I was in town on business and looked up restaurants close to my hotel. This one popped up and was about five minutes from me. It is located in a small strip plaza and you just walk in to be seated. They are extremely busy with people seated to eat and to-go orders. When I arrived, someone was cleaning tables, taking payment, and delivering food to tables. This was all being done by the same person. He directed me to a table, gave me a menu, and brought me a glass of water with a straw. He was moving about the restaurant taking orders, cashing people out, cleaning tables, and delivering food the entire time I was there. He came to get my order after about ten minutes. I ordered the Seoul sampler with the soy garlic sauce on the chicken. I thoroughly enjoyed this meal. The chicken was cooked and seasoned to perfection. It was crunchy and flavorful. There was a lot of food too. I ended up taking some back to my hotel and eating it later. It was hard not going back to this restaurant during my stay, but I wanted to try different places. It took about fifteen minutes for my food to arrive at the table and bulgogi fries came out first on a separate plate. This sampler is a good representation of several of their menu items. I recommend getting it if you are new to this restaurant. I paid $46 after adding a tip. read more

Stopped by for a quick bite after workout and before my evening meeting. It was my 1st time at this location. The server was friendly but he was super busy because it seemed like he was the only server who was also taking care of to-go orders. The food was ready relatively fast. I was disappointed in the taste of it because a few pieces of the chicken were a little dry and some of them weren't the type of crunchy you would expect of Korean fried chicken. The restaurant is spacious and clean. read more

I've eaten food from Bonchon Roseville three times. Once a sit down meal at the restaurant and twice with Door Dash. The quality of the food at the restaurant is a five but the food suffers from slow delivery from Door Dash. I should've expected that but tried anyway. Left over chicken makes the best chicken salad sandwich ever! read more

Nothing was authentic Korean food in the restaurant. Bibimbap was served with chopped lettuce inside, and the scrambled eggs?! And not sure what kind of spicy sauce the store got mixed in, it tasted very black peppery. This dish is just too well- known, and you just can't miss it. Like the basically sauce would be gochujang. The fried chicken also very disappointing, ordered both Yangnyeom mix and chicken strips, the meat was tough, not fresh made, it's like reheated/refried, they also don't offer dipping sauce any real Korean fried chicken dipping sauce. Very disappointing. read more

Bonchon Roseville - Korean Near Me - Roseville, Minnesota

We used to visit this location once or twice a week when it first opened and were always impressed with the food and service. Unfortunately, over time, both seem to have declined. During our last few visits, the wings were just okay. The batter was noticeably thicker than it used to be, which took away from the flavor and texture we had originally enjoyed. We assumed those visits might have just been off days and decided to give it another chance. This past week, we stopped in specifically for wings and also wanted to try the Korean donut and sweet potato fries. The restaurant was not busy--we were one of only four tables--but the food still took quite a while to arrive. When it did, both the donut and sweet potato fries appeared over-fried. The donut was very dark and looked nothing like the photos. When I asked our server if it was supposed to look that way, he didn't think anything was wrong with it but offered to replace it if we wanted. We accepted, and the replacement looked much better, although it was missing the sugar topping shown on the menu. At that point, I didn't bother mentioning it or the over-fried sweet potato fries. The wings were decent, but once again the batter was much heavier than what we remembered from our earlier visits. After several disappointing experiences, my family decided this would be our last visit to this location. We've never had any issues at the Mall of America location, but unfortunately the Roseville restaurant has not maintained the same quality that originally made us regular customers. read more

Korean cuisine is having quite a moment, and I'm eating it up - literally - so I was thrilled when several of my curious Caucasian friends suggested meeting at Bonchon for a session of Korean Food 101. The interior was bright and open. The attendants were friendly, but often either forgot things or were simply too busy between all the occupied tables. We ordered *so* much food. Our table was covered in bright white plates and bowls with so many colorful savory-sweet delights. Unfortunately, the chicken was dry, overcooked to a rubbery chew. The tteokbokki had a commercial sweetness to it, which tracked, given that this was a massive chain. I love ordering bao buns, but these were subpar to the point of being everyone's least favorite addition to the table. The intention behind the sauces and the overall idea of the tteokbokki were what everyone loved most. Looking forward to introducing everyone to a more authentic Korean experience, though we all did agree that this was a nice light intro to the cuisine. read more

I'm a big fan of Bonchon, but the wait here was incredibly long. The couple next to us, who arrived after we did and ordered the exact same thing, got their food first. We literally sat for almost an hour just talking before our food finally arrived. It's just another Bonchon, but the service really needs to work on its timing. read more

Empty plate says it all. Potstickers were phenomenal. The strips were amazing. So good. The sauce is good but not overpowering. The chicken is crispy and the seasoned fries were very good. Now I need to figure out how to get this food out of my system, if you know what I mean. BonChow! read more

