    Mixed 6 PC: 4Wings + 2 Drums

    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!

    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.

    I have been to Bonchon many times. Love their soy garlic chicken. I'm also a fan of their japchae. You can never go wrong with this place. Service could be slow sometimes but no biggie, they get really busy.

    Strip mall Korean eatery with a slightly swankier vibe than most. Trendy decor, modern bar…read more Experienced and friendly servers. Approachable menu with as much fusion as authentic Korean. -- Chicken Wings: Jumbo wings with extra crispness and an inner texture varying between sufficiently moist and gushingly juicy, depending on the piece. Always liked them, and I tried twice more recently with similar positive results. Excellent flavor in both the Soy Garlic and the Sweet and Spicy Gochujang. Superb, and with no price hikes in at least five years, now an excellent value too. -- Kimchi Pancake: Crispy on the edges and fluffier inside, with kimchi adding some crunch and nice flavor to go with the starch. Thin dark sauce to complement it. I think of it as a Korean cross between scallion pancake and egg foo yong. Good for sharing. -- Seafood Jampong: A large bowl of seafood stew with a red broth that has some creaminess as well as spice. Nice texture and chock full of large mussels, scallops, shrimp (gigantic Gulf shrimp as well as baby shrimp), Asian squid, and noodles. The squid was a little chewy, but everything else was cooked beautifully. This dish satisfied both in the restaurant and as leftovers the next day. Good choice for family meal, date meal, or chowing with the buds meal.

    So Westford is a bit of a food desert with only a plethora of Asian cuisines. Of all these…read morerestaurants, I believe soul kitchen is the best. We just did the sushi Love boat for four people and all of the sushi was fresh. The salmon was buttery. The tuna was firm. The rolls were done perfectly. We had to wait a bit at the door and there was a little bit of confusion there so we were delayed in getting our seats.... And the waitress was a bit delayed getting to our table, but we made the best of it. Next time we're here, I'm going to do some of the more Korean dishes, but the sushi is well recommended.

    This is a nice antidote to what way TOO MANY "Asian" restaurants are like in the greater Boston…read morearea: slick, prettified and exoticized decor, inflated pricing and mediocre, bland and generally dumbed-down tourist food. This place is none of those things---the interior is simple and dare I say, well worn. But that's the whole point, you feel like you're in an authentic immigrant family restaurant, which it appears to be---a very very sweet and kind lady seems to be the only server in this place (we went on a weeknight, so maybe on a Friday/Sat/Sun it's more crowded and there are more staff) and her husband mans the cash register by the door. Old school! Food is solid and authentic, and refreshingly gimmick-free. What you see is what you get. Shockingly, the prices are about the same as in the Korean places in the food court at H-Mart down the road in Burlington...but you get more and better quality food! And they don't appear to have an alcohol license, which is kind of a good thing because they don't try to upsell you with their drink menu, which in Asian restaurants tend to be pretty lousy mass-market water-beers (sometimes just with Asian labels on similar swill) at craft-beer prices anyhow. Bimbibap was quite unique: rice was served on a separate bowl, while the actual main bowl was full of veggies and meat and egg. Very nice contrast to most places' bimbibap being 80% rice and 20% veggies/meat. Came with a small side of miso soup. UPDATE, one week later: Came back to try out the Korean BBQ. For 3 people, we ordered 3 of the BBQ menu items, came out to a reasonable $100 or so before tip since we just had the complimentary toasted brown rice tea (hyeonmi-cha) and ice water. It was just the right amount of food for an evening meal (more voractious eaters would probably want an additional 1-2 dishes) and the lady came to our table to cook the food for us, ensuring that nothing would be overcooked. The short rib was easily the best, followed by the bulgogi, and the squid with pork belly and veggies was pretty good not great (it was interestingly cooked over the open flame on a square of aluminum foil). Everything was perfectly marinated, tender and juicy. Ventilation was good, so our clothes did not reek of roasted meat afterwards---some places have weak fans, this one did not. Service was again impeccable, gracious and speedy...very nice warm vibes, not cold or perfunctory like some places. Will definitely be coming back for more!

    Family establishment! Been around for a long time, and I used to work in the area and eat here with…read moremy partners and team. Decided since we were in the area, the lady and I would give it a go! Still the best available in the area IMO for non-AYCE traditional style. They cook it for you so if you aren't KBBQ savvy, they got you! The wife is awesome she's usually very sweet and cooks your meats perfectly. The hubby, haha he always seems grouchy but no issues. Service is quick and space and tables are ample. The meat cuts are plenty, always go with Kalbi, spicy pork, jap chae appetizer. Of course you also get plenty of banchan to supplement your meal! Will def come back again!

    Karma in Andover is hands-down one of the best Asian fusion spots around! We stopped in for dinner…read morerecently and left completely impressed. The atmosphere is upscale yet welcoming--modern decor, lively vibe without being overwhelmingly loud The staff was super attentive and friendly from the moment we walked in, making great recommendations. We started with the salt & pepper calamari and some dumplings--both were fresh, perfectly crispy, and packed with flavor. For mains, the fried rice was spot-on (flavorful and not greasy at all), and the torched tuna with truffle butter sauce was absolutely divine--such a creative fusion twist! The sushi options looked incredible too, and everything came out hot and beautifully presented. Portions are generous, and the quality really stands out compared to other places nearby. Drinks were solid as well if you're into cocktails. We'll definitely be back--it's become our go-to for date nights or when we crave something a little special. Highly recommend Karma if you're in the Andover area.

The Salmon on Fire was delicious and honorable mention goes to the Dragon Fire roll (sushi rolls are giant).
