Service is inconsistent. Visited here multiples for the $1 wings deal and also few times without any deals. They have a policy of not being able to add on wings if you don't order it in the beginning which they don't always enforce so it's confusing. If you don't order with the deal the wings come out to about $2 per wing so the deal is def good value. However, you order by piece and there's no pickled radish included. Without the deal, the pieces go by multiples of 8 so 8pc,16pc, 24 pc and the radish is included. The guy with the mustache, silver chain, and accent was very friendly and I appreciated his attitude. However. another guy with braids seemed very over his shift or whatever it was, he just seemed very tired. While taking our order, we asked if cucumber salad could be on the side of the chicken sandwich. to which he answered no they cannot bc the portion is different (?) idk why that would matter and maybe it's not even his fault but it was the way he was talking to us. I understand. it's probably pretty busy bc of the promotion and the employees do not get paid that much more to work during the promotion, but i just wish his attitude was more friendly! It's a little off putting and deters me from wanting to visit again. with that being said, the food is good and they are attentive, even if without friendliness. i love their soy garlic sauce, the chicken is very crispy and satisfying. but bf got the chicken sandwich and said it wasn't that great. they have a few games to play like a big connect 4 outside and mini foosball table inside and some other games near the restroom area. I would give this more of a 3.5 but i'll round up, I do enjoy the promotion and they have a loyalty program with the "stampme" app now but you cannot get stamps during promotion days read more

Came here as I was in the area and it sounded good. I was very impressed. The soy garlic was my favorite. That flavor just was perfect savory with a perfect touch and hint of garlic. It didn't overpower it. The classic crunch was also really good a little salty but not bad I think next time I would just stick to the soy garlic. I also ordered the Bulgogi bowl just because I wanted to try the flavor of the Bulgogi. You can tell it's homemade fresh not too overpowered with soy flavor. I like the touch of mushrooms and scallions with it. It had a lot of flavor. Now in terms of the staff, it seems like it's a family own business. Everybody was so kind and helpful. Very respectful. This restaurant is also so clean. I didn't see any dirty tables or anything. read more

Bonchon SGV is having a special dine-in weekday promo going on: $1 wings! Enjoy up to 15pc wings for only $15 :) We got the sweet & garlicky soy garlic and slightly spicy & tangy yangnyeom flavors. They also offer other flavors like classic crunch, which pairs perfectly with the creamy spicy mayo sauce! The wings were perfectly crispy and juicy. We also ordered the Seoul Sampler with bulgogi french fries, chicken wings, corn cheese, veggie dumplings, and coleslaw! They also offer bulgogi bibimbap and sotteok, featuring savory rice cakes and sausages. Such a perfect shareable with a little bit of everything for everyone to enjoy! They also added some must-try new menu items like the k-chicken sandwich and refreshing cucumber salad. Such a nice change from the usual and definitely worth trying! I'd highly recommend trying this place out :) read more

Why is it that each time I come here, something goes wrong? I honored my cravings for wings and dined in since they had their promotion for 1$ wings. Partner and I did not wait very long and seated shortly. The place was packed and it was understaffed, so service was a miss. There was another party that got their order in, their food came out shortly, but they were seated after us. Partner was starting to get irritated by the delays. We had our order taken and given the lowdown of how ordering works: you're only allowed to order the promotion first. Additional orders for wings means you pay their regular price. 12 pieces was enough to feed us, but they didn't include their big fat drumsticks. Our fries came out after the wings for some reason, and that was a bit of the wait. We didn't even get plates upon seating lol. At least the food was good, but it was chaotic from start to finish. read more

4/25/26 Korean Fried Chicken (Mixed 6 PC: 4Wings + 2 Drums)-- thought I'd give it a try--why the heck not!? Best decision tonight! Cute spot at this plaza in San Gabriel where two of my other favorite shops are located, Old Ferry Donut & Paris Baguette. I was warmly greeted as soon as I walked in and I asked how long would it take if I were to order fried chicken? The friendly young man at the counter quoted 15 minutes. There's indoor dining but most of the orders I saw the time I was waiting were for takeout. The playlist was bumpin'- music you can dance to. The camaraderie between staff was charming and genuine. Parking is free and would probably be challenging during peak hours. In about 7 1/2 minutes my order was up-- that was pretty quick ! Off I went to take it home, excited to try this chicken for the first time! Oh, me oh my! Still warm, crispy, crunchy, slightly sweet and spicy. It was simply delicious, full of flavor, my kind of fried chicken!! I'm glad I requested for the pickled radish. That was the perfect side dish for this fried chicken. Highly likely to return & try other items, I'm eyeing the Japchae. read more

