We stopped in here for takeout on a Saturday, the chicken was really good. And it was affordable. It was $11.95 for the 4 piece combo. It came with a small side of salad and fries. My only issue is with the parking in the lot. There's so much happening in this plaza now that parking, especially on a weekend, is a nightmare. We spent so much time driving around looking for a spot that we were about to leave. Luckily we got a spot and were able to go in and order food. Inside is small and there are a few tables but it's simple and clean. read more

Boom Boom Chicken - 4piece spicy combo - Korean Near Me - Edison, New Jersey

Good place for Korean-style fried chicken. It's sweet from honey, and you can ask to make it less spicy or as spicy as you like. We tried the spicy option, and it was mildly spicy. We got six pieces of dumplings with riddish instead of white rice, since we were taking them home, and we have white rice at home. The chicken was the perfect size; it wasn't too small and had a good amount of meat. I would visit again soon, since we liked it. Next time we go, we might try tonkatu (pork cutlet) rice dish. Check out this place if you're looking for good Korean-style fried chicken. Service was quick and friendly. It was a good-sized store with many seating areas, and the store was very clean. read more

I was in the area for work and someone recommended this place to me so we gave it a try. It was lunchtime on a Wednesday and I got the 4 piece special for 11.99. My coworker got the spicy popcorn chicken platter with rice and fries , and salad. His belly was hungry that day my friend. Mine had two wings and two drumsticks with fries and a green salad. The salad had balsamic dressing on it and it was good. The fries were okay. I don't like the little ketchup packets, if you're going to serve fries, make ketchup available. The four piece was a mixed of hot and mild. It had good flavor and was fried fresh. It wasn't spectacular but was solid. I would go back if this is what I was in the mood for. read more

Yeah, just don't waste your time with this place. It's really not worth it. You can find better fried chicken literally ANYWHERE else. Also, you won't have to wait over 20 minutes because the employee decided not to call your order out. read more

Whenever I'm in the area running errands, I make a point to stop by this place. Their wings are very delicious. They appear to have been double-fried, which gives a crispy exterior and really juicy, tender meat. I usually oder the extra spicy option, which surprisingly doesn't seem that hot. read more

This is a great fried chicken spot to go to if you're in the area or maybe looking to go to the spa next door or going for a grocery run at H-Mart. The fried chicken was amazing. We ordered the large combo #1 with wings and drumsticks. The chicken was perfectly fried with the right amount of crisp and juicy on the inside without being too salty or leaving you dehydrated afterwards. We got a side of rice and a side of fries. The fries were also perfect and overall the food was delicious. Service was about average where it took about 15 minutes for the food to come out but it was worth the wait. Ambiance is casual inside...most people take the food to go but if you have a chance to eat the food inside, I would definitely recommend it so that the chicken is the most fresh and crispy when you eat it. read more

Stopped in for some takeout on an early Sunday evening. Not busy and had time to look over their menu. Ordered a large combo - which was like 14-16 pieces of drumsticks and wing segments. Split half spicy and half regular. included a container of radishes. Ordered two add'l radish dishes, 2 dishes of white rice, an order of onion rings and a boom boom salad. The chicken was really quite good - nice glaze on top of the crispy bater. The onion rings in a bag were also large rings and quite crispy, even after the pick-up and drive home. Radishes were good - we had three bowls of them. Rice was normal white rice - not sushi rice. Boom boom salad was just okay. Some seaweed on top, lots of cucumbers and then mixed lettuce. Could have saved on not ordering this. All, in all a nice take-out meal for four adults on a Sunday evening. read more

