The broth was deep in flavor, piping hot, and the noodles cooked perfectly with a good bite. The banchan - loved the variety and flavors - spicy, sweet, savory.

Since a couple of us are vegetarian, she was also very accommodating with modifications to meet our dietary preferences. The ambiance was lovely and made for a great lunch date setting. However, the food portions were on the smaller side, and the bibimbap was served differently from the traditional style we expected. Overall, we found the flavors to be just average and not particularly memorable. While the service and atmosphere were excellent, we're not sure we'd return specifically for the food.

This was our first time here so we decided to get the sampler platter. It comes with drums, wings, bulgogi fries, potstickers, street corn, and coleslaw. We wanted to try a few things. We got spy garlic and spicy sauce on the side. The food came out quick - and it was a lot. We ended up having to get a to-go box. Everything was good, but our favorites were the potstickers, the drums and bulgogi fries. The coleslaw was a nice light finish too. The three of us could t finish it and took 2 of the 4 wings home with us. The service was friendly start to finish and we all agreed we'd be back!

Running errands near Avalon took a sharp and unexpected turn the moment I spotted Bonchon. To say I…read morewas excited would be an understatement. This is the kind of place I used to frequent back in the San Francisco Bay Area, the kind of food that does not just satisfy a craving but completely takes over your mood. I am fairly certain my driving became questionable for a moment as I made a very committed turn into the parking lot. Walking in felt like a reunion I did not know I needed. Korean fried chicken, done right, is a very specific kind of joy. It is crispy, it is loud, and it does not apologize for it. Bonchon delivers on all of that. We went big and ordered the 30 piece boneless mix with soy garlic and Korean BBQ, because restraint did not feel appropriate for the occasion. The chicken came out exactly how I remembered it. Perfectly double fried with that signature crunch that somehow stays intact even under a generous coating of sauce. The soy garlic had that sweet savory balance that keeps you reaching for just one more piece, and the Korean BBQ brought a deeper, slightly smoky flavor that made it impossible to pick a favorite. It was less of a meal and more of a full experience. We also added pork potstickers with a soy garlic glaze, which felt like the correct life decision. Crispy edges, tender filling, and just enough glaze to make them disappear faster than intended. At some point I stopped pretending I was sharing. The place itself was spectacularly clean, which immediately stood out. The only hiccup came with the service. The staff were not unfriendly, but they were occupied at the register and did not notice that our order had been sitting behind them for a bit. We eventually walked over to check if it was ours. That extra wait took a little away from the experience, and the chicken was not quite as crisp as it should have been by the time we got it. It is the only reason this lands at four stars instead of five. There is something about finding a place you loved from another chapter of your life in a completely different state. It feels like a small win. My husband may not have been convinced that seventy eight dollar shorts were a good investment, but I would argue this detour more than made up for it. If you are anywhere near Alpharetta and have even a passing appreciation for fried chicken that takes itself seriously, this place still absolutely delivers. My heart, and my appetite, were very content.

Was it a HIT or MISS…read more Well...it was a HIT straight on the bullseye It was fantastic. I happen to be shopping in Alpharetta and I had seen a TikTok review about his place so I decided to try it out. This establishment specializes in chicken. Everything is Korean chicken. I had the chicken sandwich with fries. This thing was huge. There is no way anyone is going to be able to bite down into the entire sandwich at once. I had to break it up into 2 pieces. It has this special sauce and grated pickles. It was so good. The bun was soft and the chicken was crispy. This was the kind of sandwich that would knock Popeyes chicken sandwich out of this atmosphere !!! The place was clean. It was quite a few people enjoying their lunch when I arrived. I was able to get a parking space directly in front of the restaurant and parking is free. You can't miss it and you don't want to miss it.

I've heard so much about kimchi red! I just never got the chance to try it until now. The…read morerestaurant itself is on the smaller side, so when there are a lot of people, it can get pretty cramped. From my experience, the service is self-serve! Someone brings you the food, but you put up your plates and stuff at the end of your meal. They also have a station for you to grab your own to-go containers and bags. The first thing to be aware of is to not let any of the photos fool you! The portions are very generous. Many people around me ended up taking to-go boxes (myself included). I got the Kang Nam chicken, the half-sized tteokbokki, and the kimchi fried rice. The chicken was crispy and tender, and the white sauce with onion was incredibly delicious. The kimchi fried rice was also very flavorful as well. The spices balance very well together. The only thing I wouldn't recommend is the regular tteokbokki. It wasn't bad per se, but it also wasn't good either. I think there are better places to get tteokbokki, but no worries, their focus and strength here is obviously in their fried chicken. I would come again and would recommend this place to other people.

We were first served a nice, cold sake in a cute bamboo ramekin. The app was delicious! I love the smoked hiramasa with the lovely pickled cucumbers. The scallop was nice and it's sweet from the yuzu. The sushi/sashimi were the highlight! The bluefin sampler was so fresh and all the sushi combination was fabulous! The main was sea bass and miso cod. The sea bass was better than the cod, but both were wonderful with the crunch of seaweed and sushi rice underneath. Overall, a great experience and we enjoyed everything! Service was attentive and friendly! I want to try to come to one of their bluefin tuna cutting (they do them every other month)!

Parking was easy in their shared lot of a large shopping center. I did have to wait some time to get helped as there was no one at the front and only one party in the restaurant. the interior was modern with very high ceilings. The food was still hot when I arrived home and the medium sixe that I ordered was a decent size for the price of $14. The large was $24 so quite the jump in price so I didn't get it. The noodles and onions were in the bowl cold, with the broth by itself hot in a container and the other veggies, jalapeno, and lime in a baggie. The broth was just ok tasting and the noodles fell apart.
