Very tasty and enough quantity food. Went for dinner with friends. Ordered 3 dishes, wings and one lychee soju. Our total bill was around $76 (excluding tip) Casual place. Nothing fancy but decent enough for regular food. Service was good too. read more

Ordered wings, Korean dog, and a few sides. The food was excellent and customer service was great.

Started with the pork potstickers. Delicious! Mama and I split the lunch special wings also in Soy Garlic. Seriously I love this sauce so much! Everything just was perfect! Yum! The consistency is insane here, I love to stop by on my way home and pick up an order of the chicken strips to go. (Pro tip: ask for them to brush extra sauce on the chicken!) read more

This is actually an update to previous review. I went back and Bonchon totally redeemed themselves. Had BBQ wings and seasoned fries of course. Absolutely delicious and I was totally satisfied. Hot crunchy juicy chicken. The sauce was perfect. I so enjoyed my dinner that I forgot to take a new photo. That's when you know you were focused on the meal. Thank you for making my 4th visit awesome. read more

This small, noisy place delivers up Korean style chicken (bone in or boneless) as well as an assortment of entree plates and sides. My boyfriend and I should have split one medium order instead of each getting a small. The boneless wing nuggets are quite meaty. I enjoyed the pickled radish as a palate cleanser since the soy garlic sauce is a bit heavy. We split a basket of the fries seasoned with Parmesan and herbs; they stayed hot and crispy throughout our meal. Service was efficient. The floor could have use a mopping; my shoes were sticking to it as I walked! read more

First time trying this place. Food was pretty solid. Great flavors. Ordered the fries and even with the delivery they were still pretty crispy outside and soft inside . Donuts were ok, but a bit too oily for my taste. Probably will not order again. Good traveled well, so a good choice when looking for delivery. read more

They're pretty quick with services and it always kept clean, Compared to a few other Bon-chon Locations, Their food quality is much better

After two years, it has finally opened!! After a week of opening, the restaurant is still learning its ways which is totally understandable. The restaurant in itself, is pretty nice, clean, but pretty limited to seating! There probably would be a big wait time during rush hour. I know during night time they were struggling a bit to get takeout orders out. They also stop taking order beforehand as well before they close. We arrived and we were seated right away! Our waitress Paula was nice and friendly. Our food came out in a mannerly time. Our food came out one by one and not all together (that is okay for me). The food was great. I have been to this chain restaurant before and we always enjoy their food! So good, I forgot to snap good photos of our food once it came out lol Soy Garlic Wings 4.8/5-- their wings are sooo crispy and cooked to perfection. The only thing we wish was that the wings were coated more of the glaze. It seemed like it was lightly coated. Raddish 3/5 -- we also have to have a side of raddish. It didn't seem like the raddish we had was fermented long enough. It didn't have much of the pickled flavor but tasted plain. Udon noodles 5/5 -- very good! Had flavor and the portion is great. Pork Bao Buns 4/5 -- some of our buns had a small portion of pork belly in it. We wish it had bigger slices. Other wise, the flavor and texture is really good. Fries 4/5 -- very crispy and crunchy but also has a soft texture inside! I would def come back! read more

We wanted something quick and casual and headed to Bonchon on a Saturday evening since we were in the area. It's a casual place with a Korean sports bar vibe and service was quick. We didn't get the famous fried chicken this time. We both got bibimbaps instead. I got the spicy chicken bibimbap and my partner got the soy garlic chicken bibimbap. Both the flavors of chicken were good. The spicy chicken was actually spicy which I liked. The bibimbap came in a hot stone pot with lots of veggies and quinoa, along with rice. The gochujang sauce came on the side and was spicy and delicious. We thoroughly enjoyed it. Definitely recommend getting the bibimbap!! read more

I truly love the food here! I have dined in, carried out, and ordered delivery, and I am sure I will continue to eat here many more times in the future. There are several menu items that I love like the tteokbokki, potstickers, and of course their Korean fried chicken! Staff is always friendly and service is always great. read more

