I stopped by Bonchon Town Center on a recent Saturday afternoon with my wife for Korean fried chicken, and we were quite pleased with the results. We ordered 20 half & half wings (10 spicy, 10 soy garlic) and a side of fries to split for lunch after having a late breakfast. The service was fast and pleasant, and the chicken and fries came out quickly. The fries were fresh, crispy, and delicious, just as the wings were. The soy garlic was a pleasant mix of sweet and salty, and the spicy wings came as advertised- spicy. My wife and I are lightweights, so we ate about 12 wings between the two of us at lunch and saved the rest for later. As a South Korean native, my wife is picky about her Korean chicken wings, but Bonchon passed her test (mine too). We definitely plan on returning to Bonchon when we're in the Town Center area and in the mood for wings. read more

If you like spicy you need to try the Tteokbokki it is a hardy dish with rice cakes and fish cakes simmered with scallions and onion in Bonchon Hot Sauce then topped with mozzarella cheese. The rice cakes are very filling and the sauce is has a good amount of heat but the cheese helps balance it. The dish was also served with two tempura fried seaweed stuffed rice noodles. It adds a new texture and flavor profile to the dish. I would even order by themselves with a spicy dipping sauce. The Takoyaki was a little too fishy (fried octopus dumplings). I have had before but this was a little too strong and the breading was a little soft in my opinion. My friend got the chicken tenders they were good but I would say they needed more sauce. I would have tried the wings and hope for a little more crunch. read more

I guess if you've eaten at one Bonchon, you've eaten at them all. I will say the house wings are delicious, but not enough for the price.

I will rarely give 5 stars but I will give credit where credit is due. Great menu, great prices, great service and tasty food! Absolutely no complaints. The chicken was the perfect amount of crispy and I loved that it wasn't oily or soggy from sauce. Everything was perfect, would highly recommend, cant wait to go back and try other items. read more

Bonchon is a very popular chain and it's great that Jax gets a solid location as well! If you've never had KFC- Korean fried chicken, then Bonchon should be added to your list! The chicken is crispy and flavors are incredible! The sides are also top tier here. The service was great and is definitely a Bonchon I'd visit again! read more

My family and I first time dining here I explained that to the young lady by the name of McKenna she was very soft spoken to the point that we could hardly even hear which she was saying, she wasn't friendly at all. I had to ask her to give us some suggestions. She had the attitude that she could care less if we eat here or not very bad experience I don't care how good the food is we will not be going back and I wouldn't recommend anyone else to with the customer service we got. I also asked to speak with the manager and unfortunately, she was the manager. I also asked was it a family owned business and she replied yes it is with an attitude. read more

If you love crispy, crunchy yet juicy chicken, this is the place for you. I finally got to check out this place after hearing some compliments from my friends who love this place! There compliments of the food here was very well deserving. I ended up ordering a plate of chicken strips with half soy garlic and half sweet crunch. I love both flavors as they complimented the crispy chicken well. I am a sauce girl and would of loved some extra to dip my strips into! I also got a side of pickled radish because I've never had it. It was another great choice. The radish is perfectly pickled yet has a nice crunch to it, kind of similar to an apple. I would definitely order the strips and radish again! The music is a bit loud inside which makes it hard to talk. But the food and service is excellent, I will definitely be back! read more

I came across this place on YouTube of all places. I was watching someone blog about their trip to Mexico and they were eating this chicken that looked delicious and sounded crispy with every bite, my mouth was literally watering lol. Once she said the restaurant I got to work and started researching where to find it and behold we had one in the town-center just 15 min from me. I immediately placed an order and I was not disappointed. The chicken is twice fried and hand glazed to make sure it stays crispy. The garlic soy is my absolute favorite while the spicy had my lips feeling like they were melting off my face but still delicious, now if you combine the flavors LAWD HAVE MERCY I do my good food dance and sing a song while eating this chicken. It's just that good but don't take my word for it go try it yourself. read more

Friday night at BonChon was a treat. Their pork buns make a wonderful starter, followed by a noodle bowl for my husband and bulgogi for me.

