    It had been a long time since my last visit, and unfortunately, the experience wasn't what it used to be. For a weekend lunch, there was only one staff member working the entire floor. Because they were clearly understaffed, I was asked to sit at a different table while the waiter--who was very polite despite the stress--cleared up after a large party from an hour prior. We ordered the sampler. The food was just okay, but the Soy Garlic wings were quite salty (perhaps they're meant to be paired with a beer?). The most disappointing part was the restroom, which was dirty and clearly hadn't been checked in a while--another side effect of not having enough help. Overall, between the service hurdles and the food quality, I likely won't be coming back.

    I don't know why folks have reviewed this place so low. I've been coming here for 9 years straight. It's funny I've never reviewed them before but no more delay! They deserve a shout out! Food: is finger licking good and very very flavorful! They have a range of dishes to cater to both vegetarian and non vegetarian palates! Good spice range as per your tolerance! We love their drumsticks and wings, loaded fries and tacos and everything on the menu really! Over the decade, we've managed to have almost everything off of their menu and not once have been disappointed! That's got to mean something and that's why we keep coming back! :) Service: We were yet again served by gracious Connor. Service is great! No complaints at all. Always patience with kids at the table, ready to answer questions on menu especially on newly introduced items! Thank you! Sarah was great too - was happy to correct the spice on one of our dishes that kids had ordered. Thank you! Ambience: sports bar kinda vibes & chatty and good floor plan! Restroom:clean and kept well always! Parking: big lot so never been an issue! Very very open and available any time of the day! All in all, highly recommend! Will always come back and still have the same good things to say about them! Consistency is such a gem of a thing to find among restaurants and they are one of the few ones! :) So thank you!

    Half and half spicy and soy sauce

    Thought I'd give Bonchon another chance after hearing that there was a change in ownership. It's unfortunate that the new owners didn't take advantage of the chance to improve and potentially gain some business. We ordered half original classic crunch and half spicy. Only halfway through eating the wings did we realize that the spicy wasn't spicy. It turns out that our server got our order wrong and we got the soy garlic. After the server took our tray and walked around here and there and bringing it back to the kitchen, they returned with our half eaten wings with the addition of some of the spicy sauce, saying that they couldn't correct our order because it was mostly eaten. The way she conveyed this message made it seem as if we were trying to gain extra wings by eating them and then returning the wings to be corrected. This was absolutely not our intention and just really wanted the spicy sauce. Maybe it was a good thing we were given the soy garlic wings because the spicy sauce tasted terrible. I'm pretty sure it is premade sauce watered down. The first thing that came to mind is MSG. Some of the wings were hot , some of them were lukewarm. The breading was mediocre. These wings weren't the worst I've had but I can't recommend Bonchon to Korean friends. If you haven't had K.F.C. before, it might be fine. The sodduk sodduk was good and the servers were friendly enough. One last thing - there was still 30 minutes to closing and they put a bunch of chairs up onto a table - not very appealing. They should wait until everyone leaves and they actually close.

    Unfortunately, I wouldn't recommend this place if you are looking for delicious juicy fried chicken. Perhaps it was because I got this food delivered but my chicken was very dry and overcooked. The Soy Garlic and the Spicy Chicken both tasted pretty similar. Next time, I hope it will be better. The fried rice was delicious! The Kimchi was flavorful! And a PSA to anyone ordering, the chicken drumsticks are much meatier than the wings here! Soy Garlic Chicken: 6/10 Spicy Chicken Wings: 5/10 Kimchi: 8/10 Fried Rice: 9/10

    Newly discovered Korean fried chicken place .. it was amazinggggg!!!! I had chicken wings for two back to back days from here.. I tried three flavors and all were great. The second day I ended up ordering some drums too which were a hit with my kid.. we got the soy garlic, the Korean BBQ and Yangnyeom. There is a subtle difference between all three of them so I honestly didn't know which was which while eating them but can honestly say that ALL of them tasted incredible. The lady who prepped my order was incredibly sweet and really helped me get my order ready. She even helped me get the right sauce as well as clean it up when it got messy. I know I am gonna be ordering from here soon over and over again!

