    Very crispy sweet potato waffle fries
    Gina A.

    Tried this place yesterday. Went with a group of 9. Had good service. The chicken was really crispy and good portions. The sauce was delicious, we also got seasoned fries and sweet potato fries. All was nice quality and very good. We will be back when in the area for sure.

    Great Korean fried chicken. Very friendly place. The noodle dish was okay, beef was tender.

    Bulgogi Fries

    This place has been on my radar for a while. So while we were in the area we decided to try it. I was so excited to try it. We were quickly seated and things started to look a little off. For one, a worker was at one of the tables looking like a nurse with gloves and other restaurant bags of food at the table. She was helping an older woman eat and care for her. Anyway, on to the food. We ordered the chicken, 2 different flavors. We also started with the bulgogi fries and bao buns. The fries looked weird when it came. The cheese wasn't melted like we had thought but maybe that's just how it's served? The flavor was ok but not something I'd ever order again. The bao buns were also just ok. The meat to bun ratio is off. Please add more meat so we're getting more of the flavors rather than just the bun. Also, it was a little wet and mushy. The chicken is where it's at. Great flavor and you can't go wrong. If we stuck with just the chicken, this would've been a five star review. Unfortunately, we'd probably not stop here again because there are wayy too many great restaurants out there.

    Came into Bonchon, right near our house for a quick dinner at the bar. I had the tofu, fried, Bibimbap and my husband had the five drumsticks. With a couple of beers to wash it down. Great food! I asked for one additional sauce for my dish as it was a little light on seasoning. I should've only used half of the next one. It became very spicy with two. So just be warned. If you like your dishes, very spicy ask for two sauces, if you can finish it. All in all great dish, great service. Come out and enjoy some Korean food.

    Very patient waitress even when dealing with less than knowledgeable customers while serving the whole place all alone. Food came out fast, extremely crispy chicken.

    My cousin brought dinner and I had never heard of this place so I was intrigued when she walked through the door with it. She got fried rice and soy Ginger wings. The rice was good, a typically chain fried rice. It kinda gave me Trader Joe's fried rice vibes but a little bit better. The chicken was cooked well, perfectly crispy and sauced. The sauce was a little on the salty side but it was still good. I didn't pick up the food or go into the restaurant so I have no feedback on service or ambiance.

    JOSH is the man!!! He was awesome from start to end. We walked in for lunch, and we were seated right away. I was excited to find this Bonchon location in Tempe, which is about 8 minutes from the Lexus dealership in Chandler. After some negotiations at the dealership, of course we got hangered. Thanks to my trusty Yelp app for steering us in the right direction! We got 2 Combo Lunch Specials, which come with 8 wings. We chose Soy Garlic and Korean BBQ for the sauces. For our sides, we got the Pickled Radish (because it's a sin NOT to, lol!) and the Seasoned Fries, which is an extra $2, but worth it! The Japchae was a must-have, so we ordered one to eat and another to-go for later. In comparison to other locations, it was a little greasy, but overall, had that signature Bonchon flavor. Everything was delicious! The chicken was really crispy on the outside and cooked thoroughly on the inside. No pink middles here! I always have to get the radish because it complements the chicken so well, especially the KBBQ since it had a slight kick to it. I asked Josh for extra, and he came through! I appreciate that awesome service! We were glad to have come at the right time. It was a Tuesday and not busy at all for lunch. The restaurant is clean and bright. There's a parking lot right outside, and the prices are competitive. I would definitely come back here and highly recommend it if you're craving some amazing, CRISPY, and FLAVORFUL chicken cooked perfectly! If you see Josh, tell him I said wassup & I'll be back sooner or later! ;)

    I ordered takeout here for the first time! Super delish. Service was nice while I waited. The only thing is they didn't give any utensils or even napkins... not even offered. Overall nice. Food is very yummy! I look forward to taking my family next time! We're big on wings and I just love that Korean Wings are extra crispy! Plus they have bulk deals for big families so that's great! I will definitely be returning.

    I love this chicken. I didn't eat there but got it all to go. I love the spicy chicken and daikon. I don't know about eating there but it seeming clean and not too crowded when I went there. If you don't mind getting your sweat on while eating delicious fried chicken then this is your place!

    While still a great stop for some great food I felt a lot of our items were over cooked this time. My bao buns while flavorful the meat could've been cooked a tad less. It was a bit tough to chew. The potstickers were amazing with half and half of the sauces. My bibimbap spicy and delicious. Service was good and Amy delay was addressed. Vibe is pretty basic, but welcoming and enjoyable. Prices fair for the amount of food you receive.

    Chicken Sandwich with slaw
    Ethan J.

    Ordered for the Second time this week tonight got the chicken sandwich , fried rice , an the cinnamon donut things . The inky thing I wish is that it had more slaw. Definitely check them out if your looking for for some amazing chicken and fried rice

    Love starting with the biggie fries

    The restaurant offers a wonderful tape on crispy chicken. The sauces add value and I have never been disappointed here. A group from work go with me once or twice a month and we have to say the service is fantastic. A very family familiar atmosphere where they almost greet You by name. We always brought new employees to join us. The bugogie fries are fantastic.

    It isn't my first time eating Bonchon but it was my first time eating at this location. Sooo happy my boyfriend took me here because it was an orgasm in my mouth! We ordered the half & half which are the spicy and soy garlic. BOTH ARE CRISPY AND PACKED WITH FLAVORRRR Service was A1! Employees worked diligently among each other, also attentive and friendly staff. As for the ambiance - clean settings, nice music and family friendly. We'll most definitely come back for the great wings and awesome service :)

    I recently (last week) visited San Tung in San Francisco for the deep-fried chicken. It was delicious and the sweet sticky sauce that the chicken came in was just what I was looking for. Does Bonchon offer the sweet sticky sauce with the chicken?

