BonChon was really efficient and careful with our order when we called near closing time on a Thursday night. We called at 830 pm for a pretty big order (20 wings, tofu salad, an order of bulgogi) to be ready for pick up by 930 pm (closes at 10 pm apparently on Thursdays). We picked up the food with everything in the bag ready for us by 930 pm, despite the place being pretty full of people. I liked everything about our food except for the tofu in the salad, which was pretty soggy, bland and tasteless. It was supposed to be breaded apparently, but it didn't really have any flavor to it. The sesame dressing in the salad was great, though. There weren't really many veggies in our other dishes, except for the bulgogi, which had some pieces of plain/steamed broccoli. The wings were perfect like usual - half spicy and half regular - and were really tasty. We had to order and pay for rice on the side, and there were a couple of radish dishes included with the chicken (the other option was cole slaw). Overall, we were impressed with our order, there was just the tasteless tofu in the salad we ordered that we weren't really a fan of. read more

Been going here for years. OG spot always been the go to. I never had a problem until tonight tho. Ordered two flavors for takeout but when I got home they barely put any sauce on the wings. Really dry and was disappointed. Quality check before y'all take it home. They ain't cheap. read more

NOMNOM. Recently I've been craving chicken, so Allen took me here for dinner to celebrate some good news on his end! Two of us, we ordered: 1) 1 order of takoyaki +1 liked the big pieces of octopus! +/-1 A bit too moist for my liking +/-1 Too much fish flakes and too much mayo 2) Medium combo (5 drumsticks, 8 wings?) with kimchi and rice. Radish is free! +1 Juicy pieces of fried chicken! +1 That crunch doe! YAS! +1 Garlic sauce is yummy! Spicy is actually not too spicy! +1 Really good service! -1 Ugly lighting. Not aesthetic at all! -1 Everything here has a cost. You can't even get extra sauce on the side! -1 Combo meals allow you to have free sides for up to $3. TBH, none of the stuff was impressive. -1 Wish they expanded more on the sauce collection! Would only come here to fried chicken (well duhhhh); the other stuff on the menu (SALAD?!) is definitely extra. Pro tip: if you take your receipt to Sharetea next door, you get 10% off your order! read more

Really good Korean fried chickens! It's in a plaza so lots of parking spots. I always get the combo of half and half ( half soy garlic and Korean spicy). I also love their garlic fries. The drum stick are huge! The wings are small. I prefer to eat it at the restaurant if you can because the food will get cold if you bring it home. It might still be warm but it taste better fresh out of the fryer! read more

I don't really eat fried chicken so I don't have anything to compare this with but this place is preeetty darn good. A small box of 5 drumsticks will run you about $12 something which is pretty pricey when you can get a whole bucket at KFC according to the commercials I see. I think the quality is way better though? They use air chilled chicken here which tastes better IMO. The skin was thick and crispy which I really enjoyed and the flavors were really on point as well. The soy garlic isn't sweet which I like (I don't like sweet sauces on meats) and the spicy flavor was pretty good but it was spicy AF so I gave it to the bf. I am definitely coming back here again! read more

Bonchon Sunnyvale - 3 soy garlic and 2 spicy chicken legs - Chicken Wings Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

Got to go here and our experience wasn't too bad. My bf was craving Korean fried chicken and he reports that he really liked it. I thought it was decent but wow the spicy sauce was pretty spicy. Avoid if you can't handle this. The fries were not that great but not the worst I've had. The front people who helped us at the counter were ok but not the friendliest. I think they need to hire maybe two more people or maybe they're just unfriendly servers. There were two parties seated and two parties including us waiting at the front. I would go back to try the food while inside the restaurant to see if my experience is better. The dokboki texture wasn't the best. I feel like I've had better at the one in Los Angeles. read more

Very mediocre korean fried chicken is all I have to say about it. I was excited to try this place because I know it's pretty popular, but it was just meh. The restaurant itself is pretty small, but they have bar seating and TVs around the restaurant. There were a lot of people ordering to-go when I came in as well. Plaza is huge so it shouldn't be an issue finding parking. There are only two flavors - soy garlic and spicy. I got the pickled radish (a must when eating korean fried chicken) and cole slaw. I felt that the spicy flavor lacked flavor and was not spicy at all. Soy garlic was decent but I'm not too crazy about that flavor in general. Radish was good but could've been crunchier and cole slaw was just okay. Chicken itself was decently juicy but not crunchy enough for my liking! I'm so surprised how popular it is because I feel like I've had way better korean chicken at other places. I saw that they have some other korean dishes besides fried chicken that looked good, but I don't think I'll be coming back here. read more

I ordered to-go-order of medium half and half with wings and drum stick But what I got after the pick up, are some big drum stick ( more than 5 inch long) and very hard and chewy. It's been a while I ordered from them. At that time drum stick were less than 3.5 to 4 inch and meat was soft enough. The quality of the food went down a lot since then. I'll never buy from them any more! read more

Bonchon Sunnyvale - Hugh drumstick - Chicken Wings Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

Really want to like it more but I don't. Something about the breading I think. Might be the quality of the chicken-- not sure.

