Went here for the first time recently with a group of coworkers. It was pretty crowded which was good to see for a newer place! We got a variety of dishes and thought everything was tasty. I'd recommend trying the fried pickles as an appetizer. The highlight though is the fried chicken wings! They have three unique flavors: spicy, soy garlic and sweet crunch. All of them are good! read more

Best Korean Fried Chicken I've had in Chicago! Absolutely crispy and crunchy on the outside and super soft and tender on the inside. Wish they had more flavor options (they have three). The spicy had the best flavor but was way too spicy. Wish there was a way to mix the sweet and spicy together to create a milder but fully flavorful experience. They have an extensive menu of Asian food and some fusion. I definitely will be back, especially if they keep their staff because they are absolutely amazing! The staff is attentive and caring and definitely helped ensure that our experience was perfect! A true gem in Glenview! read more

The chicken is tasty and full of flavour. Just the right amount of spicy! Highly recommended!

Definitely would recommend! Amazing and delicious wings! All of the food items were fresh and savory. Great customer service when dining in. read more

I went there with my cousin on Sunday little past 12. We were one of the two tables that were there. We ordered Takoyaki, Japchae, and mixed Combo 6 Wings 3 Drums. Took about 20 minutes wait for our first dish to arrive. Japchae was serve first. Presentation wise it looked soggy but still tasted good. Then came burnt Takoyaki balls (first pic of a single ball) All of them looked completely burnt like they were forgotten in the fryer. After taking a bite it was clear that it was burnt and that's when we both agreed to send it back. While the food was being remade the waiter came to notify us that it would take about 8 minutes for it to be ready. Now I work at a restaurant and our small-medium size egg rolls takes 4-6 minutes to fry. So... idk why those balls got to swim in the oil for that long. Anyways... the second plate came and it looked exactly the same but this time it was just covered in more sauce. Maybe it was 1 minute less tan but still THE SAME as the one before. At this point my mouth is burning from the spicy wings and stomach getting full so we just left it at that. Wish the staff were more professional without AirPods in hanging on their ears but other than that the semi cold wings were great! And this is only my second time here. Almost forgot to mention the rice! It was hard and crackly. Those little grains were dehydrated that's what my cousin and I joked about while we had them. It was definitely yesterday's rice. After that we just hoped tables after us would get fresh rice. Thank goodness the first I came with aunt and cousin the food was better. Honorable mention* good amount of pickled radish and the wings were coated in the right amount of sauce! read more

Ordered curbside pickup for 6pm order; got there and parked right up in front and notified them that I was there. 10 min go by and nothing, so I called and they replied by "are you going to come in and get it?" No apologies or explanation as to why I was sitting there for 10 min with kids in the car. I wish I could take back the tip I pre paid for. Food is ok, but the customer service is horrendous. read more

Bonchon - Curbside pickup - Korean Near Me - Glenview, Illinois

Yeee! So excited that Bonchon made its debut in Glenview. My first time eating Bonchon chicken was when I lived in NYC, and I also tried it in DC as well. It was awesome to finally try it in my hometown. First off, the chicken is consistent with the other cities that I have eaten it in. The chicken is crunchy, perfectly flavored and tender. IT IS A MUST TRY. I am drooling as I write... I came to Bonchon the week it opened and last week as well. The servers are young and learning, but also friendly and attentive to your needs. It is really so refreshing to see servers who are HAPPY to help you and provide service. My fiance and I had a great experience at Bonchon, enjoying our chicken & pork buns in a fun & hip ambiance. So bottom line.... Food- great-- there are many menu items to try (they don't just have chicken!!!) We will be back to try everything else.... will update! read more

Bonchon - I can hear the crunch - Korean Near Me - Glenview, Illinois

I really hate to say it but this place has very average chicken overall. It's what I would expect from a chain. I've heard this chain heavily depends on location, I'd be interested to try another place because this does not do Korean friend chicken justice. If you want true Korean fried chicken, I'd go to an authentic Korean restaurant and get it there. Typically incredible, and they have sweet/spicy sauces on them too typically. The chicken was overcooked and I wasn't a fan of the chicken in general, overall just adequate. Cool place to hangout but I'd say go to an authentic Korean restaurant if you want good Korean fried chicken. read more

