This is a restaurant I really want to recommend to others! First, the portions are generous and the food is delicious! I had a meal there this time, and it was better than most snack bars. I even bought some chicken to take home and ate it for dinner and the next day, and it didn’t have any fishy smell and was still delicious. If you want to eat authentic Korean chicken and Korean food, I highly recommend you go there! Also, the owner and staff were very friendly, which made for a pleasant dining experience! Thank you!

It was my first time going to a Korean fried chicken restaurant, and this place did not disappoint! The service was great! I got their bulgogi fries and yang yum chicken. The sauce was savory and spicy, the perfect mixture of both. And the bulgogi fries were hot and crispy. I would definitely recommend and this is now my new favorite fried chicken restaurant! The portion sizes was great, and I couldn’t finish the fries.

I’m honestly shocked at how far Bonchon has fallen. This used to be one of our favorite spots, so much so that we drove 40 minutes just to eat here. And for what? Cold, stale food and a completely disappointing experience.
The chicken, which used to be crispy, juicy, and fresh, came out dry, chewy, and clearly not freshly made. The seasoned fries were even worse. They used to be amazing, garlicky, with real parmesan. Now they taste and smell like dirty feet with some weird yellow cheese dumped on top. Absolutely ridiculous for $11.99!
The restaurant itself is dirty, and the server never once came to check on how our food was. The new kiosk system only adds to the frustration it’s confusing and makes the service feel even more disconnected.
We are extremely disappointed. We wasted our time and money coming here, all because it used to be good. Sadly, after this experience, we won’t be coming back.

Ive been to many Bonchon’s and unfortunately this was the most lack luster one. The food was good, and staff nice enough, but the atmosphere was off, TV’s weren’t working, overall it felt like a ghost town. I feel the location plays a big part as it is hidden from the main road and even with GPS I didnt notice it until we were in front of it.

I ordered this time for pickup. Their food has gone down hill for a while and this is last time I eat there. The chicken strips were very dry and they changed the sauce to the point it had little flavor. Even considering it was pickup, they didnt have the crunchy shell/breading they used to have. It was also close to 90 bux for french fries, 18 count strips, and a 12 count mixed. I would suggest finding a local place that makes Korean fried chicken because this Bonchon is not even a shadow of what it used to be:

We arrived to the restaurant on Sunday 11am February 15,2026
We walked in no tables were set up the chairs were up on the booth seats. The guy said nobody was here yet to set upnthe dinning room. Then we had to order on a kiosk What? No wait staff either? We noticed the prices have gone up significantly just for two of us it was $50 why would I pay that for bad service and only 6 prices of chicken. We basically had to serve ourselves. The only thing we didnt have to do was cook it. We are very disappointed. We look forward to coming here at least once a month.
Its one thing to save money but not at the expense of your customers. We won’t be back

GOOD: Service was good, potstickers were tasty

BAD: Price paid for the quality, tacos were not as expected and mehh, street corn just tasted boiled.

I wanted to like Bonchon. I was at Centennial Park and figured give it a try. I can get great chicken wings in several spots, so I wanted to try something more uniquely “Korean.” I should have followed the masses and got wings or bullogi (sp) fries.

I was hoping the street corn with the mayo would be creamy and unique – after the first bite it tasted like corn you’d boil at home.

The tacos were okay – I ordered “fried chicken” expected a good crunch, like a chicken tender, no such luck. It tasted bland with no fry crunch at all. They also needed better draining. Every bite yielded a leaky mess.

The star of the show was the pot stickers – the sauce stood out but another item I can get for less.

Overall, I left spending 37.00 unsatisfied. If I returned, I’d stick to wings or the chicken sandwich, but competition is top notch for that at better prices.

This food here is borderline inedible. It appears to be staffed by teenagers who decide how much salt seasoning and cook time at random. I actually gave this place a one year break and then came back and it was the same amount of bad. So this review chronicles a long history of badness.

The chicken tenders are leathery and too salty. Last time I ordered salt literally came off on my fingers.

The chicken wings are edible but the worst example in the area. Try BBQ chicken or kokee tea for a much better experience.
