This is one of my favorite spots to grab a bite to eat. The chicken wings are amazing! Fries, mopo, and rice are all really good too. I've always gotten excellent service and hot, fresh food. read more

I had a pretty decent experience at Bonchon on Woodlawn. The fried chicken was good, with a nice crispy coating and plenty of flavor, and the sides were enjoyable as well. The menu has a solid variety with quite a few options to choose from, so there's something for different tastes whether you're looking for chicken, sides, or something a little different. My wife and I tried a sampler tray with fruit mocktails. The service was decent and our experience was overall pleasant. The restaurant itself, though, could use some updating. The interior feels a bit dated, and it could definitely be cleaner in some areas. It wasn't bad enough to ruin the meal, but it did take away a little from the overall experience. One thing I do like about this location is the convenience. It's in an area surrounded by other restaurants and stores, so it's easy to stop by while you're already out shopping or grabbing food. Overall, I'd say Bonchon was okay to good. The food and menu selection are the highlights, while the atmosphere and cleanliness could use some improvement. I'd come back for the chicken and variety, especially if I'm already in the area. read more

I went there after an appointment when they initially opened. I parked upstairs and walked down. There location is off the main road so you have to park on the side or in the lot from what I could see. The woman at the entrance was friendly and helpful. I ordered boneless weeks with the Korean bbq and another sauce. It came with plain rice (no substitutions allowed). The wings were delicious. The rice balanced it out. I would go back as there were a few items that I would definitely try on the menu. It was a cool atmosphere. The girl at the front was friendly and helpful. It was a good experience overall. read more

This is my favorite wing spot! I love that they have the option of 2 sauces for one order. I highly recommend the soy garlic. I can't wait to try more sauces! The chicken is juicy, and the coating is crispy and flavorful. Their fries are very crispy and hot when they come out. I received great service from my waitress. I enjoy dining in. They usually have fun music playing and there is plenty of seating. I have not had to wait to get a table, but I believe they do lots of take out. There are also a few tables outside. I will be back! read more

Bonchon Woodlawn - Soy garlic (left) and yangnyeom (right) wings+drumsticks and Seasoned Fries - Korean Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

If you've never tried Korean double fried wings then you are missing out! You can rectify this situation though by stopping by Bonchon for some delicious wings! This fast casual chain has a Charlotte spot located in the Parktowne Village Shopping Center down the stairs on the bottom floor. The restaurant is small but there is indoor and outdoor seating as well as a bar area. If you are limited on time or would simply like to enjoy it in the comfort of your home, it is great to order to go as well as I find the chicken stays warm and fresh! They offer other menu items but to me the chicken is what you go for. You can order drumsticks which are larger, wings, strips, or a combo. They have multiple sauces to choose from including spicy, soy garlic, and Korean barbecue. If you love fried chicken but would like to try it with a twist, then give this place a try! read more

This might be one of the worst take out experiences I've had in a long time. My food was cold.. I had ordered a chicken sandwich & just left the restaurant to go to my car and I opened the box that had the sandwich in it and the chicken wasn't even hot... disappointing is an understatement. The service from the man who took my order was also not that friendly and seemed to act like it was inconvenient for me to even be there. The fries were hot but very greasy & barely any salt. My first time getting take out here and probably my last unfortunately. read more

Had a great experience when I visited on a Tuesday around 1:30pm for lunch. It was not busy at all and our waitress was friendly and efficient. Located in the shopping center across from Park Road Shopping center. Plenty of parking to choose from. It's downstairs where "Easy like Sunday" is located at. I ordered a "Bowl" which consisted of rice, carrots, veggies and chicken. It came in a piping hot bowl which made the food taste even better! Not a bad place for lunch and will return to try other things on their menu. read more

Although pricey, the food is very fresh and delicious. The fried Korean chicken is very crunchy. We ordered several different dishes and we all just shared everything. We went right during lunch hour and it was surprisingly slow and quiet. The service was quick and the food was super hot and fresh. Lots of parking due to the establishment being inside a shopping center. Lots of monthly specials and lunch specials available. read more

Bonchon in Charlotte was great, to say the least. We ordered their Bulgogi fries which were, excellent. We shared their 10-piece soy garlic wings with a side of white rice, and I had no complaints there. Overall, the food was great, Bonchon never disappoints. read more

I love Bonchon's wings. Their soy garlic flavor is always fresh with an amazing crunch that makes me want to keep coming back for more. I have eaten inside this establishment twice and the service is always fast and efficient. I have doordashed from this location 3 times and 2 out of the 3 times they gave me full size chicken legs instead of the wings I ordered. Very strange. read more

