Bubbling tofu stews, crispy kimchi pancakes, and flavorful banchan
"Serving Korean comfort food and seasonally changing banchan since 1999, Pyeong Chang Tofu House is a great family-run restaurant on Telegraph Avenue. tofu soup, seafood pancakes, and bibimbap are all popular orders here, though there’s also Korean barbecue, cold noodles, and ginseng stuffed whole chicken soup to be had on the extensive menu." - Eater Staff
"Pyeong Chang Tofu House is a popular Korean spot in Temescal (there’s a second location in Berkeley on University Ave). While there are 100 different reasons we’d recommend you try this place if you haven’t, their soondubu is the main one. The fiery pork and tofu stew is the perfect thing to keep you warm during the colder months, but we’re also very pro coming here in the summer and sweating just a little bit more than usual." - Noah Cho
"I turned to Pyeongchang Tofu House in Temescal for comforting tofu dishes when I needed heat and flavor." - Eater Staff
"You may have heard East Bay resident Samin Nosrat rave about Pyeong Chang’s kimchijeon in the New York Times Magazine — and those savory pancakes are indeed one of the best versions of the dish in the Bay Area. Pyeong Chang, though, also has some of the most satisfyingly rich soondubu in the area, and their daily rotation of house-made banchan always delights. The soondubu holds up well to takeout, but I’d pop the lid open on the pajeon if you pick it up so it retains its crispness. Both the Oakland and Berkeley locations are open for takeout, with both online ordering and app-based delivery available." - Noah Cho
"Among the long stretch of Korean restaurants that line Telegraph Avenue in Oakland, Pyeong Chang is one of the most consistently satisfying, with its small but reliably excellent banchan selection and its namesake tofu stews — bubbling little cauldrons that pack a ton of flavor and chile heat. The restaurant (and its sister location in Berkeley) is open for takeout and offering a number of special deals for the duration of the shelter in place: 20 percent discount on all tofu stew orders, half off on bottles of soju, and an all-day $12 dosirak lunchbox special. Call in to order." - Luke Tsai