We ordered online for pick up. When we arrived to pick it up, the pork buns we ordered were not there but we were still charged for it. The person there said they could not issue a refund because I ordered it online. This is the first the first time I've heard of it that an establishment cannot make refunds for something we did not receive. First, they did not call us informing that there were no more pork buns. Second, if I did not ask, they did not tell me I was charged for it. Anyway, they called the manager and I was told I will receive an ema for the refund. I called the following day and was told, I'll be refunded. Still manager is not around because the person I taked to said he just comes and goes to the restaurant. Third call I talked to the manager and I was offered that they will just give me free pork buns next time I come back to Bonchon. He said that the owner would not be happy to know that they made a mistake in the order and therefore they are avoiding doing refunds. Still I requested for a refund and he said he will give the refund next week. Next week??? Unfortunately, still no email or refund was made or given as promised. We love Bonchon, but I dont think we will be going to this branch. Poor service. They did not even include utensils in the bag even if we requested it in our online order. It is just a small amout but it is a matter of principle and integrity and good customer service. They just apologize online. No action made. It's been a month and no refund still. read more

Heard good thing tried it out and woah sooooo good! We ordered chicken wing lunch special Half spicy half garlic soy with a side of seasoned fries we also ordered chicken spicy tacos everything was absolutely savory and amazing excited to try all the other things they have on the menu! read more

Aren't utensils and napkins always included in takeouts? Driver who delivered the food seemed nice, the food was warm, but my girlfriend and I ordered food which required utensils. There were none. We had to eat with our fingers! This meal, in which the food was of good quality, suddenly wasn't that appetizing anymore. read more

This Asian friend chicken place is a worthy opponent to Jollibee Chicken Joy. (There, I said it) Their Soy Garlic Wings are crunchy and really tasty, bursting with flavor. The Bulgogi Fried rice is one of the best I've had. If you are a fan of spicy food, their spicy chicken is on fire! Good service. We got seated upon arrival. But that was luck... because after us, people were waiting for a bit. It was packed. I'm giving it 4 stars simply because the 30 minute wait for the chicken is too long for a fast food place. This is not a place for someone who is starving or in a rush to leave. Over-all a decent Asian fast food. I will come back to try the regular chicken and friend rice. read more

My girlfriend and I visited Bonchon for the first time!The food was delicious !We came for the chicken which was excellent and we had 5 other delicious dishes .The restaurant was clean and Nate was wonderful ,he walked us through the menu and he brought the food and he always had a smile ‼ read more

Ordered from here for the first time (delivery) because I'd heard about this place from so many people. 30pc soy garlic wings+Parmesan fries+pork belly buns. I was worried about the quality of the chicken and such because delivery is obviously not ideal for things that can get soggy, but I received everything perfectly hot, and they packaged the chicken in a serving tin that had a lid with holes (very important to steam can escape and prevent sogginess!) The fries were a bit soggy, but that's a given, and after popping them in the oven for a little bit, they were good as fresh. The chicken was delicious, crunchy, and not too heavily breaded. In all honesty, the sauce was too sweet for my personal taste, and the pickled radish it came with tasted a bit off, but I feel like had I made or ordered some rice to go with it, the sweetness would have been cut a bit. The fries were awesome too although I wish they were a bit more generous with the seasonings. I was pretty disappointed in the pork belly buns though....which I had been looking forward to the most actually. The pork belly was tough, fatty in a way that was unpleasant and hard to chew, and I feel like the coleslaw type stuff inside was wayyyyy too much. It would have been better with just some hoisin-like sauce and/or spicy/Japanese mayo+the cucumber, but...I ended up not being able to even finish them because it just wasn't great. Overall though, I'd order here again, and ideally come to eat in rather than do delivery for the second run (and order rice on the side!) read more

Poor consistency. Went from being the best chicken ever to the worst. I recently got a lunch order of the 10 pc boneless, garlic soy. These were small, overcooked, dry, and too peppery. Each peice was literally half the size or smaller than the peices served on thier dinner menu. They were like popcorn chicken. I'm telling you, Chicken McNuggets would have been better. Service was ok but meh. read more

Bad service will never go back there specially when you order to go they were really not care about your foot to bring it out on time I'll be sitting there that's what happened with me read more

