FOOD WAS AMAZING but what really matters was the service! I didn’t get her name but amazing service! Always so nice and smiley! Would def recommend to everyone! The portions are big and I was expecting all of these to be ~$80 since some places in OC charge that much but it was only ~$50!

One of my favorite places around, however prices have gone up 70% for some dishes in the last 2 years out of nowhere… sad.

Chai Lan in Irvine never disappoints! The food is always fresh, flavorful, and authentic — one of my go-to spots when I’m craving something delicious.
The service is consistently great. Friendly staff and quick once you're seated. We had to wait about 20 minutes during a busy time, but it was absolutely worth it.
Highly recommend if you’re looking for great food, great service, and a spot that’s always worth the wait!

Friends and I got to celebrate and spend time with a dearly beloved little sister. There is typically a written waitlist to put your name on. We waited for about 10 minutes to get seated. Many Asians gather about here! The service is speedy and diligent.
For a group of three adults and a high school mentee we got three individual dishes and one main to share 1) tangsuyuk - the sauce had a good amount of vegetables and the meat was a good portion that filled our stomachs!! 2) jjang pong and rice - I love the variety of seafood included in here and the vegetables as well 3) jjang pong and noodles 4) jja jjang myeon (black noodles)
The spiciness of the jjang pong wakes up the taste buds in a good way!
We all ate quite happily. I wish service wasn’t too hasty however. For the remaining food, we got to take to-go. I love the side dishes offered - spicy radishes 깍두기 and pickled yellow radishes (takuan) 단무지. It pairs nicely with the dishes we got.
The ambiance reminds me of a fast food restaurant to some extent. The place is great to grab a hearty Chinese-Korean fusion food. God bless you all.

Love love this restaurant..I came here after I got it recommended by someone I know. I always get thr same 3 dishes but I should try other ones because I know they're famous for their fried shrimp and tang sooyook. But yes..their jajanmyun and jampong is #1.
Very good Korean restaurant! Recommend Black bean sauce noodles with pork, Spicy seafood noodle soup with assorted vegetables and Deep fried pork salad with sweet and sour sauce, They are so delicious! Will come back for sure!
