This store just opened in September. We were craving for wings and found this place on Yelp. Our dinner was absolutely delicious and crispy. We thoroughly enjoyed the chicken. Won't go wrong with any of the flavors or even as plain. Love the crunch and each piece has the perfect crispiness to each bite. While the wings aren't big, there was some meat and quite tasty. We had the Korean corn as a side and it was good. We will be back. read more

Greetings my Foodzies, today I had a taste for fried chicken. We went to Bonchon Korean fried chicken at 5237 w Touhy Ave in Skokie. The restaurant was small but interesting, they had a street view on the wall which had an almost 3D affect. We were greeted warmly by Kevin and Siv, a couple awesome guys; friendly, personable and helpful. Basic table seating. We wanted to get a variety so we ordered some Korean street corn much like the Mexican street corn elotes only with a twist, some added chili flakes very tasty. Bulgogi fries (bulgogi meat over crispy fries with mozzarella scallions and an awesome spicy mayo) flavorful but the mayo was the highlight. We also had the Mix 2 drumsticks and 6 wings split between 2 sauces, Korean BBQ which was a little tangy and the Spicy sauce it had a hint of heat but for me could be a little spicier. The chicken is double fried (lightly breaded and fried then allowed to cool for a few minutes then fried again. This kept th chicken juicy and made the skin extra crispy. We also had the coleslaw which was crunchy and had the right amount of sauce. They did a unique thing, the plates were aluminum carry out trays so if you don't finish your food, put a cover on it and you are good to go. I give this restaurant 5 stars because of it completeness everything from the employees to the cleanliness of the restaurant. I highly recommend this restaurant. Try it out and let me know your thoughts. Ciao Ciao for now. read more

Bonchon Skokie - Cute place to eat! - Chicken Wings Near Me - Skokie, Illinois

The extra star was for the spicy sauce being the only comparable taste to the regular bonchon restaurant I go to. I decided to try them out after a long day, and felt stuck waiting far longer on my order than it should take. Wish I cancelled it; the chicken (while still deliciously spicy ) had some moments of rubbery chewiness; There was no juice in the pickled radish container, so the cubes were dry and soft... no crunch... I don't know how to feel when this was something I was very much looking forward to At least one of the four wait staff members seemed apologetic about the long wait time, but I do not think this is the best representative of a bonchon, so I would not recommend this restaurant. read more

horrible service. would NOT recommend skokie location - drive to glenview. girl behind counter was very rude and condescending when we questioned our order. she basically blamed us for her error. read more

Our first time at this location. Pleasantly surprised to see an updated menu with new items. We ordered Chicken Fried Rice, Korean Chicken Tacos, Chicken Katsu, and Korean Doughnuts. We saw only one employee who took our order and brought our food to us. Not sure if he prepared it as well. Dining room was clean and bright. Will go back soon for the Beef Bulgogi Fries and Chicken Wings. And more Chicken fried rice and Korean doughnuts. read more

Back in the day I used to like going to Bonchon , the original, being in Chinatown Chicago but haven't been here before so I ordered a tray of chicken wings 1/2 plain and have with garlic soy sauce. It was Super Bowl Sunday and I was so embarrassed when I brought it to the party. Their wings were so small and not like I remembered. This is a real shame. They are not cheap and the wings I expected were far from good. The sauce was okay. I should have gone to the Korean wing place on Dempster. I've learned my lesson. read more

When I went, quality of the wings was not great. For the premium price I paid, I am pretty disappointed. At least the workers were kind and attentive. read more

2.5/5 Chicken was not flavorful, the outer layer could have used more sauce. We got two different flavors but could not tell the difference. The outside was crisp but inside was dry. read more

