    BEWARE! If you go for the strips, their recipe changed! We went to bonchon twice this week because I thought that I was the one at fault for possibly ordering boneless wings rather than the strips but no. They’re no longer the nice thinly-breaded crispy & soaked in sauce chicken breasts that we regularly go for - now they’re overly-breaded chicken tenders that you could get at any fast food restaurant for way cheaper. To top it off, while their sauce is still good, they drizzle it atop the “strips” & do not fully coat it like they should which could probably help their case if they did. You can see the dry spots with no sauce effortlessly in the picture I included. And yes this was the case for both visits. Ironically enough, they give you the option of boneless wings vs strips but there’s not a single difference between the two. I was willing to pay $40 for 30 pieces of strips before but not anymore, they’re definitely overpriced for being the cheap quality that they are now. So sad because I used to love going here. Also wish they gave a disclaimer at the least.

    Now I must say I've been wanting to try this place for a while. I loved the chicken, so flavorful it was like a party going on in my mouth!!! I got half and half flavors. I also had a side of Cole slaw which was pretty good as well. I added fries which was nice and crispy! I got the bulgogi tacos which I didn't enjoy very much, I think it was just the meat. But overall really good chicken!!!

    I'm still in the lobby eating my meal of chicken katsu and the Korean tacos and pickle radish with my girlfriend but soon to be wife in a few months or years. The food was amazing the cooks and front cashier did an excellent job . The amazing service and 10/10 food and sauce that came with it was good. Highly recommend this place to anyone or if you want to go on a date. Sandra an amazing person and very friendly. Ps. They won't give out there secret formula to the amazing food and service.

    I have heard great things about Korean Fried Chicken. I was finally in Sacramento when the restaurant was open. I stopped here for dinner around 5pm. I ordered the small boneless wings with soy garlic. The chicken was dry and stringy with very little soy garlic sauce. The chicken seemed and tasted to be left over from lunch and reheated. We also got the Japchae which was extra oily with overpowering red pepper flavor. We had 3 small pieces of meat in the Japchae. The beverages was limited as most of the choices were out. I will look for a better Korean restaurant. I will not go back to this restaurant.

    Love this double fried chicken in the soy garlic sauce fried to perfection. The fries seem to be battered as well which give them an excellent double crunch as well. Definitely recommend for anyone who loves chicken and especially loves fried chicken.

    I adore this chain. Both their soy garlic and spicy flavors are SO good. Their chicken always fried perfectly. And their fries are fricken heavenly. Comes with pickled radishes or slaw. The combo with 3 drums and 6 wings is $13 roughly. Tried their takoyaki and it were super hot and fresh, just like how you get em in Japan. Service was very friendly. We got beers, which were $5 a cup on tap. You have to wait a little long for the food to come out but you won't be disappointed, promise. In the past I've had their ddeobokki and it was also delicious, albeit super duper spicy. Would reccomend dining in at this location, as it is nicely ACed and has lots of natural bright light and high windows.

    The first time I went here it was great. Ever since, it's never lived up to that. Recently the fries have been cold (and their fries lost quality fast as they cool down) and the chicken had been over cooked and old. Even the sauces don't seem as good. 🙁 It's a shame. That first time the food really impressed me..

    Fried chicken is possibly the best I’ve ever had. The pork buns and sliders are also incredible. Note: Just don’t get the boneless wings or chicken strips. Everything else here is incredible quality, but for some reason they are using cheap, frozen, overly breaded, chicken-tender types for these…

    Good fries, crispy chicken with a great sauce that doesn't make it soggy. Don't know how they do it, but the chicken is terrific---tasty, well seasoned and it's truly finger licking good! We've come so far since KFC!

