Heard the wings were very good. I think they were okay. The dumplings were good and very spicy.

Best chicken in Uptown Hands Down!! Priced right under $25 dollars and good clean taste Yummy

This is a great place to eat Korean food, especially if you are hanging out around Uptown. From Friday to Sunday they open up until 2 AM, which is always a plus if you get hungry after a few rounds of bar hopping. While we were there, we ordered the 10 pc spicy signature fried chicken wings (which was honestly not that spicy) and the tteokbokki (which was really good). This was enough for sharing amongst 3 people. It is a cute little place, easily accessible, but street parking might be tricky. read more

Wow came in on a Sunday evening. Ordered the sesame ginger salad with chicken it was great, fresh snd the chicken was warmed, fresh on Sunday was not expected. The rest of table was great also: spicy and soy chicken, seasoned fries came hot, picked radish, fried rice and don't forget the kimchi. All great as was the service by the time we were done the place almost filled up read more

See all

Pretty good, weird vibe. Just stick with the chicken for the most part. When it's on, it's on!

This place has absolutely delicious chicken! I went in for lunch on a weekday, at 11:15am, and the service was great and we got our food in less than 10 minutes. We had the combo of wings and drums, half spicy and half regular. My only criticism is the spicy wings need more spice. I like spicy stuff and while the spicy chicken has great flavor, it was just not very spicy. I'm giving it 5 stars because the chicken was perfect - spicy or not! I did not eat anything else on the menu. read more

Fried chicken combo was excellent. Other food was subpar, fried rice was horrible, bogogee taco was ok. Seasoned fries was way too salty. They would not exchange for anything else. Very disappointed. Staff has been nice each time we came. Not sure I would come again. read more

The wait was insane, nearly 1.5 hours waiting between ordering and getting the food. I had no problem waiting a reasonable amount of time since it's new and popular place but it was beyond reasonable. I ordered fried chicken which was OK and another dish which came out cold, it seems they had forgotten the food on the counter. Giving it 2 stars because they offered a refund for the cold food and because the wings were mostly tasty. Disappointing visit to bonchon, will not visit again. read more

I went with a group of friends for a birthday dinner on a Friday afternoon. It wasn't busy at all and service was phenomenal. I would highly recommend the spicy sauce for the chicken wings/drumsticks and the salmon avocado ball. The soy sauce chicken wasn't amazing, but it was edible. Chicken katsu dish is a little dry. Tteokbokki is OK. read more

Food is great and lunch special is a good deal. Only issue is the music playlist is terribly corny and needs to be changed. Some good options on Spotify are Indie R&B and Lofi hiphop/chillhop. read more

Not even ready for their soft opening. The food trickled our item by item. No ice for drinks, the soda looked flat. Food was mediocre at best. They have a long way to go before they're ready for business. Never have I wanted to leave a restaurant so quickly. read more

Goes Executive so executive it's insane went here for first time the other week and the food be so tres bein goes nutty my mind was blown hits 10/10 good eats everyday bois let's get it! would recommend read more

So this is a Korean Fried Chicken chain... so not sure why people are being so critical of other items in the menu.. they specialize in that amazingly light and crunchy sticky wing you can't get out of your mind once you have tried authentic Korean wings. Our 1st experience with this food miracle was in Alexandria VA at a place called Chi Mc.. which I believe was an off shoot of the original Bon Chon. Once you have tried a wing like this... there is seriously no turning back, you will be spoiled forever and will crave it often. The perfect bite is the Soy Garlic bone in flat wing, white steamed rice and a few pickled radish cubes. Seriously the best bite of food you will ever experience. We don't stray much from these staples, shitty service, long waits etc just won't matter once you have tried this trifecta! We like the alcohol service at this location.. everything is so much better after a cold drink. We were underwhelmed at the Dinkytown location... it's too bright, too small and no alc. take out only from them. But do try to eat in to get the tru best bite! You won't regret it.. just don't go to a chicken place and criticize all the non chicken items... that's not why you should be here. read more

My boyfriend and I really enjoy the food here. The Korean Fried Chicken is very good - it has a great crunch to it! We also love their tteokbokki as well! The food here is pretty good, considering MN doesn't have a huge variety of Korean food! As for where it's located; parking can be a hit or miss! However there is a parking ramp across the street! We can't wait to go back! :) read more

I've been to a few Bonchon restaurants on the east coast and this one is the worst in terms of food quality and value. Portions are small, taste quality is poor. Staff at the front desk is great. Only wish the food quality matched up to their quality. read more

One of the best fried chicken I've had in my life. They've figured out the recipe for the perfect crisp and chicken tenderness. Highly recommend! Pork buns were a little on the chewy side, which was a little off for pork belly. Chicken Katsu was a great portion for the price and super flavorful, we will be back! read more

I've been a fan of Korean food for a very long time, so I was excited to try out this place. I ordered the takoyaki, the soy-garlic fried chicken wings, and the japchae. The takoyaki was weirdly tangy and was uncooked in the middle. The soy-garlic wings were a tad bit dry, the breading and the chicken had very little flavor, the sauce was good, but it had very little sauce on the chicken. Japchae is my favorite food and I love trying japchae at different restaurants, and let me just say, it was not good. I don't even know how to explain it. It tasted weird. It didn't taste Korean. Overall, I would give this place 2 stars. Wasn't a fan. read more

Wings are very good but not worth the price. I got a small wing (5 wings) and was charged 15 dollars. If you are looking for good wings and don't care about money, this is your spot. If you are balling on a budget and want wings, you might as well walk into the KFC and get yourself a bucket because these wings are not worth the pretty penny you're going to pay. read more

Went to this place today! Was not expecting this good of quality! Ordered the chicken drummies and they were so crispy and delicious! Best chicken I've ever had in uptown. read more

Update: Went there couple months ago, and they are still as good as ever. This time, I tried their pork belly bun, and they were delicious.

