We continue to order from Bonchon on a regular basis. Mostly by DoorDash. Because the wings, tenders and drumsticks are so crispy. They hold really well for delivery. Four Stars

Bonchon is across from the West Farms Mall, in an open air plaza between a pet store and Trader Joe's. I book marked it because I heard about their chicken - my gracious the chicken was amazing! Moist and insanely crispy, it is my new standard for fried chicken. I got the classic crunch, and it had a coating that reminded me of chips, but only added to the flavor. I would highly recommend (and have) to fried chicken fans. The street corn had a great cheese flavor, and the fries went well with ranch. The mopo hot dog I loved, although I dislike balsamic enough I wish I had left it off. Amazing cheese pull though! My server was very patient and kind, thank you Michelle! There were a lot of people coming in and out for pickup, but it didn't effect the ambiance in the dining room. They were very separate.

MoPo Corndog
Kevin D.

National brand version of Korean food Came here because we wanted cake but also needed actual food as well. Opted for Bonchon because it was close. Got a corndog and some chicken tenders,wait time was not too long, and we dug in. Wings were similar to wings stop. Decent quality chicken, heavy batter and lackluster sauce. The wings did have some spice, so that wasn't lost. Serviceable for the price. The corndog was a giant mozzarella stick with a smattering of potato pieces. Not a corn dog in the traditional sense, but not bad either. Wait staff were helpful but very busy. Lots of to-go business bogging down the kitchen. As a food option, it's an option. Go in with basic expectations and a lot of liberties and you'll have a functional meal.

Love me some Bonchon. Their chicken is always so good. Now parking in that lot can be challenging as there are many popular stores near by. This one is near a traders joe. Ordering online makes the process easier. You just drive up and pick up your delicious meal. I ate in the restaurant a few time and the wait staff is always nice. The seating is also comfortable. The food is always great and full of flavor. The chicken always hit and their Spicy is SPICY. I get the soy garlic. I always like the side dish of pickle radish, nice crunch with juicy chicken. Their fried rice is also delicious. If you're at the mall and don't want mall food. This place is a few minutes away.

Wings

Went to bonchon in west Hartford with my daughter and boyfriend for a late Sunday lunch. It was a bit busy but after about 10 minutes we were seated at a booth. Looking at the menu they offer a delectable assortment of Asian foods. The table is pre set with a plate and a napkin with a cute pocket with a fork inserted into it. It was a bit of a wait for our server to come to that table. We all chose to go with what Bonchon is known for..the wings. Each of us got wings with different sauces but we all chose the seasoned fries. The food arrived after about ten minutes with the fries arriving first in a cute basket with checkered paper underneath. Good portion and super crispy. Nice flavor. Next were the wings. Again a good portion with a super crispy texture and seasoned with a perfect amount of sauce coating every wing beautifully. Everything you want in wings. I absolutely loved the crispy picked dikon radish that came with the wings. I also tried the Cole slaw that was also really good. So many restaurants have terrible Cole slaw so I was happy with this offering. The food was really good and I would definitely recommend. I do however have two negatives. First is the temperature of the hot water in the rest room. Absolutely dangerous!!! I burned my hands. I spoke to the manager and addressed my concerns but I worry about kids. If I was a child we would be on our way to the hospital. It was that hot. The manager (who was never visible until I asked, hiding in the kitchen) asked if we just turned the hot water valve or if we turned both cold and hot. It shouldn't matter....especially to the board of health! Beware!! The other issue I saw was when the dishwasher came out with clean silverware to reload the service station. All the silverware was upside down with the part you put in your mouth sticking up. This person with no gloves was grabbing the silverware and putting it into the servers station. Let's hope this individual could properly washed his hands that touched my fork/knife/spoon when he used the facilities. Let's hope these problems are addressed!!

Bulgogi bibimbap
Jim L.

First time here. We were seated fairly quickly. We both ordered bibimbap. One bulgogi the other spicy chicken. The bulgogi marinade was excellent and the spices on the chicken spot on. This is the first Korean restaurant I've been to in Connecticut that actually achieved the crispy rice on the bottom. So good. I wish their bibimbap included kimchi like many other Korean restaurants include. We also ordered the octopus appetizer that didn't show up until we were halfway through our main dish. And they were not worth the wait, very chewy. The server was friendly, priced as expected.

Our waitress, Angela was great. We had an appetizer and some hot green tea and jasmine tea. Fresh and delicious with no long wait despite a pretty full house!

Came back after a little while away. Food here is fun. It doesn't go with my diet but that's what cheat days are for! Service was great tonight. Very attentive. There was only one other guest sitting. The chicken is crispy. Dumplings are great. No heat tonight. Maybe next time. And the donuts are great too! They are light and don't sit like a rock in your gut! Try them!