I was at village crossing and wanted to grab something for lunch in that area and this place popped up when I was looking on Yelp. It looked different and the food looked good too so I thought I'd give it a try and glad I did! I orders the six piece wing/drumstick meal with coleslaw and tye spicy sauce. I have a fairly good tolerance for spice and was very happy with the spice level of the wings! It had a nice but without being too overpowering where you couldn't taste the food. The chicken was pretty tender and the breading was so crunchy and delicious. It was very unique to other breading I've had on chicken. It came with a side of cole slaw too which I haven't tried yet but it looks good. I was pretty full as you get a generous portion of meat on each wing. I'm excited to go back and try the other items on their menu especially the noodles and the Korean donuts! read more

As soon as I walked in, immediately greeted and felt welcomed. The staff was very helpful and kind. The food quickly came out and it was yummy. Nice and Crunchy. I'm definitely coming back. Thank youuu read more

First things first...I give Bon Chon a solid FIVE STAR rating for their menu, my wife and I have been their six times as of today. Secondly...I give them FOUR STARS for their counter help, one individual lost them a star, he shouldn't have been in a position to deal with people! Thirdly...A GIANT ONE STAR for cleanliness, the floor look they were mopped with just water (almost filthy) the tables typically are in need of wiping...and to top things off, management should pay attention to the DETAILS. read more

Disappointed. We ordered 20pcs wings with two sauces. Wings are a lot smaller than it used to be I guess inflation got best of it and the sauces were very light barely taste it, all we taste was batter. Two stars for crispy batter. read more

This was the second and last time we will ever order from this place. The first time we were told to try the chicken strips- dried out and tasteless This last time we ordered on line for 6:45 pm and tried to move it up to 6:15. Was told they would have to talk to manager and advised me they couldn't. We arrived at 6:40 and was told it wasn't ready yet. At 6:45 we were told that it would be another 8 minutes because we ordered legs and wings combo. The chicken legs were rubbery and undercooked and the wings dry and without flavor. The only thing they didn't screw up were the French fries read more

I did contact your customer service and they didn't respond so obviously my business is it worth anything but you know what I'll live because the food was as bad as a service and I hope people don't get sucked into it. Double breading just means that there's less chicken. I think you really need to improve on your Insta customer service and everything else it's really disgusting read more

Meeh, I ordered the half/half chicken strips. Spicy & the soy.. they were just ok. because the strips were rather Dry .. However, the seasoning was very good, especially the spicy one.. I will give it a second try, for something other than chicken strips. read more

I enjoyed the wings and the street corn. I was happy to see that they have zabiha halal food. It is very good for fast food wings were among the best I have eaten. read more

Went in for a to go order. Spent over $60 for the smallest amount of food. For example, literally ordered a side of fries and they threw like 10 fires in a bag. I ordered a mix of boneless and bone-in, got home no boneless in the box. I tried to call to call the store 3 times when I got home, they picked up and immediately hung up every time! I'll never go back. Terrible. read more

Gave us free sauce, they were so nice. Loved the food super delicious!!! Also they were about to close and they still accommodated us

Good price, food was good, not great. Service was meh. Why? Tried to call in an order with no luck. Drive there and waited a couple mins before someone came out. Not sure what is going on. read more

Great wings. Sweet and spicy are both good. Sauces are on point. Never disappoints. No comment on inside as we just got carry out.

The food was mediocre and overpriced...I should have kept my money!.....The 2 stars is because the cashier was friendly.

Wow best kimchi and fried rice with amazing veggi potstickers I like a lot this new joint def going to be back

Bonchon you rock the chicken wing game. I thought New York Bonchon was it but you have won my tummy and my heart. Don't ever start and I love ok forward to many more days of garlic chicken wings. read more

I was so excited to try something new - Korean Chicken. The staff was friendly and helpful, but everything is ala carte. The average bill for 2 is about $50 - is the food worth that amount of money for fast food - I don't think so. The food was tasty - but their menu states pork potstickers - but they no longer serve them - only vegetarian potstickers. They were tasty but I prefer the pork one. The fact that you pay $11.95 for a chicken sandwich without fries is very expensive. Would I visit them again - probably not - I just think they are to expensive for fast food. read more

