    We had a great time and enjoyed wonderful Korean food. Also, our server Nate was excellent in helping us with the food choices since it was the first time. We would definitely repeat.

    Lunch 8 pc Wings special with side of Kimchi
    Josh M.

    I've been to many Bonchon on my travels and this is a solid branch. When I stopped by for lunch, the waitstaff consisted of one with four tables of diners. I was a bit concerned about the turn around, but my order was taken promptly and the kitchen turned it around quickly. Everything was cooked well and I thoroughly enjoyed my choices. I came for the Korean fried wings, but the parmesan crusted fries were delightful crispy, and my side of kimchi was enough to bring some home.

    Tteokbokki with unmelted cheese

    Service is pretty slow although the restaurant is almost empty. Food was terrible. Boneless chicken was salty. I recommend go to BBQ chicken if u like Korean chicken. Teokbokki, I could only taste some spicy and nothing else and came out with unmelted cheese. And took long time to cook. I got it when my coworkers are almost finished their food. $6-7 frozen instant Teokbokki we can buy at Korean grocery will be more delicious and can cook quickly. With one pepsi refill, automatic 20% gravity was applied on the bill. (We were 7 ppl but nothing was cared except one refill at the last minute) Conclusion, I won't go there again.

    Tofu bulgogi. Good food but poor service.

    Dine-in Lunch for 4 on Sunday, 11/10/2024 Good food Poor service They need to hire more staff. There was one man manning the whole floor. He served as greeter, bar tender, food runner, and cashier. I saw a lot of customers come in and leave because they were standing by the door for a long time without being greeted. This is not the one employee's fault. He was doing 4 people's jobs. Note: You must go to the guy to give your order. Do not wait for him to go to your table. They were out of udon. It would help if their menu indicated this. Food was good. However, it took a long time for our food to be served. Perhaps they need more kitchen staff, too. Also, the pacing was wrong. We were given the main dishes first before the appetizers. The rice that came with the main dish was served last when we were halfway through with the main dish. Food was good but we would not go back.

    Bulgogi Fries and Soy Garlic Chicken Strips

    Discovered this place a few years back because I heard Korean chicken was the best, and I can agree! It's not oily at all and has a great crunch still. We love getting the strips for convenience. I typically do half and half, but sometimes the spicy gets too spicy sometimes for us. We love that it comes with a side dish of your choice, such as coleslaw or pickled radish! I've only chosen pickled radish, so I'm not sure how the coleslaw is. I wish they did still have the sweet chili sauce, but sadly it was limited time only. Hopefully it comes back as a permanent one! We love the bulgogi fries too! Even though it wasn't super crispy (just our preference but also we got it as a to-go order), we still loved it so much! We would definitely get it again. A great amount of bulgogi too! Only downside was the price, but I saw it's worth it on occasion. Overall, service was great. They are always so kind and quick with getting everything prepared. 10/10.

    Ordered online and paid $50 for these tiny boneless chicken. Called and was told they couldn't give me a refund but would offer a 50% discount on wings next time. I mean look at the quantity too.

    Soy garlic chicken wings.
    Jennifer D.

    We've been ordering the same thing from different bonchon locations coz we love the soy garlic chicken wings but this location doesn't taste good. Chicken and the sauce ratio is not good. I went back to ask if it's soy garlic flavor coz it doesn't taste the same. The texture was soggy too. The person was good though

    Drumsticks
    Jaclyn W.

    Wow wow wow. Let me tell you this place was delicious! My fiancé and I came here after seeing many good reviews on TikTok. We ordered 10 drumsticks. Five of them were soy garlic and five of them were hot. They come with complementary pickled radishes. OK this place is kind of pricey. I paid like almost $30 with tax for 10 drumsticks. But, the flavor was outstanding. The soy garlic was so delicious and tasty, it was a flavor I have not seen many places. The chicken was extremely crispy and crunchy, but juicy inside. My fiancé was obsessed with the spicy flavor. 1000% recommend!

    Seasoned fries

    I'm loving the mainstream abundance of Korean Fried Chicken these days. There was a time when you couldn't find a halfway decent KFC spot in Chicago, let alone a suburb like Schaumburg. Then, when Bonchon first arrived in Chicago they only had the Chinatown location. Back then, I was ecstatic to find out I could get it delivered from Chinatown to my office via Chowbus. Now, not only is Bonchon in the area, but there are also multiple options to choose from with bb.q Chicken and Kogii Kogii also nearby. I'm merely minutes away from some delicious Korean fried chicken whenever I get the crave. There's just something about Korean chicken wings that put them on another level for me. They just have that awesome crunch from the thin outer shell but it's somehow super light and not at all greasy. That cornstarch and double frying really creates an amazing texture. The skin isn't heavily breaded or battered, and is very thin while at the same time they somehow achieve a light airiness between the skin and the meat that seemed to highlight the juiciness of the chicken. The flavor isn't generated from some heavy sauce that is tossed on the wing, but rather seems to just be baked right into the wing itself. Our go-to order is the half and half wings. The wings actually contain a mix of drumettes and wingettes and the "drums" listed on their menu are literally the full size drumsticks, so don't order the combo if you were expecting drumettes instead. Half and half consists of both the hot & spicy and soy garlic flavors. The hot and spicy definitely had a kick to it, but it's not that painful type of spicy. It was that flavorful type of savory spice that keeps you wanting more even though you're building up a sweat from eating it. The soy garlic was on the milder side from both a heat and flavor intensity perspective, but it had the nice balance of sweet and savory. For the sides we got the seasoned fries and the kimchi bacon fried rice. I was pretty surprised by how good the fries were. The fries were battered and seasoned, and came out hot and crispy. The kimchi fried rice was super moist and had a nice spicy umami flavor to it. The kimchi mixed in added a crunchy texture to the bite and the bacon provided some smokiness. It was just missing a fried egg on top, which would've completed the dish. Overall, I think Bonchon is best Korean wing in the area. It's easy to doubt a chain restaurant, but it's just consistently delicious.

    This place was an AWSOME experience! Loved the food and drink!!! Will go again!! The place was very well put together and clean!! The servers are very fast in putting your Order in!!

There's a little bit of a wait, but I get that. Also want to give a shoutout to the solid, ventilated takeout boxes. They don't get soggy, and they keep the crunch of the chicken on the drive back home! Ambiance: I can't speak to that because my husband went to pick up our food from this location, but as for the new HMart location, it's what one would expect from a food court situation except newer and shinier. (be forewarned that seating is somewhat limited in that HMart, especially if you go on a weekend.) Price: Prices are what they are these days, and while it feels a bit pricy for wings, it's definitely comparable to BWW/any other local dive. Plus, the wings are BIG. Overall, my husband has gone to get chicken from bb.q Chicken (which stands for "best of the best quality" chicken, he was told!) twice within 2 weeks, so I think that speaks for itself. Go and enjoy!

My understanding is that the original was NOT spicy. But when I went home to eat it, half was spicy, half was not. Granted, they gave me six pieces instead of four, so kudos for giving me extra chicken. Unfortunately, the golden original was rather bland. They don't brine their chicken, so if you're eating here, select one of their flavored options. On top of that, it took 20 minutes for my order to be ready. So not exactly an ideal place if you are in a time crunch. The staff was at least very friendly. I signed up for the rewards program, but couldn't figure out how to add the points from my order to the rewards app. I asked the staff for help. They couldn't figure it out either.
