    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    First off still a good place. Their chicken and sides are delicious. Yet when prices are an issue, one has to consider the alternatives. Bonchon is still the king of this style of chicken, but I now personally prefer a couple of their competitors. Would I still recommend here? Absolutely and for those first going with this type of chicken, you'll be wise to start out here. It is a comfortable, and extremely clean restaurant. Have to say thank you, to the kind staff who are polite here. Parking can be challenging. I did like their old location a little bit more. This is a decent spot to go to, so if you're close by, it's worth a meal time. Family friendly and a safe choice.

    Half and half medium combo
    Antarjot K.

    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.

    The chicken is always perfectly crispy and flavorful--spicy is my favorite. The sides are fresh, and the service is quick and friendly. Whether dining in or taking out, everything is consistently delicious.

    Nice and clean

The decor was really nice too! Modern with a touch of fun and eclectic. Fortunately, my friends had already been here before, so I had plenty of good suggestions to consider. I opted for a plate that was heavy in vermicelli noodles, and upon ordering the server who took my order highly suggested that I order the woven vermicelli meal that came with lemon grass beef. I am so happy I listened to him because the dish was overflowing with delicious flavor and before I knew it, my plate was completely empty. Service was very kind, prompts and knew all the right suggestions to offer for a high quality experience. Plenty of delicious options for appetizers from classic favorites like fried spring rolls and rice paper summer rolls to savory entrées like short rib, hot pot Vietnamese noodle soups and fried rices. I can see why this place has quickly become a local favorite and why the ratings are all very positive! Lived up to the hype for sure! Thank you so much for an awesome dinner this evening! I really look forward to returning very soon.
