Favorite place to eat Korean fried chicken in San Diego on Mondays and Tuesdays for their $1 wings dine in deal. The deal is up to 12 wings per person which is great because after 6 wings - dipped heavily in ranch sauce - I'm full. Deal doesn't come with any sides like radish or rice and costs extra. My go to spicy wing sauce is yangnyeom. The Littles (who normally don't like very seasoned or saucy things) surprisingly liked the 3 non spicy flavors. Bulgolgi fries is overall crispy and tasty but has little Bulgolgi in it. Japchae was underwhelming. Parking sucks but it never takes me more than 2 minutes to find parking. I've never had to wait for seating but I've seen that wait times can be from 30 minutes - 1 hour at peak times or with large parties. read more

Located in a shopping center with lots of other good foods but plenty of parking. We came for their $1 wing specials which are only held Mondays and Tuesdays for dine in only and a maximum of 15 wings per person. You are also able to take it home if you don't finish but it is way more than enough. There was a small wait and the servers Annika and Kyla were attentive and responsive. We tried all flavors of the wings. All 3 of us had different favorites but I'd say all the flavors were pretty good and there wasn't a flavor I disliked. Their tteokboki was sooo good. I really enjoyed the flavor and so far my best I've tried. Other places are too sweet or has too much overpowering gochuchang. This place is by far my favorite for tteokboki. I really didn't like their takoyaki though. Too much flour/dough and they were not mindful making it since some pieces only had 1 piece of octopus while some piece had none and was just straight up flour. I'd come back for their wings and tteokboki though. read more

Bonchon National City - Bulgogi Korean Tacos, and Seoul Sampler (gyoza, soy garlic fried chicken wings, bulgogi fries, and cheesy corn) - Korean Near Me - National City, California

PSA: Monday and Tuesday -- $1 wings! (Dine-in only, limit of 15). The place is sorta hidden in the back corner of that plaza. I ordered 8 wings and some fried zucchini to-go before I found out about the $1 wings.... with tax and tip it came out to $25... it's definitely NOT worth that much. I felt ripped off, I should just ate there. Wings were delicious... I'll be back on a Monday/Tuesday. Service was friendly. There is plenty of seating. They also had a small bar with some TVs. read more

I was here yesterday and I gotta say I do like the wings and the rest of the food but the best part was the waitress she was so attentive despite being alone, having more than 6 tables, and also being in charge of the register. She was pleasant stop by various times to see if we needed anything, and had a smile the whole time. This place can take my money any day as long as this kind of service is what I get. read more

I'm never disappointed with this place. When I want a crispy fried chicken this is my go to. Even as delivery they still arrive crispy. The soy garlic flavor is delicious and doesn't overpower on either ingredient. I also enjoy the Shrimp Shumai. It's a light appetizer that could be enough for a snack on its own as well. Highly recommend Bonchon. read more

Came in around 2/3PM on Tuesday for the $1 wings. Came in and sat right away. Service was a little slow because there was only one person but they were very nice. Overall wings are good and hot as always. Soy garlic is the way to go. Kbbq is also good. They give a lot more rice compared to other locations which is nice. read more

Bonchon National City - Korean Near Me - National City, California

Bonchon remains as our go-to Korean fried chicken spot mainly because 1) it was the first we had tried for Korean fried chicken in San Diego when they first opened, 2) their K-Meal to-go (serves 4-6) for $44.99 consisting of 12 wings (bone-in or boneless) and 6 drumsticks, plus 2 sides, and 3) their fried chicken flavors are delicious, consistently prepared, and when packaged in this deal for 4-6 is reasonably priced. Our favorite flavors are their spicy and Yangnyeom. Crunch is spot on, and we typically order 1 fried rice & 1 cole slaw. Service is always good, dining room has always been clean but we do takeout 90% of the time. We're just happy they have a location in National City so we don't have to go all the way to Kearny Mesa to get food from here. read more

I couldn't wait to try these wings. I love bbq.chicken and loved their garlic soy, honey garlic and Gangnam style. Here I tried spicy and Korean bbq wings. They were Ok. The sweetness was too sweet as in sugar sweet while the bbq. Chicken had more flavor from the garlic I guess. The spicy were front of the mouth spicy. They were OK but nothing fantastic. read more

