This place used to be my go-to place for Korean fried chicken, but the last few times have been a disappointment. They do not add enough sauce to the chickens. The first time I realized this was when there were literally dry pieces of chicken in the box. Half the point of Korean chicken is the delicious sauce! So after that, I've always asked for extra sauce, but apparently, that's not enough because there are still dry pieces of chicken in the box. It's an okay place to go to. For the price, I don't think it's worth it anymore. Also, they take a really long time to prepare, so be sure to call in ahead like 30 minutes. read more

Boom Boom Chicken - Large combo with extra spicy sauce! - Korean Near Me - Edison, New Jersey

Today we drove from Staten Island to Jersey buy take out lunch at Boom Boom Chicken. Upon arrival I was told there were no drumsticks. I then decided to buy a chicken wing large order ($24.99) and two-2 CHICKEN BREASTS, as one person in my family doesn't eat wings. I was charged $5.00 for the chicken breasts. Once at home we took the breast out of the container, to my surprise, I paid five dollars for 2 pieces of breast, not for two breasts. Photo enclosed. I feel the girl in the front was not honest enough. I asked if they were breasts and she said yes. SHE SHOULD HAVE told me there were pieces of chicken breast and not full breasts. POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE, NOT HONEST WITH CLIENTS, GOT RIPPED OFF ! I have purchased chicken from them before. ITS TIME TO LOOK FOE OTHER PLACES THAT SELL KOREAN FRIED CHICKEN. THESE TWO PIECES OF CHICKEN FOR 5$$ are a joke! Not going back! read more

Food was okay. Plenty of food but part of the take out order was missing. Check your order before you leave.

To be frank, the only down sides of this place is the wait and sometimes they forget a small side. Otherwise the chicken are delicious, always crispy, and the price is well worth the amount you get. Occasionally I do notice that when I get the combo platters, they forget some little things (e.g., corn salad, or get mixed up with the rice or French fries), even with ordering online. Expect at least a 15 minute wait at all times so either call/order online ahead of time, or order before you go shopping around either in H-Mart or anything in the lot. read more

One of the best Korean fried chicken place to go to! Really delicious and well seasoned. Though, I expect the spicy level of chicken can be a little more spicy. The chicken taste very juicy and the outer part are very crunchy as well. I was shocked by the size of the drumstick. Must give it a shot to try. Won't regret it :) One of the small con is that the wait was about 15-20min. But was it worth it lols read more

Metal wire on their chicken wings!!! We ordered to go so while munching on the spicy wing, my tongue cought i thought was a thin torn bone but what do you know, it's a metal wire! Looks like a staple wire but it's longer and shinier. Who knows what this thing is?! Imagine accidentally swallowing this thing! Uugghh!! Hey boom boom chicken, double up on checking your chicken, how u marinate or make them! This is dangerous! You could kill ur customers. read more

I'm a huge fan of this place. Everything from the service to the food and the cleanliness of the sit in area. Every time I come here I order the same thing. Mild wings, sticky rice and fries and every single time I never leave disappointed. Now, I'm not a big fan of fried chicken buttttttt it's just something about the tingly taste in Korean fried chicken that makes me love this place. The only bad thing I can say is that I definitely wish this place delivered. And if that's the only downfall then you know this place is good. If you're ever in the area it's certainly worth a taste. read more

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

The lunch special is so worth! For years I would buy chicken pieces alone when I had the craving but after having recently discovered the lunch deal I probably won't go back. It comes with rice, salad, and your choice of chicken. I got the popcorn chicken because I was hoping for extra crispiness but my boyfriend got the wings/drumsticks and his was way crispier. Next time I would get that - you can't get half and half (soy & spicy) on the popcorn chicken so that's another reason to order the normal chicken pieces. This location is clean and dependable and is my go-to for korean fried chicken. Now that it has a lunch special I'm even more faithful than before. Yum :) read more