Everything here is really bland. The pickled radish, the chicken, the street corn. None of the dishes had the Korean flavors I'm used to. I've eaten bonchon three times and each time I've regretted coming here...maybe I keep ordering the same thing, that's why? I get the Korean bbq flavor...definitely not what I was craving. And it's so weird that they don't give you rice complimentary. Posting this as a reminder to not order the same thing again. The service has been good though and the food came out quickly and parking is easy. Hence the three stars read more

After seeing the Stray Kids movie in IMAX across the street I had to get some Korean food. We got the pork potstickers with yangnyeom sauce. Kimchi & fried rice. Also got the Korean corn dogs with the bimimbap sauce. Loved that it all had the perfect level of spice. It was so convenient to order for pick up! It was all heavenly!! Definitely will eat here again and recommend to anyone!! read more

I unfortunately didn't take a picture of my food as I did take out and then went straight to eating but WOWW! We've had people tell us about their fried chicken and finally gave it a try. I'm super bummed I didn't come to this place as soon as it opened in Roseville because I've been missing out . Parking was very easy as they have it right in front and to place a take out order it was pretty quick. I did half and half of sauces for chicken wings which were super flavorful and had a side of kimchi which was perfect to accompany the meal and a side of fried rice plain. Service was great and food was perfect. Next time I'll be dinning in for sure ! read more

Bonchon Roseville - Indoor - Korean Near Me - Roseville, Minnesota

This is a highly busy location, and for a reason. Their food in consistently great and has become our go-to location to bring first-timers to. Their fried chicken is extra crispy and full of flavor. Being Minnesotan, I like their soy garlic best as the hot and spicy is wonderfully flavorful but too spicy for me. We have tried nearly everything on the menu. Our least favorite (although still wonderful) were the boneless wings. The potstickers are amazing. Try the sticky buns too! You will enjoy them! The bowls are great and full of flavor...and the tacos! You HAVE to try the tacos!!! The staff are wonderful and remember our drink orders from our frequent visits. We love this place and hope you do too! The store is always clean and even though you may have to wait a little bit due to the number of customers in the store....it is worth the wait! read more

I went to the location in Roseville for the first time today (I usually go to the one in Maple Grove) and the food was nowhere near as good. Some items were fried for a little too, and there seemed to be no communication between the servers.What was most disappointing was that I ordered take out food to bring home to my boyfriend and the "chicken strips" i got were nuggets overcooked and dry. It's like I got the leftovers of the frying basket. I always order this item for my boyfriend so I know what to expect. Will be a loyal costumer to the Maple Grove store. read more

Been craving tteokbokki so we decided to try out this place. The vibe was very casual and the servers were super nice and quick with ours and others needs. The food didn't take too long to come out and came out steaming hot! My bf tried pork belly bao buns for the first time and loved how the combination of the fluffy bun went with the crispy pork belly. I absolutely loved my tteokbokki and it was nice and spicy to my liking (: We also shared the Bulgogi Fries and it was delicious but I think I'll ask for extra spicy mayo next time, but that's just my preference! You get pretty big portions for what you order and not too badly priced with the entire experience as well, definitely one of my comfort food go to from now on read more

Delicious and fresh every time! I've tried a little of everything and have not been disappointed. Staff is very friendly too.

The BEST place!! This is such a comfort food place. There is tons and seating and the service is incredibly quick. They had our food out in under 10 minutes. My favorite item is the steamed buns-the meat is so perfectly crispy and juice, and sweet and savory at the same time!! The ambiance is low lighting, so it's easy on the eyes!

I placed an order through Bonchon's own website, which gave me a pickup time of 1:22 PM, and received my food at 2:17. What's more my fries were dead cold from the first moment; they tasted like they sat under the heat lamp for a good half the time. Bad service, long wait, cold food. read more

I LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS LOCATION. It is my go to and forever will be, there's a manager there that shows he loves what he does and takes care of guests. Food is also incredible here they never miss to impress my taste buds !! Very attentive and kind services from this location. :)))) read more

Another one of the Bonchons in the Twin Cities. All are pretty much identical. The lunch specials are good. The drummies and drumsticks are spicy and tasty. The Dolsot bibimbop is good, get it without lettuce. The bowl could be a little hotter so that it will make the rice more crispy. This is the real KFC, Korean Fried Chicken! read more

I LOVE Bonchon. I do feel like some locations are better than others and this one is one of the better ones. Staff are are always cool, friendly and attentive! I will stay sometimes they can do a better job cleaning between tables like there's times the seats are a mess with food crumbs & a bit sticky but otherwise it's okay. We almost always order the wings half/half (half soy garlic, half spicy), side of coleslaw, seasoned fries and fried rice. The soy garlic wings are my favorite but I love spicy as well! The chicken comes out hot and super crispy! The coleslaw isn't anything special but it goes well with the chicken. The fries are breaded, crispy & seasoned well. I recommend Bonchon for Korean Fried Chicken! read more

