Came here with my little ones for an early dinner after taking them to a funtrupolis. We usually order takeout when we eat at bon chon but decided to come here and eat the wings fresh. We ordered a 20 piece wings - soy garlic, sweet potatoes fries and kimchi cucumber. The wings came out fresh, crispy and juicy. There were a very pieces that were overly fried which is the reason I gave it 4 stars. The sweet potatoes fries were surprisingly very good. They were crispy, light and airy. The kimchi cucumber was standard - was expecting the quantity to be a little more but did the job. These wings are definitely a lot better when you eat them made to order (obviously). It was not very busy when we came but the service was great. He was attentive, refilled our waters multiple times and got our food out quickly as I let him know we were in a rush. This place and Vons are our goto places for Korean fried chicken. Def recommend coming here to eat! read more

One of the worst Bonchon I ever been to if you have tried other Bonchon places you can tell the difference. Customer service was good. This was my first time being here and ordered. 10 pc chicken wings and a plain tiny coleslaw the size of my pinky. The chicken wings had to much breading also dry and had patches of the sauce. Never again! Do not recommend this place. read more

It had been a long time since my last visit, and unfortunately, the experience wasn't what it used to be. For a weekend lunch, there was only one staff member working the entire floor. Because they were clearly understaffed, I was asked to sit at a different table while the waiter--who was very polite despite the stress--cleared up after a large party from an hour prior. We ordered the sampler. The food was just okay, but the Soy Garlic wings were quite salty (perhaps they're meant to be paired with a beer?). The most disappointing part was the restroom, which was dirty and clearly hadn't been checked in a while--another side effect of not having enough help. Overall, between the service hurdles and the food quality, I likely won't be coming back. read more

Bonchon San Jose - Blossom Hill Rd - Chicken Wings Near Me - San Jose, California

Nailed it! Exactly what Korean fried chicken should be. If you are looking for classic, perfectly executed Korean fried chicken, this Blossom Hill location is it. Every visit is totally satisfying. The sweet, crunchy breading combined with the tender chicken meat is exactly what you expect from a great spot. It's so good that even my daughters, who are usually light eaters, have no problem finishing 8 drums on their own. Highly recommend if you want the real deal! read more

I don't know why folks have reviewed this place so low. I've been coming here for 9 years straight. It's funny I've never reviewed them before but no more delay! They deserve a shout out! Food: is finger licking good and very very flavorful! They have a range of dishes to cater to both vegetarian and non vegetarian palates! Good spice range as per your tolerance! We love their drumsticks and wings, loaded fries and tacos and everything on the menu really! Over the decade, we've managed to have almost everything off of their menu and not once have been disappointed! That's got to mean something and that's why we keep coming back! :) Service: We were yet again served by gracious Connor. Service is great! No complaints at all. Always patience with kids at the table, ready to answer questions on menu especially on newly introduced items! Thank you! Sarah was great too - was happy to correct the spice on one of our dishes that kids had ordered. Thank you! Ambience: sports bar kinda vibes & chatty and good floor plan! Restroom:clean and kept well always! Parking: big lot so never been an issue! Very very open and available any time of the day! All in all, highly recommend! Will always come back and still have the same good things to say about them! Consistency is such a gem of a thing to find among restaurants and they are one of the few ones! :) So thank you! read more

Unfortunately, I wouldn't recommend this place if you are looking for delicious juicy fried chicken. Perhaps it was because I got this food delivered but my chicken was very dry and overcooked. The Soy Garlic and the Spicy Chicken both tasted pretty similar. Next time, I hope it will be better. The fried rice was delicious! The Kimchi was flavorful! And a PSA to anyone ordering, the chicken drumsticks are much meatier than the wings here! Soy Garlic Chicken: 6/10 Spicy Chicken Wings: 5/10 Kimchi: 8/10 Fried Rice: 9/10 read more

Ordered kfc to go from here. Absolutely flavorful and delicious! Would order from here again !

