    Yummo! First let me apologize to the chicken for what just happened, but honesty it had it coming. Lol The minute I opened the box I couldn't wait to taste it. I opted for the classic crunch which is like a dry rub, a perfect blend of savory with a hint of sweet. The order came with both flats and drums and normally I am a flats gal. I was shocked when I bit into the drum. It was juicy and tender. It doesn't taste like the actual chicken is seasoned prior to it being battered, but it was still good.. My food came out quick and it was packaged well for my to go order. Its a smaller establishment with about 4 tables. 2 of them big enough to seat 4. It was clean and the service was great. Definitely worth every penny! My 6 wing combo was about $15 bucks.

    Made a second visit with a dear dining pal yesterday. Last time I had a curbside pickup, so hadn't seen the inside nor food served to other diners. We ordered at the counter, fast-casual style. The menu has many exciting choices. My friend wanted the wings, but we were told there would be a twenty-minute wait for them because they weren't ready. Odd since wings are a lunch item and we were there at noon. So we went with the drumsticks. We were hungry, so ordered the five piece special for $15.99 with a choice of cole slaw or radish salad and two sauce flavors. We also ordered seasoned fries and vegetable potstickers to share. Well, when we are food arrived we were shocked and loled. Those chicken legs are the most ridiculously big drumsticks we had ever seen. That was so much food!! A gentleman next to us said he guesses we hadn't been before and laughed. He had two orders of bao buns, the bulgogi and pork belly. They looked inviting and are on our list for next time. Back to the chicken: it was divine. A very thin very crispy coating over unbelievably tender and juicy chicken. I had chosen the soy/garlic and Korean BBQ. Both were excellent; I don't think I've had tastier chicken ever... and I'm old! We managed ONE leg each, the slaw, fries, and dumplings and were stuffed. Given boxes we packed up and took home four gargantuan legs. FYI, the leftovers heated up beautifully in the oven; still crispy and juicy. The space is small and immaculate, with just a few tables. Lots of people came in to pick up takeout orders, so Bon Chon was busy. Bathrooms are immaculate as well. If wings had been available, this would have been five stars. Definitely worth your visit.

    First Impressions: Small location, but very clean inside. Very artsy and just themed based on K-pop (at least that's the feel I got). Interactions: The gentlemen was nice and kind, so no issues there. He made some great recommendations and I decided to capitalize on them. Service: The service was fast, easy and pain-free, and surprisingly fun. Waiting in the lobby isn't bad at all with all that's going on inside for such a small restaurant. Food: I have to say, the food was amazing. I absolutely love Korean Fried Chicken, and this place did not disappoint. Flavorful, filling, and most of all just a unique flavor profile for both sauces of choice. It was very fresh and hot so I always appreciate that. The crunchiness is insane and what Korean Fried chicken is known for. Value: It is a bit on the pricer side for food, I wouldn't say its a great value for the price as there are other competitors in this place that offer slightly better value in terms of price, but the food volume is here at Bonchon. Recommendation: I would definitely recommend this place for anyone that is in the mood for Korean Fried Chicken. It is definitely an experience when it comes to trying it the first time, but if your a big fried chicken person and love that extra crunch with the uniqueness of the flavors, this is the spot. Just a reminder that this place is a bit pricey but you pay for what you get. I will be back! Thank you.

    I'm obsessed with Bonchon's pot stickers, but also really enjoy their boneless wings. Both are perfect for sharing, but also a great solo meal. Highly recommend!

    Delicious crispy full of flavor chicken, cooked fresh to order. Ordering from the kiosk is simple quick & your order gets sent straight to the kitchen creating a faster experience in receiving your food. Had the soy garlic wings which comes with a complimentary side either coleslaw or pickles radish. Also git the bulgogi fries rice with scrambled egg , both were fresh & full of flavor, Looking forward to returning & next time trying out the Korean doughnut

    My husband and I ordered takeout from here this week and though my husband's meal was pretty good (the wings and fries), I didn't especially enjoy the japchae. It felt like all noodles and veggies and lacked much meat. I was really disappointed. Completely different from my husband's experience with the plentiful wings. I will say that the wings had a perfect crisp to them for us and good flavor (wish there were more flavors to choose from though!) ! It's interesting also how many variations to the chicken you can order. They have strips, wings- both boneless and bone in, as well as just drumsticks or just wings or a combo. The bulgogi fries were also really good. I did feel the place was a little expensive as well.

    The chicken was the true star that was 5 stars. The service was also incredible! The cashier was very helpful and kind. 3 stars because the ice machine was broken and the bulgogi tteobokki was very bland. While the rice cakes were soft it was like a soup and didn't look like the picture at all and really lacked flavor. But the chicken was crispy and packed with flavor. I would go back for that !

