    Bulgogi Fries
    Jennifer H.

    Ordered 10 wings with half Yangnyeom sauce and half Korean BBQ sauce. Honestly, I couldn't really taste the difference between the two sauces and though they're listed as being mildly spicy, they really were not spicy at all. Otherwise, they were pretty standard wings. We also got the Bulgogi fries which were very good. Crispy fries + cheese + beef. What is there not to like?!

    We went for lunch on a Monday, it wasn't too busy when we got there but ended up getting really busy shortly after. I like that it was clean & modern specially for being fast food. We just ordered Korean wings & spicy wings. I'll have to say, it tasted much better eaten fresh verses taking it togo. It was very flavorful & crispy. Bulgogi fries were good, I could've done with the sauce on the side. But we enjoyed it.

    Lets talk; This is not fancy. Walk up and order. Have a nice menu. Nothing is GF. I say nothing, but the rice, edamame, moche and etc, are. Don't expect to get wings. Why a five star? Because they CARE! When I started looking over the menu and asking questions they really dug deep and really cared about what I was ordering . I ordered. They placed the order then came back with the chili sauce they cook with and showed me it had wheat! So they changed my order to give me something good and savory. The kimchi was great and the radish! Definitely worth a try just know if your GF its a little harder to order.

    Finally made it out to Smyrna for Korean fried chicken. I've had a couple pieces from Bonchon before, but this was my first visit because it's so far from my house. It was the perfect Friday night meal after a long week. I ordered the 10 piece meal and went for half and half sauces. I was hesitant to try the soy garlic but it was my favorite between that and Korean BBQ. I'll be back to try Korean dishes from their menu.

    You order at the counter, seat yourself, and they bring you your food. Food came out very fast (although when we went it wasn't very busy), and the staff are pleasant. We got the 8 piece tenders, half soy garlic and half Korean bbq. Both pretty salty, but tasty. I preferred the soy garlic. The tenders were a bit on the small side for the price. It came with a side, a very small cup of either cole slaw or pickled radish. The radish was sweet and tart. I wish there was more with it. We will be back to try some other dishes.

    nice establishment, order at the counter and then seat yourself. This would be a nice little spot to grab lunch. All the employees here were very attentive. Lunch special 11.95 11am-3pm Korean street corn- 4/5 5 strips combo w/ garlic parm fries- 5/5 the chicken is more like Pattie's rather than strips 3 drumstick combo w/fries- 5/5 Bulgogi rice- 4/5 Kimchi- 2/5 I give this a 2 because I would rather have spicy kimchi than sweet kimchi I really wanted to try the Korean donuts, but their truck hadn't arrived with inventory. If you're in the area give them a try.

    Great food and service, food was very fresh!

    Good fresh food and service was very friendly! Ordered wings fried rice, Corn dog and Korean donuts! Amazing

    Was looking for some new and fresh and seen this on Yelp. Pictures looked good so I packed up the family and and few friends and headed to Smyrna. Arrived the place was packed , as all new places are. So as I stood in line the family scouted a table. The place is tiny and not very good for a party of 6 or more. Most of us ordered the Korean chicken with the exception of my wife who ordered the tacos. The girl taking the order was really sweet and nice. Waited for food and it was like the twilight zone.. our food took for forever. My wife had to ask 3 times and in an hour her tacos were not available for her. We have long finished our meal. The employees became rude ... so nice coming in after spending $135.00 they get rude when you want your food. First impression says I won't be back .

    Stopped in Smyrna today to give Bonchon Korean Fried Chicken a try. I love Korean delicacies...especially Korean Fried Chicken. My server was Rachel and she is an absolute sweetheart. She took the time to give me an overview of the menu, what she liked, and we also talked about the Murfreesboro location. I decided on the lunch special of Five Chicken Strips (2 plain/no sauce and 3 Soy Garlic), a side of Wasabi/Ranch dipping sauce, and Pickled Radishes as a side. All of this plus a fountain beverage for $11.95 wasn't a bad deal. My order was To Go and came out faster than I could fill my soda cup. I wanted to try some plain without any of the brushed on sauces and do some dipping. The Wasabi/Ranch sauce is good, mild, no real spice or heat. I also dipped in Blue Cheese and Ranch and liked those better. The Soy Garlic was delicious and had good flavor, no heat. I must admit...the pickled radishes are very "pungent" BUT are so darn good. I've never had Stubborn Soda before...the Root Beer is really good and reminded me of old school A&W Root Beer. Overall good chicken, nice flavor, and the service from Rachel was 5-Stars!

    Where's the sauce?
    Kimmy S.

