JAPCHAE, Y'ALL!!!! People probably come here for the chicken, but I for one, recently discovered that japchae IS NOT created equal! Bonchon has the absolute BEST, no lie!! I went in on a whim to pick up some of their Soy Garlic Wings to go. After looking over their menu, I also decided to get an order of Japchae. I was a bit skeptical because of the $13.95 price tag, so I was hoping it would have more than just the standard noods in it or the portion would be bigger than just a side. The chicken also comes with a choice of coleslaw or radish and I went with the radish. To my surprise, opening what seemed like a small portion was actually enough for 2 to 3 people. The dish was nicely packed and the first thing you see when you open the container is a ton of marinated beef strips. I had to dig underneath to see if they forgot to put the noods in, but they were definitely packed in there! They filled up the container and it was barely able to close. Yay for them being generous and not stingy! It was still nice and hot after the 20ish min drive home, and the taste was phenomenal!! That beef was so savory and tender, it married so well with the perfectly seasoned noods. The chicken was also really good, and I was happy to see they were all thoroughly cooked, no pink middles here! =) They did have a spicy version of the chicken, but the Soy Garlic was calling my name. It was the perfect amount of seasoning with a slight twist of sweetness. The chicken got a nice pop of flavor with a bite of the cubed radish. OMG that radish!! It's gonna be my go-to whenever I order this chicken for sure! I highly recommend you try some Bonchon for your tastebuds. This one is located in a busy shopping plaza area in Elk Grove. Parking lot is a bit tight, but manageable. The employees were really nice and efficient. Next time I visit, I'll try dining in for the full experience...or maybe I'll just go to one of their locations down south because I need more Bonchon in my life!! =P read more

Came here for a quick dinner around 8:15pm (they close at 9pm) they were nice enough to let us dine in still! We were sat down and got menus. Our server was super nice, he made sure our order was correct and brought our everything quickly. We ordered the large combo wings with garlic soy and the yumyeon flavor for the wings. They were absolutely delicious and crunchy. It came with two sides, the pickled radish which I love and cold slaw. I felt like the cold slaw was a-bit flavorless but it still refreshes your palate from the chicken flavor. We also got the Bibimbap with Bulgogi, it was good but I felt like the sauce lacked a-bit of flavor. It tastes like some soy sauce mixed with gochujang sauce. I thought it was interesting how quinoa was apart of the veggies, but I guess everybody does it differently. The Bulgogi was delicious though. The house fried rice with Bulgogi was chefs kiss! So delicious, packed with flavor! 10/10 recommend! Can get a little heavy if you eat to much but it was delicious. Wish there was more cucumber but would order again. Loved the dining area super trendy and a great place to bring groups of friends. Can't wait to be back! read more

Great wings.. gotta get the double glazed wings.. you do have to pay for ranch with kinda sucks .. but still love it

I'm a fan of Bonchon I really like that there are 3 locations in the sac area. I've been to them all. The place is a nice size inside with a small bar area. Normally the prices are kinda up there. I like coming during lunch hour for their lunch special. I usually get get spicy drums and wings but today I opted for boneless spicy with seasoned fries. Seasoned is $1 more for parmesan cheese and garlic. The waiter was nice and took our order quick. The food came out quick too. Usually the wings are much more saucy but was kinda disappointed today. The boneless looks more like small strips. They really weren't what I was thinking of. Anyways, I would just sick to the normal drums and wings. The fries had a decent amount of seasoning. They were super cruntchy as always but not that warm. I wish the waiter could've checked on me more or if they had a self serve water/soda machine. read more

We got takeout at work with Doordash here. It arrived super quickly and they gave us a ton of food! I tried the soy garlic chicken, Yang-nyeom chicken, and spicy chicken wings which are huge! It tastes good for Korean fast food, pretty standard. Not healthy of course but good. Fried rice was normal I suppose. And we got seasoned garlic fries which were good. Taste like garlic fries what else can I say. All fried food basically except the coleslaw which no thank you. Good quick service and a good option for Korean fast food in the area. read more

Love their chicken wings in the soy garlic and spicy versions. Fried rice and potstickers are also delicious every time!

