Good is just okay but price is quite high-end. Ordered calamari, fried chicken, beef noodle and spicy rice cake to go. Beef noodle is the most plain one, and beef tasted like lamb.

My favorite food is Chan Chan Kimbap. It is the best which I ever had. I would like to recommend a spicy bibim noodle if you like spicy food. It tastes good and comes with lots of fresh vegetables. It would be perfect if the sauce could be a little bit reduced by amount. Regarding Tteobokki, I wish it has more rice cakes and less less sauce for tastes and environment. Overall I love Chan Chan because it soothes my nostalgia of Korean snack(street) foods.

I was looking forward to revisiting one of my favorite restaurants after a long time. Unfortunately, the food was overly salty and hard to enjoy, and overall, it fell short of my expectations. Additionally, the staff member who took our order was quite unfriendly, which made the experience even more disappointing. Regrettably, I don’t feel inclined to visit again.

If you love 한국 분식, then this is the place for you.
As one of Irvine's first establishments for elevated 분식, they're skilled in producing succulent 김밥, hardy 떡뻑기, and transcendent 비빔 국수.
Honorable mentions are the fried chicken and calamari (which is a bit of a misnomer because 오징어 is cuttlefish, not squid). The batter they use is akin to a beer batter, something with a nice crisp and heavy crunch.
The kimbap and different fried items are amazing. Everything else can be a bit of a hit or miss, but if you have a hankering for some Korean staples, Chan Chan's got you covered.
My son and I visited Chan Chan for the first time. First off, we ordered too much food. We ordered 3 dishes and took more than half of it home.
We had the Chan Chan chicken tenders. Just wonderful. The sauce was just right and the chicken was perfect. Then we had the Kimchi Rice Cake (bowl). It was spicy but we kept on eating it. And then we had the beef Kimbap which was a great combination of tastes.
I look forward to the leftovers!

This is one of my favorite Korean Food Restaurants. Everything just tastes so good in here, but my favorite dishes are chan chan gimbap and fried chicken with sweet garlic wings with sauce on the side. The waiting can be long sometimes depending on when you visit and finding parking spots can be a pain sometimes too but I guess it is not that bad now since Orobae is still closed at this moment when I am writing the review. The price is very affordable for students. Overall, highly recommend this place.

Do not even get me started on their crispy Korean fried chicken Chang style in bits, every single entrée item we’ve ever ordered here has been exquisite. Last time I went my favorite was the white beef soup. The portions are humongous.
Great service and great food. Very reasonable prices. Authentic taste and awesome atmosphere.
