I decided to give it one more try since the last time I went was spectacularly bad and I wanted to see if it had any improvements. I actually wasn't going to even do that, but my friend really wanted to try it. I showed her my earlier review and said that was what she was going to get into, but she wanted to give it a shot anyway. Definitely no improvement. Employees are still completely uninformed about the menu, rude, and borderline condescending. Barely any sauce on the chicken, and when I asked for some more sauce, they had the nerve to charge me two dollars for sauce I had never gotten to begin with. Food was either lukewarm or room temperature, no higher. And, every meal we ordered was extremely light on the protein, mostly rice and minimal vegetables. I don't know how this dumpster fire continues to exist, but that's that. read more

I'm addicted to their bugogi fried rice. It's amazing even the next day as leftovers. I come up to this location from Wilmington. They did just open another branch in the University of DE campus which I am thankful for. My only complaint is that the music always seems playing really loudly at this location for no particular reason. read more

Picked up take-outs at this place and the food was GREAT!! The crispiness of the chicken wings and the sweet savory flavor was fantastic. Will definitely go back read more

We have been here twice and it was great both times! We got bao buns and pot stickers with 2 different sauces and both were delicious. Clean restaurant and fast service. They need to carry Diet Coke but other than that it was top ratings read more

The chicken was blah. I've been to other locations so I have a point of reference. This location needs works. Also the bibimbap was the worst. 70% rice, 25% veggies and 5% meat. Just very small portions in general. Also the corporate responses are BS. My complaint about the portions has been said multiple times before by other reviewers. read more

I'm sure I'll be back... but not soon. I love bonchon but my first experience tonight was being unable to cancel my order (I wanted to cancel and create a delivery order) but cashiers weren't able to... fine, seems like an issue but not the shop's fault. I went to pick up my order and my boneless wings were barely sauced. It looked like a small drizzle of sauce was applied and broiled? Pretty ridiculous to not even toss the wings given the price point. I will probably be making Korean fried chicken at home for the foreseeable future. read more

I wish I had one of these closer to where I live! I was just walking by on my way to another restaurant. But I ended up looping back around to come here for some Korean fried chicken. There was no one else dining so the service was very quick. I love the menu. Very simple. chicken- How would you like that? It also has a bit of an American bar vibe with all the TVs playing sports or news. But that's okay, you don't come here for the atmosphere you come for the food. read more

What is with all these low reviews?! Bonchon is the OG when it comes to Korean fried chicken and I've never been to any bonchon (including this one) and not enjoyed. The best KFC in the game. Just get tons of chicken don't even bother with sides. read more

The food is good and the service is great. It's a chain so expect the taste of a chain restaurant. Overall pretty good, the prices are a bit high but they run discounts for students and such. read more

No, no, nope. I'm really not sure what happened to this place but this is not acceptable. I would recommend skipping unless you want to run the risk of being served this undercooked garbage. Was really looking forward to Bonchon after not visiting in quite some time. I had trash a whole order of chicken. My family and I will not be back. read more

Bonchon West Chester - Restaurant was completely empty when I picked up. Now I understand why! - Korean Near Me - West Chester, Pennsylvania

Came back to this Bon Chon after a while. The restaurant was dark, waitor was slow, and food took a while to come out. the wings were cooked right, they were crispy and juicy. We have our wings in 3 different sauces: Yangyum, Spicy, and Soy garlic. The yangyum sauce was pretty delicious, and the spicy was really spicy. However, the soy garlic was too salty. It was almost inedibale salty. If the cook went a bit easier on the salt, i think these wings would have been perfect. Bonchon at other locations have so much more to offer compare to this one so i wouldn't come back here again read more

I was there on Tuesday 03/31/2026 I had never been there before, and my daughter wanted to go so bad. Let me first say before we even said Hello the hostess/waiter said it was 15% gratitude to dine in. My daughter said OK no problem. 2nd the now the hostess/waiter comes over does NOT know the menu. My daughter asked a question he had no idea, and these are questions like do you have sweet potato fries because the picture on the menu has sweet potatoes and regular potatoes. He said oh I don't know do we asking her like we are supposed to know. I ordered plain wings not no seasoning wings. The wings tasted like I was eating cardboard. They had no seasoning, no taste I mean plain does not mean tasteless. They literally had no taste whatsoever. I ate one wing from a platter of 9 and I called over the waiter, and I said I am sorry these wings have no taste they are nasty could you please take these back and take them off check thank you. He had the nerve to say there are no refunds. He said they can't do anything with the chicken and will have to throw them away. But if you're asking me if you can make me something else aren't you throwing them away anyway? Yes, of course you are. The waiter was clueless and very disrespectful. I give them a 0 out of 1000 DO NOT RECOMMEND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

