Whether dinning in or ordering take out, you cannot go wrong! The best wings ever! We always buy the biggest quantity so that we can air fry the leftovers! We love that you can also order more traditional Korean food too! Service is fast and they care about how it's presented even with takeout/grubhub. Quiet hidden restaurant, one of our favorites! read more

My granddarlings and I felt really unwelcome at this location and the Asian server we initially had was inexplicably replaced by a Caucasian chick who was nice but had no explanation for the switch-up and the whole experience was very weird. Glad they got sold to someone who is not racist. read more

I have had there wings before but have never been to the restaurant. This place was so nice and decorated when we walked in. They are also attached to a boba place. The food was very good. The spicy wings were very hard to finish but if you like to torture yourself, these are the ones. I would highly recommend this place but unless you like hot fire, get a different flavor. read more

I have had Bon Chon to go and loved it so much so I wanted to experience it in person. We were greeted by the hostess who was smiling and friendly. Our waitress however, was not engaging, did not smile, and wasn't friendly. We had a question about the sides and she barely explained how the side items worked and seemed as if we were annoying her. Aside from that, the Korean Fried Chicken was true to form, crunchy and delicious! We ordered a side of regular fries and they were ok. You get a choice of white rice, coleslaw, or pickled radish. I had the coleslaw and it was basic. I love that they have roomie tables! The decor is simplistic with red walls, the logo all around, and nice simplistic chandeliers. Overall,the experience was nice. I'll probably just get takeout next time. read more

I've always talked about how I wanted to try Korean Fried Chicken and I was at an appointment that way, so my husband brought me here for a date night. It's a beautiful place and we were seated by the waiter. We tried the chicken and it's the best chicken I've ever had in a while. It was crispy and thought I don't like legs, this made me want more! I heard of Kimchi, but didn't think I would want to try it, but it was different and not bad at all. The waiter suggested we try the rice with a protein in it and it was very filling. There was no wait and it was very beautiful inside. Definitely recommend! read more

Bonchon Pineville - Korean Fried Chicken Mixed 6 PC 4Wings 2 Drums - Korean Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Flavorful Wings & Fast Service! Talk about delicious, flavorful wings and fast service--Bonchon Pineville never disappoints! We decided to mix things up and go on Mother's Day, and it was the perfect choice. No long wait, just great food and good vibes. We ordered 20 wings (both flavors) and between the three of us, we still had five left--plenty of food! The wings were perfectly crispy and packed with bold, addictive flavor. The French fries were solid too--crispy and satisfying. BUT the cold slaw is a little subpar. If you're craving Asian-style wings and want something quick, tasty, and consistent, this is your spot. And don't forget the boba tea--definitely the cherry on top. Always a win! read more

The irony is that for a wing place, it's horrible. See pic. I think they get their chicken from Walmart. The Ostrich sized GMO "Chicken Legs" are what Walmart sells. It's gross. I grew up in K Town Los Angeles. I expected better, way better. Their bulgogi French fries and corn was good though but I went for the wings and what a letdown! For wings just head to Voodoo Wings. It's way better and the price is way cheaper than Bonchon. This place is way overpriced for the absence of quality. Do better. read more

Bonchon Pineville - Ostrich GMO "Chicken Legs" - Korean Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Ordered the mixed (10 wings + 5 drumsticks) fried chicken and a side of seasoned fries. I believe everything was made to order - all food was fresh/hot. You'll also have a decent wait for the food. I had soy garlic on the wings and korean bbq on the drumsticks. Out of those two flavors, korean bbq was my favorite. Everything was crispy, however the wings seemed to have more breading. The drumsticks were perfect - tender/juicy meat, with crispy skin and the sauce! No dipping sauce needed!! My previous review for the seasoned fries stands. If fries could be tossed in the seasoning for an EVEN COAT would be great. Service was okay. After receiving our food server didn't come back to check on us but arrived to provide the check. read more

