Loved the wings!

I came during their $1 wing special in July.
I tried the spicy BBQ, spy garlic, yangnyeom, and regular flavored wings. They were all good. I liked the Korean BBQ the most (very sweet and savory) and the plain one the least. They have beer on tap for decent prices, too.

Customer service was good considering the place was packed.

There's parking but the lot was packed. Most of the customers were from this restaurant too. I ended up parking on the street to save time.

Dropped by Bonchon in San Gabriel with my brother for a late dinner, and it definitely hit the spot. We started with the bulgogi fries—perfect portion to share, and the sauce was on point. Only thing we wished for was a little more bulgogi on top.

For the main event, we ordered the medium combo (8 wings and 4 drumsticks) with soy garlic and spicy flavors. Both were insanely good. You could tell they took the time to hand-brush the sauce on each piece—the chicken was fully coated, super crispy, and addicting. Every bite had us going back for more.

We added pickled radish on the side, which was a smart move—it helped refresh our palate between the two bold flavors. For drinks, we tried the Terra beer from Korea, and it paired perfectly with the fried chicken.

One last thing worth mentioning—they squeezed us in 30 minutes before closing on a Sunday night. Total MVPs for that. Honestly, one of the best spots for fried chicken in the SGV. We’ll definitely be back.

Came by the other day with some coworkers after seeing they had a $1 wing special (dine-in only). Bonchon is known for their Korean Fried Chicken, and they definitely deliver on that crispy goodness. I went with the Yangnyeom and Soy Garlic sauces—both packed with flavor and hit the spot. For a buck each? That’s a steal.

I also tried their chicken sandwich with fries and was pleasantly surprised. The sandwich was juicy and flavorful—not dry at all. They’ve got happy hour drink deals too, which is a nice bonus.

The shop is on the smaller side, so there might be a wait depending on when you go. But overall, when I’m craving KFC in the SGV, this spot is high on the list.

We recently stopped by Bonchon in San Gabriel and ordered a generous batch of 30 wings, and let me just say… this place delivers on crunch.

The wings were perfectly crispy and crunchy, just the way Korean fried chicken should be with a crust-like finish, and came in three delicious flavors: the iconic Soy Garlic, the sweet and smoky Korean BBQ, and a third flavor yangyeom that rounded things out beautifully.

Each bite had that satisfying texture that Bonchon is known for, with flavors that hit all the right notes.

To wash it down, we had two Angry Orchard ciders on draft—crisp, refreshing, and a perfect pairing to the spicy-savory wings.

Overall, this visit was a hit, and I’d confidently give Bonchon San Gabriel a 7 out of 7 wings.

Also worth noting: they seem to run monthly promotions, so it’s a good idea to check in regularly for deals or new items.

I had BonChon many times in Thailand but this is the first time in USA and everything was different. This place has a local and cozy vibe. The server was very friendly and the food was more well-rounded than just fried chickens.

The fried chicken was nice still, and worth ordering. The coating was thin and flaky. Inside was very juicy. I went when they had $1 wings promotion and I think it's still ongoing. This promotion made it really worth it. The pickled radish goes better than the coleslaw as a side to me.

The bibimbap was very good too and it’s priced by which protein you pick. The Korean corn and corn dog didn’t stand out to me, but I think the food overall still deserve 5 stars.

The crispy wings and seasoned fries are customer favorites!! These wings are double fried and their signature sauces are brushed on. It’s crunchy, sweet, spicy, salty and tangy!

I couldn’t resist trying one of their new menu items: bulgogi Tteokbokki. The best of both worlds! So savory! The perfect chewy bite!!

Don’t miss out on their Korean corn dog, pork belly bao buns, and crispy, spicy chicken sandwich!!
