    The tenders weren't bad but kinda dry. The kimchi was one of the saltiest things I've ever eaten.

    Found this place while walking the streets of New York. The food was good and so was the service.

    A great spot for some fried chicken!!! Went with a group so we got some big platters. The chicken stays very crispy even with all the sauce so I loved that a lot! The soy garlic sauce was very tasty, but I think the korean bbq sauce is EXCELLENT. It was soooo good I just kept eating them without realizing how many I ate. The wings also come with a side and we got the pickled radish which was very refreshing alongside the super saucy and savory chicken. Y'all this chicken was so good I forgot to take a photo and I NEVER forget to take photos of my food. We also got some fries for the table which were sooo well made like they were extra crunchy but still soft on the inside. They have a pretty good soju selection but the photo I DID take was the ROUND OF TEQUILA SHOTS ON THE HOUSE!!!! How amazing is that!!! Best hospitality ever thank you Bonchon!!!!

    Walked in to a packed house with everyone enjoying the vibe - music, big screens, and great food. Waiter asked me to give him 2 minutes as he cleared & cleaned a table for me. Fantastic service. Near the Empire State building I came for the Korean Wings. I did a split order (10 Wings, Small) with two flavors and my favorite was the soy sauce / garlic. SCRUMPTIOUS, tender and flavorful with a crunchy exterior. 10 Wings was almost too much but it was so good I finished the plate. Recommend the white pickled radish complementary side, but you may have Cole slaw if you like.

    Service: 3.7/5 Food: 4.1/5 always dead, i've seen max 3 tables in here at one time. size down your order- inconsistent wing size- anywhere from medium to massive makes you full fast. What I Ordered: - Yangnyeom: good sweet-spicy balance. too spicy for me tho, could only eat 1 smaller piece before needing a break - Soy Garlic: my go to, a classic. not too salty. - Street Corn: very mayo heavy, sweet. looks better than it tastes (my opinion for all street corn)

    I've had Bonchon in LA before and was excited to see it in NYC. The restaurant's very casual and felt more like a sports bar. Service was pretty standard. I ordered the small boneless wings in garlic soy flavor which came with a side of pickled radish. There were so many pieces that I was able to take some to go for the next day. The chicken still tasted good after airfrying. Only complaints were that beer was pretty flat and rice was really soggy.

    The spot for wings!! It's easy to find right on the avenue. Service was great. They answered all of our questions about the different sauces, they even let us sample one. The wings well crispy and flavorful. We tried the soy garlic and the yangnyeom. The yangnyeom was a sweet and spicy mix, very good. The street corn was good. Reminded us of the Mexican street corn. Mango cart beer was just ok. They have a nice amount of tables for dining in. It's a good place to grab a quick bite. Definitely returning

    This Bonchon location is a casual sit down eatery with a bar. It is in a great central location in midtown. The service was friendly and prompt. The restaurant was mostly empty since it was around 3 pm on a Tuesday. Their lunch specials were very reasonably priced at 13.99. I got 2 mixed drumsticks and wings specials, one with white rice and one with fries. One with korean bbq sauce and one with the soy garlic sauce. Both sauces were delicious and the chicken wings and drumsticks were both very large and filling. Would definitely go again.

    I appreciate that the Bonchon chain is widespread and reliable for a lunch option without needing a reservation. We visited this location for lunch on a Sunday and ordered our usual favorites: Korean fried chicken (KFC) and bulgogi with white rice on the side. We paired our meal with our favorite local draft beer. We always enjoy dining at Bonchon; it never disappoints. The chicken is crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside.

    Plater

    Im giving a three star because the service was terrible got sat at a table order was take waited over 25 mins to be served. Order just a plater. They where doing all order for Uber instead of taking care of the customer that are there. The food was good the chicken wing flavor was right on. Love the coleslaw and street corn. The ambience of restaurants was okay small place and music was fine. There margarita pineapple was good

    Haven't eaten here in years, but Korean chicken is some of my fave. Ordered the 20 piece wings and drums, half soy garlic, half Korean barbecue. Both were great, soy garlic is always my favorite. Tried the fried rice with pork belly, I thoroughly enjoyed it, coleslaw was decent, seasoned fries were very tasty, the TAKOYAKI, Fried octopus dumplings drizzled with Kewpie Mayo, katsu sauce and sprinkled with scallions, was my least favorite I thought it was terrible, the octopus is squishy and the dumplings are mushy. Had the lemonade, also terrible, very watery. The service was pleasant and the store seemed clean. No complaints there. I'd return if in the area, they also have a full bar, for those that enjoy a good cocktail with their meal.

    Bonchon offers decent Korean fried chicken, though I wouldn't say it stands out. I ordered a large combo of wings and drumsticks, split between soy garlic and spicy flavors. The chicken was good but fairly average--nothing particularly memorable. However, the pricing was reasonable, making it a solid option if you're looking for a quick bite that won't break the bank.

