My hand is there for reference
Anne Marie O.

Large portions! The drumsticks were like mini turkey drumsticks. I ate two and was stuffed. Very tasty and cooked well. Authentic kimchi and definitely fusion food. Staff was friendly, service was fast and place was clean.

This wasn't my typical after the game spot. But No reservations were needed and we were hungry. We ordered soy garlic thirty piece wings, ten piece spicy wings, seafood fried rice, fried zucchini, popcorn shrimp, lemon drops and French 75. My expectations weren't high but I was blown away with flavors of the food. Saucy wings but still have that crunch!!! I love a good chicken wing. Wait staff was very attentive and we just had a good overall time. (Side note) them spicy wings are hot as hell!!!!!!! lol but good if you can stand the heat.

Great spot if you're in the mood for a well balanced chicken "Wing!" I love that you can choose flats, drums or a mix. I'm a drumstick girl and these do not disappoint! A small is 5 wings and that was really enough for 2 meals. I went with the newer spicy sauce which was spicy enough without being overwhelming. I snagged some fries on HH to complete the meal. I paired my fries with spicy mayo which was not wrong! HH - m-f 4-6 with limited options (see pic) with weekday drink specials in addition to the standard hh option. I ubered to that area so not quite sure about the parking sitch. Plenty of inside seating with quite a few tvs at the bar to catch a game (or two)! Service was quite mid -- had a hard time getting them to come back by but I came for the chicken! Overall bonchon has been around the Houston area for a bit with multiple locations. Pick the nearest one and try it out!

Bulgogi fries & mimosas

My new husband and I just got married yesterday and went into Bonchon to watch the Texans game and have a few drinks. Our server Alexa and manager Nick were beyond amazing! Awesome energy in the restaurant and the bulgogi fries were 10/10. We honestly are thinking about coming back again for dinner. Highly recommend!!!

Japchae & Korean Tacos
Carol C.

For starters, the interior was not what I expected for a Korean fried chicken restaurant. Looked just like an American sports bar lol. Not a big deal, just funny. It's much bigger than expected and there's plenty of seating. The service was good. Our waitress was really nice and attentive. She was also working at the cash register doing to go orders. I liked that she checked up on us regularly despite how busy she was. As for the food, it was ok. Not bad but nothing great. The wings had a nice amount of sauce on it. I liked that it wasn't too heavy. The Korean tacos were big and filling. It tasted good with the picked daikon radish. The japchae wasn't bad but barely had any meat.

If you've been to a Bonchon before you kinda know what to expect. This specific location being in midtown was a bit surprising to me, but I'm glad we have another KFC option nearby. I've ordered pick up here before but first time dining in. First things first parking could be a pain here. There's plenty of paid street parking but could be challenging depending on the time of day you come. There is also a garage for this building but not sure if it's paid or not. We walked in coming from a rockets game. We noticed half of the store had seats on the table indicating they're not available. There were a few tables with people in it and three or four dirty tables - felt kinda awkward walking in at first and to be honest we almost walked out. When we sat down our server greeted us a few minutes later - she was polite and friendly which was a reassuring sign. We ordered the 6 pc wing + 3 drum combo half and half. This is basically what we always get with a side of fries and the free radish. The quality and flavor of the chicken was on par with other bonchons. The place also started getting packed as we were there and it was 11 pm - probably normal for being in midtown. Overall, the location is decent. There's definitely some concern for homeless people walking around and in the restaurant (one walked in and quickly walked out while we were eating), but that comes with the area. They could also probably add a few more people to help clean tables, but otherwise not a bad visit.

A friend of mine ordered Bonchon for us last night for dinner. I believe we got a combo of wings and drumsticks with a side of the fried rice. The two flavors that we got were spicy and I believe a garlic which were both pretty good but I don't feel like the spicy was spicy at all. I enjoyed the fried rice as well. I honestly think this may have been my first time trying Korean fried chicken and it wasn't a bad experience.

Combo 15 Wings 8 Drumsticks
Danni Y.

Classic fried chicken with Korean sauces My friends and I shared a large combo of bone in wings and legs with the garlic sauce and Korean BBQ sauce mix, definitely enough for 4 people! Comes with a side of slaw and a tub of ranch Prices weren't too bad for what you get but to be honest it's just fried chicken, I had to stop eating after 3 pieces because it became too greasy but I think if you like eating fried chicken you'd get your moneys worth. Their spicy wings are *definitely* spicy, it builds. I had one from another friends plate and could only handle one, if you love spicy this could be for you. Inside style was your average bar design, service was okay they only had one person working and we had a lot of people so it was understandably slower. I'd come back to try their happy hour but probably wouldn't crave this again anytime soon.

The location

This was poor customer service from the manager to the waitress. The waitress took care of folk that came in after me because I was on my phone. No excuse. I came there solo knowing exactly what I wanted. No offering of my drinks or anything. The customer service was horrible and Greg the manager upheld the behavior. They also have had animals in there and they were not Service Dogs. I was so displeased with this atmosphere. I'll most likely will never go there again.