There was a hair in my small soy garlic wings it was a short-ish black hair that had orange blonde dyed half way.

Good food!! But I most likely got food poisoning from here. After eating here with my friends, our stomachs started hurting and i was in unbearable stomach pain and continuously vomiting the following days after. Just to found out my appendix corrupted. I got my appendix removed on New Year's Day and I'm currently still recovering. Food and service was still good though... but I am traumatized read more

On a short visit to South Sacramento visiting relatives and they suggested we go here. What a pick! It is in a strip mall in the Laguna area and on the night we went, it wasn't busy at all. The wait staff was really welcoming and patient as we took a while to decide. The menu looks very good and it was hard to decide but I chose the small order of wings with the spicy sauce and the pickled radishes. My wife ordered the house fried rice and my cousin ordered the bulgogi fries. Our orders came out in about 10 minutes and each was super delicious in their own way. My wings were really crunchy on the outside, tender, juicy and lots of flavor. The bugogi fries are the bomb and the fried rice was really good. I later learned that there are severall other locations and makes it easy to eat here again should we ever get the urge again. read more

Food was great, there was no waiting and the service was excellent. We had the special combo which was a lot of food for the price. Can't wait to go back again. read more

We love Bon Chon in Elk Grove and on Arden Way Sacramento! My husband likes that their chicken legs are of full size and not drummet's! They are very attentive for service everyone is very pleasant! Come to Bon Chon and enjoy their food, their service and their ambiance! You will definitely be satisfied! Thank you all for your welcoming services! We'll be back soon! read more

Food is tasty and prices are reasonable. Gotta try the chicken it is really good with rice, salad and veggies! I will go back again!

Was craving Bonchon, but it's probably going to be a while til we come back here again. Ordered mixed pcs all Soy Garlic flavored and it was not great. Didn't know ya'll came out with a new flavor now: Double Soy Garlic. I'm not sure what changed, but it's been inconsistent with the flavors lately and it was so salty. The chicken was so dark we can't tell if it's from the soy sauce or old oil because it wasn't tasting fresh also. I'm glad we bought extra radish so that kinda took away the saltiness plus the extra rice you have to eat with it just to mask the saltiness. We've been going to bonchon for years and sad how it kind of went downhill through the years. I hate to say that this restaurant is now a Hit or Miss for us. Some days are great, and some days are off. At the rate of this economy with prices going up, we felt like what we ordered was not worth what we paid for. Whoever's cooking up the chicken, please put a little love in it because at the end of the day some people are going to your business to enjoy the food as a little pick me up on a bad day. Don't be that person that makes it worse. read more

Ranch was 65cents Fries evenly seasoned Got half and half (soy garlic and spicy). Spicy was too spicy for me but overall great flavor and nice crispiness Service was great read more

Ordered bulgogi bibimbap, 12 pieces chicken strips, and kimchi fried rice, with the daikon radish as a side. All things were super mid. I have been to the Daly City and Sac - Arden locations over the past five years and I remember the chicken, rice, and daikon dishes being tastier. In particular it seems like the radish here was not as sweet or flavorful and that the sauce for the chicken seemed dilute. Additionally the rice for the bibimbap tasted like it had been left in the rice cooker for several hours. I hope that my perception of quality decline is a function of this particular location and not a type of flavor "shrinkflation" endemic throughout multiple locations. read more

Came here for dinner with friends. Menu is pretty simple. Lots of items have been taken off the menu. We ordered family style to shared. Got the medium combo half half, the bulgogi, Bull Dak and a side of kimchi. This was the first I've had mushrooms cooked with bulgogi but it was alright. The Bull Dak tastes best when it comes out hot and the cheese is melted. The spicy level was okay not as spicy as I thought it would be. The spicy sauce for the chicken wings and drums was spicier. Wings and drums were not dried so that's a plus. We enjoyed both the flavors. Kimchi was okay. Overall, we enjoyed our meal. read more

