The chicken katsu is really good and the kids love the potstickers. Prices are good and the service is quick. There’s inside and outdoor dining and often times movies outside. This is a great place for a quick, simple family dinner.

Food here was pretty good. I liked the steak tacos. The coleslaw taste pretty good as well.Chicken wings was offered in two flavors. Soy Garlic and hot. Then a mix between the two. The server warned that the hot was pretty spicy. So went with the Garlic flavored and was pretty tasty. A little ok the saltier side.The service here was great! Nice seating indoors and also some benches outside as well. Would recommend the steak tacos!

Great food, and as busy as they were on a Friday night still great service. We were seated very quickly and got to order soon after. The meals that were recommended on the menu really hit the spot. The wings were also really good. There is a bar inside if you feel like having a fun time. The Soy Garlic sauce was also very tasty.

Second time in a Week! This time for dinner. Atmosphere was busy yet calm. Most of the picnic tables outside where full. We just had to come back and get more of this delicious chicken. Service was great as usual. Server was very attentive even though it was getting busy. We got The takoyaki for an appetizer. So good. Best I've had on the East Coast so far. For our main we shared a order of kimchi bacon /egg fried rice. Just the right amount of kimchi and bacon flavor. The Star as always was the soy garlic fried chicken. We had been craving it since Friday. Lol. Seriously it's so freaking good. My girlfriend got the 4pc drumsticks and I got the 10pc wings. Our new favorite friend chicken. Hands down. Lemme tell you they even heat up crispy when you taken them home and have them as left overs the next day. It's unreal! Get this Chicken ... ASAP .

Had a really special experience today at Bonchon! Great atmosphere, Anthony was my server and what a great guy! Attentive and sweet, just made my day to be here! Thanks Anthony, and thanks Bonchon!!

Their operations aren't great. They seem to prioritize food delivery orders and don't care about in-store customers. Waiters are just standing there watching a cellphone all time. They forgot my order and wasted my 30 minutes until I reminded. 1-star experience.Although - I do want to give +1 star because the chicken tastes really good.

Quite good service and very good food. I recommend lunchtime menu for bargain!Update a year later: 5 stars for certain! Soy ginger wings great; seasoned Parmesan fries fantastic; tofu salad excellent; draft beer very well poured :) And 5 star quality, personable service.

I want to give a huge thank you to Anthony for taking care of me while here. Not only did he answer all of my questions, his interpersonal skills are unmatched. What a great server! Would definitely recommend this place.

Ate there the other day with a coworker for the first time , the chicken is phenomenal ! Our server Anthony with tattoos was amazing and recommended a lot of great options and was attentive to our table when we were in a hurry and needed our check. Will be returning again

The fried chicken was good but it's the only thing saving the review. the bulgogi felt like 20% meat, 80% veggies, and the Tteokbokki was a straight up disappointment. It tasted like nothing, the sauce was so watered down, we couldn't eat it. If you're coming for the chicken then great choice! The bulgogi did taste good, but it was not a lot of meat compared to when I go to other Korean places.

Modified rating to reflect todays experience. Only one individual working the entire dining room. Also, they were not honoring the lunch special “due to holiday” of MLK day. Shady business practice in my opinion. David is also no longer at this location, so below review is no longer valid to what you may experience.Customer service was great. David has been our server the past couple of times and he really is an outstanding worker that pays attention to detail and makes sure his customers have a great experience. If you have a baby get them rice ? and fries ? and they are good to go. The Bone in wings are amazing and they have this crunch that would make you slap your mama. The Wings are a must try. Trust me even if you like boneless try that bone in. Getting take out wings are just as good as eating in(Uber Eats). Lunch specials are very affordable in price and you get a good amount of food.

The service was amazing, incredibly nice and friendly. The dak bull was incredibly good and slightly spicy. Everyone's favorite was the fried rice.

The wings used to be great. They are cooking chicken leg drumsticks and charging you the same price as a chicken wing drumstick. Chicken legs are huge and tough. Eating a chicken leg is almost like eating a Turkey leg. It’s still seasoned with the same Bon Chon gloriousness but it just doesn’t taste the same since the meat is tough and dense. It’s disappointing that they have started to cut corners and still charge a pretty penny. I’d give it 5 stars for the flavor but 2 stars for the deception.

Great place on Franklin Street. Have been here twice and the food was great both times. I will be back again for sure.

Great table service and appears to be a full bar as well. Everyone raves about the fried chicken but I felt the main dishes were outstanding. So full of flavor. The spicy sauce for pot stickers or wings is no joke hot, like oil flavor
