    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!

    Pork Bun

    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.

    Drums 4 PC with 2spicy and 2soy sauce
    De'Laka B.

    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
    Tammy S.

    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.

    Soy garlic strips lunch combo with fries
    Joan S.

    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.

    It was great chicken just a lack of care for costumers, and sketchy kitchen staff. Probably dirty in the back won't be back again.

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 restaurant itself smelled like weed. My guess is someone may have smoked up before coming by to eat. I ordered the jr sando with medium heat and it was decent. The portion size is pretty generous considering this is the jr sandwich. I also got a side Mac n cheese and it was bland and flavorless. My husband tried the bbq sando and their waffle fries and enjoyed both.

    My experience with Hopvine Brewing was incredibly disappointing, and unfortunately it ended before…read morewe were ever able to order a single beer or meal. On July 26, 2026, my wife called the restaurant specifically to ask if their patio was dog friendly because we planned to bring our small dog. She was told that it was. Based on that information, we drove 31 minutes to the brewery looking forward to trying several of their beers. When we arrived, the employee informed us that only service animals were permitted on the patio. I explained that my wife had called ahead and spoken with a male employee who told us dogs were allowed. The employee admitted he was the person who answered the phone, but first claimed my wife never mentioned bringing a dog. I was present during the call and know that she specifically asked about bringing our dog. He then changed his explanation and said he "must not have understood." I found that explanation difficult to believe. I then informed him that our dog is a service dog. Instead of asking the questions permitted under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), he repeatedly asked to see the dog's credentials. Under ADA guidance, businesses generally may not require documentation or certification for a service animal. Even after I explained this, he continued asking for credentials. To make matters worse, this all occurred around dinner time when the restaurant and patio were completely empty--we were the only customers there. The entire experience left me feeling unwelcome and frustrated. Whether this was the result of poor employee training or company policy, the staff handled the situation in a way that reflected poorly on the business. I drove over half an hour to visit a brewery I was genuinely excited to experience, only to leave without ever being served. I'm an avid craft beer enthusiast who travels around the country reviewing breweries and sharing my experiences. It's unfortunate because Hopvine had several beers I was looking forward to trying and reviewing. Instead, my only takeaway from this visit was a very disappointing customer service experience. I hope Hopvine provides better training to its staff on both communicating accurate information to customers and understanding the ADA's requirements regarding service animals.If you're posting this publicly, you may also want to attach any evidence you have (such as a call log showing the timing of the call) and keep the review focused on your firsthand experience, as that tends to make reviews more credible. Until then I would avoid this brewery at all cost until they can update their pet policy and provide better customer service.

The music was really loud, it was hard to have a conversation without using an outdoor voice. I decided to try the paneer tikka masala veggie pizza. Service was extremely slow. It took about 40 minutes for it to come out. I took a few bites and realized/saw the dough was way too raw. Unfortunately I did have to send mine and my husband's pizzas back, there was just no way either of us should eat them. 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.

From the moment we walked in, the aroma and energy let us know we were in for something special. Ordering was harder than expected not because of the menu, but because I kept eyeing everyone else's plates being served. Everything looked so good. After some back and forth, we finally settled on the baked chicken, shrimp, and smothered pork chops, each with two sides. Every single bite was flavorful, comforting, and clearly made with love. The baked chicken was tender, the shrimp perfectly seasoned, and the pork chops, Fall-off-the-bone and packed with rich, savory goodness. The sides were just as satisfying classic, soulful, and cooked just right. The service was warm and welcoming, and our waitress was incredibly friendly. The ambience ties it all together relaxed, inviting, and filled with the kind of vibe that makes you want to stay a while. The Soul Spot is more than just a meal, it's an experience. One I'll definitely be coming back for.
