Fried chicken

I really like this place, but this is the second time I've received food like this. Based on my cooking experience, the black color suggests the food was fried in old oil that had been reused too many times. I didn't feel comfortable eating it because it can be unhealthy. I wasn't planning to leave a review, but I think it's important to mention this for the sake of other customers. I hope the restaurant improves this issue.

Fried Shrimp Shumai (x8 pieces)
Linh N.

Final Thoughts: 4.47/5 We've been to Bon Chon lots of times now. This is my first time coming to this specific location though. Apparently this is their first location, but no one quote me on that. Simple lunch/dinner meal. Overall, good experience from beginning to end. Food: Mixed 6 Wings and 3 Drumsticks: 4.5/5 Personal preference for me is the combination of drumsticks and wings, so you get a little bit of everything. These flavors are also a fave for me. We got half yangnyeom and half soy garlic today. The yangnyeom sauce is one of their newer flavors that I've tried. Similar to soy garlic, but with a Korean sweet and spicy kick. Quite umami; nice balance of sweet, salty, and spicy. For the garlic soy, this is always a solid option for me since it is one of the original flavors. The flavor is like a teriyaki sauce. Sweet sticky soy sauce with the flavor of garlic mixed in. That combined with the crispy chicken is really good. My one note though is that I don't think the chicken itself is seasoned enough before frying. This means that all of the flavor is on the outside skin. Once you get to the actual meat of the chicken, there's not much flavor on it at all. Perhaps this is where some additional dipping sauces will help. It's not too big of a concern because the coating of sauce on the outside does a really nice job with adding flavor, but it was just something that I've consistently observed. The chicken is also very crispy. My friend mentioned that the batter and outside crust seems to be thicker. Small note, but something I do appreciate is that they specifically label which sauce is which with a little toothpick "flag". This is genuinely what I need because I can usually never tell which items are which when given to me all at once or on the same plate. Fried Shrimp Shumai: 4.0/5 Simple appetizer item for us. They give you the option for steamed or fried and we went with the fried option today for that crisp. Quite nice presentation. The dumplings are placed on a bed of shredded cabbage with spicy mayo and soy garlic sauce. The flavors work quite nicely together. Perhaps the shrimp was too finely chopped because there wasn't really a bite or crunch to any big pieces of shrimp. That or the dumplings were too small to have those bigger pieces be filled inside. The sauces were nice. Spicy mayo was very light. Just a slight kick to it. Soy garlic was flavor was also very light and contributes nicely as a sauce. For texture, I like the different components. The cabbage added some crunch and a little freshness to it that we could eat with the dumplings. The shumai was also very crispy and it wasn't hard or dry. Coleslaw: 2.9/5 This is one of their complimentary sides. This or the pickled radish. Personally, I like the radish for that tartness and crunch. We did go with coleslaw today. It wasn't bad. I'm just not too fond of the excess liquid that pools. Flavor gave the meal some freshness. The veggies added another texture component too. --------- Quality: Aight They quality is alright. When the chicken and shumai came out, both items were not piping hot like they just came out of the frier. It felt more as if it came from out of the food warmer. Perhaps I would be more alright with this and can pass this off if the place were packed and very busy, but it wasn't at the time that we went. Usually the chicken would be hot to touch, but it wasn't and that goes the same for the shumai. Not that I would want to burn my tongue, but temperature does affect quality for me. Price: Depends; could lean both ways It'll depend on what you get. Again, this was a simple lunch/dinner meal, so we really didn't eat that much. For the three of us, it was $39 total including tax and tip. If you do decide to get other or more items, it might end up leaning on the more expensive side. Service: Pleasant Our waitress was very sweet and cute. We were able to sit where we liked perhaps because it wasn't super busy at the time. She refilled our waters, got our food items out as they were done, and checked on us. Ambiance: Late night adventure vibes Typical little fried chicken restaurant. This is honestly the scene that I imagine for a late night adventure. Dim interior, quite spacious, and just enough tables to fill the space with optimal room to walk between the tables and seats. I like their choice of music because they were playing BTS. Anything with BTS shall always be my preference. Location/Parking: Spacious It's located inside of a plaza and right at the corner of the top right corner of the side when you're looking from the street inward. There are some other restaurants and shop in this plaza and the plaza across too. Parking was not an issue on a Sunday before Labor Day and at midafternoon time. I'm not sure if the holidays affected this, but there are many spaces left in this parking lot when we got there. We definitely don't go here often enough to judge, but perhaps it'll depend on the time and day though.