The soy garlic is super flavorful, the drums and wings are super crunchy and cooked properly. We ate inside for the first time. It was clean and spacious with lots of seating. The staff is super nice. They have TVs. They wait on you. They bring your drinks and food to you. We ate the wings and drums super fast, so I didn't get a chance to take a picture, but The loaded fries were delicious. Thank you read more

Bonchon - Loaded Fries - Korean Near Me - Elk Grove, California

Very good service with asking us if we wanted to sit at a larger table, adjusting the blinds for glare, and offering cheaper specials. It is half a bar, so there were some drunk, noisy customers, but it was still quiet and calm. The chicken looks great with a lot of options, soy garlic is great! read more

Understaffed or quality check no longer exists. Call in and the person hangs up due to not wanting to work or not knowing how to tell someone to please hold. Overcooked food, salty and or over spiced now with way too much soy sauce or one ingredient of peppers. It is amazing what the new wage for fast workers can cause to your favorite restaurants. Pity, been here since the opening days. Where I have given a chance for quality checks and was worth it for the result in coming back. Now coming back is like getting a suckers bet. May as well get that fast food now instead of paying twice as much here. read more

Every time that I come to BonChon, it's never a disappointment. It's honestly that good and in my opinion, a gem of Elk Grove. I recently came on a Friday evening and got sat down immediately. First off, I want to say our waiter was so friendly and attentive throughout our stay. My usual order is the 20 wings half soy and half spicy. The wings are so crispy and juicy. It's my go-to stop when I'm craving chicken. I also order the house fried rice w/ bulgogi. Let me say, this is the best fried rice I've ever eaten in my life. It's so flavorful and makes me come back for more. I'll literally come here just for the fried rice. I'll also get a order of Kimchi which taste so fresh and goes so well with the chicken. For the drinks, I'll get water and order some soju. You can mix flavors together for the soju! The restaurant itself is super clean, there are plenty of tv all around if you want to watch the game and the atmosphere is great. Definitely a place for big parties to enjoy themselves. There shouldn't be an issue with parking, there is a huge lot on the side. Thank you again BonChon! You'll see me again soon read more

3 stars because the food was good, The chicken was krunchy and came out fast shout out to The cooks! Took one star away because I ordered 20 wings and I got charged for ranch, I have never been to a place that sells Wings and doesn't come with ranch I'm surprised I didn't get charged for the side of ketchup. Another star was taken because we came in at 8:30 and my hubby was watching the game and the server turned off the tv at 8:50pm and felt rushed to leave. Didn't bring me no bag or Container for my Cole slaw just a box but I saw another Server bring another customer a box, containers and a bag for Their stuff. read more

Not coming back. This was my 2nd time here & just didn't think food was that great. The chicken is too battered for me. read more

My favorite place for quick Korean fried chicken! The crispiness of the chicken maintains even hours after picking up our order. Very delicious paired with rice since the chicken carries lots of flavor on its own. I ordered online and came to pick up my order after about 25 minutes. My order was already ready along with their handful of pick-up orders on the counter. I applaud the efficiency and swiftness from the employees since I was in and out within a minute. I do wish they served their sides in bigger containers since the radish/coleslaw can really only last for one person. Since this was a family meal, I was expecting a larger/multiple container(s) rather than one, which was the only thing I was disappointed about. Will come back again! read more

Bonchon - Family Meal -- fried rice, half and half garlic soy & spicy, pickled radish, Coleslaw - Korean Near Me - Elk Grove, California

