Finger lickin' good We had never been here before and had never tried this place but we were hanging out with friends in the area over the weekend, were in the mood for Asian fusion food, and wanted something that would reheat well. It was cold and rainy and we were staying inside as a group hanging out, watching movies and playing games and we wanted food that we could pick at through out the day and feed about 6 people. ...And hand's down this place gets 5 stars for exceeding our expectations Find a more detailed review below Ambiance: (5/5 Stars) While we did not eat here and took the food to go, the restaurant seemed very clean and sanitary. There were large windows you could sit and eat by. The tables were all white and the walls were colorful. But there was no outdoor seating, however and the location was small. Service: (5/5 Stars) The staff was all very nice, knowledgeable and helpful. They were recommending items as we ordered and answering our questions. They were hard working, taking orders and cleaning the entire time we were there. They brought out the food in about 20 minutes which was great for the amount of food we ordered. We waited outside and they called us in once our order was ready. Food: (5/5 Stars) The food was sooooo good, we didn't even get to take pictures because we dug right in. We ordered: an XL family meal (was not on paper menu at this location but can be found online) which came with 12 soy garlic wings (bone-in), 6 soy garlic drums, 2 orders of fries and plain fried rice. We also ordered 15 drum sticks, and a side order of kimchi, white rice, and kimchi coleslaw. Our group was mostly made up of people of color and there were signs all over the restaurant bragging about the chicken. This place is also a chain, and so of course we were hesitant about the quality of the food and wanted to judge this place for ourselves. But their double fried Korean style fried chicken gets our stamp of approval. It was crispy, crunchy and so flavorful. Everything else was good but the chicken was the star of the show. I'm getting hungry just thinking about it. It was mouthwatering and awoke all of your senses - yes it was that good! Price: (5/5 Stars) We spent a little over $100 but we were buying food for 6-7 people, split between all of us that was about $10-$20 a person but we were all able to have seconds and even thirds. You definitely get your money's worth at this place! read more

Standard korean fried chicken, Bonchon is one of the original chains that has been around for a while, but needs to up it's game with new chicken places that have popped up over the years. Don't get me wrong, it's not bad, it's just hard to give a great review when so many others do it slightly, if not much better. Let's talk location - cute spot actually. street parking only. staff is nice read more

Something wrong with this restaurant. 40 min waiting time for wings. And the place has not a single customer. They got a new tables, but the place is still terrible. Considered as junk food. Not recommended read more

Bonchon Nutley - New tables - Chicken Wings Near Me - Nutley, New Jersey

Worst Bonchon location ever! Ordered online for pickup and still had to wait 45 mins in the store since it was no ready. No service recovery, apology or explanation. The worker in the front just kept saying 10 to 15 more mins. Save yourself the hassle and don't order from here! After all that waiting, they couldn't even give some plates, ketchup or utensils. There was a sign that saying was out of order yet workers we still using it. read more

I ordered the 15pc wings and chicken, but unfortunately, the quality was very disappointing. The meat tasted unnatural--likely pumped with hormones--and had an unpleasant texture. I ended up wasting $40 on food I couldn't even finish, it tasted like something you'd feed your dog. In today's economy, this is the last thing anyone should spend their hard-earned money on. I genuinely tried to make it through the meal but couldn't help feeling nauseated. I would not recommend this place. read more

I always enjoy the soy garlic chicken here and the fries. Their chicken has such a mouth watering flavor and crunch and parmesan fries are really good as well. Theres other menu options available as well. Will keep coming here to try other items on the menu! Service is fast and friendly. Theres a few seating available, good for lunch and dinner. read more

The food is great. If you are willing to sit and wait a long time. I ordered at 530 pm, said it will be ready about 545 it was 602 when I finally got my order. Its always like this. Slow. read more

My wife went to pick up our order last night. They messed up her wing order, forgot 2 of our apps and forgot one of my dipping sauces. The ticket on the front of the bag clearly stated what we ordered and the order was still wrong. We got fried rice which we never ordered, you forgot our shrimp shumai, buns, and cucumber wasabi sauce, and the wing order was wrong. read more

I used to enjoy Bon Chon semi regularly. The chicken was always perfectly fried with a light coating of sauce that wasn't wet, but wasn't dry either. However, this location is terrible. First, is the wait. I ordered and was told the order would be ready in 45 minutes. We showed up, almost an hour later, only to be told the order "wasn't ready" and to come back in 30 minutes. Upon returning home the food (an order of chicken and potstickers with soy garlic sauce and seasoned fries), from a completely disinterested staff, the only thing that was prepared properly was the fries. The chicken was fried, had burnt edges and was so dry you could barely bite through it. Add to that it was drenched in sauce to the point of being inedible. The pot stickers were undercooked and similarly bathed in sauce. It appeared like they forgot my order (presumably while scrolling socials) and rushed it only to both overcook and undercook it. Then to cover it up poured a gallon of soy garlic on top to cover it up. I didn't bother returning. After waiting an hour and a half for inedible food, it wasn't worth my time. I will definitely never order from there again. read more

