Walked in for 3 on a rainy Wednesday evening. They only have seats on the 2nd floor. The server was nice. Food didn't take too long to come out. We got soy garlic small fried chicken combo, French fries, pickled radish, and grapefruit soju. They gave little hand wipes. The chicken and fries tasted solid but weren't the best. The chicken skin was crispy.

One of the best KFC spots in the city for both eat in and delivery.

Love this place. Like the location, near Penn Station, best chicken wings I've had in a Ling time, very crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, great fries and onion rings.

Amazing Fried Korean chicken, honestly one of the best style fried chicken by far. It has this textured bite with a crunch that make you wonder how they did it. The sauce was real tasty, not overly sweet or tangy. Highly recommended. Not your traditional or southern fried spot.

Picked up some spicy wings and spicy bbq wings while out on lunch. The ordering on the kiosk was effortless, the service was swift, and we received our text notifications in real time advising us our food was ready. Didn't take any longer than 20 min for prep and it tasted amazing. Next time I'll dine in and share the pictures!

The chicken was great! As was the kimchi and radish! Very authentic and flavoursome - And huge portions, unfortunately there weren’t really enough staff to support demand, and the whole layout seemed a little off - no atmosphere downstairs, and only a few tables with very quiet music. We ordered the bulgogi tacos but unfortunately the meat was tough.Really great business idea, but a little short on delivery across the board, hopefully some small changes could be made to improve as the core products were really great!

Shake Your Bon Bon, Bon Chon... Conveinent location, close to work for that quick korean bbq fix. Bon Chon is not the best Kbbq out there, but their chicken is tender and juicy. The skin is inconsistent. It can be crispy or not at times. I always get the soy garlic sauce, the flavor and stickiness are the best parts of chicken. The parmesan french fries are delicious, especially when freshly served and eaten. The rice is never good, always dry and unfluffy. Check your order at this particular BC because this is the second time I had to go back because my order was not complete.

NEVER order to go from here. Ordered the combo there for $40 to dine in... came with the right sized chicken. Ordered the same but separate order to go after the meal and they sneak in the tiny pieces. They swap out the chicken and charge you for bigger ones if you order to go

Fantastic, Crispy Korean Chicken!Setup -- planned to get a few slices at Joe's Pizza on way back to Midtown, but lines were insane, so had our eye on this earlier, but was closed. SO glad we stopped in!!Food -- big menu and so many things I would have loved to try, but went with Korean fried chicken combo that included 2 drums and 4 wings. Went with the super spicy option and this was heaven on a plate! Not exactly how sure they get it so crispy, but would love some tips for frying wings at home. The breading is tasty, yummy, and perfect bite of spice. It almost has a faint touch of sweetness to it, but the spiciness balances it perfectly. The ranch was not the greatest, but who cares with how amazing this food tastes.B got the tacos and she got more then she thought. She was assuming the chicken tacos would come out fairly small as most restaurants serve. Nope. They were huge and there were four! These were also great, hitting the taste buds just right. Even though I highly recommend sticking with the chicken, this is also a yum option.Drink -- standard drink menu. Went with a Sapporo and not sure its ever paired as well as it did with this awesome chicken.Service -- super helpful and friendly waiter. Happy to explain menu and make recommendations. Very prompt in attending to any needs.Vibe/Scene -- seated by host behind the bar by calling to waiter in empty tables. Upstairs and downstairs seating available. Simple and straightforward and that's all thats needed when your food is this good.Value -- excellent value. Wouldve happily paid more of needed for the quality and taste of this food, but extremely reasonable, something you don't see a whole lot.Summary -- if you're a fan of fried chicken, make a stop ASAP!!
