    Great spot if you're in the mood for a well balanced chicken "Wing!" I love that you can choose flats, drums or a mix. I'm a drumstick girl and these do not disappoint! A small is 5 wings and that was really enough for 2 meals. I went with the newer spicy sauce which was spicy enough without being overwhelming. I snagged some fries on HH to complete the meal. I paired my fries with spicy mayo which was not wrong! HH - m-f 4-6 with limited options (see pic) with weekday drink specials in addition to the standard hh option. I ubered to that area so not quite sure about the parking sitch. Plenty of inside seating with quite a few tvs at the bar to catch a game (or two)! Service was quite mid -- had a hard time getting them to come back by but I came for the chicken! Overall bonchon has been around the Houston area for a bit with multiple locations. Pick the nearest one and try it out!

    My new husband and I just got married yesterday and went into Bonchon to watch the Texans game and have a few drinks. Our server Alexa and manager Nick were beyond amazing! Awesome energy in the restaurant and the bulgogi fries were 10/10. We honestly are thinking about coming back again for dinner. Highly recommend!!!

    For starters, the interior was not what I expected for a Korean fried chicken restaurant. Looked just like an American sports bar lol. Not a big deal, just funny. It's much bigger than expected and there's plenty of seating. The service was good. Our waitress was really nice and attentive. She was also working at the cash register doing to go orders. I liked that she checked up on us regularly despite how busy she was. As for the food, it was ok. Not bad but nothing great. The wings had a nice amount of sauce on it. I liked that it wasn't too heavy. The Korean tacos were big and filling. It tasted good with the picked daikon radish. The japchae wasn't bad but barely had any meat.

    A friend of mine ordered Bonchon for us last night for dinner. I believe we got a combo of wings and drumsticks with a side of the fried rice. The two flavors that we got were spicy and I believe a garlic which were both pretty good but I don't feel like the spicy was spicy at all. I enjoyed the fried rice as well. I honestly think this may have been my first time trying Korean fried chicken and it wasn't a bad experience.

    If you've been to a Bonchon before you kinda know what to expect. This specific location being in midtown was a bit surprising to me, but I'm glad we have another KFC option nearby. I've ordered pick up here before but first time dining in. First things first parking could be a pain here. There's plenty of paid street parking but could be challenging depending on the time of day you come. There is also a garage for this building but not sure if it's paid or not. We walked in coming from a rockets game. We noticed half of the store had seats on the table indicating they're not available. There were a few tables with people in it and three or four dirty tables - felt kinda awkward walking in at first and to be honest we almost walked out. When we sat down our server greeted us a few minutes later - she was polite and friendly which was a reassuring sign. We ordered the 6 pc wing + 3 drum combo half and half. This is basically what we always get with a side of fries and the free radish. The quality and flavor of the chicken was on par with other bonchons. The place also started getting packed as we were there and it was 11 pm - probably normal for being in midtown. Overall, the location is decent. There's definitely some concern for homeless people walking around and in the restaurant (one walked in and quickly walked out while we were eating), but that comes with the area. They could also probably add a few more people to help clean tables, but otherwise not a bad visit.

    Combo 15 Wings 8 Drumsticks

    Classic fried chicken with Korean sauces My friends and I shared a large combo of bone in wings and legs with the garlic sauce and Korean BBQ sauce mix, definitely enough for 4 people! Comes with a side of slaw and a tub of ranch Prices weren't too bad for what you get but to be honest it's just fried chicken, I had to stop eating after 3 pieces because it became too greasy but I think if you like eating fried chicken you'd get your moneys worth. Their spicy wings are *definitely* spicy, it builds. I had one from another friends plate and could only handle one, if you love spicy this could be for you. Inside style was your average bar design, service was okay they only had one person working and we had a lot of people so it was understandably slower. I'd come back to try their happy hour but probably wouldn't crave this again anytime soon.

    The location

    This was poor customer service from the manager to the waitress. The waitress took care of folk that came in after me because I was on my phone. No excuse. I came there solo knowing exactly what I wanted. No offering of my drinks or anything. The customer service was horrible and Greg the manager upheld the behavior. They also have had animals in there and they were not Service Dogs. I was so displeased with this atmosphere. I'll most likely will never go there again.

It is sweet and a bit soupy from all the sauce. The noodles are chewy and bouncy, and get coated in the sauce nicely. There is a good amount of meat that comes with it too! The flavors are great. 2) Jaengbanjjajang: This is my go-to and personal favorite noodle dish to get here. It is similar to their original jjangmyeon except that it is less soupy and has a bit of spice. The spiciness adds a nice kick balancing the sweet and savory flavors. There are also lots of different mix ins like squid, shrimp, beef, and vegetables! The play on textures and contrasting flavors is why I love this dish 3) Spicy Chicken Wings (Yangnyeom): For not being a chicken wing restaurant, Paiks sure does serve some banger wings. Juicy big wings with a slight crisp on the outside. The sauce is amazing. It is that sweet and spicy yangnyeom korean fried chicken sauce. 4) Tangsuyuk: I never visit Paisk without ordering their tangsuyuk. Perfectly fried with a great chew. The pork is not too porky or gamey which is nice, and the sauce is a sticky sweet and sour sauce. 4) Gunmandoo: Their panfried dumplings are quite nice too! I haven't gotten them in a while, but they were solid Overall, I don't think there was a single dish I disliked here at Paiks. Service is standard, not too fast not too slow. The ambiance is not really one for dates or anything. It's super casual with metal chairs. It can get a bit cold. There are restrooms and water dispensers. They used to have the self serve yellow radish but now they just serve it with your meal. You have to clean your table yourself and put all the dish trays in the back
