    bulgogi fries and wings

    Food was delicious. coleslaw 8.5/10 and i typically do not like coleslaw. but it paired perfectly bulgogi fries 8/10 wonderful flavor wish there was more bulgogi. they didn't skimp ; it was just that good!! boneless soy garlic wings 5/10. yummy and crispy. a little salty for my taste (soy duh i should've know so that's on me) boneless korean bbq wings 7.5/10. great flavor wish it was a littler spicer but crispy and scrumptious. will definitely return. will try bone in next time and get the fries again!! smallllllllll gripe (bathroom cleanliness left lots to be desired)

    Soy Garlic Wings with fries

    Their chicken never fails for me! I ordered the garlic soy wings during lunch and a side of fries. The 6 wingettes were delicious and the fries were crisp and flavorful. Now the drawback...I know prices have gone up but to pay $14 for 6 wing portions...not whole wings, but literally the equivalent of 2 1/2 whole wings and a half of a potato! I enjoy the food but I just cannot pay that much more than 1-2 times a year. Imagine if it had not been lunch prices!!! Great food but truly overpriced!

    The fried rice is one of our favorite rices to buy. The flavor is excellent. We always order to go and pick it up. It is always ready when we get there.

    House Fried Rice

    One of the best quality bonchons I have been to. Service is always fast and friendly, the chicken is always crispy and flavorful, and the facility is clean. I've tried almost the whole menu, and my favorites are the garlic soy drumsticks, house fried rice, and bulgogi. The bibimbap, chicken katsu, and seasoned fries also never disappoint. But the real star of the show - the pork buns - are an absolute MUST at this particular Bonchon! Every time they're so juicy, flavorful, have a large piece of pork belly inside, and taste like heaven. Some of the reviews complaining that Bonchon is not the most authentic Korean cuisine - well of course not, it's a chain restaurant, however the food is still of good quality and taste. Definitely recommend!

    Bibimbap And Wings
    N.J. R.

    This was my second time and I stopped in for wings and settled for a small order of 6 wings and bibimbap. The wings are good and yet overpriced in comparison to a BWW or any sports bar or wing spot. These wings are superior but not with the price. The bibimbap was good. Comes out sizzling! Only negatives for me is I can't sub anything and they only serve it w white rice. If you never had this w purple or Black rice I apologize. But if you have you know why I'm disappointed. Service was good, friendly and the atmosphere is quiet and calming. This is a once in a while place for me personally.

    I've been a long time Bon Chon fan and have been going to this location for years. I went today and found out they have changed to a fast casual style of service where you order at the front and then sit down. They bring you the food in to go containers. They have done away with the fountain drinks. Cans and bottles available for purchase. The food was good as usual but I'm disappointed that this small restaurant is moving away from normal service. Used to be fun to meet others for lunch and socialize. Hope they go back to the other service style.

    It's okay not the best Korean place to eat. Chapche noodles it's sweet like a dessert. The kimchi is okay - I had store bought that tasted better . The wings are crispy and the sauce is okay . Over all it is over price for the quality of the food you get .

We normally sit in for about an hour and a half. Because we go on the regular basis, they should have some type of loyalty rewards system. we spend so much money there because of how often I like to go.

    First off I want to start by saying we came in at 10pm when they close at 11. We had 30 minutes of…read moreordering time. But upon walking in, our hostess/server immediately rolled his eyes and let us know the kitchen closed in 30 and we let him know that's ok. From the moment he sat us he was rude, cold, and unprofessional. He never gave us his name, Never brought us sauces (we had to ask) and everything he brought was slammed onto the table and walked away without a second thought. I'm used to being asked how everything is going, if we need anything, etc. None of that happened during our interactions with him. He barely checked on us, we had to keep calling him over. Then when we get the check once again no thank you for coming enjoy your evening anything. The lack of customer service made the experience unenjoyable to say the least. I understand we came in a bit towards closing but with still an hour I feel like we deserved better service and shouldn't have to charge that behavior to "we're about to close". Despite that, the food came out quick and was very good. The rice was a bit overcooked but I let it go. Overall, I would go back and eat there again, just maybe with a different server.

