Great casual Korean fusion place. The chicken is fantastic (everyone loves the soy garlic flavor; the spicy option is also good but too hot for most palates). Order the wings/drumsticks ahead of time since it takes 20-30 mins to prepare. However, the chicken strips only take a few minutes and is a great (and very crunchy) alternative. The other dishes are generally satisfying as well. Not the best Korean food I've had but it's still very tasty and high quality. I've tried most of the main dishes and recommend all of them. I have some mixed feelings about some of the appetizers though (salmon avocado ball is great, tteokbokki is not so great, sliders are good, etc.). read more

10/11/2022 2pm I was so disappointed with their pork buns order (which I just ordered it like one hour ago), not the pork itself but the buns. The buns were so hard we couldn't eat them, we just ate the pork, kind of defeating the whole purpose to order pork buns w/o the buns. It's like something we put in a microwave, overdid it, no more moisture in the buns, they are hard as a rock. How can they do that and sell it to their customers? When they picked up the buns, they do not feel it? They were as hard as rocks. I will think twice to order from them again. I used to like Bonchon a lot. read more

Their chicken is really addictive but I always order one from main dish too and everything is so perfect. I want to eat their food everyday read more

These wings are AMAZING! Talk about crunch and flavor! Soy Garlic is the way to go!!! Pork Dumplings wow they make any others I've had was amazing. read more

Just had lunch there for the 1st visit. Very friendly and very good. They let us try the spicy soy garlic wings before we ordered. Spicy was a little too hot for me, made my nose run. Soy garlic were very good. Crispy but not greasy. My girlfriend and I both like the pickled radish. She even liked the steamed shrimp shumai which she never had before. We will definitely go back there. read more

After three visits this is a restaurant to skip, on the positive the spicy wings are definitely spicy and acceptable with a nice beer to go with it. The stir fried rice with egg and vegetables was tasteless and had a few diced onions and a tiny bit of tomato, the egg was not to be found. Moving on to the onion rings, a ton of batter and a slight see through slice of onion, tried the chicken legs as well another mistake, overall poor quality This last attempt ended up in the trash. An expensive take out place and one to write off. read more

I really enjoyed the chicken. Didn't know nothing about the double fry. Spicy is my favorite, I tried this week crunch and it was good. Still have to try the other one but I really enjoy their food read more

Ordered for delivery last week. Shorted me an entire order of chicken tenders. Order of fries had about 20 fries in it. Called the restaurant right away about the missing order. They said they would refund and it would take several days to show up on the card. They never refunded. Will not be ordering from them again. read more

I love this place since they open in nutley! Chickens are crispy and so good . Just GOOD. When there's ANY complain with store, the owner(or a manager) resolve the problem immediately! Very nice and impressive service. I like their wings in soy garlic sauce! SPEECHLESS!!! Just good taste and it is thousand times better than any other chicken places. Try now and enjoy it!! read more

I got pick up late one night. The employee was very pleasant. They waited to make my bubble tea so that it wouldn't melt by the time I came to pick it up. I thought that was very thoughtful. The spicy wings were super spicy. Almost like a ghost pepper spice that doesn't initially but when it does it makes you want to cry and it lingers! The soy garlic wings were delicious and perfectly crispy. The seasoned fries were also addictive. We got udon soup as well that my husband enjoyed, I did not try it. Japchae was tasty and the bubble tea was also yummy and thankfully not sweet like other places where they load it with sugar. read more

Love this place !! They are always fresh and always have good service. They are fast and efficient! I'm Really pleased with the service here! My fav is the wings with soy! read more

Thank you, Bon Chon, for literally saving my dad's birthday party! We also ordered food from a very horrible restaurant, which shall not be named. It was awful and embarrassing. We showed up with the chicken from Bon Chon, and the party REALLY got started! Many of the guests who are already familiar with your chicken became really excited, and the rest became huge fans! The chicken was perfectly done. No complaints...except we probably should have ordered more! read more

This Bonchon better not be closing anytime soon. Seriously all of you people giving it stanky ratings will be the cause of its demise. Well not really but it doesn't help. Anyways having a Bonchon so close is a blessing. It was impossible to drive all the way to Fort Lee area to get some KFC (Korean fried chicken) and still have it crispy enough by the time I get back home. Because of this location now my whole journey takes me less than half an hour from pulling out of my garage to pulling back in. This means from the time the fried chicken leaves the kitchen to when it enters my awaiting mouth is a short fifteen minutes! Oh the humanity. How could I get so lucky?! The order is still piping hot by the time I sit my voluptuous bottom on the couch and dig in to some coma-inducing Korean goodness. Piece of advice though: make sure you call ahead. Deliciousness takes time. There's plenty of street parking around the area so it's no biggie stopping by and eating in. As for me I like to take it to go. So don't let the 3 stars I'm giving it fool you--this Bonchon hits all the right spot for me. Like I said I hope they make it 'cause I'd sure hate to lose an awesome culinary spot. P.S. People three stars on Yelp is ALREADY a good rating so check this place out! read more

