Bonchon San Mateo

"I am a DoorDasher. Almost every time that I come to pick up a large order the restaurant always takes about 30 min to an hour to prepare the food. Today I picked up an order for a customer and I waited almost 1 hour. They first told me it was going to be ready in no more than 15 minutes. This happens very often. They should be honest about the wait time. I make money per order not per hour like normal workers do. I miss out on the whole lunch rush waiting for the bonchon order. They should be more honest about the wait so that some other dasher can come later to pick it up."

"Popular little spot in San Mateo near the Century Cinema. Ordered the delicious Fried Rice, Combo Crispy Soy Garlic Fried Chicken and Chicken Sliders with Cole Slaw and seasoned French Fries."

"Got the half and half 50 wings for $65 deal and it came with both wings and drum sticks. The wings were a lot bigger than we expected and breaded/fried very well. In terms of flavour, it was good but nothing really special. There are only two flavours available: soy garlic and spicy. Also ordered the tteokbokki which was okay. Overall, if you want fried chicken for a decent price, this place is a good choice. Note: the 50 for $65 deal does not include radish. Those were ordered on top of the chicken."

"Got the half & half. The spicy half was a little too spicy for me. The chicken overall was tasty but some pieces tasted old and stringy. The coating was a bit thick too. It did satisfy my fried chicken craving but it is not even close to the Korean fried chicken I had in Seoul. The people who work there are super friendly though."

"The chicken was fresh and super crispy, but that's about all there was going for it. The sauce was mediocre (and there wasn't much of it on the chicken at that). And the chicken strips were dry. The food is way overpriced considering how forgettable it tasted. Service was okay. They were nice, but I felt rushed at times. It certainly wasn't good enough to warrant an automatic 15% tip (we were a party of 2). No reason to come back. There are tastier options (that offer better value too) in San Mateo."
