    Finally decided to stop by for dinner at around 6 on a Saturday. You order at the counter and they bring you food, but they take quite a long time to take each order, so the line behind us had around 15 people by the time we ordered. We both ordered the wings, but soon realized we should've ordered the drumsticks, as we saw other tables' orders and the drums are MASSIVE. The wings are pretty small, definitely not from the same type of chicken lol! Also there were drums still but small ones? Not the massive ones that you get when you order just the drums? Kinda weird and confusing lol. Flavor wise, we ordered soy garlic and spicy, and both were delicious! Albeit a tiny bit salty on some bites. However, our wings were already pretty cold when we received them, which was a bit disappointing since I love a freshly fried hot chicken wing. The fries are so bad, don't order them. They have no salt on them; we had to ask for salt and pepper packets to try to salvage them (didn't help much at all), and are extremely soggy. It just tasted like fryer oil. All the employees were extremely nice though. They were attentive to the tables and providing refills on the fountain drinks! I would definitely come back to try some of the other dishes to see how those taste, but for korean fried chicken, I'd just go to bbq chicken downtown.

    I've been to Bonchon in other cities, but I think that I've had the best experience in this location. The restaurant is clean (i did not see the bathrooms though) and it's in a nice area with a parking lot. My group didn't wait too long for our order either. The staff was fast, friendly, and even helped with boxing our leftovers. Foodwise, Bonchon in general is pretty mid korean fried chicken (I think bbq chicken in downtown tastes way better), but it's a taste you can expect to be the same wherever you go. The food here tastes the same as the food in the Orlando location. Definitely did not disappoint just because it's not my first time going to Bonchon. Don't expect it to be the "Ultimate Korean Fried Chicken Spot," just know that the flavors there are something you can expect in most of their locations.

    I was excited to try the newly opened Bonchon location in Gainesville. I have visited Bonchon in several other states in the past and have generally found the quality to be consistent across locations. I ordered the large mixed chicken in the classic soy garlic flavor. Compared with my previous experiences, this location's version was slightly saltier; however, the portion size was generous and the chicken was exceptionally crispy, which is what Bonchon is known for. Overall, this is a solid addition to the Gainesville restaurant scene, and I am glad to see Bonchon expanding into the area.

    Bonchon just opened in Gainesville, and I had to try it since I was craving fried chicken. The interior is really nice. I loved the decor, LED lighting, and the big screens in front of the bar for watching sports. There are plenty of tables along with smaller two-seaters, and the space feels open and lively. I came in late on a weekday, so it wasn't too busy. Service was friendly, and they let us know upfront that the wait would be about 20 to 25 minutes after ordering, which I appreciated. I ordered the six-piece wings, half yangnyeom and half crunchy, plus the special fries. The wings came with two drums and four flats, all good-sized pieces. The wings were insanely crunchy, even after a 10-minute car ride home. I ate them right away and they held up so well. The yangnyeom sauce was great, slightly sweet with a nice kick of heat. The crunchy wings were seasoned perfectly and not dry at all. The fries were beer-battered and cheesy. Pretty good, but nothing super memorable. It definitely hit the spot and I would definitely get it again.

    Never tried this place before but word of mouth was that it was delicious! I'm glad we got to eat here. Everything was 10/10. We got the sampler and it was the perfect size for us and more! I'm not a big fan of dumplings and theirs was sooo good and crispy-love! The donuts are the best I've ever had and I've been daydreaming about them since. I personally ate of 2 of them they were so good and warm and come with a sauce. Definitely should try it! I have to go again and try their other items.

    Definitely still working out a few kinks at this newly opened Bonchon, but overall was a good experience. Think of it like Korean fast food. Not what you'd go for for authentic, but fast, tasty, and nice variety. Spicy chicken sandwich had a nice kick. Japchae had decent flavor--not true japchae flavor but yummy nonetheless. They were out of quite a few things (boa buns, sotteok sotteok, mapo corndog), but what we tried was all good.