Korean fried chicken is definitely one of the ways to my heart. It's been a while since I last had it and since we were in the area running errands, we decided to stop by for some dinner. I went with their All Day Special (~$10). It includes 6 pieces of fried chicken, French fries or white rice, green salad, and corn salad. I went with the French fries! They have 2 flavors of wings, mild and spicy, so I went with half and half. It took about 15-20 minutes before our orders were ready. That's kind of a long time to wait, in my opinion, but we weren't in a rush or anything. The fried chicken was delicious! It was fresh, crispy, and crunchy! The flavor was booming (pun intended) in every bite! The fries were great too and complemented the fried chicken well. The green salad and corn salad were just okay, but it did bring a bit of a healthy/fresh filling to the meal. For ~$10, this plate is super worth it and it tasted great! If you're ever in this plaza, you will not regret trying this place out! read more

Though this is one of the best places to get KFC in New Jersey, it's far from anything special. Though I do love Korean Fried Chicken on any given day, this place could improve in some areas. For starters, their soy garlic had a flavor different than what I was anticipating; most places do it so that it's a perfect balance between sweet and garlicky, but it was way too sweet and easy to get tired of. Their spicy was better, but could definitely be more potent. The quality of the fried chicken itself is perfect; it's crispy, the pieces are large, and cooked to juicy perfection. I also really like the side radishes here, which were super fresh and crunchy. The sauces are the only things I found in need of improvement. The service was nice, and the place was clean and spacious. I'm definitely coming back for more, especially because there's no other Korean Fried Chicken places in the area, but I do hope that they up their game! read more

Get the all day special for $10! It's 4 wings and 2 drum sticks with fries or rice. You also get a green salad and a corn salad. Pretty worth it in my opinion! The marinade is flavorful and the chicken is fried well. I would definitely come again and recommend to others! read more

Did a pickup order here and did the 5pc for 10.99, was not super wowed by the flavors, simply deep fried chicken and really didn't have any sauces read more

A friend recommended this place, and I've been meaning to try it out. I went in and realized that like many Asian restaurants these days, their dining room area is closed and blocked off. Why I don't know, covid is over. So I had to eat in my car as I was working in the area. Not my first choice to eat fried chicken in a car. But ok. I ordered five pieces (smaller wings and drumsticks) of their mild fried chicken. They also have medium and spicy. It came with rice and a green salad for about $10. This was absolutely the best tasting and crispiest (panko coating, I think) fried chicken ever! It has a little pool of soy-based dipping sauce, which adds to the flavor considerably. Plenty of moist meat on these bones, and even the white rice was excellent - not sure how they made it, but I'm not a big rice eater and I really enjoyed this rice. The salad and dressing were good as well. I've heard that these places supply you with a single PVC disposable glove, to hold the chicken which would be a good idea. But I didn't get one here. Still the best chicken I've eaten. Not the all time greatest health food obviously but once in a while...why not? I'll be back! RANT WARNING - The only thing I found a bit annoying and ironic, was a small PC at the counter optionally used for placing your order in the store, rather than simply speaking to the cashier. I couldn't help but notice that the ubiquitous tip jar is prominently placed next to this self ordering station. I don't understand the expectation of tips in a place that is strictly take-out, especially when they are encouraging customers to even place their own orders. So you want a tip for taking my money? Is this for the kitchen staff? Aren't they paid fairly? Businesses need to stop begging and guilting customers for even more money simply for ringing their order. Pay your employees fairly, if that is an issue. So many places today have either a tip jar with large bills strategically placed to encourage customers to tip $10 or even $20 for providing little to no service. Or in other places there is a card payment system with on-screen tip "suggestions" starting at 20%, 25%, and even 30%! For take-out! It's excessive, unnecessary, and this tip begging cheapens a store's image. But, I highly recommend Boom Boom Chicken. I hope they expand to my neighborhood. Yes, it's that good. read more

