I mean, bonchon to me is the elite of all KFC! I could get hate for this but it's just top tier for me. The flavor is so good! I don't have more to say. I only like their chicken though. I have tried their rice and it's just ok. So this is solely for chicken review only! Their wings are a definite MUST TRY! read more

Bonchon - Half spicy half soy garlic - Korean Near Me - Artesia, California

Tried this spot for the first time and grabbed my order to go. When I walked in, the place was completely empty--and the big "B" rating posted at the front definitely gave me a moment of hesitation. Still, I went ahead with my order, and I'm glad I did. The chicken was actually really good--crispy skin, perfectly cooked. I don't remember exactly which flavor I chose, but the sweet one was a little too sweet for me, while the spicy one hit just right with a nice kick. read more

Came during a weekday so it was empty inside, there was only one person at the Front of House who took our order and later brought our food. He had great customer service, and really made sure we were comfortable while inside. The food came out and was delicious-- The only problem was that there was a metal shaving in one of the wings. I brought it up to the worker, and he sincerely apologized and offered a refund for the wings. I appreciated the gesture and his sincere words but of course for the rest of the meal, I was picking anxiously at the food to make sure there wasn't anything else. I'll definitely come back to eat again, but I hope the kitchen team has learned from this. read more

They have a $1 wings deal ( dine in only) on mon and tues so we went n got us 15 soy garlic wings. It was delicious and crunchy as always ( been to many franchise of this brand) but $6 for the little fries in the photo feels a bit pricy. Inside was very quiet no music at all. Food came out quick as we were the only table but i imagine it could be quite crowded on the weekend since this is a popular k chicken brand. Ranch/ any sauce is not complimentary ( 70c for one). I like the pickled daikon a lot and it's a good amount in that tub for $2.50. Overall this deal make it worth the price, normally is quite pricy so glad we went n enjoyed it. read more

All that's needed here is 20 garlic soy wings. Everything else is a filler. You're welcome even though they have a B from the county

This establishment serves the best Korean fried chicken *I've* ever had thus far. Every bite of skin was crispy, the meat was always tender & juicy, and the soy garlic flavor is so delicious to me that it's the only flavor I've been able to get. And I've been here a handful of times. The garlic fries are great as well. Generously seasoned, very crispy, and the garlic punches you which I'm definitely a fan of. The donuts are nice as well. Not to sweet with a pillowy interior and slightly crunchy exterior. I love this chicken so much that any time I'm nearby I HAVE to come by and at least get a small order of deliciousness... read more

Bonchon - Updated menu - Korean Near Me - Artesia, California

I ordered a chicken katsu. The menu says "served with cole slaw". I told the server the cole slaw is missing and she says they don't serve it with cole slaw but she'll give it to me anyway...ok...? Then I dig into the food and the rice is dried out, the chicken is overcooked and tough, and the cole slaw tasted... Bitter? I don't understand what happened to this place... I paid $14 for this meal that I'm rather dissatisfied with. When they opened they gave so many sides and the food was genuine really good. I'm disappointed and I'm sorry to say I'm never returning. They are looking like they are on their last leg of life here. So good luck on your next venture. read more

I've been to these before in Dallas, however my experience in Cali is a bit underwhelming. I ordered food to my hotel . I made sure I noted to include ketchup. I didn't get any ketchup. I called to let them know I didn't get any ketchup and I was told they were out of ketchup. I also didn't get any utensils. I'm ok with that. Luckily my hotel has a restaurant attached and I was able to get utensils. But imagine I didn't have any utensils .The chicken is great ! The coleslaw was dry unfortunately. read more

First time trying Bonchon, and as a fan of Korean fried chicken, it exceeded all my expectations! We ordered the soy garlic and original drumsticks. The crunch on them was incredible. Also, it was thick and did not lack meat at all. Also ordered a side of fries and the noodles which were a great recommendation by the cashier. Will definitely be coming back. read more