The putrid oil that the chicken strip was cooked in stunk up my car really really bad, I hope it will vanish with me leaving the windows open - either the car or the smell, at this point I don't care. ... waiting for the Alka-Seltzer to kick in so I can feel less miserable. Ahhhhrrrrr! read more

I placed my order at 6:07 PM on a Friday, they said it would be 40 minutes. When I drove by, I saw that there were a lot of people waiting, so came in 60 minutes after I called. After I paid, they said the order would be another 10 minutes. When that time was up, I asked when my order would be ready, and they said it would be another 15 minutes. Getting my order 90 minutes after I placed my order is unacceptable. They offered a discount, then backed away from that saying I couldn't get a discount because I already paid. I told them to cancel. The staff should be working to inform their customers of this big delay to manage expectations, this is a poorly run restaurant and I would not recommend it. read more

I'm updating my review because I received a call from the owner the week after my event. She apologized and provided me with a gift card for our trouble. I appreciate a business owner that owns up to their mistakes and does what they can to make it right! Will definitely give them another chance! read more

Food is fantastic, just pay cash! My buddy has his card hacked and they tried to charge a bunch of things to his card..

Arguably one of the best derivative fried chicken/buffalo wings ever. Bests KFC and Popeyes by a long shot. read more

Bonchon Nutley - Chicken Wings Near Me - Nutley, New Jersey

So first off, they let you know on their menu to order at least 30 minutes because it's made to order.... After having a quote time of 35 minutes, my boyfriend went to go pick it up... 45 minutes passed and finally we get the call! There was a mad house & it was only 12:45pm! Understandable since it's the weekend and brand new.... Excited to eat, our food order was not complete :( I called the restaurant to inform them about the missing item, side of steamed rice. Not a big deal at that point. Spoke to the owner, who apologized and offered to drive all the way to my house with a complimentary dish. The owner was very sincere and apologetic. I wish all the best for BonChon Nutley! They have a great concept that's in a good location. Keep up the good work, I'm sure the kinks will work out & you'll be successful! Thank you for listening to your guests concerns! read more

Called in an order on my way home for Christmas Eve munchies...cough cough! Got a combo of the garlic soy chicken wings and drumsticks along with Parmesan and parsley fries...my first time trying a Jersey location since this is one of my fave spots in Korea town! Everything was precise and delicious. The medium combo was enough for 3 people with an average appetite :) ! When I'm not near the city, I have a new somewhat local spot! read more

I have been watching this place being built and based on the Yelp reviews on other locations I was really looking forward to trying their food. I stopped by this afternoon since their website said they were open at 11:30. A young lady opened the door toATE tell me they were closed but would be doing a soft opening later and would be open for business at 5:00. She gave me a menu which specified they needed up to 30 minutes for pick up since the food was made to order. I called starting at 7:45 to place my order and every 5 minutes after (I was never told they were closing at 8) only to get an answering machine each time . We decided to take a chance and drive by and sure enough they were open with people eating inside. My husband went inside and the young lady behind the register told him they closed at 8 o'clock (it was about 8:15 by now) my husband explained that I tried calling before 8 o'clock and she very curtly told him they were too busy to answer the phone. This is not a good start for a new business and certainly not a good indication of future customer service. Hubby said they won't ever see him again but I really like their kind of food and might give them a try. But an apology or some sort of better customer service (free appetizer?) sure would have gone a long way. For now one star only for the way we were treated and will have to see how the food measures up. ****UPDATE**** We just couldn't resist not giving this place another try and we are glad we did. First they are definitely suffering from Beginners Blues. I am hoping all the confusion and disorganization is because they didn't anticipate the crush they are experiencing and still working the kinks out . I stopped by around 2 o'clock to avoid the problems we faced last night. Two very sweet young ladies informed me they were still doing a soft opening and the hours were from 5 to 8, but I could place my order now. I did and told them I would back between 6:15 -6:30. When I returned at 6:20 the place was busy, not completely full but those there were waiting for take out, no one was dining in although there were enough cute white tables and chairs to accommodate about 20-25 people. The place is clean and bright but spartan and small. Anyway, despite placing my order hours before it still was not ready and I overhead them tell the walk-ins the wait was an hour to an hour and a half. Wow. This time however the kids behind the register apologized profusely for the wait. My order was finally ready at 7, and they threw in 2 free drinks, steamed white rice, kimchi coleslaw, regular coleslaw and pickled Daikon radish which is included with the wings. Hubby got the combo, 10 wings and 5 drum sticks ($20.95) that come pre-marinated, they do not offer sauce on the side. You have a choice of spicy (made with fiery and spicy red chili peppers) or soy garlic or a half and half combo. Hubby got his wings and drums with soy garlic, which he said was delicious. The wings were crispy on the outside and nice and juicy on the inside, nice portions and the soy garlic flavor was great. I got the pot stickers with the soy garlic flavor. Even though they forgot the dipping sauce they were very good and full of flavor. Now the sides: The pickled Daikon radish was great, crunchy and cool and a little sweet that they recommend as a cool down for the spicy wings. It was great even with the soy garlic. The Kimchi coleslaw was way too hot even for my hubby and he loves anything spicy. The regular coleslaw was delicious and the white rice was good. It was fun to sample the sides along with the chicken and the pot stickers. All in all the food was very good, presented well for take out, generous portions but although not cheap it has good value. They seem to have a loyal following as some of the people waiting for take-out mentioned they frequented their other locations. I don't know if the "newness" will wear off and the lines and the waits will subside when the hours increase. But I can see the attraction. Bon Chon is a welcome respite from the usual Pizza, Italian, Sushi and Chinese found throughout Nutley. I hope they succeed and I wish them luck and upgrade them to four stars. read more

