    I went back and try out the kimchi rice and the Kimbap and it was good! Portions were HUGE and flavors were great yhis time!

    I've eaten my way through more Korean fried chicken spots than I can count, but Chan Chan will always reign supreme to me. Hardcore loyalty! I've always eaten at the Irvine location but definitely wanted to give HB's location a try. Chan Chan & Sweet Garlic Wings (5/5) If there's anything about these wings they have the perfect crunch to the skin. So crispy and decadent. .That audible crunch that makes the whole table go wild. The meat underneath stays impossibly juicy. The Chan Chan sauce hits that perfect balance of sweet and spicy. A little heat that creeps up gently, layered with savory depth and a subtle sweetness that lingers. But the Sweet Garlic? That one owns my heart. It's glossy, garlicky, slightly sticky, and dangerously addictive.  Chan Chan Kimbap (4.5/5) First of all, the portion size is extremely generous. All the flavor profiles are wrapped delicately and work harmoniously with each other. Each bite feels balanced; slightly sweet, slightly savory, fresh, and clean. It's not heavy or greasy; it's comforting in a composed. This one delivers on that classic flavor profile while still feeling hearty. Tteokbokki (4/5) Their tteokbokki leans into that addictive sweet-savory zone with just enough spice to wake up your taste buds without overwhelming them. The rice cakes are soft and chewy -- that signature elasticity that makes tteokbokki so satisfying. When the sauce coats the rice cakes, it creates this glossy, clingy texture. And adding ramen noodles? Elite decision. The noodles soak up the sauce and add another layer of texture, making every bite more dynamic. The space itself is small and cozy. Nothing flashy, but it feels intimate and easy. It's the kind of place you come to focus on the food and your friends. The servers were friendly and welcoming. I do wish they checked in on us a little more since we had to flag someone down a few times for water refills, but it didn't take away from the overall experience. And once they secure their alcohol license? Oh, it's over. This place is going to be even more packed. If you're in Huntington Beach and serious about Korean fried chicken, this is the one. Some places are trendy. Some places are good. And then some places just consistently hit. And Chan Chan hits every time.

    Good portions Moderate prices Service was prompt and gave good recommendations Tender battered chicken tenders were really good Hefty kimbap rolls Perfect for sharing different dishes They have different sauces; it's nice to try a variety.

    Chan Chan is the spot when I'm craving ultimate Korean food that doesn't involve soups, so I'm talking about kimbap, kimchi fried rice and crunchy korean fried chicken. What I like about this spot is that they have generous portions. Their korean fried chicken is super crunchy as they used a thicker batter! When fried correctly, it gives that ultimate crunch. I liked that they offer the sauces on the side, so you can control how much sauce you want with each bite. My favorite is definitely the garlic and the chan chan sauce. Other dishes I like are the chan chan kimbap and the kimchi fried rice. The kimbap tastes fresh and the portions for the kimchi fried rice are quite generous! Parking can be a struggle during peak lunch or dinner times. We came here a second time on a Sunday around 2pm, and there were plenty of spots!

    I heard about Chan Chan Irvine, but since Huntington Beach is closer, decided to try HB location instead. We got there on Sat around 2pm and the restaurant was empty. I'm always a little apprehensive when the restaurant is empty, but we figured we would still try it out. For the most part, food was better than expected, like the kimbap. Kimbap here is excellent, with the right kind of rice (slightly sticky) and plenty of sesame oil. I love the ratio of veggies/meat to rice, since I don't like too much rice. We had the half and half of beef and spicy oden, and I'd def recommend beef over spicy oden. The tokbokki was a bit of a letdown, because I really wanted the retro style, which is the one they cook tableside (juksuk tokbokki). I haven't had that style since I left Korea, so I was excited but found out they only have it in Irvine location, bummer! I also wanted a glass of beer, but they don't have a liquor license yet, double bummer. But, service was nice, the ladies that work there were very attentive and efficient. We also ordered the chicken with green onions, and the chicken was fried perfectly. Their pickled radish was very good too, I'm kinda picky about my pickled radish that you get with Korean fried chicken, and theirs is really good. Overall, I'd come back once they have their liquor license and they start doing the tableside tokbokki (retro tokbokki). Kimbap alone is worth it. Plenty of parking in the mall.

    I've heard so many good things about Chan Chan and finally got to try it out. We came on a Friday evening for dinner and there was no wait, which I'm surprised about because the food was really good. The wings were so crispy, juicy, and flavorful. The wings are huge and I would recommend 8pc for 2 people, if you plan on ordering other items on the menu. I like that they put the sauce on the side to dip, so the wings stay crispy. Our favorite sauce was the sweet garlic, it's a must get. The Kimbap was really good too, definitely a must get. They have seating indoors and have a separate kiosk for takeout orders. ig: @cravingswithcat

    Chan Chan Huntington Beach is tucked in the center between the big bank and the church. The service is always fast and friendly, with a casual ambiance. Their Korean fried chicken is made with delicious batter, and the tenders are always juicy with generous portions. Ask for an extra dipping sauce, it's got a kick! My favorite dish here is the Spicy Seafood Fish Cake Soup. Savory broth, many varieties of fish cake and seafood, and I add ramen noodles which pair nicely with the delicious broth. Dine in or to go, it's always a treat that hits the spot. Enjoy!

