Chai Lan

“ 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! ”

“ I prefer chai lan over the spot inside Hmart probably because there full service not a take out window and they also give you kimchi. They have bouncy noodles and the jjampong has a fire taste to it. It's delicious. I do feel like the prices are a little high but maybe you pay for what you get. Their tangsukyuk comes with the sauce on the side which is perfect for you dippers out there. Their roll bread is warm and soft and complements your meal as well. ”

“ This Korean/Chinese fusion is so flavorful. Every bite was filled with a burst of freshness and tanginess in my mouth. It was the first time that I had black bean noodles. It fulfilled all my expectations of how I imagined it would taste. I wish there was a place closer to where I live. I can just imagine eating it this dish and watching my K-Dramas. Delicious in Dungeon. ”

“ the food is so flavorful and delicious, one of the best bowls of jjajangmyeon (black bean noodles) i've had. it is a generous portion and is full of onion and pork. the tangsuyuk - sweet & sour pork - was really good too, i liked that the sauce is on the side. the servers were friendly and attentive. they didn't have aprons, but they gave me extra napkins to protect my shirt from the noodles! the food came out pretty fast, and there wasn't a wait on a friday night. there are plenty of tables inside, and it was a clean environment to eat. overall, this is my new go-to for jjajangmyeon in OC. ”

“ Service was good. Portion size was generous. Our favorite dish was the shrimp. The sweet and sour fried pork was kind of bland even with the sauce. The black bean noodle sauce turned watery the more you ate, which was strange. ”

“ This place's food offers AMAZING VALUE. I came on a late Thursday night. There was no lines and it wasn't busy. It's located in the Northpark Plaza, so there's ample parking outside. The food portions were huge, filling, flavorful, and affordable. The food came out FAST! This is what we ate: 1) Jajangmyeon $13.99 - the black bean sauce was sweet and savory. The noodles were thick and chewy. The pork was so tender and nicely cooked that I thought it was beef 2) Side Soup $4 - a small but good size bowl of spicy seafood soup with veggies. It is decently spicy for those who can't tolerate it 3) Side Rice $2 - it was a big bowl of white rice that paired extremely well with the side soup and left over black bean sauce 4) Kimchi and yellow radish sides - they were free and added a great crunchy element to the meal The total before tip was $21.54, which is very impressive. The interior has nice, traditional looking decor. There's a hollow mini car that greets the front door with fortune cookies. ”

“ Food is great, but I definitely got confused when walking in because the sign outside the restaurant says Chinese Cuisine but all the menu and the wall menu is Korean. Nonetheless, food is food and this food was fantastic! We ordered three dishes. The jjampong was perfectly rich seafood broth and the noodles had perfectly chewy texture. We also got the black bean sauce with noodles and this was also *chefs kiss* with same chewy perfect noodles. The sweet and sour pork was the only item I wish was seasoned better. The sauce was great but I wished the pork itself was seasoned. The service was great and our pickled Dikon and radishes were being topped up. I will def be coming back to eat here!! ”

“ This restaurant is my go to in the area whenever I crave chinese korean food such as tangsuyuk and/or jajangmyeon. The food here is delicious and oily so you know its legit. Also, their sweet and sour shrimp is actually decent too and i order it sometimes when i'm in the mood. ”

“ We were recommended to Chai Lan by our neighbor. Below the name in small print says: Koreanized Chinese restaurant. Never been to one so we were excited to try. 2 dishes our neighbor highly recommended were: #16 Deep Fried Pork was amazing but I recommend to finish it while it is still warm. #1 Spicy Seafood Noodle Soup was flavorful but will go with the not spicy version next time. Delicious food and service was superior. Special mention to Sue. Almost every table had the Black Bean Sauce Noodles so will definitely try that next time and some Fried Pork again. ”
