Today was my first time ever trying BonChon and I have to say it lives up to the standards for having really good fried chicken. There's not much parking area near this one since it is in like the village in Union so it might take a while to find parking. I ordered the the ten piece chicken, half spicy and the other half soy garlic with a side of coleslaw and rice. The spicy chicken was soo good!! The chicken was just right and the flavor of it was soo good. the inside is very spacious and there's a good enough amount of seats to dine in at or just to wait for picking up your food. I waited for about 10-15 minutes for the food which wasn't bad. read more

I've been to a good number of Bon Chon's. This has to be the best one yet!! The soy garlic wings were nicely crisped and tasty. I wish everyone location cooked the wings at the same temperature and longevity this place does! Okay as of 2/21/2020 Order ready before they put on Yelp. Whatever I showed up while en route and picked it up. The quality of the food was terrible. The worse I've ever experienced from the franchise and I'm completely turned off. Lately I've been ordering from Boom Boom chicken cause the price is better and the wings are bigger. Hell, now after this low quality taste, it's even better! I'm sorry but Bon Chon can't get my money anymore if it's from a NJ location. NYC has been promising so far, but that's all I can say. read more

10 out of 10!!! Amazing, delicious scrumptious. It was too good to be true. Quick service I was told 10 minutes and came out in 2 amazing. The environment was so clean and calm and the workers were so sweet and friendly. Add this to your list ASAP read more

I ordered from Ubereats and accidentally ordered Fried Rice with Bulogi instead of kimchi bacon. I called and there was a 60 cent difference. They did not know how to do a price adjustment on Uber eats (It's possible to do) and would not change it for me because they didn't want to lose 60 cents. On top of that they forgot my fries. I literally only ordered 3 things how do you miss one of them? will not be ordering here again. read more

Other than the friendly cashier, this place is BAD. Aside from being dirty and smelling musty in the hallway/ bathrooms, food is barely edible. We are Korean and this is probably the worst Korean chicken experience, EVER! Everything is doused with too much soy sauce! The chicken pieces are tiny and overfried, again too SALTY! We ordered a bi-bim bap; it was pathetic! So much rice with a bit of iceberg lettuce, sprouts saturated in soy sauce, and weird mushrooms again coated with soy sauce. I saw this place open several years ago, and I did not think it would be very authentic. Instead of driving further for real Korean chicken, we decided to try it out, but it was a waste of money and taste buds. read more

Amazing Asian inspired food with good pricing,I highly recommend the Tonkatsu chicken

I've had Bonchon before and usually I like them but tonight I'm pretty disappointed. I've ordered half-and-half wings in the past, we would always receive five complete spicy wings and five complete soy garlic rings. Complete meaning the drum and the flat remain attached and we ended up with five big wings of each kind. Today I spent over $20 to get an order of 20 wings, And I pretty much got 10 wings total that were just cut in half. I know they were super busy and I'm thinking they were low on chicken and wanted to save but I basically paid twice the amount of money to receive the amount of meat I usually get with just 10 wings. I've never seen them cut the chicken like this. I don't know if there's a new manager, or if they were just splitting the wings tonight but I don't like being ripped off. Too tired to go back. I did some light cleaning when I got home before I decided to eat and don't feel like going back out. These are wingettes they gave us tonight, not the wings we're used to getting. The chicken isn't as juicy or crunchy tonight so they definitely dropped the ball with this one. read more

Garlic soy wings and seasoned fries is where it's at! delicious every time i order. Will continue to order.

