Hey guys what's up with the soy garlic Chicken wings?? They are awful recently, the sauce is super mild and not enough flavor, you probably changed the recipe or some cost cutting. I gave it a second try but not any more for the high price.

Hands down the best Korean fried barbecued chicken in the Bay Area! Banchan in San Mateo blew me away — perfectly crispy, juicy chicken with a rich glaze that hits all the right notes. The flavors are bold but balanced, and the sides (especially the pickled radish and kimchi) complement the meal beautifully. Service was fast and friendly, and the place was spotless. I’ve been craving it ever since. Highly recommend for anyone who loves Korean BBQ or just amazing fried chicken.

Ordered a chicken burger. The chicken was half the size of the buns.

The takoyaki and non-spicy chicken wings were delicious. The waiter always filled us water in huge jars.

This place hits the spot for some sweet/spicey fried chicken but my goodness it is an expensive luxury, $30 (before tip) for 4 drumsticks and fries

The portion of the food was very small. Bibimbap was cold and had very tiny pieces of scrambled eggs. The food wasn’t bad. It’s just disappointingly under expectations.

We love their fried chicken, and bao buns. Street corn good too. It's simple but the staff is so kind and friendly and the manager Jennifer is amazing! She fixed something for us quickly and we will keep returning.

Boneless is not boneless thigh, it’s boneless breast. Korean fried chicken should not be like this.

Definitely one of the worst Korean fried chicken I have ever had. The house fried rice was mediocre too. One of the servers was very friendly and caring though!

Normally Bonchon is great! However, I just ordered Korean Street Corn from Uber Eats and the only thing I got was the corn. It's just corn. There wasn't a good way to provide feedback through Uber, so here it is.

Great place for Korean fried chicken. The pieces are pretty generous and the flavorings are delicious. Really friendly staff who make you feel welcomed. Spicy sauce option has a strong kick to it.
