    Every time I come here, the food is phenomenal. All you need to do is order appetizers so you can have multiple things to eat from the food is so delicious.

    The best French fried. Friend Chicken is tasty! Will be back soon. The inside is spacious,clean,well designed. Stuff is friendly. Food is served quickly. Price is reasonable.

    20 pc Wings

    I've been to Bonchon so many times in different places but this location is the WORST. Our chicken wings barely had sauces and the sever was very rude. We had to ask him for drink refills and he was not nice at all when he was responding. Server was also touching a dog and then serving foods without cleaning in the store. Also, we had to wait so long to get our bills because the server was busy talking with his friends. Not only that food was bad, but the service was also horrible. Waste of money, worst experience so far.

    Basically Bonchon is the only place you could get Korean Fried Chicken in the Twin Cities and I was pretty excited when it opened. Now I believe there are 3 Bonchon locations in MN, Dinkytown (here), Uptown and at the Mall of America. For me, the fried chicken at this location is 4/5 if you get the drumsticks or boneless wings with the spicy sauce (which btw in my opinion is not spicy, and I love spicy food). Everything else on the menu I would recommend you to go somewhere else and is mediocre. Due to covid and wanting to have my Korean fried chicken with some beer at home, I've only done take out a couple of times so I can't say much on the service. It is a franchise and I've been to other locations that I like more but overall they're all pretty much the same or very similar.

    First time to this place, the food is as good as I expected. The spicy chicken is hot. And the BBQ is mild. Loved both. We will do this again.. as should you

    Rice cakes with fish cakes

    I'm not a huge fan of fried chicken but Bonchon definitely had super crispy skin! It was cooked well, still juicy. I don't eat much of the skin, but that's definitely where all the flavor is. I recommend spicy over the soy garlic. The spicy is more of a mild, but I enjoyed the flavor more. The chicken comes with one side which was either radish or something else. The rice cakes came with some fish cakes which was fine. I didn't try the baos but it looked a bit thin with a lot of slaw at ~$9. It's located in Dinkytown next to the super busy Insomnia and some pub. So you may have to circle around a few times for street parking or park further away. During COVID, the restaurant is currently social distancing, staff wearing mask and one was wearing gloves. There was only one waitress/hostess and everyone else was kitchen staff. It was pretty busy because they have so many to go orders, but she was attentive and friendly! They are only like six tables so I guess limited capacity is enforced.

    Just get the darn wangs with soy/garlic sauce. You won't be disappointed. Eat, pray and eat again.

    Salmon Avocado Ball

    So glad I stopped in! I did not expect the atmosphere from the outside appearance, but it's oddly nice inside. Honestly the menu looked soo good and I'm sad I stopped in for a short, light lunch. Two of us split the tacos and salmon avo ball - both good! I would probably prefer a different type of tortilla for the tacos, something that suits the Korean flavors better, but I loved the sweet spicy flavoring. The salmon avo ball was delicious, but a bit rich for a full meal. I'll definitely be stopping back in for a happy hour during the week and to try the wings.

    Small bone-in wings
    Maria H.

    This was my first time at Bonchon and I'll definitely be back! We ordered a small serving of bone-in wings (half spicy, half soy garlic), Korean bulgogi tacos, and the fried tofu bibimbap. Im usually a boneless wing kinda gal but I read other reviews telling me to opt for the bone-in. I'm glad I did! The skin was so crispy and flavorful but the sauce didn't make a huge mess. The chicken was tender enough that the bones were super easy to remove. It also came with a side of pickled radish which was super flavorful contrary to it's bland appearance. At $10-ish for 10 wings, i thought that this was a relatively good deal, and the perfect size to split & still be able to try more. Not pictured were the Korean bulgogi tacos and the Bibimbap. The tacos were delicious! The meat was flavorful and they were loaded with sauce which is always a plus for me. They were about $10 for three good sized tacos. The Bibimbap was the flop of the meal. Still tasty, but the fried tofu had little seasoning, and was soggy compared to the crispy wings. It just seemed like there were bigger stars on the menu, and it was about the same price as the other items. As far as atmosphere goes, the place was clean and nice and quite small. The wait staff was fine, and our food came very quickly (probably about 5-10 minutes after ordering) for 5 p.m. On a Saturday night. Definitely check this place out!

    Half and half boneless wings: soy garlic and spicy.

We ordered everything at once, starting with the Szechuan green beans and pizza fries, along with three different kinds of wings: garlic parmesan, lemon pepper, and smoky ranch. It took a little while for the food to come out, but once it did, it was well worth the wait. The wings were loaded with flavor, and I really liked that they served whole wings instead of just flats or drummies. The booths were comfortable and roomy, and the big screen TVs made it easy to keep up with the college football games. Between the great service, flavorful food, and relaxed atmosphere, we were more than happy with our visit. Parking was also easy, and since the place is tucked away a bit, it feels like a hidden gem. We'll definitely be back to try more of the menu.

Seriously, I've probably had everything on the menu and have never been disappointed. They have an extensive collection of beers that will please anybody, with some of the best Hazys and best Sours in town, and also cocktails that work for folks that don't want a beer. The patio is superb, and although you sometimes share it with a passing train, it's tucked away and is a nice separation from the business of the surrounding north loop. I'd argue the wings are easily top 3 in the whole state, they're always crispy, and the monthly specials are clearly thought over and iterated on by talented chefs that want to try new and unique things. The pizza is also probably the best Detroit style in the city, try the Elote and you'll see what I mean. Staff is a hoot, they're all super nice, great to talk to, and have honest opinions about their own menu. Seriously, if you're anywhere near the downtown area, go here.
