    I've visited multiple locations, and this one stands out because it stays open later than most. They also offer a great Monday and Tuesday special with $1 wings. We ordered the drumsticks, which were perfectly crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The sauces added flavor without being overpowering, One of my favorites is still the bulgogi fries--they're consistently delicious and always a must-order. Overall, a great spot for late-night cravings, tasty wings, and satisfying shareable dishes.

    10 piece wings flats + drumettes
    Sarah S.

    Tried Bonchon on Conway Street for the first time and it definitely lived up to the hype! Our waitress recommended the wings, so I ordered the 10-piece wings and drumettes with two flavors: soy garlic and Yangnyeom. Both were absolutely delicious, super crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and a really good amount of chicken on the order. The soy garlic had the perfect savory flavor, and the Yangnyeom brought a great spicy kick. I also got a side of white rice with the meal which balanced out the spice perfectly. Overall, a 10/10 experience and I'll definitely be back! UPDATE - I went back again the next day for the same order

    K-Chicken Sandwich

    Tucked away in a small strip mall, this spot can be a bit tricky when it comes to parking. Inside, there's plenty of seating, but you'll need to wait to be seated, which feels a little out of place for such a casual setting. The experience might run more smoothly if they offered counter ordering with open seating. As for the food, it's solid but not particularly memorable. The fries are your standard seasoned beer-battered style--crispy, but lacking originality. The chicken sandwich had good flavor and was the highlight of the meal, though it wasn't enough to truly stand out overall. In the end, it's a decent option, but not one that strongly pulls me back for another visit.

    One of my favorite spots for a quick meal when you don't want to spend a lot of money. I've been coming here for their Monday/Tuesday $1 wing deals and $2 Sapporo happy hour. The vibes in here are great, with friendly, quick service as well as a lively ambience with upbeat music. There are many flavors to choose from and I tend to stick with the yangnyeom flavor, which combines sweet, savory, and spicy Korean taste into a sauce. Their wings are very crispy and tender. We also got the bulgogi fries and potstickers, which offered a nice contrast with its soft filling. The best part of the fries was the spicy/creamy mayo that paired well with the savory bulgogi.

    The Monday and Tuesday $1 wings is so awesome. There's a 15 wing limit, but that's more than enough. That being said, the wings were so good. I felt like the skin stayed crispy despite the sauciness of the wings. And I'm not going to lie, the french fries hit HAHA. We came in kind of late, so I appreciate the quick service and good service at that, despite us being there until just before closing. There's lots of seating inside and the vibe is very chill. Whether you're there hanging out, watching the game, or just catching up with friends. A great place to eat.

    The whole ass meal

    Convoy has no shortage of great food, but this spot definitely earned a return visit from me. We came across their dine-in combo deal for $40 that includes wings, bites, and a dish, and honestly it felt like a steal for the amount of food we got. The wings came tossed in soy garlic and they were fantastic. Korean fried chicken just crisps differently and this place nailed it. Perfect crunch on the outside and juicy inside. Something about that style of fry just hits. For the bites we chose potstickers, and they actually let us toss them in one of the wing sauces which was such a cool way to try another flavor. We went with yangnyeom and it had a really nice kick. I love spicy food so that was a pleasant surprise. I ended up dipping my soy garlic wings into the extra yangnyeom sauce from the potstickers and wow... that combo was incredible. The wings also came with coleslaw which balanced out all the fried goodness perfectly. They even give you a bucket for your chicken bones, which is such a small but thoughtful touch that keeps the table clean. Our dish was Japchae, which was a great addition to round out the meal. Service was also on point. The wings came out hot and crispy, and they even gave us wipes with the check which was super appreciated after demolishing a pile of wings. Overall this was a fantastic meal and a great deal. Easy 5 stars and I can't wait to come back.