My first time at Bonchon was on a Sunday afternoon for a late lunch. Realizing later on that this is a franchised establishment, I was worried about the food quality and authenticity. But I was wrong, Bonchon delivered great Korean food! We ordered their combo of wings/drumsticks in half/half (soy garlic & spicy) and to my surprise, they were delicious! The meat was juicy and cooked perfectly - breading on the outside was crispy and crunchy! In my opinion, the soy garlic was the winner. They were more flavorful than the spicy wings. We also ordered the Takoyaki (octopus balls?) and those were delicious too. The texture of the octopus on the inside with the crunchy exterior was everything you'd hope it'd be. Sauce was an interesting combination but very good! Not sure how authentic these are since this was my first time trying it, but I definitely recommend them! Lastly, we ordered the Bulgogi. This was my least favorite of the three dishes. The ratio of rice to meat was off (way too much meat and not enough rice). The meat was slightly too salty but seasoned nicely and the veggies were bland. I have to say this was subpar compared to my first Bulgogi dish I've had. At the price of almost $19, I would not order this again from Bonchon. Bonchon was ultimately a great find and I highly recommend their wings and drums! I suggest dining in to ensure you get to enjoy your wings fresh and hot :) It's also BYOB! read more

I eat here all the time but today turned me off. Wings dry like they are from yesterday. Called 20 times to say something no answer had to drive back while I'm at work. I asked for manager light skin chick with the over processed bleach blonde ignored me. They made it over but had to drive back no apology. Ask her to talk to the manager and she ignored me then finally picked up her cell phone to call him to the front no apologies. read more

Bonchon Union - I eat from here all the time but today mad me say he'll no. The wings are dry like they was made yesterday and reheated. - Chicken Wings Near Me - Union, New Jersey

My cousins were talking great about this place, so I figured I would have to check it out next time I went up to visit them, and I wasn't that thrilled tbh. The fried chicken was ok it was just regular nothing that special, and this would've been fine if they didn't hype it up so much haha. I would go back here to eat in because there's not really another fried chicken place in the area, much less Korean Fried Chicken. Even my cousins agreed that this time they kind of slipped up and didn't make it that much up to par as they normally do, but it was still tasty so I don't have that much to complain about. When I walked in, it was actually pretty busy, yet they seemed organized and handled it pretty well. All in all, I would come back. read more

Love the wings and service always a great taste .My family loves to eat there .Great area , clean environment and peaceful.

I've been to plenty of Bon Chon's but the one in Union may be my new favorite. Best suburban Bon Chon I have been to hands down. The menu has expanded and the offerings are quite good. Very clean and friendly Bon Chon with street parking available. We started with and avocado salmon rice ball to share and it was nicely presented and absolutely delicious. Then on to the reason we came fried chicken. We got spicy drums, garlic soy wings, and chicken strips half and half. The spicy drums rock and were delivered to the table piping hot and really spicy. My Daughters wings were cooked to perfection and the strips that my other Daughter had were spectacular as well. I am definitely coming back and plan to explore more of the new expanded menu. Our server Tina Marie was super friendly and nice. Love this Bon Chon!! read more

Finally BonChon is making its way down Jersey! If you've never had Korean fried chicken then this is the place to start. This branch holds up to everything that BonChon stands for; flavorful and crispy chicken. Had the boneless chicken, half and half. Chicken was on point! Spicy as always; made my mouth water. Soy garlic was delicious as always. Skin was perfectly crisp. Love it. BonChon also serves other Korean dishes now such as bibimbap and bulgolgi. Both of which are delicious as well. This branch does not disappoint! Location is clean, spacious and conveniently located. Staff are quick and kind. read more

Bonchon Union - Chicken Wings Near Me - Union, New Jersey

Oh. em. gee. This bon chon did NOT disappoint. We got there around opening time on a Sunday (mother's day) and it was basically empty until another family showed up toward the end of our meal. This place is clean (the bathroom had a nice little set up with a table, flowers, extra TP and air freshener) and gives you what you came for - bon chon! Wow. Their bon chon is as expected. You always get nervous because you think, "I hope this bon chon breading is as crispy/flavorful." Well, I say this place has better bon chon than K Town in the city. The spicy wings were spicier than I've had before and the garlic soy didn't have enough sauce on it... but now I know to ask for extra next time. We also had the bulgogi bibimbap which was enough for two, especially if you also ordered an XL order of wings. We also ordered seasoned fries which BF suggested tasted like sour cream and onion potatoes. Yum! This is our new go-to vs going all the way to the city via train... because who drives in the city?! We WILL be back! read more

Really good chicken! Crispy & so flavorful! A little pricey if you ask me. The customer service was okay. I would definitely come back. I love both wing flavors and the fries were good as well read more

