    Beef Bulgogi
    Frank L.

    I would give Bonchon Schaumburg 5 stars. I ordered via Uber Eats, so I can't say anything about the dine in experience, but for the price I paid, I think the portion and food was worth it. The beef bulgogi was pretty tasty, and I like the hot sauce that they have available as well. I wish they included soy sauce and utensils with the order, but other than that, good food, they made it quick, and on time. Maybe I'll have to try their chicken next time.

    Spacious, modern vibe with plenty of seatings. We really enjoyed the chicken wings especially the soy garlic. The wings are double fried so they are extra crispy. Server was nice and friendly.

    We had a great time and enjoyed wonderful Korean food. Also, our server Nate was excellent in helping us with the food choices since it was the first time. We would definitely repeat.

    Lunch 8 pc Wings special with side of Kimchi
    Josh M.

    I've been to many Bonchon on my travels and this is a solid branch. When I stopped by for lunch, the waitstaff consisted of one with four tables of diners. I was a bit concerned about the turn around, but my order was taken promptly and the kitchen turned it around quickly. Everything was cooked well and I thoroughly enjoyed my choices. I came for the Korean fried wings, but the parmesan crusted fries were delightful crispy, and my side of kimchi was enough to bring some home.

    Tteokbokki with unmelted cheese

    Service is pretty slow although the restaurant is almost empty. Food was terrible. Boneless chicken was salty. I recommend go to BBQ chicken if u like Korean chicken. Teokbokki, I could only taste some spicy and nothing else and came out with unmelted cheese. And took long time to cook. I got it when my coworkers are almost finished their food. $6-7 frozen instant Teokbokki we can buy at Korean grocery will be more delicious and can cook quickly. With one pepsi refill, automatic 20% gravity was applied on the bill. (We were 7 ppl but nothing was cared except one refill at the last minute) Conclusion, I won't go there again.

    Tofu bulgogi. Good food but poor service.

    Dine-in Lunch for 4 on Sunday, 11/10/2024 Good food Poor service They need to hire more staff. There was one man manning the whole floor. He served as greeter, bar tender, food runner, and cashier. I saw a lot of customers come in and leave because they were standing by the door for a long time without being greeted. This is not the one employee's fault. He was doing 4 people's jobs. Note: You must go to the guy to give your order. Do not wait for him to go to your table. They were out of udon. It would help if their menu indicated this. Food was good. However, it took a long time for our food to be served. Perhaps they need more kitchen staff, too. Also, the pacing was wrong. We were given the main dishes first before the appetizers. The rice that came with the main dish was served last when we were halfway through with the main dish. Food was good but we would not go back.

    Bulgogi Fries and Soy Garlic Chicken Strips
    Hayley T.

    Discovered this place a few years back because I heard Korean chicken was the best, and I can agree! It's not oily at all and has a great crunch still. We love getting the strips for convenience. I typically do half and half, but sometimes the spicy gets too spicy sometimes for us. We love that it comes with a side dish of your choice, such as coleslaw or pickled radish! I've only chosen pickled radish, so I'm not sure how the coleslaw is. I wish they did still have the sweet chili sauce, but sadly it was limited time only. Hopefully it comes back as a permanent one! We love the bulgogi fries too! Even though it wasn't super crispy (just our preference but also we got it as a to-go order), we still loved it so much! We would definitely get it again. A great amount of bulgogi too! Only downside was the price, but I saw it's worth it on occasion. Overall, service was great. They are always so kind and quick with getting everything prepared. 10/10.

    Ordered online and paid $50 for these tiny boneless chicken. Called and was told they couldn't give me a refund but would offer a 50% discount on wings next time. I mean look at the quantity too.

    Drumsticks
    Jaclyn W.

    Wow wow wow. Let me tell you this place was delicious! My fiancé and I came here after seeing many good reviews on TikTok. We ordered 10 drumsticks. Five of them were soy garlic and five of them were hot. They come with complementary pickled radishes. OK this place is kind of pricey. I paid like almost $30 with tax for 10 drumsticks. But, the flavor was outstanding. The soy garlic was so delicious and tasty, it was a flavor I have not seen many places. The chicken was extremely crispy and crunchy, but juicy inside. My fiancé was obsessed with the spicy flavor. 1000% recommend!

    Soy garlic chicken wings.
    Jennifer D.

