Convoy has no shortage of great food, but this spot definitely earned a return visit from me. We came across their dine-in combo deal for $40 that includes wings, bites, and a dish, and honestly it felt like a steal for the amount of food we got. The wings came tossed in soy garlic and they were fantastic. Korean fried chicken just crisps differently and this place nailed it. Perfect crunch on the outside and juicy inside. Something about that style of fry just hits. For the bites we chose potstickers, and they actually let us toss them in one of the wing sauces which was such a cool way to try another flavor. We went with yangnyeom and it had a really nice kick. I love spicy food so that was a pleasant surprise. I ended up dipping my soy garlic wings into the extra yangnyeom sauce from the potstickers and wow... that combo was incredible. The wings also came with coleslaw which balanced out all the fried goodness perfectly. They even give you a bucket for your chicken bones, which is such a small but thoughtful touch that keeps the table clean. Our dish was Japchae, which was a great addition to round out the meal. Service was also on point. The wings came out hot and crispy, and they even gave us wipes with the check which was super appreciated after demolishing a pile of wings. Overall this was a fantastic meal and a great deal. Easy 5 stars and I can't wait to come back. read more

Bonchon Convoy - The whole ass meal - Chicken Wings Near Me - San Diego, California

Tucked away in a small strip mall, this spot can be a bit tricky when it comes to parking. Inside, there's plenty of seating, but you'll need to wait to be seated, which feels a little out of place for such a casual setting. The experience might run more smoothly if they offered counter ordering with open seating. As for the food, it's solid but not particularly memorable. The fries are your standard seasoned beer-battered style--crispy, but lacking originality. The chicken sandwich had good flavor and was the highlight of the meal, though it wasn't enough to truly stand out overall. In the end, it's a decent option, but not one that strongly pulls me back for another visit. read more

One of my favorite spots for a quick meal when you don't want to spend a lot of money. I've been coming here for their Monday/Tuesday $1 wing deals and $2 Sapporo happy hour. The vibes in here are great, with friendly, quick service as well as a lively ambience with upbeat music. There are many flavors to choose from and I tend to stick with the yangnyeom flavor, which combines sweet, savory, and spicy Korean taste into a sauce. Their wings are very crispy and tender. We also got the bulgogi fries and potstickers, which offered a nice contrast with its soft filling. The best part of the fries was the spicy/creamy mayo that paired well with the savory bulgogi. read more

The Monday and Tuesday $1 wings is so awesome. There's a 15 wing limit, but that's more than enough. That being said, the wings were so good. I felt like the skin stayed crispy despite the sauciness of the wings. And I'm not going to lie, the french fries hit HAHA. We came in kind of late, so I appreciate the quick service and good service at that, despite us being there until just before closing. There's lots of seating inside and the vibe is very chill. Whether you're there hanging out, watching the game, or just catching up with friends. A great place to eat. read more

Ordered 2 sets of mixed chicken with soy garlic and it was delicious! The worst part of this location as opposed to the one in Mira Mesa is the parking. The likelihood you will find parking in the evenings is slim. I am not sure if it is normally like this, but the drumsticks are HUGE. Unlike most chicken-based restaurants, the batter to meat balance is perfect. The chicken is still crunchy even after a 2 hour drive! read more

With shrinkflation robbing us daily and everything costing an arm and a leg, hearing about $1 wings felt unreal. The deal is dine in only, max 15 wings per person, and only on Mondays and Tuesdays. Bonchon is located in the Convoy Pointe Plaza and that parking lot is a nightmare. We went on a Monday around 7PM and the lot was completely full. People were parking a couple blocks away and walking. After circling for about 20 minutes we finally found a spot. Inside, it was vibrant and packed. We were lucky enough to grab the last open table. The party behind us waited about 10 more minutes, so expect a little wait. We were handed menus right away, but for the next 20 minutes no one came by. No water, no drink order, nothing. On a busy promo night I get that amazing service is hard, but a little attentiveness would have been nice. $1 wing deal. The flavors included Soy Garlic, Spicy, Yangnyeom, Korean BBQ, and Classic Crunch. I ordered 5 Classic Crunch wings with pickled radish and a side of spicy mayo. My partner got 10 wings, half Spicy and half Soy Garlic. We also ordered the sotteok sotteok for $2.99, which is a Korean street food skewer with chewy rice cakes and sausage coated in yangnyeom sauce. Our food came out about 15 minutes later and we finally got water. Everything smelled amazing. The wings overall were super crispy and held their sauce well. The soy garlic was my favorite. Balanced and flavorful. The spicy was extremely hot but still enjoyable if you can handle heat. The Classic Crunch had a great exterior but was way too salty. I was glad I ordered spicy mayo to balance it out. For $1 though, they are solid. Good meat, juicy inside, and fried well. The pickled radish was disappointing. It had the crunch, but it lacked that sharp acidic sweetness you usually expect. It tasted under brined and flat. The sotteok sotteok was pretty good. Chewy rice cakes, juicy sausage, and that garlicky yangnyeom sauce. I honestly wish I ordered another one. I can see myself coming back on Mondays or Tuesdays for the deal and the vibe, but probably not on a regular day. There are better wing spots, but for $1, it's hard to complain too much. read more