Newly discovered Korean fried chicken place .. it was amazinggggg!!!! I had chicken wings for two back to back days from here.. I tried three flavors and all were great. The second day I ended up ordering some drums too which were a hit with my kid.. we got the soy garlic, the Korean BBQ and Yangnyeom. There is a subtle difference between all three of them so I honestly didn't know which was which while eating them but can honestly say that ALL of them tasted incredible. The lady who prepped my order was incredibly sweet and really helped me get my order ready. She even helped me get the right sauce as well as clean it up when it got messy. I know I am gonna be ordering from here soon over and over again! read more

I am very upset with this location right now. I placed an order on Monday online, my pick up was scheduled for 9:01pm, if they close at 9pm they shouldn't let me order online. I didn't realize they closed at that time. I went to the wrong location, I thought I ordered from the Santa Teresa location. I called and the lady told me I can cancel the order. I couldn't figure out how to cancel the order so I tried to call back to see if I could still head that way to pick up my order and they wouldn't answer the phone. The next day I called at 11am to either get a refund or pick up my order and I was told that a manager will have to help me and if I don't hear from the manager to call back 24 hours from then. I called back just now and I was told now to wait 48 hours to hear from a manager. I don't understand why I can't just pick up the order. I'd prefer a refund at this point. I will wait until Friday to hear back from a manager. I don't feel like this should be that complicated. read more

Extremely upset. I ordered 20 pcs strip and other items and they gave me this trash. I don't live near by so yea thanks. I'd like a refund . Update - they assumed I ate this to get my money back and I unfortunately did not. But thank you for this disrespectful comment and no help. Keep your free 10 chicken fingers and I'll never spend another dollar here. read more

I really enjoy Bonchon and keep coming back for their soy garlic chicken. The chicken is perfectly crispy with a satisfying crunch on the outside while staying juicy and tender inside. The soy garlic sauce is rich and flavorful, with a great balance of sweet and savory. Besides the chicken, their bulgogi is packed with savory, slightly sweet marinated beef that's tender and full of flavor. The dumplings are also a standout, nicely fried with a crispy exterior. The rice and fries here are just okay. The fries aren't very seasoned and feel a bit plain, while the rice is a little too sticky for my taste. read more

A few more visits since my last update, so adding new information for you. I noticed they got new menus during the summer. On one visit, in addition to our regular orders, we tried their japchae. Another time, we ordered the fried zucchini. Granted, they were nice big pieces of zucchini, but they seemed like they were better suited for an Italian restaurant. The seasoning was typical Italian breadcrumbs. I guess as long as you know that's what you're getting, they are fine. Garlic soy wings, rice, & fries continue to be our go to favorites. read more

Our meal wasn't cheap (10 strips with 2 different sauces), seasoned fries, and Korean donuts for $40, but it was so 젠장 good! Especially the donuts which were made to order, crispy on the outside and fluffy soft on the inside. They're like a Korean Stan's. They're Koreastan. read more

The chicken is always fresh and crispy. Usually order takeout and it's ready pretty quickly and the portion sizes are great.

I haven't been to any Bon Chon locations since Covid time and I noticed that their chicken menu has shrinked. I remembered they used to have more sauces option than now, unless I was wrong... Anyhow, today's experience was not bad. I took my team out to lunch, none of them had Korean fried chicken before, and they all loved Bon Chon after today's visit. I might have higher expectation but as long as my team was satisfied, all good! Chicken wings were all saucy and crispy. Their signature sauce was really good, not too spicy, not too salty. The soy garlic in my opinion is too salty and lack of garlic taste. Bibimbap needs extra care, I think. The rice was not crispy at the bottom of the bowl. I think they need to heat up the bowl more, it was pretty room temperature when it was served to us (meaning, it was cold). Japchae was good, and we really appreciate that they were ok to substitute beef for tofu, as one of our team member didn't eat beef. House fried rice was the best of today's visit. It was the first thing to be finished by our team today. 5 star to the server. I forgot to ask his name (we were too busy talking...) but he was super nice, super accomodating and responded to all of our requests promptly. Thank you!!! read more

White meat chicken or wings, you can't go wrong when you visit Bonchon! We love the crisp, sweet, tangy radish that's comes on the side of all the orders. It's a great compliment and palate cleanser for the yummy crunchy pieces of chicken. When we're with the kids, we add an order of rice to accompany our meal. This place is perfection! read more

Solid bonchon! Sometimes they can be hit or miss depending on the location but this place had great wings that were cooked nicely. Spicy was actually spicy and soy garlic was a hit as usual. I ordered takeout and it was ready within 20 minutes. Service was quick! Space overall is big and it wasn't too packed on a Friday night. My only gripe was that the steamed rice here was very dry and tasted a day old! Their fries though were amazing. They packed a huge bag for one serving - reminded me of five guys fry amounts! So I'll be opting for those at this location from now on. read more

The food was tasty and reminded me why I love their flavors. Pick up service was prompt and the guys are friendly. I didn't stay to eat in-house but it looked clean and comfortable. read more

Only come here if you want to be throwing up and on the toilet the whole next day. I ordered the bulgogi bibimbap, and the whole next day I was stuck on the toilet vomiting. Never had food poisoning this bad would never come back, and never recommend anyone coming here. The food was terrible anyway. Very bland and no flavor. read more

Speedy and super friendly welcoming service. The half and half wings is the way to go if your tolerance for spicy is low. The bulgogi fries were sizzling hot and japchae was super tasty. The music is upbeat and there's a lot of space. It's our second visit and we'll definitely be back. read more

Chicken quality at this Bon-chon location is decent compared to to other locations in San Jose.