    I am a fan of bon chon in general. This location in Ktown has great lunch specials and generally great service. Bathrooms could be cleaner but it's midtown My friend had the chicken katsu plate and really loved it. get the seasoned Zuchini fries to start- theyre great

The effortless tranquility encourages you to slow down, enjoy the food, and get away from the everyday, hubbub. Their menu leans into fusion dishes with a nod to some of the classic home-style classics. Everything is presented with a refined, elevated touch. Here's what we ordered: ~ Tako Wasabi - 5/5 stars A fiery delight. This appetizer feartures chopped raw octopus marinated in wasabi. It has a lively zest from the wasabi and is topped with tobiko, which adds a pleasant contrast in texture. ~ Honey Makgeolli - 4/5 stars A traditional fermented Korean beverage that is light and pairs brilliantly with your meal. It is a cloudy alcholoic drink served in a metal teapot, and surprisingly, there is much more in that teapot than you would expect. It easily provides six to eight generous pours. The flavor is subtly sweet with a pleasant tang. ~ Temaki Set - 4/5 stars You can order a set of three by choosing from selections 1-17, or you can order a la carte at the listed prices. Some of the temaki stood out more than others. Our two sets included marinated salmon, bluefin tuna, spicy yellowtail, spicy bluefin, and two dynamite temaki. ~ Spicky Pork Ssam Set - 5/5 stars Truly another standout entree that even surpassed my beloved grilled BBQ bossam. You received a generous basket of assorte greens, including romaine, kale, perilla leaves, dandelion leaves, nappa cabbage, and more. It is well worth the price and makes for a fun, interactive dining experience with your family and friends. There is also various banchan offered and this time, they were beyond kind enough to offer refills. The last time we were here, we ordered just as much food and they stated they normally did not offer refills, which I thought was very odd. With its casual bougie aesthetics, this spot has quickly become one of my favorite eateries in Fort Lee-lee, It beautifully blends Korean, Japanese, and American flavors in a way that feels both comforting and elevated. Needless to say, we will be back!

When we pulled up to the restaurant, we were informed there were a few levels. We went to the second floor and they were happy to accommodate us. We were rolling 6 deep and the booth was enough for us, but barely. In our party, majority of us wanted meat with the exception of 2 people only wanting shrimp and something else. We got the large beef combination platter which comes with ribeye, thin skirt, brisket, marinated kalbi, and marinated chuck flap. Most people stuck with water, while a couple got ginger ale. I ordered the soju flight but I ended up not liking it so my cousins shared it. The meal comes with different veggies as well as your choice of soup. We got the spicy tofu and split it 6 ways. The spice lived up to its name, so I didn't eat very much. The best part was meat. Despite there being 6 of us, there was plenty to go around. I think you have the option to cook it yourself or have them cook it for you and we chose the latter. While I enjoyed it, I wish there was more space. Most of the space was taken up by the accompaniments that come with it (veggies, etc), so there was hardly any room to put anything else. It didn't help that none of our dishes were cleared once we finished them and that no rice is included. Aside from that, both the food and service were great.

But there's no denying that BCD has upped their soondubu game considerably in the last decade+ with a thicker, more deeply flavored broth, and now easily rivals my longtime favorite and gold standard, the OG So Kong Dong in Fort Lee. Then I stumbled into a hack that changed my view: lunch! I ducked in for a late lunch on a whim while walking by one day, and this turned out to be a much chiller hour, unhurried and no reservation needed. I was promptly seated, my order taken, and the banchan swiftly laid out. The banchan spread is solid across the board (the little fried fish does nothing for me, but seems to be a highlight for everyone else). I especially love the kimchi, near-perfect IMO, and the pickled cucumber. There's a modest lunch discount, which is a nice bonus for someone who likes to order aggressively. I usually get an oyster, seafood, or assorted soondubu (with a raw egg cracked in), danger spicy of course! Or go the C1 combo route with a galbi (marinated bbq beef short ribs) + smaller soondubu. It's an enormous amount of food, so I take most of the galbi home and feel no shame about it. The galbi, by the way, has also gotten noticeably better over the years - meatier, tender, and the flavor is on point. I've also enjoyed their bibimbap, bulgogi, jap chae, and seafood pancake. Finally, let's talk heat - this chili-head loooves fire! And BCD's danger level is one of the rare instances where the spice level actually meets my punishing tolerance for heat, not some pretense at "American spicy.," despite this being a chain. Their danger level actually means business and brings tears to my eyes, literally. It's still not my favorite place ambience wise, and dinner remains a contact sport I've mostly opted out of, as gone are the days that I can tolerate a culinary mosh pit, and any wait longer than 10 minutes (and only for a superlative place) will trigger an automatic ejection of my presence. But for lunch? Unexpectedly great. 4 stars for dinner, 5 for lunch.
