    They have a $1 wings deal ( dine in only) on mon and tues so we went n got us 15 soy garlic wings. It was delicious and crunchy as always ( been to many franchise of this brand) but $6 for the little fries in the photo feels a bit pricy. Inside was very quiet no music at all. Food came out quick as we were the only table but i imagine it could be quite crowded on the weekend since this is a popular k chicken brand. Ranch/ any sauce is not complimentary ( 70c for one). I like the pickled daikon a lot and it's a good amount in that tub for $2.50. Overall this deal make it worth the price, normally is quite pricy so glad we went n enjoyed it.

    Bonchon is our go to spot for Korean Fried Chicken. It is crispy, flavorful, and never disappoints. Service is friendly. The menu has everything for everyone.

    This establishment serves the best Korean fried chicken *I've* ever had thus far. Every bite of skin was crispy, the meat was always tender & juicy, and the soy garlic flavor is so delicious to me that it's the only flavor I've been able to get. And I've been here a handful of times. The garlic fries are great as well. Generously seasoned, very crispy, and the garlic punches you which I'm definitely a fan of. The donuts are nice as well. Not to sweet with a pillowy interior and slightly crunchy exterior. I love this chicken so much that any time I'm nearby I HAVE to come by and at least get a small order of deliciousness...

    Empty and sad. Hmm...

    I ordered a chicken katsu. The menu says "served with cole slaw". I told the server the cole slaw is missing and she says they don't serve it with cole slaw but she'll give it to me anyway...ok...? Then I dig into the food and the rice is dried out, the chicken is overcooked and tough, and the cole slaw tasted... Bitter? I don't understand what happened to this place... I paid $14 for this meal that I'm rather dissatisfied with. When they opened they gave so many sides and the food was genuine really good. I'm disappointed and I'm sorry to say I'm never returning. They are looking like they are on their last leg of life here. So good luck on your next venture.

    Their menu is updated, they no longer have the 12 piece wings. Delicious and crispy! Good size drum sticks and flats! They're quick also!

    First time coming here, the place was empty just 2 people were working that evening. This place is a B grade but I still have it a shot. Man, the food did not disappoint. The bulgogi fries is bomb along with the chicken fried rice!

    First time trying Bonchon, and as a fan of Korean fried chicken, it exceeded all my expectations! We ordered the soy garlic and original drumsticks. The crunch on them was incredible. Also, it was thick and did not lack meat at all. Also ordered a side of fries and the noodles which were a great recommendation by the cashier. Will definitely be coming back.

    Bonchon is one of my favorite Korean fried chicken chains and they never seem to disappoint. It's been a while since I've been back to Bonchon and it's the first time for me at the Artesia location. Service was quick for dine-in on a weeknight and it was a casual vibe. They have new flavors like Yangnyeom as well. Glad to see their menu updated! Note: their fountain drinks for this location are Stubborn sodas, but have canned sodas available as well.

    I had lunch at this Artesia location with a friend. It's a fast-casual place where you order at the counter and your food is brought to your table. They have several chicken plates but are mainly known for their chicken wings/drumsticks. I decided on one of their lunch specials: 6 piece bone-in chicken with fries and a drink. I don't do spicy so requested 3 pieces with the garlic-soy coating and 3 pieces with the traditional Korean coating. Their soda machine was out of order so I was offered a canned beverage of my choice from their cooler by the pleasant and patient woman at the counter (I grabbed an A&W root beer). I took my first bite of one of the pieces....CRUNCH! Yah, that was loud. The coating was the most deliciously crunchy I've ever had. The flavor of both coatings were fantastic (they tasted the same to me but one had a mild garlic taste) and neither was spicy. The meat itself was hot, tender, and moist. The amount of meat on the wings and drums was plentiful, not the pathetically meager amount one often gets on the tiny pieces served at BWW and other places. To the best of my recollection this might be the best Korean fried chicken I've had. The delectable fries had a crunchy coating as well. The serving size was large considering the wallet-pleasing price of this lunch special. I'll definitely be back and hope they open more locations nearer to me.

    Drums. Crunch with every bite.
    Ray H.

    Dang they have some good tasty/crunchy chicken here! I went with the drum sticks half & half, soy garlic/spicy. Chicken came out hot and fresh and some of the best chicken i had! I thought the chicken were little wing stop style drums but no these are regular size drums. I had to take some home. I also got a order of onion rings which were good with ranch dressing. They are located in a shopping center on with the boiling point is. The inside is clean and good variety of fountain drinks. The girl at the front desk was very sweet. Going back for the potstickers and shrimp. Definitely check this place out.