I really enjoyed their Bulgogi Tacos, so decided to check out their Spicy Chicken Tacos this time... Well, all I can say is that these tacos did the trick for me. 2 large-sized, soft tacos with an abundance of spicy chicken, sauces and lettuce. Yummy! I would have liked it even more is if they added another veggie or so (maybe even Kimchi?). In any case, this 2-taco plate was priced right under 10 bucks...so only about 5 bucks each? Made for a super-cheap lunch! Service was always kinda iffy at this location. I can't say much about the waitress (she was a bit awkward...not communicative at all?), but the manager (I think?) was nice enough to come by to check on things. Also, this location made some renovations to make the place more colorful and comfy...with their new red booths. This place used to have somewhat of an uncozy vibe...so I totally welcome these changes! This may not be fine dining...but now, it's definitely what I'd consider comfort dining! read more

Chicken is very unique- I normally don't like fried chicken but this was definitely something else lightly fried whole size actual drumsticks loved it. The bimbamp was good. The Japchae was good. The mozzarella stick forgot what it was called was good (had cinnamon on it reminded me of Cinnamon Toast Crunch which I love). Only thing I wasn't a fan of was the ranch sauce. Will be back for more chicken and to try their fried rice next time. read more

Friendly service. Drink was always filled including a to-go cup without asking. Chicken was crunchy on the outside and moist & tender on the inside. Radishes are mild and sweet. So many more Korean dishes to try. read more

I've been coming to this restaurant for quite some time, and it's usually one of my go-to spots when I'm in the area. The food is typically fresh and flavorful, the service is consistent, and pickup orders are ready on time. But my most recent visit really shook my confidence in that reliability. I placed my order as usual and received a confirmation followed by a message with the pickup time. I knew I'd be a little late, so I figured my food would be ready and waiting by the time I arrived. Instead, I was told by the host--a young man I hadn't seen before--that the kitchen was running behind and it would be out shortly. While waiting, I ordered a cold drink, assuming my food would be ready by the time it was made. It wasn't. I checked again. He looked at the screen, walked to the back, and said the same thing, "very soon." I waited. And waited. I watched as delivery drivers and other customers came and went with their orders, while mine still hadn't surfaced. Eventually, another staff member noticed how long I'd been waiting and asked for my receipt. That's when they realized my order had never even been entered into the kitchen. It had been received but never submitted. So after nearly an hour in the restaurant, they were just beginning to cook my food. The same host again said, "It should be ready in a few minutes," but by then, that reassurance didn't mean much. When I finally received the food, 55 minutes after I arrived, it was still wrong. We ordered potstickers with soy garlic sauce. They arrived completely dry, without a drop of sauce. And there were no utensils included, even though we had requested them. So not only was the order late, it was also incorrect and missing key items. What disappointed me most was that no one made any effort to make things right, not a free drink, not a discount, not even a sincere apology. The restaurant wasn't busy, so it's hard to excuse the lack of attention or care. I've had enough good experiences here in the past to not write it off completely, but this visit made me question whether that past consistency is still something they stand for. read more

First time trying Korean BBQ, so I was cautious in my ordering. Restaurant located in, of course, a shopping mall. It's right next to Walmart. Right of Pineville Matthews Road. Wide spacious seating with a very friendly and helpful front desk person. You can order online or done in person. I did option 1. Very expansive menu, so I ordered the spicy chicken fried rice. Steaming hot and very fresh. I ordered the Korean Fried Chicken. Think of the chicken being fried twice. Ordered drums and wings. Did the half and half of soy garlic and Korean BBQ. No wow factor on this visit. But an A plus on service. I'll put them back on rotation and try something different on the food journey read more

So I have never had food from this Bonchon. Not my favorite Ordered the Mopo Corn dog - was expecting a fun Mozzarella dog -- really just batter ans only about 3 inches long. Ordered Chicken fried Rice with extra chicken, really tasteless. Then 12 pieces of their Boneless Fried Chicken with Soy Garlic sauce - tasted like it was fried earlier in the day . So I was not pleased. The Park Road venue I loved - this one is a No. sorry ... read more

