    Soy Garlic Wings
    Anh T.

    My friends and I ordered delivery from this Bonchon location. While we waited a bit for our order to arrive, they were still warm and delicious when they arrived! The seasoned fries were okay; while they were crispy and well-seasoned, we did not find anything extra or unique about these fries. However, I loved the wings! We tried their soy garlic wings. They were super crispy on the outside with a classic soy garlic glaze that was savory, slightly sweet, and packed with flavor.

    "Wing Deal for 2": When they ask you what side you want, be aware that they consider the fries as a side. ‍

    Bonchon cheated me last night. I ordered their "Wing Deal for 2"--Only $20! I was seduced by the flyer in their window which states "10 WINGS + 2 FRIES" and shows a photo of the wings and fries. The lady who took my to-go order asked what sides I wanted, and I thought, "Wow! I get sides, too! This is a good deal!" So I asked for pickled radish. She said it'd be 15 minutes for the food to be ready, but I waited close to 30 minutes. That's okay, I'm usually a pretty patient person. When I get home, my BF opens the box. BF: "What do you want to eat with the wings?" ME: "The fries." BF: "What fries?" ME: !!! So, he called Bonchon to ask what to do about the missing fries; should he bring the receipt back to the store, etc. They said, "No, your order is correct, the fries aren't missing. We didn't charge you for them. You asked for pickled radish INSTEAD of fries." Nothing we can do about it. End of conversation. Seriously!!! Why would I pay $20 for 10 wings + pickled radish and NO fries when I can get the better regular deal of $15 for 8 wings with pickled radish already included! Plus, the flyer clearly shows and states "+ 2 FRIES." Why didn't the lady just ask me if I wanted to SUBSTITUTE a different side instead of the fries in the deal? Of course, I want the fries! Now that I've posted the flyer here, I'm sure it will attract some customers. But, Fellow Yelpers, heed my folly and be wary of this precarious deal. Bonchon, you let me down.

    South SanFrancisco location Bonchon Greetings to all, this location of Bonchon is located in the mini strip mall near the Pacific Market at the top of Westborough hill. It has a shared parking lot with the other businesses that use the same lot with wheelchair access to the restaurant itself , at times, the parking spaces can fill quickly in the area which the Bonchon is located. The inside of this location has a very modest seating capacity and could use bit more lighting to brighten up the place; but l like it here the way it is. The service is on point and always has been every since I have been coming to this location, l especially like the fact that when I say can get (40 or 90 wings in 1 flavor ) for a Party , and the response is 20 minutes ; I am completely ecstatic. My goto Flavor is always the Sticky finger licking good tasty Hot ones. Mmmm Nice job and keep up the good work.

    Ordered the 8 piece wings with spicy sauce and the coleslaw as my side. Ordered on site and was ready within 15 minutes on a drizzly foggy day at 5: 52 pm on a Sunday. Business was slow as there was only one party dining in. This is my normal take out order unless others in our group would be eating this item. Pictured is a previous order where we had bulgogi sliders and wings with spicy flavor and the other half with soy garlic. Food is always consistent so that is one of the reasons we come back when we have a craving for Korean chicken on the go.

    I haven't been inside the restaurant yet, but I've ordered from Bonchon South San Francisco multiple times through food delivery and their chicken definitely lives up to the hype. The flavor and crunch are unmatched. Their combo meal is an excellent deal for what you get, and the drumsticks are double the size of a normal one. The corn is also surprisingly amazing with how buttery, sweet, and perfectly seasoned it is. Everything has been consistent every time I've ordered.

    Bonchon has been my go-to place for chicken wings for a while now. My personal favorite is the soy garlic flavor with radish side dish. I've also tried the spicy chicken wings, but I must warn you, they're extremely spicy! The kimchi fried rice is equally delicious. I had a great experience with this Bonchon location. I ordered from the app and went inside to pick up my food. The customer service was excellent. While this Bonchon location is good, it's not the best. For some reason, the Bonchon chicken wings in Sunnyvale taste much better.

    Bonchon is a classic fried chicken chain throughout the states. This was my first time dining at this specific location. We decided to stop by on a Friday night for a party of 3. Upon arrival, we got seated quickly as there were plenty of open tables. First thing that greeted us was the sticky tables. We tried to move tables, but it seemed as if every other table was sticky so we decided to just grin and bare it. I didn't think it was uncleanly, however now thinking back, it could be the wax/coating coming off of their tables. Still, the sensation was quite unpleasant. What we ordered is outlined below: Large wing, split into two flavors (soy garlic and spicy): 4.5/5, I wish the spicy wings were a tad more spicy, but nonetheless, these wings were so crispy and freshly fried. The radish complimented the wings so well with its acidity. I preferred the soy garlic over the spicy, it reminded me of the Korean wings you get at your local Korean restaurant, but better. -1 star for the sticky tables; otherwise wings were tasty and I would definitely get take out for next time. Great price point. Staff were friendly.

