    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.

    Soy Glaze lunch special (half eaten - sorry, not sorry)
    Amanda H.

    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!)

    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.

    Garlic soy boneless wings and pickled radish
    Shannon M.

    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!

    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.

    Every bite of that chicken I kept saying "oh lawd". It was delicious, hot crispy chicken with wonderful flavor. For lunch, I ordered the drum meal(spicy and soy sauce) with steamed rice. Omg. What a treat. Fast quick service. I was pleased.

    Fries were good! These are very crispy and crunch but still soft on the inside. 4/5

    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!

    Soy garlic chicken bibimbap
    Rerajitha M.

    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!!

    STACY M.

    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 !

    Chicken Fried Rice

    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.

The chicken was perfectly crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and the spice level was just right to give it a kick without overpowering the taste. Every bite felt like a culinary adventure, with the freshness of the ingredients shining through. The sandwiches are awesome and the spice level can be ridiculously hot if you are into that. Finally a place that actually lives up to my hot level... The boba and milk shakes are the bomb as well! Did I mention the waffles? It's made with a funnel cake batter. It's probably one of the best waffles I have ever had. It's a great way to end the meal. I would come for breakfast to have those waffles. Plus, the cozy atmosphere and friendly staff made the whole experience even more enjoyable. The red on black was very cool with the custom mural. If they had shirts with that mural on it, I would buy one. If you're a fan of spicy, tasty, and fresh chicken, this place is an absolute must-visit!

The small one, which we got, is pretty substantial. It has two chicken tenders, which are breaded and fried, and served with your preference of spicy seasoning, cider slaw and pickles. My husband got the mild. I got the medium. The medium had a nice kick to it. I might try the hot next time. My husband said the mild had a very slight kick to it, and was perfect for someone, like him, who doesn't like really spicy food. We ordered their waffle fries, which were delicious. The order was big enough to share. The counter person was very nice, and answered all of our questions. The sandwiches took about 10 minutes. The one major downside to this place was that it was very unkempt. The napkin holders and table tents on the tables were filthy. The windows were covered in smudgy fingerprints. The garbage can was sticky and dirty. Also, the menus we were handed did not match up to the menu behind the counter. The items are called different things. It was very confusing. We will be back because the food was really really good, but I hope the owner cleans this place up a bit.

I recommend getting a beer flight to try different flavors. Or once you find something like you (for me, it was the Brightfire) then you can get a pint! Their beer list is extensive, there are so many taps to try and they have some seasonal beers too. Their food was good and surprisingly gourmet. Each time I came here I ordered their wings because they were irresistible. You can even do half-half sauce for an order of six wings, which I appreciated because not all resistances will do this special request. It also shows that their wings are freshly prepared, and their kitchen went above and beyond to make a customer happy. I love their hot honey and buffalo. My husband has tried their patty melt and their Reuben sandwich. Nothing beats a brewery with nice people, great beers, and the gourmet food was just the cherry on top. They have a ton of space inside, don't let the strip mall entrance deceive you; bar seating, high tops, low tops, and a whole other dining area in the back if you want a quieter space. They have something similar to trivia on a weeknight, survey slam (?), and now that it's warmer, their patio is open! Some folks have mentioned slower service, but each time we've been here, we were well taken care of. I'm a huge fan of Hopvine!

We decided to wait and have them remake our pizzas since we were very interested in trying this out. After 15 minutes a staff member came out and said the dough was still coming out raw. They thought something must have happened with their oven that it wasn't working properly. My review is bias since I didn't really get to experience the full potential this spot has. Even though things were less than ideal, the staff members were very nice and accommodating. We were given a full refund and offered a discount if we were to come back and give them anything chance.

This one's building looks like a beautiful lodge. While there is an online Yelp waitlist (that goes up to 6 people), we had a party of 8 so I called the restaurant and they were happy to put my name down for a reservation. We came to celebrate my dad's birthday. We brought a cake to share, and when we arrived, our server was gracious enough to store it in the fridge until we were ready. We had 6 adults and 2 kids. Kids under a certain height (I forget the details exactly) are free. So we didn't have to pay for the little ones, and not like toddlers appreciate hot pot anyway. It was more, "how do we make sure they don't touch the pot?!" which went totally fine. It's to position the high chairs the furthest away from the knobs/hot surfaces. On our end of the table, we got the half-half broth of classic marrow and the gold cabbage marrow. The golden marrow was SO GOOD. I would get this again and again, because it's hot/sour; the flavor of pickled cabbage and the spice of Szechuan peppercorns. Our server said the spice builds over time, and it did. It was so flavorful that I barely used my dipping sauce. If you like hot/spicy and sour, choose this broth, it is DELICIOUS. The sauce station and the prepared food buffet was located in the middle-back of the dining area. It's a little packed and cozy in there, especially during the dinner rush, you may need to wait a little longer or keep an eye on the area to determine when to get out of your seat. This same area has self-service personal ice cream cups, soda, additional toppings/veggies/proteins, buffet (fried rice, fried chicken, egg rolls, fried buns) AND the sauce station. What I did love is there was a gentleman who was making balloon animals/hats/characters for sale near the front of the restaurant. He says he does this occasionally when he doesn't have other gigs like parties or weddings, etc, so my kiddo and my niece each got a cat and a bunny, respectively. This made their day! And it was nice for them not to be strapped into a high chair the whole time, and have something to entertain them. Overall, 4 shining stars! It would have been great if they had private and semi-private rooms like the Bridgeport location, but I think this wasn't possible due to their building. It looked like they took over a from a Mangia Bubala Roadhouse (Italian and Jewish fare) which took over from a Connie's Pizza. This place has gone through some changes, but it looks like Happy Lamb will be there for the long-run.
