This fast food chain specializes in Korean fried chicken. There are many other Korean dishes available here as well. And where have I been? Never heard of this eatery until Sunday 4/26/26! Our hungry stomachs saw the signage of this store and we were curious. This location is the first on Long Island and they have been here a little over a year. Mark, the gentleman behind the counter was friendly and knowledgeable. He answered all our questions about the chicken seasonings and other Korean dishes on the menu. We ordered Korean wings and drumsticks with soy garlic and Korean BBQ sauce. The meals come with crunchy Coleslaw or Pickled Radish. We opted to get both! We also got an order of seasoned fries on the side. We raced home and sat down to have our meal. This food did not disappoint!! We were throughly satisfied with each fresh, flavorful bite after another. Now that I've been awoken from my slumber...apparently this chain has gone viral, I am looking forward to returning and trying more signature dishes. If you're still sleeping on this place...you need to WAKE UP! And give them a visit. Thank me later.... read more

Loved the soy garlic wings and the sotteok. The chicken sandwich was just alright, I probably wouldn't get it again. The radish was very plain, not your usual pickled taste. The seasoned fries was too salty for my taste. Friendly service but had to wait a little bit before the food was ready. read more

I love Bonchon Chicken! Somehow my first time at Bonchon Centereach was less than a steller experience. My wife & I walk in during lunch and its not too crowded. After reviewing the menu board, we decided on the Seoul Sampler. The Seoul Sampler comes with 2 drumsticks, 4 wings, Bulgogi Fries, Pork Potstickers, Korean Street Corn and Coleslaw. The restaurant is smaller than most Bonchon restaurants, it's more of a chain restaurant style take out spot. I asked the casher, do you have any plates and utensils? Yes, when your meal is ready it will be with your order. The meal comes out and there are no plates. My wife went to the register and asked for plates. She was told they don't have any?? We were given a to go box and we ate out of the to go boxes. The chicken drumsticks and wings were fantastic. The soy garlic is our favorite. Then, everything else went south. Bulgogi Fries - The Bulgogi was fine on top of the fries. They added a mayo sauce on top, my wife was out. The Korean Street Corn had the same mayo sauce. The coleslaw is mayo based so, I liked them but my wife said no bueno. The next time we come, it will be for chicken drumsticks and onion rings... read more

Good location and good food option for bunching and nice Korean chicken. Service was not bad , just a kiosk to order and a somewhat confused cashier . I ordered the spicy wings which were a bit pricy and did not come equally coated with the sauce but they were mostly crunchy . They didn't have many utensils or napkins and they didn't even have hot sauce , the place was like a diner low level service but food wasn't bad yet expensive. I would recommend this place mainly for the food but nothing else read more

Staff was kind and patient, seating area is clean and orderly the inside decor was eye catching and pleasant, Bathroom was clean and tidy, The food was made fresh and hot and ready to eat I really enjoyed my experience here I would definitely come back the food was amazing!! read more

This was very good! My fiancé told me about bonchon fried chicken months ago and when I found out we were getting a bonchon just 15 minutes away, we had to go! I ordered 6 boneless wings; soy garlic and Korean BBQ. Both were so good! I also ordered seasoned fries. They were good, not great, but still good in flavor and crispy. My fiancé ordered drumsticks and they are HUGE. He also opted for soy garlic and he really enjoyed as well. Service was very friendly! Prior to arriving we couldn't find it in the shopping center as the GPS brought us to the wrong location. I called and spoke to a kind gentleman who told us exactly where they were. Very helpful. The girl working the counter this afternoon was also kind. Everything is made to order. This is NOT fast food. You will wait a little for your order, but it's worth it! Yummy! read more

Bonchon, which translates to "my hometown" in Korean, embodies a warm and inviting atmosphere that makes it perfect for families looking for a casual dining experience. The eatery offers a delightful blend of Korean flavors and Asian fusion dishes that keep patrons coming back for more. During my recent visit while spending time with my parents, we decided to explore the menu, ordering a variety of dishes to find our favorites. The House Fried Rice was a standout, featuring perfectly cooked rice tossed with eggs, red bell peppers, onions, and scallions, all enhanced by a savory Soy Garlic sauce and topped with sesame seeds. The Korean Street Corn was another highlight, grilled to perfection and slathered in Kewpie Mayo, mozzarella, and Korean red chili flakes, creating a deliciously creamy and spicy treat. We also indulged in the K-Meal To-Go for 4-6, which included a generous mix of 12 wings or boneless pieces and 6 drumsticks accompanied by two sides. We chose the soy garlic and Korean BBQ sauces, both of which added a rich, flavorful kick to the chicken. Lastly, the Bao Buns filled with savory pork belly, complemented by cucumbers, coleslaw, spicy mayo, and katsu sauce, offered a delightful texture and taste that rounded out our meal perfectly. Overall, Bonchon Centereach delivered a satisfying and enjoyable dining experience that catered to everyone's tastes. I can't say much about the service since I ordered ahead of time, but when I arrived, the items were ready to go. read more