Consistently high quality KFC. So crispy and juicy and evenly sauced. My preference is bone-in. Their japchae and beef tacos are also delicious. Service is always friendly and they are very prompt with orders. read more

I have mixed feelings about this place. The sauce itself is tasty and the chicken nice and crispy, but the flavor is lacking. Though skin and glaze are delicious, but the meat is flavorless. There's just not enough of that saucy goodness on the chicken, and it was poorly distributed on all the pieces. I tried Bonchon just to say I tried it, but the chicken just isn't good enough to come back for. read more

IF YOU HAVE THE BUDGET! BONCHON CHICKEN IS THE WAY TO GO. I got the 12 piece boneless half soy garlic and half Korean bbq. It was so delicious. The soy garlic was especially tasty to me because it was so flavorful and succulent and I love how even though I picked up the food late and the chicken was still incredibly crunchy. The interior was also so juicy it tasted like a bone in wing. The Korean bbq was also great. It was super smoky and sweet and tasted amazing. The food was really good, but for its exorbitant price proportionate to the size the chicken. But if you have the budget please try. IT WAS AMAZING read more

Ambiance & atmosphere: It's a decently small restaurant. Not ideal for big groups. Ideal group is 4. They also have a bar. Service: Very friendly and prompt. Food & drinks: They don't have too many choices. They do cook their chicken very well. It's perfectly fried to a good temperature. Three different flavors for their chicken- Spicy, Sweet Crunch, Soy Garlic My favorite is their soy garlic. It's a classic. Sweet Crunch had a bit of sweet and a bit of crunch. Not enough to justify their name, imo. Spicy is good if you like spicy. It's pretty spicy. The level of spicy surprised me. You can choose wings, drumsticks, strips, boneless, or combo (wings + drumsticks). They have three sizes: small, medium, large. They also sell other things that are not chicken. We ordered their tteokbokki. Price: Small- $14 Medium- $27 Large- $39 read more

Get the extra glaze! Soy garlic mmm! Makes the chicken even crunchier. I was surprised at how empty the place was at 6:45pm Monday night. A friend of mine got a table 15 min beforehand and she was shocked too. Fast forward 1.5 hrs later and it's packed with multiple families/parties standing around the waiting area with tables being cleaned/moved left and right to accommodate new arrivals. Miss Vina and I both ordered small 10 piece wings (hers spicy, mine original soy garlic, extra glaze/sauce on both) with included crunchy diced daikon! Choice of side still available at this location! I heard SJ doesn't do that. We both got steamed rice rather than French fries, cole slaw, kimchi cole slaw, etc. My oh my that chicken is addicting! I'm one of those people that takes the skin off fried chicken. Not this chicken! So bad in fat/calories yet so sweet, tasty, and flavorful! Limiting my intake of Bonchon to a few times a year then? Hah, this is only my second time dining at this chain. I'm all for the wings. Didn't care much for the drums here. Jap chae with bulgogi beef was good! Meat/veggie to noodle ratio was great, could've used a bit more beef though. Lots of pepper! Newark location had too many veggies. I like how they didn't rush us despite the growing number of customers waiting. Will definitely return one day. read more

If you are someone who likes Korean food and particularly likes chicken wings, then Bon Chon chicken is a restaurant you must visit. The lines and wait times can be pretty awful, but if you plan ahead and come at a good time, then you will have no issues. The restaurant is small, not really great for big groups, but is comfortable if you can manage to get a small group or just a couple of friends. The prices are steadily increasing, so don't expect a cheap meal. They offer two different types of sauces: Soy Garlic or Spicy, and if you like Spicy then just know that it is actually has a spicy kick to it, not the "spicy" that some other restaurants classify which can only be accompanied by a sweet aftertaste. I usually get the spicy sauce with drumsticks and wings and then a side of rice to complement the chicken. They give you a side of coleslaw as well, which I think is okay. Overall, I think this is a restaurant that you should try if you want some good, garlic-tasting, or spicy chicken wings...Korean style! read more

