Reviews
Service was great though.
We ordered:
1. Bulgogi fries – I was surprised how good it was. I wasn’t expecting much since they are known for their chicken.
2. Potstickers – Crunchy and soft in the middle. I love how they drizzle the sauce on top.
3. Popcorn shrimp – of course, the shrimp was not the biggest, but it was so addictive. Something about the batter being crunchy and chewy, once you eat one, you can’t stop.
4. House fried rice (bulgogi) – very flavorful, but the rice was a little too sticky to my liking and a little too sweet.
5. Korean Fried Chicken with soy glaze – Alwaus got you smacking. It’s so crunchy and not overly saucey. This goes great with the pickled radish.
6. Korean donuts – I don’t know why, but I had high expectations. I was disappointed. It was just a regular sugar doughnut. I was expecting it to be chewier, like with rice flour. If you’re thinking about it, don’t bother. It’s not worth the price.
Overall, you can never go wrong with going here.
The omurice $14 was meh. I don’t think they know what an omurice is. Bonchon’s version is fried rice with an egg on top. It is supposed to be an omelette with fried rice inside. It does take some skills to create this dish correctly with the thinness of the egg sheet and obviously not present at this location. The fried rice was a bit soggy. This needs improvement. My suggestion would be to have different options for this dish and make it correctly as an omelette dish. How about adding a demi-glace or white sauce option to make it more Asian? Yellow basmati or orange taco rice would be great too. Bonchon would be printing money if they had that.
Updated review 8/8/2023: My friend told me about the new “Korean BBQ” flavor at Bonchon and I came over to try it. It was delicious. Since it was just me this time, I only ordered the small combo (6 wings, 3 drumsticks) $16.55. It was sweet with a hint of BBQ flavor. There’s something special about that signature Bonchon crunch, made from overly thick batter. Surprisingly, there weren’t any weird oil aftertaste that linger after eating a meal accustomed with oily fried foods. I did drink a lot of water though. Well done staff at Bonchon. Again. I do love their fried chicken.
Original review: 8:45pm on a Friday night. The chicken crispiness varies by Bonchon locations. This one ranks in the middle. My friends say the downtown SF location is the crispiest. We ate at the restaurant so, it is not due to to-go lead time. I never knew Bonchon had table service. We usually ordered to-go or eat outside at their San Mateo location. We started with a large soju $20 and a blue moon beer $5.50. Most of the soju favors were out so we resorted to mango. The soju was not strong and contained mostly juice. The wait time goes by faster because there are TV’s and alcohol. For the starters, we got the popcorn shrimp $12.75 and zucchini fries $8.55. These were OK. They weren’t flavorful. I would have preferred some popcorn chicken from Quickly’s but they were not taking orders after 8:30pm. For the main dish, we ordered medium combo half and half $30. We asked for extra spicy and Bonchon did not disappoint. The fried chicken was great. So crispy! Some of the soy garlic chicken was too salty though. Service was alright. This meal put big smiles across our faces 🙂
Had the small combo with half spicy and half garlic soy. The drumsticks varied in size quite a bit, some were truly enormous. The crispy outer coating did an excellent job of sealing in the juiciness of the meat. Both sauces were tasty though I preferred the spicy one.
Also had an order of the pork belly buns… Very Americanized flavor, not savory enough to balance out the sweetness. Plus the buns were cold and a bit unpleasant.
Good for an occasional hankering for KFC, the other options I’ll take a pass in the future.
