    Returned to try another entree at this newly opened establishment much to my disappointment in comparing this day to the soft opening-- the chicken was better a month ago than now. Prefers this was an off day even though the customer service had improved. My issue was with the chicken breast, drumsticks and the cold slaw. My opinion is that the entree lacked moisture-- very dry to my taste -- the cold slaw was sour or beyond the control date (giving the sliced veggies an old not fresh taste) -- yet my rice was good. I am sure they are still working out the bugs, and I'll try another day when quality control should improve. Nonetheless, the surrounding sound is always peaceful with FIFA softly showing in the background.

    I am excited that Des Moines is getting a Bonchon. Finally we have other Korean chickens here, but this one is the closest to me. Overall, the chicken wings are really good and crispy. The bao buns were OK. I was expecting more flavor. The food took a little bit longer than expected, especially since there was no one waiting.

    Fast service! Clean inside area for dining. Portions are awesome. Pricing very fair. Idk why it wasn't more busy...this place is great. The chicken sandwich w/ spicy sauce was fire!

    Five chicken strips with side of coleslaw.

    First time at Bonchon. I got the five chicken strips that comes with a side of coleslaw or pickled radish. I chose coleslaw and tried soy garlic and Korean bbq for my sauces. I was worried at first that I wouldn't have enough food as my chicken strips looked pretty small, but the chicken was hot and fresh when it came out and very crunchy. The coleslaw was good. Typical coleslaw. It's just enough different than Basic Bird that I'm glad I tried it. Next time I might add an extra side. Service was good. The restaurant is pretty small so be aware. I would go back.

    Okay. Here we go. Husband me and our toddler went to this Bdubs. My husband and I used to go all…read morethe time in college. SHOUTOUT TO OUR SERVER WILSON!!! On our way to bdubs, we looked up the ratings. Things were not looking good with a 2.1/5 average score. Reading the reviews made us nervous. We decided to take a chance. We are happy we did!!! Was service good? It certainly was. And I'll tell you why. I asked if spicy garlic was good. I got "I don't know. I don't like it. But maybe if you like spicy food." Appreciate the honesty. Hubby ordered a second beer. Never came. But we didn't care because we were having such a good time!! I ordered a beer and server said they didn't have the kind I asked for. Checked and I saw it on the way in on the front door lol. Made us laugh a lot. But overall love our server's energy and overall vibes. Food was fire and nostalgic. Don't let the reviews scare you away. We had a great time and good food. Lots of laughter. We WILL be back for some more yummy wings. Happy to be the first 5-star review in over a year but they definitely deserve it. #BringWDMBdubsBack

    I am devastated to report this - but overall everything about our experience was poor…read more I asked for a booth, and regret that. Only because, I would've preferred sitting at a clean table...the ground looked like a small child had thrown their entire meal on the ground, we ended up sitting together on the "cleaner" side of the booth after wiping crumbs off our seats. Our menus were sticky & the table matched. I am praying the table was sticky due to cleaning materials, however, the menus were not clean. 18 minutes later I went to a computer with a few servers and asked that we be seen. They had switched sections & our server didn't know we were her table. We put our food & drink orders in, all which came out quickly, however, I think the wing quality has gone down - near the end of our meal someone nicely cleaned the floor near our table. I will not be back to this location.
