    Truffle fries.... This was $10.....

    Paid $10 for what felt like a handful of fries. Smelled like truffle oil heaven, but the portion size was laughable. The flavor was decent, but for that price, I expected more than a small paper cup's worth. Bottom line: Great aroma, underwhelming portion, not worth the splurge.

    I was served raw chicken, i ordered from door dash. I use to love this place back when they first opened. but it has become a bit pricey. I ate 4 chickens before realizing that it tasted funny and started picking at some of them and realized it was raw & undercooked!

    Been here several times since they first opened in Lowell. A dimly lit place with a bar to watch sports, and several booths and tables to accompany parties or dates. When it comes to crispy and spicy fried chicken, this is the spot to go. Granted they had their years when the spice was not up to par, but lately everything is starting to taste really well, just like during their grand opening. The chicken is so crispy, yet so juicy, and the spicy is spicing. I wasn't a fan of their fried rice before, but it was bussing that night. It's not like Chinese fried rice where the grains don't stick to each other, but like most Korean rice dishes, the rice is moist and mushy and just exerts flavor better. The takoyaki is my favorite! The sauce is zesty and sweet, mixed with the soft and oozy texture of the takoyaki balls, and octopus legs is just perfection. I like that our waitress didn't check up on us every 5 mins, so we were able to gobble up food and converse with each other for an ample amount of time. She has a good sense of when we're almost finished eating. Overall, it's nice to have Bonchon nearby.

    Loaded Bulgogi Fries so good!

    I never heard of this chain before, on a recent trip to the area I passed this place on the way in and picked it as my dinner joint after a Yelp search. It's fun food and wow the portions are generous. Delicious fresh and creative is a good way to describe Bonchon. I will definitely hit one any opportunity I can. This particular joint had a wonderful friendly staff, the place itself is a neat location and they even have a bar. Nothing goes better with spicy crispy loaded fries like a cold beer. Enjoy!!!

    I must say this specific experience was amazing! The service was quick, the waitress was so kind and the food was to die for! We order Pork Buns, Seasoned Fries, Fried Rice and Soy Garlic Drums The first bite of the drums was soooo good, I felt like at one point I wasn't even breathing I was just eating I enjoyed my two prior experiences but this one takes the cake! I loved everything about this evening, Bonchon you get a 10/10 Thank you for the wonderful experience! EVERYONE PLEASE GO CHECK THEM OUT‼

    I loveee their pork belly buns! It comes with 3 per order and I am just in love!! The meat is so juicy and soft and the cole slaw mixture they put inside it goes perfectly together. Definitely my favorite place for pork belly buns! The Korean fried chicken with soy garlic flavor were so juicy and crispy. They were drumsticks and they were big! I liked how the skin stayed on with the drum stick and didn't fall apart after one bite. Definitely my favorite 2 items from here!

    Food is great, service was quick and very friendly. The restaurant is nice and clean for quick eat and relax.

    Medium combo spicy flavor.

    Love bon chon it never disappoints. We got the spicy chicken which had a perfect balance of flavor and the chicken was nice and crispy but then coating. The fried rice was flavorful. But the tacos... those are THE BEST. The spicy chicken mixed with the slaw was a perfect combo. Shrimp shumai was like any other nothing special. The drinks ehre are also delicious and strong.

    Love the wings and the convenience of not having to go to Cambridge to order. This place is not as good as Cambridge and former Brighton (closed) location. Seems like they don't make their fried chicken as Cambridge locations. I still enjoy it but I know I'm missing out on the "real" bon chon ck wings. I don't bother ordering anything else. My husband and sister usually gets the tteok-bokki.

    Great food, service and atmosphere. Our favorite spicy chicken spot. Always consistent!

    We mainly come to Bonchon Lowell for the Salmon Avocado ball. We've never seen this item on other bonchon locations' menus before and it is definitely a great item. It's crunchy on the outside and creamy on the inside. The sauces they used had a lot of great umami flavor. Another dish we tried was the bulgogi friend rice where the meat was chopped up into small pieces which allowed the bulgogi flavor to be in every bite we had. It was a different way of making fried rice and we enjoyed it, not to mention the portion was very big. The wings were pretty decent but I have seen better wings in other locations/chains. The only dish we didn't like as much was the ttekbokki, it was pretty spicy but the sauce seemed more watery than I've had at other places and didn't stick to the rice cakes as much. The salmon avocado ball is what we came back for but it is pretty pricey for an appetizer. Overall the service was good, our waitress was very nice and it wasn't as busy when we visited so it wasn't too loud.

