★★★★★ 5.0 Michele Ford · Oct 2025

I am a big fan of Bonchon- never disappoints. Delicious Korean fried chicken!

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Tyler Hickey · Nov 2025

I want to like this place so much as I live up the street. The first two times, it was so good. Japchae has gone significantly downhill. I got it tonight and it was almost one noodle. No sauces with the katsu, wings were medium, tasted like they’re under a lamp for an awhile. I never want to put a place down. However, coming from someone that lives up the street, please be better.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Kim Chi Ngo · Oct 2025

Server was great. Atmosphere was fine. Its a bon chon ya know? Its casual, theres a TV playing anime and another TV playing something else. My chicken was sooooooooo dry. We didnt finish our food and we didnt take it home. As we were leaving we saw someone else get their chicken and it looked fresher. So it seems like the chicken is sometimes good, but inconsistent.

★★★★★ 5.0 Nicci Y · Nov 2025

Great food. Wonderful service. Bibimbap pretty close to the taste we enjoyed in Korea. Udon noodle soup warms the soul! Food came out quickly. Highly recommend to anyone in the area.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Dylan Andrews · Jan 2026

Great fried chicken in my opinion, but not the best. I like the plain boneless wings the best so far and this was the 2nd time going. Hostess was extremely rude when taking my order.