I stopped here again (once in a LONG time!) during lunch...and tried their Chicken Lunch Special (4 Drumsticks), with Radish (and also added Kimchi). Plus, I tried their Bulgogi Bao Buns as well. As always, their double-fried Chicken Drumstick was super-duper-crispy and drenched in flavor...YUM! Bulgogi Bao Buns were good...but somehow I thought they could have been better. Bulgogi wasn't popping with deep flavor (the way I like it), and the Bao Buns weren't warm (the way I like it). Still, I had no problem eating all of it. This wasn't a 5-star meal...but talk about a value-packed meal! The Chicken Lunch Special, which comes with 1 choice side, was only $10.99...probably cheaper than what you'd pay at McD's for Chicken Nuggets and Fries? Service was really good...fast, friendly and attentive! I live closer to South Charlotte, so I've been to the Bonchon on PIneville-Matthews Road more. Although the one on Pineville-Matthews is newer and more updated (with red booths!), I kind of like the vibe here more. I do wish they had on some festive overhead music. If I recall, there wasn't ANY overhead music...which kinda dampened the ambiance of the place. In any case, I'm definitely up for returning for more of their K-Chicken! read more

Bonchon Woodlawn - Fried Rice, soju, dumplings, Korean bbq Wings - Korean Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Korean fried chicken came highly recommended to me and Bonchon was the only place I knew in CLT that had it. The location I've frequented the most is E. Woodlawn. The restaurant is very casual, so it's the perfect spot to go with friends or family when you just want a relaxing, chill vibe. The staff has always been friendly, patient, and the food stellar. In terms of Korean Fried Chicken, the chicken is super crispy, well seasoned and I always have mine drizzled in soy garlic sauce. The sauce had a light sweetness to its savor, but it's not a sugar rush. Please note that prices may have changed as this review is a combination of visits I've had over the years. Signature Drumsticks (5-count)- ($13.55) Small Wings + Drums Combo (6 Wings/3 Drums) - ($14.05) Coleslaw - The coleslaw is okay, it wasn't memorable, but it wasn't bad either. However, coleslaw is always hit or miss at restaurants. Seasoned Fries ($5.95)- Crispy, seasoned goodness. Love their fries. Seasoned Zucchini Fries ($8.95) - the name is misleading. I was expecting zucchini in a fry shape, but this was just regular ol' fried zucchini. The name tells the truth with the word seasoned because this was some of the best fried zucchini I've had in life. It may just be in the number one spot. Since it was so good, the shape doesn't even matter. It's minuscule compared to the taste. Takoyaki ($7.15) - fried octopus dumplings drizzled with Japanese mayo, katsu sauce, and sprinkled with bonito flakes. - the highlight of this appetizer aside from the taste is the crispy outside that is paired with the soft octopus filling. I loved every bite. read more

The place is modern asian fusion cuisine, particularly on the emphasis of Korean based dishes. Place is a pretty casual feel akin to a quieter version of a sports bar but with a couple TVs. So don't expect it to get super lively as such. What makes this place worth a try is definitely the food. Their main specialty are street style Korean Fried Chicken. They come in a variety of flavor options, and are double fried to perfection. My personal recommendation is the Soy Garlic flavor. Despite their street style of food, they also have more traditional options such as Chicken Katsu, Japchae, and the signature Korean staple: Bulgogi and Bibimbap. Bibimbap is a notable dish because it is served on a hot stone bowl and it can fill you up by itself. My recommendation of protein is Soy Garlic and Bibimbap (shredded beef). As for services, the waitress that hosted us during our Saturday visit was very attentive and always took notice of what's going on at our table wether is a dropped utensil, or a refilled drink. Some things I actually noticed is that she was demonstrating traditional *asian specific* etiquette and respect whenever she interacted with our table. Props to her for going the extra effort to understand Korean/Japanese mannerism. So with the great experience, why 4 stars? Its honestly due to a smaller menu as well as pricing. Don't get me wrong, the food is excellent, and the proportions are agreeable. Its just that $70 for 4 people can go a long way in similar options nearby. All I'm saying is to offer cheaper menu options on the dinner side. This would allow a larger variety of people to come in for more casual eating. As for now, I'll visit this place more for special occasions. Overall verdict? Definitely give this place a try! I highly recommend Bibimbap. Just eat slowly since the hot bowl might burn you. read more

Bonchon Woodlawn - Bibimbap (Chicken soy garlic flavor) - Korean Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Not only was this the worst bonchon I've ever had, it's some of the worst takeout I've gotten period. The buldak in particular looked nothing like the dish - so much so that we are convinced they just put in the wrong container. This wouldn't be the end of the world if it was edible. Instead, extremely runny discolored sauce, and despite being coated in it, the chicken was incredibly dry and tough. It frankly resembled leftovers and tasted even worse. Never ordering from here again. read more