I had lunch at this Artesia location with a friend. It's a fast-casual place where you order at the counter and your food is brought to your table. They have several chicken plates but are mainly known for their chicken wings/drumsticks. I decided on one of their lunch specials: 6 piece bone-in chicken with fries and a drink. I don't do spicy so requested 3 pieces with the garlic-soy coating and 3 pieces with the traditional Korean coating. Their soda machine was out of order so I was offered a canned beverage of my choice from their cooler by the pleasant and patient woman at the counter (I grabbed an A&W root beer). I took my first bite of one of the pieces....CRUNCH! Yah, that was loud. The coating was the most deliciously crunchy I've ever had. The flavor of both coatings were fantastic (they tasted the same to me but one had a mild garlic taste) and neither was spicy. The meat itself was hot, tender, and moist. The amount of meat on the wings and drums was plentiful, not the pathetically meager amount one often gets on the tiny pieces served at BWW and other places. To the best of my recollection this might be the best Korean fried chicken I've had. The delectable fries had a crunchy coating as well. The serving size was large considering the wallet-pleasing price of this lunch special. I'll definitely be back and hope they open more locations nearer to me. read more

Bonchon is one of my favorite Korean fried chicken chains and they never seem to disappoint. It's been a while since I've been back to Bonchon and it's the first time for me at the Artesia location. Service was quick for dine-in on a weeknight and it was a casual vibe. They have new flavors like Yangnyeom as well. Glad to see their menu updated! Note: their fountain drinks for this location are Stubborn sodas, but have canned sodas available as well. read more

Bonchon - Medium Wings (16 pcs) -- Half Spicy, Half Soy Garlic with Seasoned French Fries - Korean Near Me - Artesia, California

Believe the reviews. Ordered take out. Chicken tenders, boneless chicken and fries. Fries were fries, just ok. The chicken tenders are pre-breaded from a store, fried, and then dredged in sauce They were soggy and had a weird skin due to sauce and pre-breaded combo.. gross.. The boneless chicken was the star of the show.. They were fried sooo hard that I scratched my gums taking a bite. The cook at this place should make dog chew treats because that's what they are serving. I gave them to my dog. He's been fighting with one for an hour now... and losing. So it was a no for me. 40 bucks for fries and dog chews. I won't be back read more

Went to the location on Saturday 10/25 and the location seems to be closed down and emptied out.

I came in an hour before the close time on Saturday and the front was already sweeping the floor and the TV menu was off. The server told me sorry I came in on a wrong day. And the Mexican cooks in the back are already to wrap up the day. They don't seem to be ready to serve even though the Yelp and other websites said they do ?! This is second time they are turning me off. Last time 2 months ago they packed me soggy ones at 8:30pm on a Saturday. I wrote this review to help the leadership at Bonchon as I really tell people how delicious the Bonchon food is. But this location really let me down. read more

Dang they have some good tasty/crunchy chicken here! I went with the drum sticks half & half, soy garlic/spicy. Chicken came out hot and fresh and some of the best chicken i had! I thought the chicken were little wing stop style drums but no these are regular size drums. I had to take some home. I also got a order of onion rings which were good with ranch dressing. They are located in a shopping center on with the boiling point is. The inside is clean and good variety of fountain drinks. The girl at the front desk was very sweet. Going back for the potstickers and shrimp. Definitely check this place out. read more

Good not great but I liked the kimchi mixed in. The bread was good maybe a little too much for the pieces of chicken. The chicken was flavorless and dry. I expected a whole chicken breast instead of chicken strips. The box was a fun little touch. But I'll try their wings next time. read more

Came in from Tucson and this place came highly recommended by our friend and they did not disappoint. Fried chicken strips half soy garlic and the other half yang yum were amazing! Definitely a 5 star meal. Chicken fried rice fell a little short in the flavor and I've never had it with red bell peppers before so it wasn't my favorite. Store was very nice and clean with plenty of seating and our server was very friendly. read more

Bonchon - Half full cole slaw - Korean Near Me - Artesia, California

The ambiance is clean and sufficient cabling of tables. It wasn't really busy when we went around 11:30am. We ate in. While there, about 3 other patrons visited. The young lady at the counter was extremely helpful with descriptions and suggestions. Very knowledgeable. My sister and I both got the first combo-4 wings and 2 drumsticks. I got half soy garlic and half KBBQ. My sister got all soy garlic. We both wish we could mix the 2 flavors I got as the soy garlic was too sweet for us. We thought all KBBQ chicken was a bit spicy but there was no spice on these. Also, we would get all wings next time. The drumsticks were huge but we both noticed the skin on the drumsticks were not attached to the meat, leaving a space. Thought that was weird but didn't take away from the taste. I was also bummed their soda machine was gone as they have the best kinds. Hopefully it's just a short time. Overall, I'd give this place a B and might try it again. It wasn't mind blowing but tasty. read more