    With shrinkflation robbing us daily and everything costing an arm and a leg, hearing about $1 wings felt unreal. The deal is dine in only, max 15 wings per person, and only on Mondays and Tuesdays. Bonchon is located in the Convoy Pointe Plaza and that parking lot is a nightmare. We went on a Monday around 7PM and the lot was completely full. People were parking a couple blocks away and walking. After circling for about 20 minutes we finally found a spot. Inside, it was vibrant and packed. We were lucky enough to grab the last open table. The party behind us waited about 10 more minutes, so expect a little wait. We were handed menus right away, but for the next 20 minutes no one came by. No water, no drink order, nothing. On a busy promo night I get that amazing service is hard, but a little attentiveness would have been nice. $1 wing deal. The flavors included Soy Garlic, Spicy, Yangnyeom, Korean BBQ, and Classic Crunch. I ordered 5 Classic Crunch wings with pickled radish and a side of spicy mayo. My partner got 10 wings, half Spicy and half Soy Garlic. We also ordered the sotteok sotteok for $2.99, which is a Korean street food skewer with chewy rice cakes and sausage coated in yangnyeom sauce. Our food came out about 15 minutes later and we finally got water. Everything smelled amazing. The wings overall were super crispy and held their sauce well. The soy garlic was my favorite. Balanced and flavorful. The spicy was extremely hot but still enjoyable if you can handle heat. The Classic Crunch had a great exterior but was way too salty. I was glad I ordered spicy mayo to balance it out. For $1 though, they are solid. Good meat, juicy inside, and fried well. The pickled radish was disappointing. It had the crunch, but it lacked that sharp acidic sweetness you usually expect. It tasted under brined and flat. The sotteok sotteok was pretty good. Chewy rice cakes, juicy sausage, and that garlicky yangnyeom sauce. I honestly wish I ordered another one. I can see myself coming back on Mondays or Tuesdays for the deal and the vibe, but probably not on a regular day. There are better wing spots, but for $1, it's hard to complain too much.

    This is Bonchon's OG location in the SD area as it opened in the Convoy Pointe Plaza Shopping Center several years ago. The internal corner suite they occupy is not the most optimal spot especially with the notoriously jammed parking lot. They used to have long lines for dining in, but now the tables were well spaced apart with less seating capacity. I think it's because most of their revenue was coming from takeout and third-party delivery orders. During my recent visit, just three other parties were seated. A special menu card listed a Bacon x Kimchi collaboration with three items. The regular menu featured Korean fried chicken in the form of wings, drumsticks, strips, and boneless with small, medium, and large quantities available. You choose a type, quantity, sauce, and small side for an order. A variety of Bonchon bites (appetizers) appeared on the other side of the menu. I selected the Bacon Kimchi Stir-Fry Udon from the special collab menu and a small (10 pc) order of soy garlic wings with pickled radishes. Both items arrived simultaneously after about a 15-minute preparation time. The first was made up of wheat noodles stir-fried with bacon, pork belly, kimchi, and onions. A soy garlic and spicy sauce was used to flavor the mix which had a mild heat level. The wings were hand battered, double fried, and hand brushed with the soy garlic sauce I picked. I recall that the wings were light and crunchy when I first tried them years ago. This time the batter seemed heavier and overcooked. I am uncertain if they changed their formula, but I wasn't as impressed as before. The fact that they charged less than two dollars per wing was positive and why I rounded my rating up to a four star level.

    Spicy on the bottle and Sweat Crispy on top

    Come here on Mondays or Tuesdays for $1 wings! It's a super good deal and the wings are Korean style deliciousness. They also have $5 draft Sapporo beers after 9pm. I think this special is everyday. The service is fast but they're super busy on wing special days. However they are bussin their butts to make sure you get your wings! There are TVs so you can enjoy your favorite sports while having wings. I recommend soy garlic for savory or Yangnyeom if you like some spice. Their other items are good, but just stay with the wings and you won't go wrong.

    My kids loved the bulgogi fries here! We intentionally came on a Monday so that it's cheaper. Mon and tues is 1$ wings. Otherwise korean chicken wings are just too expensive! We got the Korean, soy, fire, and the new flavor yangyeom. I think my favorite is fire but its not spicy at all. My kids opted for the korean feast. You get to choose 1 from each category. They chose 6 wings with 3 drum sticks, bulgogi fries, and the tteokbokki. They enjoyed all of it and its 40$ i think its a good deal. The inside is nice and big but their beer on tap tastes weird. The service was so great bc my server forgot my beer. I had to ask for it a second time. All in all, we will definitely come again!

    Angelica V.

    Love it here. Staff is always the nicest and honestly I think we've come so much on Tuesdays that they're starting to remember us. Got the $1 wings for the max amount and barely finished them but they were all delicious. We always come at a good time where it isn't busy and the food is always hot.

    30 piece soy garlic wings
    Lily Ann P.

    Hands down the best Korean chicken spot in San Diego: especially for their happy hour wing nights on Monday and Tuesday (dine-in)! The wings are perfectly crunchy, double-fried to golden perfection, and bursting with flavor. The soy garlic easily my favorite: savory, slightly sweet, and absolutely addictive. The ambience was just right: music at a comfortable level, lighting that gives a nice night-time vibe, and plenty of TVs showing different things. My husband and I didn't pay much attention to the screens though: we were too busy enjoying good conversation and amazing food. Our server, Michaela, made the experience even better. She took the time to ask our names, gave us rubber bands when our to-go container broke, and overall made us feel genuinely welcome: it felt like home. If you're looking for a go-to spot for Korean wings, this is it. Great food, great service, and a chill atmosphere that makes you want to come back every week (which we have apparently!)