    Kinda. They have a flavor, yangnyeom, that was sweet and sticky, but a lil spicy towards the end. Good flavor overall.

    Do they use MSG?

    Just eat the food your not going to die!

    Can I call ahead to order takeout? I can't seem to find the location's number.

    Yes. You can. I just did it today. The number is 480-361-9282.

Btw avid Gen go-er at the Tempe location from 2021 and been going to Gens from California Cerritos location since 2016. My to-go experience: I ordered uber eats pickup for a bogo 4 meat special. As soon as I walk in the app is telling me the food is ready, however I notice it's busy so no worries on an extra wait I can go walk around the marketplace. I'm waiting as the hostess is attending to people there, again no worries. She acknowledges me and I tell her I have the pickup, she instantly says I don't know about your order, they usually bring it up (to the front desk) or we have to grab it from the back. So I ask if she knows how much longer the order will be, and she almost cuts me off saying as you can see we're really busy so I don't know. I then ask if there's any system or way to check how much longer and she gives me a disgusted look and says again "we're busy so I don't know 10 minutes? I can't say, so yeah" and looks away mad. I don't mind if a place is busy, but if it's gonna be 30 minutes vs 3 minutes I would appreciate knowing so I can know when to be there to pickup. It took approx another 8 minutes till the food was ready. I don't mind the wait, however asking how long the food will be and having the ability to walk 1 minute into the kitchen and asking is not a crazy expectation, let alone being rude about it. She literally sat there looking at the table sheet after the interaction. I would get if there was a line of people but when I talked to her I was the only person in the front! My dine in experience: All I have to say about this one was my friend and I arrived around 11:05am for the lunch special and there were 4 groups ready to eat. We were the second ones in line and got seated 5th (another couple walked in and they sat them first). We were attended to 4 times after the initial introduction, 3 of them I had to wave them down because they kept forgetting to bring stuff and would ignore us. They had three servers plus the manager on duty. All in all this place had gone downhill the past three years and has not been the same. I usually go to mana but sometimes I like to check back in to see if it returns to it's former glory like the Chandler location, however I don't think management hires enough waiters and they have poor communication within the facility, as well as a RUDE FRONT DESK lady (only one of them, the other I didn't talk to). Take my advice as you will, but there are other options that absolutely take the cake over this place.

Any waiter that hears the bell comes to your table to assist. The response never took longer than 20 seconds most of the time. To start the appetizer tray at the beginning is an awesome touch that I'm not used to in other places I have tried. It kind of took the guess work out of ordering in my opinion so I only had to focus on what meat or dish I wanted since my sides were already selected and refillable for free through the course of the meal. We ordered the seafood sundubu, beef bulgogi, and sweat and spicy korean fried chicken wings. The portion size was very generous on the wings and on the crispier side which my wife prefers. The seafood sundubu was delicious and was pleasantly surprised to see a decent amount of tofu and seafood types in the dish. The beef bulgogi was also tasty and as I said before just scratched that korean food craving that we had. This has been added to our rotation of date night locations for us!

On the table there is a button to call the waiter for ordering or for any other needs. Each Korean restaurant seems to offer a bit of variety in their dishes, and sometimes a specialty dish that the others Korean restaurants do not. We started off with seafood pancake and it had shrimp, octopus and large green onion. I would have appreciated a bit more seafood, but it was cooked crispy on the outside and nice and thick. The dipping sauce was very good. We ordered beef bulgogi ssam-bap (serves 2) which traditionally can be eaten with a lettuce wrap, garlic and ssamjang (non-spicy red paste). It arrived with a diverse tray of greens, perilla leaves and carrots, samjang and garlic. The greens were enough to feed kennel of at least four rabbits. The beef was a fair amount however it was overcooked. It also arrived with a soup and ban chan of 8 items. These provide a variety of the traditional side dishes, or ban chan of Korean food. We also ordered a cold namyeong soup with a side of kalbi. The soup had daikon radish and is traditionally eaten in the summer. The kalbi had the tender soft meat that is its highlight. Overall, we had a great experience and while Korean food is traditionally a meal that runs about $20 a person, it has an aesthetic presentation, it is flavorful, especially with umami, and it is fairly healthy. I would definitely return again and it is a great place to enjoy the meal with other others.

It seemed to be forgotten. What really stood out was that we ended up eating dessert with a table full of dirty dishes still sitting in front of us and empty drinks that had not been refilled. I also noticed that the table next to us appeared to receive much more attentive service. Their drinks were refilled, their dishes were cleared promptly, and staff regularly checked on them to see if they needed anything. In comparison, our table received very little attention. I don't know why there was such a difference in service. It left me wondering whether we were being treated differently, though I can't say for certain. Overall, the food was excellent, but the service was disappointing and significantly affected our experience. (Server was Dhillon T.)

We were nearby for a show, and decided to stop in on a Wednesday evening for a late dinner with some friends. They have a good happy hour menu, and my friends ordered off there, but I was craving sushi so I got the nigiri omakase. It came with miso soup, which I enjoyed, definitely hard to go wrong there. The sushi itself was decent, nothing crazy, but definitely better than grocery store quality. The tuna and salmon pieces were a little fishy, maybe not the freshest, but it was also quite late (~10pm) so I wasn't expecting too much. Beautifully presented, and the cuts were quite large which was nice! The food came out pretty fast, and the service was pleasant. The restaurant vibes are pretty dark, and moody. The bathroom was kind of scary personally, super dark and a little messy, so I decided to wait till I got home. Overall, a solid experience, and definitely a good choice if I am in the area.
