Food is good. I love the wings that are half spicy and half sweet. The lunch special is the best deal here. The Korean beef soup 🍜 is also very good. I wish they offered free refills on soda. The French Fries are also tasty too. I hope they add more to their menu in the future.

Not been there in a while but last few times I ate there, the food was top notch, nice atmosphere and you can usually see the chefs at work in the open plan kitchen.

If you are looking for Korean chicken wings for delivery, this is a fantastic option. I first ate at this restaurant pre-COVID and it became my #1 favorite place for spicy Korean chicken wings. Post-COVID, even with delivery, it still delivers (pun intended) on the flavor. The meals are well-packaged in strong containers. None of that weak-sauce packaging here. I asked for utensils and was pleasantly surprised to see forks, chopsticks, and plenty of napkins. *PRO TIP: if you are ordering through the app (or phone, etc), ask for extra plates! We ate out of the containers, which isn’t a big deal, but since we were staying at a hotel, it would’ve been clutch to have some extra plates to eat from. The food itself came surprisingly hot and the wings were still crunchy. Admittedly, it’s not the exact magic that occurs when you dine in, but that’s to be expected. It’s a strong offering for delivery. By the way, I LOVE spicy foods and see myself as being able to handle the spice well. These spicy wings are pretty spicy. Not the spiciest ever, but it makes you think you maybe order an “extra spicy” version or something. It’s VERY flavorful and delicious, but just be warned: it’s spicy. In short, if you are craving some Korean chicken wings for delivery (or any Korean cuisine for that matter) Bonchon prepares the food quickly, packages it well, and the flavors are well-preserved compared to its in-person offering. Although I would prefer to dine-in, I also wouldn’t hesitate to order delivery again when the craving strikes.

The group that owns Bandera is not allowing their employees to wear face masks as they re-open in various markets. They are unnecessarily endangering their customers and their employees for the sake of the perception of normalcy. Good luck with that, Hillstone Restaurant Group. I celebrated my college graduation with you, among other occasions. It's a shame that you're making it impossible for me to return or support you at any point in the future.

The lunch special is a little cheaper but still about $1 each wing. The wings are juicy and crispy, but not worth the money due to size. The portion size is very very small and rice is extra.

I miss this place, does anyone know if and when it will reopen? My husband and I make it a tradition to celebrate our wedding anniversary here every year (minus last year). Everything from the drinks, live music and the food were oh so good!

Great place and staff. Food is delicious and the lounge atmosphere with the jazz band playing is great. We had the bread plate, the cheeseburger, and the ribs and everything was good and tasty. Just one thing weird : the bottle of diet coke is about half the size of the regular coke bottle for nearly the same price... Could have been good to have the option to get a full size bottle.

Ordered on line. Quick and easy. Paid for it on line too. Food is very good. A great option for quick dinner pick up. 20 Strips with Soy & Garlic. Onion rings and Takoyaki All very good. I will say I'm addicted to this chicken. If you order hot wings or strips. They are HOT. Ranch dressing will cool you down. Thank you for a great to go meal Family very happy.

Great place for a more romantic evening. The food is phenomenal! Dress up nicely! They have life piano performance there, that's what makes it romantic, and the low lights. I highly recommend!

The waitering was absolutely amazing. Very kind and quite helpful with the suggestions of dinner choices. The ambiance was extremely cozy. A live jazz performance that made the night a more warming entertaining environment. The food, incredibly mouth watering. Absolutely delicious. Overall, it was a great experience and I highly recommend others to experience it.

Upscale spot in the loop for American food. Lots of good fish options. I especially liked the Emerald Kale and Chicken Salad. They have live jazz music every day which is pretty cool, made the ambience a whole lot delightful. Service was quick and staff was very professional and welcoming.

This place is hands down amazing! They have a live jazz band playing while you are enjoying your meal. The atmosphere is swanky with a touch of class. The service is amazing and they went above and beyond to make my dining experience excellent. Super attentive wait staff, greeted with a friendly smile by the hostess, food was out in a prompt and timely manner. I had the bbq ribs which were super tender and melting in my mouth and my boyfriend had the pork chop which was perfectly cooked. There is not enough good to say about the nice time we were able to spend at this restuarant. Oh, and the dessert was soooooo good! We had the walnut apple pie cobbler which was rich and full or warm caramel goodness.

Been to a few locations around the us and loved em all.

Best fried chicken from a Restaurant. Always fresh!

Good wings and takoyaki!

Loved their spicy wings, they are flavorful and super crunchy!

I wish I could give them no stars. Terrible customer services ever

Just had their boneless chicken wings. They were among the best I've ever eaten.