Chicken strips and wings are top notch! So crispy and comes out hot and fresh. Japchae here is hands down my favorite out of all the Korean spots I've tried. I'm assuming it's because of the soy garlic sauce they use. The soy garlic is amazing, so much flavor. Yo have to try it. So many options to try, i need to come back more often. read more

Last week, I had a craving for some Korean at lunch. When I got to Bonchon, I thought I'd go for the fried chicken but I ended up with the Spicy chicken bibimbap. For $9.95 you get a great deal! Good amount of rice, mixed veggies, some DELICIOUS and pretty spicy chicken, and a fried egg on top. The service was friendly and pretty quick (though I was the only customer that day). I really enjoyed the pepper paste on the side, it gave it even more of a kick. I'd definitely go back! read more

Bonchon Nutley - Spicy chicken bibimbap lunch special, only $9.95 for the food (drink was extra). - Chicken Wings Near Me - Nutley, New Jersey

Have finally revisited after my initial review. Bumped to 5 stars since the wait time has been improved greatly (about 20 min), the portions are standard now (wings and drummettes are small, like how you would get them at Buffalo Wild Wings) and the mixed portion includes several large drumsticks. Flavor and sauce was spot on, typical of Bon Chon. So overall much happier this visit. This location is now up to the standard you'd expect from a Bon Chon. Spending $32 on an order of fried chicken is a whole 'nother debate, though! read more

This place has the most terrible customer experience. The girl at the counter was on her phone sitting down not paying attention to ANY food coming out. I was waiting for 25 minutes in the store when I arrived on time for my pickup. I waited an additional 25 minutes JUST FOR MY ORDER TO BE SITTING ON THE COUNTER THE ENTIRE TIME. IF THE GIRL AT THE REGISTER PAID ATTENTION TO HER ACTUAL JOB, THEN SHE WOULD OF SEEN THAT MY ORDER WAS THERE. instead, she wants to pay attention to her phone instead of the business that pays her. There was a line of people waiting, many of whom had left and come back since their food ordered was delayed, only to be told they have to wait more. Who knows, there orders might be ready on the table but the girl can't do her job. Terrible person is working there, wow. I would give this place 0 stars if I could. read more

I was visiting from out of town and was craving some korean fried chicken. This location was really different from what I'm used to back home in Maryland and is a lot smaller than other locations I've been to. First off, the service was kind of weird. We sat down at a table and it took a while for us to get the menus. We had to order from the front cashier, rather than having our orders taken at our table. Secondly, we were given paper plates with plastic utensils and cups which is something I'm totally not used to compared to the other locations I've been to which provide actual dishes and silverware. And thirdly, we weren't given complimentary radish with our chicken, which I'm usually used to. I was going to ask for radish as we were eating but surprisingly the chicken wasn't as greasy so I was able to eat it without the radish. The chicken wings here are also a lot smaller and I was able to eat more pieces than I normally do so in that sense the chicken is a bit pricey for what you get. Overall, it wasn't a bad experience but I've had better korean fried chicken at other places. read more

