Ever since moving down to Irvine from LA last year, I've been craving really good jjajangmyeon (Zzamong in Koreatown LA is my go-to), and I would say this place's food meets the high standards that I have about Chinese-Korean food. I love that they don't skimp out on the onion and pork in their jjajang, and they cook their onions to the perfect consistency, where it's not too raw nor completely caramelized. Also, the portion they give is HUGE. My boyfriend and I split one jjajangmyeon and pork tangsooyuk, and we couldn't finish either. Their pork tangsooyuk (not pictured) had an interesting texture of breading (kind of reminded me of mochi?), but I didn't mind it at all. The outer layer was crisp yet the inner layer was nice and chewy. Sure, their food is a bit pricier than other Chinese-Korean restaurants, but I'd pay more for the quality as they serve the food here at Chai Lan. They have outdoor seating, but we did takeout and drove to a nearby park. The only downside is that it's far on the east side of Irvine, but that's where all the good food is at (haha). Really hoping they'll survive through COVID because I don't know a better place around Irvine that has legit jjajangmyeon!

Great Korean-Chinese food. The food is flavorful and not too greasy. I loved all the dishes. The staff were attentive. The decor is pretty modern. Some of the dishes are spicy. It's a casual place. Sometimes there is a wait.
I miss the food in California. Especially this place. Fresh tasty and fair price. Always good food. Love it.
It is a Korean style Chinese restaurant. The foods are great and the server is very kind. I enjoyed my lunch two days in a row.
Korean-style Chinese food. Fresh noodles. We tried several dishes and everything came out well. Good place!
Absolutely a place worth stopping by, the food is good and well prepared, the costs are affordable and it is regularly well kept there. Highly recommended.
