Since I haven't had much Korean food, I went for the chicken strips, half of the order as soy garlic (bottom of picture), half spicy (top). All were crispy, crunchy, flaky, well sauced, and with white meat chicken. Soy garlic had a lot of familiar flavours like I would have with steamed dumplings. Spicy had nice fire ! If you like habanero, hot chili, and / or ghost pepper, this mouth heat is sure to light you up. Update 08/16/25: I got the Bibimbap with soy garlic chicken, and though I thought it looked plain, the veggies were all fresh, the meats were flavourful, and everything blended perfectly without being weighted down on a hot summer day. read more

Sampler was outstanding bit pricey. Chicken, wings, ch fries with special herbs, fried won ton, corn, coleslaw slaw best I've had.

Service was quick, quality of food good.. kind of hot inside, menu limited and way overpriced. Staff was friendly. If they dropped price by 35% or improved the inside I would add another star... read more

Yasss finally a Bonchon in DE! My husband and I are originally from VA which there are many Bonchons. We have been eyeing this place for the grand opening. My husband went there to pick up lunch for us once he saw they were open! We got the soy tenders + bulgogi fried rice. Always super good! I'm glad the flavor just as good from one chain restaurant to the next. Will def. Be back when we have another craving :) read more

The mixed chicken was great. The drumsticks was the best out of everything we got. I would do an order of them every time. Strips were good, but not that filling. Potstickers are very crispy. The only thing that would really make me go back would be the drumsticks. It is fairly expensive. Average $18 for each chicken order it seemed. read more

I do not recommend ordering online. The Bonchon website offers free delivery from today through the first week of September with code CRUNCH. Except for this location doesn't deliver. But you wont find out until after the order is already paid for and placed. Not only that but they refused to refund the tip just saying it was for the restaurant. Even though the website clearly states that the drivers keep 100% of the tips. Why would I tip $16.00 for food I was forced to pick up. Shady business. I was willing to forgive if the food was any good. Not the case. The only thing that was even good was the doughnuts. The bimibap was flavorless. The katsu chicken was thin and overcooked. Even the rice was dry. Definitely not trying this place again. Way way to expensive for the quality of food. read more

I'm always overly pleased when I visit this location. The young lady who handles the orders is very pleasant and on point.

First visit so I'll give them a pass and try again after they've been open 6 months or more. Rookie mistakes. Or? Is it? Eat in: food served hot and appealing. I was disappointed that they were shut down by L&I a week or two later. Wtw? They owe me for the 3 stars. read more

Bonchon Newark, College Park - Spicy Signature Chicken Sandwich - Korean Near Me - Newark, Delaware

Went on a sunday, ordered Koran tacos, soy garlic chicken (3 for $12.95) & a side ot kimchi ($3.25). it was very busy, lots of people waiting. i had to wait 25 minutes. Yikes. drive home, and had lunch. the tacos were very tasty, fresh lettuce & onions, good semi spicy sauce, but the chicken was tiny chopped bits of meat, maybe the size of a pencil eraser, got maybe 2 tablespoons worth on each, could barely taste any of it. a bit disappointing, theyre stingy with the chicken. the kimchi was very good, had a nice kick to it, but the portion size was small (see pic). while the food was tasty im not sure i'll go back, it's overpriced for what they give you & the wait is too long. read more

I love this chain of fried chicken but this store does not make the chicken as crispy as the one I have been to in Philly! The fried rice with bulgogi is really good though. Friendly staff and the service was pretty quick. read more

First BonChon in Delaware! Orders were messed up initially partially due to new staff and lack of training, however, once they got their groove, things got much better. Chicken is super crunchy and tasty as expected. read more

Love the double fried chicken. Service is prompt and friendly. I've tried PA and DE and the food is consistently the same.

Excited that Delaware finally has Korean fried chicken! Was surprised at how fast this place opened considering the Grove is still under massive construction. I think they definitely rushed the opening as they haven't hashed out the technology issues yet. Upon finding out it was open, I tried to place an online order on multiple occasions, only to find the website ordering not working. Don't even bother with the app, it just freezes and times out. Since I couldn't place an online order, I phoned in my order for the 6W/2D combo. When I arrived, the cashier informed me that my order was received as 6W only and that if I wanted the 2D, it would be another 15 minutes. I wasn't going to wait for 2 drumsticks. I'll give it another shot sometime in future, but only if they fix the online ordering. read more

Good wings I would be coming back every Friday night. If you never had there wings I highly recommend you try them.. read more

Decent and different food but the portions are very small. The chicken on my tacos was just crumbs of crunchy coating for almost 15? The equvalent of less than a chicken mcnugget. The staff were nice and the establishment was clean and uncluttered but the meal was a sad and poor value. There was at least one other review with the exact same experience with a comment from the restaurant. Very sad that the resturant failed to act on the feed back. read more

I was excited to try the new Bonchon after having it first in New York, then DC. I couldn't remember if I liked the spicy or soy garlic better so I got a mix of 6 bone in wings. The spicy definitely had a lot of kick and the soy garlic was like the calmer older sibling lol. Overall the chicken was great and my online order was ready about 10 minutes ahead of time. The store was packed when I arrived with people waiting outside so I suggest ordering ahead. Overall I enjoyed my food I just deducted one star because one of my wings was a boneless wing instead of bone in wing which I didn't care for so I tossed it. read more

So happy that we have a Bonchon in Delaware! For anyone unfamiliar, this is a Korean fried chicken spot. Their soy garlic fried wings are super, super good. That's why you go to Bonchon's, please try them. read more

