    This place was a nice surprise. I love Korean bbq style food and these wings had awesome flavor and were super crispy. Even my husband liked and he's pretty particular about wings. The place is casual and a bot carries the food to the table.

    Chicken Combo 4 Wings 2 Drumsticks with kimchi

    Decided to stop in for lunch today to get the lunch special...it was good but I got the Korean again I forgot they I like the soy better lol, for a lunch special it was a LOT of food... very fresh and delicious, the fries were so good and you could tell that they were freshly made. If you're looking for chicken with a good crunch and flavor this is the spot!

    Half & half soy garlic and spicy

    The Tteokbokki was spicy and cheesy good. They added 2 veggie potstickers on top. Also had tried the Bulgogi stir fry Udon, which was amazing. Red peppers and bulgogi were in the dish. Great flavors and had the right amount of seasoning. We like the Udon Noodles, so this was a new dish to try for us. Last of all had the chicken katsu on rice and side of Cole slaw. Like that they have robot servers that brings the food to the table. The servers will come by to take the food and place on the table for you.

    Chicken  Seoul Sampler

    I got the Seoul sampler. The food was pretty good. I did order pickup so I didn't realize there was a sign that said due to the bird flu the chickens will be medium size. Korean fried chicken is know for there large and plump drums/wings. If the fried chicken was the original size I would say it's definitely worth coming here to check out! However the chicken pieces I got were pretty small. I would say it's quite overpriced currently. Definitely wait until they go back to the original drum/wing sizes before coming here!

    If you're a fan of crispy, flavorful chicken, Bonchon Korean Fried Chicken is an absolute must-try. The chicken is perfectly fried to a golden. I went for their signature soy garlic flavor and spicy chicken. They both had just the right balance of sweet and savory, with a bit of a kick. The Korean donuts were a perfect finish to the meal. Crispy on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside. Overall, Bonchon nails it. Fried chicken and beer? You can't go wrong. Highly recommend!

    This a good quick fix when it comes to the basics of Korean cuisine. This is my first time trying the fried chicken and it was not bad at all. Next time I hope to enjoy it on location, so it is nice and fresh! We ordered a bunch from this place including fried chicken, corn, pork belly plate that comes with rice, kimchi, and a friend egg. All great. They have a lot on the menu so I hope if I am ever in town or around another chain, I can try more. We got it delivered, and it came on time, and everything was intact and ready to eat.

    Pork belly buns
    Maria T.

    Ambiance 4* - simple, modern, spacious, warehouse-feel ceilings, cool light features. Cute robot helps bring out the food. Service 5* - nice guy who answered questions re the menu. He also recommended the pork buns which were to die for!! Refilled drinks without us having to ask. Food 5* - omg... The pok belly buns are a MUST have. The texture of the bun is soft and delicious. I was nervous about the pork belly texture coz of the fat but it had a great fried texture. The sauce was super yum. And the wings... The crispiness of the skin was amazing. And their sauces were so flavorful. The soy garlic sauce was bomb. Order the yum yum sauce if you like spicy. Equally delicious. They bring out the chicken with a cubed picked radish side. Nice pairing with the sweet and spicy sauces. You must eat the chicken with white rice! Takes it to another level. We will be back! Other: lots of mall parking.

    Mixed half plain half soy garlic lunch special wings, the sauce is Delicious!

    Great restaurant! All of the staff were so nice, from the hostess at the door to our server and the food was Delicious! Will definitely be back!

    Mixed 6 wings and 3 drums

    I got the mixed 6 wings + 3 drums in half & half (soy garlic and Korean BBQ) flavors, plus seasoned fries. This was for takeout. In my experience Korean fried chicken usually holds up well even for delivery/takeout, but in this case the chicken and fries both got soggy. I tried heating them back up in the air fryer, but they still weren't as crispy as I was hoping. The soy garlic and Korean BBQ chicken were very salty and didn't have much else flavor besides that. The seasoned fries were a bit bland (or got overshadowed by the chicken), so they did balance out a bit.

    Bulgogi Fries
    Aishah P.

