Bonchon Orlando

"Saw an Ad on Facebook and decided to give this a try. We love Korean chicken and wanted to try this place out. Joel was our server, he was really friendly, knowledgeable and prompt. We decided to try the tenders, kimchi coleslaw, and radish. The place wasn’t too busy, and everything came out pretty fast. We ordered half and half Soy Garlic & Korean BBQ. Both flavors were delicious but my favorite from the two was the soy garlic. I am adding this place to a list of staples for our travels. Glad to see they are in several states we do business in!"

"I’ve searched almost all of Orlando/surrounding areas for the perfect Korean fried chicken, and by far, they have the best KFC! Their KFC is what gives them a 4 star rating. I personally like to order the drumsticks. They are super crispy, and flavorful. I like to order half soy garlic, and half spicy. The spicy is actually spicy. I also like the shrimp shumai. The honey dijon dressing sounds weird, but it actually goes really well with it. Their house fried rice is hit or miss. I like to get the kimchi bacon one, but most of the time the rice comes out soggy. The kimchi coleslaw is by far the best side. It’s so delicious! The service is always mediocre. I feel like they are always short staffed. The atmosphere is nice, and there is a sink to wash your hands located just outside of the restrooms."

"Me and my friends have been on a quest to find some of the best wings in Orlando. One of the names that came up frequently was Bonchon. I had never heard of it before, and it's taken me months to finally make a visit, but I finally got there. Parking was adequate, but I can see that in busier times, it can be a challenge with all of the other eateries so close together. Also, the hours at this location are only until 8 p.m., so that's been another reason that it's taken me so long to make the trip. They have another location that's much farther from me that's open later. It's not a large establishment, but it can be labeled as somewhat niche, lending to a more intimate environment. Not a large staff, somewhat limited seating, and to me, it was rather dim on lighting inside. I neglected to grab a photo or two of the interior, but large groups may not be able to sit together. We were planning a rather large outing to here, but plans changed. Maybe for the best now having seen the space. The food. I had the Bulgogi. Very tasty, however, the rice was a bit dry to me. That's the only knock I'll give it. The presentation was nice, and it was warm. It was served with an actual oversized metal spoon, which was weird, as the other plasticware came in the to go style plastic bag. I was a bit confused on that one. I also tried the chicken. I like the idea of not only having wings, but drumsticks too. For flavours, I tried what they call half and half. So some of the chicken was their soy garlic and the other was spicy. The soy garlic had a good taste to it. I believe the soy overtook the garlic, however as I really didn't taste a lot of garlic. The spicy was indeed spicy. Not overpowering, but enough so that I could taste it. The chicken was crispy, but not as crispy as I was led to believe in watching video reviews. It seemed in the reviews that they may have mic'd the moments they were biting into their food to obtain that crunch sound (or maybe they just were eating the chicken plain). Either way, just something I noticed. Overall, not bad and it's something to try. I will honestly say I've had better experiences with wings, but these were definitely on the positive side of what you can find for wings in Orlando."

"Took my son here for his birthday because he loves chicken wings. They did not disappoint! The sticky ones are spicy so if you can’t handle heat stick to the other kind or plain. We also tried a couple appetizers (one with octopus, one with shrimp and the tacos) all three were good. But the chicken was the winner for the meal. Will definitely come back for those."