    I was excited to try Bonchon, but not so much when I opened the box and found a piece of metal! The wings were all flaps. I was not aware of that. I thought it would be a mixture. Yes, I saw the menu has drumsticks but I was thinking of the actual large drumsticks. Kinda misleading since everywhere when you order wings, it's a combination of both flaps and drummies. The sauce on wings is non existent, they should be drenched and they were barely dipped. We got the boneless wings which were super tiny in size and very well overpriced. $1.37 for a boneless wing with barely any sauce, no thanks. Also, I found a piece of metal fried into my wings. How did the cooks missed this? I mean it's shiny metal!!! I hope they bring a K.BBQ to middle TN, because it's just a million times better then Bonchon. Just overall. Huge disappointment. I'm aware they just opened so maybe they need a little retraining but common. The metal in the chicken. Smh.

    10 pc Soy Garlic tenders with spicy & Japanese mayo.
    Jason C.

    After trying this in the bigger cities such as Chicago, I was so excited to finally have one of these in middle TN! Parking is easy in the shopping center lot out front. This is a fast/casual place where you order at the counter & then sit down. Lots of people came in for takeout orders. We got the 10 piece soy garlic tenders with a shareable seasoned fries, Japanese mayo, & spicy mayo. I'm pretty sure they changed the style of the chicken tenders since I previously visited at the Chicago location, but I felt the size & quality was still good with these. The chicken was fried nicely & had that perfect crisp & crunch you'd expect with quality KFC while still moist on the inside. Fries were piping hot & seasoned well. Only complaint is that we noticed right before leaving that the menu stated "complimentary side of pickled radish or coleslaw" with our chicken which we didn't get. Not sure if we're supposed to ask (I don't remember having to ask at the other location) or if they were out or just forgot. Anyway, not a big deal since we were full at that point anyways. Wish this was closer to Nashville but definitely worth checking out if you're in the area!

    I requested plain wings just to try it
    Thommy S.

    As of right now, I'll have to say mediocre. I'll have to try it again since it's still so new here and my rating may change later. I was super excited when I heard we were getting Korean wings here in middle TN. I literally waited and waited for them to open lol. Parking can get packed here. It's in a small plaza with limited parking. Luckily we found a spot to park at in the back. We pretty much just walked up to the counter, ordered our food, and once our food was done, they called our names out. It was super busy since they just opened, but I felt that the tech time was really good considering how busy they were. I went ahead and just made my wing order a meal for only a few dollars more. They ran out of ice, straws, and lids for the cup at their little drink station. When I went to use the restroom, there was also no toilet paper. We got there not too late, too. We went on a Saturday, which they close at 10, but we got there before 6pm. Not sure if they will restock items during the day, but they were out when we got there. They were also out of pickled radish (sad cause I really wanted some) that was supposed to come with the wings, so we got the cole slaw instead. Food wise: the wings itself, wasn't bad. It wasn't too over cooked or undercooked. I requested them to fry some with no sauce (plain) and also tried the half and half. The sauces weren't bad, either. I liked the spicy flavor the most.

    Soy garlic wings

    Great fast causal dinning option. Nice staff. The soy garlic wings were incredibly crunchy. The bulgogi fries had a great flavor with crisp fries, but some of the pieces of beef were chewy and difficult to eat. The floor was sticky all in the seating area.

We asked to be seated somewhere else, which they did (although that spot wasn't much better), and placed another couple at the original table. Within minutes they had the same issue... bundling up, switching seats around, etc. our waitress seemed on the younger side, and maybe even new. But she appeared visibly confused with just about every request we had. Her response was usually "uhhhh..... okay" followed by us getting wrong drinks/food. The food overall was decent. The chicken tenders were juicy and crispy and the ranch was great. Their fries were delicious. It likely wouldn't be my first choice in picking a place to eat, but I do believe it deserves a second chance. I'll be going back when it's warmer to hopefully have a different experience.

I've heard people talking about eating Raising Cane's and how good their chicken tenders were. I've never tried them before and didn't realize that they only serve tenders. I like tenders, but I was craving fried chicken(bone in). It was late, around 8:45pm and I went to the drive through and ordered the first combo(bummed about no bone in). It had a catchy name for it, but I forget. Pulled up to the window and received courteous and fast service. They advertise as every order is freshly prepared. Since I received my order so quickly, I was anticipating something left on the warmer. Boy was I wrong! I opened the corner of my takeout box and felt around for a tender and that sucker was hot! What a nice surprise to see the meat steaming after a bite. It came with some bread and my hungry butt shoved that big tender into the bread and had the best sammie while I finished driving to my destination. I ate the rest of the fries and slaw and 2 more tenders after I got there and all that hot and delicious food was worth the stop. I would definitely recommend this place if you're a chicken tenders fan. I really wasn't a big fan until I had some of Raising Cane's. Good, hot, freshly prepared, and super fast.

Also, I think I'll get a side of their slaw and extra cane's sauce. Overall very good!!