If you have never had Korean fried chicken you are sleeping on it!! Bon Chon is so delicious and flavorful and the chicken has the best crispy outside but juicy chicken meat inside I lived right up the road from a Bon Chon in Columbia, MD and both the WC and MD locations are very consistent with flavors and temperatures of foods My favorite things on the menu are: the spicy wings- either flavor is good though, the calamari, and the kimchi I docked a star because it's really expensive. A few wings will run you $15-$16 easily read more

I decided to leave an updated review since this place has gone downhill and I want them to improve. Last few times I ordered, I noticed there was barely any sauce. When I placed a phone order I asked them to make sure there is enough sauce bc last few times chicken did not have much sauce on it (Korean fried chicken is all about sauce - if there is not enough sauce it is not Korean fried chicken) they charged extra ~$2 and there were still barely any sauce on the chicken (see the photo). I am not sure if they are trying to cut the cost or what not but this is really disappointing. Unless they fix the issue I won't order from this place anymore. read more

I came here for the Korean Fried Wings. The wings were excellent. The battered crust is thick and crispy. The chicken is succulent with a proper level of seasoning. The sauce was thick enough to grasp ahold of the craggy surface of the chicken crust. Really an excellent addition to the restaurant offerings in West Chester in my estimation. read more

Ordered bibimbap. It had 90% rice, and very few veggies and protein. It was not worth the price.

The wings are as good as all the hype! Double fried garlic sooo good and juicy! The pork buns left a lot to be desired: the pork! Tasted good, but all bun and so little pork. Gyoza good. Heat is good. Fried rice mushy and sweet, which I don't love. read more

Ordered from the West Chester location and was very disappointed. Love Bonchon for years and was introducing it to a friend. Instead of the crispy double fried Korean style wings they are known for, we received a very ordinary chicken wing. While the taste was okay, it was something I could have gotten anywhere. Certainly not worth the premium price I pay for at Bonchon. Certainly hope the kitchen was having a bad day and this isn't the normal for this location. read more

If 0 stars were possible then that's what I would give. Im not here to knock the food quality but for those who want an experience, this is not the place for you. The service is horrible. The man who works behind the front desk is rude and more engaged in his phone then he is his guests. He gave me attitude and said he would throw away my food. I come in every week and will not be back again. I will take my money elsewhere. This is the worst establishment in West Chester! read more

The best customer service & the best Korean fried chicken ever!!! The ambiance was incredible. I would 100% recommend!!

We ordered the wings to go and There were ok, expensive though I don't think I want to order it again.

Offensive prices. If I told you that they charged me $4.71 for a (tiny) side of sauce, would you believe me? I typically would not pay that but our chicken came out with about three drizzles of sauce on it and tasted like dirty fry oil. I needed that $5 sauce to make my $55 dinner edible. Save your money and go elsewhere.... Picture for your entertainment. read more

Bonchon West Chester - $4.99 for this little sauce - Korean Near Me - West Chester, Pennsylvania

* Update: Visited again and service was stellar. Drool-worthy food + great service = 5 stars. So much closer than the Bonchon in the City so I was stoked to visit. We had the bulgogi fried rice and the 20-piece wings. The wings were perfectly crispy with juicy meat on the inside and tossed in the right amount of sauce. The rice was tasty but overpriced for the portion ($13.95). We'll skip the fried rice next time and get fries or a small side of white rice. The restaurant was surprisingly empty. No more than 3 tables were occupied during our entire visit. I'm sure things will change as this place is brand new to West Chester. One make or break for us is service. Our waiter was - how do I say this - overattentive... if that makes sense? He asked us twice if we needed a box and both times we physically had a chicken wing in our hand. We felt rushed although he picked up on the vibe and apologized and said he wasn't trying to rush us. But this occurred twice. Second, he picked up the paid bill before we left the table. I always find that tacky. Overall, we loved the food as always and are stoked to have a Bonchon closer to home. We'll be back! read more

We didn't know this chain in WC but we will be back. We did online ordering for takeout. Easy enough though we went to site instead of using Yelp/Grubhub online. Order was ready when expected and packaged nicely. Orders the Takoyaki (fried octopus dumplings) and while tasty, we're too fishy for me to repeat. But done well. Next the fried shrimp. Great stuff, lots of them. Tiny and flavorful. My wife had the chicken tacos which were good but next time we will order the hot mayo on the side as it was too much for her. We also got seasoned fries which tasted great. Next time we will try eating in. read more

