Ordered 30 wings for "girl's night" (15 bbq + 15 soy garlic), they were a hit! I think my fav flavor is the soy garlic. While ordering over the phone, I didn't know how many I should order but the person on the phone recommended the right amount. He gave two options: order 30 pieces if it's the main protein and 20 if it's not. I also got a side of coleslaw; their coleslaw is too sweet for my liking so I will not be ordering that again. read more

We had an all day training and didnt have much room for a leisurely lunch so the coworkers and I ordered from here. Ive been wanting to try this place too. I didnt want to eat heavy so ordered two appetizers. Bulgogi bao buns and sotteok sotteok (rice cakes and hotdogs). This turned out to be just enough from standpoint of food and price. The rice cakes were good skewers rice cakes alternating with sausage. Warning. The spicy level is up there if your not used to it. The bao buns were pretty good too. But $27 was little steep for lunch. read more

I had an appt today and stopped by to grab some lunch today. I brought the Korean chicken tacos. I brought three Korean fried chicken drumsticks and some French fries as well. Everything tasted yummy and very well cooked/seasoned. The restruant was clean and well organized. There are tvs to watch sports while you wait. I recommend this place for Korean tacos and Korean fried chicken. read more

Finally got to try, the chicken was tough like it had been fried several times - like for reheating purposes. The meat was dry and leathery. They absolutely do not make the chicken fresh but your wait time is as if they do. read more

Came by on a Saturday night craving chicken wings and fries. I ordered the 10-piece chicken wings only and 20 pieces tenders, and to my surprise, I didn't actually receive wings... it was a mix of drumettes and wings, which was really disappointing. The chicken itself tasted a bit fatty, although I'll give credit that the batter was nice and crunchy. However the tender was really dry... Service was incredibly slow, it was hard to flag down the servers even though there were only two tables including us. Overall, I was very disappointed. I love Bonchon, but unfortunately this location just did not hit. read more

Finally decided to try Bonchon for the 1st time. Wish they have more flavors in general. The service here is great. We ordered the Seoul Sampler which came with 2 drums, 4 wings, Bulgogi Fries, Pork Potstickers, Korean Street Corn and Coleslaw and ranch for dipping sauce. Got the Soy Garlic sause for the chicken. Everything was good, but the chickens were a little over cooked!!! Steamed Shrimp Dumplings were okay came with spicy mayo, which didn't taste like it. Pickle Radish could use a lot more vinegar. Overall I give this a 3.5 stars and round it up to 4!!! read more

Me & my sister went their yesterday to give them a try. I've seen many times & the food pictures looks delicious. We got the chicken wings, double fried with Korean BBQ sauce, so delicious, seasoned fries and the Korean donuts are soooo good. Now I'm going to have cravings for BonChon. So much so we went again this afternoon. Got it to go with everything just right. read more

Literally my first one start review ever. Long-story-short. In no less than 5 occasions I've ordered online, and submitted the payment. A few minutes after I get a notification that my order was cancelled and refunded. When I arrived at the restaurant, I had to pay again (one time I actually had to drive back home to get my credit card). I asked them (every time) why this keeps happening and they say that the "system is doing that" and that they can't do anything to fix it. Not believable. I'm a tech guy. Of course whatever record, db, etc. can be updated with the right info or whatever needs to be done. Today (08/29/26), it happened again. I got a call from the restaurant and told them how displeased I was and ask them one more time to fix whatever it is that's causing this recurring issue. Instead? I got an automated "Bonchon - We want to hear from you!" read more

Spotted this place, next to UPS, and decided to check it out spur of the moment. Ordered Pork Belly Buns and Katsu Chicken. Overall it wasn't terrible and I might give them another try if I happen to be nearby. The katsu was crispy (even after driving 20 minutes), slightly dry from overcooking but the taste was fine. The coleslaw it vomewas sweet and tangy and crisp. The rice is plain white. The real disappointment was the pork belly buns. The buns were soft and tasty, the cucumbers crisp and the sauce was ok, more Americanized than Korean. The pork belly was incredibly tough and dry. I love pork belly and I only tried 2 before I gave up. I don't know if it was the way it was sliced or if it was undercooked but I've never had tough belly before. read more

