    Mixed 6 PC: 4Wings + 2 Drums - Spicy
    Dinh D.

    I love this place. It's my go to spot for Korean Fried Chicken. Alot of folks would say there's better Korean fried chicken places around but to me, this place is it. The food is good and they have a variety of dishes besides just fried chicken. I normally go for the spicy but you can get half and half or just soy garlic. They have a nice ambiance for seating indoor and there's plenty of seating and bar seats as well. The staff are very friendly and welcoming and the service is great! Food comes out in a relatively quick manner even when there are many to go orders.

    Fried rice with chicken
    Julia

    I live nearby and have been meaning to check out Bonchon for a while! It's very relaxed dining with a QR code with the menu and you place your food order online. I'm honestly not sure why they can't have the staff come to your table for your order, but the staff were all very friendly. I ordered the chicken Katsu, which I thought was really delicious but could've come with another side besides coleslaw. Thought that was kind of a strange side option. But the chicken was perfectly crispy! We weren't as impressed by the chicken fried rice, the chicken wasn't as flavorful and more of a rubbery texture. I think the cucumber on the side was a little odd too. But overall we had a good experience and it's very clean inside, I'll likely return when it's warmer out and I can sit outside!

    Bulgogi Fries

    The inside is never really busy. But the food is good. Highly recommend the bulgogi fries and their bao buns. I also tried the Korean corn and it was yummy but very cheesy. This is a great place to pick up food from or eat inside but be prepared for it to be kinda empty

    Not the best but not bad. Certainly not authentic. If you go, there's a free parking garage right behind the restaurant which helps. Staff are friendly and wait time for food is minimal. You'll most likely order and pay from your phone, although I prefer actual menus. Prices are a little more than I care for but somewhat reasonable. The setting is fair. Clean tables and comfortable seats. I opted for a fusion dish, the bulgogi fries. Size was appropriate and flavors were decent. My wife had the japchae. Again, food is not very authentic but fair.

    Bonchon has completely redefined what it means to dine out! From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with an innovative, streamlined ordering system that makes everything quick, easy, and surprisingly fun. No waiting around--just tap, order, and relax while the magic happens. Now the food... absolutely next level. Every bite bursts with authentic Korean flavor--from their signature double-fried chicken to the perfectly seasoned sides. You can taste the freshness and love in every dish. But whatever you do, don't skip dessert. Their freshly baked Korean donuts are hands down the best way to end a meal--crispy on the outside, warm and pillowy on the inside, with a sweet finish that dreams are made of. Run, don't walk. Bonchon is the real deal!

    Very dry chicken
    Se C.

    Very disappointed in the service for pick up order and the quality of the chicken. Went to go pick up an online order and the staff was rude and slow. One of the workers told me to go to the right to pick up the order, but no one was there, no cashier, no pick up person. Got 8 pieces of chicken strips half soy garlic and half Korean bbq. The chicken was very very dry as if it had been fried already and they just packed it into the take out box. Usually Bonchon chicken takes much longer for their order to be fried. Something seems off that the order was ready in 15 minutes. It was pretty dark inside. As a Korean fried chicken chain, this was a major let down. Paid $17.11 for 8 piece strips for reference. There are street parking spots outside.

    There is indoor and outdoor seating and you can easily get a seat. Staff is very friendly and there is a parking lot that is free with lots of parking. Korean fried chicken - half spicy and half soy garlic: there is nothing better than the crunch that comes with their fried chicken. Each piece has a lot of flavor and both are delicious. The spicy is spicy, so beware when ordering if you don't like the spice. Chicken katsu- good but not great. Comes on top of rice.

    Stopped in here after an evening performance at Twilight Tattoo. We were seated and visited promptly and placed an order for the garlic fried chicken, bulgogi fries and I think a side of Mac and cheese. The fries were hot and bulgogi was seasoned well and complimented the textures on the plate. The garlic fried chicken was slightly over cooked but still tasty with a nice balance of crunchy batter and tender meat. The Mac and cheese was a creamy blend of spice and cheese. Bonchon is a good go to for an easy and quick meal.

    This place was definitely a hip place to eat at. When we came the traffic was slow but the service was impeccable. I loved how 90% of the restaurant was surrounded by windows so you could see out as yiu ate and all the natural light. I ordered the chicken katsu which was absolutely amazing with this tangy Zang sauce to dip it in. It also came w a side I chose kimchi coleslaw which was spicy and delicious. My husband got bugolgi fried rice and the flavors were to die for. My girls got wings. One got the spicy one which is HOOOOT!!! and then the soy garlic flavor wings was to die for. A little bit of both world's of the garlic and soy was in there and the wings was sooooo crunchy!! Over all amazing experience! Wish we had one in daytona!

    Bonchon: fries
    Eric W.

    It's a fun place to catch up with friends on budget. We just walked in, it wasn't so full. Food was good, not the healthiest options but tastes great. We happen to come during their happy hour, which is a great deal! Highly recommend. Happy hour drinks are very cheap and decent beer & wine to go with your fried chicken and skewer. Service is very slow, but if you're not in a hurry, It's not bad. I would recommend this place, especially their happy hour.

    The loaded Bulgogi fries ($13 as of 9/30/23) were spectacular.

The brisket was pretty good. Not the best I ever had. However, it had great texture and was thick cut. Dipped in their bbq sauce- it was even better. The grilled wings were great. Fat juicy drums! *I gave my aunt the flats, and she enjoyed them too. The brussels and esquites were great. Im not a big parmesan guy, but on the brussels it surprised me. The cornbread had a great texture as it was moist and held up nice; it wasn't dry and crumbly. I prefer my cornbread sweet though. Id pass on it next time. Upon request, the pickles were great, but the pickled onions not so much. They were more bitter and "onion'y" if you know what I mean (it tastes like they used white onions, the ones that go on hotdogs). Im used to them being a little sweet when I get them from bbq places and even Mediterranean spots. And lastly, I didn't like the blue cheese too much it was more bitter (im used to sweeter blue cheese similar to Ken's). Another thing I'd pass on in the future. Overall, the main courses and sides were good. I recommend and would go back again to get the same things and even try the white meat chicken.
