    I am surprised about the reviews here. I came here for the first time and it was clean and nice inside. The service was very good and they give a 5% discount when using cash. This is across one the first Bonchons that opened up in the US. I ordered the spicy Korean chicken sandwich and fries which was made fresh so there is a little wait and I ordered the Korean donuts. Everything was really good! The chicken was fried nicely and had good flavor plus a good amount of cold slaw and was not soggy. They use good quality white chicken and i like the bread they use... like a brioche bun. I ended up realizing this was the place i ordered online from once before too (wings) and i also really enjoyed them! Cripsy and flavorful.

    This is place delicious! The chicken is fried to perfection. We got the lunch deal with 8pc soy garlic with rice and the 8pc Korean bbq with fries. The Korean flavor was okay. Probably wouldn't order that flavor again, but everything else was yummy.

    After a particularly bad experience at a different Bonchon location at Harvard Square in Boston, visiting another Bonchon again wasn't very high on my bucket list. I've always known this location in Fort Lee was near me, but didn't bother to try it until I got a promo code from Seamless to use today. I ordered a small (12 piece) signature fried boneless wings, as I usually prefer boneless over bone-in wings. I really only eat bone-in wings if they are my only option. Imagine my disappointment after getting home and realizing that they gave me bone-in wings instead of what I had ordered. Since it would take me at least 25 minutes round-trip to walk there and back again, I decided not to go back to fix my order. I was originally going to write a review on the boneless wings, but this review will have to be about their bone-in wings instead. After the initial disappointment, I was disappointed again at the fact that there is very little meat on each wing. When you bite in, it is mostly just the fried batter. I did like that the wings were extremely crispy though, which is something that beats most takeout places. They have holes in the box so that the steam can escape, which keeps the chicken from getting soggy. However, after finishing this meal, I just felt like it was very greasy since all I was eating was basically the crisp. I also noticed when picking up my order that they have another sauce option called Sweet Crunch that was not on the menu on Seamless' website. I feel like every business owner should have the responsibility of ensuring their menus are always up-to-date so that the customer can order anything that is offered by the restaurant. I definitely would have picked that sauce over the one I got if I had known it was an option. Lastly, I personally think that the chicken is a little overpriced for what you get. With such little meat, the small size should not be worth $12. I probably would not pay for that again if I don't have a promo code to use. I feel like there are many other better Korean fried chicken places on the opposite side of Fort Lee that are not only more fairly priced, but have more meat on each wing. I'll give this location 3 stars as I feel it was just average but not terrible.

    It's BonChon Chicken for chicken's sake! From what i know the birth-baby of KFC (Korean Fried Chicken). I've had a few pieces before but this day were took home boxes and I was ready to DIG IN! When I finally sank my teeth into these, it wasn't what I remembered. Something felt like it was missing... I remember recently I've been getting my KFC from another place around this area and it's hard to live up to that now. Maybe I will give BonChon another shot some other time..

Always a must-get here. 2) ddukbaegi bulgogi (4.5/5) - Thinly sliced prime marinated beef ribeye casserole with rice cake and glass noodle and mushroom served in a sizzling hot pot. Really flavorful and so good to have on a cold day. 3) ahjae ppyo jjim (4.5/5) - Braised prime beef meat bones in soy reduction with carrots, radish, dates, chestnut, rice cake and glass noodles. We got non-spicy. It came in a HUGE bowl. Definitely meant to be shared with a group. Took leftovers home and it was still yummy the next day mixed with knife-cut noodles I had at home.

I found out much later that the owner was the one actually serving and cooking for us. We were able to walk in with a party of ten on labor day. Super accommodating staff, owner knows what he's doing. Never caught his name unfortunately We ordered 4 different combos and dude was able to cook for all of us at the same time. Everyone left stuffed and I even had leftovers for the next day. I didn't get to eat everything but here's what I tried. The duck combo, pork combo, nayengmen (cold noodle I butchered the spelling I know sorry) and corn cheese. They don't do the brisket sauce like they do in la. Instead I think it was a mixture of miso and vinegar? With onions soaking in it. Paired perfectly with the pork. I've never had anything like it before. The thin cut pork belly was probably my favorite out of all the pork. The marinated duck combo was pretty interesting. It kinda felt like a ttkekbokki dish? But a little light on the rice cakes. The duck itself tasted like some really good charcuterie. It was a little too spicy for me but super good. We ended up opting to throw everything into the fried rice at the end and it made for some perfect late night leftovers that I'm enjoying as I write this review. Lovely place, hope they do well. V fast paced environment and loud, they get your food out, and you can tell that a lot of hard work and love goes into the food. Thank y'all

You order at the front and pick up your food when it's ready. It's actually a really convenient system, and since there is no table service, there's no expectation to leave a gratuity. The food itself is consistently good. The parking lot is very, very small and shared with the cafe next door, so parking can be a squeeze. Because it's so popular, it gets very busy during prime dining hours. Even when I've ordered takeout, there can sometimes be a decent wait to get your food so I recommend order online or over the phone ahead. They do charge a little extra if you pay with a credit card to cover the fees. If you visit during the summer months, you absolutely have to try the Naeng Myeon (cold noodle soup) or the Bibim Naeng Myeon (spicy cold noodles). They really hit the spot and are incredibly refreshing. Highly recommend!

They rotate the banchans and we get something a little different each time we go and they're all very good. One thing that really stands out is their steamed eggs.

The only downside side is I remembered they used to take reservations if you have a party if 7 or more but this is no longer the case.
