REVIEWS OF Bonchon Chicken IN Illinois

David Merkel

They make delicious Korean, American, and Korean - American fusion food. Their chicken wings are particularly good. They're cooked twice to a crisp perfection. Just be aware that they take 30 minutes to make. Parking is free, the service is good, and the place has the feel of a sports bar.

Maxine Bickerstaff

The one on 40 is better. Both locations are always dry to us, but they won't give you extra sauce because they are freaked out that someone will steal the recipe, so they take it in the back and "paint" it on, srsly. They never paint enough. also, no half orders, so if you are dining for one, you are still getting 10 big pieces and it's not great heated up the next day. Twice, I've had mouthwatering, juicy. wonderful chicken pieces, but more than that, small and dry pieces. the salmon ball is to die for!

Anshika Sharma

Absolutely love the food!! It’s always so so good. Service is always quick. Staff is very friendly. I don’t know of anyone who doesn’t like their wings. The few Korean dishes I’ve tried have been really good as well. I have recommended them to a few people and everyone seems to really like the food.

Deborah Montgomery

We really like the food, but always get carry out. It's too loud for me to enjoy sitting to eat here.

Carlos betty ramirez

HORRIBLE SERVICE!! THE OWNER "ROBERT"WAS THE RUDEST PERSON BY FAR I HAVE ENCOUNTERED. DO NOT GO HERE! SAVE YOUR MONEY!

Michael Wong

Have ordered carry out from here many times and the quality is consistently subpar. The service alone makes us cringe. We’ve called in the order 2-3 hours AHEAD of pickup time and still had to wait 20-30 minutes when we get there. The last time, our food had been sitting right next to the cashier for 5-10 minutes. He had told me to sit down and wait until it was ready. Why am I waiting when it’s right next to you? Today, our food was again on the counter next to the cashier for 5 minutes and I was standing right in front of him. Never an apology when I brought this issue up to him either. We’ll be finding a new location or dropping BonChon all together from now on.

Great fried chicken and atmosphere

Chuan-Jiang Yu

This bonchon chicken located inside a small shipping center, not easy to see it from the street, but it always has lots of people eat inside. Parking lot is descent size if you drive into that shopping center, and is free. Teast of chicken is unique. Worth to try.

Brandon Eble

These are some of my favorite wings to get. The recipe is true to the wings you get in Seoul. I have told several people about the chain, and they are hooked too. Glad it made its way to Chicago from the east coast!

Michael Morgen

I had lunch here off their lunch special menu. Price seemed reasonable (under $10) for lunch and dinner portions around $12-$15. Atmosphere and music were modern and enjoyable. Servers were attentive and food came quickly and was delicious. Their wings here are really good and perfectly cooked. Had the tofu Bi Bim Bap bowl and it was good, the tofu was a little under seasoned but beside that this place is awesome. I will defiantly be back for a casual lunch or dinner.

G MS

Love their Lunch Combo!

Andy Man

I love the sesame chicken wings. Also try the Korean taco. Yummy. Long wait for the food.

kyutima

Wings seem smaller than the ones at Chinatown but the sauces are the same. Ordered the lunch special today. They didn’t give any radish, so I asked for some and when I paid I realize they charged me. In Chinatown when you order wings they give you free radish even if it’s a lunch special! If you’re craving Korean wings I would recommend going to the one in Chinatown instead, but if you can’t then this location is an inferior substitute.

K.L. Clark

The food is fantastic if you're in the mood for great chicken. The overall ambiance is great, nice aesthetic going on. The staff was also very attentive and kind to the large group I was with. Definitely recommend.

Saber Wuf

The strips are the best! Double fried goodness! Yumm

Azman Azman

The rudest and the worst customer service from the front desk guy ROBERT. I'll never visit the restaurant again.

Kenny Song

Aggressively average Korean food and mediocre service.

Alyssa Galaro

I love BonChon and this location is no exception. It's a little difficult to find because it's just off the highway and isn't visible from the main road.

Smackin' on all levels. Great food, Beautiful decor, chill neighborhood. Great vibe for business, entertaining guests, or a first date.

F you like your chicken with a crispy coating this is the place. However there is something strange about the the coating it is almost like a balloon around the meat. Do not get me wrong I really like the flavor and texture. I will receive mend and return. Staff was very friendly.

rodney blake

Great place, great service and the food is always satisfying.