Been meaning to come by to try them out for a while now, I'm glad to have had a chance to eat here today. The vibe is pretty chill, the service was friendly and excellent. I ordered 10 of their $1.00 wing + soda I should have ordered the max of 15 wings, (5 soy garlic and 5 Yangnyeom) both taste good!, I may also order their fries next time. The place has a sports bar kind of vibe and kept clean read more

For our mid-week dinner, we opted for the Korean Fried Chicken weeknight wing special. Our server suggested trying both the soy garlic and the yangnyeom flavors, and neither disappointed. The chicken itself was expertly prepared, maintaining a juicy tenderness beneath an incredibly crisp, crunchy batter. Flavor-wise, the soy garlic hit the right balance of savory notes, while the yangnyeom offered a classic, sweet glaze with a genuine kick of traditional Korean spice. Combined with a lively atmosphere and plenty of TVs to watch the game, it is an ideal spot to hang out with friends read more

Undecided for dinner, came back for their $1 wing special, this is the only thing I'd like tonight. Ordered the Korean sweet corn, did not like it, way too much mayonnaise, that's all I tasted! Also ordered new item that had rice, hotdog, egg, topped with mayonnaise and ketchup, did not like it, the mayonnaise and ketchup did not go well with the other flavors, this was just bad, wasted calories! Regardless of the bad food, we had great customer service, thanks, Jaser! read more

Came here today for lunch...get here when they open...because the tables fill up quickly. Thankfully I got there when they did open. The staff was and is very friendly...to all the customers...the staff was very accommodating and took care of everyone. They are great. They have a great menu and a lunch-special menu...I ordered from the lunch-special menu. I guess the negative...if there is one, this is one of many restaurants that offer chicken with lots of flavors to add and it's expensive. There are sooooo many chicken places offering hot and spicy chicken or Korean fusion or tex-mex...you know what I mean...so many specialty chicken places that for some reason, charge an arm and a leg for a wing and a leg. See what I did there! All that being said, Bonchon's chicken is very good. I'd eat here again. I can get a great meal at El Pollo Loco and spend less...and once in a while spoil myself and spend more to eat here. I hope you understand my review...with tax and tip, just water and lunch special, $20.00. To be fair...it's getting expensive to eat out everywhere even for chicken. In close...come to this location you won't be disappointed. read more

Bonchon San Gabriel - Lunch special: 2 drum sticks and 3 wings with side of pickles. - Korean Near Me - San Gabriel, California

It seems like they're running promotions like $1 wing because they're trying to increase business . I tried to come in and was going to miss last seating. I called to be considerate. They were not willing to seat me and were using that to reject letting me order at promo price. Like I'm willing to tip as if I'm dining in and I'm willing to bounce to let the staff go home. Seems strange to turn away business. EDIT: so instead of internally forwarding the concern, you had me go through a bunch of form replies for a canned response reply from corporate. Smh read more

Recently went to bonchon for the first time after years. It is better than I remember. I ordered online which was super easy and got a combo which was 4 wings, 2 drumsticks, and a side of your choice of cold slaw, rice, or radish. I picked rice and chose soy garlic. Total was $13.99 +0.99 convenience fee and $1.47 tax...didn't realize there was a convenience fee until looking at it now but don't love that. I might've ordered from a third party but I thought it was their website. Food was better than I remember. It was pretty crunchy and tasty exterior, however I remember the interior meat was okay. I think I prefer bbq chicken the chain more, but it is down main street so a bit further for me. Service was great - it was a quick interaction since I just went to pickup but the cashier told me they were doing $1 wings the month of January 2026 (?) for dine in only on weekdays I believe. I would've done that had I known! Didn't experience much ambiance since I got to go but it was chill and not crowded, but I went on a random Wednesday afternoon. I would go again out of convenience, but not my favorite Korean fried chicken spot for sure. read more

I came right when they opened at 11 am and got seated right away. They had a deal for $1/wing, up to 15 pieces. I decided to get the wings with yangneom sauce. The wings had the right amount of crispness to it The crunch was nice and loud. The sauce was more sweet than spicy. Overall I would come here again for the deal. read more