    This was my first time here, and as a somewhat newbie to authentic Korean food (outside of the…read moretrendy Kbbq spots), I was a huge fan! From the friendly service that made us feel like home, to the delicious food, everything hit the spot. We ordered the cold noodle, seafood pancake, bibambap, and short rib combo. All the dishes were so good! And all the banchan that came with it was the cherry on top. The only negative was the table was kind of small for all the dishes...though that could have been user error with us ordering way too much. Portions were surprisingly big, especially the seafood pancake. The whole time, our littlest one was making a mess and the ladies that worked there did not seem perturbed at all, and kept commenting about how cute he was and interacting with him. This type of service and response made us feel more at ease and able to "enjoy" our meal, and that makes a world of difference. I would recommend! Note the parking lot is a little small.

My mom also tried this place and recommended it, so I felt confident this would be a spot I would be coming often. We ordered the naengmyeon combo with spicy marinated pork and a side of soybean paste stew. The lady was nice when she seated us, but seemed a little bothered when we only ordered the above items, because she coldly asked "if that was all" and we said yes. She walked away then yells back asking if we wanted rice because rice wasn't included, and we said no. Despite the rough start with the vibe of the lady who took our order I was still hopeful the food itself would make up for it. Unfortunately, the food was mediocre at best. I've never had naengmyeon that had so much chili flakes, and as someone who doesn't mind them, it was weird. The soybean paste soup was bland. And the side dishes were just okay. After the meal, I got really thirsty and my face was puffy so they are using msg. If it was a good meal, I wouldn't have minded the msg, but for food that was mediocre at best was not worth it. Although I won't be back, I did see people ordering for take out nonstop, so there must be some other dish that is giving them customers.

    This place holds a special place in my heart as one of the first local Korean restaurants I've…read moreeaten at since I moved to the area. It's in a small, almost empty-ish plaza, but it's a little mom-and-pop gem. Ambiance (5/5): Walk right in and you'll see that it's on the small side, but a cute and simple restaurant with family vibes. Depending on the time of day, it can feel somewhat empty while at other times somewhat busy. Service (3/5): It's nothing too special, but the workers are always friendly. It's somewhat self serve. You order at the front and then you wait for them to call your order. Then you pick up your tray of food, eat, and place the trays towards the front when done. Food (5/5): Everything we have eaten here over the years is so yummy. Their hot stone bibimbap is chock-full of ingredients with just the right amount of sesame oil and flavor; we often have to pack some of it to go. Their army stew (budaejigae) is my absolute favorite, and I've compared it to a lot of other Korean stew places, some way pricier and this one still takes the cake. It has a wonderful roasted flavor from all the meats they put in and I love going for the ramen first. I always take extra to go since it's small but filling. The best part? Let's not forget that they have self serve all-you-can-eat banchan (side dishes) and they do not skimp on variety. There's your usuals like the napa kimchi, radish kimchi and fish cakes, but they also have mac salad, potato salad, japchae and other goodies which works well for your picky toddlers. Overall, this is a wonderful little restaurant that deserves a visit over and over when you're just craving some comfort korean food at decent prices.

The food is made to order and very tasty. We ordered all their "must try" and it was really good. The side dishes were definitely home made. I highly recommend the seafood pork bone soup noodle because it was super tasty, but be aware that mild is still kind of spicy. The lady in the front was strict but reasonable, just like any real place should be. Customers were mostly family they knew the place and chatted with the boss. The atmosphere is very simple with tables that you can sit anywhere.

We mentioned it to our server and she said she'd bring it over, but she never did. We kept waiting while everyone else was already eating. Then came the part that honestly grossed all of us out. We had stacked all of our dirty side dish plates together to help clear space on the table. When we asked for refills on the banchan, instead of bringing fresh plates, the server literally unstacked the dirty used plates from the pile and started refilling those same dirty plates. That felt extremely unsanitary and honestly like something a health inspector or corporate would not be okay with at all. To make things worse, when we asked for a water refill, the server spilled water all over my Crocs and socks. Accidents happen, but there was barely any apology or urgency after it happened. The floor was also super dirty and the entire restaurant just felt poorly maintained. Between the careless service, lack of cleanliness, and unsanitary handling of dishes, this location seriously needs improvement. We came in excited to finally have a comforting meal after a long weekend and left completely disappointed.

As a cheese lover, I only expect that square cheese to be on a burger or cheese melt. The Bulgolgi Fries could serve 3 people. But it was drenched with sauce, and spicy sauce. Not enough Bulgolgi to pay $20. The cut of fries were this nd tasted like sweet potato. It just didn't fit my taste buds. The Garlic noodle okay. That's Al I have to say about that. I'm glad I finally tried this place, but I don't know if I would come back for anything on their menu. I would rather go next door or across the street.