This place defines food excellence! If you want a fantastic, crispy and flavorful coating on your chicken, a wide array of flavors and sauces, and food that is fresh and tasty as the day is long, GO TO BONCHON and treat your family to this wonderful cuisine. It has been a very long time since I've found a local, quality establishment that has really satisfied my craving for wings, drums, and sides to the degree that Bonchon has done. Great food, decent prices, and nice, friendly staff. read more

Ordered the chicken sandwich and for the price it was extremely disappointing. Instead of a large chicken breast as described it was 3 small tenders thrown into a bun. Hopefully it was an off day. read more

I eat Bonchon fairly often and typically don't had an issue when I ordered takout and then I decide to eat-in instead. Usually I would order more to make up and I tip well. But I was very rudely told that 'it's takeout, you can't eat-in'. It was not busy, no one was sitting at the bar and half the tables were empty. Yeah, I'm done with Bonchon, go to the 20 other Korean food places.... CM, bbQ chicken, Kogii Express read more

Korean Fried Chicken is the buzz nowadays, so when a bright new store opened up in the 'hood, I had to stop in. It's a pleasant place, like I said, bright, with nice polite cheery Korean servers. I was with my cousin who has an adventurous palate. I made sure we over-ordered a bit as is my custom when I visit a new place. Takoyaki (Fried Oyster-filled dumplings, more like a savory donut-hole), Fried Zucchini and Kimchi were ordered for starters, followed by the Drum and Wing Combo. There are two choices for the sauce, Soy-Garlic and Spicy. You're able to have your order come split in both versions-a nice and welcome option. A really tasty pickled radish came along with the Chix--you could get coleslaw as well, but both of us are Radish fans, so that was the call. Everything presented was very tasty indeed. The starters were all great and the Chix was really crunchy. Both sauces were on the sweet side, but not cloyingly so. The spicy wasn't overtly "hot". Definitely "different" but not so outré as to scare a more timid palate. I wonder if you could get the crunchy-crunchy chicken WITHOUT any sauce. We had canned soda, so no free refills. There is a selection of Asian soft drinks, like Ramune, but those portions are pretty small (and expensive). Beers, too. My cousin swung with a Guinness. For afters I ordered Lychee Sojus. Soju is essentially a Korean Sake. This little tipple was so tasty, we could have had about 5 each, but that would have fouled our driving skills on the way home, and put press to a fine night. Better to err on the side of caution. I think this is a "dine-in" place, 'cos I don't think these dishes would travel very well. The last pieces of chicken on the tray didn't have quite the same smack as the first ones picked up. They were still tasty, mind you, but didn't have that desired "snap". This ain't KFC, folks-it's a notch above. Well worth a visit, and don't let the "foreign-ness" scare you. It's a fun and easy way to add "something new" to your palate. read more

Sad to see this one go downhill. I really liked their food because it was always fresh and the service was good. Now only the service is okay and the food especially wings are cold and sad. I get more drumettes than wings when you specifically ask for wings. A few times they were out of stuff. So I have gone sour on this place. I really hope they fix whatever issue they have and start serving fresh(er) food again. read more

The service was nice just needs more actual plates not paper plates. The food is phenomenal! The bulgogi and Tteokbokki were flavored perfectly including the fried chicken. read more

I came here with my family wanting to try something different for dinner, and this place was excellent! Service was admittedly a little slow, but the food more than made up for it! I had chicken wings and legs with yangyeom sauce, and it was fantastic! Nice and crunchy, with a phenomenal sweet and spicy flavor! My family also ordered some fries topped with cheese, spicy mayo, and beef, and they were delicious. Also, the pot stickers were really good. Even the coleslaw, which I'm usually not a big fan of in general, was great! Come here 9f you're out by Fox Valley and need something different! read more

I am so happy they are finally open! Excellent korean fried chicken. The strips are tasty, but it's all about the legs! Soooo crunchy and yet so juicy and delicious! The fried pickles are well seasoned and comes with a great dipping sauce. If you are new to korean fried chicken, ldon't let the prices chase you away. The small order of chicken legs is $15, but you get 5 HUGE legs! They are double fried (not greasy!) and glazed with either a soy garlic or spicy sauce. Worth every penny! Support local and check this place out! It is ! read more