After visiting a grocery store nearby my Son saw this BONCHON a Korean Fried Chicken . We have been to their Convoy location multiple times but it's our first time here in their National City branch. Their place here is way smaller compared to their Convoy location, but the service is the same, quick, and friendly. Ordered our usual 23 pieces of Half and Half the Korean BBQ and Soy Garlic The chickens are still good, juicy inside and with crispy skin with a delicious coating of their special sauces, but most of the chickens we had were tiny h it was delivered to our table we saw big ones but under the big ones were small sizes. But still good, as long their Chickens are still delicious as always. Parking is tough since there are many stores in this area including a big grocery a few steps from it. read more

Delicious, thick juice crispy and amazingly flavorful wings! Did take out, I ordered a 10 piece with half soy garlic and half classic crunch and I'm still thinking about them. Some of the best wings I've had in a quite a while. Also their pickled radish is so crunchy and sweet, it's the best foil for these savory chicken flaps! Will be ordering again soon! read more

I haven't been to bonchon in such a long time! We were in convoy walking around waiting for another restaurant and we saw the $1 wings on mondays and tuesdays so we came to the national city location! It took a little bit of time to be serviced once we were seated, but not too terrible of a wait. The chicken wings were so delicious! They were most importantly, crispy and also flavorful! The fries were garlic pharm & were cooked to perfection. Not too much garlic. The fries were crispy on the outside and soft in the inside! We ultimately decided to do a lunch deal, because of the variety. We definitely will be back for the $1 wings! read more

Bonchon was located in a large plaza, the business was tucked away in the corner. It's pretty close to Seafood City (a market). I've never been in National City before today and they have multiple of different Asian businesses in this plaza! 85 Degrees, Daiso, Chao XO, Bonchon, and probably a few others. The parking lot is has many places to park although some spaces can be quite narrow. This Bonchon was a bit unlike other spots that I've been to. There was a sign that stated Please Wait To Be Seated & they asked how many in our group (5 of us) and chose a table for us. Gave us the menus. We decided to share: - Bulgogi Fries, thèse were so much more flavorful and delicious than I thought. I love that they made a cheese sauce (rather than melted cheese bc when that gets cold it becomes not great in texture). The cheese sauce was intertwined with a bit of heat. The bulgogi was minimal, but not overly sweet which I liked. The fries were hot, perfectly cooked with a great light and crispy batter. Overall, it was great and I would get it again! - 10 PC Soy Garlic Tenders with side of Rice, these were good in terms of flavor. I prefer the wings for extra crunch and deliciousness compared to the tenders. But my friends that ordered the tenders really enjoyed them with the rice and some soy sauce. - +12 PC?, Half Soy Garlic Wings & Half Korean BBQ Wings with a side of rice, this one was hands down the best. The chicken was cooked beautifully. That I was able to eat the bones cleanly. They pulled apart nicely. They were perfectly fried with a lovely crunch and crisp that held up all during the time we were eating. Saucy but not overly and distinct flavors. The soy garlic is a favorite of mine. But the Korean bbq flavor was delicious as well, there was some spice but it wasn't whackbang. My friend, who has never had Bonchon before, really enjoyed the wings and the K BBQ flavor. - I don't remember how many pieces, but also ordered the Yangnyeom Tenders with rice as well. This flavor is a seasoned sweet and spicy sauce. To drink, we got 1 Pepsi, 3 Sprites, 1 Iced Water. This is a Korean Chicken spot, so they don't have iced tea or lemon slices. But they have soju, beer, sodas, and sparkling water. They were kind to refill our cups with water and give us cups of ice as well. We came in after walking 4 ish miles in the heat so the iced drinks were very much appreciated! The total for our lunch was ~$101.57, which is shocking to see a large number. But when you think about it, there was 5 of us, so about $20 per person! Which isn't too bad, especially for quality. We were able to finish all the food and felt satisfied. I would recommend this location and eating the food here. The Bulgogi Fries were delicious and highly recommend ordering the wings! read more

I arrived on a Sunday afternoon 20 minutes after I called in a pickup order. I was told itll take a few more minutes for my 20 pcs wings to be ready. 2 walk in customers comes in to dine in, and the 2 workers chit chat their merry way. One guy was also waiting for door dash order only to be given his order 10 minutes after he was already sitting and his food waiting on the counter. I walked up to them another 20 min AFTER calling my order in only to be given my order that was sitting on the counter since I got there!! Did I get an apology? Nope! Instead I was asked if I needed napkins. WOW in customer service! Train your employees to pay attention on working instead of chit chatting read more

We came here for the $1 wings got 30 in total with 4 different flavors: soy garlic, spicy, yangnyeom and korean bbq. Our favorites were the soy garlic and spicy, but the yangnyeom was a close second. Unfortunately, this time the chicken did not seem as fresh and the soy garlic was lacking flavor. We also got the bulgogi house fried rice which was delicious The servers were very welcoming and friendly. The ambiance is chill place to hangout with friends and plenty of tables. read more