Bonchon - Korean Near Me - Artesia, California

I've been here a few times sampling different items from their fried rice to their Korean tacos to their wings, and the one thing I have noticed is that this place is consistent. The flavor permeates throughout the dishes and you can tell they are taking the time to ensure you have a great meal. From the front and the support the cashier provides in input and feedback to the cleanliness of the location to the food itself, everything is well maintained. I also love the fact that they use the Stubborn brand sodas here. I ordered the 8-piece combo (1/2 soy garlic and 1/2 spicy) for my most recent visit. With the combo came a drink, radish, and french fries. The wings were crisp and flavorful. I shared it with my little one and she enjoyed the soy garlic wings. My only critique is that the spicy isn't really spicy. The radish was fresh and the french fries were crispy. I'll definitely be coming by here more often. read more

We ordered delivery. The chicken was really delicious, however upon counting the chicken two drumsticks were missing. We think the delivery guy took a tip. All the restaurants need to put tamperproof packaging of the delivery containers so the food is not easily taken. The delivery guy should get an F because he honked from the street for my girl to come out and get the food. Hopefully we hear back from the manager about the chicken experience. read more

Good chicken rice and daikon! We enjoyed takeout from here, I recommend the miso garlic one. Service was above average, would come back here for sure read more

Food is great. Customer service sucks! This isn't the first time we try to come in for TAKE OUT and are greeted with an annoyed look. At 8:20 all the chairs are already on the tables and the screens are turned off. We ask if they're still taking orders and we get the big sigh and the look amongst themselves before answering with yes but made it very clear it's take out. I get it, if it's slow early on you want to get the cleaning done so you can go home on time, but it's over an hour before closing and treating patrons like they're a burden is no way to run a business. Especially with the many options for this type of food within driving distance. read more

DISAPPOINTED! Their menu display has old pricing! This was taken Feb 15, 2024. I was wondering why my receipt total was much higher than what I had computed in my head. When I asked why the price billed was different, the lady said the menu board has old prices. They need a sign somewhere saying that! FOOD: We love their wings, Bulgogi tacos, and Japchae. read more

The young man at the front was ok. The sides you have to pay for separately for them. I wanted the chicken wings covered in sauce. They were hot and juicy but no flavor I was given the sauce a spicy and ranch but I didn't like them. Maybe it will taste better with sauce might try again with sauce. It was very clean read more

Food is good. Chicken is crunchy and crispy. Love the wings and drumsticks. Only reason for the -3 stars is because I like to order for pick up using their app. Twice already they have failed to promise to have the food ready by the pick up time. I don't understand why but this is a BIG problem and they need to work on the timeliness or their orders. Why have an promised time for pick up when you are not going to honor it and work hard on making sure the order is ready at that time!? I am very disappointed by this problem occurring twice to me already. Word of advice: arrive 10-15 mins after your pick up time so you are not stuck waiting at their store due to their inexplicable tardiness. read more

Believe it or not, I actually used to make mac & kimcheese pretty often at home. It all started with some leftover mac & cheese and a jar of kimchi that was about to expire. I figured why not and ended up mixing in the kimchi, and suffice to say the experiment was a complete success! So much so that I was surprised I had never seen mac & kimcheese offered at Korean fast food or fusion restaurants before, given how delicious the makeshift dish turned out to be. I mean I get that it's a somewhat unusual combination that most people wouldn't think of off the bat, but still. Anyways, I was excited to see that Bonchon offers my favorite mac & kimcheese, and even better, it was as delicious as I remember! I loved the combination of my childhood favorite mac & cheese with the sour, tangy, & spicy flavors of kimchi. If that sounds appealing to you then I recommend giving Bonchon a try. This is a Korean fried chicken spot so they obviously have a lot of chicken options, but I only really came for the mac & kimcheese and can't speak on the other items. Interior is spacious and clean, and service was friendly and efficient. read more

Wow. Amazing taste and chrunch! Not sure if I can go back to regular fried chicken anymore. Wings are fun and delightful. Drumsticks ate good but very filling. The complementary radishes help as an acidic side to the protein. Ate this the next day (via microwave) and was still delicious. read more