Not bad, is a chain so don't expect a personal touch. The fried chicken was good. Not sure about the other stuff, but one dish I did try set my mouth on fire. read more

So excited that bonchon is in the burbs and it did not disappoint. Came here for lunch and they have awesome lunch specials I liked the wings better than the drumsticks. Getting pickled radish with the chicken is a must. Fries were awesome as well. The space is open but your voice does travel so it made me a little self conscious when I was talking lol. read more

After an ok meal pre-COVID, the restaurant could not complete an order delivery! The management completely bungled their service. I ordered delivery, from their online menu with DoorDash. I got a phone call that one of the items was not available. They couldn't replace it for a similar item, and they could not process a refund! I asked to speak with a manager, and the poor young student who was on the phone was the only one available but with no power of decision. She called the manager, who said that it's not their issue!!!! They couldn't bring me the food because the item was out, and they couldn't issue a refund! Clearly money is more important than customer service. read more

Too much breading not enough chicken. Was not at all authentically Japanese. I get the Americanization but just a step too far

No calamari. I LOVE the calamari that you can get from the Chinatown location and the fact that this location doesn't have it on the menu is a huge let down for me as that's one of my main go tos to order. When I asked about it, the server (who was clearly more about watching the Sixers game) said "is that octopus?" No. Then he went on to say that they can put calamari on anything I want and he's sure it's in a lot of the dishes..... I explained how it is its on item on the Chinatown menu but he said they never had it here. (I'll be honest here, this was in the same week that I lost a family member and I just wanted something that I loved to help cheer me up, so I took the void of calamari harder than a normal person would). My partner was also disappointed by the chicken. He said it tasted the same as Chinatown in terms of breading but it wasn't the true Korean fried chicken that he gets in the city. We both agreed that even though this is the same chain, the quality of this location is subpar to the city. It doesn't have the same feel at all. Chinatown has K-Pop blasting to make you deaf, this one quietly had basketball playing and didn't have the same vibe at all. While I'm excited that Bonchon is in the suburbs, I will wait until I'm in Philly to partake. Only saving grace is the pickled radishes. read more

It was so not good. And very expensive. Got the 6-3-6 special $18 six nuggets six single digit wings 3 drums. What a waste of money . Worse was the $13 fried rice. Don't bother and don't bother.

Heard about Bonchon opening in West Chester. Just recently had I got the chance to visit this place. Would've thought it had the Kpop vibe like the one in Philly but nope. The food was actually good. Chicken is a must when going here. I just hope they add more menu items like the one in Philly. Glad I have found my spot. The only downside is that parking can be hard to find. Now can we have more parking in west Chester. read more

Amazing food, amazing service! I ate in (though most business is take out) and everyone was so helpful and food came out fast and hot.

This place is worth a visit. Strangely I had just made Korean fried chicken at home and wanted to try an expert version of the same. We ordered a variety of items and each one was very good. The fried chicken was excellent. Each flavor from the soy version to the traditional was tasty, tender and cooked properly with a crispy exterior. Before our main course we tried dumplings and onion rings. The dumplings were a big hit and the onion rings were good. All in all a great place and we will be back soon Only 4 stars because it's a bit small with cheaper furniture. Don't let that stop you from visiting though!! read more

This place is great! If you never had Korean Fried Chicken before, then this is a must! So crunchy and good. I always get half plain and half sweet crunch. They have other things there other than fried chicken too. So good! Definitely a must go! read more

Really good Korean for this area! The japchae and bulgogi were excellent. Great flavors. We had the octopus appetizer which was interesting. Fried well but the inside was a bit mushy. Service was wonderful but they charged me full price for the japchae instead of the lunch special so definitely emphasize if you're going to lunch. I also ordered the fried chicken combo to go for my coworkers who enjoyed it but said it could use more sauce. I'll definitely be back again! read more

We really enjoy this food, but tonight we ordered delivery and they did not start making our order until an hour after it was placed. We thought it would be delivered in an hour, but we are now going on 1.5 hours since we ordered without food. Also never received a confirmation email or text, so we called & that's how we found out the order was just being made. For a restaurant that charges 3.99 for delivery, I would think there would be more of an emphasis on getting the order to the customer quickly. *** this business does not have delivery, they say they do, but they just hire a doordash driver... so if they cannot find one, they just keep delaying your order until they can find someone. read more

Took them 20 min to prepare my order which is relatively fast for Bonchon. Food are in part with other Bonchon restaurant. Highly recommended Bonchon chicken. read more