Called in my order but I felt soo rushed that I ended up messing up my order myself!! Didnt realize till I got home which is a 30minute drive that I didn't get my wings boneless!! Definitely suggest just ordering at the location so that they don't rush you!

Service was great. Food was great. Enough said.

Came with 8 people on a Friday at around 6pm and only had a 15 minute wait.Bonchon Chinatown Chicago was great for a family style meal, and everything we ordered was tasty

Went from the reviews of their wings trashhhhhh

As always the food is amazing.

I love this restaurant very much. theres a special feeling. The food is wonderful. the service is dynamic and the stuff is professional. The price is decent. extremely recommend.

Dry boneless chicken. Way over salted. Nice service though.

Consistently delicious chicken. One of my favorites in the area.

Best chicken. Ever. Just. Ever.

AMAZING chicken. We drove over an hour home with this chicken and it was still crunchy when we ate it. Same for the Takoyaki, it wasn't soggy at all. I was really surprised. My only complaint is location. You have to really pay attention otherwise you'll walk right by it like we did.

The sweet crunch and the spicy chicken combo is so good. Quality is always great.

Ambiance can't be beat here. And service is ideal. I come here every time I'm in Chicago. The food is good but the homemade Oreo dessert is my favorite. The music has always been on point as well.

I was lucky to find Bandera while I was in the area today and decided to give it a look for lunch. Wound up with seats at the chef’s bar because we didn’t have reservations, but that’s exactly where I would request to sit when I return again. Getting to watch the chefs prepare the food was a great experience all on its own. It helped us decide what we all wanted to eat - especially after we watched him prepare an Oreo cookies and cream ice cream dessert in a bath of chocolate sauce. The service was great, the food was spectacular, and I’d recommend this to anyone.

Macho salad and grilled veggies are consistently delicious. The cornbread is super delicious but they need to take an extra minute mixing the batter. We had to send ours back twice because there were pockets of uncooked/unmixed cornmeal mix

Great atmosphere and amazing food. Mains worth the money in general. Sides over priced imo. Drinks good, soft drinks very overpriced and served as small single servings. Love jazz was great for the atmosphere. Very slow to be seated given we had a reservation but the place was full due to its popularity. Not a tourist trap despite its location. Would recommend.

Great place for a date or family. First time with my sweetheart. Our 5th anniversary. Loved decor, location, Pandora near by ladies ❤ and food was DELICIOUS!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!😋

5 Star, The Atmosphere was filled with happy people serving and bring plates to tables that makes your palate dance. I must say the salad vinaigrette was not over powering but just right with the crunchiness of almonds. The Salmon was cooked to flaky perfection. Bandera is on my MUST EAT list.

The skin of the chicken is so crispy and you can literally hear the sound of how crunchy it is. Their signature fried chicken fried to perfection. You can say the crunch is like eating a bag of lays chips.

Excellent food. So flavorful! Service was spot on. Support our local businesses!

The best Asian food I ever tried I recommend the chicken fried rice and the pops tickers🙂

The Japchae was good. The Spicy Wings were spicy and the Soy Garlic Wings was very good. Only get the Season Fries if you're going to eat in the restaurant, I'm all about crispy fries. Hahaha.

Quick service and so yummy! The seasoned fries are a must!

The chicken wings were so juicy, will definitely order again!

Terrible. We went there few times and they didn't seat us even it had few empty tables. They said those are reserved. Bad customer service. They prefer empty tables rather serving their customers. Never go back for the rest of my live.

D-lish!!!!

Always good food.

good food! kinda overpriced, but it's worth a visit for the korean fried chicken

Pretty good. I like the breading for the chicken reminds me of McDonald's chicken nuggets. Only thing i would improve is the sauce options.

Great food and amazing atmosphere. Had cheese burger which was very tasty, lamb sandwich was nicely seasoned and very tender. Seared ahi tuna salad was delicious too. They have live jazz music and the band was really good. We had to wait about 40 minutes as we didn't have a reservation, so it's better to reserve in advance. Service was very good too.

$28 for 20 wings. Taste like old oil and bad grease. Flavor is off. Received a $3 coupon but that is not enough to compensate for my experience. This will be my last time here

Best chicken I have ever had

One of the best restaurants in Chicago. I love the ambiance and the food is spectacular! I highly recommend it 😁😁

American food, yeah, super delicious. great place to relax, people watch, eat good food or all the above. bring your hunger - portions are filling. reminds me of a cafe in chicago i loved to visit.

Good site for American food. Service is always prompt even when they have a full house. The staff was very welcoming and sociable. The bill was fair I would say.