    Spicy flavor.

    Bonchon was one of the first Korean fried chicken places in the Bay Area and used to be my favorite Korean fried chicken place because the fried breading is unique in that it's not very heavily breaded or thinly breaded. I love the spicy flavor the most followed by the original soy. The sauces are not overly drippy unless other places so I like it. The only problem I have with Bonchon is that it's very inconsistent. Sometimes the drumsticks are huge (almost turkey sized) but other times are much smaller. The chicken sometimes is very moist but other times way too dry. However I still recommend anyone who hasn't tried Bonchon to try it at least once even though there are now many Korean fried chicken places around because the flavor and breading here is unique. This is in a strip mall with a supermarket so parking can be annoying but you should eventually be able to find a place after circling for a while. Bonchon used to be super popular but nowadays you never have to wait for seating. Unfortunately they removed the lunch special and the Bonchon apps (both) are not good so order directly or through something like snack pass.

    Half and half with soy garlic and spicy
    Annie W.

    Was sampling chicken wings to try to decide from where to order for a party and Bonchon was one of my places. I got the half and half order with eight wings in two different flavors (soy garlic and spicy) and a side of pickled radish ($16.55). They were pretty good, but the spicy didn't seem to have enough flavor for me; it was spicy but didn't have enough sweetness to it. The soy garlic was good, though. It's hard to decide where the best wings are in this town with lots of different types and offerings and it gets pretty expensive trying to sample them all! The guy behind the counter was great and very helpful! Love it when customer service is up to par!

    Came late in the afternoon so the restaurant only had a couple tables occupied. The server greeted me as I walked in and asked me where I'd like to sit. Option 1 or option 2. I picked one and she proceeded to pull the table together for my party of 5. My kids and I eagerly sat down and when I sat down my chair was wet (*ughh) so I walked to the service stand and asked for napkins. Got back to the table and kids said the table was sticky... I asked the server if she could wipe down the table and she said "oh the table is still dirty" -__- *hmmmm why did she ask me if I wanted to sit at a dirty table as opposed to directing me to a clean one? We ordered a wing and drum combo and I thought it was tasty. My teenage daughter said she likes wing stop better anyway she walked up to ask for some ranch and they brought out a 2 oz size cup (only 75% full) to her and didn't say anything. Later one of my other kids got up and asked for another... When my bill came I was charged $2 for ranch. Would've been nice if the server announced that they charge $1 for ranch.

    This was my first time trying out Bonchon. My wife and I dined here on a Tuesday evening. There were several other diners (about five other tables seated). The service at this location was fast and the food came out promptly, even with all of the take out orders. The wings were crispy, as expected of Korean style wings, and tasty. Portion size was ample considering these are wings. The bulgogi fries were not as hot (temperature) as I feel they should have been and the bulgogi beef needed more flavor. There is ample parking (strip mall lot) and the restaurant appeared clean.

    My last review on this chicken joint was back in 2017, but Bonchon definitely deserves a "real" review. I've kept my previous review honest and concise, but it wasn't as thorough as my typical Yelp reviews. In the past several years, I've made numerous Bonchon trips and taken excessive number of pics. Yet, I failed to lay it down with pride for the Bonchon squad! Bonchon delivers the most unique and enjoyable chicken "experience" out there. This joint never ceases to amaze me! The way that their wings (especially, their wings) are fried gives off the impression that they're serving chicken on a different level. This level is so different that it doesn't feel as if you're just snacking on just chicken anymore. Bonchon is indeed, an experience where one is devouring an addictingly light, yet starchy, seasoned and crisp potato batter which safeguards the integrity of another crispy and juicy piece of meat inside, called, the "wing". It's that deep, it's like eating 2 snacks in one! The experience makes me think of how all that starchy goodness came to be. The starchy batter just bubbles around the wing like my favorite Hong Kong Style Pork Chop from Superstar and Gateway. Except with the way Bonchon double-fries their wings, they've made it to an art and a science. In fact, I just learned that their wings are literally, "handbrushed" with their famous glaze. Life made sense to me after learning this. I'm convinced that Bonchon's frying techniques have made them beyond comparison even to other Korean chicken spots like Von's and Ks Premium Chicken (inside Kukje Supermarket - Daly City). That's how deep I'm going. The closest that I could remember where a cook actually prepares their wings close this level are the fryers at my local KFC (1990's KFC Hot Wings) and my late Grandma's Jumbo Crisco-Fried Chicken (and possibly with the addition of a little Aji-No-Moto and Trans Lard in there). You get the picture. Eating Bonchon's Wings doesn't even feel like you're eating at a local Wingstop or Hooters. If I want a quick-fix for "wings", I'll go to those spots. But if I want starchy, glazed goodness (and wings), I'll choose, "Bonchon". Forget the fries, their wings are 2 snacks in 1. In my last visit I ordered, "half-n-half". One half was the Yangnyeom and the other was their famous, Soy-Garlic. I've had Yangnyeom in other spots for comparison, but I'd still recommend Bonchon's Soy Garlic as a safe bet. Yangnyeom can be "adventurous" for some since it's reminiscent to a wing immersed in a spicy, rich sauce with a similar consistency to tomato paste (probably from the gochujang). While Bonchon's Yangnyeom isn't "bad", it can be surprisingly spicy for those who are accustomed to their Soy Garlic. Also, if you dislike the thought of wings being "pre-ketchuped", then this flavor isn't for you. I was just there yesterday, and I even supplemented my wing order with Bulgogi Fried Rice. I forgot that I've ordered this dish in the past but Sunday's fried rice hit hard! The beef strips were rather large and tender. The flavors were not overbearingly sweet from the bulgogi marinade. I enjoyed the sizable amount of peppers and onions. And you already know you're getting bomb fried rice when you take that first dig-in. When that dig-in has a scoopful of rice grains majestically clumped together you know it's fried right and it's just ready to be shoveled in your mouth. I'll be honest the Bulgogi Fried Rice took me by surprise. If you know me well enough, Chinese food is my jam. However, my recent experiences with Chinese fried rice have been pretty lame. My typical fried rice orders normally come from from hole in the walls and/or steam tables. Especially with the Bulgogi Fried Rice, I definitely felt that got what I paid for (about $15) and that this dish ultimately fulfilled my desire for a fresh and comforting plate of carby goodness. Having this dish just made perfect sense. The table and seating arrangements are basic. It appears to accommodate up to 25 customers. I normally take my orders to go, but when I've dined in in the past, it had been a decent experience. Bonchon still at 5 stars!