    Kimchee and spam friend rice!

    Great little Korean spot in Huntington Beach at Warner & Beach. The spam & kimchi fried rice and beef kimbap were both delicious and packed with flavor. Brian gave us fantastic service--super friendly and attentive. Definitely coming back!

    Delicious, delicious. I had an amazing lunch. I tried the seafood soup (9.0/10) and the grill beef kimbap (9.1/10). Both were delicious. The amount of soup I got was a lot that it took me an hour to eat my food. I highly recommend it.

    Spicy Beef Noodles
    Jenny V.

    I tried the combination kimbap (spam and beef) and it was tasty! I also got the spicy beef soup with noodle and thought it was just okay. A lot of vegetables and meat. Unfortunately, the spices made my stomach hurt a bit. The portion sizes are good here for sharing though and is filling! Service was also good and my order came out quick despite just placing the phone order. The interior is clean, spacious although it is a small restaurant, and is welcoming.

    Combo 3
    My W.

    Chan Chan, where did you come from? I swear, this place popped up out of nowhere and blew my mind. My daughter asked for Korean fried chicken, so I took to Yelp and prayed for a miracle. Yelp, you came thru!!!! Walked in expecting a fast food vibe because it looked like it would be a fast food place but the server treated us like we were fine dining. We ordered the Combo 3 and damn, those wings were huge--heavily battered but somehow light and crispy. I know, it's an oxymoron, but they pulled it off. The spicy soy sauce was a game changer, and my daughter was all about that Chan Chan sauce. But let's talk about the rice cakes--I'll be dreaming about that sauce for the rest of my life. The beef kimbap? Solid. Food was on point, but honestly, the sauces stole the show. I knew it was legit when my daughter whispered, "this is so good," which is basically a miracle since she doesn't say that about any place-- except for my cooking (she's my fave kid). Only downside? No alcohol. Bruh, come on. Get it together. Other than that, Chan Chan is a solid 5/5. Catch us here regularly

    Seafood fish cakes
    Mei W.

    This place is LEGIT!!! I was skeptical about this place but my hubby insisted we come here since it was nearby the resort we were staying at. The food here is authentic!! MUST order the fried chicken if you're dining here. The sweet garlic is delicious! The seafood fish cake is also a must try I highly recommend! Portion is huge. A good mix of fish cakes, seafood and fresh scallions and veggies. Definitely and authentic cuisine!

I love that they had lots of tofu options, including combos. They also had meat items and hot stone bibimbaps and soups you can get on their own. For the tofu soups you can get any level of spicy you like. To start we shared their seafood pancake which was really good. It did lack some seafood but overall it was great. It was crispy on the outside and was very thick. It came with some dipping sauce. They also gave us some yummy banchan for the table. For lunch, I went with their ham & sausage tofu soup with a "spicy" for hot level. It was good but definitely not very spicy. I enjoyed it. One of the people I came with got their bibimbap which was bland but it did come with some sauce. Overall we enjoyed our meal and took some leftovers home. The staff is incredibly nice. Food came out quick and they were very helpful. The inside is cute and casual. I would come back and recommend if you don't want to drive all the way to Garden Grove for korean tofu soup.

The parking setup was convenient with underground parking, and the restaurant is able to validate your parking as well. There's also an elevator that brings you directly to the front of the restaurant, which is connected to a hotel. The decor had a really nice beachy aesthetic, and there were even some views of the ocean. It's also located about a 10-minute walk from the pier, which made the area feel fun and relaxing. The service throughout the meal was friendly, and the food overall was good with a nice variety of options for the table. At the end of the meal, we were also given a complimentary dessert that was specially designed by the pastry chef. Unfortunately, she wasn't there at the time, so we weren't able to ask exactly what was in it, but the server mentioned it was made with toffee. Overall, it was a nice spot for a celebration with good food, friendly service, and a great atmosphere near the beach. Looking forward to coming back again and maybe giving their dinner menu a try next time.

It happened to be restaurant week so there were items that were not on the regular menu yet. Shrimp & Crab Claw Scampi (5/5) - Plump shrimp, crab claw, all married in a white wine butter cream sauce. It was so delicious! I cleared my dish without hesitation. White Fish Piccata (5/5) - The fish tasted fresh! The sauce was almost similar to the scampi, but lighter. Hangar Steak & Ravioli (5/5) - The steak was cooked a perfectly medium rare! The truffle butter sauce really tied everything together. I would 100% order this again! Hummingbird Cake (4/5) - Tasted similar to a carrot cake. The cake felt a little too rich for me, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. Their drinks are always on point! I had their mango margarita and it was so refreshing. Overall, I would come back to enjoy the views, live music, and delicious food!
