    Takoyaki
    Trey T.

    Service was amazing, our server was very attentive to our needs and she spoke like she knew the menu very well, even listing the ingredients in the entrees. We're not new to the franchise, just the location. So we got takoyaki, street corn, bulgogi fried rice, and a large platter of soy garlic and spicy chicken wings. Every thing was great and had the distinct Bonchon flavor. The bathrooms are clean and the vibes of the restaurant was pretty casual. Great place!

    Seasoned French Fries

    I ordered BonChon on DoorDash so I can't speak to the ambiance of the restaurant. My food arrived hot, well packaged and all requested condiments included. I ordered the bone in wings with Korean bbq sauce and seasoned french fries. The food was amazing. Chicken was crispy and nicely coated with the bbq sauce. The fried were crispy and well seasoned. I absolutely enjoyed my meal and will definitely be ordering again

    I've heard good things about this place and their take on Korean fried chicken, from the lovely Spensyr K., so when a recent opportunity presented itself, I decided to give it a shot. First thoughts on walking in was that it was dirty and loud. Only a couple of tables were empty and the lone waitress said right up front she was too busy to take a table so it would be 10 - 15 minutes or so. I would much rather be told ahead of time than sit and wait and wonder, so that alone brought this up a star. The bar had a couple empty seats but they were still full of dishes from the last person that sat there so we decided to leave, order take out, and then pick it up. So that's what we did. The process went pretty smoothly, ordered via the app, everything was assembled, and off we went. Smooth as buttah... My thoughts : * Sauces were super tasty. Yangnyeom is awesome. KBBQ was really good too. * Chicken was small pieces and overcooked. Very disappointed. * Pickled radish was the star of the show.

    Kimchi Coleslaw this was SO good!

    Bonchon, little did we know you were a chain, but little did we know how your wings would leave a lasting impression on us for the rest of our lives. Korean hot wings, wait what? Does that work? Oh let me tell you, yes yes it does and they are amazing. Soy garlic or spicy. If you like heat, get the spicy, get the spicy and the pickled radish. Get extra wings too, because once you start, you cannot stop. You will be begging to keep the wings coming. They have this extremely crunchy coating, which then is coated in this amazing sauce (both the soy garlic and the spicy are amazing). They are brought to your table hot and crispy and a hot wing perfection. You can actually get with wings or chicken drumsticks. Yes whole drumsticks deep fried with sauce. Hands down best wings I have ever eaten. Best coating, the best sauce. Just yes. I actually ordered the japchae with a side of kimchi slaw. It's was so delicious. The perfect seasonings for the japchae and the kimchi slaw was different but amazing. However I can't lie, once I had wings I had to order wings for myself. The japchae was great, but the wings were better. The kimchi slaw was delicious but the pickled radish was so perfect to take the heat away from the spicy wings. Overall it was a great experience, the service was just a little slow, but the good was more than worth it. Anytime I travel now I'm looking to find a Bonchon to sit and devour wings at. I will definitely be back!!

    Salmon Avocado Ball
    Hayley C.

    This was my second time going here (first was at the Allston location). I had tried the salmon avocado ball and HAD to go again because I loved it so much. My boyfriend had also gotten the chicken wings. I'm not a poultry person at all but he told me to have just a bite, and I admit they were pretty good. I think I'm just used to not eating much meat so it didn't like, WOW me or anything. The second time, I got the ball again and loved it obviously LOL. It's sooo flavorful and I always want to order like 3 more!! However I can tell that the Salem location is definitely not as popular as the one in Allston. Not sure why

    Response back with managements excuse.

    Service was terrible. I have eaten at Bonchons before and this location by far was not a good experience. Came in around 3pm and only 3 other tables with 1 servers. We figured it was between shifts, but what could go wrong. Took 15 min just to get our drinks and place and order for food. By 4pm we still didn't have our food and when it did arrive it was ALL COLD. Not just cooled down, but cold. When we wrote a complaint the manager Peter gave an excuse that the back of house (kitchen staff) was on break which shouldn't be an excuse. Being short staff I would assume they are backed up cooking food and would further assume food would come out fresh and hot, especially if we waited 45 min for it. We sent back the food and paid for our drinks and appetizer. For the inconvenience we should have been comped for the drinks and a manger should never blame their lack of scheduling on lathe sub par service and extremely long wait. I will go to Bonchon again, but never again at the Salem location.