Looking forward to coming back! read more

Mmmmhmmm Bonchon with their Korean fried chicken wings. I've been here on multiple occasions and I must say, their food is always tempting and enjoyable to eat. The chicken wings are freshly made-to-order so you will need to give some time for prep and frying. The decor is well put together and clean. Loved the wall with Bonchon locations in different countries and cities. On one occasion, came in with a group of four people and we ordered the Large Combo Half & Half (15 wings+8 drumsticks), seasoned fries, a side of coleslaw and kimchi. I've had their pickled radish and for some odd reason, the flavor was not in my favor. Maybe because I'm used to the traditional or other pickled radishes from Korean restaurants, I don't know, who knows. But anyways, like always, the wings were appetizing and heavenly to eat. Very hot, crispy and flavoring. The seasoned fries, absolutely amazing: super crispy/crunchy, hot and delicious. In another occasion, I had the Salmon Avocado Ball. The presentation was exquisite and the different flavors of seafood coming together were superb. Everything was mixed in and shaped into a ball and yet, still crunchy and hot with every bite with a tease of sweet and savory. I would say, definitely try this item as it was one of the best thus far. Overall, definitely would recommend bringing friends and family here. Although, please keep in mind the prices as it could get expensive, but I believe the food and experience will outweigh your cost. read more

I like that their menu has photos. The fried chicken is extra crispy and battered. It wasn't so delicious that I want to go back for more... i got the garlic soy sauce, which was OK but not finger licking good. If you want delicious fried chicken I would recommend going to hawkers and getting their double fried wings: they will knock your socks off. I liked that they have pickled radish since I love pickled radish; however I've had better at another place as well. They said their bip bim bop is cold; which was interesting... Not sure if it's worth a return visit or not. Just an average eating experience read more

Bonchon Town Center Jacksonville - Fried chicken and pickled radish - Korean Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

I'll have to read the reviews that make this less than the 5 star experience I had but for me, this place was the shizzle! The service, the food, all of it was perfect. The current 3-ish star rating didn't align with what I had heard from friends as their experience was much more positive. I came in with high hopes but cautious expectations. Service was fast and friendly and the chicken was simply AWESOME. Hot, crunchy, tender, flavorful - you name it, this chicken hit all the right notes with my son and I. I'm hoping they put one up closer to home but for now, this location will definitely be in the regular rotation for work lunches. #eathappiness read more

I ordered the Japchae, this dish was greasy and truly the only flavor you could taste was the bell pepper. I also ordered the pot stickers half spicy half not spicy. The spicy was sooooooo hot!!!!

This was my first time eating at Bonchon Korean Fried Chicken. I went with the 10 piece wings, half soy garlic and half spicy. While I thought the soy garlic were okay, I will say that the spicy ones were amazing. The side of cole slaw was pretty good, and it reminded me of how LFC's slaw used to taste in the 80's. I will definitely come back here, or go to the local one in my hometown. read more

I just happen to drive by this place and look them up on yelp. With so many reviews I got a group of girls together to check it out. For a Wednesday night this place was packed. There's not a ton of seating but almost every table was taken upon arrival. Once sat our waitress was super attentive and suggested what to get. We decided to split an order of boneless wings mixed sweet and spicy. For me the spice was a little bit too much for me but the sweet was just rice. I also ordered the spicy chicken tacos. They come in an order of three and are huge! The tacos were full of flavor but again the chicken was just a tad spicy for me so I used ranch and cucumbers to cool it down. My friends ordered the fried chicken plate and dang it looked good. They let me try a bite and it was delicious- super crispy. That's what I'll be getting when I come back which will be soon! read more

You know it's good food when your mom flies 6 states away and demands we order Bonchon for dinner!

Bonchon's Korean Fried Chicken. So do I think it's better than Kyochon's version with their signature Soy Garlic Sauce? No. No, I don't. Does it satisfy my craving for Korea's version of (Kentucky) Fried Chicken double fried and coated with their signature secret sauces? Why yes. Yes it certainly does. I haven't actually had any Korean Fried Chicken that really sucked. And Bonchon's version was definitely finger lickin' good! I went with a small order of 12 mixed [half spicy/half soy garlic] for $12.95 and a side of pickled radish. The spicy wings do have a little kick to them so the radish and a bowl of white rice really helps to alleviate the pain. They comp'ed the bowl of rice for me. Hooray! Their soy garlic fried chicken was my favorite of the two flavors they offer. I was extra hungry so I ordered the Bulgogi Bibimbap served with white rice, assorted seasonal vegetables, red quinoa, served with Bonchon red pepper paste on the side. For $14.95, this was very filling and tasty. Overall, I enjoyed the food here and if you go, don't skip the Korean Fried Chicken for goodness' sake! That is the total reason to try this place. So if you're watching your calories, just start the diet some other time... read more