Parking is in a parking lot right near the restaurant, which is in a strip mall. The entrance was doable if you are using an assistive device as long as someone can open the door for you. We went on a Friday evening and it was very busy however the staff did a very good job of keeping up. The restaurant was pretty small and a little cramped, so you better be ok with sitting near and overhearing other customers. The service was outstanding. The servers appeared to work as a team to keep orders coming out and drinks filled. The one issue was that the dishes came out staggered, so the first person served was almost finished when the last one was served. The food was very good and was served hot and fresh. We appreciated the mixed combos of multiple sizes. The coleslaw was pretty basic but the pickled radish was unique and helped cut some of the heat from the spicy chicken. All the chicken dishes were very crisp and flavorful. The zucchini was crisp but basic until you dipped it in the spicy sauce served with it. The takoyaki was served piping hot so it appeared as if the banito flakes were moving, it was very good but could have used a little sauce or salt to add something to it. Over all it was a nice casual meal and we will eat at again if we are in the area. read more

We at first went to Choongman chicken in Park to Shop but the hours listed on Yelp were incorrect and we didn't want to wait. So, we were happy to see Bonchon was finally open. The lunch specials are a good value compared to the Ala carte for sure. I loved that they offer a 4 wing with 2 drum lunch combo. I also love they will do half soy garlic and half spicy sauce. I opted for the coleslaw... I didn't want to pay extra for anything else, but looking around everything looked delicious. Hubby got the strips lunch special with soy garlic and was very pleased. Service was okay with an introverted server. Definitely recommend the food. read more

We have recently gotten into the Korean fried chicken craze and love Choong Man Chicken in Aurora so we're excited a new place was opening up in the same complex. While we love the bao and other menu items - the fried chicken was really heavily breaded, hard to bite into, and after a few pieces we were taking off completely as it was just too much. This is also a weird complaint but the pieces were huge - for wings, I prefer wing size (smaller) and this seemed like a plate of KFC size drumsticks. I would go again but order one of the other entrees instead. read more

We have been waiting for this joint to open for a very long time. What a treat! The choices on the menu are endless. We had the small boneless chickens strips (mild and spicy), potstickers and season fries. All three menu items put a smile on our face. Even the coleslaw was 5star! My wife and I now have agreement. Weekly visits and try everything on the menu. read more

Ordered takeout through grub hub from here. Super easy through the yelp app. We ordered the 20 piece wings but got wings and legs in our order. They were also kind of small. When we got them they were also soggy and not crispy. Not sure if it would have been different if we got them fresh in store. We got half Korean bbq and half soy garlic. They were flavorful, maybe a bit too salty. The kids loved them though with rice. read more

It was a very disappointing first try. I guess my expectations were a little high because how delicious choongmans chicken right next to it. I got a family pack (half&half) with garlic soy and plain. The plain chicken batter was too thick and the chicken had no flavor at all. The pickled radish was the only thing that tasted right. Soy garlic chicken tasted almost like the plain ones. Very little sauce and too much batter. The sauce was barely covering half of the portion. If you are looking for an authentic korean chicken I'd suggest try the choongmans chicken next door. You will realize the flavor difference is undeniably better there. I will give the benefit of the doubt and give 3 stars to this place only because the service was very good. However, if they don't get the flavor and batter right then that will be my last time visiting here. read more

We did a carry out. Unfortunately the food wasn't something that I was crazy about. Although the food I got for my friend said it was amazing. The service was good.