This place is awesome. The food was really good, I had the spicy wings combo with rice and coleslaw. Everything was good, the wings were not overly breaded, and the spice level is just right. I also have to shout out the staff, who even though they were busy I noticed they greeted all customers that enter the store. Great people. Great food read more

Complete disaster :( I ordered for delivery and the bonchon staff made a big mistake of bagging the wrong food with the wrong ticket. We received our bag with the right food ticket but the contents were completely wrong. Not even one item was correct. We ordered 20 wings, shareable fries, and radish. We received potstickers, boneless chicken, coleslaw, and Parmesan fries. What? How? We had to walk in the rain to get to the store to have them fix our order. Then the staff blamed the mistake on the innocent food delivery people. When all grub hub had to do was pick up the bag with our name and order, but the error was the food inside the bag was wrong. So the staff didn't pack it right and didn't double check it. Accountability would've been nice. They apologized and we waited for them to remake our food but someone out there for the wrong order too/our food. We go to bonchon in San Diego all the time but this visit to this particular location during our trip was a mess. Sadly, no accountability means no insight or awareness on the mistake. So this will happen again. I should've listened to the reviews. read more

The food was absolutely amazing and the prices are really good for the quality! We love the donuts. I get plain and my girlfriend gets the cinnamon sugar and they are both so good. Yum! The service is amazing. I had a gentleman at the front helping me and recommending things I wouldn't have thought of. It was nice to be treated with such kindness. read more

Opens at Noon. Schedules online order for pick up at 12:30pm. Food is not ready at 12:30pm and needs at least another 30 mins for food to be ready. There are like 6 other customers waiting. What's the point of placing an order ahead? Service is simply poor. Not worth the wait. Go somewhere else like CM or K Coop. read more

Ate here on my lunch break! Ordered boneless with half spicy and half soy garlic sauce. Food came out within 10 minutes. Chicken was nice and juicy and flavorful! Will come here again read more

Gosh !!! Take forever for the food!!!!! Like an hour !!!! No joke!!! I was in the restaurant waiting !! The cashier seem like they're have a bad day ... not friendly at all!!! read more

Crispy soy garlic wings at Bonchon cannot be beat. When I first tried these bad boys, I was in heaven. The juicy chicken, the flavor of the sauce, and the crispy layer of the fried chicken was immaculate. We got corn on the side as well which was great too. I recommend the business for parties because your group will love them read more

The lady up in front register was nice but the food taste is alright. We got there spicy rice and it was extremely spicy so after a bit we requested to get it change. And they said no. It sad that I spend over $60 and they did not even let me change something that I can not even eat read more

Don't go here. Called and was told by a manager there was a special 20 wings for $22 and then when i called back 5 min later I was told that the special was removed because the price of chicken went up. Wow in the span of 5 min the price went up. This is not how you do business. I decided to take my business somewhere else. read more

[I am a ranter. So, please take it with a grain of salt] I love bonchon. I really do. But my goodness.... The mighty has fallen. Three stars because the establishment looks like it is family-owned or operated. I support family business. Aside from that, I can't see myself coming back to bonchon because of two reasons. First, I ordered six piece of wings, half and half ($10). The wings were so small! The only saving grace of these wings is that their sauces were delicious. But my goodness! $10 for those super small wings?! Second, I also ordered katsu ($14). It was dry, thin, chewy, and definitely frozen. They even burned it. Never again. Why did I even order this?! ugh... The place is clean and artsy. But the food though.... As my Jewish friends would say: haval.... read more

The chicken were so salty, even combined with the rice. We're so unhappy with their food.

So happy to have this new addition to the area. Spicy wings - delicious Garlic soy - good Regular wings - ok Garlic fries - good Garlic soy potstickers - good Regular potstickers - ok Korean street corn - good read more

I've had my fair share of BonChon and it's always good. This location has halal meat options which is a huge plus! The service was also really good! read more

Nasty the tacos all Mayo. The Schaumburg location better. More food options and cleaner.