Andrew Peterson

The chicken wings were great. They were cooked well. I don't think I can go to places like buffalo wild wings again without being disappointed in the wings. The fries were also good. They gave us two free orders of them by mistake. The service does take a little longer, so make sure you don't go during a work lunch break.

John Eberman

Outstanding! Some of the best food I've had this year. It has some standard dishes with a Korean twist. The menu is not overly large but contains something for everyone. There were 7 of us and everybody ordered something different. The chicken was great. The wings, drumsticks and tenders were quite crispy on the outside but tender and juicy on the inside. The spicy sauce had a good kick to it. The Bonchon sauce was just a bit salty for me but had good flavor. One of the sides available is pickled daikon which I highly recommend. The soups were delicious with plenty of veggies. The ramen were fresh and silky. The marinated beef slice dishes were also excellent. The kimchee as a side was a great accompaniment. Prices were very reasonable. Service was quite quick even though they were busy. A fabulous place for lunch or dinner just west of Woodfield mall on Golf road (Illinois 58). Free parking and wheelchair accessible.

Michael Damato

Antonia Asimis

Yummy we stopped in after theater in the area and were pleasantly surprised. Our server was very nice and our food was very tasty. Shrimp shumai and bibimbap were great. We also really loved the salmon avocado. Will definitely return.

Joe Stanek

Priscilla Park

Perhaps I failed to notice this while dining the other night, but when I warmed up my ddukbokki this morning, I found something stuck halfway in the rice cake. Looked like a piece off a steel sponge. I was immediately appalled. I enjoy Bonchon, but will not be returning to the Ellicott City location. Steel is not edible. Absolutely unacceptable.

Catalina Willarson

Marjorie Easley

This is their second Chicago location. I was surprised to find that it is a bit less casual than the Chinatown location, but it makes sense knowing the neighborhood. I think the Chinatown location is a bit better. But it was still good. I like to order the chicken strips spicy and ginger soy. They do not have a lot of vegetarian options- but the steamed buns and chicken is good. They also do not serve dessert. This location does, however, serve alcohol. I would come here again because of convenience, but I would prefer to go to Chinatown because it is slightly better.

My family and I ate there this afternoon, we had the soy garlic and the sweet crunch chicken, bulgogi tacos, fries and pot stickers. The service was good but the food was to expensive. The soy garlic chicken, pot stickers and bulgogi tacos was good but the sweet crunch chicken tasted medicinal. The fries had a good flavor but was super greasy and the tacos didn't have enough bulgogi beef.

Trust me, This place is awesome! The Soy Garlic Tenders will not disappoint. It is flavorful and scrumptious. I haven’t had anything else from here, but if it’s not broke....make sure to ask for extra sauce on the chicken!

Denise Wilkerson

Korean food is not even close to being one of my favorite types of food, but this place can fry a mean chicken. The strips take less time to cook, so if time is of the essence, try the boneless rather than the bone-in, but do try them. I ordered the japchae, my mum the bibimbap. We were both well pleased withour food although intolerances meant I had to remove some of my vegetables, and I would have liked a few more. The bibimbap was served in a sizzling crock that continued to sizzle and gave the rice a nice crispy crust on the bottom. The service was prompt and very courteous and I would not hesitate to go here again.

Elizabeth Edwardson

Really good chicken strips!

There's no one to watch it was funny you say it was funny that I have a few things I would do anything to make conversation I am I supposed be there at a friend's mom and I will not have to be in a good way by which is a little bit and I thought I would rather go with you and I hope to see what the hell are there any updates to the gym now and you have a good night sleep I have to do a little sleep late for you guys I think r I have a whap notes on to the next one after that I will be able and then you can just come in a bit of a drive for me to get a consistent basis of the day and woke up at like a good plan I have to go get my AWESOME MATTRESS the best way it's more than a few minutes late to get the kids together and I will not have to do the same thing as you can see from my account and it seems to the gym and then I will be able to make conversation I am sending my resume to this mail is regarding the job opening in the morning and I will not be able and willing to do the do first quarter of the way and I will be there

Sat at the bar. Clean good atmosphere and decoration - tv's for sports. But I waited 24 minutes after ordering to receive my chicken katsu. Others who were seated and ordered after me got their food before I did. It wasn't the servers fault - the woman acting as expediter didn't make my order a priority and maybe forgot to fire it. Rice was good. But plain. Chicken cutlet was a bit dry and not enough brown sauce. Not really special or worth going back to. Restaurant was a third full and i waited more than 20 minutes for a flash fried chicken breast on rice.