This was an amazing place to visit! The ambiance of the restaurant was so relaxing but yet, fun enough to have a conversation with friends! The food was so good! If you love spicy, get their spicy flavored items, it will leave your mouth burning! I was going to give a 4.5, only because the shrimp in the Shrimp Shumai was baby shrimp and a few came without the shrimp but I gave a 5.0 because everything else was really good and when we took it home and reheated it in the oven the next day, it was still good. The leftovers tasted just as good as the initial order! Our waiter H. Jin was so kind and helpful the whole evening with explaining their menu items and giving suggestions. You have to try it at least once! All the food we ordered: Pork Buns, Fried Rice, French Fries, Korean BBQ Wings, Spicy Wings, SoyGarlic Boneless, Spicy Potstickers, Half & Half Potstickers, Shrimp Shumai, White Steamed Rice. read more

Korean Fried Chicken is one of my food love languages and this did not disappoint. I had them 2 days in a row and the chicken was consistently pleasant. One meal takeout and one meal dine-in. Soy Garlic Wings: These are some of the best Soy Garlic wings I've had in Charlotte. Perfectly crispy, crunchy, and sauced down. I love that the wings were a typical size. Ambiance: The restaurant is laid back. With a full bar and casual K-pop in the background, this is the perfect place for anyone to come and experience. They have seating to accommodate both large families and dinners for 2. This is located on the bottom level of the business center, so be prepared to walk downstairs to access the restaurant. This location also offers lunch special pricing before 3 PM. The service while dining in was standard. Our waitress ensured we were cared for and even gave me a to-go water. The pickup experience could use improvement when ensuring the wait is minimal. read more

Bonchon Woodlawn - 10 Piece Soy Garlic Wings - Korean Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

As a longtime fan of the Bonchon franchise, I am in love with their fried chicken and should deserve more attention. Might be the best fried chicken in the area. The Korean BBQ chicken is a melody of freshness, crispiness, and juiciness. Its a perfect combo with their pickled radish, rice, and japchae, creating an awesome Korean medley in your palette. It's worth noting that "Bonchon" translates to "home town" in Korean, and eating here really gives the vibe of being at home. read more

Today was an unexpected surprise. We were originally going to Easy Like Sunday but were quickly told at 1:30pm they were not taking any more guests, so hubby and I decided to check out Bonchon Korean fried chicken. Upon entering we were told we could sit wherever we would like. Servers were quick and friendly. We ordered potstickers half and half as appetizers. And we drumsticks and wings combo half and half that comes with slaw and sweet tea. The chicken arrived at our table hot, crispy and delicious. The bill was about $46 but worth good quality and flavor. We definitely will return. P.S. bathroom was clean. read more

Incredible Flavor & Irresistible Aroma! Bonchon serves some of the best Korean fried chicken I've ever had! The crispy, perfectly seasoned coating locks in the juicy, tender meat, and the signature sauces add just the right kick. The moment you walk in, the amazing aroma of freshly fried chicken fills the air, making your mouth water instantly. Beyond the chicken, their Korean-inspired dishes are just as delicious. The bulgogi and kimchi are full of bold flavors, and the service is always friendly and efficient. read more

I love, love the fried chicken here. It is so crunchy and spicy. We shared the 5 piece order with rice. This time we tried the French fries. One regular order, and one with parmesan. Both were excellent. Very crisp and tastey. The parmesan added a nice flavor. We got a side of bulgogi ($5). It was very good and you could taste the marinade. However, it was a bit pricey for such a small side. The atmosphere is very casual. We came in wearing workout outfits and everyone else inside were dressed similarly. Our waitress was very nice and upbeat. She checked on us regularly. There's also a very small bar you could sit at if you prefer. The location is on the lower level of the strip mall facing Woodlawn. So if you park in the parking lot, you need to go down alot of stairs (and back up again -ugh). I could seriously eat this chicken every day though. read more

I love the food, the cooks do a great job getting the food out on time. Only thing I would say about the wings is that they sometimes over cook them. I gave this place two stars because of the customer service. I came into bonchon to eat by myself. The waiters and the manager seemed very enthusiastic when servicing a table full of at least 6 ppl but when they left it was almost as if I was invisible to them. One of the waiters and what seemed to be a manger began to argue and yell at each other. They just looked over at me, smiled, then continued to argue. It was very awkward especially when I noticed my food was ready, the cook kept ringing the bell, and neither one of them would stop arguing to go get my food. Once I got my food, my waiter never checked back in on me, never asked how good the food was, and I had to waive her down in order to pay for my food. No tip was given because all my waiter literally did was put food on my table. No drink refill or anything. I think the pineville-Matthews one is better but that's just me. customer service is big for me because it's hard to find at all in Charlotte. One should not have to ask the employee to do their job. read more