Bonchon Town Center Jacksonville - chicken - Korean Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

I had trouble finding this location. It's on the side of Hobby Lobby. The menu is a bit limited but still good option to choose from. I got the fried shu mai, bibimbap, and chicken wings. My favorite would be the chicken wings. The wings are so crispy and juicy. The bibimbap could have a little more rice. I had to ask for extra rice. The flavor and spice were just right. Customer service was great. He always checked on us and made sure everything was good. He was very good at explaining some of the items and recommendation. read more

my mother recently passed away and on July 2 went to Bon Chon's for lunch. The meal plus tip was 77.00. The food was cold and overcooked and we begrudgingly ate it. when i got home i called the restaurant in durbin to express my concerns and after several follow up phone calls, today I finally spoke to tyler the kitchen manager. He was rude, and told me pretty much "too bad" and hung up in the phone. i never asked for anything... just wanted let the company know about the meal. So you don't have to worry about me or my family coming there again. read more

Our family's Bonchon favs were the half and half wings, potstickers and bulgogi fried rice. Personally, the spice level of the wings wasn't too high (to me) but the half spicy and half soy garlic option is a good idea if anyone in your group isn't fond of spicy especially if you have kiddos partaking in the wings. The pickled radish accompaniment is a good balance to the wings too! Everyone also liked the pork buns, kimchi (yum!) and chicken katsu. We also ordered the fried octopus dumplings - they were good but the size of the octopus inside seemed smallish. Overall, the food is good and service was surprisingly fast. It's a small venue and probably not ideal for any larger groups but go early if you do have a big group to avoid any longer waits. They don't take reservations. Fortunately, the wait on a Saturday at noon wasn't too bad but they could offer up additional seating options for those waiting. Perhaps add a couple benches outside? read more

Tucked away from the busy, booming areas of the Town Center, Bonchon is a cute little restaurant on Gate Parkway and Town Center Parkway. With so many new restaurants popping up in Jacksonville, what attracted so many people during their first day of opening? Well, apparently this is a chain restaurant and judging from the volume of customers, they are well known for their Korean Fried Chicken! First impression: tiny establishment. If you have a large group... stay away! At least for the first few weeks! I came in on opening night with my best friend and two kiddos. We waited to be seated for about 30 minutes. Not bad, except I noticed another family was there way before me and they weren't seated for another extra 15 minutes simply because they didn't have room for them. If it were me, I would be so upset after being skipped 5 times to accommodate smaller parties. That should've been handled better. Us, on the other hand...we waited about 30 minutes for the food. So one hour overall. Worth the wait? Heck yes. Korean Fried Chicken is the best fried chicken ever. Bonchon's version is incredible. Very savory, crispy, moist, tender and drenched in that delicious sweet soy sauce with a little kick to it. I don't know that I can ever get tired if this food. If "Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs" movie had an Asian food version in real life, I would stand outside with an umbrella upside down to catch Bonchon's Korean Fried Chicken before anything else. It is truly addictive. The food options were amazing. Japchae, Bibimbap, and even tacos? Way to add fries to the menu too! Bonchon can easily satisfy random Asian/American food cravings! I will wait to come back when the crowd dies down a bit but next time I will arrive during their lunch special. More bang for your buck! read more

I've heard amazing things about Bonchon since it came to town, but I wasn't able to try it until now! I'm not the biggest fan of wings so I was never really drawn to this restaurant, but now that I've eaten here, I can't wait to go back! The restaurant is fairly small but I think it's the perfect place to grab some lunch with friends or family. We ordered their lunch special, which came with 8 wings (we ordered soy garlic) and a side (house fried rice) all for $9. It's a great deal! We also had french fries and the pork buns. I wasn't a huge fan of the fried rice or pork buns, but the wings were fantastic! I loved every bite, and would definitely order the soy garlic wings all over again read more

I've been wanting to try this place for a while. The service was good, food came out fast - I did the kalbi and some potstickers - it was pretty good. I would definitely try again. It didn't feel super authentic but that's been hard to come by in Jax so far for me and I did just get back from a a Korea trip this summer. Definitely give it a try and I'll be back to revisit later. read more

