Bonchon is such a welcome addition to the Union community. Everyone needs to keep in mind that the store just opened - only 3 weeks ago - so there will be some kinks they need to work out, and mistakes happen to the best of us. That being said - so many of my friends and I were so excited to hear about the "soft" opening on Easter Sunday. At the time, they just had the wings, and they were delicious! Even though the menu does state that the chicken is made to order and it may take up to 35 minutes, our order was completed in a timely fashion. The manager and his staff are very friendly and anxious to hear about your experience. He explained how the items on the menu would be introduced item by item, so that they would taste just right. Even though they only had the wings on the menu for the soft opening, we were so excited that Bon Chon was even open, as we had been anxiously awaiting opening day. At this point, nearly everything on the menu is available, and there is more decor on the walls, not that the latter matters, in my opinion. It is very clean. The staff are very attentive to your needs. That is very important to me. Understanding that this is considered Korean "fast food", I think it is delicious. The bulgogi was tasty, as was the House Fried Rice, and the BipBimBap. The potstickers are beyond delicious. I personally prefer the strips but others in my family enjoy the wings. If you like spicy - definitely try the "hot" version of the items. If not, the soy garlic is just as tasty. I have been there several times since they have opened and will continue to go back. I know they have provided large quantities of chicken for gatherings for myself and my friends and there have only been compliments! Try this place! You won't be disappointed... read more

I've been to bonchon a couple times now, and let me say I've yet to be disappointed. Food is consistent, employees are friendly and the place is clean with lots of seats. I always get the Hot and Spicy boneless chicken with French fries(my favorite) I've tried the soy garlic chicken but I must say not my choice of flavor. this place satisfies my cravings but I must say it is in need of DIPPING SAUCES!!! chicken with no dip? Hmmmmm read more

As someone who has spent a lot of time in NYC, I've always loved Bonchon so when I found out one was opening in Union I was immediately excited.. this place definitely lives up to the hype. Just be aware that every order is made fresh every time so be prepared to wait unless you call ahead of time... read more

Welcome, Happy to see you in this neck of the woods Been a fan for years. This location been open just over a week been twice love it. I know you must work out some kinks two suggestions for the previous reviewer If your not a fan of fried chicken why go ? Common sense. Two, I want the crispness of the chicken but want the juicy lovely chicken as well. Don't Kill the bird!!! growing pains see you soon read more

This place is great! The food was spicy and delicious. The staff was super friendly and helpful. It's very clean and we didn't have to wait long for hot food. The other reviewers are crazy I think this is goin to be a regular spot for us. read more

The fried chicken tastes good but a little pricy. But still enough for a lunch . Will go if I miss fried chicken

Tasty but they were dry and fried too hard for me. I bought them just before they closed on a Saturday night. Maybe they had been sitting there for awhile. Who knows? Other than that, it's real tough to think how all these wing places charge $1 per chicken wing! It's amazing how restaurants separate a full chicken wing into 2 parts (wingette and drumette) and charge $1 apiece. I bought a large box to take to a fight. $32.95 for '30' wings. :-( read more

I ordered the 10 piece wings and 5 drumstick combination to go with chicken fried rice after recommending a fellow coworker. I received 4 drumsticks and 5 wings only. I contacted the store and text messaged the pictures of the below food. I never received any word back even the night after and unfortunately I won't return. I compensated my coworker. The food is delicious but this really disappointed I paid almost $30 for it all plus $5 for bubble tea. read more

Not fresh! Went to Bonchon for lunch today following a close friends recommendation. I was not pleased at all. I had the chicken wings with soy garlic glaze and they were disappointing. They had the crunch of a very well cooked chicken wing but that's about it. I was surprised that they said it was only going to take 5 mins for the order to come out since the menu clearly states all the chicken is cooked to order....but obviously not ours because it was literally 5 mins or less for our wings and chicken strips to be ready. The chicken lacked enough glaze so there wasn't barely a taste to them and when we asked for more sauce we were told the sauce couldn't leave the kitchen unless it was on the chicken. My friend who recommended the place had the spicy glaze so maybe that was the difference but the proof of freshness was definitely lacking with pre-cooked wings being served. read more