Wings
Erick L.

Had a large order of the Soy Garlic Wings to snack on with the family before my son's baseball game. I enjoy the light, crispy batter on their wings with that sweet, savory glaze. I forgot someone had recommended I get them double glazed, which definitely would have taken these wings to another level as the flavor was lacking a little. Next time I want to try those Bulgogi Fries which looked delicious, with of course some wings double glazed. Service was friendly. Our order was out within 15 minutes, which was a plus as we needed to get to the game.

An old, poor tasting "chicken strip".
Kent H.

I've been eating here for all my 13 years in Silicon Valley. Tonight's dinner will be my last time eating here. From the last time, maybe 2 months ago, the sizes of everything has gotten smaller, which I wouldn't mind as much if the food tasted the same; tonight's food was awful. I only eat white meat chicken and what I got tonight, tasted like a cheap knock off. The last strip that I had fell apart in the first bite, it wasn't fresh at all and tasted simply, like old chicken.

Chicken strips with the soy and garlic sauce
Peter N.

The chicken strips with the soy and garlic sauce, with the Korean coleslaw was incredibly delicious. It had that slightly sweet, really savory, crispy flavor and texture. I'm so confused how anyone could eat that and have anything to complain about. This was literally the best chicken I've had in over a year, and I go to restaurants at least 2 times per week. It was fantastic!

Cynthia W.

Delicious Korean chicken place! Have been here a few times and it never disappoints. Staffs are super friendly and they told us we can choose how many pieces we want for one sauce and then for the other sauce. Ambiance: few tables inside. They get quite busy even for a weekday night. Lots of people getting to-go too. Huge parking lot outside so easy to find a spot.

Liang G.

Ordered a few times via Doordash. Price is reasonable. Some flavor is a little too sweet. Soy Garlic is my go-to option.

Jenny T.

Bonchon standing on business as per usual at this location - the chicken and onion rings were both delightfully crispy. The rice was not dry. The spicy mayo was kicking! Radish was delicious too. Service was great! Ambience is casual and chill. Still my favorite Bonchon!

For a fast food restaurant with authentic Chinese food, the food is good though I think the item combo price is pricier than Panda Express. A a combo here includes rice/noodles as 1 item whereas Panda Express is 1 side + 2 entrees for a smaller plate or 1 side & 3 entrees and the price is cheaper. We ordered just for 1 person the following: 1. 3 item combo: -half vegetable fried rice and half pork fried rice -tofu & eggplants: My husband likes it and said the tofu was good. He asked me to try the tofu. The fried tofu is good as it has a nice texture to it but the flavoring is slightly on the sweeter side which I am not a fan of. I prefer my food on the savory side. -kung pao chicken: this was very good. I have a weak spot for this dish as I always order it whenever we get fast food Chineae. I love the combination of having peanuts stir fried with the chicken and the zuchinnis. The zucchinis were cooked just right not overcooked where it's too soft or undercooked. The flavoring is just right not salty and there is a good spicy kick as generally most place doesnt make it spicy even though it should be spicy. 2. Small hot and sour soup: Sour but not spicy. We added additional chili oil condiment available on the table to make it spicy to our taste. The soup is flavorful but there is an odd taste to it, possibly the vinegar brand used. The location has a small parking lot for a big building with plenty of tables available inside for you to sit down and eat. Condiments if soy sauce and chili oil are on most tables and a self serve soda fountain and a water dispenser. Service was quick and staff was friendly.

I noticed even with more people coming in, they took orders quick and were able to serve them almost instantly. It looks like they take catering as well. My hubby and I got an order of the siu mai ($6.15 for 3 pieces), har gow ($6.15 for 3), BBQ pork bun (~$3 for 1), and the black bean spare beans ($6.15). Prices were fairly decent and the portion sizes were fairly big! The siu mai was a bit sweeter than I normally like, but I liked the size of them. Har gow was fresh (it did come out 5-10 mins after we sat down) and was actually very plump and the skin was easy to eat (most places the skin falls apart). BBQ pork bun was also very good - can't go wrong with a simple bun. Black bean spare-ribs were just OK, definitely could be better as it felt too garlicky and most of it was fat. I am deducting a star mostly due to the food not being as hot. Since we were able to eat right away, we were hoping the food would be fresh/hot but the siu mai and spare-ribs were just very lukewarm.