Bonchon National City - chicken wings, bulgogi rice, French Fries - Korean Near Me - National City, California

First off, I'd give Bonchon in National City 10 stars if I could!! I've been here many times and it's definitely a staple in my diet. First off, the service is very friendly and warm. We are always greeted right away with a smile, water comes out quickly (along with refills), and service is just top notch!! The restaurant is always clean and there are 3 televisions if you want to tune out while enjoying your delicious chicken. Speaking of chicken, WOW!! Seriously, Bonchon has the BEST Korean fried chicken ever!! My mouth is watering just thinking about them. I always get the soy garlic- so delicious!!! I love how crunchy they are with that glaze- yum! PERFECTION!!! My hubby and I also got the garlic parmesan fries and the bulgogi glass noodles. They are both so great and I would get them again! I highly recommend Bonchon. You won't regret it!! read more

small inside but nice - not too cramped like some places in San Diego tend to be. Calm atmosphere, polite staff , servers were polite and attentive. The place overall was very chill but still a vibe and the chicken .. WORTH THE HYPE to say the LEAST. If you like sweet with a lil something extra then just hop on the Yangnyeom flavor - won't disappoint! Any flavor is good but that's my personal favorite. As for the cook on the chicken ... PERFECTION. Skin is crispy but like ... CRISPY CRISPY. Each bite is crackle-y & crunchy , like biting into a candied glass, while the inside is moist and juicy. Overall great experience, will definitely be coming again and again ! read more

Bonchon National City - Mix Mixed 6 PC 4Wings 2 Drums - Korean Near Me - National City, California

We decided to go for their current $1 wing special going on during Mondays and Tuesdays. We had been to the Convoy location but never checked out the National City location so we decided to give it a try. This location is a lot smaller than the Convoy location therefore there was a bit of a wait to be seated. We had given our name to the hostess to be added to the waitlist and after about waiting 45 minutes, we had asked if our name had been called. She had let us know that it hadn't yet so we continued to wait. When she came out a while later to seat another party, we noticed that our name wasn't on the list so we asked and they said that we were actually next. I understand they were very busy but we think they forgot to put our name down when it was given to them initially. In total, we waited about an hour to be sat and we went on a Tuesday around 6pm. We ordered 5 wings of each flavor that they had. They had Korean BBQ, Soy Garlic, Yangnyeom, and Spicy. They were all very delicious flavors. I recommend the Soy Garlic if you're not into spicy food/flavors. The Yangnyeom flavor was new and it was very tasty with a little kick of spice, definitely recommend. The Korean BBQ was very good as well, we felt it just had a slight more spice than the Yangnyeom flavor. The Spicy was pretty spicy for us and we eat quite a bit of spice on the daily. The Bulgogi fries were also really good. The fries were crispy and soft and the bulgogi was also really tasty. There were a few sauces on there that came together well. Overall the flavors were really good, the prices were good for the special they had going on, and the staff were very nice even though they were very busy with dine in and takeout. Definitely recommend. read more

Ordered 20pc strips half regular/spicy, upon arrival to my residence I opened up the box to find soggy chicken. Since my first time having Bon Chon about 6 years ago, I've never had any bad experience with take out or dine in. Completely disappointed in the matter that Korean fried chicken is always the best and extremely crispy. The finish time was about 17 minute for my food to be ready I got to the location with 5 minutes to spare and it was as the food had just been sitting there for quite some time. Not worth it especially for the price. Need to step it up! read more

Food was amazing and so was the server! Here is my review on each food. Spicy fried rice : flavor was good, rice was a little bit hard but maybe that's because I came a little late, I appreciate the fact that it was actually somewhat spicy and not just being called that like what most stores do Tenders : the outside has a nice coating of sauce and was very crisp , good sizes too Bulgogi fries : best thing we ordered! Everything was amazing they did a great job with the texture of the fries, has a nice crisp to it. read more

This will definitely be the only Bon chon I go to when I'm in the area. It's always clean. The wings are always on point. I came here a few times for lunch, this place has really good service and food. The workers are always polite and welcoming. I always get the lunch spicy combos wings with rice, they come out tender, crispy and spicy. So delicious!! Sometimes I get another order to save for later, and it'll still taste good and not dry out or get hard. The sauce is spot on here. This one is the best Bonchon so far, I really like coming to this location. Parking is easy too. Bonus, there's milk tea and desserts in the same area you can go to after. read more

