Kingchops Irvine

Welcome to Kingchops, located at 15435 Jeffrey Rd #117, Irvine, CA 92618, a family-owned restaurant that brings the authentic flavors of Taiwan to Southern California. Our roots trace back to 1961 when our grandmother, Mrs. Hu Chen Jing Lan, established a beloved porkchop rice bento shop in Ximending, Taipei City, known as “Jing Yuan Pai Gu”. Renowned for her skill in crafting porkchops seasoned with black pepper, her dishes were cherished for their sweet and savory profile.

Decades later, the second generation of the Jing Yuan family brought this legacy to Los Angeles. Today, we carry on this tradition at Kingchops, offering the same signature fried porkchops that have been a staple for 60 years. Our porkchops are crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, with a thin coating of black pepper that offers a rich aroma. Hand-tenderized for a soft texture, these porkchops are juicy and not greasy, with a sweet aftertaste that pairs perfectly with black vinegar.

Our menu also features chicken legs marinated in the same fashion, fried to retain their elastic texture and served with a tangy black vinegar that enhances their flavor. These dishes, along with our porkchop rice, chicken leg rice, porkchop noodles, and chicken leg noodles, are our pride and joy.

We invite you to join us and experience our 60-year-old exclusive taste. We hope you will support us as we continue to serve the community with the same dedication and love for authentic Taiwanese cuisine that has been passed down through generations.