Anyways not only was the lady, I think her name was Mama D rude she put the order in wrong. I was there at 3:50 ish so I was just in time for happy hour at 4, so I waited to order my drink. She didn't want me to order it to go for whatever problematic reason so I told her I didn't want it bc I knew I couldn't finish the margarita that quick. She told me my food was gone take wayyy longer so I said ok I'll have a drink while I wait. The food came out and I was like I knew that was gone happen. Didn't even take one sip. She had an attitude bc not she had to give me the to go cup. Mind u the cups aren't the same she filled it up half way and said it's on special like I shouldn't be questioning why it was half full. Still left her a tip bc I support Black Businesses. Order was still wrong. . Just rude for no reason. The shrimp were good. I ordered hot lemon pepper it was mediocre. She was also rude to the ppl that walked in telling them where to sit. Business minded ppl would've had it blocked off or something. Would not go back bc HOUSTON has good food all around and customer service is mandatory! Be humble!

I didn't catch the name of the gentleman at the front but he was super easy going, professional and patient with us while we decided why to get since it was our first time.

I recently came back and realized this place is now called Space City Bites instead of Wings 87…read more Apparently, there's new management, which explains the changes. I noticed they now advertise 50 flavors, and the specials have changed as well. Unfortunately, just my luck, my usual flavor, Spicy Lemon Pepper BBQ, is no longer on the menu. I decided to try Spicy Lemon Pepper Honey instead, and it was actually really good. I'd definitely order that flavor again. My friend ordered the same flavor, but her order only came out as regular Spicy Lemon Pepper, so she was understandably disappointed with that mix-up. I also ordered two separate 6-count wing orders ($10.99 each) and was only given one ranch sauce. Mind you, these weren't part of a wing special. If I had ordered a 12-count with two flavors, I would've understood, but ordering two separate 6-counts made me assume we'd each get our own sauce. Maybe I should've been more specific, but honestly, I didn't think that would be necessary. The other odd part of the experience was requesting the wings to be fried hard. The cook came out from the back three separate times to confirm that's what I wanted and kept emphasizing that it would take 20 minutes. I was a little confused because, yes, that's exactly how I ordered them, and I was perfectly fine waiting since I'm paying for the food. I even asked how long they normally cook them because all the repeated confirmations started making me concerned. The reason I requested them fried hard in the first place was because during a previous visit, the wings were soft and borderline undercooked. Overall, the wings were good this time around, but the multiple service hiccups made the experience a little frustrating. I'd probably come back, but maybe on a Wednesday for the .99 special because there are other places in Houston with better wing deals at this price point. The food has potential, especially with all the flavor options, but consistency and attention to detail could definitely be improved.

Nice cozy place, perfect setting for fried chicken. I am sure they had other stuff, but that was the mission for this visit. Started with fried pickle spears, probably the best I have ever had, no joke. Perfect coating, taste and preparation. I like the spears vs the chips. Had the special which was to legs and two thighs for the price of the 3 pc dark. Beans and slaw. Ok, the chicken was great, moist, seasoned, very well cooked. I will go out of my way to go here for the chicken. Beans, canned with a little flavor added, nothing to brag about the slaw was pretty good. The fries on my friend's plate looked great. Perfect. We got here at about 1145, the place was busy. By 1215, it was packed, but they move people through and do a booming take out. Try it, you will like it. It satisfied my fried chicken desire and.

I enjoyed their fried chicken, which for around $12, came with a thigh and leg, along with ample amounts of coleslaw and fried okra. Even I, as a voracious eater, could not finish all the sides. The chicken itself was beautifully fried in peanut oil, and truly one of the best, juiciest, fried chicken pieces I have ever had. This place is an example of simplicity at its finest. If you are in Houston and craving some down to earth fried chicken, Gus's is the place to go!

First, I noticed that the staff handling food behind the counter were not wearing gloves. Hygiene is important, especially when preparing and serving food, and it was concerning that no one appeared to be following proper food safety practices. At that time, the rotisserie was already being cleaned, which told me they had stopped preparing fresh chicken for the day. Instead, they were serving pre-cooked chicken kept in a warmer. As expected, this made the chicken dry and hard on the outside. I ordered the 1/2 dark meat chicken with yellow rice and Tequeños. However, I was given two small leg quarters and an extra piece of white meat--which I didn't ask for--all of which were extremely dry. The portion size has noticeably decreased as well. I was also very concerned to see them using spray cleaner near the food, which poses a risk of chemical contamination. On top of that, the Tequeños were extremely dark and tasted like they had been refried, nearly burnt. Adding to the poor experience, one of the girls behind the counter was playing around and massaging her coworkers while customers were being served. That level of unprofessional behavior is not something anyone wants to see while waiting for their food. I've always liked this place for its fresh rotisserie chicken, but it feels like DoDo's has started cutting corners on both food quality and cleanliness. Paying $19.52 for this meal just didn't feel worth it.

Save your time and money--go somewhere that actually values its customers.
