    CRUNCH! Korean Fried Chicken
    Toshi I.

    We need Bonchon to open in the South Bay of SoCal! We were able to order authentic Korean Dolsot Bibimbap which was hearty and didnt skimp on the bonchon ingredients. We also ordered the signature CRUNCHY Korean chicken. So delicious and that crunch is addicting! My son was able to order the Korean Chicken sandwich "American" style with fries. This place is popular and it's great if you are with mixed company and there's a little something for everyone. Definitely will be back to try other dishes when we are in town.

    Bonchon is the best KFC (Korean fried chicken) in the triangle hands down. The seasonings and texture are so on point and the chicken is juicy. Simply perfection. Chef's kiss every time. I can't speak to the dine in experience because I've only had takeout from here but it has never disappointed me. Soy garlic and classic are favorites. Corn and fries are decent but nothing special. The corn is notably sweet though which was nice.

    My nephews and I stopped at Bonchon Korean fried chicken for lunch two days ago on a Friday. I had not heard about this restaurant before, but one of my nephews was familiar with it so we went. We just did a walk-in. I don't know if they accept reservations or not, but we were seated right away. Everyone was pleasant and courteous. Our server was patient and gave us time to peruse the menu before taking our order. We ordered wing plates with fries and also edamame. The edamame was prepared nicely and with the sea salt on top, it really gave it a wonderful flavor. The highlight for me were the wings. I cannot describe in words how great these wings were. They had the right crisp on the outside, moisture and tenderness on the inside, and the flavor was absolutely fabulous! I highly recommend this restaurant and will definitely visit again.

    We tried this place twice now. We had the same server. It was her second day the first time we dined there. She was super sweet and bubbly and a joy to talk to. The first and second time we ordered the Seoul sampler. It included 2 drums, 4 wings, Bulgogi Fries, Pork Potstickers, Korean Street Corn and Coleslaw. The chicken you could Pick your flavor: soy garlic, spicy, Korean bbq, yangnyeom, classic crunchy, or no sauce. The first time we tried the Korean BBQ and the second time we ordered it separately so I tried the soy garlic and one got the spicy and one got the yangnyeom (which was described and spicy & sweet) I did try a bite of the others and my palette is kinda plain and both were too spicy for me. My favorite would have to be the Korean BBQ. The chicken is super crunchy and juicy and really popular. I see so many too go orders and dine in and almost everyone orders the chicken. They have it down to perfection. The corn is delicious, sweet and crunchy and creamy. The coleslaw is super creamy with extra mayo and sweet. The slaw is a very course cut super crunchy. The bulgogi fried were super seasoned meat and delicious. The fries were crunchy and I would order that as an entree by itself. We did also try the pork belly boa buns. I would definitely order these again but maybe try the bulgogi or chicken. We will absolutely return here many times since it's close to our house and the great food.

    Bonchon in Raleigh never disappoints. I always have a great time when I go to Bonchon. The food and service are always great. Friendly staff. We got their 10 pc wings, pork buns, and bulgogi fries and they were all so delicious! Can't wait to go back!

    One word. DELICIOUS! Our waitress was amazing. Music was great! As you see we ordered a bunch of different items to share. Everything was delicious. Everything had its own taste. Very flavorful! Had you wanting more!!! Even my picky eater 10 year old loved it too!

    Wings in garlic soy sauce and slaw

    The food for the hype was not as stellar as we had hoped, but overall, we left satisfied. The pricing was a bit high for what you're getting and think they were maybe 15 to 20% Higher than what they should be based on other dining experiences. I totally get the reviews regarding pricing and everything costing more.... e.g. I have a kid with a big appetite, and the children's menu having four boneless wings is just too small of a portion, so we had upsize to a full size of boneless wings which is double the cost of course, but then because she won't eat coleslaw or anything pickled, we wanted to get fries as a substitute side and they refused, which of course added to the bill. It would have been nice to be accommodating so this was irritating. The chicken definitely had a great crunch, however, disappointed in the options of sauce flavors as it was limited. I really love garlic so chose to get the soy and garlic sauce however the soy was extremely heavy handed and made the chicken taste salty. We tried the ice cream just because we were there and after trying three flavors would suggest only the salted caramel for flavor, but very generally, the strawberry and chocolate was pretty flavorless. The drumstick was definitely the highlight of the meal, it was mega

    Food was amazing !!! Our waitress was very friendly and helped us pick our choices since it was our first time eating here. She was one point. Very nice establishment!! Will definitely be back

    This food was amazing!! Tasted just like the chicken when I lived in South Korea! I'm definitely coming back.