This place is really great ! Have eaten here 3 times in the past month There pork buns with soy garlic was delicious . There udon noodle soup was so good served with bulgogi it was so hot (sizzling stone bowl) That it took me 40 min. To finish. We shared their fried chicken wings in soy garlic -excellent ! Try their bulgogi sautéed w/ mushrooms, scallions and onions was as good as any Mongolian beef . I'm hooked on this place Great job! read more

Very good food. Fast and friendly service. The spicy is actually very spicy but not too crazy. I like it. read more

Very inefficient service. The inside environment is messy and the floor is clingy. They took out the garbage bin through the front door(where you order food) I ordered the fried chicken and i waited more than 30 minutes. I asked why it took so long and was told the kitchen didn't get the order. read more

First visit yesterday for lunch around 130p. It was not crowded and we were seated right away. It's very casual and service was okay. I've been wanting to visit here for some time now based on the positive reviews. But I was not impressed unfortunately. We ordered plenty of food with the assumption we would have some leftovers and if it was really good I was going to order more to go. I ordered 12 pc combo half soy garlic and spicy. The chicken is only sold as wings and drumsticks. I wanted to try both so the combo was perfect. The other sauce that I did not try was the sweet sauce. My son who had been here before did not recommend it so I cannot comment. We also ordered fries and fried zucchini as appetizers, and chicken fried rice to go with our chicken. The chicken is made to order so it is very fresh when you get it. The breading is too much for my taste but it is crispy. The spicy chicken was too spicy for me so I ended up packing it to go. In my opinion their food was very salty - chicken and fries were just too much salt. I even tried to use the coleslaw to see if it would help mask the salt but it didn't help. Service was just ok there wasn't many people in the restaurant but I didn't feel like they were very attentive. I had to keep looking for them to get ranch, coke and more ketchup. So for being nice to us I gave this review 3 stars for service. As far as price I think it was fair for the food that we got. The fried rice is a little pricy and again just ok. My total bill was $58 for lunch but I was fine with it bc we ordered larger portions. My son still loves their chicken but I don't think I would return. I was drinking so much water that evening. Also I thought it was strange that there was not a section in the menu for drinks or desserts. read more

Finally I found a korean bbq place in the SUBURBS! I've only had korean food in SF. Now we found this out late but you can order halal wings highly recommend plus soy garlic is excellent. Everything is filling and shareable. We ordered fries and steamed rice for the kids. And we had the steak and chicken tacos, chicken fried rice, and boumbillum in both the bowl and just with a side of steamed rice. Bill was our server, he did great! read more

One of the best chain restaurants I've been to! Their chicken is TOP TIER. I'll definitely come here again! By the way, you can seat yourself, so don't worry about standing around up in the front! read more

SO GOOD! I tried this a few weeks back from the first time-- It's my go-to order now. The Soy garlic is delicious! I don't always order spicy, but these were incredible. Not just hot, but super flavorful. I seriously think it's my new favorite place. I was just logging on to leave a review about how great they've been, but now I really want to order some wings. 150% recommend to anyone looking for incredible wings with great flavor, fresh and crave-able! read more

Great lunch specials. Wings were good. Sauces had great flavor. Customer service could better better... but overall good experience. read more

Bonchon - Korean Near Me - Glenview, Illinois

We have been there in the past and enjoyed our chicken. We went last Saturday for lunch and the food was bad and the service was even worse. My husband's chicken wings had clearly been reheated and not fresh. My Korean tacos were fine. We each ordered a soft drink and asked for glasses. First delivery was just my canned soda and no glass. Second delivery was just my husband's soda and yet again no glasses, but we're handed straws. The waiter seemed clueless that we had asked for glasses. Went downhill from there. I would understand if they were busy, it was just us and a table that had their food. Never, never, going back and have told friends about the experience. read more

Service was okay. Nothing much to say about that. But the chicken ... Was disappointing. Small pieces and the Cole slaw side was so small that between two adults and one child, we finished it in 5 spoonfuls. The chicken was too salty and was just not good. Not sure why everyone's so hyped about it and it's this expensive. Not worth it at all. read more

We walked in no staff was present. After 5 min a young guy walks out looking down on his phone didn't notice us until I said Hello. He looked surprised and didn't respond. I told him we're ready to order. The brought out steak sliders they were ice cold. Also ordered rice that never came out. Horrible service horrible experience for a $50 bill. Very rude. We will NEVER DINE HERE AGAIN!! But when other guest came in that were from their own culture they got a great Hello and treated different!! read more

Underwhelming fried chicken. Non-chicken dishes were much better. With so many other Korean fried chicken places in the area, I wouldn't recommend this place. read more

Bonchon provided such an amazing service and I enjoy coming every single time. The best Korean fried chicken :)

very nice service. Foods came out really quick. always love to enjoy their chicken with beer!

