    Came here for lunch and ordered the Pork Belly Bao Buns. It comes in a set of three baos. The bao buns were pretty good with the pork belly, cucumbers, spicy mayo, coleslaw, and the katsu sauce. The pork belly wasn't dry at all.

    I unfortunately did not have a good experience eating here, which is a shame because the food was decent. I went to a Bonchon location in Socal only a few weeks ago and had an amazing experience with good food that I thought I would try out this spot. The food was not as good as the first time I tried it, with some of the wings being barely coated with any sauce (what it's known for). But the food is not the reason for a one star (I would say it's about three stars); I had an absolutely uncomfortable experience towards the end where my friend I was eating with (who paid) was berated by what seems to be the owner of this location (was an elderly lady-not even a person who we interacted with!). We were given the check and paid, but this must have not satisfied the lady because she confronted us in front of everyone and watched as the person who paid signed the receipt. You would think we tried to walk out without paying the way we were treated! To take the check to see if they were tipped before we were even done eating, to then being confronted and then being watched as we are signing the receipt, to then being questioned with our choice to leave a tip. Completely unprofessional and left a bad taste in my mouth. Ruined the entire experience and made me regret even choosing to come here. I will not be back. Bonchon needs to create uniformity across franchises because this was absolutely uncalled for. The other location we visited was a pleasant fast food experience and I think this location is unaware of what they are-which is a glorified Wingstop. Would not recommend Adding a picture of the chicken strips we were given versus the ones they advertise. It about sums up the dining experience

    Classic yummy korean chicken! Love the soy garlic and we got some parmesan fries on the side! Service was quick for us and staff was super friendly :) Honestly very reasonable price for what you get as well

    Fried rice with bulgogi
    Jacquie H.

    Bulgogi is a food that I just get random cravings for. I was in the area because I had a go-to place nearby that closed down, so I took a little browse on our trusty Yelp app and found Bonchon across the parking lot. I got the bulgogi that comes with white rice ($22), and my husband got the fried rice with bulgogi ($18). Bummed I didn't get the japchae with bulgogi, but definitely a reason I need to return. The food had great flavors, and the texture of the beef was soft. The only downside I would say is the amount of food for the price is a little ehh. I understand beef tends to run higher in price, but when I go out to eat I get a little sad if I get a small portion of good food.

    These people are super friendly and get our order ready within 15 minutes every time we come. They suggested to try the spicy flavor and split our drumstick order in half with the soy garlic flavor. The drumsticks are always yummy and freshly prepared.

    The most delicious Korean fried chicken burger with Yangnyeom sauce! This is our all time favorite here along with their Bulgogi Bibimbap. The BEST! Portion sizes are not huge. Staff is always courteous and attentive. Ambience is chill and relaxed. Definitely coming back here for more!!

    Tteokbokki

    Haven't had bonchon in a while and decided to come by yesterday for lunch. The wings were tasty and crunchy, just like how I remembered! The yangyum was super flavorful! Sweet and has a kick to it. The soy garlic is a staple and was delicious! I find that the wings have more flavor but the drums are crunchier and have more meat to it. I like the chewiness of the rice cakes in the tteokbokki, paired with the ooey gooey cheese when you pull it. Overall I would come back for the soy garlic/yangyum wings again whenever I'm craving korean fried chicken again.

    We were very hungry after the outlets and decided to check out this place next door, Bonchon. On first looks I wasn't very keen. This place feels and looks very clinical, low quality chain fast food like. The staff were all over the place and off the bat happen to forget one of our waters. They didn't even bring us waters when we sat and we had to request it along with the menus? Also felt like they were short staffed. When ordering, as a pescetarian I looked at the menu and there was basically nothing without meat. For those of dietary restrictions, there are no options. After scouring the menu a few times, finally settled upon the shrimp fried rice. It came as a very small portion, probably the size of my hand, for a whopping $17!? It was greasy and over seasoned. Barely any shrimp, don't how how they can even advertise it as a shrimp fried rice when I can count the number of shrimp on my hand. Bunches of rice clumped together and some undercooked. We will not be coming back, and will tell others not to either. UPDATE: Had a very upset stomach that night.

    Seoul Sampler: Bulgogi Fries, Coleslaw, garlic soy wings, Potstickers, corn
    Kaela N.

    Bonchon for dinner and we got the sampler that was a good appetizer to share-- generous amount of bulgogi fries and soy garlic wings were the favorite of all the flavored wings. Bulgogi bimbimbap was good but not outstanding. I preferred the bulgogi fries. The half order of wings were perfectly coated and had a crunch. Although, the dry rub seasoning was not noticeable. Next time I will order all soy garlic. Plenty of seating indoors and no outdoor seating. Service was great.

    Definitely one of my favorite places to go to when I'm craving some good fried chicken!

    Medium mixed fried chicken. This is so good!
    Eugene Y.

    This Korean fried chicken is so good with the spicy sauce! Never been here before, but I'll definitely be back. The owner came over to me and made sure I was happy. The food was tasty, the owner's attention Was great and the ambiance was clean and appeasing. Great stuff Bonchon!! Keep it up.

    Is there spicy chicken the same as their sweet chili? Or they don't have the sweet chili anymore?

    Are they open for indoor dining?

    Yes they are.

    What time do they close today?

    They usually close at 7:30 when it was pick up only. But most restaurants opened their dining this week. You can call them. Sorry about that.

    Enormous pieces with lots of sauce!…read more Ttobongee is your typical order to-go Korean chicken joint. There isn't much searing and they don't really have table service. My friends and I ended up sitting and eating since we didn't check beforehand. The portions are huge! It was a bit funny because one of the plates had a regular sized chicken drumstick hidden under all of the plumped up ones. While the sauces were great, I personally liked the Yangnyum the best! It had a sweet, tangy flavor to it. It's a small chicken shop great for to-go meals. Despite this, they still kept it clean and bright inside. Recommend for those looking for something to takeout!

    They have good ol' school yangnyeum (sweet/spicy) flavor I grew up with in Korea!…read more I ordered online since I saw that it would take 20-25 minutes, according to the online platform. It was perfect timing and they graciously allowed me to switch to dining in. There are 4 tables inside so it is a bit cozy but they have a setup convenient for immersive but messy chicken eating - such as, disposable gloves and a mini-trash can. I would have dined in their shaded patio but it was getting chilly out. When I wrapped the rest of my chicken after my fill, they added an extra radish pack which I appreciated! I did notice another party who mentioned their chicken was too bland. I wasn't sure which flavor(s) they ordered, but after experiencing that their yangnyeum flavor is what I consider "OG" (more subtle, not overly sweet/spicy) I can understand. At the same time, I think this is the charm of this place that I do find most other Korean franchises try to match the current "trendy" palate that is sometimes too much for me. Thanks ttobongee for sticking with the traditional yangnyeum - really hard to come by now, especially here in the States.

As this one had a unique vibe to it with its design and interior. When it comes to service that's where it could be improved. When we went it wasn't too busy but it seemed to take our waitress longer than it should've to get us refills on our drinks. Or to get our food when we were waiting for our meals. It also seemed to take longer than it should've for us to be seated too even though again the place was not very busy. The other criticism is the layout of the TVs as they're kind of placed at random which can make it frustrating to watch any game that is on. In the end, this is a decent location to visit and get lunch at. But it still has room for improvement.