Worse place ever. Sat here for an hour and horrible waitress forgot to put my order in. Will never be back

I love Korean food, and Bonchon has decent fried chicken and Tteokbokki which I love. Have been ordering food from them for few years, and I know it usually takes them awhile to prepare food. I started to order online and also through app recently. Today I ordered by app, and the pickup time was 7:55pm. I arrived at 8:00pm and was told that my order was not ready. Waited for 15 minutes and I started to get annoyed. Checked with the same staff member, and even showed him my email confirmation so he knows exactly my name and items ordered. I asked him to check a particular bag that was sitting there since I arrived, but was told it's not mine. Went back to him probably 2 more times for the next 15 minutes, still not ready. Now I am really losing it. Decided to check with a different lady staff, and she confirmed the bag sitting there for 30 minutes was mine. I was mad, but didn't take it out on the girl because she didn't do anything wrong. While walking out of the restaurant, I spotted the only one male staff who gave me the wrong information the whole time, and he did not even apologized, showing the attitude that he didn't do anything wrong. Very disappointed at his service. That was such a fundamental element to be able to identify customer orders as a server, and he failed miserably. I understand anyone could have a bad day and can't get the order right, but the careless and can't own up your mistakes are not forgivable. read more

Interesting. I had lunch at Barangay Grill and noticed the Bonchon sign with something written in Hangul next door. Is it THE Bonchon that everyone brags about!? Yes, it is. I first heard about Bonchon Fried Chicken from a couple of my friends who tried the food at the Makati/Manila branch. Then a few a weeks ago, one of my grad school buddies now in Singapore tried the food at his local branch and she fell in love with the chicken. Fortunately for me, Union has a branch. MY TURN! Buldak (B-): Essentially, this dish is diced chicken and rice cakes stirred in an extremely spicy sauce. The spiciness won't smack you in the face right after the first bite, but the heat does grow on you. I liked the chicken itself since it was really tender; however, I cannot say the same about the rice cakes primarily because, well...I didn't get any. In addition, I thought the mozzarella topping my Buldak was out of place. Takoyaki (A-): Not bad, not bad. They're a bit smaller than how Takoyaki should be but it had all the fixins -- bonito flakes, mayo, and green onions (substitute for aonori). They were fresh when they were served to my table. My only complaint is that I could hardly taste the octopus; I only tasted the batter. Bonchon Fried Chicken (Soy Garlic and Hot and Spicy) (A-): I dig it. While I liked the Hot and Spicy, the Soy Garlic was probably my favorite. The drumsticks I ordered were twice fried and had a slight sweetness to the crispy skin. Service (A+): I'm not entirely sure what her name is, but I believe it was Allani (sp?) who was working the cash register this evening. She was really friendly and great to talk to. There's plenty of seating. The menu is pretty limited but features the most common Korean and Japanese dishes (no sushi or sashimi). The prices are a bit on the higher than I expected, but the servings are pretty generous. Also, this is the only Korean restaurant within a 25+ mile radius. There's extra parking in the back if the side street spots are taken up. I'm a fan, but consistency (or improvement) is important. read more

I had knee replacement surgery on Tuesday and just tired of the food at the facility. I decided to order some food from Bonchon. The price I paid, I thought the quality could have been better. I was so disappointed and I didn't get any sauce as I requested and paid for... a major ripoff. Please don't waste your time read more

I had no idea this was a chain when I ordered a GrubHub delivery... Good thing because had I known, I wouldn't have ordered and I would have missed this deliciousness! I don't generally eat food on bones because of the whole ripping the meat off the bones with my teeth like a savage, but I made an exception to try the twice fried garlic wings. So good! Better than Roosterspin. Fried kimchi cakes? Yes please! Loved them. Fast delivery and pretty good prices. I'm a fan! read more

