Bonchon San Jose - Blossom Hill Rd

Newly discovered Korean fried chicken place .. it was amazinggggg!!!! I had chicken wings for two back to back days from here..

I tried three flavors and all were great. The second day I ended up ordering some drums too which were a hit with my kid.. we got the soy garlic, the Korean BBQ and Yangnyeom. There is a subtle difference between all three of them so I honestly didn’t know which was which while eating them but can honestly say that ALL of them tasted incredible.

The lady who prepped my order was incredibly sweet and really helped me get my order ready. She even helped me get the right sauce as well as clean it up when it got messy. I know I am gonna be ordering from here soon over and over again!

Ordered chicken sandwich with fries. The chicken was very dry, and the fries were mushy and de-hydrated, almost as if they just reheated old fries. Their wings were too salty.

Bonchon on Kooser Rd delivers crispy, flavorful Korean-style fried chicken, making it a go-to spot for bold flavors. The soy garlic and spicy wings are standout choices, offering a satisfying crunch and rich seasoning. While the food quality is consistently good, wait times can be long during peak hours, and pricing is slightly higher than typical fast food. The casual dining atmosphere is welcoming, though seating can feel limited when the restaurant is busy.

Beyond the chicken, Bonchon offers a variety of Korean-inspired sides, such as kimchi coleslaw and pickled radish, which complement the meal well. The service is generally efficient, but during peak hours, staff may be stretched thin, leading to longer wait times for orders. Despite this, the quality and unique flavors make Bonchon a solid choice for those craving Korean fried chicken.

I ordered fried chicken wings and it did not disappoint and it made me order an extra rice.The pickled radish was so good I would order more of it it wasn’t much in the small plate which was $3 I also ordered teokboki it was spicier than I expected and it was not really chewy than I would prefer and the restaurant was really humid I just hope they put Ac.

Worst chicken ever.
This is not Korean chicken. Their chicken tastes terrible.
I had a problem ordering Korean chicken, so I waited for over an hour to get it, but it was so salty that I couldn't eat it. They didn't even add chicken and radish.
If you're going to make something like this, please leave out the word korean.

Great Korean food. A little pricey. They do have Korean beer and soju that pairs well with the spicy chicken. The following items are really good , pot stickers, seasoned fried, Korean street corn, chicken katsu, but the show stopper is the fried chicken. Wheel chair accessible and accomodating to our needs.

Wheelchair accessibility: Ramp that leads to the restaurant. They have movable tables and moved them for our friend with wheelchair.

I placed an order over the phone and asked for a 10 piece wing. The person I placed an order with told me they have a new chicken supplier and are no longer serving sizes at 10 etc. (now it’s 8, 16 etc pieces) but that it’s ok bc the “chicken is bigger”. It in fact is not, if anything it’s smaller. Bonchon has been hit with shrink inflation. 20 dollars for a snack size isn't worth it. Very lame :(