My preferred spot for quality American food. I will be bringing family next time. Feels like a cafe in Phoenix that I enjoyed visiting.

American food and the feeling at this location is great. do yourself a favor and try this place. i will be bringing family next time. bring your appetite because portions are large. mood here reminds me of colorado springs area.

I love this place. The atmosphere is pure wit live piano music and the location is great.

Fine spot for quality American food. Visited Fri evening I think. Certainly worth going back to. This place has a cool atmosphere. Like a restaurant in Washington I loved.

Best short ribs I’ve ever had in my life! Great food and service and they have live jazz music which makes ur evening perfect ❤️💆🏻‍♀️

A preferred location for quality American food. The staff was very kind and attentive. The bill was reasonable I would say.

One of my favorite spots for american food. Good place to hang and eat some good food. Will surely make a return trip. It has a cool feel to it. Menu is similar to a restaurant in El Paso I liked.

Ok location for american food. It's so savory. The staff was very friendly and attentive. They have a lot of good reviews for a reason.

My top spot for delicious american food. The food was tasty. Service treated us so nice. Prices that won't shock you.

A fav location for delicious American food. Staff treated us so kindly. This place has an awesome atmosphere.

Wonderful little restaurant, great local food, courteous, friendly staff and a nice atmosphere

Only one reason that I want to visit Chicago again! The food was sooo good and I loved the music. Jazzy night ❣️

Great place to bring a date, or just to hang out with your friends! It is a little pricey but the food is definitely worth it. Recommend getting the drumsticks because they are larger than the wings.

The Japanese fried chicken wings was sooooooo good! It's in Chinatown & we're definitely going back! Oh & downstairs, Mango Mango has the best mango smoothie!

The rice with rib eye us to die for along with the Korean tacos!!! I'm here at least once a week! Great lunch specials

They said they're closed and it's only 9:31 pm and the sign says 10pm . They should be honest about the time they close instead of lying to look good

Order Korean beef tacos, takoyaki and fried rice. Everything was delicious, although the pork belly was a bit on the tougher side.

There are times you just need double deep fried chicken wings. For those times, you can count on Bonchon to deliver. I first experience this chain in NYC where it started, then again in DC. Whilst i would rank Chicago’s chain below both locations, this BC definitely satisfies your taste buds. I also want to give them an honorable mention when they participated in a period of time where they gave first responders a free meal. I visited them a couple times during those weeks and felt truly valued as a healthcare provider during the early pandemic months. Thank you for being in Chinatown and so delicious each time :)

March 2 was the second birthday I celebrated with family at Bandera. Food, service, ambiance, and jazz were all fabulous! What a treat to celebrate here! I would absolutely recommend Bandera.

Forgot to take pictures of steaks..was very good.

22 oz Rutherford Ribeye was delicious!!!

Excellent quality, service and jazz.

Small dining space with a Short but effective menu. Service was friendly but we literally had to ask to have empty dishes removed multiple times, if not they would just have completely cluttered up our table. They have Familiar items that attract an unadventurous crowd with wings, onion rings and tacos but their other traditional dishes like Bulgogi, Takoyaki and Fried Rice are so damn good. I am amazed at how flavorful their fried rice is, We loved it. The Chicken Katsu was pretty basic and can please a picky eater. Fried shrimp shumai sounded very interesting but missed the mark on our taste buds. We'll try them steamed next time. The wings we very crispy but flavor wise were not the kind you crave for, pricey at that. Pork Buns were good but nothing to rave about. All in all we had a good meal and Again the Bulgogi, Takoyaki and the Fried Rice was just Delicious.

Fantastic staff, food was amazing!

The food was excellent and the service was better than expected. The steaj was better than even some classic steakhouses like Gibson's!

Food was superb! Attentive service by the waitstaff. Definitely worth a visit!

Very professional

Delicious salmon and old fashioneds. Awesome live Jazz band on the weekends. Can get a little loud if you're seated too close. Try to sit by window - great view of michigan avenue. Otherwise the bar is a great place to grab dinner too!

Meh, pretty good?

The food was great and the service was too. This was in a great location right off one of the main shopping streets. We were there for brunch and would definitely stop in again when we come back.

I had the pleasure of dining with friends at Bandera. What a wonderful time having great food and listening to live jazz. My friends and I were treated with a table by the window and food to write home about. What a treat!

American food at this location - super tasty. i had a brother come into town and asked me to take him back here. this place has an awesome feel to it.

One of my top places for American food. i often meet people here to talk. nothing but pleasant experiences here. the bill was fair i would say.