Kat McGonigle

Amazing chicken and bulgogi! Nice atmosphere as well.

Abdul Muizz

Worst customer service Rude front desk guy Robert have to idea what he is doing. I'm a GrubHub driver I visit tons of restaurants everyday. I've never seen a worst service like this

Abrianna Kennebrew

This place has the most amazing chicken I’ve ever had. The bulgogi rice is fantastic, the potstickers are amazing. The wait is short and the staff are pretty nice too. I absolutely love coming here.

Steve Carlson

The new Sweet Crunch flavor is the bomb diggity! Excellent atmosphere. Not enough parking for the restaurant when there's people visiting the nearby stores.

Shereen Mo

I love their chicken. So flavorful and juicy!! Especially their drumsticks! This location is much bigger than the one in China town. Decor is nice, very clean and service was awesome.

Rasta Reid

Timo Rees

Nice place with great korean food.

Ashley Campbell

Great food great vibes super attentive staff and best of all liquor of all kinds!!! Definitely bringing back the Fam to eat and I live all the way in Pennsylvania!!!

Edison Rios

This place is my preferable place. Of all restaurants I know I like it most. I never miss an opportunity to go to visit this restaurant. when I feel like having a delicious supper, this restaurant comes immediately to my mind. outstanding and all sorts of food and a rich menu.courteous crew, and great atmosphere. Also, the tariff is reasonable. I sent my friends to this place with no doubt.

Mashfiqur Rahman

Scott Stem

Food and service is always great. The manager is always there and very hands on. Music is a little loud.

Carey Ahr

All chicken should be served this way. Lovely crispy breading, and the soy garlic and spicy sauces are excellent.

Jeffrey Schultz

Great atmosphere, good food, but wings are better than strips!

Leslie Cates Schauer

Little pricey but so yummy.and just like being in Busan.

Jacob Brumley

My favorite place to eat in the whole world. Try the soy garlic wings

Luna Huynh

I called in to order a pick-up, I ordered 20 wings. I asked if they can put 10 wings in one box and other 10 wings in another box. The receptionist say " I can't do that." I'm just freeze for a second. Then, I asked if they can give me an extra box. He say " I will try." I'm confused with the receptionist. I do not understand why they cannot seperate 20 wings in different boxes.

Frank Bianco

Good food and fast service.

Christina Wolfe

No frills decor but food was really good!

Enid Rivera

Very good great fried chicken

Jessalyn DeJesus

I've been going here at least once a week for years. Always nice staff and great food and drinks! A+

Lynn Holthaus

Excellent food and service. The place had boxes everywhere so it lost a star there. Bathroom was also not clean.

Ryan S

The food is excellent but the wait is always long and the behavior of some of the younger male staff is quite juvenile. Great choice if you want to call an hour ahead for pickup

Sarah Houston

I love, love, love the food here. I've never once been disappointed. Their fried chicken is by fat the best I've had anywhere and the flavors are delightful.

E. Campbell

Shawn Bowser

Amazing! Love the lunch time special. The staff is super nice and friendly every time we call or go. If I could eat this every day I would. My only complaint would be that they don’t deliver and grub hub and other food delivery services don’t work with them yet

Amanda Ko

Overpriced and small portions. They also messed up my order.

Jayanth Kandukuri

Nice ambiance and good food. Good place for dine-in with friends and family alike.

Andrew Downing

Was not impressed with this location. I eat Bonchons in Stapleton all the time and it is amazing. I spent $140 for food that tasted old. I told my friends how amazing Bonchons was and all of us were left with a giant disappointment and plenty of wings left uneaten. My friends will not be returning! However the waitress was very nice!

hinestieko

If you want soggy garbage smelly food come here! The manager is very defensive. I only had a spoonful of it and paid and left. He didn’t want to change it.

Petal Bailey

Try the soy garlic wings and the Korean tacos! You won't be disappointed.

Aatir Nayati

If I could comeback as anything after I die, the chicken wings from Bonchon would be it.

Sam Glewwe

Food is amazing, but check your orders before you leave. Have made a long drive home only to be missing items a couple times

M. N. Crowder

Wings are amazing. My favorite location.