This is Bonchon's OG location in the SD area as it opened in the Convoy Pointe Plaza Shopping Center several years ago. The internal corner suite they occupy is not the most optimal spot especially with the notoriously jammed parking lot. They used to have long lines for dining in, but now the tables were well spaced apart with less seating capacity. I think it's because most of their revenue was coming from takeout and third-party delivery orders. During my recent visit, just three other parties were seated. A special menu card listed a Bacon x Kimchi collaboration with three items. The regular menu featured Korean fried chicken in the form of wings, drumsticks, strips, and boneless with small, medium, and large quantities available. You choose a type, quantity, sauce, and small side for an order. A variety of Bonchon bites (appetizers) appeared on the other side of the menu. I selected the Bacon Kimchi Stir-Fry Udon from the special collab menu and a small (10 pc) order of soy garlic wings with pickled radishes. Both items arrived simultaneously after about a 15-minute preparation time. The first was made up of wheat noodles stir-fried with bacon, pork belly, kimchi, and onions. A soy garlic and spicy sauce was used to flavor the mix which had a mild heat level. The wings were hand battered, double fried, and hand brushed with the soy garlic sauce I picked. I recall that the wings were light and crunchy when I first tried them years ago. This time the batter seemed heavier and overcooked. I am uncertain if they changed their formula, but I wasn't as impressed as before. The fact that they charged less than two dollars per wing was positive and why I rounded my rating up to a four star level. read more

Come here on Mondays or Tuesdays for $1 wings! It's a super good deal and the wings are Korean style deliciousness. They also have $5 draft Sapporo beers after 9pm. I think this special is everyday. The service is fast but they're super busy on wing special days. However they are bussin their butts to make sure you get your wings! There are TVs so you can enjoy your favorite sports while having wings. I recommend soy garlic for savory or Yangnyeom if you like some spice. Their other items are good, but just stay with the wings and you won't go wrong. read more

Bonchon wings are a solid 10/10. Perfectly crispy, packed with flavor, and I love that you can mix flavors in one order. Everything came out fresh and hot, and the quality is always consistent. Definitely a go-to spot when you're craving wings. Services was great & I asked a few questions since I was new to trying. The ambiance is casual and modern.clean, laid-back, and perfect for grabbing wings with friends or a quick bite. Comfortable vibe that makes you want to sit, eat, and enjoy without feeling rushed. Tuesday wings are $1 but you must dine in for special heads up. read more

My kids loved the bulgogi fries here! We intentionally came on a Monday so that it's cheaper. Mon and tues is 1$ wings. Otherwise korean chicken wings are just too expensive! We got the Korean, soy, fire, and the new flavor yangyeom. I think my favorite is fire but its not spicy at all. My kids opted for the korean feast. You get to choose 1 from each category. They chose 6 wings with 3 drum sticks, bulgogi fries, and the tteokbokki. They enjoyed all of it and its 40$ i think its a good deal. The inside is nice and big but their beer on tap tastes weird. The service was so great bc my server forgot my beer. I had to ask for it a second time. All in all, we will definitely come again! read more

Hands down the best Korean chicken spot in San Diego: especially for their happy hour wing nights on Monday and Tuesday (dine-in)! The wings are perfectly crunchy, double-fried to golden perfection, and bursting with flavor. The soy garlic easily my favorite: savory, slightly sweet, and absolutely addictive. The ambience was just right: music at a comfortable level, lighting that gives a nice night-time vibe, and plenty of TVs showing different things. My husband and I didn't pay much attention to the screens though: we were too busy enjoying good conversation and amazing food. Our server, Michaela, made the experience even better. She took the time to ask our names, gave us rubber bands when our to-go container broke, and overall made us feel genuinely welcome: it felt like home. If you're looking for a go-to spot for Korean wings, this is it. Great food, great service, and a chill atmosphere that makes you want to come back every week (which we have apparently!) read more

Stopped by for the $1 wings deal, which was the main draw. We tried both the yangnyeom and soy garlic wings. The yangnyeom was the better option with a solid sweet-spicy flavor, while the soy garlic was fine but pretty forgettable. Overall, the food was just alright--crispy enough, but nothing that really stood out. The visit felt very straightforward and no-frills. It was busy, orders were handled efficiently, and the space had that typical chain restaurant feel--clean and functional, but not particularly inviting. Worth it if you're there for the deal, but outside of that, the experience felt pretty average. read more