Crispy exterior even when sauced down! I came to Bonchon for dinner on Monday. Unfortunately, I was in a rush and couldn't use their $1/wing April deal but nonetheless, I still ordered a 16-piece wing and drum with soy garlic. The total came out to be $33, phewwww. I think that's a little heavy in price. We were given an estimated wait time of 15 minutes but ended up waiting 30 minutes. We ended up taking in home and everything was still crunchy regardless of it being sauced down. The soy garlic flavor was there but only on the skin. The chicken itself was unfortunately flavorless. You'd have to eat the skin and a big chunk of the chicken so you're not left with no flavor. read more

Had dinner here after a long day in the office. Nothing beats a cold beer and some Korean fried wings! Great timing too, it was $1 wings special. Once we walked in we were greeted and seated shortly. Service is always great here and it's a nice and clean Korean fried chicken spot. I love coming here. My friend even cheated on her gluten free diet just to eat here lol. read more

First time here with my coworkers, and overall it was a great experience. The vibe is super chill and welcoming, making it a perfect spot for a group outing. The staff was incredibly helpful and attentive from the start they walked us through the specials and popular items, which we really appreciated. We decided on the Seoul Sampler, and it was 100% worth it. You get a little bit of everything from their most popular dishes, which made it perfect for sharing. We also ordered wings, plus sides of onion rings and fries. Everything was delicious. The onion rings were especially crispy and flavorful, the street corn, and Bulgogi fries were one of my top favorites so good. The wings were nice and crispy, though the soy garlic sauce was a bit salty for my personal taste. That said, the service really stood out our drinks were refilled before we even had to ask. Great food, great service, and a solid spot I'd definitely come back to. read more

Came in for dinner on a Monday evening with 4 friends. TV was on in the background but we were all having a great time chatting that we didn't even look up. I like that it wasn't too noisy that we couldn't hear each other. The space is always clean. They had a dine in special: $1 wings for up to 15 wings M-W. I ordered all soy garlic, which is my favorite! The chicken was crispy, tasty and tender. The wings came with a side of radishes. We also had a side of japchae-lots of mushrooms, onions and veggies-very tasty and well seasoned. Service was friendly and attentive! Can't wait to come back! read more

Came here for their Monday through Thursday $1 wing special, which is back. We ordered the maximum 15 wings per person, for 2 people, so we got 15 soy garlic and 15 spicy flavored wings. We sat down an hour before closing and they were very attentive. We got our order shortly after ordering and they were all tender, hot and crispy. We also added a side of white rice and pickled radish. Soy garlic and spicy are still our 2 go to flavors. Though the spicy is less spicy than some previous, it's more enjoyable for us. Tonight it was 7/10 spicy; just right. We also got a fountain diet coke which had complimentary refills. Helps with taming the heat from the spicy wings. I also normally order the mapo corn dog and fries, but not tonight as we weren't feeling as hungry. If you haven't tried the mapo corn dog, it's worth a try! All in all, great service. Food was fresh and delicious. Free parking in parking lot. Lots of spaces late at night on weekday. Still highly recommend! read more

So, Yelp says I'm a regular here. Okay. What can I say, if it ain't broke, don't fix it!" And this place is running on all cylinders!! With a stellar Korean menu, with wings that kick every other wings' butt, you can't go wrong. Pickled radishes make them that much better! It's my go to. The vibe here is always lite and chill and yet they have sports on tv's surrounding the place! I have been eating at the bar the last couple times and both times I had great service! Henry and Sarah were great and I look forward to returning to my "regular" wing spot! Make sure you stop by if you're in town! read more

It's very popular in Korea and I first tried it in Boston! Their chicken is very crispy and tasty! I love the double frying, making the chicken really crunchy !

The service is amazing, friendly and food came out really fast. The ambiance is casual, plenty of seating inside and they have plenty of tv at the bar and the regular seating as well! Perfect place to hang out, drink and watch your favorite sports game. They also have a deal going on Every Monday-Thursday All Day $1 wings limited 15 wings per person max . I would definitely comeback here to try other dishes and chicken flavors. read more

Medium 4 drums, 8 wings: The drums are about 3/4 size of the radish bowl and the wings were pretty much half the size of the radish bowl. Side radishes were so crunchy with their bite sized pieces. What makes their wings stand out from the rest is that it's lightly coated with sauce that sticks onto the outer layer of the wings. Side of cole slaw: The cole slaw was pretty light and refreshing. Parking: Apparently, there's valet for their parking lot. Side street parking available. read more

