    Well I have been looking forward to trying this place. We got 12 wings 1/2 spicy 1/2 Korean bbq a side of kimchi. The good: I liked the kimchi. (And the pickled radishes) The not so good: the wings. They tasted almost fake. I was expecting a stickler, crunchier and fully cooked feel. Instead it tasted like a fake wing with a lot of breading. The flavor of the Korean bbq was just ok. For the price and the quality I don't think I would go back. Primanti brothers has a sweet/spicy flavor that I like better and similarly fake-ish wings I can get for a lot less. Too bad.

    6 wings in Korean BBQ (left) and 6 in Yangnyeom, $16.95.  Good but need to be more Korean-fried-chicken crispy.

    I've tried Bonchon years ago in MD. It finally made its way to the area last year (in the fall of 2023). It's another nice addition to the Capital City Mall. BTW, I am happy that the Harrisburg area is turning more "metropolitan" as more and more trendier ethnic establishments come to town: Boba Cha and Bonchon in the mall, and I heard that Kongfu Tea will be opening up on Carlisle Pike. But it stills plays catch-up to Lancaster and York. I digress. We tried the 12 piece wings ($16.95). For choices of sauce we skipped the more familiar soy sauce and the spicy, and opted for the more curious Korean BBQ and the Yangnyeom. You're only allowed to choose up to 2 in an order BTW. It took less than 5 minutes, I kind of wished it took longer so we'd know for sure they were made to order. The batch were an assortment of wings and drumettes (3 and 9, respectively.) They weren't pronouncedly crispy like Korean fried chicken are known for, but at least they were temperature hot. The Korean BBQ taste good but kind of went unnoticed, while the Yangnyeom sauce which is garlicky, sweet, and (not so) spicy. I prefer and recommend the latter. Not a bad outing. The only miss today was the crust could have been crispier and thicker as should be the case if you deep-fry twice.

    First time trying Bonchon, I ordered the Classic Crunch 6 PC MIXED: 4 WINGS + 2 DRUMS , PICKLED RADISH and COLESLAW. Chicken was juicy and crunchy A+.

    Harrisburg should recognize this place more as some of the best chicken around. We don't have many fried chicken wing spots around, and when you think fried chicken it's usually heavy. However Korean chicken tends to be lighter. This is a thinner and lighter coating on the chicken, it's crispy, not much flavor, but it's juicy and the sauces do the talking. The wings are a bit bigger than other places. Also, if you get the drums on their menu, THEY'RE BIG. Don't order too much. Soy Garlic and Spicy are both great options. Get the spicy mayo and yemyeong to dip. Fries good, the seasoned ones are even better. The corn is interesting as well with a bit of cheese and something else I can't remember. We definitely need more Korean chicken spots in Harrisburg, and this place should get more recognition. I was debating between 4 or 5 stars, I didn't want to give it 5 because the sides aren't anything special, but I'm at 4.5 because the chicken is that good.

    Bonchon newly opened in the food court at Capital City Mall. I had high expectations for this chain Korean fried chicken experience, however it definitely fell flat for me with every dish. From best to worst: 1. The huge chicken drums had a thick crust to them and although the sauce had good flavor the chicken itself was bland and dry. 2. The Tteokboki or rice cake dish also had a nice spicy kick, but lacked depth flavor you would usually find in this dish-- it was just spice. 3. Seasoned fries was nearly $8 bucks and we barely got a half container-- the quantity similar to small fries at McDonald's. Seasoning was not flavorful at all. Waste of $$. 4. Last but definitely the worst, was the Japchae or glass noodles. Noodles were over cooked and completely BROKEN into small pieces. Veggies were soggy and mushy. The quantity was pitiful for almost $18 bucks! The only good thing about this dish was they used bulgogi seasoning so if you like that taste you may like this. But take it from me, NOT worth the price tag. All in all, I would rate this experience 4/10. Maybe because it's new and their testing things out. I would give them another chance in a few months to see if things change.

I believe Michelle (the owner) was our server, she is very personable and very sweet. They even have Hershey chocolates on all the tables so there are treats available for any of their guests. We ordered the bibimbap, pork mandu, seafood jeon (pancakes), japchae, Yangnyum chicken, and pork belly with cheese (I over order, every time, all the time ). The bibimbap and pork mandu I didn't try, but my cousin did enjoy it, the seafood jeon was delicious--seafood wasn't over cooked and it was not salty. The japchae noodles seemed a little over cooked, they didn't have the springiness I expect when I chew. Thr Yangnyum chicken was .. well, a little too breaded and fried and not what I expected at all. The sauce was a mix of sour and sweet salty spicy but not like a traditional Korean sweet and sour--I did not care for it at all (seemed Americanized?)--hard pass. The pork belly and cheese was amazing, imagine pork belly and chewy rice kicks in the most amazing not-too-spicy sauce paired with ooey gooey cheese. This alone was worth the trip! Soooo good. I just wished the baby was more cooperative during our dine in so we could have eaten more while it was piping hot. The amazingness of a few of these dishes really still makes this place five stars, especially with the awesomeness of a wonderful server/hostess/owner! I may not make it back here for a year or two but this place is definitely recommended for someone looking for Korean food.

    I love kimchi and buy kimchi from Asian supermarkets whenever I have the opportunity.  But this is…read moreby far the best kimchi I've ever had.  Not sure how best to describe it, but the flavors are so "full", mouth-wateringly delicious, and without any hint of "artificial" aftertaste.  I mean, it's not by accident that it's part of the establishment's name, right? By the way, "Kimchee" is not a misspell; it's actually the Korean spelling to the more popularized Japanese spelling, "kimchi". Kimchi is a banchan/appetizer by itself but can accompany anything to kick it up a notch.  It's also a great source of probiotics. I most often add it to my rice dishes being Asian American and all, but I am looking forward to try it on a burger next time I get a chance -- a tip I just heard from Kevin the co-owner.  Joyce ("the" kimchee girl?) & Kevin operate their business with heart and soul and I won't hesitate to recommend that you to give their kimchi a taste. Kimchee Girl takes online orders for its kimchi products, but it also sets up tents outside of its office during the week and offers BBQ lunch boxes such as bone-in pork chops, kalbi short ribs, and (I haven't tried) Kimchee dogs. All of them of course feature their flagship Napa cabbage kimchi.  They also do pop-ups from time to time at events and farmers markets. You can also find their products locally in retail stores such as the Cornerstone Coffeehouse and the Healthy You Café.

Kimchee handmakes and packages each jar of Kimchee. The packaging is sooo cute! And obviously the Kimchee and everything else is so yummy! I have visited Kimchee Girl I think 2 times now and I am never disappointed, from yummy food to great and personal service!
