I want to give this place more stars just on quality of food alone...
But I've got to be honest.
I ordered takeout Bibimbap and was denied multiple meat options as if my money wasn't valid, but double meat was ok... After spending $23 including a double meat upcharge it looked like the tray was 2/3 full and the meat portion seemed more like 1.25 than the requested double. Canned mushrooms not fresh.
No sauce option for a stir fry order?
When I paid there was a noticable change in character when a tip wasn't visible...
Fun fact:
Tips are for good service.
I wasn't there for the cashier who rang me out I was there because of the chef and his skills.
If I could tip the chef directly I would!
Again, amazing quality food. Just not a lot for the price.

Chicken isn’t true KFC. Want additional sauce? It’s not available or you have to pay extra since they didn’t sauce your wings well enough from the get-go.

Tonight I went there with my family. What a wonderful food we had over there. It is becoming one of our favorite restaurants around the area to spend time together. The garlic soy and the BBQ chicken are the winners. Crispy, soft and at the right temperature to eat at the time you get it on your table. We got a couple extra sides of spicer sauce and they were incredible! Fabrizio, the GM and Dana, our server were super kind with us. Great team! Outstanding service and whatever we were needing on the table it was on time. Personally, I enjoyed a couple fresh cold beers. My mom loves the fried rice there. Also they are so kind with the kids. My niece got a couple gifts and her milk in a plastic cup with lid. For real, I'm posting this review so grateful about their food and the special service we got today. Keep it going there! And if you are reading this, let's try one of my favorite restaurants in the area!

Very good Korean fried chicken. Various types and sauces, all good. Worth trying.
Favorite place to visit Monday and these 1 dollar wings can't go wrong
Really awesome place, super yummy and fresh. Loved that they do lunch specials and a limited dollar deal. Service is great, super cute vibe, I got 12 wings and it was super filling. All the sauces are amazing. Definitely will go back again. Every wing is jumbo sized and breaded.

Stir-fried udon with bulgogi is good.
Chicken katsu was ehhh. Wouldn't recommend given bonchons just has better options.
Korean corndog was also mid. The mozzarella on the inside needed to be melted a bit more, but if they did that, the potato on the outside would probably be burnt. Idk how other Korean corndog places do it. Also, I chose to get it rolled in sugar cinnamon, but couldn't taste any cinnamon and the sugar was a bit light.
Update: Tried the cheesy bulgogi rice. Liked it. Good ratio of ingredients that blended well together. Not too overly cheesy.
Also tried the bulgogi tteokbokki. It's passable, but just not what I'd typically want.
very good food and good service, I recommend it

Dana is a very good server, and she made sure everything was okay! Service was exceptional. Also the food was very good. I was really surprised that the place was a bit empty for what it offers. I will definitely be back!

Ordered half and half tenders for takeout. Food came out fast, as in 5-10 minutes. Like some of the other reviews said, it was pretty clear why the dredge was so thick. They most likely refried a bunch of leftovers. Never had Korean fried chicken that tasted like this before, and not in a good way.

Bonchon is always a dope place for me since the food is always bomb! But! The waitress Dani (if I’m not mistaken is her name ) she made the whole night even better with her vibes and amazing services🙏.
I want her to be my server everytime I’m there!