Finally stopped in an was surprised. Very clean modern atmosphere. Some booths, lots of small table tops and a bar. TV's were all playing different cooking videos which was fun. Staff was very friendly. Still got my food togo. Wait was 15-20 for wings. Unexpected, but fine. Spicy wasn't as spicy as previous review. Not sure if that's me or them, but it was great and the flavor was great. I ordered too many and put some in the fridge. Even after 3 hrs the wings were still crispy! Going here next date night to try other menu items. read more

I headed here at the request of my 9yo kiddo who is a chicken connoisseur. She loves the chicken here at Bonchon and she is never wrong. Unfortunately, this kid is also super picky so when we asked to have a couple pieces without sauce they said they couldn't. I ended up getting plain and Korean BBQ. I would have like to have had gotten the Soy Garlic too as a sauce on the side or on the other half except a few pieces but that wasn't an option. Despite that the chicken was tasty, crispy, yet moist inside - so good! We also order the Bulgogi fries which were delish and an order of Japchae also completely approved. The restaurant is clean and open. The staff is nice and attentive. We'll be headed there again for sure read more

the chicken katsu was so bomb, got it as a pickup order through doordash, was on time, hot, and fresh.

I've had this place on my "to try" list for quite sometime and finally tried it for dinner the other night. Pros: Online ordering Family meal package option Friendly service Easy parking lot Cons: Pricey Food ordered: Family meal with two sides- fries and white rice. Extra side of fried rice. The fried rice reminded me of something I might pick up at a Cub foods. Didn't taste like the fried rice I am used to. Chicken was okay- I wasn't wowed by it and to me it didn't have a ton of flavor. Coleslaw was okay- but nothing wow. I guess I just missed the wow and flavor factor. For the price, I wanted to be able to say that I would definitely go back. Good place to try, just didn't hit home for me. Wonderful service though. read more

Truly great that there's a Bonchon nearby. When I lived in Korea I would go to them now and then, and it's nice to have them close by. The seasoned fries are delicious, as too are the pork sliders. read more

Can never go wrong with Bonchon. Their food is always delicious and comes out fresh! They have a big menu with lots of selection--I was surprised to see that they have other items besides wings and side dishes. There is a seating area if you do want to dine in but do note that it's busy during the evening hours. The restaurant is clean. The staff are attentive and super friendly. read more

KFC chicken is amateur hour compared to Bonchon. You can't deny the crunch and juiciness on a good piece of Korean fried chicken. I especially appreciate as spice wimp I got just the level of heat I was looking for. Don't even get me started on the Katsu sauce. read more

First time my hubby took me here - the manager took our order, brought our food out and was very personable! I may have over ordered (is there such a thing?) BUT the leftovers were great also! Hubby usually orders the wings and I go for the drummies. I had no idea of the size the drummies were going to be! Holy Hellen - they're huge! This time I did not over order but that would have been okay because even reheating the drummies - they're still so crispy! You definitely get the best bang for your buck here!!! Would 10/10 recommend and anytime we are in the area we make a point to stop in! read more

Food is always good, however if you're going to order online, expect it to be ready 15 minutes after the given pickup time. 4/5 times I'm usually stuck waiting at the restaurant for an additional 10-20 minutes waiting for my pickup order when I arrive at the given pickup time. It's prevented me from wanting to order here in the future. read more

Maybe we ordered wrong...but except for the hotness on the chicken, my spicy chicken bibimbap was kind of bland. There weren't salt and pepper shakers at the table but one of the other people in our party had a little salt packet that helped a bit. A dining companion who didn't have a tolerance for spice ordered bulgogi--something that I think of as really flavorful--but it, too, lacked seasoning. He asked for soysauce and said that made it a little better but none of us were impressed with our food. Maybe we need to get the fried chicken next time...if there is one. Service was friendly; however, the rest of us had our entrees a full ten minutes before the guy with the bulgogi got his food. read more

The food was phenomenal! I ordered the chicken katsu and it was full of flavor, juicy on the inside and crunchy on the outside! The service is always top notch!