This Long Island NY based Halal chain has been expanding from the Tri State area into New England. There are also plenty of competing Halal food trucks in NYC. The space was remodeled which is an order at the counter place with lighted menu screens and indoor table seating. They also offer online ordering and DoorDash delivery. They offer platters, salads, gyros, cheese steak subs, burgers, chicken sandwiches, fries, chicken nuggets & wings, baklava, and drinks in the cooler. The pricing seems fair. On my way back home, I stopped by Shah's Halal Food Lowell for takeout. I placed my online pickup order through DoorDash since I had credits. I ordered the Beef Chapli & Chips Platter ($11.99 plus tax) and Assorted Baklava ($3.49 plus tax). My online order was all set to go in about 13 minutes. The platter had soft seasoned ground beef kabobs, thin pakora chips, served over soft basmati rice and a mix green salad with creamy white sauce plus the optional hot sauces too. The platter had good savory and spicy flavors. The prepackaged assorted baklava was a good sweet treat for the after meal. I would definitely stop by again for more Halal takeout. I can already sense that Shah's could be expanding into NH, since the demand for Halal food is there. This Lowell branch is about 10 minutes to NH on Mammoth Road.

They had more sauce variety than other places but I went with the typical white sauce and spicy. The rice was good, but the color was just not vibrant yellow like im use to but don't let that scare you. The meats are all precooked and just sits in a heating tray, so the food wasn't super hot. Overall not terrible, one upside is that they're open until 1 or 2 am on weekends.

At the time of this posting, the menu here was very limited with a few Chinese, Thai, and Vietnamese selections including noodle dishes, rice bowls, fried rice, soup, fried appetizers, pupu platter, and cold drinks.

I ordered the Cambodian Beef Lok Lak Rice Bowl ($15.99 plus tax) and a small order of Pork/Shrimp Egg Rolls (4 for $4,99 plus tax). The Cambodian Beef Lok Lak Rice Bowl had tender grilled pieces of marinated beef steak, lettuce, tomato, cucumbers, lime & black pepper sauce over soft white rice. This bowl was a great choice and the beef had nice flavors. The 4 egg rolls were actually like spring rolls, very crispy with shredded cabbage, carrot, ground pork/shrimp, very greasy though.

As this is Latinx heritage month, seems like a perfect time to finally check them out. This is a tiny little store front. Most of the building is taken up by kitchen and storage. There are 2 two-tops and 1 four-top table for dining-in. Tables are very nice and the area was clean. An open kitchen over looks the dining area. A cashier stand, where you order, is to the left of the entrance. Menu boards are located on the wall above the open kitchen. A cooler across from the cashier holds bottled soda, water and tea. The cashier was super personable and answered a couple of silly questions from me. (I always have questions. So many questions!) I had to try the empanadas of course and they offer several varieties. My SO got himself a pepperoni pizza. We both grabbed bottled soda. We had an opportunity to chat a little with the cook too who is also very nice. A parton who is clearly known to the staff came in and had a long, friendly chat with staff while we ate. Just before we left some high school students came in. This is absolutely a neighborhood spot. The pastry on my empanada is very good. Flakey, thin, holds together well. I would have preferred less pastry for the amount of filling. Most bites were air. The ground beef was seasoned well enough but I think I was looking for more spice and maybe a little heat. Still, it was enjoyable. The vegetable empanada was bell peppers, onions and mushrooms with a little bit of cheese. Same result. I was looking for more filling, spice and heat. Don't get me wrong. They are good. I did enjoy them. And for all I know, this is the way abuela makes them. Everyone has their own preferences. This is just me. Take it as you will. My SO enjoyed his pizza. That's all I got from him. Sorry I can't elaborate. This is a small store front right off a neighborhood. On street parking is free. You may have to walk a bit from your parking spot, but as mentioned, this is really a neighborhood spot the locals frequent. There does not appear to be a public restroom inside. I didn't ask. Staff were lovely. Food is good.