I feel terrible for writing this review but it's because I was so disappointed with the tteokbokki I ordered. I always order chicken wings from this place and I have to say it's the best chicken wings I've ever had and I am addicted. But the one time I decided to order something else besides my usually and I ended up hating it. I've had tteokbokki before so I know how it's supposed to taste and look. They gave me a bland,runny and spice less soup and the ramen noodles was over cooked and broken into pieces. They basically gave me soup with rice cakes that weren't even soft. I was so disappointed, I love Korean food but I don't think I'll be ordering from them again. read more

There food is well seasoned. Good vibes and a nice place to sit and eat with friends and family.

Really good korean fried chicken in northern nj. Don't have to drive to Edison or Palisades park to get my korean fried chicken fix. Only downfall is that they don't deliver, and a bit pricey compared to regular kfc or popeyes. They have the soy garlic, and spicy chicken wings which are really spicy! read more

Love bonchon. It's the most crispy chicken wings ever. The spicy is really spicy so be careful.

I have mixed feelings about this restaurant. I've ordered the Bonchon chicken strips several times and it's truly hit or miss. One night I ordered a 20 piece with soy garlic sauce and only about 10 pieces were edible. Some of the chicken was over cooked, however the soy garlic sauce was absolutely delicious. It seems as though the smaller pieces of chicken are cooked along with the larger pieces of chicken. The larger pieces are cooked perfectly, meanwhile the smaller pieces get over cooked. The side of pickled radish is not my cup of tea. The house fried rice is worth trying. I've had better, I've had worse. The chicken sliders are tasty, I would definitely order them again. The seasoned fries are always good; They are seasoned with fresh parsley and Parmesan cheese, how can that be bad? I believe this restaurant has great potential, however there are some inconsistencies that need to be worked out. read more

See all

Came here on a windy, rainy Sat night. We had the Bulgugi Taco, Udon Soup and wings. The food is just alright, really not that special. We like the taco most, but is it still just a 3 out of 5. The udon soup you could tell is not made right (too much instant powder flavor and too greasy), and the wings are over cooked. To be honest I dont think I will come back again. Oh and the greasy floor kind of freak me out a little bit as well. read more

My BFF loves this place so we went in the snow on Saturday and it was worth the trip I love the wings soy garlic and the fries were so good I will be back customer service was very good read more

I had the half and half, garlic and spicy along with the Salmon and alvacodo ball. The food was very good and the chicken was cooked perfect. In other places I've eaten I usually have to send my chicken back like 2x times. If you haven't been here this is a place you must try. read more

My husband and I love this place. Their wings and seasoned fries are sooooo good! Plus, the workers there are really nice and well mannered; which is always a plus. read more

The best Korean fried chicken around. And the coleslaw and chicken fried rice were excellent!

I was introduced to this place by my coworkers and I'm so thankful. I have only had the lunch special of wings and fries but I enjoyed it so much. If you like chicken with a little Asian zing to it this is your place. The chicken had so much flavor and was a generous size. I will definitely be back and look forward to trying other options on the menu. Highly recommend. read more

Price is way out of range. They don't serve water, you must buy a bottle. What is up with Korean places and ripping you off? I'm thoroughly annoyed enough to say this. I would not come back because I don't support this type of joint. read more

The chicken was great! It was incredibly crispy and the spice was just right! Only thing is, i wish they can get faster with the delivery.:)

I thought the food was going to be more elevated. I believe it it is a good Chinese food alternative. We ordered the Japchae and the tofu Bibimbob, both were not bad but nothing to write home about. I would recommend this place if you are looking for an alternative to the regular delivery type food. read more

I wish I could review the food here, but I left after sitting for almost 25 minutes and never getting so much as a drink. There was 1 frenzied and extremely overworked waitress who clearly couldn't keep up with the 4 tables in the place. Whoever does their scheduling should be punished. read more

Maybe because I'm Korean but their kimchi fried rice is really bad. I don't even think they stir fry the kimchi. Almost tastes like they just put the kimchi on top of very dry fried rice. I recommend ppl to not get these if your palate is refined or familiar towards Korean cuisine. read more