Placed an order for curbside pick up and was texted that order was ready. Sat in the parking lot for another half hour. Why text that order was ready for pick up when we were told it wasn't ready when arrived? Waited another 20 minutes after speaking to the lady 3 times. Don't offer curbside or text it's ready if nothing is ready? I'd probably suggest to order from another place. Great food..service could be better with better communication. Sorry! read more

Management is clearly non existent at this location.. my sister placed an order around 5:30 via their website and when I got here at 6 the girl behind the counter had informed me that her order wasn't placed although her card was obviously charged and received an email confirmation.. aside from their websites inability to communicate the order to this specific location, the poor girl behind the counter was clearly inundated w orders and phone calls and 7 ppl patiently waiting for their food to come out... after all was said I finally got the order around 6:30 (an hr later) ...management needs to be there helping expedite so she can answer the phones and someone needs to call IT or their web developer to fix their online issue... food is great but they need to get their $hit together read more

The food here is amazing. I decided to order here because it looked like they had the Korean flavors I was craving and man!!! I was not disappointed. The Japchae and the crisp on their chicken, I have never experienced that before so addictive. I ordered two days in a row the next day we had sliders the beef tacos(they were stuffed!) and more Japchae. I have to try the potstickers pork buns and shumai. Hell I am going to try the whole menu!! My new Favorite spot. I also ordered thru door dash so I didn't mind the wait about 35mins each time. read more

BonChon...a Korean Chicken/Restaurant chain that is all over the world. I'm a big fan of chicken, and I could eat their wings for days. However, in terms of my experience today at the restaurant, I would have to give it an "A-OK." The greeters are very nice and generous (shout out to them!), however, I feel that the kitchen staff need to be organized in giving times to the front in regards to how long the food will take. Korean chicken is an art, such it will take about 45 minutes to properly cook the chicken. However, when communication between the back and front are misaligned, this does create an environment for pretty frustrated customers who come up and complain about how long their wait is. However, they're still new, kinks are to be expected, I'm sure their process will get much better as they learn! With my experience, I decided to order the Bulgogi Fried Rice, and I added a little bibimbap sauce to the mix. That made it for a pretty decent dish. It was definitely not the best I have had though in my life, but still pretty damn good. I'm just glad that this BonChon has a more extensive menu than other BonChons in the North Jersey area. Overall, I would come back for their wings, only if I am not in a rush, haha. Though, there are better BonChon locations in North Jersey, but, hey, they just opened. I'd say give it a few months to figure out a more efficient workflow and process to their ordering, and I'd say you got an awesome Korean chicken place in an Italian town! Makes for a nice mix right? I seriously wonder what Korean Italian babies would be like, maybe this is it? read more

Truly the Best best fried chicken I even had in my life. At this location, service is constantly quick and the food is always so fresh and delicious. I always order combo with soy garlic sauce and soy garlic fried rice. I tried Korean taco spicy chicken yesterday. It was a little spicy for me but was still very good. If you have never had their fried chicken before, it differs from any other fried chicken. Love love coming to this location !!! read more

Tried it for the first time. Ordered the chicken sliders and the ribeye tacos. Both were delicious and the right amount of spice and sweetness. Highly recomend it. read more

Bonchon Nutley - Chicken Wings Near Me - Nutley, New Jersey

I can't believe what just happened. I ordered the seasoned fries which comes with spicy mayo and a small 1/2 chicken strips spicy and soy. I asked for the spicy mayo and so glad I did because even though it said it comes with she didn't put it in the bag. Then I get home and the radish they serve with all chicken orders she didn't put it in! OMG I'm pissed! I call what dues the girl tell me oh I'm sorry but not everybody eats that. I said ok so then don't you think you should ask instead of just not putting it in the bag. When it's listed on the menu she decided to make the decision for me. Now I'm having my strips with NO radish! make sure you check you order before leaving because you might have a not so pleasant surprise! read more

So here's a funny one! Currently at Bon chin Korean fried chicken second time here actually, first time no hiccups everything was great slow day during the week, today is Saturday so I expected service may be a little slower no biggie. I place my order sat down with my family after me comes about 4 different orders some made by Asian people we all ordered practically what this place is known for fried chicken! After waiting about 40 mins and everyone else that came behind me received there order the waitress comes up to my table and says sorry they are making your order now the print machine that prints the order receipts doesn't work that good in the back, all along I am looking at several other tables that have the exact same order as mine only difference I am not Asian! Funny food for thought I guess! read more

Food is good, a little expensive perhaps. And prepare to wait a long time if you pickup your order. They said 20 mins. But it took 40 mins., even more. They seem to prioritize dine in orders. If it can't be picked up in 20 mins.just say so. read more