Outside

I've had BonChon in Massachusetts and New York so I was excited to check this one out. The restaurant was clean and service was friendly. There's a bar/counter when you first walk in. We sat at one of the tables and there's a huge projection screen with sports on. Parking lot was spacious and in a plaza. For my meal, I ordered the the lunch special; 8 pc wings with half of it spicy and half Korean BBQ. There was a complementary side which I opted for white rice. The chicken was fried to perfection; it was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The flavor profile of the spicy and Korean BBQ was intense; sweet salty, spicy, my taste buds were dancing. I love kimchi so I had to order a side; the pickled napa cabbage with a mix of spices helped cut the fried food fats. My husband ordered the Korean tacos; spicy chicken with coleslaw, lettuce, buttermilk ranch, spicy mayo, scallions, and spicy chicken in a tortilla. I had a bite of that taco and it was amazing. He also had their boneless chicken soy garlic and he said it was delicious. The service was quick, friendly, and attentive throughout the experience. The place was clean, including the restroom, and spacious. The food was A+. Our overall experience was top notch, can't wait to go back.

Seafood Fried Rice
Chantee F.

I ordered Bonchon through DoorDash and was seriously blown away! Sometimes delivery food doesn't hit the same, but this was chef's kiss from the first bite. I got the Korean Street Corn, Tteokbokki, Seafood Fried Rice, and the Bulgogi Bao Buns--and I loved every single dish. The flavors were bold, savory, and super satisfying. The corn was creamy and just spicy enough. The tteokbokki had that perfect chewy texture and a rich gochujang sauce. The seafood fried rice was packed with flavor and generous portions of shrimp and squid. But the bulgogi bao buns? So tender, sweet, and juicy--I could eat those all day. Packaging was neat, food was still warm when it arrived, and nothing felt soggy or overdone. You can really taste the quality and care even through a delivery app. Highly recommend--can't wait to try it in person next time! #KoreanCravings #BaoLove #BonchonWestHartford

Bonchon has become one of our favorites when we are in the area for a quick lunch and doesn't break our budget. You can order takeout, but we have only experienced dining in. The staff has always been friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient even when the dining room is busy. The restaurant is clean, has a modern vibe, and low lighting, but the dining area isn't too large. While the restaurant isn't busy, Bonchon is located in the Corbin's Corner plaza which is always packed because of Trader Joe's. You will have to be patient while finding a parking space. Bonchon is one of the few places for my husband can get Korean Fried Chicken while I like to try their spicy dishes. They have a simple wing menu choosing from wings, drumsticks, combo (wings & drumsticks), strips, and boneless with either soy garlic or spicy sauces. It also comes with either pickled radish or coleslaw, we highly recommend the radish. The wings have a nice crunch, flavorful sauces, and the meat is juicy. My personal favorites dishes are the Takoyaki--fried octopus dumpling and Tteokbokki--a spicy stew with fish cakes. When the item is marked as spicy on the menu, Bonchon does not hold back the heat. We also like to get a side of Kimchi to go along with our meals. The extra sides also help cleanse your palate and cool off your mouth while eating the spicy dishes. Bonchon is a franchise with a few other locations in Connecticut like in New Haven. If you really love wings, an adventurous eater or love spicy food, I recommend in giving Bonchon a try.

Korean BBQ wings with pork potstickers
Alisa G.

Came for lunch with my husband, we were seated right away. The service was fast and friendly. The Korean bbq wings are the BEST I've ever had! Super crispy and flavorful! The seasoned fries were delicious! And the pork potstickers were my FAVORITE!!!! This is a must try! I will definitely be coming here whenever I'm in the area!

Korean Donuts & Sauce
Vivian V.

There's not many options that I have found for Korean fried chicken in the area, so Bonchon is a quick and reliable option when you're craving. Also nice if you want to multitask and shop at Trader Joe's next door while you wait for your takeout YumDrum Trio Deal for $12: Comes with 3 full-sized drumsticks (I chose soy garlic), a Korean donut, and French fries. Soy garlic drumsticks {3/5}: Big pieces that were cooked well and still had a decent crunch despite being takeout. The chicken itself was bland whereas the skin was overly salty, but the flavor itself is okay. French fries {3.5/5}: These were okay to me, my friend loved them and convinced me to choose the seasoned option (+$1), would probably skip out on these next time. Korean donut {5/5}: Golden and crispy on the outside, very soft and pillowy on the inside. Dusting of cinnamon sugar on the outside and dipped in a little bit of provided condensed milk made this a surprising highlight of the deal (I don't usually get dessert at dinner spots, but I would choose this again) My friend ordered the chicken bibimbap and said she would choose a different protein choice, as the chicken was overcooked. However, portion was huge!