Bonchon Union - Wing box - Chicken Wings Near Me - Union, New Jersey

To have a Bon Chon in my neighborhood is pretty convenient and dangerous. I used to go all the way to Leonia before all these other Bon Chon franchises popped up all over NJ. It's much easier to get my Korean fried chicken fix now. This particular franchise actually serves more than fried chicken, as they have the extended menu that includes other Korean dishes like japchae and bibimbap. Other than the chicken, I've only had the fried rice so far and it was just okay. The restaurant is quite spacious and they have plenty of seating available for dining in. But it's usually pretty empty in here and most people usually get take-out or delivery it seems. Street parking can be hard to come-by but there is a parking lot available behind the building, if needed. Call ahead even if you're dining in since chicken orders usually take about 20 minutes to make. read more

First time I am taking my family here. We sit order some Wings to start then proceed to order more food. Nope sorry no tacos no edamame, nope no salad oh sorry no wraps. Really no salad Stop and Shop is half a block away go and get some lettuce. So we cancel the order and instead of saying, we are sorry don't worry about the couple of drinks. Gotta get that couple of dollars. Here is a hint if I was going to come back asking me to pay for sodas, well not coming back. The restaurant we went to afterword was great, service crushed it food was memorable, the peanut butter, bacon burger was awesome. Again the first time we were there and they got it right! read more

Do not order anything besides the fried chicken! Slowest service ever. Tables are not clean and it takes forever to get food. When we asked after waiting 20 minutes we were told it would be another 20. Salmon salad finally came out and salmon was raw. They did not take it off the bill or even offer to cook it. If you have to get your Korean fried chicken fix, order by phone and pick up. Or if you want the full service, drive to the ones in Boston. The drive time might be faster than the wait at this establishment. Luckily, their bonchon spicy wings and drumsticks are same quality as the other bonchons. Menu is limited and the other items are not worth ordering. Overpriced and even the rice is dry. What "Asian" place messes up white rice?! read more

Nice to see a Bonchon in the Area. First time I had Bon was in the cramped Jersey City location. This one does the job if your craving some yummy, crispy non-greasy fried chicken. Ordered a lunch 2pc. drum and 4 pc. wing and a side of kimchi. Totalled $9+. Thats plenty for a lunch. Any more and you'll pass out at your desk from the itis.. haha. I suggest getting the mix flavor, spicy and the sweet are both very tasty. Clean inside, trendy casual decor, Staff was friendly I would recommend! read more

Excited that there's a Bon Chon in town! For those who haven't been to this chain before, it's a Korean take on fried chicken. The skin is super crispy without being too greasy. Ordered my usual mix of soy garlic and spicy wings and gave the seasoned fries a try. Spicy is not a mild spicy; it packs a kick. Both wings and fries came out fresh, crispy and delicious. Just a warning - Bon Chon is cook-to-order so expect a bit of a wait for food/if you're ordering out call in advance. @Dianne Korean style potstickers are typically fried to a crispy crunchy finish...I guess your server didn't mention this :( read more

Bonchon has been a staple in my house when we need to order food. If you haven't tried Korean BBQ wings, you definitely have to give it a shot. We order the half soy garlic and half spicy wings. Sometimes the spicy wings can be pretty hot so beware. The soy garlic wings are really good. I've noticed that the service has gotten slightly better over the last few times we've ordered. The order has been correct and delivered in a timely manner even though it's a 45-60 min wait. read more

Where should I start....Bouchon of Union NJ on Stuyvesant Ave is horrible. They have rude and un professional employees at the cash register, they never get the order right, the chicken is cold and raw, they do not cook the chicken well, they give you chicken that was most likely left from another client so its cold and soggy. if I could put no stars as a review I would. This restaurant is managed really poorly. At his point WingStop is your best bet for fresh wings. read more

Wings are always on point when i get them. Crispy and flavorful. Sliders are great. Fried rice was pretty blah (no flavor, oily)last time i tried it so will not be ordering again unless they change their recipe. I always end up coming back to bonchon after daring to try another wing place that gets it really wrong and wastes my money. I'm never disappointed and that hasn't changed during the pandemic. Keep it up! read more

