"Fantastic food... "Wallah" Fried rice.. wings were amazing... Soup was okay.. pics included.. the service was a bit disappointing though.."

"This is actually an update to previous review. I went back and Bonchon totally redeemed themselves. Had BBQ wings and seasoned fries of course. Absolutely delicious and I was totally satisfied. Hot crunchy juicy chicken. The sauce was perfect. I so enjoyed my dinner that I forgot to take a new photo. That's when you know you were focused on the meal. Thank you for making my 4th visit awesome. Previous experience….. What's the saying about 3rd time being the charm. Not here sorry to say. My first couple of times were on the weekend and I was really impressed. Korean Barbecue Chicken with side of Fried Rice and Seasoned Fries were amazing. Chicken was crunchy and most flavorful. Rice was good, even seasoned fries were crunchy and tasty. Third time was for lunch on a Thursday with coworkers. They were tired of hearing me bragging about this chicken. Well big mistake for myself and coworkers. Ordered online as usual, was there to pick it up. Had to call to let them know I was outside. This is a first. Normally they bring food right out. The lady who answered was basically like why are you calling. (1st red flag) Mind you this was a big order for 30 pcs. Guy finally brings out food. We get food and I noticed the smell of old cooking oil. (2nd red flag) Get back to work. The 3 of us dive in. Well chicken was not crunchy at all. In fact it seemed soft and soggy. Almost like left overs heated up in microwave. No Barbecue sauce flavor as ordered. (3rd red flag) We ate in silence. All I kept saying was wow. This is a total bust. Could it be because it's early and they just opened? Or was it because it's Thursday? Needless to say I was so disappointed. Not to mention my coworkers, feeling like they could have had something us. I ended up just paying for the meal. Gave them back their money. Third time turned into a total dud."

"Bonchon is one of the best fried chicken restaurants that I have been to lately. The staff was very friendly and attentive. We didn't wait long for our food and drinks to come out. If you are looking for some crispy chicken wings, this is the place! I love how crunchy the chicken was and the flavor of the kbbq wings was delicious. My favorite type of sweet and savory. The spicy wings were also delicious but they can be a bit too spicy. The fries were nice and crispy. They had really nice coleslaw too. They offer lunch specials with the wings and that is exactly what I got."

"I meant to get the fried chicken, but everything on the menu sounded so good. Went with the spicy Korean tacos and soy chicken bibimbap. I was full half way through but it was so good I tried really hard to finish it. The gal that was working was super nice. I would definitely love to go back."

"I love Korean chicken they are good, but it's more expensive than the regular fried chicken. This place is ok and expensive. Nothing really screams awesome. I've already dined in here 2x. I like the place it feels open and bright, the bathroom is clean and the staff are friendly. But food portions are small. The pork cut on their pork buns is getting thinner. It's almost now the same size as the slice cucumber, and the bao size looks like it's shrinking as well. I understand there's inflation everywhere, but I wish restaurants also maintain their serving portion as customer already paying high. I don't think it's proper to cut back and at the same time increase prices."