Ah, Bonchon. I was excited to try this place out, but for me, this was a pass. I thought the prices were steep here, and the food wasn't worth it. With several great Korean fried chicken places already in the area, there's a certain level of expectation set by Padak and BBQ Chicken. I'm hoping it was an off day, but it didn't really meet the bar. Here's what we ordered- 6 PIECE WINGS, SOY GARLIC - $10.95 Good crispy skin, but half my order was decent but not juicy, the other half was straight up dry and not edible. The soy garlic was a little saltier compared to BBQ Chicken's. The flavoring seemed one-dimensional compared to BBQ Chicken's. On the bright side, the radish was very fresh from this place, fresher than all the BBQ Chicken locations I've tried. Lol. CHICKEN SANDWICH, SPICY - $11.95 This was alright, but dry and not juicy in the middle. Drier than all the Nashville hot chicken places in the area. Mayo was overpowering, couldn't really taste the kimchee flavor. JAPCHAE - $15.95 Supposedly had marinated rib eye. I saw tiny specs of meat in it, but not enough to consider it a decent portion. This was great, flavorful, but for the price, the portions were tiny. This place is located in the same plaza as 99 Ranch and Daiso along Pioneer Blvd. The service was great and very friendly, and it looked very clean with plenty of space for seating. Overall, decent place if you ~want to try something new ~. But meh, I took the bullet and did it for y'all. (shrug) In my opinion, not worth the steep prices. read more

Sorry ladies and gents- the food was not good and the experience way sub par. It's mostly because I have a problem with liars. Let's start with the pros: I think it will get better, and the parking is easy. Oh, and they had Stubborn soda. This place just opened... a week ago? I could be wrong, but it was very recent. Food: everything came out cold. They warned us that it might be a 45min wait for the order, so we were prepared, but then the food came out downright chilly. Well, lukewarm. They claimed that they called our name several times over the course of 5 minutes, but that was a total and utter lie. We sat right near the counter and heard our name on the first call. Either way, the food wouldn't have been cold after a few minutes. This place is understaffed or poorly trained. Someone's food sat out for the entire time that we were there, and there was serious confusion behind the counter. Vegetarian review: - fries were good. Crispy (cold, but still good). I'd say they were the best part of the meal. - Veggie potstickers might have been good on their own, but the soy glaze probably fulfilled my entire sodium intake for a week. They were fried potstickers doused in soy glaze- just, dunked in it as an afterthought. - pickled radishes: standard, and not worth the extra cost. Well, they made the potstickers edible, so yeah, I guess they were worth getting this time around. But it's a bit ironic that I paid money for them, no? The 12 piece boneless wings were not worth it. They were itty bitty, maybe 1" in diameter. Spicy ones were really spicy, or so I was told. Utensils and napkins were not readily available. I'd say it's not worth a 2nd try. read more

Sooo I came in on Saturday after placing my order online. It said it'd be ready at 11:25 so I got there a few mins early on the chance it might be ready. Welp, they hadn't even started yet as they were still technically opening up. So I asked to cancel since I was short on time and super hungry. Pending refund :) Today I went in and it was an almost seamless transactions. A little slow but they're BRAND NEW so I'll cut slack. Bon chon is iconic! They started the KFC craze. First time having it was 10+ years ago in ktown. Chicken was bamb. The radish was so crisp n fresh. Delish! Best I've had. Coleslaw was also on point. I really liked the chicken but... not more than Bunker21 next plaza over. Bunker has more of a gastro pub vibe while this has more of a casual non-alcoholic family vibe. Either is a good option in my opinion. read more

Not clean and the cashier is not friendly or helpful and food is below average. San Gabriel branch is way better.

Was on the way and called to ask for the hours. Told by Eric that it closes at 10 but kitchen closes at 9:15. He stated that the wait for two was 45 minutes and that "there were a lot of orders." We decided to still come bc our ETA was 8:30. When we got here there was only a party of two and it was empty. No one came to pick up any online orders during our entire meal. Received our meal within 10 mins of ordering. Asked if they had any salt and he said no without checking. Interesting for a restaurant/kitchen to have no salt. Food was great, but we were so turned off by the service and felt like customers weren't wanted an hour and a half before closing. Not the type to really ever write reviews, but the customer service let us down after being excited to have Bonchon after a long day of moving. read more