Phil Davis

food couldn’t taste better, but a little on the pricey side

Kent Rigby

One of our group got something other than what she ordered. She chose not to say anything. Right before we left a roach crawled up the wall beside our table. The place is looking kind of run down. We won't be back.

Karl Schmidbauer

John Sorci

Great spot for amazing Korean fried chicken. My previous favorite spot in the city was Crisp, but I think Bonchon is better! The prices are reasonable, and they have a pretty large menu, but the fried chicken is a must!

Sharon S. King

messafredo caranbriel

The Japchae is loaded with meat! Calamari is good and the chicken is crunchy yummy!

Tien Le

This location is great, the food is always consistent and delicious. This is by far one of the better location in the state. Waiters have always been nice and friendly. Making me feel welcome and comfortable. The menu is user friendly, not crammed with stuff so very easy on the eyes and easy to make a decision. The only downside to this location is the selection of non-alcoholic drinks and seating can be tough to get. So be prepared to wait for a seat. Overall highly recommend this location.

Aaron Smith

Their chicken is good but the portions are so small for the price that I can't recommend it over Crisp. Crisp is a far better value... Portions are larger and the chicken is much better.

Tierra Thorp

The food is good but overpriced on some items. I love the rice but I noticed yesterday they gave us just enough rice for 2 people with no room for seconds but a few weeks ago we took our two kids and we all had rice with plenty to take home. If your gonna play with the portion play with the $13.97 price. Also, we ordered strips but received wings and had to wait another 30mins for the right order but by then was ready to go. We asked for boxes and the young lady offered to take it and box it, got home to realize that she took back the pickled radish that came with the order. I'm just praying they didn't serve it to anyone else but would also like to know why she felt the need to take it back?

Went for lunch on Friday - I couldn’t get over how quiet it was. As normal for any Bonchon location, the chicken was fantastic and they do a great lunch special. They currently have beers on the menu but no wine or liquor. The staff were pleasant and the space was clean.

Kristine Parbuoni

The wings are crispy and delicious

V.a S.

Joe Daniel

Growing pains. I've had them try charging me for dinner prices for lunch items and the other time they just opened and couldn't serve food for an hour to change their oil. Not winning me over

Mike Bergman

Love the food here. The chicken takes a bit but worth the wait. Also the other dishes are great too. I like the Korean tacos and the bimbimbop.

Tara Kadar

Dana S

Had heard great things about the chicken here, unfortunately it was rather dry, and didn't live up to the hype.

Sean Marschke

Chicken is so crispy and delicious. Kim-chi and bacon fried rice and pork buns are great, too!

Earl Stevens

Great service and food. Loved both the garlic soy and spicy chicken.

Listrum Brooks

The food is always good we need one in pa they would kill bonchon down there cause nothing tastes good in pa unless your at a fair

Veerit Ubolkaew

Fabulous food and drink as expected for bonchon chicken are good but lacking quantity on sauce coating chicken result in some what bland chicken. Understaff waiter make service really slow. Good fried and onion ring but that not really a main focus here.

I.E. Xam

Really good soy garlic wings and drumsticks. Service was ok.

Kuma Folmsbee

さいちょう

Chicken always good, the food does take a bit but it is made to order. The waiter forgot our side of coleslaw but after eating everything we ordered, it didnt matter because they didn't charge us for it and we were full. The location is in a weird area to drive into so that was a struggle. Also there wasnt too much seating so itd be better to have smaller parties.

Adnan Baleh

Amazing chicken!! Bonchon has lots of options. The seasoned fries are great and the bulgogi is very good. However, the bonchon chicken is to die for. It's crispy and glazy at the same time. The flavor is amazing and the texture makes it an experience. Definitely recommend both sweet and spicy flavors, you won't regret it

Angela Crowley

John Logoyda

Soy garlic wings - 5/5. Spectacular. Spicy wings - 5/5. Too spicy for me, but my BiL says they're amazing; spicy but tasty, as opposed to Buffalo Wild Wings which try to be hot without flavor. Bibimbop - 5/5. Two of us ordered versions of this, and both were excellent.

Meghana Raja

The Korean friend chicken here is so good! The lunch special is also a fantastic deal. I only ate half the chicken for one meal so I had another full meal left over. And it stayed crispy!

marion stewart

The food is excellent! Love the bibimbop!