    I've had Bonchon at family parties and it has been good. Came here on a Friday night and got the bulgogi fries and 10 piece boneless wings. Overall I was super disappointed with both. The bulgogi fries were super sparse and came on a huge plate. If they are going to not give many fries I would suggest putting it on a smaller plate to make it look like a larger portion. The boneless wings were extremely small and very average tasting. They tasted like they could've come from a frozen bag sadly. Overall the service was good but for the quality of the food I will not be back.

    There is hair in my bowl of rice that came with my chicken.

It wasn't for me. On the opposite, the oxtail soup was pretty solid and we would order it again. The other letdown was the banchan, it was unfortunately very bland, especially the kimchi which was very under seasoned. Overall, not a bad spot to have a comforting meal but note the flavors might not be consistent with traditional flavors.

    We stopped by K-Noodle on a Sunday afternoon and was pleasantly surprised to be seated right away…read more The space has a clean, modern Korean vibe -- bright lighting, cozy booths, and a welcoming atmosphere. Service was impressively fast without feeling rushed however the food took awhile to come out which was a bit too long. Here's what we tried: Beef Rib Noodle Soup - The standout dish of the meal. It came with two huge, tender ribs, and the meat literally slid off the bone. The broth was clear yet rich, full of flavor, and perfect for a comforting meal. Seaweed Rice with Spam - A simple but hearty side. The portion was big, with a thick slice of Spam on top of seasoned seaweed and fluffy rice. Great for sharing or for someone who wants a filling add-on. Jajangmyeon - Very generous serving size, and the noodles were nicely chewy. The sauce was on the lighter side -- still tasty, but I personally prefer a deeper, bolder black bean flavor. Overall, K-Noodle is a solid choice in Burlingame if you're craving a satisfying Korean noodle meal that is if you can wait. Affordable, fast, and that rib soup alone is worth coming back for! We'll definitely be returning to try more of the menu.

Also got the lamb hot pot which had substantial lamb inside, was just thrown off how herby it was. Staff and service attentive as usual.

    How many restaurants out there these days still keep the 90's decor Chinese restaurant? Regardless…read morethe taste, it's a good place to bring your true friends here. By true friends, I meant the ones will not only appreciate how this place looks, but also understand how old this particular San Bruno district is. If you look for a hip place or area, make a U turn now. What caught me the most on watching the youtube video online is that they serve hawthorn jelly stick with the duck. I've never seen anywhere else in my entire life here in the bayarea, immediately, I tell myself, this is legit. You can't go wrong with the duck but I would suggest to skip the soup. I really don't think duck bones are for soups, it has a very weird smell. Fried shrimp with crispy shell (note that the shell is the main character here) is decent and you can tell the cook is not Cantonese when beef cube tastes more on the salty instead of sweet side (have you tried the Vietnamese/French style steak cubes? I had this HKese restaurant that did a fantastic job on it, but it's been gone for a long long time around. I still regret nowadays I didn't push forward to ask the waiter who used to work there where the chef moved to ~~~ How can I be so stupid and slow ........ sigh... I suspect they have a northern cook because the pickled cabbage fish (suan cai yu) has neither numb nor spicy taste and the soup is delicious! Later on the waiter has confirmed it's with a non-Szechuan approach and Mr. Chef is from the north. Anyways, I think, whoever understands me, understands this place.