I keep forgetting to write a review for Bonchon. I've always been a fan of their crispy chicken. I tried bonchon over 20 years ago in the east coast and the flavor is always consistent. They have soy garlic and spicy flavor. I always opt for soy garljc since my body cant handle anything spicy. The chicken is always crisp and the soy garlic adds the right amount of tang. Over the years they added more menu options like rice bowls, rice cakes and other korean snackies. I like this location because it can accommodate large groups. The staff is always nice here whenever we go. The only issue would be parking, especially if you're visiting during the weekend or dinner rush. Im always open to trying other KFC places but bonchon is still my favorite read more

The food was disappointing. I got the bulgogi bibimpap and there was barely any meat. The bowl was also quite dry so I asked for soy sauce and the server brought that but also another sauce to which he made sure to mention it usually costs $1. They also forgot our kimchi and cucumber salad so I had to remind them. After we got everything the server then asked if they forgot anything else. The floors were dirty and sticky and just an overall weird vibe, dark and dead. The night before I had the chicken wings which were very good so that's why I came back but now I think I'm done here. read more

My husband and I came here a couple weeks ago for lunch and had a great time. The service was great and the food was even better. We walked in and were seated right away. They did start to get busier as happy hour started so we got there at the perfect time. Everything was clean and I liked the feel of the restaurant. The food was so good! We shared a few things which was the way to go. The Tteokbokki was chewy and slice but a little sweet. Perfect with the mozzarella cheese on the top. Definitely coming back for their fried chicken and chicken wings. They had a good selection of craft beers and it was perfectly chilled when served. Super appreciate that. We will be back for happy hour! read more

We stayed at a hotel a full 8 miles away from this Bonchon, but lucky for us, we were somehow within its delivery radius. Even luckier, the chicken was still hot and crispy when it arrived, and we got to enjoy a Korean fried chicken dinner on the beach in La Jolla. I ordered a K-Meal To-Go for 4-6, which came with 12 wings, six drumsticks, and two sides I supplemented this with an extra order of drums and a few more sides, as well as Korean donuts for dessert. This was just enough food for four adults and a few kids who were also eating some Easy Mac. Bonchon has been around for ages, long enough that locations have opened, thrived, and then closed in New York and Los Angeles. It's one of the original Korean fried chicken chains, and I was pleased to see that the food was still delicious. Both wings and drumsticks were tender and juicy, and I enjoyed all three flavors we ordered--the classic crunch, the soy garlic, and the Korean BBQ. The classic crunch was basically Southern style, with a nice shatter of batter. A couple of dipping sauces--ranch and spicy mayo--went well with the sauce-free chicken. The soy garlic was great, the OG sweet and salty KFC flavor, while the KBBQ was pleasantly sticky and spicy. Both the K-meal and the drums came with sides, so we got a spread of fries, coleslaw, and pickled radish. All solid, but the pickled radish was the most essential. We also added some addictive Korean street corn with Kewpie mayo, mozzarella, Korean red chili flakes, and scallions, plus an order of mediocre steamed edamame. The Korean donuts were an impulse purchase, and I was honestly surprised by how good they were--fresh, light, chewy twists of fried dough, fragrant with cinnamon and sugar. They came with a sweet cream dipping sauce that looked unappetizing but tasted fantastic. The kids went crazy for these donuts, and I was glad I had the foresight to get two orders. This was an easy, tasty way to feed a large party and satisfy both adults and children. It's too bad that Bonchon left Los Angeles. I'd totally order again if I had the opportunity. read more

Chicken is as crunchy as they claim. We got the 20 pieces. We asked if we can choose three flavors but apparently you can only split that into two flavors (10 pieces for each flavor). We got the spicy and plain. The spicy one is to the point that would give you runny nose. The plain one is good for kids. Server was nice. read more

This is the best Korean Fried Chicken in San Diego. I have tried other KFC places but they don't seem to compare to Bonchon.i love the soy garlic flavor the best. The wings are always so crispy and juicy. On Mondays and Tuesdays they have $1 wings (up to 15 wings per person.) also they have a 3 combo meal for $40. We ordered 10 wings +bulgogi fries and tteckbokki with a side of pickled radish. And added 15 wings to our order. Everything was delicious . The fries in the bulgogi fries were thick and crispy . Flavorful with the sauces and pieces of bulgogi. Treckbokki came with 2 pieces of veggie pot stickers. The rice cakes were chewy and the sauce was cheesy and a bit spicy. Only thing lacking was the service this time as they were a bit slow to take our order and we had to ask for more water. The food, however, came on a timely manner. Definitely come on a Monday or Tuesday for these deals.fParking can be difficult to find in the lot so sometimes we park on the street. read more
