"life changing" is how my friend described it. It really is delicious. Be warned, spicy is spicy.

Used to love this place but post pandemic the wait time for food is really long even when there’s no one else in the store. The chicken strips have gotten much smaller as well. Avoid and go to one of the other stores or order way ahead. Not the employees fault they are nice but seems badly run at the higher levels. Better chicken at better prices all around the area.

Had there wings for the first time yesterday February 9,2024.Wings were delicious but was only offered coleslaw which was lacking in flavor, but there wings were the best I’ve ever had.A bit on the pricey side but well worth it.

Ordered on last Friday, and the chicken was missing.Ordered chickens, the chickens were missing…. So sad, is it possible to refund the chicken that they forgot gave us? Feel so sad and bad ordering experience.

Staff are not attentive. Ordered a pickup order and after returning home realized it was missing half the pieces of chicken and sauce for the Korean donuts. Had issues last time I ordered as well.

so I had the BulDak and hands down one of the most delicious plates of food that I ever had! I would definitely give it a try. You won't regret it.

Having lived for a year in Korea while I was in the military, I'm a sucker for Korean Fried Chicken. I have to make a stop here every time I'm in town for business. It's a chain restaurant, but you can't get this kind of food everywhere in the USA. The service isn't outstanding, but it also isn't bad. I always get my food to go, and just eat it in my hotel room.My staples here are Spicy Wings and Soy-Garlic Potstickers. I try other things, but just always go back to these two.If I could change one thing here, it would be to offer Kimchi as a side instead of Pickled Radish or Coleslaw. I love Kimichi, but the Radish is just barely acceptable in my opinion, and I'm not in the mood for Coleslaw with Korean food. They *do* offer Kimchi here, it's just not offered as a side option with the regular menu items I order. Kimchi is just the ubiquitous side item for Korean food, and it surprises me that they don't offer it more freely.

The usual Bonchon goodness, with crispy chicken and nice flavor. Bulgogi fries were solid.

9/27/23 Good food, big portions, but lackluster customer service and unreliable to- go order kiosks. I placed my order on the kiosk, and noticed another customer waiting while Ashley was standing at the counter. I waited for 20 minutes and received a text that my order was ready. Ashley said that she would check the order but then....no response? Another employee mentioned that they just received my order from the kiosk and are working on completing it. I wanted to cancel my order as I had a limited amount of time for lunch, but the employee said that it should be done quickly. I waited another 10 minutes when it was finally completed. Thankfully, I double checked my order and found that they did not include pickles. Yes, the employees were apologetic and offered free drinks/sides and a discount, but I feel that they should have checked on their customers' orders when we were obviously waiting for a while. So disappointing. I will be ordering from a different location.

Delicious yummy food - crunchy chicken legs and wings, bimbimbap, glass noodles, tacos were all great. Service was nice and fast. Only downside was the restaurant was a bit stinky.

My recent visit to Bonchon, an Asian fusion restaurant, left me with mixed impressions. The spicy chicken dumplings were an absolute delight, offering a true explosion of flavor and heat that I thoroughly enjoyed.Moving on to the chicken bowl, it held its ground without reaching exceptional heights. It landed squarely in the middle - not bad, but not particularly remarkable either.Service was a definite highlight, with attentive and prompt staff ensuring a pleasant dining experience. It’s worth noting that the restaurant was relatively empty during my visit

Pros: the crunchiness of the chicken is really good. You can get different options like wings, thighs and boneless wings. They have also few options, however most of them are spicy. They have 6 tables outside, under umbrellas. Price is reasonable and portions are just right.Cons: none really, maybe that you have to go inside for refills, or that the side dishes are very basic (you can see, nothing big)

I know that there are many great fried chicken place out there. Why would you need to pin a chain restaurant like Bonchon? Well, it is because its consistency. If you crave fried chicken regularly, you need to rely on a chain restaurant. And if you seek quality fried chicken, I would say Bonchon comes to my mind. I love the korean flavor into the chicken to pace myself out of the bland flavors of day-to-day food. Tips: what I ordered the most is actually the tender/breast rather than the wings since it has more protein and more filling than wings.
