Bonchon

"Food is always great. Atmosphere is nice overall. Service can be hit or miss. Ran out of drinks. Took them a while to tend to my brother and I. Asked for extra napkins and the person tending to us forgot about us and was just glued to his phone. Great food other than that."

"I have never been in the restaurant I’ve always order delivery but the food is so good. I always order the fried chicken half soy garlic and half spicy with a side of rice and of course I gotta have a side of pickle radish. The chicken is cooked to perfection Krispy from the outside and lots of flavor on the coating sauce."

"Great food and service! We arrived after 6 pm on a Thursday afternoon and got a table immediately. The server was attentive and gave suggestions on the menu. He also asked us what we thought of the limited time flavor we ordered, which was nice. We got half wings half drums and split the flavors. The spicy one is our favorite! The crisp on the skin is delicious and the meat is so juicy! The bulgogi tacos were good too. We recommend dining in if you want to get the best chicken experience. We usually order to go and the skin is less crispy when eating at home."

"Years ago when Bonchon arrived in the Bay Area I had the chance to try their chicken at the South San Francisco location. However, I was not impressed but I may want to give the chicken a second chance. This time in San Leandro I ordered the Bibimbap, and what a mistake. I suggest to customers to never try anything that a restaurant is not known for other than their specialty. So if you come here don’t try their bibimbap, tacos, wraps, japjae , etc. On their menu it is not listed whether you are getting the hot stone bowl or the cold bibimbap. This is a big deal for me because I don’t like the hot stone. It literally stays fire hot beyond the time that you stay there. Plus the waiters do not warn you and there’s no protection between you and the hot pot. You easily can burn yourself. So do not order it if you are with little kids. Now for the food. The bibimbap I got was very Americanized. They used few and very cheap ingredients in it. You don’t even get any banchan (side dishes). For the meat I requested chicken but they don’t serve you dakgui. Instead I got some dry, tough chicken breast meat. Flavor wise it was not good either. The chef placed the little container of sauce on top of the boiling meat which allowed the plastic container to melt on top of the food. I don’t know why this was considered safe. And the thing that I consider the worst was the use of American rice instead of Asian rice. Yup, they definitely used long grain rice. Anyway, not coming back for this item again. The best part this visit was the service. The boys were attentive. If you use the hand dryer in the bathroom, be ready for a deafening experience."

"Food delivery review: Wings and fries were still hot and crispy and everything else kept pretty well too. The flavors themselves arent anything too special but it's still some solid lunch grub."
