Best WLM Reviews
Chai Lan has firmly secured its place as one of my all-time favorite restaurants. Its convenient hours of operation, from 11 am to 9:30 pm, make it accessible for a wide range of dining occasions. During my recent visit, the food was nothing short of exceptional. The Black Bean Sauce Noodle was a delightful blend of flavors, the Spicy Seafood Noodle Soup packed a spicy punch, and the Stir Fry Flank Steak with Onions was an absolute star. The accompanying buns with savory brown sauce added a perfect finishing touch to the meal.
What's particularly impressive about Chai Lan is its popularity, which is evident as the restaurant remains bustling well into the night. Its warm and welcoming ambiance, coupled with a diverse menu, makes it an ideal choice for families and friends alike. Whether it's a casual lunch or a family dinner, Chai Lan caters to a variety of dining needs. It's not surprising that this restaurant has swiftly become a personal favorite, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone in search of a memorable dining experience. Be sure to book a table in advance, as Chai Lan's popularity is well-deserved and reservations are highly recommended!
Food is great. Sweet and sour pork is really great! Fried rice is also good.
Good enough portion makes my fatty belly. It is korean style family restaurant. I like it.
I was craving some black bean noodles and decided to try this place out. Probably the best black bean noodles I've had in Irvine and it's so close to my apartment so double win! I ordered to go, service was super fast and friendly. I literally ordered, got my food and was out of there in less than 10 minutes. Loved the texture of the noodles and the black bean sauce was the right thickness and very tasty. Can't wait to try the rest of their menu.
I placed the order right when they open, the lady on the phone told me 30 minutes, as i got there, i waited an additional 10 minutes on so, but it's worth the wait. I like the black beans noodle and the sweet and sour pork they made here.
I am new to the area. I was craving for Korean Chinese and found this restaurant. Today I finally brought my family and got these three dishes. We all like them. Frankly I did not have high expectations. Now it is our go to Korean Chinese restaurant. Can't wait to try other dishes on the menu!
After 2nd time visit update: I believe still the giving tip is customer's right. Not to be asked verbally after signed my bill. It was unpleasant experience and I will look for another place to visit next time. Good luck!

Personally, I recommend Jjajangmyeon (black bean noodle) than Jjamppong noodle here. Serving people were very kind and satisfied and appreciated. Tangsooyuk was ok.
If you want some delicious “Korean-Chinese food”, try No.15.
It’s chicken, crispy outside & tender inside with sweet & garlic flavor.
Strongly recommended.
Noodles are not as great as their other menu.
