Best Bonchon location hands down. Service is superb. Food was hot and delicious, staff were attentive but not annoying. I am a regular here and it's always on point.

I tried this place a couple times to give the benefit of the doubt. Both times were pretty much the same, sat at the bar, not even acknowledged, place an order using the QR code and done. No personal presences, and mediocre food. Buldak was flavorful but that was it - no veggies but with a side of American cheap rice. Second time around is to try the chicken wings with soy garlic were okay- about the same quality as Wingstop but twice the price. No sides so I get an order of the pork buns and again nothing great, it’s like a pork belly taco with some sesame oil and steamed bun dough cooked. This is a poor representation of true Korean cuisine and this place should be ashamed. Koreans are typically inviting and friendly with flavorful and bountiful food- this place is an uninviting dry location with an American greed mentality. In and out as quick as possible with as little effort and attention as possible. The only thing that maybe worth going for is the trivia night on Tuesday (if it’s still a thing).

Nifty liquor shop adjacent corner joint serving their world famous Korean chix wings in varying degrees of soy, ginger, garlic spiciness. From drum sticks, wings, sliders, chicken katsu, this place has got the fried chix market cornered. If that wasn’t enough, they also have your fav Korean staples for those wanting something besides chix, which is probably the most amazing thing besides what they already have. This is a place where you come for real food, fun vibes and good times.

I've been for lunch and dinner. The food is very good here. I haven't even tried their special dishes with fried chicken. Plenty of other tasty choices on the menu. The portions are large. You will have plenty of leftovers. So, the prices seem fair. I've had Japchae, Fried Rice, Coleslaw, Onion Rings, and Zucchini fries. They were all delicious. The staff are helpful and nice. We were there one night during a trivia contest. It was a bit too loud for me and not enjoyable. But, other than that it's a solid choice.

The location is great. The spacious seating areas are semi private which makes for uncluttered

have not ate yet and decided to leave a review on this app for the service. waitress seems to be a very well put together lady however she is forced to make us order on the app. with the mostly contactless service due to us having to order our own food on the app, along with three people eating together with the bill coming close to $100 i will say this place is a no go. i think this is just an overall rating for most places to eat out now. sad sad world.

I have been coming here since it opened almost 10 years ago. The food has always been delicious. I love the soy garlic flavor. The chicken is moist, and the crispiness of the chicken is amazing. My family loves the spicy chicken, and it delivers on the spice!!

Satisfied my late night chicken cravings here! This is a casual eatery with bar seating available. Service might feel slow, but be patient with the chicken - it's worthwhile! We started off with takoyaki - not bad. Then the holy grail of the evening finally came: Crispy, hot, juicy, and tender chicken coated in a delightful soy garlic glaze! The sweet tanginess of the accompanying pickled radish cut into the heaviness of the fried chicken. Their KFC hits the spot!

I visited this location and ordered 8 wings with French fries. I picked up my order and my fries was cold and wings was lukewarm. I called and spoke to the manager Rob. He was very rude and stated after speaking with pick up staff he couldn’t refund me my money. He can only redo my fries and give me a beverage that’s all he could do.This is very disappointing and I will no longer support this establishment.

first things first, i've never been to a bonchon with a bar, let alone serve cocktails so i was too excited to dine here because i know they got good chicken, great chicken in fact. the vibe was great and chill- i believe we came on a saturday afternoon and it was kind of empty but that changed once we left. anyways, the bulgogi rice is why im typing out this review. i don't need to say anymore beyond that, just order it. you're welcome!

Food was good although everytime I've eaten here I've gotten terrible food poisoning and thrown up so hard I pass out.