Watching Korean series can influence your food craving. Today was Korean fried chicken. Getting food delivery can be hazardous to your health as well. Without getting up from your lounge chair you can order food just like at some theaters. I had ordered the ten piece chicken wings with Korean bbq and soy garlic flavors; and Korean donut and sauce. The food was prepared and delivered sooner than specified. It was crispy and warm. The chicken was nicely package and labelled well indicating the flavoring. Although I had enjoyed the crispiness, I couldn't taste the difference between the two. There were a couple of drumlettes included on one side that threw me into a loop as I was expecting wings only. Nonetheless they were enjoyable. Finally, the dessert, Korean donut that intrigued me enough to ordered it. Essentially, an elongated twisted donut with sugar and cinnamon. Dipped in the sauce, I can't say that I enjoyed it with or without it better. Most importantly, I couldn't determined the what made it Korean. I like donuts and in this case, I like this one as well. I would try other flavored chicken and dishes here in the future. read more

We had plenty of soy garlic and spicy dark meat from here over the weekend. The chicken was a bit overfried as the meat was shriveled and revealed the bones a bit. Taste and flavor are good, just would like my chicken less well done. I did enjoy their bulgogi fries quite a bit. Overall, if you are craving fried chicken, this is a satisfactory place. read more

I stopped by Bonchon to try their chicken sandwich with the soy garlic flavor. It looked promising, crispy thigh, shiny sauce, soft bun, but the bite didn't quite live up to the look. The chicken was a bit overcooked, so it lost that juicy pull you want when you bite into fried dark meat. It's basically a fried chicken thigh on a brioche bun with coleslaw and sauce. Simple setup. The issue is in the build, mine was wrapped so the meat was hanging out the front, and once you unwrap it, the back half was all bun. You gotta push the chicken forward yourself just to balance it out. The flavor was okay, sweet, garlicky, that signature Korean-style double fry that keeps it crisp, but overall it didn't hit that "wow" factor. It's decent for what it is, but nothing that makes you crave another round. If you come here, the wings are probably the real play. That's where Bonchon earns its name. The sandwich? Crunchy, yes. Memorable? Not really. read more

Something was off. I've been to other Bonchon locations, and this one was not it. It didn't taste right. It was lacking the flavors I greatly antifipated from Bochon. I also ordered wings and they gave us combo (wings and drums). The servers seemed young, but were nice and helpful. A little disappointing with our food here. read more

This has to be the best chicken ever!!! And the staff is so nice too. Would reccomend

This place is a must if you love fried chicken. I always order the soy garlic wings. The chicken is plump, the skin is crunchy, and the sauce is so flavorful. I've never dined in, but the customer service for take-out is great. Usually, my order is cooked to my liking, but recently, some of my wings were a bit overcooked, and the manager was very nice and accommodating. I was given another order right away. read more

I'm glad I read the reviews AFTER I ordered because my food was really good! The only critique was that the soy garlic was a little salty but other than that it was great. The yangnyeom sauce was our favorite because it has a nice blend of spicy to sweet. The flavors hit and tbh we didnt really need the dipping sauce we ordered as a side and that's saying a lot. Even after the long distance it traveled via doordash the food was hot and fresh. We got the: soy garlic 4/5 stars yangnyeom 4.5/5 stars seasoned fried zucchini 3.5/5 because it was pretty thin but good with the spicy mayo. sorry no pics but we dove in right when we got it delivered haha. read more

My infatuation for chicken wings started with Bonchon. I blame Bonchon for this addiction. And because of it, I got standards. Friends, if you're new to KorAm foods, here's a good rule of thumbs: Crispy chicken wings a must. Tossed with sauce. Yaaazzz! Half and half. Japchae = a requirement. Tteokbokki = comfort food. read more

Not to happy with my experience, I've heard a lot about this place, expected more , but after trying it..I probably won't be going again. I placed an order for me and my family. Other food was good, but the chicken tenders seem like they were sitting under a light too long, or maybe done like 2 days prior. The service was fast. Placed an order online; and then got a call right away from the restaurant, stating that I will see two chargers on my card. And one will be refunded a couple of days later. For one that is inconvenient. How was my $60 meal, turn to $120? I got charged by the ordering app: then again at the restaurant? What if it was my last $60? They need to take that off. Seems shady. I'll be on the look out for a refund forsure, The place seemed chill. read more

Most inconsistent bonchon location in bay area. Unfortunately this is the closest bonchon when we are craving it. The wings are always hit or miss -- usually overly fried and dry. The sides are really bad. The radish is often soggy and tastes off. The coleslaw is sometimes old looking... Laziness to not make their coleslaw on a daily basis -- look at how brown it is! The location is in the sketchier part of san leandro. There is plenty of parking but you will see homeless around. read more

I find their fried chicken just way too big but I just like eating them w the combination of coleslaw, pickled raddish and carrots. So I only eat 1 pc of chicken. I liked their spicy one and garlic soy sauce. My husband likes the sweet one. The service is fast and good though I always ordered takeout. I have always gone in this branch and twice in South SF on Westborough Avenue. read more