This is the best Bonchon location the bay compared to other locations! I always recommend the Half-Spicy(Favorite) & Half-Soy Garlic so you can taste the best of both worlds! If you're a fan of the right amount of sauce & thin batter coating, Bonchon is definitely the right place! I really enjoyed the thin crispiness for the chicken wings & the pickled radish as a palette cleanser is great! Great place to stop by for drinks & wings after work & definitely always a good time! read more

I can't believe its a few days short of 4 yrs since I tasted the chicken. A friends bought a box worth and I didn't know where it was purchased when I took my first bite. I then was told it was bonchon. I still felt super perplexed over the popularity of this establishments Korean fried chicken.,No wonder....I wasn't a fan the first time and still not a fan. I've had others and say better, imho. In the 2 boxes I saw flaps with the wing tips and another boneless like tenders. I'm not a fan of seeing wing tips. I know ppl like gnawing on them, but for me it's odd and not appealing to the eyes. It was not meaty, almost skinny like and felt it was over-coated with breading/flour or batter. So with that in mind, I think ratio of meat to skin coating was not proportioned. I did like the daikon cubes. They were small diced and pickled lightly, so that it's easier to enjoy. Other than that, nothing else stands out to me. read more

Bonchon Sunnyvale - Yuck I’m not a fan of fried chicken tips. Chicken meat was minimal compared to the batter 0/5 - Chicken Wings Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

My aunt, my wife, and I were on El Camino looking for a simple place to eat and just thought Bonchon would be the spot. We dine in and the staff were quite attentive. The menu are access thru the Q Code on the table. We place an order on the medium combo, korean bulgogi taco, some season fries, and soft drinks. Quite pleasant with how our order were taken and how attentive one of the waitress was. Our meal came to our table about 10 minutes. All dishes look fabulous when it arrived to our table. The taste has never changed since I last came to this spot. I really love the taste of all our meal that we had. Really good spot to come hangout and chill with good food. I like this bon chon spot alot. Great eat! read more

Amazing tasting chicken- crispy crunchy on the outside, moist on the inside, and best of all- it's not greasy. Bonchon holds the key to properly fry chicken down to a science!! After my recent trip to SoCal and hitting up one of their Korean fried chicken hotspots, I realize that the 5+ hour drive wasn't necessary. Everything I wanted and sooo much more was right underneath my nose. The heavy traffic here clearly validates how amazing the chicken and dishes are here. I do not recommend coming here absolutely famished but you can avoid the wait by coming when the establishment opens. The restaurant is small but it does come equipped with a bar area. Chicken comes in two flavors so things don't get all complicated and difficult: garlic soy or spicy. You can't loose with either one but I'd recommend do go with half & half. Bonchon, Im not sure how you keep the skin super crispy even with the sauce drizzle but I'm sure glad you do.... This is the only place where I actually eat fried chicken skin and keep wanting more- two thumbs up!! read more

Great Korean chicken! My go to spot whenever I don't cook. They never disappoint. I'm glad this spot is nearby and the staff is always so friendly read more

Yum yum yum, Bonchon is delicious! When I tried bonchon, I was on a Korean Fried Chicken binge. Oh boy did this hit the spot when we placed an order togo! We actually had ordered togo since we had a large group of friends over. We ordered the large wings with half soy garlic and half spicy. This was definitely a large portion as we still had some leftover the next day. I really enjoyed the soy garlic flavor. It was garlicy and had a hint of spice but was also savory. The spicy wings were actually pretty spicy. Our friend group can handle spice but this was very very spicy the day we got it, it was still very good! The temperature of the food was lukewarm due to probably placing a large order togo. The wings come with your choice of radish or coleslaw and we chose the radish. I am a huge fan of radish, especially with some Korean Fried Chicken. I really enjoyed the large portion. It is great when you have large groups and need something to snack on. Although, it is a little bit on the pricer side, I do have to mention that. However, I do not mind paying a steeper price for better quality chicken. read more

Popular chicken place! As with all the other bonchon locations, this place gets packed really quickly! It often has a lot of folks standing waiting outside, in large groups of 5-10 folks. The chicken is as usual really tasty. Each chicken piece is Huge. The outside is crunchy, and marinated well with spicy sauce. Washing it down with some cold sapporo beer is heaven. The serve staff folks are nice. Food comes quickly. There is not a lot of tables inside, but they are quite clean. Overall, a good bonchon location. read more

I came back here last week. I've been to a few other Bonchon's since but this one just hits the spot! Just a tip - the drumsticks are surprisingly large so do not underestimate the portions. It's a good problem to have. We were mildly hungry and ordered the medium but would have probably been better off with a small. I reheated the leftovers in the oven the next day...and they tasted almost as good as fresh! It still had a satisfying crunch. Soy garlic just has that ability to transcend time. :) read more