Boom Boom Chicken easily has the best fried chicken I have ever tried. I always enjoy getting the wings here. Both the mild and the spicy are delicious, so I opt for the half & half most of the time. In general, the wings are crunchy and have a great texture. The mild wings have a unique and sweet flavor; while the spicy is decently hot, without being too much. I usually get the white rice as my side with the wings, and it is always soft and a more simple compliment to the flavorful wings. I also a get a side of the green salad and fries. The salad is always fresh and comes with a balsamic dressing, and the fries are nice and crunchy. The interior of Boom Boom Chicken is pretty cool and modern, and I enjoy dining in when I am in the area. The employees are pretty nice and helpful as well. Boom Boom Chicken has fast service, though it can be a bit slower once there's a lot of customers. Overall, I love Boom Boom Chicken and wouldn't change a thing about this restaurant. read more

Clean restaurant. Just order at tablet and the order will be ready in about 10-15 min. We got combo 1 half-half with the pickled daikon. The chicken was very crunchy but that's it. The spicy sauce was not spicy, just sweet. The non-spicy chicken was salty. After eating away at the batter, the chicken itself was plain, but juicy. I think it's easy if they brined the chicken before frying so that the chicken could have more flavor. The daikon was as it should- sweet and crunchy. read more

Boom Boom Chicken - 1 Combo half-half - Korean Near Me - Edison, New Jersey

Love this place. Parking is frustrating because it's in the H Mart shopping plaza but don't let it deter you. Super casual. The food takes a while to come out but it's always fresh and hot. The fries are incredible because they're double fried. Highly recommend paying for the extra wing sauce to dip them in. It's on par price wise with similar places. Both the mild and hot flavored sauces are great. My only gripe is the chicken size inconsistency. I paid for a five piece but two of the pieces were extra tiny while the others where medium-large so not very consistent. Every time I go there's it's a mix of sizing. However it's so delicious it's worth it. read more

First time here and I was skeptical, but ended up pleasantly surprised. Ordered the popcorn chicken (spicy) with rice and it took over 13 minutes to come. Not what I'd expect of popcorn chicken but it was piping hot and fresh and juicy. A little too saucy IMO but it was tasty. read more

Boom Boom Chicken - Popcorn Chicken - Korean Near Me - Edison, New Jersey

Legs or wings, and no legs when opened so we went with wings. Two flavors only, soy garlic and spicy, and so we went half and half in a small order ($18 for 7-10 wings).Brice or pickled diakon? Pickled diakon of course. Crunchy and sweet, but not overpoweringly so for the mild. The spicy had the same flavor with a little spice that didn't lose the flavor so that was better than other places. Greasy? Yes. It is fried chicken. Busy? Yes, a lot of pickup orders (ordered online and picked up). Definitely will try again! read more

Came here right after our visit to Hmart. It was lunchtime on a Sunday; the entire shopping plaza was busy so inevitably there was a bit of a wait here that day. We arrived in a group of 6 and secured a large dining table for all to fit comfortably! Inside isn't anything fancy. We waited maybe 20-25 mins for all of our food, luckily seated, since we were dining in. The food was phenomenal. It exceeded what I was expecting for a fast-food style chicken spot. Speaking on the fried food (we got wings, sweet potato fries, fried dumplings), they were so light and crispy that I wondered whether it might be air fried!... my family all agreed on that too. Some of our plates included a small serving of vegetable salad. It's always a pleasant addition when included to go along such a savory spread. Would I come again? Absolutely. It's nice to find good quality Korean fried chicken and a nice selection of side to go with it. You also can't beat the location, surrounded by plenty of other shops to get goodies from... although parking is a quest if it's busy! read more

Dangerously delicious! Get ready for calories overload when you bite into their chicken. There were plenty of people taking out still at 8pm tonight. There's no indoor seating. We had the mixed chicken and both were good. Spice was a good amount of spice. Overall, I'd come here after a heavy workout or if you feel like taking on a good amount of calories! read more

Omg AMAZING and HOLY chicken this is by far one of the best chickens I have ever tried in my life. You must come to this place!!! YUMMY!