Picked up a side of pickled radish only to go with a meal we made at home, and both me and my partner took a bite and immediately spit it out. It tasted like rancid coconut, not pickled radish. This went bad, or was made incorrectly, but either way it was NOT edible. This location continues to strike out for us, as long time Bonchon lovers. read more

Only rating Soy Garlic Wings Our go-to for KFC is Bonchon. Their wings are pretty meaty and always fried to perfection. And the soy garlic is finger licking good! We came w some friends and order the Large (30) soy garlic wings, fries, onion rings, and fried zucchini. All the fried goodies. All were good sides for our chicken. We've tired other stuff before but they weren't really good. So 5 stars for the chicken. Minus 1 star for all the other menu items I would not order again from previous visits. Service was good. Restaurant was clean and hip. read more

Delivery review. My sister decided on some bonchon chicken. She ordered half soy garlic and half spicy. As well as an order of soy garlic chicken strips. Food arrived promptly and well packaged. I'm not a coleslaw person but I do like me some pickled daikon which both items came with the order. Fulfilled our Korean chicken wing cravings for sure. read more

$18.00 for chicken fried rice and 3 cucumbers nothing else to say absolutely not worth it

Bonchon in my opinion is a great last resort kind of meal. The chicken is always cooked perfectly which I got the soy garlic and the Japchae is flavorful. When eating this meal you don't feel overly stuffed and it fills you up just right. The service was very quick and friendly with no long so I got seated right away. I recommend Bonchon if you are looking for a flavorful meal that is reasonably priced. read more

High prices but gosh darn the wings are good. The texture and the flavor of the soy garlic drums were phenomenal. The tenders were more like tiny nuggets. Plain fries were truly plain. Kimchi was good, and the fried rice was good. My girlfriend ordered the cheese dog. It was pretty soggy and had a tad too much sauce on it. I think we spent about $60 getting the wing combo, the dog, and the kimchi. The drums were the star of the show. The ambiance was fairly fast food esc since we got our food to go. Service was quick, our order was ready when we got there. read more

Craving Korean Fried chicken so came here for some marinated crunchy wings and drumsticks aka Half & Half Combo. We shared the Bibimbap and Japchae and an order of bulgogi and a bowl of white rice. They have a Tv on every wall so multiple sports can be shown. Friendly service unlimited Diet Coke. Place was quiet enough to carry on a conversation without shouting. read more

I really like Bonchon and Korean fried chicken in general. The service was fine, responsive and prompt, not sure if I just got unlucky both times or if there's issues in the kitchen. For $50+, this was incredibly disappointing, plus the radish side is so small and unpickled for $3. I've given this location two tries and was disappointed both times. The first time the food was alright but they forgot my pickled radishes after making me wait nearly an hour (found out something caused them to not receive my order). Today, the radishes tasted barely pickled, the chicken was dry, the sauces (soy garlic and yangnyeom) tasted like they were poorly mixed and barely on the chicken. The bao was nice and chewy, but the inside tasted bland and pickled at the same time. Personally will not return to this location. read more

Great food and service! We arrived after 6 pm on a Thursday afternoon and got a table immediately. The server was attentive and gave suggestions on the menu. He also asked us what we thought of the limited time flavor we ordered, which was nice. We got half wings half drums and split the flavors. The spicy one is our favorite! The crisp on the skin is delicious and the meat is so juicy! The bulgogi tacos were good too. We recommend dining in if you want to get the best chicken experience. We usually order to go and the skin is less crispy when eating at home. read more

I am not a fan when it comes to sea food but if this restaurant does something amazing is their fries!!

Soy garlic Korean fried chicken at its finest. Wish there was a closer location but this is it since the Berkeley Bonchon closed. I like the combo lunch special which offers 2 drumsticks and 4 wings. Crispy and very flavorful. I wish the radish was a little more pickled though. Will be back when I'm in the area. read more

I use to love Bonchon but the wings are completely different now. I typically order 20 piece - 10 spicy and 10 soy garlic. I usually get my order to go as the rice here sucks and I rather eat my wings with my own rice. Service is ok as their is always someone standing at the register to hand out orders. read more

Tried your restaurant for the first time today and overall I would say it's really good food. Totally enjoyed the spiciness of the fried chicken. The kimchi was also pretty tasty (I've had better but i've also had worse). If I were to complain about anything, it would be the fried zucchini. And all I would suggest doing is doubling the thickness of the slices, so the zucchini is not as mushy after it is fried. Otherwise, it was a good experience and I'm certain I'll go back again. read more