Chicken!!!!!!!!!! Korean fried chicken is either really good or a nasty greasy mess and I've found it must be hard to get it right. This place gets it right. I would love to open a franchise in Omaha, but I don't need that, I'm trying to loose weight and a really good Korean fried chicken wing place in Omaha would ruin any kind of diet I'm trying to be on. The store is clean and the staff is nice, efficient and helpful. Food is cooked to order, so expect to wait, but it's worth it. It was annoying that the combos come with only 2 side choices, anything else you have to pay extra. If you are our and about and want some chicken, you need to go to Bonchon, you won't be disappointed. read more

First time having Bonchon in CA! (I think my first time was in NY) The place is a little small, and we came during the lunch rush, so there was a slight wait, although only about ~15 minutes or so. Spicy/ soy garlic wings and drums: To be honest, I expected the size of the chicken wings/drums to be bigger, considering this was a Korean chicken place. While some pieces were a decent size, we did get at least 3-4 that were pretty minuscule. Flavor-wise, it was really good. The spiciness of the wings is no joke and had me reaching for my water after every piece. It was still enjoyable though, and super addicting! The soy garlic was pretty good, not too salty, and very flavorful. I love that the chicken skin wasn't overly battered and was super crispy. Sauce was perfect, this place neither skimped on it nor drenched the chicken in it. Bulgogi Korean tacos: Pretty good! I was quite pleasantly surprised at how big they were too, since I was expecting tiny tacos. Flavor was pretty good, although the wings are the real winner here, haha. Service was fine, and it wasn't too hard to find parking since it's located in a plaza. I would definitely come back if I was in the area and craving some wings! read more

I love that the drumsticks and wings that Bonchon uses haven't been subjected to this shrinking phenomenon that seems to be happening at every other fried chicken establishment out there. Sure there were some pieces that were a little smaller but it's been a long time since I've seen a drumstick that big at a restaurant! I have to admit that I've lived in the Bay Area for a while and haven't had Bonchon. We have come by on a few different occasions but the wait was crazy so we wound up seeking alternatives nearby. This time we came for a later lunch on a Saturday afternoon and while there was a wait for the dining room, we were able to snag some seating at the bar. If you want to eat with a bigger group, you might consider ordering for take out. While we were sitting at the bar we watched them churn out take out orders like no other! I wound up sharing a small combo of soy garlic flavored chicken with radishes on the side. The small comes with 6 wings and 3 drumsticks. Just so we weren't eating only chicken, we also ordered a side of fries. The chicken came out promptly. It was hot but not too hot to dig in to immediately. The breading on the chicken is a little different than at other K(orean)FC type places that I've had. The skin part wasn't exactly crispy but it was a sheet of nicely fried skin. It kind of comes off really easily like a sheath. Super weird description I know. It was really good though and the soy garlic was a good choice. I did like having the radishes after every piece to reset for another trip to flavor town. We were almost done our chicken when we noticed that we still hadn't gotten our fries. The server that was helping us out immediately checked with the kitchen and let us know our order had slipped through the cracks and that she'd get it rectified immediately. The fries came out piping hot not long after. It was a pretty big portion and I'm not sure that we really needed it to be full to be honest. Our server was really well spoken and courteous, I'm wondering if she was the manager because she was so good at handling everything that very hectic day! read more

I met with my friends here at 7pm on a Sunday. Everybody was thinking the same thing since it was crowded. Parking was not an issue. We waited for a few minutes before we were seated at a table in the back. This place could seat up to 48 people so it wasn't that big. The menu was simple and they were sold out of chicken strips. We decided on large wings ($33.95) with half and half sauce. One was soy garlic and the other was spicy. It came with sides so we got three kimchi coleslaw. Our food came out fairly quickly and it looked like it was a lot but for the four of us, it was no problem. The spicy ones were spicy but not spicy enough for you to be sweating (most people anyways I think). The soy garlic was the more popular one at our table since that was the first to be finished. If you don't like spicy then soy garlic would be the only other option you had. The staff here were nice and friendly. I thought the food here was good and wouldn't mind coming back to try other items on the menu. read more

OMMG... my bf's brother has been bugging us to get bonchon ever since last year or something, but we never listened and to be honest, why didn't we listen? BONCHON IS SO FRICKEN GOOD. I've been here only five times, but all five times were great because i had their soy garlic chicken! (: my parents were obsessed with wingstop, like my bf and I...but after they tried bonchon, they were like.... "why get wingstop when you can get bonchon instead...?" LOL Anyway... definitely try this place out if you haven't already. It does get crowded during dinner hours and you may have to park farther away, but there IS parking. I think the longest I've waited was around 30 minutes?? and I don't think they take reservations.. read more