    All the different BonChon locations.

    Great service, welcoming, kind, helpful, all the things. Enjoyed listening to Korean music, since it's Korean Bon Chon after all. Pleased to see they even have locations in Cambodia, Thailand, Singapore and even Bahrain! Sweet! As for the food, I've been to many different Bon Chon restaurants and this one is quite overly breaded, which I didn't enjoy as much. My friends always told me every Bon Chon is independently owned so I guess that explains it. It's still good, but I prefer other locations if I had the choice.

    This is my sisters plate I forgot to get a before of mine anyways, the place is good but the seasoning is the sauce unfortunately and their kinda on the expensive side but running a restaurant isn't easy so I understand I recommend the regular fried rice ts was thebomb.com and yk Asians don't play bout being clean so their bathroom was super nice

    Really good chicken. We ordered to go combo. The radish is definitely a great add on - making the chicken less greasy. First time trying this place in NC. Very similar to the one I've tried in nyc.

    We came after lunch rush around 1:45pm and was greeted with friendly staff, quick service and freshly hot food. The staff were very accommodating to our sensory sensitive toddler that needed to be secluded from others. Food were all excellent! Very clean and welcoming! Saw a lot of people dining in and ordering takeout. Would definitely recommend to give them a try!

I hate to rate this place a 1-star but the service during this visit was disappointing. Some of our friends arrived about 30 minutes before us and ordered something small while they waited. When we got there, there weren't enough seats for all of us, so we asked if we could move to a larger table. The staff told us we couldn't because our friends had already eaten, even though the rest of us were planning to order. On top of that, our water was never refilled, which reinforced the feeling of being an inconvenience rather than a guest at the restaurant. I remember the service being much warmer when I last came here about two years ago. I was excited to see the new market/shop front and updated seating, but unfortunately the service this time made the experience feel pretty unwelcoming.

Crispy on the outside, juicy inside, and coated in that sweet-spicy glaze that has depth of flavor. Messy in the best way possible. Unfortunately, chicken wings at Bonchon tasted much better for me. The cold bibimbap was refreshing and well-balanced -- fresh veggies and a nice chilled contrast to the hot wings. It felt light but still satisfying. I am not sure if the hot bibimbap would've tasted better. I was expecting more flavor, and more side dishes, being it a Korean restaurant. Service was good. We came for lunch on a Monday and there was only one other customer when we arrived.

Even though this time we did not see the robot which is always cool we did have excellent service. Our waitress was quick and attentive, she always helped in any way she could and make great recommendations. It's pricey but for a nice before surgery for my kiddo, totally worth it! Food is wonderful, we did the AYCE silver meals, the youngest did not eat enough for that to been worth the price but the gentleman made up for it. I would love for them to offer more side options or sauce options. The place was pretty clean, busy and a great place for date night, family night, or group get togethers

I came here when I was visiting my in laws, so naturally, I wanted to expose them to KBBQ. Unfortunately, I picked this place because a lot of reviews said its the best and allat, when in truth, this place is one of the worst KBBQ I have ever visited. Not only they stopped serving lettuce wrap (sure, they have it in the menu but they didn't stock it because their lettuce supplier increased the price or whatever), they did not offer any other wrap options like a decent kbbq should have (rice wrap, radish wrap, or shisho leave...etc). The meat quality? It's the cheapest cut you could ever get. The kalbi cut is so thin and tasted old (spoiler alert, they should be thicker and higher quality..), the other unseasoned meat cut is lower quality too. The seasoned meat were so bad I had hard time enjoying it. The bulgogi did not taste like a propee bulgogi and once again, tasted old like it has been in the fridge for too long. The spicy bulgogi was so grainy and not spicy at all, almost like they're using low quality gochugaru. Honestly, you will be much better off buying your own ingredients at h-mart or any asian grocery than going to this place. The only saving grace was the kind server who tends us often. 10/10 will not recommend.