    Wow! This may be one of my new favorite restaurants in Charlottesville. I like Korean food already…read morebut haven't found KBBQ nearby so I am glad they opened and we got to try them. I would say in general the food is pretty high quality probably a 4-5/5 stars but the staffs friendly service definitely makes this a 5 star experience to dine here. Our server was personable and friendly and did an awesome job. The hosts were also very nice and someone else working I think likely the manager came to check on us as well and everyone was so so nice. We felt so welcomed. The service definitely takes it up a notch. The ambiance is modern and trendy and feels elevated. My partner noted how cute all of the utensils and bowls were lol. For the food we got the combination A for 2 which is basically just like the cheapest combo option for 2 people. We hadn't been before so we didn't feel the need to try something with more bells and whistles yet but likely would in the future. The combo A comes with 4 meats that are cooked one after another. You're served all your sides to start and the server can refill these while you eat. For two people, it is a LOOOTT of food. The banchans included broccoli (3/5) just kinda plain), pickled daikon (4/5), pickled collared greens (5/5), kimchi (2/5 - sorry, I like mine spicier!!), cucumber kimchi (4/5), pickled bean sprout (5/5) - and that's on top of the steamed rice, salad (5/5), egg soufflé (4/5), stew (5/5) and cheese corn (5/5). As you can tell, the majority of the sides were unbelievably delicious and well prepared. Each side is made in house and really only the broccoli felt kinda plain and even that had some sort of sesame oil on it. So none of the sides are just plain veggies you're getting fully seasoned carefully crafted food and LOTS of it. As for the meats, we thought they were quite good and went from our least favorite to our most. We started with the thinly sliced fatty beef brisket which, to be honest, was quite dry and a bit flavorless. It wasn't terrible but definitely was just kinda meh and needed the sauces they provided to elevate the flavor. This was maybe a 2-3/5. The next meat was the fatty pork belly. This was a 4/5. I don't LOVE pork belly as it is but to be honest this was seasoned and cooked quite well and I enjoyed it. The next two meats were totally amazing. The pork collar was my absolute favorite. Our server let us know that it can be a hard meat to cook and he did a fabulous job with it. Whatever the marinade was took it over the top and this came out perfectly tender, flavorful, and SUPER juicy! 10/5. I could eat this all day it was so good. The last meat was the spicy bulgogi and it was a 5/5. I loved it and my partner who is spice sensitive also liked it. A note on the spicy food - my partner cannot tolerate spice (yt man problems) and there were a number of things that did or could include spice. The only thing he couldn't eat because of spice issues was the spicy soy paste stew. Everything else (spicy bulgogi, kimchi, etc) was tolerable. So if you're worried about the spice level, don't be. The sauces provided were not spicy either. So, as far as the food went, we were very impressed. We also ordered drinks - I had pear juice which was kinda just 3/5. I didn't expect pulp so that's on me. My partner had the royal court cocktail. 5/5. This was pear with black tea and some spices and it was amazing! I couldn't keep eating it was so much food but my boyfriend didn't want to leave unless we tried dessert lol. So the server recommended the tiramisu and my boyfriend raised his eyebrows at me. This is one of my all time favorite desserts and so I am quite picky. The server said they make a Korean version with soy bean paste mochi and some other alterations. I was pretty skeptical because again I am super picky about traditional tiramisu as it is and I just in general don't love sweet stuff. This tiramisu I am not kidding it is a 10/5. This might be one of the best desserts I've ever had. I didn't really care for the mochi on top but the almond topping combined with the tiramisu was amazing. It has just the right amount of savory in the sweetness, the texture was perfect and the espresso flavor was nice and strong. Totally amazing. Our server told us that the servers who work here love it so much they had to be banned from buying it on their shifts because they would run out so often and I see why! I will dream about this dessert for many days to come... For two people with the combo drinks and dessert it came to about $150ish with taxes and tip. Totally worth it imo. It's definitely a nicer night out at the price point but you will not be disappointed. I am SO excited for the next time we come back! Thank you Bulpan for your awesome food and service - we are looking forward to forward to dining with you again. 감사합니다!