Me and my boyfriend were craving some Korean fried chicken and decided to try this place out for the first time. We got the fried chicken to go and waited so long. Once we got home, we were hit with disappointment. I don't know what you people are saying but this is not Korean fried chicken. It looks like some Tyson frozen chicken that was warm up and soooo overpriced. There was barely any sauce, so dry and it was so salty. I'm sorry but definitely won't be coming back. Ive had some authentic Korean fried chicken and this does not compare. read more

This is a chain restaurant which specializes in Korean Fried Chicken which I didn't try because I was limiting my caloric intake. I ordered ChapChae and intentionally took 1/2 home. What I really liked with the bottomless Diet Coke. This restaurant was one of several Korean restaurants in the same strip mall. It is modern, clean and provided great service. I would go again and order something else. Though not outstanding, the chap chae was good enough, maybe a little too sweet. read more

I have NEVER RECEIVED wings this tiny and malnourished. Owner doesn't know how to handle complaints. I do not recommend to order from this branch or you'd waste money read more

Bonchon - $30 for this bullshit. tiny ass wings i HAVE NEVER RECEIVED my entire life. Owner sucks - Korean Near Me - Glenview, Illinois

Absolutely love the food here. Don't get me wrong. Their food is absolutely wonderful. If I were on a deathrow, I would consider Bonchon as a top contender. No, seriously. Their chickens are perfectly fried - crispy outside and juicy inside. And the sauce? Dont even get me started. Now, the problem is the service. On my first visit, I thought they were having a rough night - full hall and a long line stretching out the door. Then, I returned a few times. It turns out they were just bad servers. Out of three visits, only once I got my silverware and water before the food. Not to mention that those silverwares I got were the ones someone had used. Yup. I'm dead serious. I just didn't get how ineffectual they could get. So, I stopped dining in. After that, I tried to get a takeout (Yes. Food is crazy good here). Called ahead half hour prior to my arrival. When I got there? I was told that they didn't get the call and alleged me of mixing up the locations. Even worse? After digging, they "found" my food, sitting on the counter top.... It was literally sitting in front of me the whole time. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Like.... how? Are they working stoned? This place gives me a head shake. read more

This food is sooo good. We weren't sure how takeout would be for fried chicken but it actually traveled very well! We had the legs and chicken strips and the legs with the soy garlic glaze were definitely our favorites. The ttokboeki was SPICY so would definitely see if they could lessen the spice next time (and there will be a next time!) read more

I like the amount of spice in their wings. Also I appreciated their service when they brought my order out to my car while I was parked.

I hate to do this because the food here is good but the service has been declining terribly. I understand that they have a lot of online orders but dine in customers shouldn't be neglected. We dine in last night, 03-14-21 around 10:15. We waited 5 mins for the employee to bring us the menu, another five minutes to get our drinks and another 10 minutes for him to take our order. Which is fine if the restaurant is busy but we're the only ones dining in at that moment and most employees are just on their phones and chatting with each other. Food came at a reasonable time but we have to wait yet another 5 minutes for plates and silverware. Our order was missing rice, pickled radish and spicy mayo, I told the server about it. 5 minutes have passed and those items missing from our order never came. Employees were still on their phones but the items missing on our order never arrived on our table. We finished eating, waited for the server to bring the check but he never came. We went to the counter to pay and still have to wait because the employee is at the kitchen chatting with other employees. This is our go to place for late night eats and we usually let few service disappointments slip away but tonight was just terrible. I hope employees can be trained how to service dine in customers and not just focus on online orders because if online orders are what they just want to do then dine in area should be closed. I don't think I'll go back here again, no matter how good the food is, if the service is bad then it's not worth going back. read more