    I ordered a 20 pc strips .... Wtf is this trash
    Melissa A.

    Extremely upset. I ordered 20 pcs strip and other items and they gave me this trash. I don't live near by so yea thanks. I'd like a refund . Update - they assumed I ate this to get my money back and I unfortunately did not. But thank you for this disrespectful comment and no help. Keep your free 10 chicken fingers and I'll never spend another dollar here.

    Italian breadcrumbs on fried zucchini
    Lorianne L.

    A few more visits since my last update, so adding new information for you. I noticed they got new menus during the summer. On one visit, in addition to our regular orders, we tried their japchae. Another time, we ordered the fried zucchini. Granted, they were nice big pieces of zucchini, but they seemed like they were better suited for an Italian restaurant. The seasoning was typical Italian breadcrumbs. I guess as long as you know that's what you're getting, they are fine. Garlic soy wings, rice, & fries continue to be our go to favorites.

    The booths are definitely the best. Can't definitely say for sure, but most restaurants are divided into sections and each server is responsible for his/her section (which could include tables & booths). My guess is it's just luck of the draw how…

The Asian-French fusion menu is creative, the dishes are nicely presented, and we've generally enjoyed our meals. My biggest issue is simply figuring out when the restaurant is actually open. The hours seem to change or feel very inconsistent, and there have been several times when we've thought about going but weren't sure whether they were open. For a neighborhood restaurant so close to home, I wish the schedule were more predictable. The location is also a little unusual. It's tucked into a shopping center and can be easy to overlook if you don't know it's there. On the plus side, there is plenty of parking, which is always convenient. Overall, the food is definitely the reason to come here, and we've had good experiences once we're actually inside. I just wish the hours were more consistent and reliable because we would probably dine here much more often. Also, the dessert is expensive and not very good, something I think they could improve on.

I ordered the duck for breakfast and they substituted with pork. I ordered the halibut for dinner and they substituted for cod and charged me for a salmon...They were also already out of the short rib and one other entree on a Saturday early dinner service around 5 pm. Not sure what is going on here that they are running out of proteins so early in the weekend. The food for brunch and dinner are both good, a little pricey. We started with the deviled eggs. I ordered the halibut that was substituted with a cod served over forbidden rice and a side of broccoli. The fish was cooked well and the vegetables were also cooked perfectly, very buttery and delicious. My husband ordered the scallop risotto that was also cooked perfectly. Comes with three hefty scallops. Risotto was also a perfect cook. Come back for the atmosphere, maybe grab a nice latte or coffee beverage, but not sure we'll be back for a substantial meal.

Pho sounded weird with thick noodles, but maybe I need to try that next time. Recommend avoiding the grilled pork and egg roll vermicelli dish.

We came for a casual weekday lunch to celebrate our 22nd anniversary after spending the whole morning at a day spa. We sat outside and enjoyed a little bit of everything. The blackened hamachi tataki was refreshing and perfect for a summer lunch. Their take on steak and eggs, deviled eggs topped with Wagyu, is so simple but packs a punch. The Korean fried chicken was crunchy with a tangy sauce and great for sharing. And of course, we had to get the BBB, which is always a must for us! After all that, we shared the cheesesteak sandwich and I honestly thought I was going to tap out, but it wasn't heavy at all. It was so good that we finished the whole thing. Somehow, we even had room for Beth's hand pie, a delicious peach compote that tasted like a churro and peach pie had a baby. The cocktails were also a highlight. I had the Coco Julius, which is dangerously good because it's so smooth, fruity, and refreshing with orange and pineapple. Hubby had the La Ola with strawberries and hibiscus. Another great meal at OCK!