I wasn't a huge fan but I could see why some would like it. Food is heavily fried. I think the prices are kind of crazy for what you get considering it's a fast casual place. We spent $50 for two people. Two meals and an appetizer read more

I was paying cash soon did not use the kiosk. The person taking my ordering was arguing with Door Dash about order miss up. Ordered placed and I watched order after order being screwed up with delivery people. After 10 min my order was ready (little slow) but it gave me the opportunity to watch the clown show in the back ( cooks). I watched one pour in red sauce (I assume hot sauce) the other guy came over and put in more as he laughed and then some more. Big joke!! I got home (5 miles) and opened up the container to - guess what.... The wrong entree. I ordered the beef stir fry (name escapes me), and I had some other "thing" that I had no idea what it was. The entree was extremely hot (and I love hot food) and the items were unidentifiable. $16.00 down the trash. I called and the person who took the order apologized. She was a one person show with zero support from the back. Those idiots need to be fired. Real funny guys!!! Well first and last time! If u go check your order before you leave. read more

This is some of the best fried chicken I've had in my life. Got the kids meal with a drumstick in the soy garlic sauce. The chicken was SO. CRISPY. The sauce was just light enough of a coat to not ruin the crispiness. And the fries were perfect even after carrying them out. And the cheesy corn was to die for. This is a hidden gem! read more

This place gets a negative score from me. Get this this Bonchon another try and was disappointed again. The wings never taste or feel like they're double fried. No crunch whatsoever. This is the worst Bonchon I have been to. Every other Bonchon I've been to has had good wings but not this one. They need to scrap this one and start over. read more

I have been waiting to try Bonchon for YEARS and was excited to see there was finally one close. This was def in the cut across from Newark High School and has small front room and limited dining side in the back. Place is new so it was very clean! It was however very loud in the store and had a hard time hearing the cashier. Both cashiers were polite and friendly and it didn't take long for the food to be ready, however we got mixed (soy garlic and spicy) and there was a toothpick in one side but didn't say what was what so A- for service. They have big holes in the boxes at the top to prevent steam from making the crispy skin moist as much as possible which I appreciated. We, however, took ours to go and by the time we drove 10 min home unfortunately the skin had gotten somewhat soggy but still had crispness to it. The chicken was cooked well (some of the wings were over cooked especially the flats) but not to the point it was inedible it was still good just not as juicy as I've seen in some youtube videos where juice runs out like Niagara Falls. They give you drumsticks and both wing parts, flats and drums and again drumsticks were cooked well and still crispy but not as juicy as I was hoping. The flavors were good, the spicy had a little kick to it and the soy was nice and savory. We got fried rice and fries as a side and the froses reminded me of Amore Pizza fries good, crispy but every once in awhile I got the taste or aftertaste I should say of "old oil" like it hadn't been changed recently. The fried rice has onion and red pepper in it along with f maybe and egg and was fairly dry and need some type of sauce or something to kick it up. All in all I'd definitely come back and I'm hoping to try the korean tacos they have and maybe some kimchi rice and the kimchi Mac and cheese. 3.8/5 or 7.5/10 from me...definitely a must try! I'd recommend eating in to maximize the crunch and juiciness of the chicken tho! read more

Food are very good and staffs are very friendly, I went there for lunch and wife got some for dinner

Did not get the chance to try it. I live in North Wilmington. My daughter and I checked out the website and decided to take the ride to try Bonchon for lunch. When I arrived it was complete madness. It's a tiny space but was filled to capacity with people waiting for their food. I stood in line for 15-20 minutes while I watched people inquire about what was taking so long and asked for refunds. By the time I got to the line they told me they weren't taking anymore orders because their kitchen couldn't handle it. Complete disappointment to have people stand in line only to turn them away. North Wilmington isn't around the corner and it was very inconvenient that we drove there for nothing. It looks as though they are very unprepared and unorganized for lots of customers and orders. Possibly won't go back and will just go to the Korean BBQ spot on kirkwood highway read more

I walked in and instead of being greeted it was "are you picking up" "what's your order". Hi sir. I'm good. Thanks. Secondly, ordered my food. 6 boneless wings, was asked if I wanted coleslaw or pickled radishes. Coleslaw. I sit down to wait. Two more people show up and order wings with fries and a drink. Another guy appears and orders a "plate". We're waiting. One gets a text her orders done. Another gets a text that hers is done. Then the guys name is called that his is done. I walked in and ordered before all of them WITH a smaller order yet I'm still waiting. I had to ask where's my food. He says "oh is this your name?" So it's done y'all just had it sitting there and never called my name while y'all called everyone else to get their orders? And when I get to the car y'all forgot my coleslaw?! Nah, y'all don't appreciate my business therefore y'all won't be getting my business anymore. Completely rude! read more

We were really excited to try Bonchon.. but, we ended up very disappointed. We ordered two meals and appetizer and our bill was $55. We ate our food there, it was extremely loud and chaotic. As we were eating, the store owner was yelling at the franchise manager regarding having to hire servers.... She was insane!!! We will never recommend this place to anyone! read more

I ordered the 4 wings and 2 drums combo, fries and coleslaw. Had to throw the coleslaw away. The coleslaw had an awful after taste. It was inedible. I've had it before so I know it's not supposed to taste like that. The chicken wasn't great either. Maybe the cooking oil was dirty. Very disappointed considering the price. I won't be back anytime soon. A waste of money. read more