    When it first opened and corporate was here AND you saw the lil Asian grandma cooking in the kitchen, IT WAS FIRE!!! THEN as the month went by and corporate had left, it went down hill. Everything that was perfect became too sweet, soggy, or sloppy. Getting resolution or customer satisfaction is very challenging. I gave it 3 tries and since then I haven't been back. I really wanted to love this place but without extensive & proper training or people who care, all you have is a modern clean storefront. I'll post the pictures of all three visits and show you what I'm talking about it. I think they opened in December of 2025.... I would save my money, until Corporate decides TO PAY ATTENTION. I gave it two stars because it has so much potential if they rectify their issues.

    Seoul sampler

    Food wasn't horrible but it's not something I'll come back to TBH customer service was great and the ambiance was nice.

    Seoul sampler & Edamame appetizer. Sampler comes with fried chicken, bulgogi fries, Korean street corn, pork potstickers and coleslaw

    This is my second time coming to this location and I have yet to be disappointed. Staff is friendly and helpful. Food came quick, hot, and delicious. (We came in right after it had been storming and were the only ones in the restaurant. We've came in before when it was crowded and it did take a little longer but was totally worth it) Highly recommend getting the Seoul sampler to share & try a little bit of everything!

    Chicken Katsu, no veggies.
    Jubilee D.

    The Korean Fried Chicken and the Chicken Katsu were the best! The flavors are really on point today. If you are looking for something that's not going to be that spicy, but not that mild either, choose both of these dishes! I promise you, you will not regret it.

But you can't eat the wallpaper. I'm looking at this chicken and I'm confused. I thought we were doing something sophisticated, but they brought out those boneless nuggets you find in the back of the freezer at 2:00 AM. Then they hit it with a drizzle of ketchup like it's a consolation prize. This isn't Korean Fried Chicken; it's a school lunch with a passport. It's dishonest. Then you got the pork belly. I don't know if this pig was an athlete or if it's just been sitting back there since the grand opening, but it's got the texture of a pink eraser. I'm chewing and chewing, just waiting for a flavor that never shows up. My jaw is doing a full-body workout. I didn't come here for a survival mission, I came here for a snack. And please, watch yourself when you pull up. There is a pothole in the lot that looks like a portal to another dimension. An asteroid literally made a home in front of the building. If you hit that thing, your car is staying there forever. The service is elite and the chairs are nice, but the kitchen is confused. It's style over substance. Take a picture for the 'gram, say hi to the nice server, and then go get a burger somewhere else. Don't do this to your suspension or your stomach.

    We recently visited and were honestly really impressed. First off, a little over $1 for a soda…read morethese days is almost unheard of, so we were excited about the prices right away. My husband and I shared the dumplings and both loved them. The texture was perfect and the flavor was really good. The portions overall felt like a great size and everything tasted freshly made. I ordered the pork fried rice and really enjoyed dipping it into the house made dumpling sauce, which honestly made the meal even better. Our waitress was very pleasant, and made sure we had what we needed. The vibe inside was very quiet, cozy, and romantic, making it a really nice spot for a relaxed date night. The restaurant was also extremely clean, which we always appreciate, and there was plenty of easy parking. We'll definitely be back once they add the ramen noodles to the menu!

That said, the vegetable fried rice and dumplings were both a 5 out of 5. The dumpling dipping sauce was honestly one of the best I have ever had and really stood out. The staff was very nice and pleasant. The space is on the smaller side, which was fine since we went during a slower time. We were not able to choose our table, which would have been nice, and while you are not right on top of other people, the tables are close enough that it can be hard to have a private conversation. There were a couple things that held it back. I was served a drink that was close to eight months expired. I did not make a big deal about it and still drank it, but that is something they definitely need to stay on top of. Also, the menu said Pepsi products but only Coke was available. With better inventory checks and a more updated menu, this place could easily be a five star spot. It is just not quite there yet.