Don't believe the hype. This place is hella mediocre. Was super excited to try this spot after seeing mouthwatering instagram posts. Korean fried chicken sounds like an amazing concept. First off, we tried the "seasoned" fries. I say "seasoned" because these were not seasoned in the slightest. Like they had green stuff sprinkled on them to make it look like they tried but they had no seasoned taste. Just tasted like normal ass fries. I even tried the "seasoning" on its own. It had no taste. It might just be colored bread crumbs honestly. I mean the fries were solid, but I was very disappointed because I can get normal fries anywhere. Then came the wings. There's only 2 sauces: hot and soy. So we ordered the half and half boneless so we can try both. The spicy one is actually spicy and the soy one had a decent taste to it as well. But overall there a. Wasn't enough sauce and b. They were hella whatever. Like BWW is arguably better. Maybe if they gave you a side of the sauce to dip in as well it would be better. But there was absolutely nothing special about these wings. There's no reason for me to want to come back here; it's just food that will provide sustenance but is not pleasing in any way. read more

Awful. We were super excited to find Korean fried chicken in town, but were extremely disappointed. Way overpriced for flavorless wings, unless you consider fryer oil a flavor. Never posted a yelp review before, but would hate to see anyone else Waste their money here. read more

Place is decent. We walked in on a Sunday evening and I didn't know nor did I bother to find out if the restaurant took reservations (and they do via Open Table). We were still offered seats along the window and the bar so we took the window. We ordered a medium combo, which came with wingettes, and drumsticks. There are 3 sauces available so we did the half and half option with soy garlic and spicy. The last option was sweet crunch. The chicken isn't well-seasoned. 99.99% of the flavors are on the outside of the chicken. Once I bit into the chicken, the meat past the skin was bland. Some might say the it's balanced. The batter on the chicken is light and crisp. The combo was served with a side of your choice between pickled radish or cole slaw and we went with the radish. I think it paired well with the chicken. We also ordered Tteokbokki and it tasted good. A little too much onions in this dish though. The chicken here isn't something to die for. Wouldn't mind stopping by again only because service is fast. read more

Bonchon Uptown - Medium combo, left side is spicy, soy garlic on the right. - Korean Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Ate in once and got takeout once; the experience eating in was very nice, and both times the food has been delicious. It took a little longer than expected to get the takeout order fulfilled but the quality makes it worthwhile. Just writing this review has me in the mood to go back! read more

The food was great, but the staff was alright and the cleanliness of the place is a bit questionable. As soon as you walk into the place, it smells of straighup dishwater. Idk maybe it's a combination of all the spice they're using.. we really enjoyed the food but it was hard to get over the smell. We asked for forks and spoons, and the utensils had residue on them. Overall we thought the food was good and we'd recommend it but the cleanliness of this restaurant could improve. read more

This place has the best fried chicken hands down! If you love fried chicken, you will not be dissapointed by going here. It gets super busy and you may have to wait, but it is worth it. The only negative is the restaurant is pretty small, so sometimes the line goes out onto the street. Also, if you are eating it gets really crowded so there is not a lot of moving space. read more

Over hype but good fried chicken. The crispy skin was as advertise! Stay crispy throughout the night. 2 favors to choose from which is fine although i would had like a little bit more kick in the spicy choice.The best dish was the pork buns (although) some friends said otherwise on another occasion). The pork was melt in your mouth and the buns were soft and moist. The beef bulgogi however wasnt good. Little meat to tons of onion ratio and no favor at all. read more

They would have 5 stars if they just served fried chicken, so good and juicy for a small chain restaurant. Perfectly cooked every time. The rest is average read more

First time ever trying Bonchon yesterday. Their grand opening was last Wednesday. Me and my friend were seated right away when we got there. Surprisingly when we arrived around 9:40pm yesterday it was not at all busy. Tbh I feel that the service was kinda slow but I understand the restaurant is still pretty new. We were barely checked on and had to call someone to get more water. I suggust they play some type of music also because there wasn't any music at all until we left. Me and my friend order the medium boneless chicken of half spicy and half soy garlic. It was pretty yummy and the soy garlic is my favorite. We also had the tteokbokki which is very good/spicy & actually my first time ever trying it. I also order myself a tteokbokki and the small chicken combo (6 wings + 3 drumsticks half and half) to go for my siblings. I would actually come back to try the other foods but waiting until everything is all settled and there is alcoholic beverages. read more

First, having been to many Bonchon spots, mostly in NYC area, so food was exactly as I had expected. Service on the other hand was the worst. No utensils/plates/napkins from the get go. Asked for Sprite, waitress replied "only equivalent drink was Pepsi." Huh? I can clearly see Sierra Mist and I repeated "you have Sierra Mist" to the waitress and she gave me a blank stare briefly and offered sparkling water. Then, I ordered lunch combo with 4 drumsticks half & half. Guess what they brought out - drumstick and wing combo. Btw still no utensils or plates. I flagged another waitress and explained both the wrong order and lack of basic service with no utensils napkins or plates, clearly showing anger on my face but not in my voice. My original waitress never came around to apologize. Manager never came around to apologize. They finally brought out the correct order and utensils. No apologies from the original waitress or from the manager. I still left them a small tip of $3 for an order of $26 simply for the kitchen staff and others who could be tip-sharing. Whoever is managing this location is doing a terrible job. Never going back to Bonchon Minneapolis and would tell others to do the same. read more