Service: This location has kiosks to order your food which is very nice and convenient. It has the feeling of a fast casual establishment. I would recommend eating at the location! To-go wing orders steam in the box and is not as crunchy when eaten at home. Food: Soy Garlic Wings - Favorite. The sticky sauce coats the chicken like a dream. It has a delicious sweet, soy, and garlic flavor. The to-go experience knocked it down a star in my experience. On to my next adventure... read more

Honestly, I don't get why this place doesn't have better reviews, our experience was fantastic! From the moment we walked in, the service was super friendly and attentive. I think we were chatting with the owner, and he mentioned that everything is made fresh and battered the same day. You could really taste that quality in the food. Now, full disclosure: I'm vegetarian, so I'm not exactly the fried chicken expert here, but I still found plenty to enjoy. I tried the Korean-style corn dog (vegetarian version with cheese inside and crispy fried potato cubes on the outside) and wow so good! I dipped it in the spicy mayo and that combo was fireeee. I also had the street corn, which had a great balance of sweetness and spice, and the vegetable potstickers with soy garlic sauce. The potstickers were perfectly fried and seasoned... crispy, flavorful, and totally satisfying. My husband got the 6-piece boneless wings with the sweet sauce and he really enjoyed them. He's a bit more of a fried chicken connoisseur than I am and said they hit the spot. If you're craving Korean fried food, this is a great place to check out, especially since there aren't many Korean spots this far out in Centereach. It's definitely worth a visit! read more

It reminded me of a KFC, but with an Asian twist. I wouldn't mind trying the fried rice next time or the Katsu chicken. We went with boneless chicken wings and made it a combo, I got a side of fries and it comes with coleslaw or radish. It was super busy on a Saturday afternoon but we found a table and our food came out in a timely matter. read more

Went on a Sunday night around dinner and I was prepared for some type of lines but I was pleased that there were not too many people inside. Ordering was done on a self serve kiosk but there are staff members available for any questions. We ordered a mixed box of boneless wings (half korean bbq and half spicy), bao buns, and seasoned fries. Everything came out hot but the chicken was not as crispy as I would have expected. The spicy sauce was absolutely spicy and the fries are tasty but everything was super salty. The pickled radish was a good palate cleanser in between bites. The food was a great value for the price we paid and nothing was bad but I don't think we would go out of our way to come back again. read more

I wish they had an indicator of how hot the sauces were because I couldn't even finish the Korean bbq sauce thankfully I had half plain half spicy. It was good but nothing super special. I waited a half hour after I put my order in, & it was a little chaotic inside. Mostly people waiting for their orders. The staff was trying their best. Inside was pretty basic. Bathrooms needed some love. My biggest gripe was the online ordering. I placed an order, they canceled it and still took my $ lol read more

I was super excited for this restaurant to finally open. We ordered Togo. We got a mix wings and drum in the sou garlic sauce. It was delicious. The chicken had a nice crunch and the sauce was so good not overly salty. The chicken katsu was a little dry but still good. I was disappointed in the pickle radish. It wasn't good at all. Overall i would go back but i will say the food is pretty pricey. read more

The chicken coating is not what i remember many years ago at the location on chamber st. NY. This coating, tasty was pulling off the meat. The inside really had not much flavor. Wasn't bad, but not what i remember when it was pungent and skin crispy close to the meat. Service was fine. I may give it one more try. read more

We decided to try this newly opened restaurant. I called to place an order, but they do not take orders over the phone (per Corporate rules,) only online. And the online App was not up and running yet. Located in a small storefront, in an extremely small & busy side parking lot. The restaurant was very busy!!! There are approximately 10-12 tables for eating in. The line to order was out the door, and remained that way, with only 1 counter person taking orders, which was frustrating during Grand Opening days. The food orders go through a kitchen window and there is someone expediting the orders out. I don't think it's a great system, fairly chaotic, and once online orders get rolling, and possibly delivery services, I cannot imagine it working efficiently. We ordered a bunch of things to try. The Udon Noodle Soup wasn't great. The broth looked like soy sauce and the noodles didn't have a pleasant flavor. Beef bulgogi was excellent. Great flavor, the meat was tender. Pork belly fried rice was mediocre. Some of the rice was in sticky clumps and still white. The wings (we had soy garlic sauce) were excellent. Delicious crunch and decent sized wings. The Boneless Wings (we had Korean BBQ sauce) were also very good. Again, a nice crunch, and a nice meaty piece of chicken. The sauce was very spicy. Lastly, we had the pork pot stickers. They were excellent, with a nice outside crunch, but tender inside. We thought the portions were small, (between pint and quart sized portions,) and it was quite pricey. Customer service was good amid the craziness and still clearly learning, which was expected. read more

