MEANS “My Hometown” IN KOREAN

Loved this place! Never had wings that were as crunchy and spicy! 5 Stars!!

Their wings are addictive! Love them!! I have to order half the amount otherwise I will eat them all!

Loved their food. Would absolutely go again and bring friends who hadn’t tried it. I’m pretty sure they’d become raving fans as well! =)

Their garlic soy chicken wings are delicious. Mouth watering; best chicken I’ve ever eaten.

Simply the best fried chicken out there. Spicy strips are my go to. Pork belly buns and kimchi coleslaw are amazing as well.

This was incredibly good and flavorful food. We got the combo wings/drums with half spicy and the other half soy garlic... we also got the chicken fried rice and the potstickers... everything was wonderful and reasonably priced... would definitely come back

Great fried chicken wings. Food and Wine magazine considers the Bonchon fried chicken winds as one of the top restaurants (In many locations) for chicken wings. Korean Fried Chicken Wings“This cult Korean wings spot features exquisitely crispy fried chicken that comes with a choice of glazes: soy garlic sauce, or spicy hot. This is one of the few places where both choices are equally delicious, so go for half and half.”

Best fried chicken ever! I recommend this place to friends all the time!

If you like chicken, whether it be wings, drums or strips (boneless) this place is a must. It’s the best chicken wings you’ll ever have! Good on tap list to help wash down the chicken. Great atmosphere and service.