Delicious Korean food, simple atmosphere. Ordered a beef, onion and mushroom stir fry really flavored. Plus white rice. Will return

Back and better than ever! This is the prime location for Korean chicken wings in general and also specifically for the Bonchon brand. The location is clean and well lit, with quick and friendly service, and their food is absolutely delicious. The wings are ample in size and fried to perfection. This location also puts in extra effort for presentation and plating. A shoutout to a long time employee, Bryan, for going above and beyond for providing exemplary experiences for customers. Always friendly, remembers repeat customers, frequent check-ins, and topping off drinks! read more

06/18/23 - Bonchon I arrived at my go-to Bonchon location. As usual, there was plenty of parking available. I typically order online and pick up. The staff is always kind and helpful. As always, the food was delicious. I order the wings and drumsticks (spicy and soy garlic). The spicy wings have a nice kick! Also ordered there sliders, WOULDN'T recommend the sliders. They are nothing special at all. Of course I ordered fries, you can never forget those. read more

I come here from time to time. It has been good until yesterday when I come to the restaurant. The soy garlic chicken was extra dry, over cooked, and no sauce. I don't know if they run out of sauce? Or they go cheap on the sauce. I was eating like extra dry no sauce plain chicken. It was pretty bad. Will not go back there for a while read more

Bonchon will always be my favorite KFC joint. There are many locations in the area but I think this location is by far the cleanest and most spacious. We came here for dinner on a Friday night and it wasn't busy at all which was great for us because we were starving. Probably 3 other tables were occupied. Fortunately, they had an anniversary special going on of 20 wings for $22. When it came out, we noticed there were also drumsticks so maybe it's actually both for $22. This deal doesn't come with their usual free side of coleslaw or radish. My personal favorite is the spicy which has a sriracha kick. Not really all that spicy though. The soy garlic for me is a bit too soy sauce based and sweet. Some of the wings weren't throughly sauced; though in being that way, I realized just how good the crispy breading was. We also ordered a side of their seasoned fries which were so crispy and flavorful from the garlic and parmesan. Definitely a must order. Service was attentive and friendly. read more

This Bonchon location has been consistently frying up the perfect Korean fried chicken wings and is my favorite location in San Jose. If you're looking to eat Bonchon in SJ, you need to only go to this location ONLY! I've been recently into buying the family packs that will have enough chicken to feed my family of four. Always get the half spicy and half soy garlic. I recently celebrated my daughter's 10th birthday here with 25 of our closest family members. Bryan, Darlene, and the rest of the staff were super friendly and accommodating and helped set up the perfect birthday lunch for my daughter. They were very attentive, the food was brought out quickly, and we loved the service provided. Thanks for going above and beyond for the family. read more

Even though I would give my food a 3 (my first time trying Buldak), the service was above and beyond good. Connor is everything a customer like me could ask for and beyond. He was super polite and gave honest personal opinions when I asked for them. I turned down both his suggestions and went for the Buldak... then another customer overhearing told me I HAD TO TRY THE SOY GLAZE WINGS with passion and enthusiasm. I went away with food I wouldn't order again... excited to come back and try the recommendations of Connor and the eavesdropping customer . Had the service not been so good I would have tried the Buldak and likely never returned. (The Buldak had flavor, and good flavor... it's just not my type of food... like when you see a pretty girl who's not your type). Warning: Buldak is actually spicy, which I highly appreciated. read more

We've been going here for a few years, Bonchon is literally the best ! We always get the family meal for dinner every so often. Today though, we decided to get the family meal for lunch post-hike with the kiddos. They were famished lol. But sadly, for the first time, the rice was super burnt and only filled partially in the container. Some parts were hard and inedible. This is the first negative experience we've had at this Bonchon. Going forward, we'll stick to ordering for dinner since we've consistently had good quality for our dinner orders. read more