    Went in again today. This time I ordered takeaway. The staff were very nice when taking my order, but it took 10-15 minutes for my food to arrive which felt like an eternity. It is probably best to order ahead to avoid sitting and waiting. It's ok though because the wait was worth it. The wings were delicious as was the coleslaw side I got. Parking in this parking is very limited as you are sharing it with 3-4 other restaurants and a bar. I felt lucky to even find a spot.

    Chicken is my preferred protein so I was excited to try Bonchon. We ordered wings, strips, combo of wings/drums, bao buns with pork belly and house fried rice with ribeye. The chicken at Bonchon is outstanding. We had the chicken sauced three different ways: Soy Garlic, Spicy, Korean BBQ. All were delicious. The chicken is served with a side of pickled radish or coleslaw. I was thinking we'd get three sides since we ordered three different chicken dishes but only received two. The coleslaw is pretty good and I loved the pickled radish. The bao buns would have been good if they'd been served without the coleslaw. The coleslaw made the buns soggy, gross and they fell apart. The house fried rice with ribeye was below average and the portion size was extremely small for $14. We asked for some of the dipping sauces that were in the refrigerator but were told they charge for them and we'd already paid so we didn't get any of those. My excitement for Bonchon has now waned but I'd definitely go back for the chicken and skip everything else.

    Bulgogi Fries
    Aisha B.

    Immediately upon entering the hostess greeted us very kindly and even asked if it was our first time. Such a small gesture, but it makes the world of difference. The food was delicious! We enjoyed Yangnyeom sauce on the wings. The house fried rice was also very delicious. A little pricier than I expected, so it's a once in a while type place not an every week place.

    I was so excited to hear that Bonchon was opening up a location in Tucson! I ordered 10 piece wings with half soy garlic and half kbbq. The wings were so crunchy and crispy, very light batter but still juicy! Ordered an extra side of pickled radish because it goes so well with the chicken. Also ordered a side of bulgogi fries which were delicious also! Service was quick and everyone was very friendly. Only downside is that the indoor space is limited, there isn't a ton of seating!

    Wings and legs. Two flavors.
    Gene T.

    Pretty good! The chicken katsu was amazing. The sauce was superb. The container they serve it in is awkward to eat out of. The wing leg combo was pretty good. Love the Korean BBQ sauce. The garlic soy lacked flavor. The dredge for the chicken itself is bland. So the legs, which were huge and plump, were great. The wings not so great because you eat more of the dredge that is fried around the wing. If the dredge had flavor. Would be great. Look forward to exploring more of the menu.

    Chicken sandwich
    Chris K.

    It appears closed from outside. No open sign or hours, but trust me they're open. We ordered a chicken sandwhich and small strips. I'm guessing the larger sizes are for families. Chicken is crispy and fresh. Prices are decent for fast food these days. I can't speak to authenticity but it is tasty. Clean, but limited sitting, but most people was taking everything to go. I'll be back to try more items off the menu.

    My 2nd time being here but my husbands first. Everything…read moreduring this trip was amazing. The customer service was on point. They were checking in constantly for refills of drinks or placing orders. The food overall was good, the marinades had a lot of flavor. I tried some sides that I had not gotten last time I was there which was the fried shrimp, kimchi cream pasta and the grilled corn cheese (no photo). This is going to be my preferred spot for kbbq. The only other one I have tried is Taeguki. I like that Kotu has more options for sides and the they do not skimp on them. They also do not charge extra for the grilled cheese corn. I would highly recommend this place. We went with a stroller and the waiter took away 1 chair so the stroller could sit by the table without being in anyone's way. Given that this place is amazing I'm excited to eventually try the owners new restaurant Seoul Shi.

    I say this as nice as possible because the staff were very accommodating. This was probably the…read moreworst kbbq spot I have ever been to. And I've been to a lot. I was a bit excited to try this. However, I understand now why it's the "best of Tucson". It's because it's literally the ONLY kbbq spot in Tucson. So extremely low bar. I have no idea how this place has so many positive reviews. I was not impressed for the amount of money. 40$/person is insane. I don't understand the menu at all. Why is it 40 for standard but if you want the good meet it jumps 10$ per person? I have never been to a kbbq like that. Let's start the review. -jap Chae was overcooked and way too much sesame oil -fish cakes were too sweet -kimchi was too bitter -corn cheese had too much cream or something. It tastes like a paste. -Ssamjang is extremely weird. It was liquidy. Ssamjang is not supposed to be liquid like since it is a fermented soy PASTE. It was not the right color and did not taste like Ssamjang. Ssamjang is usually a deeper color like a burnt sienna than whatever orange thing they gave me. -grill temp was all over the place -portion sizes were not good Full disclosure. I am Korean. I grew up eating Korean food and being surrounded by Korean culture. The japchae had too much sesame oil. If I can distinctly taste the sesame oil there's way too much. The fish cakes had too much sugar. The portion sizes I thought were small for kbbq. Maybe get two servings out of one order. Also when the grill was initially turned on, it was so hot that our first round of meat pretty much instantly burned due to temperature and the meats were thin. Thank goodness the staff didn't charge us for the left over burnt meat. I'm serious it was CRUNCHY. Also personal take here. At this restaurant I didn't see any Asians on the staff. At kbbq usually you see Asians or Koreans working. I saw no Asians working. So I thought to myself if a Korean speaking person came here the would be in trouble unless the knew English very well. I'm a little concerned about if the owner is even Korean? You might not think it matters but it does. They know how Korean food is supposed to be. Some good things. The galbi wasn't bad. It was the short rib with bone which isn't my preferred form of galbi but it was still good and not too sweet. The pop corn chicken was so good. They give a chunk of beef fat to grease the grill in the beginning which I appreciated. Strip loin was good. Although it was basically a chunk of meat you toss on the grill and cut yourself with scissors. The spicy pickled cucumbers weren't bad and tasted normal. That's about it though. I would never come back here due to the price absolutely not equating to the quality. The staff very nice. But not nice enough to save the food. This place I would expect more 20-25$/person than anything. Not 40$! If the kbbq place absolutely was redone different story.

