    Chicken strips soy garlic and yangnyeom  Ranch and radishes
    Janae W.

    Been to this location about 3 times since it opened, my family and I really enjoy the menu. This time for 2 of us we got the 16 piece half soy garlic and half yangnyeom flavor. We also got an order of the spicy potstickers to start. The chicken is perfectly crunchy and they make sure to cover them with a ton of sauce, and the spicy potstickers have a nice quick. I also enjoy their other menu items such as the tteokibokki and cheese corn. If you're coming here with family this is a great place to visit. The staff is fast and the kitchen makes the food pretty quickly as well.

    It's been awhile since I visited BonChon, so this might be old news, but they changed the batter for boneless wings. The batter was the only reason why I liked going to BonChon because no other place did it like them. Now their boneless wings are frozen wings I can buy from a grocery store. So disappointed and it wasn't even properly sauced. The only good thing I got were the gold dust fries.

    Bonchon Korean Fried Chicken delivers exactly what it promises. Soy Garlic Wings - Absolutely flawless. Crispy exterior, juicy interior, and the soy garlic glaze strikes the perfect balance between sweet and savory. These are the wings you'll crave again and again. Bulgogi Fried Rice - Tender, flavorful bulgogi paired with perfectly seasoned fried rice. It's simple, elevated comfort food done right. Service - Impeccable. Staff are attentive, professional, and make you feel genuinely welcomed. Experience - The restaurant has a relaxed, polished vibe--ideal for a casual meal or a small gathering. Recommendation - Whether you're dining solo or with a group of 2-3 (even up to 4), this spot is a must-try. Bonchon consistently delivers on both flavor and service, making it a standout in Korean fried chicken.

    Super friendly service & plenty of seatings indoors! I was quickly seated on a Saturday night and food came out fairly quickly, Food: ordered the medium mixed with wings and drumsticks with half soy garlic and their new sauce yangnyeom. First thought when the food came out was these are some large pieces of drumsticks & wings!! The yangnyeom was my favorite. It was spicy and sweet and just overall balanced out perfectly. I usually love soy garlic flavor however the wings coated in this sauce was my least favorite. I thought it was way too salty. I also ordered the new item on the menu: mapo Korean corn dog coated in sugar and cinnamon, this was my absolutely least favorite out of everything. It was way too breading & the mapo seasons just tasted weird to me. I would not get this ever again. I love how the chicken was doubled fried & had the perf crispiness!

    I came in and was greeted by a friendly order-taker and placed a takeout order of Japchae. It was flavorful, but the veggies were undercooked. I've had them cooked perfectly at other Bonchons, so I do have perspective on this dish. I would never dine inside because I disliked the takeout experience (a first for me). I sat at one of their tables and was about to TASTE my food when a young woman (presumably a manager) advised me of their "no outside food or drink" policy. I immediately closed the lid on my food and rose to leave. I told her I didn't see a sign. She told me it's posted on the entry door and she showed it to me on my way out. It was a small sign and I missed it. I wish she'd taken a moment to notice that mine was a takeout order and that I wasn't dining in. Meaning the milkshake that I had with me wasn't going to be consumed on the property. Does this mean that if I came in with a can of soda get my takeout order, she'd have come and spoken to me? Petty.

    FOOD We ordered a mix of wings and drumsticks of the KBBQ and spicy types. The KBBQ option was a little on the sweeter side but still delicious. The spicy one wasn't too spicy, but if you have sauces at home, they can augment the flavor multi-fold. At over a two dollars per wing/drumstick, the place is on the expensive side, but it's a definitely nice treat ever so often. SERVICE We didn't dine in, and the takeout service is also streamlined and easy to get in and out. They provide chopsticks, utensils, and napkins with the bag, and the side dishes are packaged neatly to avoid spillage. I would recommend opening the chicken containers on the drive fro to keep them crispy. The staff are friendly and efficient. AMBIANCE The inside is very clean and modern with many seating arrangements available. It's a great place for a nice get-together with friends/colleagues or to dine-in solo. PARKING The restaurant shares a large parking lot with neighboring stores, making it easy to find a spot.

    Walked in on a Tuesday evening for a late evening snack! Ordered a medium half-half combo(Drums & flats): Soy-garlic chicken 8/10: Juicy, crispy, but a little too salty Spicy chicken 7.5 /10: not very spicy and a little too salty The server was nice and refilled my partner's water 9/10 There were not many people as it was a Tuesday night, but it was clean, music playing, and a good place to sit and grab a snack or drink! Overall decent place to hangout, but not the best Korean fried chicken in the area.

My spring rolls came sauceless and were fairly basic and cabbage-y, but a decent way to round out a meal. I appreciated their thorough vegetarian labeling; of course some things were not available to me that I wish they would make vegetarian, but the most important thing is being able to make informed decisions. I skipped the ma po tofu this time, but they claim it offers genuine numbing sensations and they did enough to convince me that it might be worth coming back to try.

They seemed a little short-handed when we arrived with one waitress covering about 7 or eight tables and manning the bar. She was awesome and had a great attitude as she hustled to serve guests. She got reinforcements which helped a lot. My wife and I each had the Sojourn Dwell IPA and it was out of this world. For food, we had not one but two portions of the house made pickles because they are so darn good! We also had the pancake which my wife loved but I thought was so-so. The pork belly bao was delicious! We also shared an order of the Three-Cup Sauce wings. They were sweet and well-cooked. The place has a very minimalist vibe with excellent music playing while we were there. It's not everyday you get "You're The Best" from Karate Kid playing in the background! It got VERY crowded around 6:30 when a bunch of people all showed up at the same time and it got pretty loud too, mostly due to a big group of mildly drunk people standing in the bar area.

I ordered some pilsner and some other lager on tap from local breweeies. Delicious. Ordered popcorn chicken, pork belly, and some 'real food' - a quick rice bowl with chicken. The fried bites were wonderfully crispy. They have good oil management and felt quite light especially with a swig of a cold lager. The rice bowl was tasty too. Construction was indeed very Taiwanese, and yet... I still felt like I'm in a dive bar complete with all its grunge. So cool They sell 4/6 packs of craft brews here too. They've got stuff all the way up from some Vermont and Maine (true craft beer land IMO)