    I’ve had Bonchon twice now and both times have been great! The first time I went I ordered the chicken wings spicy. I love spicy thing so I wasn’t expecting it to be too spicy. But man after four wings I needed water ASAP lol. The wings have a nice taste to them and also the spicy have a nice sweet taste and balance out the sweet and spicy. What I love most about the place were the fries they were super crunchy and fresh. They also have a spicy mayo sauce that essentially is Sriracha mix with mayo. It is pretty good to dip fries in. I like how they have inside seating both on normal tables and also high chair of tables. They also have some seating outside. Another thing they have is the Coca-Cola machine that has a whole bunch of flavors. I’ll be back soon.

    As always, food was delicious at Bonchon. This place is tinier than the Natomas and Elk Grove location, and they don't offer table service, but that's just fine with me. It may seem like it costs a lot for some fried chicken, but damn it's 100% worth it. That soy garlic flavor is absolute bomb.

    Fast service, friendly employees and the location was clean. I had the potstickers they were good, if you can't handle spice stick with the mild option because they are deliciously spicy 🥵🔥 I also tried the chicken sliders, they were crispy, juicy and spicy. Soo good! Will definitely come back.

  • 2/5 Cindy S. 1 year ago on Google
    First time trying this. For me the wings were too dry. I tried both flavors. I also ordered the pork belly bao buns. The pork was dry too. I had pickled radish on the side and those were good 😊.

  • 5/5 Yared N. 1 year ago on Google
    The food is excellent. I enjoyed what I had. I had the combo chicken which is half spicy and half savory. The spicy was the best. The service was good. It might be due to the business of the place, it was slower than I would like. The atmosphere is God but a bit loud and busy considering the place is small.

    Came here for lunch out of curiosity. Beautiful location and reasonably priced lunch specials. The chicken strips with spicy sauce was flavorful and a nice change from norm.

    Love love love the staff , honestly the positive ratings come from their stewardship and customer service being as great as it is. The negative however comes from a few menu options not being good or having a real flavor .. I’ll be vague because I would implore anyone to try anything at least once. None the less it’s a great establishment , semi good , fast eats. Staff is awesome , clean, and warm during the cold months lol.

    Great, really great chicken. I had the garlic sauce. Crispy, juicy, terrific. Definitely bring wet wipes. Their napkins don't hold up to sticky BBQ. The pickled radishes were refreshing. Clean non- gendered bathrooms, single person only. Not much atmosphere but it's damned good chicken

    AMAZING Korean fried wings. Be sure to ask for extra glaze. It really does make a big difference. The garlic/soy is great. The spicy is pretty good too. It's a creeper heat. I usually get half and half. I know a couple "light weights" that can't handle the spice but it should be okay for most folks that like spicy food.

    The bulgoki looks like chopped meat with mushrooms? The dokboki was soggy, the dumplings are ok but the sauce is just dumped and shaken in a paper box. The food could have been presented so much better. I've been to other locations where it feels more like a homey, Korean comfort food joint but this place feels like a fast food with no care . The chicken was the only winner. It was cooked to perfection. You need to cater more to customers to enjoy eating here and train the staff to present and prepare the food to look better!

    So the only bad thing is it's small inside and it's so popular that it was a little wait for a table but the chicken wings and drum sticks are amazing! And the pickled radish is delicious! The servers were all nice and they server alcohol and it's reasonbly priced, overall a great experience, had a great Valentine's day here and I'll definitely be back, love you BonChon!!!

  • 4/5 Rodel R. 2 years ago on Google
    Very good chicken drumsticks here. The wings are pretty good too. The sweet garlic flavor is definitely our favorite and both cuts of meat are very tender. There was also a short wait for food around 15 mins, which isn't too bad. Overall very solid chicken place.

  • 5/5 Sharbat I. 2 years ago on Google
    Just had a work meeting and my coworker recommended this place for lunch. I’m really happy she did!! We got the Japchae bowl and 10 piece wings combo. It was the perfect size for two hungry adults. The staff are very friendly and explained everything in detail when they found out that I have never been to this place. They have dining area inside and outside. Just one thing that I felt I need to mention, if you are sensitive to hot things or spicy food, do not go near the hot wings. I have finished the wings 10 minutes ago and my lips are still burning. It is hot BUT I would get them :)