Another late lunch, today. Had special lunch order of mild 5 pcs of chicken with salad and white rice. Rice serving is so little, I need to order a cup of rice ($1.60). Also ordered their Pickled Radish in a cup. The pickled radish is a great match with the boom boom chicken. The tangy taste of the pickled radish absorbs the spicey mild taste of the boom boom chicken. Both chicken and veggie salad are fresh and taste sooooo goood! Clean and quiet dine-in for lunch. Friendly service. Mixed gender bathroom. Will come back again, soon. read more

If you've never tried Korean-style fried chicken (dakgangjeong), then Boom Boom Chicken is a good place to start. Lightly fried in a thin batter, Boom Boom's fried chicken has skin that is more crispy than crunchy, and has a savory but not oily aftertaste. The fried chicken pairs well with the rice and vegetables in the Lunch Special, and the chicken katsu has a hint of honey. Credit card minimum is $10. If you do plan to pay with plastic, note that this business is part of the Rewards Network, so remember to enroll your credit, debit, or charge card in advance to earn the extra miles/points for dining here. read more

Boom Boom Chicken has some crispy, sticky, spot on Korean fried chicken. It comes in mild sweet soy or spicy sweet chili. With food served fresh and hot and the affordable price point, its a great option for a quasi fast food meal. You order at the front counter, give your name, and 10 minutes later you have delicious fried chicken. The staff are fast, polite, and on top of things. It feels a bit like a family business, but I don't know enough about them to know if that's true. Decor is cute. The big front windows let in a lot of natural light and the decor and furniture are nice. The restaurant seats 36, with one large communal table. While there was no line at 1 pm on Sunday afternoon, I still wouldn't recommend bringing a group larger than 10 people as the space may be tight. Bathrooms are clean, but there is only one. The space is casual enough for a fast meal, but nice enough for bringing grandma without making her think you're at KFC. Everything is super bright and clean. The food is great, with the namesake boom boom chicken being the bomb. You can get boxes or plates with salads, french fries, or rice. They have edamame and dumplings and pickled daikon if you're looking for more variety in the sides. The $7 lunch special gets you quite a good amount of food and I think its a great deal. Some minor notes - my salad was super over dressed, please take it easy. The spicy sauce is more medium than nuclear, so don't be shy. I'd love to see an even hotter sauce on the menu! read more

A casual place for some tasty Korean fried chicken. We paid $20 for 20 wings, half mild and half spicy (but ended up getting 23!) The spicy was not immediately tear-jerking as expected, but the heat accumulated over time, akin to a slow roasting of your taste buds over a small bonfire until your lips are tingling and your tongue is numb. The mild had no spice at all, but the soy garlic flavor really came through. The skin was very crispy, but easily separated from the meat, so that while the skin was flavorful, the meat was a bit bland. There also wasn't enough sauce to dip the bland parts in. There are only two kinds of chicken you can get (wings or drumsticks), and two kinds of sauces (mild or spicy). While some may prefer a greater variety of flavor options, my indecisive self was very grateful that the menu wasn't overwhelming and I could make a decision in a reasonable amount of time. In comparison to Bonchon, another Korean fried chicken restaurant in the area, Boom Boom is cheaper and has a more casual atmosphere; Bonchon is dine-in. Whereas Boom Boom's has crisper skin, I would prefer Bonchon's more flavorful, sauce-drenched chicken. read more

.Like most low star rated reviews, the issue starts with pinky sized wings. Pretty much paid $20 plus to eat chicken skins with sauce. Called the store after arriving home to ask about the small sized chicken but the rude worker hung up on me after stating that they need to help another customer. Called back but hung up on me again. Upon my third attempt to communicate my dissatisfation and a need to speak with either the manager or owner, the worker finally took down my information and stated to relay my info for a call back. Extremely dissatisfied and will never order nor recommend this locations boom boom to anyone. read more

Pretty legit Korean fried chicken if you are in that strip. I do suggest getting your chicken from here versus the place they have in the Hmart food court. Boom Boom chicken is way better tasting and overall. I love their spices chicken but I usually do half and half. If you can catch the lunch time special then do that. If not they have a deal where you get like 5-6 pieces with a salad and some fries or rice. I don't think i've had a bad experience all the times I had came here, just be aware that they make the food as ordered. So it might take more than a few minutes for your order. Call ahead if need to. read more

Best wings ! Mild is my favorite but it's a must try ! Good portion and different sides to choose from !