I'm way overdue for doing a review for Boom Boom Chicken! I've been going their for years and they've never disappointed me. Their Korean fried chicken is really delicious! You can customize your level of spiciness, I usually get it spicy but I'm sure the others are just as good. Once you order your food sometimes it might take about 15-20 mins but its worth the wait because at least you know that you're getting very freshly made food. If it's your first time you can try their lunch special or now they have an all day special too. But if you just want wings then you can surely get that too. I would suggest you place your order and then go browsing around in the plaza, maybe go get some Bubble Tea! So if you haven't tried it yet, next time you're in the area and going to H-Mart, give Boom Boom Chicken a try! read more

I placed an order for a small Mixed Wings and Drumstick. They give you an option for a side of sweet and sour radish or white rice. I opted for the half and half wings which was half spicy and have mild with a side of white rice through Uber Eats. It arrived really quickly. The packaging looked intact, upon opening the box, the first thing I realized were the drumsticks were very huge! 3x the size of any Korean style wings I have had any place else or any wings I have had which made it impossible to get it crispy because of how big they were. After taking my first bite I also realize it wasn't as flavorful and not spicy at all. The mild wings were very plain with no flavor and the spicy didn't even taste mild. The rice was very sticky and had no flavor either and both the wings and rice were very cold for an order that arrived pretty fast. Total failed. The lady I spoke with over the phone was very nice though. I personally won't reorder here again. read more

Chicken is amazing hot, fresh and crispy. Flavor is unique and not too spicy. Food comes out fast with great service.

The fried Chicken is delicious the service is good as well food prepared and ready for pick up within a reasonable amount of time.

Ordered one large combo (16 pc) in mild and one small order (9 pc) in half and half to feed 7 people. Both comes with a generous cup of pickled radish - yum! This along with 2 kimbap rolls from HMart next door was the perfect amount of food for a filling dinner. To be honest, I didn't have super high expectations for the place but I was really surprised by how crispy the skin was and huge the drumsticks were! None of that pinky-sized drumsticks here. The flavors are good but nothing amazing. I'd still choose the more well-known chains but I think this is a good option if you're in the area and have a craving for Korean fried chicken. There was a huge line waiting to pick up when I went so that must be saying something! read more

Always reliable delicious chicken. Kids love it and the radish is delicious. Just order beforehand because it takes a while since it's cooked fresh to order. read more

I keep forgetting about this place as it is surrounded by so many other great restaurants. But Boom Boom Chicken does stand out with its sweet/spicy (or mild, if you go that way) crispy, crunchy chicken. The crunch is so pronounced you'll feel like you're in an ASMR video. But the flavor combination of heat and sweetness with juicy, tender chicken inside will send your senses soaring to new heights! I typically get fried chicken with white rice because I enjoy mixing the extra sauce from the chicken into the rice, so delicious! The location is convenient, you can pick up a meal at Boom Boom Chicken after picking up groceries, grab a nearby dessert, and/or bubble tea and call it a great day. read more

Boom Boom Chicken - 5pc all day special (spicy) - Korean Near Me - Edison, New Jersey

Been here several times. Always a good go-to for a quick korean fried chicken lunch. Chicken is always juicy. The skin is always crisp and flavorful. I always get the french fries because the rice is too dry for me. They offer several bucket combos of various peices. They offer several other meals to name a few: pork donkatsu, chicken katsu, chicken salad, popcorn chicken and dumplings. The white radish side dish is sweet and sour and a nice compliment to the chicken and french fry meal. They also offer edamame, green salad, corn salad, or a boom boom salad (mixed green with seaweed) to balance all the fried food. The deserts are limited to soft ice cream in a cup with 2 flavors: green tea or black sesame. read more

Extremely rude employees. Food missing from the order and they wanted to blame it on Grubhub and then blamed it on ME instead of just offering to replace the missing food. I have never experienced a more condescending, disrespectful, impolite group of people. read more