This place needs a deep cleaning and if this is the front of the place only imagine how "clean" the kitchen is. I told the girl at the register to let the boss know how dirty the place is but she only nodded her head, I'm not even sure she understood what I said. This place have Poor hygiene, hoping this review will make them clean up the place. read more

They always manage to get the order wrong. Wait times are ridiculous and the food quality is terrible.

I remember why I don't order from here. It's never on time and quality of the cooking is sloppy and messy. Avoid this store.

Korean fried chickens has always been a hit in my family. With a special offer of $11.99 for r drumstick, a handful of fried and a Korean donut, hubby and I drove to Fairfield/Parsipany to give it a try, though the counter person packed it for us as a takeaway so we bought it home, and of course it's a bit soggy. Nevertheless, it's still delicious. read more

Waited for over an hour to get my order. Place the order online to pick up in store. Went in and the cashier told me "to be honest with you I dont know how long your wait time is, the guys in the back did not even start making your order yet". The cashier told me he cant give me an estimated wait time. After 45 minutes of him telling other customers the same thing, I went back again and asked if my food was ready. He came back and told me another 15-20 minutes. There were two guys working in the back using black trash bags as aprons. There were two customers that went in to order in store, the cashier told them the wait will he long and they both left. Another guy was waiting and looked frustrated, turns out he was waiting to get his order for over 2 hours!! Horrible service, wont be coming back due to wait time. read more

No nonsense Korean wings joint on the main strip in Nutley. The service is always slow but it means the kitchen is hard at work making things as fresh as possible. Food is consistently good, wings always cooked to perfection. I would suggest to order in advance, but it still won't be ready when you arrive. read more

Bonchon Nutley - a sign that says sp & soy icey garlic - Chicken Wings Near Me - Nutley, New Jersey

Overpriced. Rude customer service. Rice is dry. It'll be steaming hot and they'll shove it into a plastic container. Very expensive and they'll forget parts of your order. The chicken is good but wow. let's do better, bonchon. read more

First time trying Bonchon and I ordered for pickup through UberEats because of a gift card that I had received. I really liked the flavors that Bonchon has to offer. I ordered the seasoned fries, they were decent but the portion size is so small. However, they do have a good portion size for the wings and drumsticks. I ordered the medium Fried Chicken Combo which came with 10 wings and 5 drumsticks with a side of pickled radish or coleslaw. I wanted to try both flavors that Bonchon offers so I got the half and half. It was honestly so good and I enjoyed both the spicy and soy garlic flavor. The spicy flavor is super spicy so make sure you can eat spice before ordering. My order was enough to feed 3 people because the wings and drumsticks were pretty big. The total came out to $34 dollars which is a decent price for the amount of food. The only downside to this location was the wait. I ordered the food 30 minutes prior to arriving however once I got there I still had to wait around 5 minutes for the order. So I do recommend preparing for a long wait. Also, they do not offer indoor and outdoor dinning so takeout only. read more

Employee himself was telling customers "You should've just ordered some place else" Waited 45 minutes for 50 pc wings, Somewhat reasonable wait time, but not considering you have to pop 50 frozen pieces of chicken into a fryer. Not only horrible wait time, but also the food was flavorless, full of cartilage, and I was actually missing 3 wings. Counted 47 read more

This place is not offering indoor dining at this time. I'd recommend call ahead and order because we waited over an hour for three items including their fried chicken, which is what I imagine people go there for. Let me start by saying I personally don't crave or cafe much for fried chicken so I found them to be okay they were crispy, pretty big compared to other places and not saucy. I did like their tacos however my taste buds were traumatized by the vegetable potstickers which were ridiculously spicy (I had one and had to wait at least 5 mins until my mouth wasn't on fire). I'm one that loves hot and spicy but the potstickers were extreme so I'd recommend just do the soy garlic flavor. read more

Have had take out many times, food sometimes inconsistent, family has mixed feelings, defy treason.

unfortunately the chicken taste old and as if it was refried. Waste of money and time

Saw on Grubhub so I said let's give it a try. Very surprising food was great. Hot and fresh. I'm very picky when it comes down to chicken. Even tho was boneless chicken it was not greasy at all. Cooked just right. Hoping to visit in person soon. See ya soon....... read more