This is usually our go to place when we crave Korean Style Fried Chicken. I have a friend that loves this place so we used to come here quite often. They make the best Soy Garlic flavor chicken and I haven't found a place that can beat it. I'm usually biased towards this place whenever I try something else. The combos are the best where you can get chicken and a choice of side. I would opt for the rice because personally I don't like their coleslaw and kimchi as much. It doesn't taste as fresh as I would've hoped for. Usually busy during dinner time but service has always been adequately quick and friendly when we come. Restaurant is fairly spacious with several table seating. read more

Yummy yummy! who doesn't love Korean Fried Chicken? Love their spicy and garlic soy flavor!

Definitely pair it with some sides to tone it down, I recommend the coleslaw to pair with the chicken~ read more

I've tried this place years ago but was never something I craved often until the year 2019. Their soy garlic strips are crispy, full of flavor, and never dry! The chicken is best enjoyed with their spicy mayo, pickled radish, and bowl of rice. Since the pandemic, my boyfriend and I have been enjoying meals to-go; packaging is great and the chicken didn't get soggy from travel time. When we would dine-in, we'd always enjoy our meal with lychee soju. Best Bonchon location, hands down! read more

Super convenient location close to home. Great customer service. They know me by name

I was a huge fan of Bonchon since the first time I tried it, so decided to come here for dinner with a few friends. This place is cheap and yummy for groups, so that's a huge plus. On the other hand, this location is small which meant we had a good 45 minute wait until we were seated for a table of four on a Saturday night. The four of us shared the large combo with 8 drumsticks and 15 wings ($34). We got them half spicy and half soy garlic flavored to pair with the included pickled radish sides and 3 more: kimchi coleslaw, coleslaw, and an extra pickled radish. We also got a pitcher of Lagunitas IPA ($16) for the table. We were all stuffed by the end of the meal and barely finished everything. I like that the chicken pieces are thick, but I found them rather dry this time around. In addition, the spicy didn't taste spicy, yet it left a numbing taste that I didn't like. Nonetheless, a good deal for some Korean fried chicken. Next time, I'd order to-go and also that the chicken isn't as dry (hopefully it was a bad visit). P.S. 10% off at Sharetea next door with your Bonchon receipt. read more

Bonchon Sunnyvale - Large Combo Drumsticks and Wings with Pickled Radish, Kimchi Coleslaw & Coleslaw. - Chicken Wings Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

This place is the legit KFC (Korean Fried Chicken)... worth the wait and worth the drive for crispy, moist, and delicious fried chicken. Seriously, if you haven't tried it yet, you're missing out, just be prepared for the place to be crazy busy. As a family of four, we did the large combo with half soy garlic and half spicy. It comes with 15 wings and 4 drumsticks, and 3 sides. Great quantity to feed the family. I cannot speak for the soy garlic as I did not get to try them (half of us can't handle spice)... but the spicy ones were DELICIOUS. They really were spicy and it was slightly more painful to eat them compared to what I'm used to (my eyes were watering), but they were so delicious I couldn't stop. Even when the spice built up. The skin is amazing, really crunchy and crispy... yet it's not too greasy like your usual KFC/Popeye's. Then there's the sauce which... pretty much ties it all together with the moist meat. I was pretty much in Asian chicken wing heaven. The free pickled daikon goes amazingly well with the fried chicken - as the menu says, it helps to cool off from the spiciness and is a refreshing break from the savory chicken. I also liked the kimchi cole slaw - it has a little bit of spice, but in reality it was more like your regular cole slaw with a pinch of Asian spice for color and flavor. Rice is well... rice. It's the short grained rice that's sticky and goes great with the chicken. Chicken and rice FTW. I was amazed how busy this place was on a Wednesday night - got here at 7 pm and the place was PACKED for a weekday. There was a wait list for seating and we ended up waiting for like 25-30 minutes. They really try to seat everyone in order, so if there's a group of 7+, they'll seat them first before seating anyone in the less than 4 tables. Makes sense but really annoying when there's an empty table staring at you... Again, if you live nearby get take out... otherwise anticipate a wait, even on a weekday. Still, it was worth the wait for delicious fried chicken. If it wasn't a bit of a drive I'd be willing to come here for lunch as they have a great lunch combo, but I imagine it's packed even more during that time! read more