Let's get into some great eating guys! I ain't ever been to J Timothy's, but I was recommended…read morethis place at work when I mentioned to some co-workers I would be going to the AMC in town where I got to see the first two episodes of "Lion". Honestly, after reading the reviews, I wasn't too confident I would even be able to eke on in for dinner, but my God was I able to get in, and thank the LORD I was able to find a parking spot with such a full lot of cars! What started as a solo trip to J Timothy's became a welcome table event when fellow Yelper Angie showed up with her husband and invited me over to their table. I'm SO glad we were able to have that happen! It became one of the best post-event dinners I've had yet. It did take a bit of time to decide between the three of us, but we eventually split our checks, with me taking care of my order and Angie taking care of the rest. We had Kate as a waitress, and might I say, she was not only nice and efficient, but she was very knowledgeable of the menu and very helpful and accommodating. I immediately requested a take-out box and she delivered just like that. She was even knowledgeable on what foods and such were made in-house and what wasn't, which is honestly very impressive! Also note, we all got to have a taste of everything that came in tonight, so we got lots of food to get to! We did have the wings for our appetizers. I did the 10-wing Dirt Style Honey BBQ Gold for mine, and they got I wanna say 20(?) Buffalo wings. They were cooked to perfection, and I was able to twist the bones off the flats. Both flavors were good, but even though it could possibly be my bias talking, I did prefer my flavor of wings. I will say the Buffalo had that signature spice level there, but it didn't overpower the wing, which is awesome! Oh, and there were also the potato skins which was rated perfectly, and that tasted really good as well. For the entrees, this is why I immediately requested the box. My order was the full rack of ribs. Angie got the chicken pot pie. Usually, I don't eat pot pies, but the one Angie ordered was honestly very good. Flaky, buttery crust top, and savory filling or chicken, potatoes, peas, etc. As for my ribs, whenever I tried to cut them, all the meat kept falling off the bone! That's how you know it was cooked properly! And dear God were these ribs were delicious, succulent, and delicious! Did I mention they were delicious? The BBQ sauce was a symphony of bliss that helped make each bite of rib taste like I went to Cloud Nine! The coleslaw it came with was good, but it's not something I would say can compete with the South. But good all the same. Drinks were great too. I got the Dragon Fruit Martini(?), and that was sweet and relaxing to have after a long summer and a long drive to Plainville. Oh, and we also got dessert! Again we picked different things: Angie ordered the "Not Fried Chicken" while I went with the Key Lime Pie. Wherever these guys get their key lime pie from, keep them coming and let me know so I can get some more myself! The raspberry sauce was a great choice for accompaniment and complimented the pie nicely. And the slice was divine! The Not Fried Chicken is a very innovative idea, and it tasted good as well. I can see now why this place gets so much love. It's insane how good this place is in just about every aspect! The sink did take a bit to learn, but that was about my only criticism, other than that this place easily gets 5 stars from me, and I am so glad to have had this dinner with Angie and meet her husband. #KeepYelping

A friend of mine took me here for lunch after church during a recent visit to CT. The interior was…read morerustic, comfortable, and spacious with 2 levels. We chose booth seating on the 2nd floor, which was cozy, and boasted a cool view of the downstairs area. For my beverage, I chose the Cherry mocktail, which was oh so fizzy, refreshing, and a nice mix of sweet and tart. We shared the Chili Dirt Wings and Fried Calamari. The Wings were fried twice and generously sauced. They were satisfyingly crispy and full of bold flavor with a bit of a kick. The Fried Calamari was light and crunchy. I had a tough time selecting my entree, but finally went with Taverne Grilled Meatloaf. This dish consisted of beef and pork meatloaf, loaded mashed potatoes, and mixed vegetables. The Meatloaf was cooked perfectly on the char-broiler, giving it a slightly smoky taste and bit of caramelization, then smothered in a tomato glaze. Meatloaf was delightfully tender and well seasoned. Loaded Mashed Potatoes was mouthwatering, covered in melty cheese, bacon, and scallions. Veggies included carrots, zucchini, squash and had a great consistency, adding a fresh element to the dish. For dessert, I had to get one of my favorites: Sticky Toffee Pudding. Their version was a moist, dense sponge Bundt cake with caramel sauce. It was decent, but overly sticky sweet even for me. Service was solid. Our waitress was welcoming and knowledgeable about the menu. Everything came out in a timely manner. If I return, I would want to try the Shepherd's Pie, Boneless Braised Short Ribs, or Pierogies and Kielbasa.

If you're craving comfort food done RIGHT, Rooster Chicken and Waffles does not disappoint…read more Everything about my order hit. The food was fresh, hot, and a solid portion. You can tell they don't cut corners. I literally saw them in the back battering the chicken by hand, which says a lot about the quality and care they put into their food. The sauces? All made in-house, and you can taste the difference. Every bite had flavor on flavor; no shortcuts here. They may have multiple locations, but this spot? Yeah... they put their foot in the food I'll definitely came back.

Rooster's on Main Street is finally open! I've been waiting for a while I feel like. I've been told…read morethey've only been open for two months. Apparently the most popular item are their tenders and I will agree! It's delicious! The 10-pc tenders are decently sized for $16.99. As soon as I walk-in, I am greeted with a beautiful smile and a friendly host! I also got the waffle fries and Mac and cheese with this order okay a Strawberry milkshake that looks very appetizing! The chicken is peppery and crunchy. The waffle fries are also well seasoned. I can't wait to try the Mac and cheese when I get home! They have an assortment of sauces with varying heat. Will you play it safe or you will you take the risk and sweat it! The business is clean and well kept. The colors are vibrant and very inviting. They have a good view of Main Street too!