Whatever girl was serving on Tuesday night was rude and made me not wanna order anything so I left and waited for my fam til the next food spot. We were gonna get rounds of wings n dishes & she pretended to ask if I could get more flats & was rude saying " well they're only a dollar". Girl I didn't ask that and you should at least t try to accommodate or nicely explain. Don't b rude telling me it's cheap so no special requests, don't be rude. She seems miserable at her job. Other than that the food is usually good especially soy garlic flavor anything read more

Unfortunately customer service was complete opposite then our first visit. Maybe she was new and still learning the ropes but, it was just not good! Our order of fried rice went to a different table. Then when she realized it was the wrong table (minutes later as she had returned to the kitchen to pick up other orders) because that party brought it to her attention they never ordered fried rice. Then she took the fried rice off their table and brought it to ours and insured us it wasn't touched by the other party! VERY UNPROFESSIONAL!! After inspecting the rice, it did seem untouched but, my first thought was to reject all together as it sat at another table for some time. First visit we were given small plates and a bucket for our trash or bones. This time...received neither and had to ask for it. Food was still amazing! It was service this time that made my review go from a 5star to 3star read more

Ordered pick up from this location, the last time we went was probably December of last year, I don't think it has ever disappointed. However this time I'm unsure if the quality or the kind of chicken that was used for the boneless wings (half soy and half spicy) it was horrible. I feel like McDonald's has better chicken, I believe like ground chicken is being used now vs the regular chicken from before. I even had to just eat around the chicken to get some flavor, it was very disappointing. Everything else we ordered did not taste different, we got the pickled radish and bulgogi fired from rice. I included a photo below. I'm very frustrated for spending my money here since it is expensive and did not get good quality. It really is a shame. Ruined my experience and probably won't come back again. read more

The food was delicious and great portions. Our waitress was very pleasant and informative. My husband and ai will be returning.

I love wings and I love Korean wings especially. I came to bonchon because my friend told me they have great bulgogi items. The waiter also recommended to us the wings are thier specialty! So we ordered a dozen wings. Half spicy and half regular. They were so good ! Came with 4 giants drums and the rest were regular size. Man they were some of the best wings we have ever had. Crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. We also got bulgogi fries and bulgogi tacos which were also good ! The fried rice was some of the best fried rice I have ever had! Definitely coming back here to try some other item on the menu ! read more

10/10 the food was so delicious. The wings have a good crunch to them. I'll definitely come back

My boyfriend and I were excited to try this place because our friends kept telling us how delicious their wings were. We went in and the waitress told asked if we were going to dine in or order to go. We told her we would dine in and she asked us to sit down. The place had 3 other tables being used but as we sat down a couple was leaving, so only 3 tables (including ours) were being used. I do have to mention all other tables had food already. We sit down and got our menus and the waitress asked what to drink. I told her water and my boyfriend asked for a soda. As we're looking what to get a family of 4 sits down next to us. During this time my boyfriend tells me not to freak out but there was a small cockroach behind me in the wall. I HATE cockroach. He sort of swooshes it away. Then we see a dead cockroach on the floor next to me! So at this time we start questioning if we should leave or stay. The waitress comes back gives my boyfriend and me our drinks and tells us she'll be back to take our order. She then goes to the table next to us (where the newly arrived family of 4 was) and she gives them water and starts taking their order! When we had been there for a good 20 minutes before them. We ended just leaving. My boyfriend was pretty upset and he did go back to speak to the manager and calmly told him that he did not appreciate that we had been waiting and the waitress took the order of the people who came in AFTER us and he also told him of the cockroaches. He said the manager apologized but damage was done to us and instead of trying to make up for their mistake they sort of dismissed him. We're disappointed by the cleanliness and lack of service. My boyfriend thinks it was because we were the only Mexican people there. The family of 4 were of asian descent, as well as everyone who was there including the waitress. So maybe if you're not of asian descent be aware they may prefer to service others before they get to you. We're highly disappointed as we had high hopes of trying to this place. read more

The wait can be kind of long here because the inside is pretty small. The chicken is worth the wait. The skin is super crispy. I personally love the soy garlic flavor because the spicy can be a bit too spicy at times. I typically choose the coleslaw over the radish. Their seasoned fries are a must! read more

Although the chicken is bomb, I will say it's super salty and you need rice to balance it out. We came on a Sunday for lunch and unfortunately they only do lunch specials M-F. It's also very pricey for their food but it is worth it. The spicy is very spicy so be aware! The parking here is rough, be prepared to circle around a few times before you can find a spot. Also they only do military discounts on Wednesdays! read more