I visit Bonchon (in Cermak Chinatown / Chicago) often and have NEVER had a bad experience, EVER! I even refer family and friends to the brand. I have NEVER been sooooo disappointed in an order of chicken, as I am today, ordering from THIS location! About 45 minutes ago, I ordered a small spicy wing (10 piece.) Not only did the wings taste a DAY OLD (I.e. REFRIED), but the quality of the wings were low grade, very BAD quality. The chicken wings had a TON of fat on them, which low quality / cheap chicken has. Not only do I NOT eat low quality foods, PERIOD, I don't eat at restaurants that serve it!! I pay top dollar for quality!!! When you go to a grocery store and purchase the cheap chicken / party wings (like Great Value from Walmart), vs the more expensive brands, there are NOTICEABLE differences, INCLUDING the fat content on the wings! Cheap wings have a TON of fat, etc. on them. I visited this location once before and didn't have THIS issue! I paid $18.07 today, for low quality, fatty, OLD / reheated chicken wings, that I couldn't even enjoy due to the old taste and fat content! I couldn't eat all of the chicken due to its LOW quality. I am soooooo disappointed I can't believe I just wasted my time and money. I NEVER purchase low quality groceries OR restaurant food. I am so disappointed. read more

I ordered Bonchon for the first time yesterday. My boyfriend insists we always pair wings with watching basketball games. I have never had kbbq wings before yesterday. I ordered a traditional wing basket and fries. The wings were crispy and packed with flavor. I'm very picky about my fries but I did enjoy these ones. They were almost like the fries at Checkers. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for some good wings. read more

Amazing!! Run...don't walk here I literally dream of this food!! It's that good!! Bugogi fried rice....amazing!! Wings are delicious!! That crunch... I recommend eating there! Get a lychee Soju while you are at it!! Yum!!!!!!!! read more

The food is great. I prefer the wings over boneless. Service has been great the handful of times we have been there. My only complaint is spacing of the tables when it's busy. You are right next to people, especially if you have to walk back to the bathroom. I was doing a side shuffle. read more

We arrived late but they were still very accommodating. My son and I ordered a bunch of different things and it was all very good. I would definitely go back again. read more

Best jap chae in Naperville, great korean wings with a crunchy coating sweet with honey i think and a little spice. Not too hot spice wise.

Had the food at the bolingbrook location and was excited to try it out since it was close to home - they close the kitchen at 8:30 an hour before the advertised closing time. As I'm sitting here in front of the door at 9:06 they locked the doors and they close at 9:30 - so I don't trust these hours at all. Doesn't seem very trust worthy. Stinks because I was excited to share the food with my family after a long day. Maybe next time! read more

I took my daughter here for her birthday to grab some Korean fried chicken. The service was horrible, rude waiter, the food is overpriced, over cooked chicken. No thanks. Will not be back here. Wouldn't even try again for free considering the poor service. We waited 15 minutes just for waters and soda. I wanted to leave, but felt bad because my daughter wanted to try Bonchon. We regretted not leaving. Very unfortunate. read more

Would give zero stars if I had the choice. There's something to be said about first impressions and I received the worst here. The young hostess girl at the counter who half heartedly greeted me was either high or just didn't want to be there. Playing on her phone was obviously more important than offering a kind welcome when I mentioned that this was my first time at their establishment. Upon receiving a takeout order when I wanted to dine in I was rudely told that I normally wouldn't be allowed to eat my food there but that they would make an exception and this waitress literally had a scowl look on her face. Do not waste your money and dine here. This place is overpriced and they have horrible people skills. read more

My husband and I tried to go to a later dinner this evening and when we arrived the restaurant was almost full except for one table that could have seated us, but was set for 4 with a smaller table pulled up on the end. The hostess told us there was no seating unless we wanted to wait 20 min or sit at the bar. The bar is very uncomfortable for my husband and I so we asked if we could just sit at the empty table. We were told no because that table is "in case a bigger party comes in". My husband responded "but I'm a paying customer now". She still refused to let us sit there to eat. She could have easily taken that extra smaller table on the end and place it on another table for 4 IF a bigger group ever did come in. I don't understand how a business is willing to risk losing PAYING customers IN CASE someone else with more people should arrive. Makes no sense. We will driving further to other locations from now on. read more

Love their chicken, crispy, juicy, and both flavors of sauces are tasty. The service is super fast too if you have kids!
