    Fried chicken

    I really like this place, but this is the second time I've received food like this. Based on my cooking experience, the black color suggests the food was fried in old oil that had been reused too many times. I didn't feel comfortable eating it because it can be unhealthy. I wasn't planning to leave a review, but I think it's important to mention this for the sake of other customers. I hope the restaurant improves this issue.

    Dry chicken

    Overnight refried chicken. Extremely dry. Ordered for 3 drums + 6 wings. Came with 3 drums + 6 small drums. 3 drums were barely edible. Small drums are not edible.

    Final Thoughts: 4.47/5 We've been to Bon Chon lots of times now. This is my first time coming to this specific location though. Apparently this is their first location, but no one quote me on that. Simple lunch/dinner meal. Overall, good experience from beginning to end. Food: Mixed 6 Wings and 3 Drumsticks: 4.5/5 Personal preference for me is the combination of drumsticks and wings, so you get a little bit of everything. These flavors are also a fave for me. We got half yangnyeom and half soy garlic today. The yangnyeom sauce is one of their newer flavors that I've tried. Similar to soy garlic, but with a Korean sweet and spicy kick. Quite umami; nice balance of sweet, salty, and spicy. For the garlic soy, this is always a solid option for me since it is one of the original flavors. The flavor is like a teriyaki sauce. Sweet sticky soy sauce with the flavor of garlic mixed in. That combined with the crispy chicken is really good. My one note though is that I don't think the chicken itself is seasoned enough before frying. This means that all of the flavor is on the outside skin. Once you get to the actual meat of the chicken, there's not much flavor on it at all. Perhaps this is where some additional dipping sauces will help. It's not too big of a concern because the coating of sauce on the outside does a really nice job with adding flavor, but it was just something that I've consistently observed. The chicken is also very crispy. My friend mentioned that the batter and outside crust seems to be thicker. Small note, but something I do appreciate is that they specifically label which sauce is which with a little toothpick "flag". This is genuinely what I need because I can usually never tell which items are which when given to me all at once or on the same plate. Fried Shrimp Shumai: 4.0/5 Simple appetizer item for us. They give you the option for steamed or fried and we went with the fried option today for that crisp. Quite nice presentation. The dumplings are placed on a bed of shredded cabbage with spicy mayo and soy garlic sauce. The flavors work quite nicely together. Perhaps the shrimp was too finely chopped because there wasn't really a bite or crunch to any big pieces of shrimp. That or the dumplings were too small to have those bigger pieces be filled inside. The sauces were nice. Spicy mayo was very light. Just a slight kick to it. Soy garlic was flavor was also very light and contributes nicely as a sauce. For texture, I like the different components. The cabbage added some crunch and a little freshness to it that we could eat with the dumplings. The shumai was also very crispy and it wasn't hard or dry. Coleslaw: 2.9/5 This is one of their complimentary sides. This or the pickled radish. Personally, I like the radish for that tartness and crunch. We did go with coleslaw today. It wasn't bad. I'm just not too fond of the excess liquid that pools. Flavor gave the meal some freshness. The veggies added another texture component too. --------- Quality: Aight They quality is alright. When the chicken and shumai came out, both items were not piping hot like they just came out of the frier. It felt more as if it came from out of the food warmer. Perhaps I would be more alright with this and can pass this off if the place were packed and very busy, but it wasn't at the time that we went. Usually the chicken would be hot to touch, but it wasn't and that goes the same for the shumai. Not that I would want to burn my tongue, but temperature does affect quality for me. Price: Depends; could lean both ways It'll depend on what you get. Again, this was a simple lunch/dinner meal, so we really didn't eat that much. For the three of us, it was $39 total including tax and tip. If you do decide to get other or more items, it might end up leaning on the more expensive side. Service: Pleasant Our waitress was very sweet and cute. We were able to sit where we liked perhaps because it wasn't super busy at the time. She refilled our waters, got our food items out as they were done, and checked on us. Ambiance: Late night adventure vibes Typical little fried chicken restaurant. This is honestly the scene that I imagine for a late night adventure. Dim interior, quite spacious, and just enough tables to fill the space with optimal room to walk between the tables and seats. I like their choice of music because they were playing BTS. Anything with BTS shall always be my preference. Location/Parking: Spacious It's located inside of a plaza and right at the corner of the top right corner of the side when you're looking from the street inward. There are some other restaurants and shop in this plaza and the plaza across too. Parking was not an issue on a Sunday before Labor Day and at midafternoon time. I'm not sure if the holidays affected this, but there are many spaces left in this parking lot when we got there. We definitely don't go here often enough to judge, but perhaps it'll depend on the time and day though.

    Wings
    Erick L.

    Had a large order of the Soy Garlic Wings to snack on with the family before my son's baseball game. I enjoy the light, crispy batter on their wings with that sweet, savory glaze. I forgot someone had recommended I get them double glazed, which definitely would have taken these wings to another level as the flavor was lacking a little. Next time I want to try those Bulgogi Fries which looked delicious, with of course some wings double glazed. Service was friendly. Our order was out within 15 minutes, which was a plus as we needed to get to the game.

    An old, poor tasting "chicken strip".
    Kent H.

    I've been eating here for all my 13 years in Silicon Valley. Tonight's dinner will be my last time eating here. From the last time, maybe 2 months ago, the sizes of everything has gotten smaller, which I wouldn't mind as much if the food tasted the same; tonight's food was awful. I only eat white meat chicken and what I got tonight, tasted like a cheap knock off. The last strip that I had fell apart in the first bite, it wasn't fresh at all and tasted simply, like old chicken.

    Chicken strips with the soy and garlic sauce
    Peter N.