My first time visiting this location and placed an order. It TOOK AN HOUR! A complete hour and they were slow in business and as customers were order even they grow frustrated! This is really poor service and the order wasn't complete either. Be aware of your purchase food to expect a very long wait and it would be best to go to a restaurant with better service at the same price! Sad! read more

Check the reviews. All spot on. My grub hub order said my food would be ready by 5:50-6pm. I get there at 6... had to wait in the store until 6:50!!!! I was told "5 more minutes" 3 times only for it to turn into a one hour ordeal. Only one person was at the register. NEVER AGAIN. read more

First of all I've never had a bad experience at any Bon Chon that I've eaten from! This one satisfied my craving while studying some materials. I deviated a bit on my sauces I always do Soy garlic all the way. Today I did half Sweet chili. I expected it to be overpowering with sweetness. But I was proven wrong. Perfection all the way around. The crispy bite after bite was good. They cooked that chicken with love. The veggie potstickers was so damn good!! I was good after finishing those 8 pieces. The star of the show is always the Soy Garlic for me. This Bon Chon didn't over sauce the wings and they were flavorful through and through. This one got me through all my CyberSecurity labs. Excellent job!! read more

Just your standard korean fried chicken joint. It was a lot more Americanized than I expected, but the chicken was really yummy! However the tteokbokki was a bit of a letdown. It was pretty heavy and under seasoned. Furthermore, the serving size is tiny for the price. The display looks nothing like the picture in the menu either. I just didn't get what I was expecting. I would come back for fried chicken but not for the tteokbookki! read more

We like a tasty indulgence once in a while and I know fried food is saltier but the last several times I've ordered food it tasted as if a whole bag of salt was dumped in recipes. Please please please take the salt level waay down or make lower salt options. I ordered an udon noodle soup and my lips were literally puckering and wrinkling from the amount of salt in the broth. It's not normal. read more

I should have read the reviews before ordering here. The ordering system online told me my order would be ready at 101 p.m. I was told that 1:45 p.m.., five more minutes. Food is typically good but I'm not sure the inconvenience is worth it. read more

Waited 50 minutes after the pick up time. Unfortunately you guys lost a customer. I don't want to expect to wait between 20-60 minutes each time in order. It's just not worth the wait. Clearly you guys get a lot of take out orders. Hire more cooks maybe? read more

Failed order. 3 soy chicken special 8 wings, and 1 Korean BBQ 4 wings/2 drumsticks were ordered. I checked the receipt too, which was correct; however, i got all orders with wings mixed with Drumsticks. Also i got a spicy order but it was not on the receipt. Food taste: what happened? chicken were not crunchy as expected, but was soggy with little crunch. Disappointed overall. Food is expensive but did not deliver satisfaction. read more

Love the food and the service is great. The staff is super nice. I would recommend the soy sauce on the pork dumplings.

Bonchon Nutley - Order in at 11:14 for a 11:30 pick up just left at 1:00pm with orders. - Chicken Wings Near Me - Nutley, New Jersey

Tried on the recommendation of family. I was told the quality can vary widely between locations and that Nutley location was the best in the vicinity. We had the following dishes: -Takoyaki: rated 0. Barely any octopus. The ball is mostly (~80%)squishy dough and tastes more of smoked herring than the octopus taste I was looking forward to. Would not recommend. -Chicken drumsticks: rated 5. Very crunchy, good flavor. The spicy flavor had a nice little kick. The soy garlic flavor was not at all garlicky. -Chicken strips: rated 4. They have the same delicious crunch and flavor as the wings. We gave them bit of a lower rating because some portions had a thick layer of dough batter (see pics). -Korean tacos with bulgogi: rated 4.5. Good fresh flavor. -Spicy chicken bibimbap: rated 3.5-4. There wasn't much chicken and it was a dry and not well flavored. At least 50% of the bowl consisted of rice which, paired with the relatively little veggies and poorly flavored chicken, made for an under flavored meal. It was highly reliant on the bibimbap sauce and I didn't think 1 packet was sufficient for the dish. -Bulgogi: rated 5. Very good. Very good amount of beef for the price and the flavor was good. I wish it were a bit more saucy to be able to flavor up all the rice it comes with but that's minor as the dish was very good. read more

We ordered 2 meals tonight 11/9.. they said it was going to be ready for 6 o'clock, so my son went , knowing that it usually takes a little longer , at 6:30 to get dinner. He did not get our meals until 7:10.. Nox and when he went to the car, the potstickers were missing so he went back in and had to wait while they make them. We only live a mile away, but by the time he got home everything was cold and had to be put into the oven. Won't be returning anytime soon. Other people were waiting and pacing the floor as their orders were very delayed as well. It's a shame because the food was very good but not worth the hassle . read more