    Lunch special Korean chicken strips
    Eric F.

    I stopped by to grab a quick lunch to go. The waitress greeted me and quickly took my order. The dining space is very open at this location. The chicken was delicious, cooked perfectly, and had a good amount of sauce. I recommend Bonchon in Convoy if your craving some good Korean fried chicken.

Since we live more than an hour away, we waited until we were already in the area. Two days ago, we finally stopped by. Unfortunately, our experience was disappointing. The first thing we noticed upon walking in was an unusual odor that wasn't very inviting. Since it wasn't their Sunday buffet day, we ordered à la carte: kare-kare, crispy pata, and chicken inasal. The service was good, food presentation was nice, and the dishes looked promising. However, the flavors did not meet our expectations. The kare-kare did not taste like traditional kare-kare, and the bagoong alamang was extremely salty with a very strong odor. The crispy pata had been chopped into pieces before frying, making it look and eat more like lechon kawali than the crispy pata we expected. As for the chicken inasal, it was far from the traditional version we're familiar with--it didn't even appear grilled and resembled chicken satay more than inasal. There were three of us dining, and all of us shared the same impressions of the food. Based on their advertising about serving food that's "as good as Nanay's," we came in with high expectations, but sadly, those expectations were not met. This was our first visit, and unfortunately, it will likely be our last. While others may have a different experience, we were not impressed with the food and would not make the drive back for another visit.

It's in a plaza with a ton of other restaurants, so just know parking can be a little chaotic. I went on a Wednesday around 5:30PM and still found parking pretty easily, but I can see it getting rough later. The place itself is on the smaller side, but they fit a good amount of seating. Every time I pass by it never looks super packed and even this time it wasn't that busy. I ordered ahead through their website, which was smooth, but when I walked in the cashier didn't see my order at first. I showed her my confirmation text, she checked with the kitchen and let me know it was still being prepared. She was super kind about it, so no issue there. I sat and waited and it ended up being around 20 minutes, which felt a little long for just two items, but not terrible. There was also a moment where a group came in and no one was at the front, so they asked me how ordering worked. We both just assumed you scan the QR code at the table and order from there, which probably explains why there isn't always someone upfront. A little confusing at first, but it is what it is. Once my food was ready, it was packaged really nicely. I had about a 25 minute drive home and everything stayed warm, which is honestly the best part about good takeout. Popcorn Chicken ($9.50) This might be the best popcorn chicken I've had in San Diego, especially for the price. You get big pieces, like actual chicken, not just fried coating. The seasoning is kind of addicting, a little sweet, a little salty, savory, with a slight kick. Super fragrant too with green onions mixed in. The sauce tasted like a cilantro jalapeño crema, almost taco vibes, which sounds random but it worked really well. And the shredded cabbage at the bottom soaking up all that extra seasoning... so good. Only thing is I wish some pieces were a little crispier and more golden, but still really really solid. Spicy Shrimp Wontons (8 pcs, $10.80) These come in a soy, vinegar, chili oil sauce that's super balanced. The wontons themselves are a bit smaller and don't have a ton of filling, so price-wise it's a little eh. But the sauce carries. After sitting in it during my drive home, I thought it would be too salty, but it actually soaked in perfectly. The color got darker and richer and the flavor still stayed balanced. Overall, this place is honestly solid. The menu isn't huge, more focused on noodles, dumplings, and apps, but based on what I had, they do it well. I'll definitely be back to try more, but that popcorn chicken alone is already enough reason to come back.

    Kingfisher serves some genuinely delicious food. The scallops were outstanding, the fried rice was…read moreflavorful, and the black cod was also excellent. The kitchen clearly knows how to prepare quality dishes, and the food is the reason I'm giving this restaurant 4 stars instead of less. That said, I deducted one star because of the location and overall environment. I chose Kingfisher because I was looking forward to Vietnamese cuisine, but when I arrived, my first impression was disappointing. Right by the entrance there was a strong urine smell, and because the restaurant has an open-air layout, it affected the dining experience. I also found myself concerned about the surrounding neighborhood and the overall setting. For me, a great restaurant is about more than just the food--it's also about feeling comfortable, relaxed, and enjoying the atmosphere. Even if a restaurant serves amazing food, the experience isn't complete if the location makes guests feel uneasy. I understand that Kingfisher has earned Michelin recognition, and the quality of the food certainly shows why. However, I hope the overall dining environment can improve because the talented kitchen deserves a setting that matches the excellent dishes they serve. I would gladly return if this establishment were located in a cleaner, more welcoming area without the homeless encampments nearby.