This shop is celebrating a Thankful Thanksgiving Month this November with $1 Korean-style wings (Monday to Wednesday) and $2 beer all day!!! Their wings are big, juicy, and packed with flavor -- definitely not stingy! They've got all the favorites, from Classic Crunch to Soy Garlic to Korean BBQ Spicy. My favorite? The unique Yangnyeom -- spicy with that signature Korean sweetness. And besides wings, they've got a great lineup of modern Korean dishes like kimchi fried rice, bulgogi stir-fry udon, corn dogs, and pork belly buns -- all super filling but not greasy. Perfect combo: wings, good food, cold beer, and catching the game or some in-store fun. Cheers to that! Ig: socalhkfoodies read more

Came here on a Sunday late afternoon. They had a special going on for any of the small sizes of chicken, it's buy one get one free! We ordered a small soy garlic and a split half and half of crunchy classic and yangnyeoum. Super super yummy and crispy chicken! The food came out pretty fast too. We also ordered the bacon kimchi fries and the bao buns. The fries themselves were so flavorful and crispy. There was plenty of cheese and bacon on top too. The bao buns were really good too! The workers here were super friendly and attentive. The ambiance is nice and modern with plenty of seating. They're located in a plaza filled with a lot of popular restaurants so parking can get pretty crowded but definitely worth a visit. read more

I've been coming here for for over 8 years food is wonderful. However today I decided I will never go back. Not sure of the shorter curly haired Latino man's name (not Henry) but he always treats me very strange not friendly. He told me that I could not save seats I got there early to watch a game so I had to get up from the seats I was saving just for myself and my fiancé that ALWAYS GO. We really wanted a seat at the bar just for the game tonight but he said I "couldn't save seats the whole party needs to be present" no problem but then when my "party" arrived, there were 3 seats left at the bar and they were being SAVED by 2 people. I guess they were his friends and the same rule didn't apply. Very unfair and discriminatory. So we left didn't order anything and were pretty upset and will no longer be going back especially if he is working. read more

My brother is a regular at this spot. He invited me to try it tonight after work. He arrived at 9:27 they close at 10pm. The employee (Jay) told him he had to order right away because they closed at 10. My brother said he would be ordering for the both of us and I was about 3 minutes away. The employee told him no, he would not allow me to come in and eat. Still my brother tried to explain he was going to order for the both of us, I would have arrived before the food but the employee said no, he wasnt going to let me in. The restaurant was packed, and it wasnt even 9:30 yet. We didnt end up eating there. I believe the food is good, but the service is clearly crap. No need to try. read more

Stopped by Bonchon while visiting some friends in the SGV area. We ended up ordering a little bit of everything along with a few beers while catching the World Cup matches. The Spicy Wings were definitely my favorite of the day. Crispy, flavorful, and they brought a nice amount of heat without being over the top. The Sotteok was another standout for me. If you've never had it before, it's basically sausage and rice cakes on a skewer with that sweet and savory sauce, and Bonchon does a pretty good version of it. I believe the Korean Street Corn is one of their newer menu items, and I honestly enjoyed it more than I expected. Nice balance of sweet, creamy, and savory flavors. The Soy Garlic Chicken is always a safe choice, and the Kimchi Fried Rice paired well with all the chicken. The Sweet Potato Waffle Fries were also a solid side to throw into the mix. With the World Cup games on every screen, plenty of people watching the matches, and beers flowing all afternoon, it made for a fun and lively atmosphere. read more

How much Korean fried chicken can you eat in a month? Well, the wings, anyway... quite a bit! On the first visit, I had 8, and the second 11... and both times enjoyed their Soy Garlic and Yangneom sauces. Outside of the easy parking... (If you're always unlucky like me where there are never spots when you are looking but there are when you aren't... there's ample street parking around the block.) the staff here are super friendly, attentive, and prompt. After ordering, the wings were out within 5-10 minutes - freshly made. What makes Bonchon distinct from other spots is that the wings somehow ALWAYS have the perfect amount of sauce. None were overflavored. At all times that I visited, the chicken wings were also flavorful and moist - not a single piece dry! (If you like your wings drowning in sauce, though, this might not be the spot for you... or consider communicating that ahead of your order!) read more

However, this time, we chose the boneless chicken and we thought they would be bigger, but they are nugget sized... The japchae was good. The chicken had good coating flavor but it was a bit dry. I would recommend not getting the boneless chicken unless you are craving chicken nuggets. read more

