I'm always looking for a unique wings place! The wings were great and flavorful. What makes wings is originality in wings sauce. Yes, there's was unique and spicy!! And give the pickled radish a shot👍👍

I've been searching for a Bonchon in the LA area that lives up to the first time I had it in New York back in 2009—and this location absolutely delivered. The chicken was fresh, perfectly crispy, and packed with flavor. We also tried the bulgogi fried rice and Takoyaki, which were a delicious and satisfying addition to the meal.

I visited here for dinner late Saturday after Wango Tango. The place was clean and well maintained. The food taste was my concern. Maybe it’s fine for other menus… but if you know the taste of Korean chicken BBQ then it’s not the place for you. At least for soy-sauce chicken. The chicken has very strong soy smell, and it’s not what you usually taste from Korean soy sauce chicken. I feel like it’s made by someone who never tasted the Korean soy sauce chicken before. It was same for BBQ sauce that I ordered separately as side for my kid.
It’s possible that other menus might be okay… but at least not the soy sauce chicken BBQ. My 3 star for food is just for soy sauce BBQ chicken.

My spouse had went to order some wings and fries for dinner. When he checked the order, he was surprised at the amount of fries he got for $8. It was a handful of fries, not even halfway of the box. He asked if that's how much fries he gets for the $8 order. The cooks told him there's only one size and that's all he gets. He asked for a refund on the fries and was told he had to wait 40 minutes for the manager to come. I'm very disappointed and this will be the last time we will be getting bon chon.

On this 25th day of April in the year of 2025 at 3:30pm. There’s no way that the tariffs, taxes, and economy is affecting businesses this horribly that they think it’s reasonable to serve fries portion that’s only enough to serve a toddler at $8 an order. When asked they said this was the proper serving for their $8 fries order. We asked the servers to clarify, they talked to the cooks and told us that we had to wait over 40 minutes for the manager to return before we can do anything. How or why is there no managers or supervisors during business hours? This is ridiculous and unsatisfactory. It’s quite disappointing because we love Bonchon and have been a long time customer. But due to this incident my family, friends, and I will no longer be doing business with Bonchon Costa Mesa.
Super small portion size for $14/$20 plates fride rice and the other noodles dishes always feel hungry after eating here. They can't even fill the plate. Alway less than half way full.

They had no fish in the building at all, which eliminated a good portion of the menu and when the individuals that were with me attempted to order, they were out of two of the items that they requested as well. Food was average but the young lady that helped us was super nice, she was the one positive thing about our visit there

It's the #1 Korean American restaurant chain for a reason. The menu is very accommodating. The service is always friendly. The atmosphere is very good.

We were eager to try this place as we were in the mood for some Korean fried chicken and we had some bad experiences with our local BB.q Chicken. However, this was probably the worst Korean fried chicken that we've ever had. The batter felt like it was 2 inches thick all the way around. When you got to the center, there was barely any meat. The sauce was actually pretty good, but it didn't even cover the entire wing and looked like it was lazily squirted onto them. When we asked if we could get a side of the sauce to compensate for this, they advised that we were going to be charged for the sauce. We then declined since our bill was already at $70. Service was fine. The waiter seemed friendly and was initially attentive, but as time went on, I feel that he could tell that we did not like the food and he stopped coming to our table. The place was clean and there was a lot of space, but the lack in quality of the food is the reason for this rating. We do not recommend this place for Korean fried chicken.
