I understand the difference between flats and drumettes. What I was served were drumsticks(legs), not wings. Repeatedly.

Dismissing a recurring mistake as “customer confusion” doesn’t fix the issue. If cutting corners is part of your operation, then please don’t present yourselves as experts, and do this ”teaching” stuff.

Here is original post:
I usually quite like the chicken wings this brand and other dishes from this restaurant, but this time I just couldn’t tolerate it anymore.
I’ve ordered wings several times, but each time I received a mix of drumsticks and wings. Why do they have to be so stingy? Isn’t this considered fraud?!

Because I ordered pickup and delivery each time, I didn’t check the order until I got home, and I was really angry

Used to love this Korean chicken store a lot. However, I feel recently the flavor changed. The chicken wings are not seasoned well, not juicy and flavorful anymore. Disappointed. The soy garlic sauce flavor changed as well, I only tasted salty flavor.
Good thing is they could do half and half.

First time trying this Bonchon location.

I believe we ordered boneless wings? But not completely sure.

Also ordered a combo…which came with 3 drums, fries, and donut.

Chicken overall was good. Fries, I wish was a bit hotter. Donut was inedible. Definitely avoid it.

Lots of seating inside. Easy parking in the plaza.

$8.99 for corn cheese and the serving size is a JOKE. It doesn’t even taste good. got the original combo with wings and drumsticks and the cheese corn

The chicken had extreme salt/msg on outside and bland inside. The corn cheese was just a huge scam honestly

The soy garlic chicken strips are the best chicken I’ve had in my entire life. No exaggeration… This is literally the most delicious crispy, slightly sweet, yet savory chicken dish I’ve ever had in my entire lifetime. Mic drop. I can’t wrap my head around why anyone would give this less than five stars.

This is the best single meal I’ve had in over a year (and I’ve eaten in at least 50 restaurants in the last year).

This is my first visit to Bonchon Korean Fried Chicken Restaurant. I visited the one located in E. El Camino Real near Sunnyvale. It is tucked in a corner in a shopping strip. The ambience is mediocre but the food items were very delicious. I ordered Takoyaki (Octopus Dumplings) for starters, a plate of boneless chicken wings, Bull Dak and an order of Fries.
The chicken wings were very Juicy and flavorful a bit on the sweeter side for Soy Garlic flavor. The fries tasted fresh. The Bull Dak though advertised as spicy could use some more chilly heat and some extra mozzarella cheese but tasted good. The waiting staff were very friendly and the order was delivered to the table in a reasonable timeframe. Though I have not tried their other dishes like Bulgogi, Bonchon wrap, etc., overall, I give a thumbs up to this Korean Fried Chicken chain.

First time having Bonchon in Sunnyvale as I have only been to the Blossom Hill, San Jose, location before.

The service here was very friendly.

The food was okay but it just didn’t taste as good as my previous experience at the other location. Was also surprised that they don’t have fried rice at this location.

Wasn’t a bad experience, just wasn’t what I was looking forward to.

Had an ice cold beer and some of the best Korean chicken wings of my life. The service was great too, very attentive and friendly. I would definitely come back. Pro tip: order half the wings hot and the other half soy garlic flavor

Came to this place for the Korean Fried chicken as they have drumsticks on the menu. Ordered medium size that consists of 10 drumsticks. The taste is rather disappointing. I wanted the chicken to stay crispy so asked if I can have it without the sauce and whether it will still be tasty without the sauce. The server reassured me that it will be tasty with no sauce and they strictly do not serve the sauce on the side. Also ordered the Japchae noodles as well. The drumsticks tasted very bland and again I asked if we can have sauce since I really didn’t expect it to be tasteless. Another server reiterated that they can drizzle the sauce over it and my friend picked the soy garlic and yummy yum. The sauce added taste to the chicken but the soy garlic was awfully sweet. The other flavor was ok. Next came the Japchae noodles which literally tasted the same as the soy garlic sauce and was overtly sweet. It is one of the worst Japchae noodles I ever had. Anyway, I will definitely not return for the food.
I understand that the chicken needs to be prepared a certain way since it is a franchise/chain restaurant to keep to the consistency of what the brand is. But the taste of the sauce in this case definitely needs some adjustments. I’m a big fan of Korean food and Korean Fried Chicken. This to me is far from authentic. The chicken definitely needs to have sauce to taste better…but better sauce.
However, I like to mention that the staff at this location is very friendly which kind of made up for the bad tasting food. I would not recommend going there if you want authentic/good Korean Fried Chicken. There are other restaurant and I noticed they have 1 competitor right outside across the parking lot. I had wanted to try this brand though, especially since they have drumsticks on the menu that most places chose to remove from their menu.

For 2 people we got the 10 piece soy garlic drumsticks w/ sides of cole slaw, fries and the Korean tacos. We were beyond full! The drumsticks are super crispy and pretty big!

We were able to get seated right away on a Sunday for dinner. Atmosphere inside is pretty simple and lots of TVs inside. We’ll be back!