$1 wings Monday to Friday right now starting June 4, 2025. Dips for wings are 99¢ each. Up to 15 wings per person. Up to 2 flavors. The wing order has to be put it at once, it'll be your first and last order of the $ wings. As I understood it. But please reconfirm this. They also said it's happy hour all day at $5. Looks like that's their regular price. Spicy level they say is a 7 out of 10 In heat. I can confirm this but it's a nice heat t It was pretty lively in here since they came up with the $1 wing promotion. It was pretty dead before this. They've expanded the $1 wings from Mon-Wed to Mon-Fri and closing later too. The strategy WORKS. Place is bright and has 4 TVS on sports channels. Service was slow but they were nice and kinda slammed so I get it. read more

We have been here a few times and took advantage of the special.. 15 wings for $15 for customers who are 10 years or older. Contact them to find out the hours for the special price since it varies from month to month. Plan your visit around the special hours and you won't regret it!! The wings are so yummy!!! We enjoyed the soy garlic and the Classic wings. (If there are leftovers, heating them up in an air fryer is great.) The sides we ordered and enjoyed are Sweet Potato Waffle Fries, Pickled Radish, and Kimchi. The Korean Cucumber Salad is very pricy for the quantity served. Parking is challenging since the restaurant is located in a very popular strip mall. read more

Very Good place I was surprised to see one in SG, I just had to visit . I visited Bonchon in northern Cali it was so good and I searched for one closer to my home I'm glad I found one.

Came by the other day with some coworkers after seeing they had a $1 wing special (dine-in only). Bonchon is known for their Korean Fried Chicken, and they definitely deliver on that crispy goodness. I went with the Yangnyeom and Soy Garlic sauces both packed with flavor a-little bit on the sweet side but that's how it's suppose to be. I also tried their chicken sandwich with fries and was pleasantly surprised. The sandwich was juicy and flavorful not dry at all. The shop is on the smaller side, so there might be a wait depending on when you go. But overall, when I'm craving KFC in the SGV, this spot is high on the list! read more

I had BonChon many times in Thailand but this is the first time in USA and everything was different. This place has a local and cozy vibe. The server was very friendly and the food was more well-rounded than just fried chickens. The fried chicken was nice still, and worth ordering. The coating was thin and flaky. Inside was very juicy. I went when they had $1 wings promotion and I think it's still ongoing. This promotion made it really worth it. The pickled radish goes better than the coleslaw as a side to me. The bibimbap was very good too and it's priced by which protein you pick. The Korean corn and corn dog didn't stand out to me, but I think the food overall still deserve 5 stars. read more

Dropped by Bonchon with my brother for a late dinner, and it definitely hit the spot. We started with the bulgogi fries--perfect portion to share, and the sauce was on point. Only thing we wished for was a little more bulgogi on top. For the main event, we ordered the medium combo (8 wings and 4 drumsticks) with soy garlic and spicy flavors. Both were insanely good. You could tell they took the time to hand-brush the sauce on each piece--the chicken was fully coated, super crispy, and addicting. Every bite had us going back for more. We added pickled radish on the side, which was a smart move--it helped refresh our palate between the two bold flavors. For drinks, we tried the Terra beer from Korea, and it paired perfectly with the fried chicken. One last thing worth mentioning--they squeezed us in 30 minutes before closing on a Sunday night. Total MVPs for that. Honestly, one of the best spots for fried chicken in the SGV. We'll definitely be back. read more

We decided to dine in and finally try this place out. Food was great; however, the options on the combos to feed groups are not that great. We were told we could only order 1 flavor so that was a bummer as we have been wanting to try this place out for such a long time now and I pumped myself up super hard before we got here. Chicken was cripsy and it was very good; however, I was super bummed because we could not get other flavors. I would like to come back to give this place another go, but I don't think I would go out of my way to come back. The food is good, but you can find tons of Asian spots that have similar chicken and you can mix and match flavors. Southern California is huge and there's so many restaurants, but I do think you should check it out for yourself so you can see if it's something you love. Staff was okay. We weren't greeted, we were just told there's a long wait time and they would text us when there's a table. When we finally got a table, a lot of the tables had already cleared out and there were a few people dining in. The restaurant is clean, the restroom is clean, but the parking is out of control. I don't know how it is during the week, but we happened to come during the weekend and we literally had to drive around the parking lot a few times. read more