Normally, I love bonchon. The service is always great and the food is normally ALWAYS delicious. However, the past two times I've been the food has not been up to par :( this saddens me because normally it's SO delicious. To come home and open my takeout to find 3/8 pieces of chicken like this is unacceptable especially since this restaurant is not the cheapest. If I didn't know what bonchon was capable of I would've given it a 1, but knowing this restaurant they just need to revert back to the old chef or supplier of chicken! From a bonchon lover to a bonchon...ehhher. read more

Bonchon Union - 1/3 of the piece of chicken like this :( - Chicken Wings Near Me - Union, New Jersey

I don't usually like to write bad reviews, but I was very disappointed and angry with my experience with ordering from Bonchon. I ordered straight from their website to be delivered. When the food came, they had forgotten to put in an order of 20 piece wings. So I called the restaurant, several times, and on the 4th call someone picked up. I informed them that they forgot a part of my order and they told me to go pick it up from their restaurant. I'm sorry, but why am I going out of my way for your mistake as well as paying for delivery fee for food that wasn't delivered to me. I informed them that I could not pick it up, so she informed me that I would have to call Doordash (which I'm guessing is the service they used) to get a refund. I informed the worker that I didn't go through DoorDash to order the food so I have no order information to follow up with them and that I went through Bonchon themselves. After putting me in a long hold, she comes back on the line and tells me that they'll take care of it and that they'll refund it back to my account in 3-5 business days. That was 2 weeks ago and still have not seen a refund. At this point with the type of customer service I received from them, trying to call back again to get my refund isnt even worth it. I definitely won't be ordering from this establishment again. read more

There was a problem with my initial order. The establishment fixed the problem immediately. The wings are delicious and the cook did a great job fixing my order. Great customer service! read more

I have eaten bon chon many times - at this location and multiple locations in NYC. I ordered the large drums mix and have never seen such small drums. Instead of drums from the leg, they look like they're part of the wing. Very disappointing. Additionally, when I called to ask if the size of the drums have changed, it was mentioned that other customers have complained about the size of the drums as well. read more

Bonchon Union - Metal found in my food... Disappointed - Chicken Wings Near Me - Union, New Jersey

This is the second time I have ventured here and yes it's always pretty quiet. It appears to be very clean and modern furniture. Parking can be difficult at times on the street but there are a few parking lots in the area. My favorite items are the salmon avocado rice ball and bibimap! The tastes are phenomenal and I would come back every time just for these two items. Even though I'm not a big franchise person, I like this place's food. My boyfriend wants me to mention there is no wifi and that this is the 20th century! No place should not have wifi. He also believes the music is good and warms you up.. For what, I'm not sure. Good luck on your adventure to bonchon! read more

Disgusting!!!!!!! Couldn't finish it. There is no avocado . Inside some fried cat food (we didn't figure out what that was. Didn't look like rice or anything humans usually eat. Looks like something you would scrape off the pan before cleaning eat, but bigger lumps) . Fish itself tasted below average. Slightly burned and no taste. Looked great on the picture and I was excited to try it..., now I am hungry and angry . My husband had fried chicken . He said it was ok, but definitely not gonna order from this place never again read more

Bonchon Union - Chicken Wings Near Me - Union, New Jersey

Excellent wings. Better than bdubs for around the same price point. They always taste crispy because of the double frying technique. They even taste somewhat crispy when you reheat them, whereas bdubs wings just become a sloppy mess with splattered on sauce at that point (and sometimes in the first place). The takoyaki octopus balls were surprisingly good. Good flavor and generous portions of actual octopus. Better than at many Japanese restaurants I've been to, oddly enough. The radish that accompanies the wings is a bit weak and flavorless. Not enough vinegar sourness. Dukbokki was not authentic. I think I tasted tabasco sauce in it and not enough pepper paste. read more

I ordered a large size of their wings, half spicy and have soy garlic. I only received soy garlic. I called the store and was then told that since the store was closing they could only give me a 15% off. The manager then told me that in order to receive more credit for a mistake THEY made, I'd have to bring in the chicken. The manager told me he expects me to keep the chicken stored in my room until I can make it 25 minutes into Union to return the order that again, was MESSED UP BY MANAGEMENT. Do not go here. The chicken was dry and burnt. read more