Enna Gurung

Their place has one of the best chicken that I've had. (And I've had a lot of chicken). They have unique flavors one being soy garlic and one that's very spicy. The spicy one is a little tooo much for me but lots of my friends enjoy it. It's funny to see them eat a ton and see them struggle with it. They give free cubes radishes to help with the heat. They also have a lot of side items such as sliders,takoyaki,pork buns, etc. Other than the chicken here they have the normal korean food such as tteokboki ,japchae, etc. It is a really nice place to bring your friends and have a good time. It can be pretty pricey with 20 piece wings are about $30 but worth the price for how good they are. The environment within bonchon is also very nice. When you walk in the first thing you'll notice is the GIANT projector they have up on one of the walls. Sometimes itll play kpop mvs, lyric videos, or sports from what I've seen. They also have booths alone the sides of the building and tables in the middle. I do believe you can also call ahead to get a table ready if you have a large party. They also have a big bar in here with their own TVs at the bar. Bonchon also does to-go which can be very conevniant for me and my friends sometimes if we cant sit down. I would also like to add and say that they do take a while for the food to come out. Unless you get one of the sides/starters it sometimes feels like you are waiting forever for the chicken to come to your table,but once it does its the best feeling since you can smell the delicious flavor and just cant wait to just eat it. I usually go to the ellicott city one and they've been doing great. The service is great. They somehow always refill my drinks without me even realizing. All the people their are really nice,attentive and they usually always look like they are happy with what they are doing.

Sarah White

Really tasty food and good service. I would go back and share it with friends.

Kayla Serrano

korean food and the setting at this location is excellent. good place to catch up with friends. it has an awesome feel to it.

Kiah Yoo

The chicken is so crispy and delicious! You can sit down or carry out!

Kristofer Wilhelmsen

Styves Exantus

Since I love chicken wings and literally have had wings in over 100 establishments and homes combined ... this is top 10. It’s nice setting with a big screen projector of a major game and a few other TVs. It’s a smaller restaurant but open with high ceilings and a bar. You can get your typical drinks but if you are Korean place you gotta get some Soju of which they have a nice selection of flavors. It’s made to order so not fast food but worth the wait. I think they have the best tasting chicken but could use a few more flavor wings. There’s only 2 and no plain. That’s my only gripe as to why I feel as tho it’s not a 5 star place. Change that and you could the

Baramee Chindavong

Perfectly cooked delicious, crispy Korean Fried Chicken in the area. Definitely worth a view. The spicy level has a good kick, in a good way. The staff is nice. The service is good. The food is good. Portion sizes are pretty good too. Good lunch specials.

Dylan Veraart

Food was amazing. Chicken has an amazing crunch. Lunch special is perfectly priced. If you want boneless, don't get the boneless wings, the strips are 10 times better. Wish they had a desert menu but Shilla Bakery nearby is a great place for a sweet treat afterwards.

Robert Flinn

Takumi Fukuzawa

I really enjoyed the food there and their chicken is really good. The place itself had a really nice vibe. I would definitely go there again.

Cathy Wang

Great spicy chicken! I went there and once it was too salty. It’s good tho

The chicken & other food was very good. Sort of basic, casual atmosphere. The service was very good as well.

Patrice Marshall

Great Korean Fried Chicken. Great service. Modern Decor. Will come again.

Sierra Georgia

My new favorite chicken addiction. The potstickers were also amazing.

Matthew Shaffer

Love this place, amazing fried chicken 'korean style', can't get enough.

Team Austin

One of the Best Bonchons. Prepared fresh upon order so place your order before you’re starving. Really nice crispy & juicy texture... served at the perfect temperature. The staff was very helpful with the menu.

My friend and I received food poisoning after eating here.

Tony Briscoe

The food is delicious but the service from the staff was lacking. It took 20 minutes just to be served water. When the food was served, we weren’t given napkins and had to ask twice before some were provided. The most unfortunate part of the poor service was that it wasn’t even busy.

Nick Scotto

If you like spicy fish get the teobokki. It is so so so good

Awesome chicken. Try the Bulgogi and rice.