Y'all need to revise your store policy. Plans change; people are allowed to change their minds. My daughter ordered our lunch to take out thinking I wouldn't have time on my delivery route to sit and dine in. I arrived, said I had time and we were rejected a table and told take out meals are not allowed to be eaten in the store. I figured I'd order a side but they don't allow take out period. like we could only eat the side we were about to order abcs the meal had to be left in the bag. The restaurant was empty. Two people walked in as we were leaving. Lost my business. IDK of any restaurant in the town center that does this but what I do know is that this inconvenience is a game changer for us especially me since I deliver in this area. They forced us to eat in the car. read more

My first experience with Bonchon was when I was visited GA and it wasn't the best time. The drumsticks were dried and had no flavor. The only part that was good was the crunchiness... Definitely disappointed at that moment. However, my experience at the this Bonchon in Jax was phenomenal! When we got our order, it was delicious and steamy hot. If I had to rank the flavors, mines would be: 1) soy garlic 2) spicy 3) sweet crunch. They were all equally fresh, crunchy and saucy! I highly recommend eating the wings right away too. We left some over and baked it in the oven the next day and it just isn't the same :( Highly recommend trying Bonchon. Though I had a bad first experience, it doesn't hurt to try it another time :) read more

Bonchon Town Center Jacksonville - Ginger salad. Japchae. Wings - Korean Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

Instead of wings, I ordered potstickers, takoyaki, and the buldak today. The potstickers are, eh, not very good. The sides touching the skillet should be golden brown, but like a lot of other "potstickers/gyoza/pan-fried" in the U.S., these are just fried all the way around, like breading almost. They're a bit dry. And while the garlic ones are kind of tasty, the soy ones are also rather bland. The content is just a single blob of meat with no color, which tends to make me suspect something is frozen/prepackaged. $11 also seems a tad pricy for 8 of these.....things. Seasons Dumplings charges you only $9 for 8 legit pan-fried dumplings, and you can watch them make all of it from scratch. I would prefer the takoyaki to be hotter. If the baka gaijin don't accidentally burn their mouth by popping them in, then it's not hot enough. Lol. There's no green onion or ginger, but there's too much cabbage. That means there's not much left in the dish to hold against the savoriness of the takoyaki. *sigh* The takoyaki itself feels......I don't know.....a little too mushy maybe. The buldak was the only thing I liked. It's actually quite spicy by default. Plus, even though it's meaty and cheesy, it still has a good amount of veggies with a strong kimchi flavor that makes it identifiably Korean. The sauce doesn't seem very complex, but it works pretty well. I debated giving this 4 stars. But........whatever. read more

Good service (friendly staff, food came quickly, waters constantly full), clean restaurant with a nice atmosphere, and awesome food! Highly recommend the 20 piece soy garlic wings. Coleslaw or pickled radish- both are good! The seasoned fries are also a must! My only complaint is that about half of our wings were actually tiny drumsticks. Strange. But overall, very yummy and good experience! read more

This was my first time visiting bonchon. I didn't know it was a sit down restaurant, but I liked the interior of the restaurant, which was a little more upscale than I expected. The waiter was friendly, but I could tell he was overwhelmed with handling all the tables. Thankfully I wasn't in a hurry and was able to sit back and relax. I started off with a South Korean beer, Hite, which was on special during happy hour. It paired very well with the half and half chicken wings I picked. You can get half soy garlic and half sweet crunch. 10 pieces was more than enough for me. I liked how crunchy the chicken was and the hotness of the dish. I paired it with the pickled radishes, which was different but healthy. I was happy with my meal and the experience and I will be back for another visit. read more

I'm so relieved. The first time I came to this location (used to live across the street from one in Dallas area), it was not good at all. I was super sad and disappointed. However had to give it another shot since other locations (NY and Dallas) have been better. And I'm glad I did. Although the chicken pieces were smaller than other places, it was still very delicious. We got the medium combo half and half with spicy and sweet crunch. We both liked the spicy better (although not spicy, but had good flavor). The sweet crunch was also good, but not as fantastic as spicy. We got the radish with it. Very good! And a good amount. We also got the bulldak. I was a bit sad that there weren't many rice cakes in it, but the flavor and spice were good. We'll definitely come back. Two of us ordering this had enough leftovers to make another meal for us. read more