I just love eating here one of my top 3 places to eat! read more

The chicken here was fairly dry and lacked sauce. Although it had a decent texture outside and crunch, the inside was slimy and felt old and/or expired. The service was alright, best if you like eating in bar settings. They play various sports on the TVs behind the counter top. There are some booths and high tops for variety in seating. The food arrived very quickly although there was almost nobody in the restaurant so there's no good indication of wait time. I enjoy Korean food and have had great meals from Bon Chon before, but this location is very mediocre and I wouldn't recommend it, I will not be returning. read more

Bonchon Roseville - Boneless 36 piece. - Korean Near Me - Roseville, Minnesota

My partner and I have been big fans of Bonchon ever since visiting the Maple Grove location in Arbor Lakes. The chicken there is incredible, it's crunchy and adequately spicy, and the staff is great. This location however was a letdown. Firstly, the flavor of the chicken was completely different than the other location, most likely due to the difference in cooks. The flavor was lacking body and had an almost burnt taste. It didn't help that it was lacking sauce, something I immediately noticed. Next, the texture was off. It had a very thick, flour breading. The batter would do better with more panko included. They tasted like chicken strips I could have gotten at the grocery store and made at home. The chicken was slimy on the inside and tasted old/expired. The staff was mediocre at best, poured water when needed. On top of all of this, the establishment was blasting 2016 Charlie Puth the entire time. Would overall not recommend this place to others. Will not be returning. read more

TLDR; Just go and eat here! Was running ragged doing Labor Day shopping, on the verge of being hangry when I suddenly spotted this place while at a stop light. My husband (particularly critical of the restaurant scene, hard to please), our kid (indecisive, moody teen), and I (completely normal) waltzed in and were greeted promptly by a beautiful waiter. The restaurant is very clean, spacious, laid-back and cozy. We chose to dine in and were seated, given menus and drink orders were taken. Seamlessly done within the span of mere minutes. The menu is limited to a few popular and safe Korean dishes, easy to read, has pictures and descriptions of the food items, and I found it pleasant to not be overwhelmed by endless choices (as is the norm when in a typical Korean restaurant, imo). What we ordered: Japchae - I LOVE japchae and this was made perfectly. The mushrooms, the bell peppers, the spinach, the beef, the glass noodles! What's not to love? I was in heaven. One of my ultimate comfort foods. Chicken Katsu - We're more used to pork katsu but this was very tasty and the chicken was surprisingly moist. Huge serving over rice and I was happy to see the kid inhale half of it. Small fried chicken combo - We did the half and half (soy garlic & spicy). The main reason the kid only ate half of their chicken katsu was because they were also inhaling the fried chicken and mumbling about how good it was. Lots of compliments from both the kid and husband about this dish. I knew Korean fried chicken was something special, something transcending KFC/Popeyes/American fried chicken, and this was proof. Amazing, amazing deliciousness. Covered in glaze but still crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. Loved the two flavors too. The spicy is quite bearable (2-3/10 imo), stays on the tongue, pleasant build up and doesn't overwhelm the rest of the flavors. Takoyaki - Love. This. Many restaurants can't make this right--oftentimes the interior is too undercooked and all I can taste is liquid batter. They cooked this very well here and it was very tasty, and there were several pieces of delicious octopus in each ball. I took some home and they were still so delicious after getting cold. Bulgogi sliders - The picky husband loved this. He asked to hold the coleslaw on the side, thinking it would be better without, but ended up adding the coleslaw to it. The crunchy freshness of the cucumber and coleslaw played really, really well with the beef and spicy mayo. Received cubed, picked radish as a side to the fried chicken. This is probably the only thing the kid didn't like, but I'm someone who lives for banchan (small Korean side dishes) and I enjoyed it. The owner (I think that's who he was?) came around and checked in on everyone (literally everyone, even those patrons just picking up an order) with a kindness and energetic exuberance that blindsided me. Him getting us water and more drinks while making light banter was the icing on the cake, and it really made us feel welcome. Early on, I had noted in my mind that if I had to find anything that was "meh" about this place, it would be the semi-loud music as it was difficult to hear the waiter and even my table mates (plus I like to eavesdrop on your conversation, yes you)... but that issue resolved itself shortly after that thought without my mentioning. So now if I HAD to find something "meh"... perhaps the size of the diced pickled radish? Really? Bathroom was pleasant and clean. I liked the scented diffusers and candlelight in the mens restroom (womens were occupied by a noisy, defiant little kid and their exhausted mother, whom I sympathized with but didn't bother to wait for). Clean and bright, well decorated establishment, wonderful staff, AMAZING food. I've been to too many MN restaurants (overhyped, hipster, gastropubs, etc you name it) over the last couple of years and I have often left disappointed or just plain irritated at the food and service. I'm so effing tired of this and I'm glad many of those restaurants are now gone. This realization only came after I noticed how much I enjoyed the food and dining experience here at Bonchon--it's been a long time since I had such a positive reaction to a restaurant in MN. My husband who has been in the restaurant business from the front of the house to the back and is always critical (call it sensitive) about every aspect of it had only good things to say, and that speaks volumes. Five stars to this awesome restaurant and their staff and food. read more