Located in the heart of Long Island, New York, Centereach, Bonchon made its grand opening earlier this week and I have to say that I was impressed by their wide selection of Korean fried chicken and the amount of people waiting on line!! This place was jammed packed to the BRIM! Bonchon offers an array of quality Korean fried chicken and not only packing some flavor but quality of food. Since they just opened earlier this week, I would recommend getting there before rush hour, which is 4/5pm. I reached there at 4pm and got done with my food by 5ish. The wait was definitely worth it because I was able to get my hands on some WELL deserved Korean fried chicken. I would highly recommend getting their selection box. I got myself the 6 wings and 2 drums selection box with half Korean BBQ and half spicy sauce! Highly recommend the spicy sauce, it definitely comes with a kick but nothing overpowering. Also got myself their fried chicken bao buns! The coleslaw works very well with the fried chicken inside. A little messy but still flavorful. Then for my final bite I got the Bulgogi fries with EXXTRA cheese and Bulgogi! Bulgogi for those that do not know, is a thinly sliced beef. Often grilled or stir fried, extremely yummy! I would highly recommend stopping by and grabbing yourself a wing or two! Kayla the cashier was phenomenal!! She handled 100 customers BY HERSELF and was sooo loving! Thank you! Welcome to the heart of Long Island! read more

I've eaten at many Bonchons throughout New York. This is not Bonchon. I had high hopes, thankful one opened around me and ordered a party size of wings. They were very soggy, worse than frozen hungryman chicken. It was inedible and the family couldn't eat it. For the owner, please train your staff. Whoever cooked that night, they clearly don't know what they're doing. Very disappointing, read more

I went to Bonchon for the soft opening and it was GREAT! The chicken is off-the-charts delicious! The wings are large and meaty and SO SO CRISPY! They offer 3 different sauces and you can split your order with 2 sauces. The 2 I had were delicious. I met the owner and he was super nice. Staff was friendly too. I went back with my husband and it was PACKED! I'm glad this business is being well received, as it's a great addition to the local food scene. read more

Was the first ever customer here. Service was slow and had to wait 15 to 20 minutes for the food to be done, but it was opening day. They forgot my coleslaw and there was a $5 off $25 coupon sitting on the register which nobody received. The instagram hinted at prizes, etc. and nobody got anything read more

I was hopeful but disappointed. The chicken sandwich was overcooked and dry. The cost for two people, including only a chicken sandwich and a sampler dish, no drink, was $60! Some of the items in the sampler were good, like the fried chicken, but definitely not worth the price. I will not be going back. read more

We just had the drumsticks!!! Even better than the boneless. It almost reminds me of modifies fried chicken. Get the soy ginger drumsticks!!! read more

First time vistor and possibly the last time as well My son stopped in and picked up a 5 piece strip and got a big box filled with tiny pices of fried bread. He was the last customer in the store tonight and i think they just dumped what ever was in the fryer into the box. It also came with pickled radish and the smell was rancid. For a brand new store trying to make an impression, its not happening. Ive heard really good things about this store but after seeing and smelling this mess, i don't know if i would go back. I emailed them about the issue. Received a canned response that they received my email and someone would be in touch. Nobody ever did even after i sent a follow up email. That answered my question if i would return read more

Bonchon never disappoints. I ordered the soy garlic and classic crunch, and both were absolutely delicious--perfectly crispy on the outside with tons of flavor in every bite. The chicken was cooked just right and tasted super fresh. On top of that, the guy behind the register was really lively and welcoming, and he was more than happy to help whenever we had questions. Great food and great service all around. I'll definitely be coming back. read more

All of their food is ridiculously over salted. Barely edible and your tongue will end up numb.

I was excited to try a local Bon Chon because the last time I ate at one was a few years ago in Flu Shing. Please don't dine in at this location unless you want a quick bite from a small order. I ate with a friend and they are ill-equipped for dining patrons. They brought us the orders in takeout containers, styrofoam plates and lousy plastic utensils. It was a joke, but the food is very tasty, and expensive. I must have had the same cashier as another, haha... I will be back for take-out! read more

I had the fried chicken drumsticks. They were large, cooked perfectly and tasted great. I previously tried other things off menu that weren't great. But I recommend the wings/ drums read more

We order wings from everywhere. The wings at Bonchon are by far the BEST. They are so flavorful and crispy. I brought an assortment of wings, fried rice and the corn home one night and my family devoured every last bite. We will definitely be ordering on a regular basis. read more

very good place to eat and chill out, the place is a vibe aside from the mechanic shop near it, the service is very good and the people behind the counter are very kind and got my food out quick, it was my first time, and they helped me pick out a few things from the menu to eat. Overall this is a very nice place to go i would recommend to go. read more

The service was great. I was greeting with a warm smile by the girl behind the counter. My food came out warm and so good. I really love their donuts and Japchae are so good. I also like the bulgogi fries. Worth the visit. read more

So glad this opened in our area. There were so many things that looked amazing on the menu we didn't know what to get. My husband loved the bulgogi fries and the soy garlic boneless. I really enjoyed the tacos (it was such a big portion I had to take the rest home) and the potstickers. I have 2 very hard to impress toddlers and they absolutely loved the tenders, corn and french fries. Was glad they had a plain chicken option for the kids and the tenders were so big they were almost the size of their forearm. We tried the seasoned fries too and they are very flavorful. You could tell the chicken was very high quality and nothing was greasy at all. We def have to go back to try the Katsu and the donuts. It's our new fav place. read more

Everything was amazing! The food, the service, the ambiance. The fried Korean wings are to die for!! Please give this place a try, you won't be disappointed. read more