    The chicken strips with the soy and garlic sauce, with the Korean coleslaw was incredibly delicious. It had that slightly sweet, really savory, crispy flavor and texture. I'm so confused how anyone could eat that and have anything to complain about. This was literally the best chicken I've had in over a year, and I go to restaurants at least 2 times per week. It was fantastic!

    Liang G.

    Ordered a few times via Doordash. Price is reasonable. Some flavor is a little too sweet. Soy Garlic is my go-to option.

    Cynthia W.

    Delicious Korean chicken place! Have been here a few times and it never disappoints. Staffs are super friendly and they told us we can choose how many pieces we want for one sauce and then for the other sauce. Ambiance: few tables inside. They get quite busy even for a weekday night. Lots of people getting to-go too. Huge parking lot outside so easy to find a spot.

    Jenny T.

    Bonchon standing on business as per usual at this location - the chicken and onion rings were both delightfully crispy. The rice was not dry. The spicy mayo was kicking! Radish was delicious too. Service was great! Ambience is casual and chill. Still my favorite Bonchon!

    Hours of Service

    Arrived at 8:50pm. Hours state that they are open until 9pm. Staff told me that the kitchen is already closed. Please change your hours of operation to reflect the hours you will actually be opened and serving guests until. Not a good business model to turn away paying customers during your posted hours of service.

    Heard so much about this place and so happy we got to try it finally…read more Right when you walk in you are hit with refined and opulent vibes. Gold and wooden tones with clean white booths. The service was top notch even as they were busy. As we were waiting for the host, another patron came and stood in front of us to which the host noticed right away and politely and professionally took us in first. We were seated and our waitress was as professional as many fine dining restaurants with impeccable posture and attentiveness while taking our order. It's really the little things that set great places apart. Food: -Chilean sea bass twigim - like the most airy and crisp fried fish I've ever had matched with the butteriness of the fish itself Yookhweh - pretty good but came out slightly frozen still. Needed to warm up a bit to get more tender. Galbi - so rich yet tender with sweet and savory sauce, super delicious and it came with lettuce wraps Seafood tofu - a bombshell of flavors with big succulent portions of seafood, the tofu itself was actually quite special, soft like silken tofu, but still had good body and a bit of firmness. It tasted super clean. Spicy pork Bibimbap - delicious as well but less vegetables then we've seen other places. This was super filling and rich. For me to standouts for the tofu soup and twigim but the overall experience was top-notch and I can't wait to go back. I just want to try everything on their menu

    for the 30 min wait on a long weekend monday, and the amount of korean i heard while waiting, i…read moreexpected more from this place. the seafood pancake was great, the thickest one i've had probably with crispy exterior and soft interior, but they could use more seafood and less scallion in the batter. dak galbi flavors felt rather sweet but very tenderly cooked, i would recommend asking them at the end to make it into kimchi fried rice. i think the sour taste from the kimchi made the fried rice yummier than the actual chicken itself. do not get the bossam, it just felt weird that napa cabbage is not complimentary with the dish and the pork didn't really smell good? also partially our bad that we said yes when they asked whether we're okay getting it with oysters which basically came out half frozen and didn't taste fresh.

    I think I've been sleeping on some traditional Korean food. I thought i had a good grasp of what…read morewas good and what was a pass for me. Today was a new experience. This marks my first day having real Soondae. I had it twice before around the El Camino Koreatown area but it was always too light, cold, no flavor.. But here at JangTu, i found the one i love. It was warm, soft and delectable. Normally i love Jokbal over everything but the Soondae was better than the Jokbal to me. Even then, the Jokbal had good flavor. FYI, we mixed it with the Raboki sauce.... heaven! Great service! Super nice and attentive! Made the experience great! Also got the Octopus Intestine Soup, but i do think personally prefer Gamjatang more. I will come back to get it next time With hot soup and heavy cuts of meat, of course gotta get NangMyeon! Washed it all down like a refreshing soda! Great time, will be back for my 2nd time soon

    This is one of my fave places in this Korean plaza!…read more I always find service to be so friendly and kind. They are a small team but do their best to chat with you and make recommendations. We typically get a 1-meat combo which is more than enough for our 2-3 person family. The portions are huge and the banchan is refilled so unless you're craving tons of different meats, no need to order a ton more. I also love their tofu soup, it's not too oily and also keeps well if you have leftovers. The interior is clean and well kept so you'll be comfy with a group anywhere from 2-6 people. Larger groups might be harder to accomodate but I've never had to reserve for under 6.

    The foods were good but I do not like the services here at all…read more There are 4 Korean restaurants in the same plaza which kinda weird because they all serves almost the same atmosphere. We came here around 5:30PM so we did not wait for a table of 5 at all. We wanted to order the package B which comes with 3 protein of choice with add on ramen and cold noodles but they refused to let us order package B but insisted us to order package C which comes with 4 protein of choices. I and my niece don't eat meat so package B was good for us. There are 5 of us but 2 of us don't eat meat, we basically eat the banchan with the sauces. I do not like how they handle the situation at all! I clearly told them I don't eat meat so package B was good for us and they refused. We can not finished with 4 protein for package C which had a lot of left over afterward. The galbi was $9 add on more which the portion are small and over cooked! The grilled chicken was okay, the pork belly and the beef brisket overly thin slices below average quality. The best part of this was the banchan they were given, the potatoes salad was delicious. The hot sauce was very good. I just add all the banchan with white rice and hot sauce to make the best Bibimbap ever. The cold noodles were excellent just like how it tasted in Korea. When my daughter gets up to pay for the bill, they expected us to tip them 18% instead of 15% because there are were party 5 of us. You lucky that we even tip you 15% while we felt the services was horrible! Overall, I like the foods here but the service was not right!