    We've been ordering the same thing from different bonchon locations coz we love the soy garlic chicken wings but this location doesn't taste good. Chicken and the sauce ratio is not good. I went back to ask if it's soy garlic flavor coz it doesn't taste the same. The texture was soggy too. The person was good though

    Fast service great food . Third time here and same service.great food. The atmosphere nice

    Seasoned fries
    Mike M.

    I'm loving the mainstream abundance of Korean Fried Chicken these days. There was a time when you couldn't find a halfway decent KFC spot in Chicago, let alone a suburb like Schaumburg. Then, when Bonchon first arrived in Chicago they only had the Chinatown location. Back then, I was ecstatic to find out I could get it delivered from Chinatown to my office via Chowbus. Now, not only is Bonchon in the area, but there are also multiple options to choose from with bb.q Chicken and Kogii Kogii also nearby. I'm merely minutes away from some delicious Korean fried chicken whenever I get the crave. There's just something about Korean chicken wings that put them on another level for me. They just have that awesome crunch from the thin outer shell but it's somehow super light and not at all greasy. That cornstarch and double frying really creates an amazing texture. The skin isn't heavily breaded or battered, and is very thin while at the same time they somehow achieve a light airiness between the skin and the meat that seemed to highlight the juiciness of the chicken. The flavor isn't generated from some heavy sauce that is tossed on the wing, but rather seems to just be baked right into the wing itself. Our go-to order is the half and half wings. The wings actually contain a mix of drumettes and wingettes and the "drums" listed on their menu are literally the full size drumsticks, so don't order the combo if you were expecting drumettes instead. Half and half consists of both the hot & spicy and soy garlic flavors. The hot and spicy definitely had a kick to it, but it's not that painful type of spicy. It was that flavorful type of savory spice that keeps you wanting more even though you're building up a sweat from eating it. The soy garlic was on the milder side from both a heat and flavor intensity perspective, but it had the nice balance of sweet and savory. For the sides we got the seasoned fries and the kimchi bacon fried rice. I was pretty surprised by how good the fries were. The fries were battered and seasoned, and came out hot and crispy. The kimchi fried rice was super moist and had a nice spicy umami flavor to it. The kimchi mixed in added a crunchy texture to the bite and the bacon provided some smokiness. It was just missing a fried egg on top, which would've completed the dish. Overall, I think Bonchon is best Korean wing in the area. It's easy to doubt a chain restaurant, but it's just consistently delicious.

    How spicy is the spicy chicken? Spicy like average buffalo wings or spicy like Nashville hot chicken?

    The spicy is quite hot. Definitely much hotter than I was expecting and definitely not something I'd order again. I thought I liked spicy, but this was way too spicy for me. I had to chase with lemon juice/apple cider vinegar mix as my mouth was… 

    Can you order the chicken plain (no sauce)?

    yes

Then the other server that brought our entrees spilled my husbands tea and again no offering to getting a fresh cup. We had to ask AGAIN for a fresh cup! While the portions were generous, the quality of all the food has gone way down. The special family recipe of thier shrimp dish Gan Pong is nothing but fried shrimp with dried chili peppers and no flavor. The Hunan spicy beef and chicken appeared to be all globs and sticky because of excessive and over use of corn starch used during the cooking process. This dish didn't have any unique flavor that one would expect. Previously we had experienced a difference in the food, taste and quality and that's what kept us returning. Sadly, after this experience I wouldn't recommend it to anyone or come back! I'd rather stick with Yu's Mandarin than drive to this place! Quality always wins over quantity in my books!

We explained what happened, but again no apology, no offer to fix it, no 'please stay, we'll take care of you.' Just 'that shouldn't have happened' and she'd talk to her staff. That's the corporate version of shrugging. We'd trekked a long way from the city only to be let down by basic service not happening at all. This is the kind of failure people don't expect from a group as large and well‑trained as Lettuce, and at this point I'm wondering if I should lower my expectations.

The meat was tender and there was lots of skin. The spicy jokbal was also stir fried or coated with this chili sauce like you would fried chicken. It also had rice cake pieces. The rice cake was actually much spicier than the jokbal. The soup also had a lot of depth of flavor. And then they added more ground perilla seeds and sliced perilla leaf on top. There were about 5 giant neck bones chunks (~2 vertebrate each) inside that I shredded into the soup. My only annoyance is that they have photos of food items they don't have on the menu pinned around the restaurant. For example, there a poster with soy sauce marinated crab that is not in the menu and they said it's not carried right now. The false hope. As a two person table, we spent about $100 total, but I also packed about 10 meals to go. Their portions are very generous and I felt like I didn't make a dent in the food even though I was full.