Grace Strauss

Ryan Horwath

The garlic soy chicken is bananas good. I have to forcibly stop myself from eating a whole order. Service was good. Music videos on the wall I'm ok with but not the same pop song on repeat for twenty minutes. If you're gonna play K-pop, why not go all in and play the Korean versions. It's not like the English words of a pop song are going to wow anyone anyway and the Korean groups sound just as good/the same.

R. Burns

Best place for spicy chicken. I get cravings for it . It must have crack as a main ingredient. Only thing is the wait time between ordering and getting food is too long. But maybe that is just my sense of time being warped because I am so close to eating it. I generally don't dine here for dinner also because the place is a little small and I end up waiting for a table unless we get there super early.

Nitin Gupta

James Juhng

Crispy chicken. Cold beer. Great service. Can't beat it.

Paul Wallace

Very interesting menu. Good wings. Came out a good while after we he ate our main course. Main course was good. Friendly wait staff. Double deep fried. Wings were ordered first.

Aby Oommen

First visit here, will definitely be coming back. The salmon avacado dish was awesome. Bulgogi fried rice was really good too. Japchae didn't impress. There were plenty of other items on the menu that looked great, had a hard time selecting

Delicious fried chicken. My go-to fried chicken place

Josh Simmons

Best fried chicken ever. Always moist and full of flavor!!! Only reason I gave 4 stars is because it takes a while for the food to come out, but I guess you can't rush perfection...

Ummyusuf Sahar Abdus-Sabur

I came in thinking this was a grab and go place (Its not.) You have to wait to be seated. Not overly formal, its like a cross between Applebees and a sports bar with korean style fair. I came for the wings I had heard some much about but couldnt wait so I got the chicken sliders. They were very kind. Although the order only took about 15 mins, I was given hot tea on the house while I waited. Very courteous and accommodating.. Food was good too. The sliders come two way, spicy and soy/garlic. The spicy is spicy! The soy/garlic has a kick. I also got the ribeye soft tacos. Hubby said they were good. I plan on coming back. Also, I found out from staff, you can call in an order but they dont have internet ordering yet.

Brandon Coleman

The place can get very busy since it's in a small place. The wings are five stars. Just make sure you know it'll take at least 30 minutes to get your food. Also if you're calling it can be really loud so make sure you are very clear with your order.

Dennis Smith

Excellent food

Steve Sabu

Food is amazing. The wings are a must try item. The spicy wings are flavorful and delicious. They definitely have a kick to them but not overbearingly spicy. The soy garlic wings are also excellent. They are flavorful but not too overbearing with the garlic. The pickled radishes are a great side companion. The seafood house fried rice is also great. It is delicious and has a good amount of seafood in it. The drink selection is pretty good as well; handful of options to choose from. The soju is delicious as well. We got the lychee and mango flavored soju and both were good, but I liked the lychee better. The service was excellent. Our server was friendly and welcoming and very attentive. The bathrooms are clean. The restaurant is clean and modern in decor. Street parking is ample. I would highly recommend this spot for grabbing dinner or late night eats.

Neil Landers

Very interesting menu. Good wings. Double deep fried. Wings were ordered first. Came out a good while after we he ate our main course. Main course was good. Friendly wait staff.

Anna Pfeiffer

The staff were friendly and accommodating. We ordered chicken strips with soy garlic sauce. The sauce was very good and not at all spicy, and the chicken had a different kind of crunch than expected but it was good. The chicken itself was dry even after getting extra sauce. We came expecting the atmosphere of a quiet takeout place like the Frederick location, but instead it was like a sports bar, tvs and all, which was disorienting. I would highly recommend you go to a different location if you don't like sports bars.

I like their wings, but ,most of time, i can smell cloride kind of sanitizers at the restaurant. It is so strong sometimes I wonder whether I am sitting in the toilet or chair in the restaurant. Other than that, great place to enjoy chicken, some korean foods with a bottle of beer.

Kristy Cortez

The best Bonchon in MD! I have been to several locations in MD and we always go back to this one.

Yary Melendez

Jamie Loy

Happy this location is finally open. So addictive. Friendly service. Top notch wings and mix of traditional Korean and Asian fusion. :)

Chain restaurant with fast Korean food. Surprisingly very good menu items and reasonable prices. Tastes great!

Danielle MacDonald

Impractically Perfect

Seafood rice and octopus balls were amazing. The chicken is legit.

