Ordered on UberEats for self pick up. Food was beautifully packaged and ready on time. Good ambiance: clean, cozy, with a Christmas tree, wooden floor. Quick pick up. Crunchy chicken wings are great, but their half / half is also innovative (you can combine any 2 flavors you like). Very nice bao and japchae; for the side, I like their pickled radish. Seasoned fries are nice; the seasoning is actually parmesan cheese.

$1 wings

My Brazilian in-laws love fried chicken so I felt obligated to show them what Bonchon is all about. We pulled up for their happy hour special with one dollar wings and a very cheap lychee soju Martini and Japanese beer. I know it was happy, but I didn't think prices like that existed anymore, even for Monday night wings. I'd say the soy garlic was our favorite sauce, but you know with Korean fried chicken the focus is really on that crunch! That almost fish and chips like texture with the umami touch and a hint of sweetness... needless to say they were all very impressed and we had to order second rounds. The pork belly valve one was also a great price for a great size. This was nothing but value.

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

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.

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!

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.

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.

She was also very efficient and handled everything quickly. A BIG thanks to her. If you have never been to this place, I would highly recommend it.

Flew into town for a concert and saw this at the top of the recommendations, very serendipitous!…read more The place has a great atmosphere from the moment you walk in, the decor has a unique kitsch and the music is a definite vibe as well, and that's before you meet the staff. The staff was friendly front to back, hostess, waitress, bar tender- friendly and knew the menu and had solid recommendations and knowledge of the menu. The food was great, we had rangoons for an appetizer, followed by their famous General Tso's and the Mongolian Combination, all delicious! Highly recommend this place if you're in the area! Shout out to Jason!

I came here with a couple of friends who live in the area. The initial vibe and aesthetic seemed…read morereally cool. I was excited for my meal and experience there. However things went downhill pretty quickly. I ordered one of their specialty cocktails, which is more expensive than most of their meals, which was just ok. The drink was pretty strong which I didn't mind but most of it was just ice and the gummy was a little stale. Overall it looked cool but didn't really justify the price. The service is really where I felt let down. The 2 friends that I came with got their food in a normal timespan but it took 20-30 minutes for me to get my food. When I asked about it (because clearly they forgot) they lied and said their kitchen was backed up and the order is being prepared. The restaurant was half empty at that point so it was a little hard to believe. Also another waiter came out 10 minutes later and said my food just started to get cooked and will be out soon. Both my friends were pretty much done with their meals by the time I got mine and I didn't get anything from the staff aside from an insincere apology and a bad excuse. For the price we paid I expected much better service and for the staff to go above and beyond when they make a mistake, which didn't happen. The food was good when it eventually did come out though so I I'll give it an extra star for that.

Came with my family and we ordered a smorgasbord of things, way more food than we could reliably finish between four people. We got the Seoul hot chicken bao buns, curry laksa, roti canai, chili crisp wontons, jerk wings, gochujang salad, edamame, nasi lemak, and one other dish whose name I can't remember at the moment (told you we ordered a lot!). One of the standouts for me was the roti canai; I liked the texture of the roti and the curry it came with was flavorful (though it's a shame that it arrived after all the entrees, despite it being an appetizer). The nasi lemak was pretty good too. I can't say any of the other dishes we had were particularly good or memorable. Not a place I'd be able to recommend for its food, unfortunately. To add insult to injury, the service felt quite lacking. It started off well: we were greeted really warmly by one of the chefs (he also seated us because there was no host present at the time). He explained the concept of the place to us and gave us a preview of a family-style prix-fixe option they offered. After that, however, all semblance of "service" disappeared. Our server took our orders and delivered them to our table, and that was it. Things arrived in a super strange order; one person got a single entree while the rest of us looked on, then finally more things started arriving, but the whole thing just felt chaotic and strange. There was no friendliness, no apology, no information shared with us throughout. Though we were told our server would tell us more about the family style option, he never did; when I finally asked about it, he said he didn't tell us because he figured we'd wanted to get cheaper stuff since it was happy hour. I can understand the thinking, but shouldn't that have been our decision? Can't help but feel like he was making an excuse to gloss over his mistake. Speaking of happy hour, I will say that that seems to be one of the perks of this place. Five bucks for a few bao buns or some wings is pretty good in this economy! That's maybe the only reason I could see myself ever going back after this experience. Too many better places exist that I'd rather repeat or try. I should note that I started this review with a 3/5, since nothing seemed egregious, but by the end realized it was really more of a 2/5 experience between the meh food and the bad service. Had one of those been better, it'd def be a 3/5. P.S. Random sidenote: The "veggie-ish" menu was a bit confusing at first. All the items on the list seemed to have no meat, except for one -- the Vietnamese chicken salad. We had one vegetarian in our group so it stood out to us as a strange grouping of things on the menu!

Ordered the Mogu Shiitake Mixian Noodles like last time; overall it was solid, though the hard-boiled egg probably could have benefitted from a little more time in the broth, but it was near-closing, so not a big deal. Unfortunately, the service quality has ebbed since my last visit. My server, while outwardly calm and friendly enough, was eager to remind me of their imminent closure thrice during my meal. I eventually had to say "Yes, I'm aware" to ensure I understood. I suffer from heartburn and need to pace my meals, so this felt like a rather passive-aggressive "get out" which I didn't appreciate for the sake of my own physical health. Moreover, I asked at the end of my meal if I could apply a $5 off coupon I received for my birthday. The server told me that the manager has to be on duty in order to apply the discount code, and that they already left. I found this bizarre, having worked with Toast POS systems before, I know this isn't a difficult thing to train your staff on. This was compounded by the fact that I had to wait an additional 10 minutes for another employee, ostensibly an assistant manager, to apply it, and she wasn't even aware until I flagged her down. Again, solid fare; always love when I get to stop in to Yunnan for that reason alone, so I still recommend it. Unfortunately, I think the management should circle back on a few items with the staff in terms of service quality.
