“Our go to flavors are the Soy Garlic and Spicy as well and then paired with the free pickled radish makes a nice combo.”
“I thought the lunch prices were very reasonable $7 got you 3 drumsticks, a side of white rice/fries and coleslaw.”
“-Pickled radish was very refreshing and was great with the chicken
-Cooking time is a bit long so call ahead!”

It's BonChon Chicken for chicken's sake! From what i know the birth-baby of KFC (Korean Fried Chicken). I've had a few pieces before but this day were took home boxes and I was ready to DIG IN! When I finally sank my teeth into these, it wasn't what I remembered. Something felt like it was missing…
I remember recently I've been getting my KFC from another place around this area and it's hard to live up to that now. Maybe I will give BonChon another shot some other time..
Very small location near the Gwb. Delicious chicken but why does it take so long to make?!? 25-30 min an order!
We arrived an hour before closing – the place as a tiny shop next to a pizza shop. The chicken was either spicy or soy garlic and either wings, breasts or thighs (we got both in wing form) and added on veggie dumplings.
The crispy skin was good, the chicken was juicy, but we just weren't wowed. It was just Good.
not a bad place if you were having a wing attack.
Grumpy and staring in the refrigerator trying to figure out what could possibly go together to be dinner when the Mr. calls and suggests I put in a combo wing and drumsticks order for half sweet soy garlic and half hot and spicy, with a side of steak fries, pickled radish and kimchi cole slaw. Yesss!!
Just the spicy alone will make your tongue fall out and just the sweet alone is too cloying- best to mix it up with half sweet and half spicy. Get that juicy, crunchy order in before you arrive since it takes a good 20 minutes for your meal to be made fresh and sizzling.
The wings here are so crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside that my mouth is watering just thinking back to eating them. They are a bit pricey for wings. Four large orders and fries ended up to be about $70. So one star off from me. I love both flavors although spicy is pretty spicy and a lot of my friends opted out after eating one. It was fine because it was more for me. 🙂 and get the fries because they are delicious.
We all have vices: mine is Korean fried chicken. I like this location better than Leonia's: the chicken seem to be meatier and fresher (and mind you, I picked up my order at 9:45 p.m. on a Sunday night! Yes, some cravings need to be met.). Fancy door handle; nice owners.
My favorite fried chicken in the whole wide world. My cousin in Queens got me hooked one time we had a slumber party in his house. 😉 Whats not to like. its the perfect crisp and perfect flavor put together in a chicken. Like I said in my profile, its one of my last meals on earth.
Two flavors: Soy Garlic, Spicy. Thats it. You can get em in drumsticks or wings or boneless. Nice staff. You make sure you call ahead if your picking the chicken up or you will be waiting 20 to 30 minutes depending on how much wings you are getting.
It takes time to make a perfect chicken you know 😉
Decreased quality + increased price = no thanks. There's sooooo many chicken places especially in and around my neighborhood. The chicken+beer combination is godsend to Koreans- it's like the Japanese ramen hype, only more unhealthy.
I'm not a fan of fried food, so if there's even a small trace of old oil, I'll refuse to have whatever has been re-fried in my mouth. I can't say for certain that they were using old oil, but it certainly wasn't as good a grade of oil or fresh as it used to be.
There was not much meat on the chicken- I feel guilty singling out chicken as the only meat I'll eat. They're cute too.. So can you at least not remind me that the chicken might've also suffered from starvation, too?
The sweet pickled radish tasted more or less how it should, but you really can't do that one wrong. Vinegar + water + boatloads of sugar. Anyway, competition is so fierce that this place isn't gonna be getting a callback from my family for a reorder. I'd rather go with boom boom. I'm so over you, BonChon.