It's pretty good fried chicken. The number 1 combo was very good. However, we also got an order of the popcorn chicken which was terrible. Overly sauced and salty. Gross. We only ate a couple of pieces. The dumplings weren't bad and prices are decent. Overall good but stuck with the fried chicken. Also, order ahead if you can because it does take some wait, but that means it's freshly prepared right?! read more

If you are craving Korean wings then I guess this is the place to go. Personally I was disappointed because I expected it to be really flavorful and good like every other Korean chicken place. But it lacked flavor in the regular soy garlic If anyone is from philly then you'll know this place called cafe soho. This place is no where near cafe soho. It's okayish I guess. I highly recommend the spicy wings rather than the regular. The spicy wings definitely has a lot more flavor than the regular soy garlic. And surprisingly the fries were really good. read more

This was a regular for my family whenever we went to H-Mart to shop or grab boba. How the mighty have fallen! I believe the restaurant has changed ownership as the quality has now plummeted. Consistency was everything at Boom Boom Chicken. It was always crunchy, sweet and savory. Now the rice is super hard (probs day old rice) and the chicken is so substandard. It just seems like quality control went out of the window. Optimistically everyone has perfect rice now for fried rice and chicken for your pets. But truthfully after going countless times and hearing the same reviews from friends recently, I will never go again. read more

Definitely one of my favorites in Edison and probably the best Korean fried chicken that I've ever had, Boom Boom Chicken is a must-visit for any New Jersey natives who want crispy, tangy, and flavorful fried chicken all in one. The restaurant is self-serve, and the wings do take a bit of time to prepare, but the low prices and generous portions give Boom Boom Chicken great value for both take-out and dine-in (as there are plenty of tables in the restaurant anyway). With multiple ways to customize your order, based on the type/part of the chicken you like, spice level, and size, you can hardly go wrong with Boom Boom Chicken. My go-to order is a large, spicy, 20-piece, wings-only box, which comes with radishes as a side. BE CAREFUL THOUGH; spicy is REALLY spicy, so if you know you don't have a high tolerance, spicy is not for you. Even so, enjoy mild or half-and-half wings with just as much pleasure and contentment. For those of you who remain skeptical, let me just reiterate just how unique Boom Boom Chicken is. This is not Buffalo Wild Wings, or even KBG's K(orean)FC. These wings are both crunchy and crispy, yet they still have a great-tasting, tangy sauce all over them to add flavor. If you took the best parts of KFC's chicken and Buffalo Wild Wing's sauces and put them together, you would get KBG. My only regret is that I didn't choose to live closer to Boom Boom Chicken because the delicious wings and killer prices make a visit to this restaurant a necessity and obligation for any self-respecting New Jersey foodie. MUST-VISIT in the Edison Asian food plaza!! read more

My favorite spot for Korean fried food! The wings are sooooo delicious, I always get them with rice.

Stopped by here for dinner with some friends. One good thing about this restaurant is that it has big/long tables so it's easy to sit down with a bunch of friends and enjoy your fried chicken together. Every time I come here, I always order the "spicy" fried chicken- it's super crunchy and flavorful but not very spicy. If you're looking for CRUNCHY fried chicken, this place is definitely your go-to. I also ordered a side of sweet potato fries which were crunchy to my liking as well. Worst thing in the world are soggy fries but these were the complete opposite of that. Just be prepared to wait about 20-25~ minutes because it takes a while to fry. I usually go perusing about the nearby Paris Baguette or HMart to kill time. read more

SUMMARY: Service is terrible. I literally stood in front of the cash register where John and the unfriendly woman with the highlights were standing and they didn't even ask me what I needed. It's like I was a ghost. They have no manners. The woman is the most unfriendly I've seen, definitely bad customer service. It was my first time there, but I'm NEVER going back. Food is subpar. Similar to wings at an All you can eat like those at Hibachi Grill. Just go to KFC, Popeyes or Bonchon Chicken. read more