Was very skeptical of this place to be honest. It's located in the corner store of a Korean Market Plaza. However this place has chicken that will knock your socks off. Dam good chicken. My friends boyfriend bragged about this place and I did not believe him until he demanded me to try it. To my dismay I was pleasantly surprised. Boom Boom is nothing fancy but chicken was hott and fresh and atmosphere was clean. There was a little confusion on the menu options but was quickly straightened out. There is a bit of a wait because the chicken is cooked fresh but plan to stop by the bakery next door while you wait. That place is amazing as well!! read more

Awesome local KFC spot. Mild and spicy are both delicious. The spicy had great heat, but not so much that you can't eat the. The spicy is seriously addictive. Our order took 20 minutes for takeout which is standard for fresh KFC made to order so no complaints there. Definitely will be back next time we're up this way. read more

Boom Boom Chicken is one of my favorite spots to get Korean chicken in Edison. Their menu is pretty simple to understand as you just need to pick the number and either spicy or mild. I picked spicy chicken wings and drumsticks (9 pieces in total). It definitely worths the money. Each order comes with rice or raddish. I usually order in the store, which can take 20-25mins for the wait. But I normally stop by H-mart right next to the time doesn't matter to me. read more

Best fried chicken in town ,.,crispy and flavored and not greasy soy garlic and spicy half and half with fries and radish

Took 45 minutes for a large box of fried chicken. Took too long for my liking. Tops, the fried chicken place in Hmart only takes 20 minutes tops. Seems they prioritize pick up orders since there was 5 pick up orders that came and went before I got my order. Only reason I can't rate lower is the chicken tastes better here. The food comes out pipping hot and they are more crispy than the Hmart version. Also this place has more deals and value menu options as well. I will be back but not during prime dinner hours. read more

The menu is not arrayed with an over abundance of anything, However "The Chicken" is definitely worth every cluck. Service is limited depending on when you go but very customer friendly. ***** YardBird Yes read more

Great fried chicken. Can never refuse a piece of chicken from here. This place may be better than bonchon but that's not my problem. Would highly recommend if you have never had Korean fried chicken read more

I love to get the chicken bites from this place, chicken can be salty at times but I tend to like my foods more salty anyways. The service is nice cant expect too much from a takeout place. Quick note, make sure your fries or order is correct. There were a couple times where they forgot items. But in all its right next to Hmart so I will be visiting frequently read more

Great Spot for some Korean Fried Chicken! Ordered 20 piece (large) wings half and half sauce...excellent taste, spicy wings had a nice kick but not overwhelmingly spicy...excellent portion size as well. Prices are fair especially for the amount of food you get and taste value. Call ahead about 30-40 minutes and place your order...the chicken is made to order and takes time...so be patient! Will definitely be coming back for some yummy wings in the near future! read more

Boom Boom is a local favorite Korean chicken spot of mine. Is it as good as some k-town spots? No. But is it as good as it can get in Edison? Yes. I do think Boom Boom is kind of pricey, but I do think that when the Korean fried chicken craving hits, you have to answer it. I prefer the wing only orders as opposed to getting the larger pieces of breast/thigh/wing. I think you get better crispiness with more of that flavorful sauce they toss the wings in. Rice is extra unless you are ordering a lunch meal, or box of some sort. I don't usually go there for anything else other than the chicken wings. They do come with a side order of pickled daikon (YUMM) but they also serve up some really awesome crispy fries too if you are looking for an extra side. Don't come starving because good food takes time. Often I wait at least 15 - 20 minutes for my chicken so I usually call ahead. read more