Denise Hallums

Best Korean Chicken and best fried chicken. The soy garlic and spicy sauces are both culinary delights. Customers can be sure there food is made fresh to order, so carryout diners should call ahead for pickup and avoid the 20 minute wait.

Drew Stanley

Saifi Talat

Great food and service compliment the cozy atmosphere which makes it a great place for any occasion.

Garrett P

Decent Korean fried chicken. Just wish they had an option for a sauce in between the sweet one and the very spicy one. Serving size was not very large and they were out of the boneless wings.

FFeL Kat

Delicious epic chicken and other foods.

Derek Franks

Fantastic place to eat whether you're going for some good fried chicken or some Korean food! I'm a big fan of the chicken Katsu! It has this sweet and sour sauce lightly drizzled on it asking with spicy mayo which makes for a nice flavor with a slight kick!

Heezy High

brittany moore

Cant get enought of that Korean fried chicken made like no other fried chicken

Tony Rosario

Too pricey for wings and not much variety of flavors.

Zach Frazer

Jon Briska

Everyone in my party got food poisoning after eating here. Would not recommend.

Alex Gonzalez

Great wings, good dishes. Their fried chicken is great. Best consumed on premises but they also have takeout.

Weona Lynn Cutchin

Best Korean Chicken restaurant ever!!!! It’s my families favorite and we continue to introduce our families and friends to the food and the place. My father that lives in Michigan as well our friends from London loves it so much that every time they come to visits we have to come and dine at BonChon.

The drumsticks were delicious and larger than expected. The spicy has enough spice to taste but not overpower the meal for people who like spice.

Great chicken. Skin crispy, meat tender and sauce on chicken flavorful. Ordered a medium order if chicken drumsticks today and took home to share. Did half sweet and half garlic soy. Could have done all 10 by myself. Saved some for tomorrow. Definitely will be back.

Asian Fusion and Chicken at it's finest!!!

Seated right away. Attentive servers, anticipate refills. Hot and delicious Korean fried chicken, bibimbop, japchae noodles. Highly recommended

Janine Jaradat

The chicken was very tasty and good but it was a little pricey but other than that it was good

A little pricey but delicious for what you get

Patrick Dovichi

The lychee soju is delicious! The breading on the onion rings was perfectly crisp but not greasy. The Korean tacos bulgogi are my wife's new favorite tacos

Wien Chan

Great service and people. Very clean. Although I wish they would implement a happy hour of some sorts so it can be my new local go to bar. What's better than fried chicken and beer?... A deal on fried chicken and beer.

Mark Wright

A preferred site for tasty Korean food. I love visiting here. Service is consistently above par. This place has many great reviews for a reason.

John Elias

Excellent food and great value for lunch.

Amazing fried chicken, the spicy hurts. Also get the fried rice!

LOVE the soy garlic wings and horseradish, paired with some white rice. Can’t get enough–I would eat there every week if I lived closer. The Bucktown location is big. There’s lots of seating and a patio. They play dance music instead of the pop throwbacks at Chinatown. The staff was very friendly, professional and accommodating. I always forget if I like the honey flavor and the server was nice enough to let me sample the sauces. I’m not a big fan but if sweet and honey are your thing, it’s worth a try.

Huan Xu

good service, good food. kinda of pricey for just wings

Diana Lopez

Ordered the plate of chicken strips, (careful when they say hot they really mean HOT!) delicious, not your regular thick flour coated strips. The fried zucchini was a nice change from fries. Great eats!!

James Kladis

Amazing chicken wings!

Ammad Williams

Really enjoyed the food here. Tons of flavor and spice. Solid drink list and trendy atmosphere. If you don't try the wings you're definitely missing out; there's something about that crispy, spicy, sweet kick that will have you reaching for more.

that's not great that's not bad I stopped there for lunch I ordered the chicken combo that's worth spicy game that's why I hit was sweet actually which I am not crazy about and the temperature was lukewarm not as hot as it should be for fried chicken sandwich was good this is clean but the food the strip was so so I'll be back to check it out but I won't go out of my way to go in

Poor operations. Every time I go here the waiters seem to lack training/attentiveness as you will constantly have to flag them down for service. They have also run out of basic staples like fries before. And Super Bowl Sunday, ordering apps said it would take 20-30min for an order but after not getting it, the restaurant they said it was a 2 hr wait for an order. They also disabled their phones so you couldn’t call to ask about an order. Hoping Bon Chon Corporate can assist in improving this establishment as Bon Chon is such a great restaurant chain more generally.

