Chicken Wings near Waltham

“Solid option for Korean wings in Waltham.

Never been a huge Bonchon fan, but I like coming here for the lunch specials. Bonchon isn’t particularly big in Korea (in fact, the first one I ever tried was in New York), but given the options around Boston, this place ends up being a good choice. BBQ Chicken (the only major Korean chain actually from Korea in MA) doesn’t offer lunch specials, and their quality has dipped recently in some Boston locations. So whenever I’m in Waltham, I like to come in here.

The lunch specials at Bonchon offer excellent value. Eight wings or four drumsticks (or a mix) plus a side for $13. Flavor-wise, my go-to is soy garlic. It gives you the crispiest exterior out of all their sauces. For spice, I prefer their newer Korean yangnyeom over the Korean BBQ as it has more heat and a cleaner balance.

Since Bonchon uses a relatively thin batter and their sauces run pretty strong, I actually prefer the drumsticks over the wings. The extra meat helps balance out the sauce, and the texture stays more consistent.

Probably not the best Korean fried chicken out there, but for really good value meals, I recommend giving them a try.“

“I give it 4 stars clean and friendly staff.“

“This was my second time eating at this KFC. The first was so unpleasant, I didn't want 2 go back. But in all honesty, that first time was several years ago. So, I took another chance and went back hoping it was under new management. I don't know if it is but I was hungry and didn't feel like cooking. I noticed the front area was rearranged so maybe they are under new management. In any event, the staff were very personable and helpful. I always look 4 a smile and I wasn't disappointed. I got a 2 piece chicken w/mashed potatoes and gravy. I like dark meat so I had a chicken leg. I was disappointed; it was cooked 2 long making it taste horrible. People have 2 learn how 2 fry chicken. It doesn't take much especially if it's deep fried. The leg tasted like card board not that I have eaten card board. On the other hand, my second piece of chicken was part of the thigh and that was very tasty. The mashed potatoes w/the gravy was also tasty. So, in short, I will try them one more time but this time I will check the chicken before I leave. Popeye's chicken is the only place that I can say really knows how 2 cook chicken.“

“These guys get a lot of bad reviews for some reason, but I've ordered several times and the service and quality has never let me down. I feel like when people have a good experience here, they don't feel compelled to rate them here. Figured I should. Thumbs up!“