    Had a nice lunch with friends at Bonchon on Sunday and had a pleasant time! We were seated quickly and the food was amazingggg! I highly recommend the bulgogi fries and the wings with Yang Yum sauce! We had the pork buns as well and they were delicious but I wish it had more filling. Our server was so friendly and the restaurant had a chill vibe, would come back again

    Overall (C) Just your average over priced small portion chain trying to corner the market on Korean fried chicken but serving an inferior product while chasing profit margins. This is the worst Korean fried chicken I have ever had. Just go to bbq.chicken in Hmart or Kogi Kogi express or choongman chicken in park to shop. All 3 options are 10x better. Now I know why it is never crowded and why no actual Koreans are ever there. Expensive and poor quality. Value (D) It's expensive and not a good value. With tip and tax I paid around $14 for a few small pieces of chicken and some pickled radish. The total food cost might have been around $1.50. You all can check out the pic and tell me if this a lunch special you would pay for. This place would be a total ripoff during non lunch special hours.. Quality (C) The chicken was okay and the yum yum sauce wasn't bad - but the garlic soy tasted weird. Note I have had KFC numerous times and the taste was off. I don't know if they messed up the sauce or burnt it but it was weird. Service (B) They were nice enough there and the food didn't take too long to come out. But some of the other tables had clearly been waiting for a long time. I think they are understaffed. My recommendation would be to skip this place and not waste your time. So many better alternatives that won't have you feeling screwed. They don't really care about serving good food. I really wanted this place to be good as it is close to my office and I could introduce my coworkers. But not happening. Other similar places that I think will go out of business, close locations or dramatically slow expansion are Kura revolving sushi, crumbl cookies, five guys and Bombay Eats. They all are similar - 1. Poorly trained staff 2. Over priced items 3. Too much bad marketing - lots of hype but little follow through 4. Not enough food - small portion sizes or unavailable items 5. Skimping on quality 6. Trying to maximize price on every item and offering little differentiated value 7. Defensive and tone deaf to feedback 8: lack of repeat visits 9. Managing by excel and not actually in the locations 10. Absent management or lack of invested owners All the positive reviews should be prefaced with "I have never been to a real Korean fried chicken place...so I think this place is good, because...."

    The food seems to be good but it is awful expensive. I will have to give this another try one day to base my final decision.

    Are the wings breaded?

    Yes! There's a light crispy, crunchy breading on the wings. It's one of my favorite parts about them!

They have shared parking so you don't have to worry about finding a spot. They have a good amount of seating available. You can either order from the kiosk or from the employee. I did a combo this time with 8 wings, fries, and a drink. I always choose bone-in. I got Ying's orange sauce and Asian Cajun. Asian Cajun is pretty good. The orange sauce is decent. My favorites would have to be Asian Cajun, salted egg, soy garlic, lemon pepper, honey thai chili, and buldak & gochujang. My girlfriend had the snow cheese and I thought it was okay.

This venue has unique asian inspired flavors and we ended up trying the buldak gochujang, sisig, and salted egg wings with buldak ranch fries. The wings were a good size, very crispy, and bursting with flavor. My favorite was the buldak gochujang, it wasn't too spicy and the gochujang flavors were coming through. My wife enjoyed the Filipino sisig flavor and the salted egg was the most unique, but still delicious. The fries were also excellent, everything about this place was very positive and we'll be ordering again soon as one of our new favorite go-tos. Best, Charlie

    Very disappointed with my takeout experience tonight. I ordered two vegetarian sushi rolls and one…read moreseafood roll, and when I picked up the order they were all placed in the same container. Unfortunately my wife is vegetarian and the seafood roll included fish eggs, so that obviously doesn't work. I called the restaurant to ask if the order could be remade and simply packaged separately. At first I was told no, and after speaking with the manager it turned into an unnecessarily difficult conversation before they finally agreed to remake it. What was most disappointing wasn't the initial mistake -- those happen -- but the attitude and unwillingness to correct something that was such a simple fix. As someone who works in the hospitality industry, I strongly believe that taking care of your guests and making things right should always come first. Losing a loyal customer over the cost of a few sushi rolls simply doesn't make sense. Restaurants, especially those serving seafood and shellfish, should be mindful that many guests have dietary restrictions, allergies, or lifestyle choices like vegetarian or vegan diets. Unless it's clearly stated otherwise, customers should be able to expect that separate items will be packaged separately. Unfortunately this experience has made me reconsider supporting a place I've visited and recommended many times before in Downers Grove. Hoping this is something they reflect on for the future.