This place was so good.

the sweet crunch chicken i had was gross, the sauce was just awful. i'm pretty annoyed because it was expensive too. the waitress was very nice though, i'll say that.

Ritik Das

Excellent every time. Sapporo and Chicken Fried Rice always does it.

Nick Weaver

Fully addicted to the soy garlic strips. Perfect combination of juicy and crispy chicken. The pork buns are amazing as well, great location and cool interior!!! I’d give it 6 stars if I could!!

Henry Olawoye

The spicy chicken from this place never gets old. Good food. If you're on a tight lunch schedule I'd advise ordering ahead, or to go. The plaza it's located in is usually pretty busy. Be aware. This location is way better than the Canton location. The Canton location is nothing like the NY locations.

While the process to get a table was a bit disorganized, the food was absolutely delicious!! We ordered a combo plate of chicken wings. Perfectly cooked with crispy skin, loads of eye-opening flavor, and tender meat. Certainly the best Korean Fried Chicken we've ever had. Medium size is more than enough to feed 2 people. It has a pretty casual vibe inside with TVs in the bar area and a variety of seating options. Seems like a great spot for date night or small groups. Definitely excited this place finally opened up after a long wait!

HORRIBLE SERVICE BE AWARE!!!Worst welcoming experience I have ever endured. Not by the employees (They just stood there and glanced), but from the supposed owner"Robert"!!! DON'T GO THERE IF YOU DON'T WANT TO GET TALKED DOWN TO.

Gwen Goldfish

Good food! Bibimbap was tasty. Mostly relaxed atmosphere - music was a little loud. Service was quick and friendly.

Nathan Walker

THE. BEST. CHICKEN. OF. ALL. TIME. Seriously, this place is the LeBron James of chicken restaurants. Not only did my taste buds have the experience of their lives, but our server was also very friendly and attentive. The next time I come to Maryland I will absolutely be stopping by again!

Shanice Edwards

I opted to pickup my order instead of sitting in. Initially, it took them a while to answer the phone. I finally got someone on my third call, who was a bit unpleasant. Her tone was off putting, but I disregarded it and proceeded to place my order. Once I got there I was greeted by the same girl who I was on the phone with. She said very little and matched the energy she gave over the phone. Still, I ignored it and paid for my order. I ordered the combo chicken lunch special w/ fries and the house fried rice lunch special. The price wasn’t bad for the amount of food I received, but the chicken could’ve used a lot more sauce then what was presented to me. Also, be sure to ask for condiments and silverware if needed. I had only two packets of ketchup in my bag and nothing else. Prior to visiting this place I was on a Google search for Korean sticky chicken and this was one of the locations it suggested. Maybe I will try Crisp or Dak next time to see if I can actually get what I really want. Overall, the food wasn’t bad, the price is doable, but the customer service could be better.

Dee Batista

This place is soooo GOOD! We had the wings both spicy and sweet, Kim chi and bacon fried rice, salmon avocado ball, and the seasoned fries! Everything was amazing!! The wings were crispy and the spicy ones were really spicy! The rice was to die for!!! The salmon was perfectly cooked and the fries was crispy on the outside and super soft on the inside! Highly recommend!

Matt Mauney

Mediocre and overpriced. Try Crisp or Del Seoul.

Brian Wallace

Although this seems to be a small chain, it doesn't feel like one. The bbq style seating and projector large screen TV are of little to no consequence. This place is all about the food and shared experience with your friends. There's always a warm buzz inside. Lot's of great Korean dishes, all cooked very well. But let's not dilly dally here.... this place is all about the WINGS! If you don't leave in a double fried, heavy battered comatose state... you're doing it wrong. To owner: Yes.. you can share this review. (had to add this because there's no way for me to reply to you)

Triet Duong

Love the chicken wings. The spicy ones are pleasantly spicy. The inclusion of sushi on the menu is an added bonus if some of your party aren't in the mood for wings.

Douglas Puccetti

Can't go wrong. Hands down the best BonChon in the area.

Delicious chicken (soy garlic - my favorite), and Cesar salad. Great service. Gets a little loud as the dinner crowd starts to arrive.

Kara Tracy

Amazing food!! The chicken is cooked perfectly. Definitely drool-worthy.