This place has the best wings in Charlotte by a huge margin. They're not buffalo wings, they're Korean wings. They are massive and are so crispy that you can hear an audible "crunch" with each bite, yet, they are sauced and the meat is tender and flavorful. The 2 original flavors are soy garlic and hot which are both great, but they have added several more flavors including Korean BBQ and Yangnyeom (which is a sweet, savory, and garlicky). I simply can't choose a favorite--they're all so good. The Korean BBQ is quite sweet and sticky--Asian meat candy--which is irresistible. The wings are so large that 5 of them comprise a generous portion and an order of 10 is a massive feast. (They heat up nicely, retaining their crispiness, in the air fryer.) The wings are served with a side of sweet crunchy daikon chunks which is the perfect accompaniment though you can opt for cole slaw. Daikon is the way to go in my opinion. The fries are impeccable as well--coated fries that are crisp and fresh and without a bit of greasiness. We especially love the bulgogi fried rice as a side. The chicken strips are large cutlets and also crispy and impressive. Lastly, this location is tucked and hidden in the back of the strip shopping center. It's definitely worth finding. It's never as busy as it should be given how outstanding everything is. read more

While located in the back of a shopping plaza this place does not disappoint. We have ordered takeout and general stick to rice and chicken but as family came town we introduced them to Bonchon and ordered a few new items. The chicken sliders were delicious and very spicy. We tried them on two different visits they were so good! The japchea is a glass noodle dish and I was very surprised at how much I liked this dish!!!! Lots of veggies and packs a punch. The wings we had them in soy and hot. I will say this only get the hot if you are INTO spiciness. My family is and I enjoyed them but our table used the words pain and my lips are on fire a few times. Other notable items which surprised me and we tried where the fried rice, which had your usual egg, meat and onions. Finally the edamame Is a great appetizer to share with your table. You can also order Thai Boba tea from the shop and have it served at your table or get it to go. Try the honey dew milk tea! It's my favorite!!! Thanks for the hospitality Bonchon we will be back!!!! read more

I know nothing about Korean cuisine. Some dishes are exceptional in taste and others I have no reference for comment. I read all the reviews that my Korean Yelpie pal Rose E writes, and I'm still left wondering. Alas, a spicy chicken taco rescued me. We traveled to the Pineville-Matthews area to visit the Bonchon based on Rose's review (I have one nearer my home, but why chance it?). We ordered both the trio of Spicy Chicken Tacos and a plate of Beef Bulgogi. Easy. While both dishes were prepared well, the chicken spicy taco cracked it out of the park. Hot and spicy chicken perched atop a crisp bed of cold lettuce, cabbage, red onion, and mayo wrapped snugly in a warm, soft shell. Mmmmm. My kinda taco. The bulgogi, while delicious and hot, was too sweet for my liking (although I've learned that sugar is a key ingredient in the marinade). Not for me. Overall, the food was good (the tacos excellent) and the menu worthy of exploration. Our server, while attentive, was unable apparently of multi-tasking, handling only one table at a time. It was difficult to gain her attention unless it was your turn. Awkward. In the mood for Korean food? Follow Rose E's lead and "give 'em a whirl." Maybe you'll find yourself saying, "I'm ready to learn some more." read more

I recently tried Bronchon Korean Chicken for lunch and ordered the (8) chicken tenders (spicy flavor) and a side of seasoned fries. The seasoned fries were definitely the highlight they had great flavor and were perfectly crispy. Unfortunately, I wasn't a fan of the spicy flavor on the chicken tenders. Also, I found the meal a bit pricey at $18.95 for just tenders and fries. While the fries might bring me back, the overall value and flavor didn't fully meet my expectations. read more

Please note: I've only had food from this location via DoorDash; never seen the inside. Reading actual reading is 4.5. I love all of the food, but I've not been a big fan of side orders of sauce, as I found them to be overwhelmingly salty . Japchae is the stand out dish here, and I order it every time. Other favorites are the Korean donuts and edamame. Fried rice has a nice flavor, although it can be a little dry at times. I was pleasantly surprised by how delightful the food here is, and will keep ordering read more

I wish I could give a 3.5 rating, but that's mainly because I probably didn't order the right dish for me. Been wanting to try this for a while and my husband never had Korean fried chicken so this was going to be my cheat night. For a Friday night, the dining room was fairly empty, but a lot of people picking up orders. We had our toddler with us and were seated right away, which was a relief. Staff was friendly and answered questions we had. They even brought extra soft drinks for us since my daughter kept taking mine to play with. We ended up ordering the boneless wings half hot and half soy. Would have opted for regular wings, but thought boneless would be better for the kiddo. We also got some seasoned fries to share. The boneless wings did have crunch but were a little chewy in my opinion. I loved the flavor on the soy. I usually like hot wings, but the hot wings were too spicy for me. My mouth was on fire. So only order if you really enjoy spicy sauces. The seasoned fries were the highlight for me. A crisp fry and the Parmesan seasoning is addicting. It also cooled off that hot sauce. There was so much more on the menu I wanted to try, but since we all were sharing, I wanted to order things my toddler would eat. She ended up eating a couple fries and white rice. It was a quiet meal and friendly service. I can't wait to try more! read more