I always go to this Bonchon and I am usually pleased with the food. I get my go to order, soy garlic wings and the seasoned fries. The chicken was perfect and tasted amazing but the fries this time were pretty salty not like usual. I can usually eat more than half of it but today I could barely eat them. Other than that the service was exceptional and our server, didn't get her name was very friendly. The time that our food got out was pretty quick too so overall it was a good experience here. read more

First time here. The service was great and food delicious! Just had the fried rice today. Can't wait to come back and try more of the menu. Byob also can't beat that. read more

Food was great but check your order before you leave. I ordered a 20 pcs with half soy and half hot & spicy and got all 20pcs soy which once I got back home was a little frustrating but food was still great!! read more

The chicken wings are truly addictive. The sweet is so good and sweet and the spicy has a great flavorful kick- order some rice to help yourself to minimize the burn! The rest of the food was good, but not authentic korean. The stone bowl bibimbap was good but the bonchon in it was not like traditional Korean restaurants, ironic, I know. Be warned, the dukboki had shredded mozzarella on it... Not sure where that came from?! That I couldn't eat. It was not spicy either. So if your looking for authentic Korean, keep diving to Bergen County... But there is tasty wings, passable bulgogi and jun, and only a 15 min back road drive to the Prudential Center Arena which is why we went! Friendly service, order at counter and they bring you your food. Oh, and no free bonchon, again ironic considering their name. read more

Service is great. Variety of food is on the menu is perfect; I've never been to a bonchon place where fried rice, bibimbop, etc is served. Parking is a bit tough but definitely worth it. Fried rice was amazing and of course so was the bomhom read more

Went here because we remembered going in the past at the fort lee location and it was great, this time it was very crispy, spicy and delicious! The fried dumplings are amazing! read more

It was my first bon chon experience and I can't complain. I've had Korean bbq in the city in Korea town and nothing beats that but this comes a close second to it. No joke. The service was great, it was as expected. There wasn't an OVER the top wow factor but very chill and it offers great chicken. Seasoned fries were pretty epic too. I'll definitely be back! read more

Great fried chicken! Even like their fried rice and French fries. But you have to try the chicken!!

We really needed a cool delish place like this in union center!! Soooo good! Thin crispy chicken..soy garlic sauce is great! Clean too! Go eat there! N they deliver!! read more

This is the first Bonchon that we have been in that was full service. It is also the first that I was not impressed with the wings. I tasted fat several times as I bit into my chicken wing. Usually they are so crispy and tasty that you just deep stuffing your face. Although this one is the closest to my house I am not sure if I will return. I was very disappointed come to think of it the food appeared the fast of all the places visited. read more

Awesome food but the wait can be long during busier hours. It's kind of like a fast food restaurant in terms of ordering, but it's also a sit down restaurant with service. Different mix that I think they're still trying to figure out. Regardless, the greatest of the food is undeniable! read more

Bonchon Union - No warm water. No hand towels. Only one of those air blowers. - Chicken Wings Near Me - Union, New Jersey

I just tried the Japchae for the first time and it was absolutely delicious! If you are a fan of glass noodles and beef, definitely check it out. read more

Used to love their food but they can be inconsistent sometimes and rude. Tried to place an order and they told me they don't deliver to my street after 7pm. It was 7:10 when I called. read more

This should be clearer: minimum delivery order to UNION is $20, but minimum to MAPLEWOOD is $40. Nevermind.

I've tried two other iterations of Bon Chon (Fort Lee and Midtown NYC), and this one was by far the best both in terms of food quality and service experience. We ordered the takoyaki, salmon ball, and seasoned fries in addition to the large half and half chicken. The perfect amount of food for 5 very hungry people. Everything was tasty - the takoyaki was less so. The sauce was a little too tart, but otherwise, it was fine. The Salmon Ball was a lot larger and tasted better than the Midtown location's, and the seasoned fries were very good. The chicken came out in less than 35 minutes as it said on the menu. The spicy was perfectly spiced and not too hot - served with some pickled radish to cool it down. The garlic and soy was perfectly fried. The service was also nice and just the right amount of attentive. And for all that food, it came out to about ~13/person including tip. It was a good time! read more
