Pyeong Chang Tofu House Oakland 오클랜드 평창 순두부

Been coming here for 15 yrs straight, since undergrad! Amazing every time. Highly recommend the kimchi tofu soup, galbi tang, bi bim bop, bossam, gal bi, soba cold noodles. They have probably the best banchan. Thank you to all the staff and kitchen, this place is a true Oakland gem.

The seafood pancake here is a must try crispy, flavorful, and easily one of the best I’ve had so many others end up soggy in comparison. If it weren’t such a drive, I’d be back every week just for that. I also love that they serve crispy rice with the soft tofu soup, it adds the perfect crunch and soaks up the broth beautifully.

Ordered from Ubereats. They have a bogo offer, but it's funny when I received it that the one portion is just half portion, so no wonder it's buy one get one free. Total scam. They also didn't include any banchan for delivery....

Was a little off put by the service here. It was very difficult to get out servers attention throughout the night…while they’re taking multiple shots with the loudest table in the restaurant… And while their tofu soups are FANTASTIC , the galbi, bulgogi, and even pancakes are just standard. Definitely not bad, but not at all worth the $45+ a dish especially when it comes out lukewarm on a bed of cabbage (I never understood the cabbage! Please get rid of it because it literally makes the meats cool down immediately after cooking).

WOW! Took me right back to my days in Seoul, eating a steamy, spicy bowl of 김치찌개 while it rained outside. The vibe of this restaurant is classic Korean style — K-pop on the TV, water in the plastic jug with the soju ads, and wide tables with plenty of space for the rotating selection of banchan (don’t worry though, they always include kimchi). If you were to ask me to take you to the most authentic feeling Korean joint, this would be #1 on the list. Okay, now the food — ho. ly. smokes! Everything was delicious and extremely high quality. The sizzling dolsat bibimbop and bulgogi were highlights, though the kimchi pancake was amazing as well (and not too spicy whatsoever!). We were pleasantly surprised to have a complimentary bowl of tofu soup included in the meal, and were so glad we didn’t miss out on it — there’s a reason they’re called the tofu house. The kimchi tofu soup was INCREDIBLE! We could choose our spice level (I went for medium) and it made for seriously the most unforgettable meal. I savored every bite! We didn’t realize that the meals came with a side of rice in a big stone pot, so in hindsight we felt like we could’ve skipped the bibimbap and still had a very filling meal. It ended up being fine though, as it just meant I had more leftovers to take home for lunch the next day! 🙂 One thing to keep in mind is that because the food is really high quality, the price tag is a bit steeper than other Korean restaurants are in Temescal. However, between the quality and quantity of the food we really felt like we were the ones getting the better end of the bargain. I do think that the larger the group, the easier you might be able to bear the cost and try all of the incredible dishes. I’m not too proud to say that I enjoyed the meal so much that I went back a week later and ordered takeout! This place lives up to the hype and is somewhere I’d highly recommend for anyone in the mood for real, hearty, authentic 한국음식.

We ordered tofu soup and seafood pancake. The restaurant serves free small cold appetizers that are commonly served in Korean restaurants. These appetizers are good. I wish they have fish cakes hahaha. The pancake is the best I ever had. It’s so crispy.

Excellent service! We tried the Dol Sot Bi Bim Bap and original fried chicken. Both dishes had great flavor.