We came here for lunch on a Sunday - it was busy but we were still able to get seated right away. Service was quick and super friendly, we also got our food right away. We tried the shrimp shu mai - the honey mustard was an interesting choice and would've maybe liked a chili sauce instead but overall still good. My husband tried the bibimbap with spicy chicken, I tried a bite and it's definitely spicey! I had the japchae and it was good, a nice variety of ingredients in it and would order again. We weren't able to try the fried chicken which is what I think they're known for so we'll have to come back! read more

Always delicious! The best wings in town! Wish the kimchi was a bit more spicy or flavorful but the soy garlic wings have me in a choke hold! So crunchy and flavorful! We always get the fries and japchae noodles too! Staff are friendly! We come back and recommend 10/10 read more

Bonchon used to be really good now it's a hit or miss. We ordered take out and we usually get spicy and soy garlic. It was crispy on the outside but meat is dry inside. Also ordered chicken katsu and it was over cooked and dry. Giving them a borderline 3 out of 5 stars because everything was just dry and again the consistency isn't there. read more

Wow! This was a complete surprise! We usually go to the Bonchon in Pleasanton, Ca because we are from the Bay Area. We decided to give this one a try on our way home from Davis. We figured it'll be a meh experience given what we usually experience in Pleasanton. We just wanted Korean fried chicken... but wow!! What a pleasant surprise! This particular store was dang delicious!!!! Everything we ordered was super delicious! Great job!!!! read more

The food was great. Staff always on point. Food hot & ready. The sports are on daily !

This Elk Grove location will not exceed your expectations. I've been disappointed way too many times and this is the last time I buy from here, that's unfortunate because I live 2 minutes away. If you're gonna try Bon Chon go to the Bay Area location or San Jose. The quality at the Elk Grove location has gone down hill since the opened. Which is very unfortunate because we should be proud to have a location in our city. But the Elk Grove location it will not meet your expectations which explains why the lobby was completely empty and my Togo food today was Cold and they had the nerve to serve me two wings that were the size of LEGO piece "see pic" So disappointed!!! Also the quality of my wings was mediocre the soy garlic sauce wings were so dry and so dark. They stand behind their signature double fried wing technique. My wings felt like they were fried three times to be honest they were all hard and dry. I also picked up my order within 10 minutes from ordering and the order was completely cold. I've been eating Bon Chon for over 10 years ever since I lived I New York and New Jersey. Before the Elk Grove opened I would drive all the way to San Jose to eat Bon Chon and it was amazing!!!! So I thought the same when the Elk Grove location opened up but that was never case. I will never be coming back and giving this location my money. Next time I crave Bon Chon I will be driving down to San Jose. I wish you guys the best! But the quality in Elk Grove has never been up to par and I hope you guys will make the changes needed to improve the quality and satisfaction to your loyal guest. read more

Bonchon is always a solid spot for Korean fried chicken. The soy garlic is my go to! Their lunch special is such a good deal and comes with your choice of side - including fries. If you can, highly recommend dining in. Nothing beats freshly fried chicken. The great thing is the chicken still stays crispy even when you do takeout. read more

We ordered bibimbap and boneless chicken (soy garlic and yangnum). Food came out quickly and service was great. We usually get drum and wings but we didn't have too much time to eat so we ordered boneless. It was actually crunchy yum. read more

I've only had their fried chicken & its hands down what keeps me coming back, It's SO good. Always crispy and has just enough sauce. I usually order online/to go & the counter service has always been great. My least favorite part is the parking lot / overall busyness of the plaza, but that's not in their control. read more

I ordered the lunch special which was: your choice of chicken and a side. Perfect for one person. My waiter was the sweetest person. She had great customer service and checked up on me regularly. I went on a weekday around lunch time so the restaurant was quiet. Just a couple people at the tables. Overall I would definitely come back read more

But the batter was light and the chicken was so flavorful! We got the lunch special which came with fries which were so light and good! We also ordered the japchae which was flavorful and really fulfilled my cravings! They're only take out right now and will give you a call when your order is ready.