    This past weekend, we found ourselves on a quest to find casual and tasty foods to serve at our…read moreSuper bowl gathering. As we began to look,(basically, we just did a google search) , Wings and Rice showed up on our, "food radar" . After noting the high number of 5-star ratings that were consistently being given to WINGS & RICE by my fellow Tucsonians, my wife asked if I would stop by and grab some wings to bring home to share with our honored guests. Upon arriving home, the wings were quickly decimated by our guests. The fact that they were gobbled up so fast and raved about, is probably the best and most-honest evidence that the numerous five-stars ratings given to WINGS & RICE are "spot-on" in their assessments. The place is "kind-of unassuming"--as it sits on the south-east corner of Pima and Craycroft in Tucson. Despite the fact that I have passed it numerous times-- wondering about it, and even considered giving it a go, I ultimately have never stopped in. Shame on me, as i we came to really enjoy the food here! This does then beg the question... "How many other hidden gems like this have I been passing by?" But then, in the bigger view of it all, isn't this the primary reason that YELP exists?! I think YELP got its name from the sound a dog makes after being kicked--which is what should have happened to me for passing this place so many times. ( *That origin story is not true--I just made that up for comedic effect.) So anyways, in my humble opinion (*for what that is worth), the place is the culinary equivalent of Duncan the Tall--a simple, but honorable hedge-knight in the HBO series, "A Knight of the 7 Kingdoms." (It's not my place to recommend TV shows here, but this one is a good 'un). And, if you are thinking that my saying this restaurant is like a lowly knight roaming the country-side seeking justice and honor is a criticism against W&R, you are so-so-so wrong! My comparison is intended as a compliment in the highest of regards. For, like Dunk, this place embodies the true ideals of what it means to serve. WINGS & RICE does not adorn itself with fancy-pantsy decorations and art. Instead, it strives to modestly, and without "pomp and circumstance" follow the noble ideals of serving up high quality and tasty chow (at reasonable prices) to the tired, huddled masses--yearning to breath free and fill their bellies. So, my lords and me ladies, pray, allow me to express my final thoughts on the matter of sustenance and refined beverages that can be had-ith at WINGS and RICE... If one be-ith in the moodith for-ith some tastely victuals, this be-ith the place. I probably just lost all shreds of any "street cred" that I may have had-- with my, "playing the fool" by comparing the W&R to a character in a show. (*not to mention my attempt to use the language of the middle ages and falling short). Despite all that, don't pass this place up. It really is, "the good stuff". Make yee way, post-haste and full-tilt to-ith WINGS & RICE!!! Anon! Post script. We opted for the buffalo wings and the lemon and pepper wing flavors from their menu. The lemon and pepper offerings went first and were demolished in seconds...but the buffalo flavored ones did not last long either. Our guests nearly came to "unshielded swords" over who would get the last of these tasty morsels of delectable meats. *And, an added bonus was the side of rice, which, while I was waiting for my order to be completed, I over-heard two different patrons rave about. Cah-ching! They were not wrong... "food-ith of the gods" were those starchy seasoned soft and sticky white grains of heaven--bathing in spicy buttery flavor!

    Planning on picking up dinner for the hub and me, I checked for but didn't find online ordering…read morefor Wings and Rice. So I called and spoke to the sweetest and most helpful man. We (lol) decided on the ten-piece wing, half garlic Parmesan and half teriyaki. The order comes with a huge portion of chicken fried rice, a small salad dressed with soy miso, and a soda. The rice was absolutely perfectly cooked and delicious. A special sauce on the side added to its yumminess. The wings were disappointing though. The teriyaki sauce was great but the wings were small and chewy. There was so much delicious rice that the hub and I enjoyed it for two lunches. We will definitely return for the rice.
