurant smelling smoky and BBQ-y. Parking was fairly easy to find on the street. The food was very good! We tried the original and shoyu chicken wings, and the latter was our favorite. The bulgogi and the soft tofu soup were also really tasty. They have a good selection of bonchons. The only thing that could be improved is the service. It was a bit hard to get the server's attention, and when they did come over, they seemed a bit hostile. It was a bit off-putting, but overall, it was still a good dining experience. read more
Definitely would come back again! The tofu stew here is top notch--the flavor profile here is strong, unlike some places. The ban chan here is also my all time favorite, everything was super fresh and refreshing. You could tell the ban chan wasn't just sitting out in the open waiting to be served. What's also unique is that this place also serves the leftover crispy rice w/ hot water that comes in the clay pot! I've only ever been to one other place that does this--I love it when they do this. The only down side is we did notice the stew to be a little too salty so I had to pour some water, but bc the flavor was so good I didn't really mind tbh. Seating was plentiful here. Everything was clean. The ambiance felt like a clean and modern home-y Korean spot. Overall would definitely come back again! read more

We arrived when it was still pretty quiet, but by the time we left this place was packed. The staff were really friendly and generous, and the food we ordered (half & half of the wings, original and soy garlic) was delicious! read more