    See all

    Avoid. Food sub par. Food was over cooked and poorly flavored. Restaurant was deserted which should have been an indication.

What a great way to start lunch on a Sunday. I had my regular, which is the bbq chicken plate with steak fries and a garden salad with italian dressing. Like before, everything was great! I got the salad first. It was fresh, perfect size and the italian dressing is just like my Mother's growing up! It brings back those great memories. Soon after finishing the garden salad, I was quickly served my main dish of BBQ chicken with steak fries. The portion size is great. The grill master was right on again....cooked perfectly and the perfect chicken breast size. I took my time eating and watched some ESPN talking about March Madness and all the games coming up on the Sunday. It was a great place to be and a great lunch to have! I have been to Champions approx. 6-8 times and each time I visit I leave satisfied with the service, the price and of course, the food! What a spot! One thing that I need to try are the steak tips! I have heard the battle about who has the best tips but I cannot offer my opinion because I have never tried the Champions tips! I will and I will write them up when I get a chance.

    Food Review: Paddy Kelly's - Peabody, MA…read more If you're looking for classic bar food done right, Paddy Kelly's at 154 Washington St, Peabody, MA, is a must-visit. From giant margarita towers to loaded nachos and hearty burgers, this spot delivers on both flavor and value. Whether you're out with friends or family, it's the kind of place where you can kick back, indulge, and enjoy some solid comfort food in a no-frills setting. The Must-Have Dishes Kitchen Sink Nacho Tray ($17.95) - An absolute steal! This massive tray of nachos is loaded with grilled chicken, chili, tomatoes, onions, black olives, and jalapeños, served with salsa and sour cream. Easily feeds four people and is hands-down worth coming back for. 9/10 Buffalo Chicken Sandwich ($14.95) - Crispy buffalo chicken with just the right amount of heat, paired with cool bleu cheese. If you're hunting for a great Buffalo chicken sandwich near Medford or Boston (seriously, where are the good ones?), this is a solid contender. 9/10 Smokehouse Burger ($14.95) - Stacked with BBQ sauce, bacon, an onion ring, and pepper jack cheese, it was a good burger, but honestly, the onion rings stole the show. Cooked perfectly crisp-- which so many places mess up! 7/10 Hit or Miss Steak & Cheese Egg Rolls ($14.95) - Filled with shaved steak and served with buffalo ranch for dipping, these had great flavor but were just way too greasy. 6/10 Pizza - Undercooked, but decent for the price. If you're looking for a great pizza, this isn't the spot. 5/10 Drinks: The Real Star Margarita Tower - Absolutely massive and perfect for sharing. You can't go wrong with this one! Giant Espresso Martinis - If you're a fan of espresso martinis, they go big here--definitely worth trying. Final Verdict If you want a true Boston dive bar experience, this is it. No frills, just solid food and strong drinks at a great price. Come for the drinks and nachos! - Food: 7/10 on the bar food scale. - Affordability: 8/10 - Ambiance: 5/10 (It's a dive bar--if you want a true Boston experience, come here!) - Overall: 7/10

    Made a pit stop on Saturday night at Lazy Dog Sports Bar, which is located in Wyoma Square, Lynn…read more We have never been but have heard a lot of good things about steak tips and chicken.....two of our favorites. Upon entry, we saw a busy bar scene....football games on the tv's and lots of people chatting and having a good time. The dining room, which is located just off the bar area, was kind of small, but was perfect size for the crowd! We were seated rather quickly and given menu's and drinks! We quickly found out Lazy Dog was a family-locals bar, which is a good thing! The vibe was everyone kind of knowing each other and enjoying the food, company and drink. We ordered and the food came rather quickly. We had the caesar salad with grilled veggies and the chicken breast dinner with fries. Both were brought out with hefty amounts on the plates. All the food was great tasting. I had a small dinner salad, which was fresh and perfect size. The chicken I had was tasty, cooked perfectly and plenty. The caesar salad was fresh, as well and we raved about the grilled veggies that came along with it. I wish I ordered the baked beans....but I didn't! I plan to when I return. There is nothing like baked beans and dinner! We wish we could have hung around for the music, but they did not set up in time for us to watch them play. Again, it seemed like a lot of patrons were waiting for the music because they have heard them before....which is great for local, neighborhood places. FYI, entry is in the back. Also, parking is easiest around the back.
