What people say, in short
House of Chan attracts steak recommendations alongside appreciation for its vintage, retro atmosphere. One diner describes good steaks and another recommends pairing steak with egg rolls; a separate commenter praises the chateaubriand. The concept does not appeal to everyone: a commenter questions the combination of cuisines and another disputes that it is better than Barberian's. Those are preferences, not evidence of a food-quality guarantee.
