    Parking can be rough so we had to park two streets down and walk over. The store is nice and big and there's plenty of tables. There weren't too many other customers when we ate so service was super quick. Ordered the bulgogi fries, sotteok sotteok, mixed chicken, boneless chicken, tteokbuki. Everything was delicious. The bulgogi fries are a must. Fries were super crispy on the outside and loaded. The tteokbuki was very basic and nothing special to it. Their chicken is nice and crispy and moist inside. Their sauces are delicious as well. I liked the yangyeom the best.

    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

    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.

    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!

    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!)

    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.

Unfortunately, the beef tongue was the biggest letdown of the night. It was dry and seemed like it wasn't very fresh. However, the ribeye, beef short rib, and rib fingers were all good and ended up being my favorite meats of the evening. The biggest issue was the service. We came on a busy Saturday night, and while I understand weekends get hectic, the service was painfully slow. Our server never seemed to be in much of a rush, even with a packed restaurant. Since you're only allowed to order 4 plates of meat at a time, the long waits between rounds meant we spent more time waiting than eating. We also had to ask twice for a grill change, and it still took a long time before he actually returned with a grill change. By the time our next round of meat arrived, we were already getting full, which really took away from the all-you-can-eat experience. What made this visit even more disappointing is that I've eaten here before, and it used to be one of my favorite KBBQ spots. I celebrated my birthday here last year, and it was hands down one of the best KBBQ meals I've had. This visit just didn't come close to that experience. I'm hoping this was just an off night. I know Buga is capable of much better, but based on this experience, I can only give it 3 stars.

Fries were soggy and beef and fried chicken thigh pieces were both on the fattier end. Not worth the price. Needed sour cream or guacamole. Cosmic Crunch Shrimp $12 - 4 very small shrimp that tasted pretty oily. Skip this. Yeosu Bliss $14 - a very raspberry forward drink. Overall it was just okay but the flavor profile just wasn't our thing.

    After a solo beach day, I was craving kbbq for 1. Luckily I remembered that SongHak offers half…read moreorders for kbbq. Every time I come here around evening/night time, the restaurant is pretty empty. Not sure why cos the food here is so good, the staff is nice, and the restaurant itself is clean. The parking in this plaza is a bit limited but I always tend to find a spot. For me and me only, I got a half order of wagyu beef belly with galbi sauce and a half order of prime beef tongue. The amazing waitress and I sparked a conversation while she grilled my meat. She was so awesome. The beef belly was so tender, but beef tongue was my personal favorite! So delicious especially with the sliced onion banchan. I'll definitely be back in the future!

    I'm surprised there aren't more people here whenever we come back to dine in! This spot is a gem…read moreand has amazing quality of meat that AYCE spots don't have! - PARKING - Quite challenging in this busy but small lot! - SERVICE/ENVIRONMENT - Always attentive, and because they cook for you here, it's easy to enjoy your meal and not worry about the grill. There are several tables for BBQ, and the other tables can be used for regular dining or they can bring out the hot pot burner stove! Lots of space for large or small parties! - FOOD - We love the combo meals as it's the easiest to pick from and get a variety of meats! We love the Jowl and Wagyu Beef Belly here the most! - OVERALL - A great spot for quality KBBQ!

    For Korean BBQ, Manna BBQ really sets the standard. The bar is high, and after the remodel the…read moreentire place feels refreshed without losing what made it great in the first place. The updated decor looks clean, modern, and welcoming. What always stands out to me is the service. The staff is incredibly attentive and efficient without making it feel forced. Water gets refilled constantly, grills are swapped out before they get too burnt up, and food comes out quickly after ordering. It keeps the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. The quality of the food is also consistently solid. Everything tastes fresh, the marinades are flavorful without being overwhelming, and portions are fair. I also appreciate that they're accommodating with portion requests instead of making it complicated. Even the smaller details stand out here. Their sides are genuinely good, especially the steamed egg and rice paper. You can tell there's a difference in quality compared to a lot of other KBBQ spots. And ending the meal with the ice cream dessert option is just a nice touch that rounds everything out perfectly. Overall, it's just one of those places that consistently delivers a really good experience every time I go.

    MANNA HEAVEN BBQ @ CONVOY…read more Parking is available in two different lots since this Korean BBQ spot is right on the edge of the main driving area, you'll have to choose one or the other. I'd recommend parking near Ole BBQ or closer to the UTC area because that lot is much easier to navigate. There's also free street parking, which is a plus. This place doesn't take reservations or allow you to join the waitlist over the phone, so you'll need to go in person to put your name down. They'll text you when your table is ready, so you can walk around while you wait. My party of six waited about 45 minutes, but it honestly went by faster than expected. Once seated, they have a newer system where you order your meats and sides through a tablet, which made things super convenient. The service was solid, staff were friendly, attentive, and quick to clear empty plates. The quality of the meat was really good. I highly recommend the beef belly, and the corn cheese was a standout for me--I had like three plates of it because it was that good. Our group had a great time overall. They also offer free ice cream (chocolate, vanilla, and green tea) for all guests, which was a nice touch. The restaurant itself is clean, including the bathrooms, and the ambiance is great. Just be prepared, you will smell like Korean BBQ afterward. Overall, I'd definitely recommend stopping by!