Ordering was quick and easy. Service was fast. Food was ready in less than ten minutes. The establishment is located in the same building as MiGuo. It's a pretty lively area with many restaurants and stores. I wasn't a fan of the chicken. I thought it was too saucy and lacked flavor. Radishes should be complimentary and not charged as a side dish. read more

Finally made it to Bonchon instead of just talking about going forever. I was seriously craving some takoyaki and they had it here so I convinced a bunch of friends to join me. I was not disappointed. The takoyaki wasn't bad - it certainly hit the spot as hoped. It was not, however, the best I've ever had. But no place here can really compare to the real deal. That alone wasn't going to hold me over so I split an order of gyoza with the table. They were fried crispy. They have a veggie and a meat option. I was on the fence between bibimbap and the salmon ball. A friend pushed me in the right direction and the salmon ball was practically to die for! Will go down as one of the best dishes you (read: I) can find at any restaurant in Charlotte. They have Japanese beers and sake to wet your palate. A friend got the tteokbokki - it was incredibly spicy, just as I remembered it. We were a group of five and got together here on a Saturday night. I was able to make a reservation same-day but it ended up not being especially crowded at this location. Even a friend mentioned the Woodlawn one is noticeably better. Prices and menu were somewhat like for an Izakaya and the bill will rack up quickly if you're not careful. Service was good and friendly while we made ordering a touch confusing. Would definitely recommend them and go back. read more

I ordered the garlic soy wings for lunch and it was a delicious treat. I ordered takeout through the yelp site via grubub, which was surprisingly easy. The site let's you track your order and provide an ETA of your order completion. Why haven't I used this before smh. My order was ready in 20mins. There is plenty of parking with two lots available. One is near Walmart and the other is on the back side of the restuarant. I suggest parking on the back lot to avoid the Walmart crowd. The wings were overall good, not great. The drums had too much breading on the chicken. The flat pieces of chicken were much better. I would be back to try something else off the menu. read more

I ordered the small drumsticks and had a side of kimchi on the side. I got the soy garlic flavor and it was delicious. I was kind of sketchy about it because I thought it was going to be super salty but it wasn't! It was A perfect balance of sweet and salty. The kimchi was good a nice crunch and spice level! Everything about the meal was good. I wish they had the vegetable potstickers at the time I called in, but they didn't. Which was okay every thing else made up for it! read more

Stopped in for lunch on a Saturday afternoon. It was our first time trying Bonchon, but it won't be our last! Service was friendly and the restaurant had a fun vibe. Food was really good!! I ordered 1/2 and 1/2 wings, my husband ordered Bulgogi, and we had Pork Belly Buns as an appetizer. The Pork Belly buns were absolutely delicious. The pork was tender, the vegetables had crunch and great flavor, and the sauce was outstanding! The wings were plump & juicy with a crispy crust. The garlic soy sauce was flavorful and not too salty (as some soy-based sauces can be). The spicy sauce was a bit much for me, but my son was thrilled with my leftovers. (BTW, they reheat beautifully in the air fryer!) My husband loved the Bulgogi and ate every morsel on the plate. Again, great flavor and not too salty. read more

You've never had fried chicken until you've had Korean fried chicken. This double crunch chicken is like nothing I've had before. I ordered the garlic chicken wings & wasn't disappointed. I also had a side of seasoned fries. The fries were seasoned with Parmesan & garlic. They were pretty basic, but the frying process was similar to the chicken, so the extra crunch made it worthwhile. The hubby had the Bulgogi bibimbap. It's served in a hot stone dish. The Bulgogi was spiced perfectly. Overall, I can't complain, but my favorite is always the chicken. The lunch special price was $9 for 8 pieces of chicken & a side. I did upgrade my side for an additional $3, but it was worth it. read more
