Crispy chicken wings that satisfy flavor to texture the moment you bite into one. Can either dine in or take out when ordering from their pretty simple menu. This KFC (Korean fried chicken) spot is a must try and will definitely come again if I need a simple good mouth feel when I order. The sides and other dishes deliver as well but I know the tteokbokki could be spicier.
Absolutely loved my first visit to Bonchon Fountain Valley! My bf and I were craving Korean fried chicken and happened to find Bonchon on Yelp. They're not too far from where we live and happen to be right across from the mile square park we visit often so we were familiar with the area.We ended up stopping by on a Friday evening to have dinner, upon arriving a gentleman greeted us right away and let us choose where we preferred to sit in the restaurant. He came by with their menus and got our drink orders right away. He also told us that when we were ready to order they have a call button located at the tables so they'd know to come by our table. It's a nice convenience to have so you don't feel pressured.Customer service was great! The gentleman waiting on us was very friendly and attentive. Whenever we pressed the call button he would come over right away. He was always quick to get something if needed also.They have such a big selection on their menu, it's hard to choose just a few items to try! I already knew coming here that it would take a few visits to try everything that looked good. But for our first visit we got the following: Pork Buns, Small Half & Half Boneless Wings and the Bulgogi House Fried Rice! honestly I enjoyed almost everything. The only thing I will mention is that the wings were a bit dry and needed more sauce on them. Pork buns were probably my favorite out of everything. The pork was so juicy and delicious. The fried rice was also a nice pairing with the chicken. It was packed with flavor too.Overall I think my next visit I might try the bone-in wings. Maybe the boneless just isn't what they're known for. They also have a bunch of other items I look forward to getting in the future. I will definitely be back!
Medium (mixed 10 piece wings + 5pc drums) - pickled radish = $28.95TTEOKBOKKI - 12.95Bulgogi House Fried Rice - 13.95Bulgogi Korean Tacos - 12.95Total... about $75 for dinner with 3.I came here on a thursday evening.. about 7pm. To my surprise, there was only another group sitting in the restaurant. It's pretty small. Maybe it seats about 40-50 people.We ordered the above. I've never tried tteokbokki.. but I'd seen it on alot of Korean Dramas I've been watching on netflix. So I thought I'd give it a try.The fried chicken is beautiful. It tastes good to great. The spicy was abit too much for me (I guess on a scale of 1 mild and 10 hottest).. it's probably a 4. I'm weaksauce when it comes to hotness! Skin was crispy and tasty. I really liked the garlic sauce more. Again.. chicken was tasty and moist. This includes both wings and drumsticks.. they were moist. (I'd had issues going to buffalo wild wings.. and even Von's where the wings were DRY). Bonchon delivered on moistness.Oh yea!... as for the Fried Rice and Tacos.I liked the tacos. I'd try it a gain... sweet and tasty.As for the fried rice... it was not bad. Maybe for me.. (I like it salty).. it was a little bland and not as flavorful as I was expecting it.Services was really good (probably because there was only my group andanother family).By the time it was 8pm.. it got crowded and was maybe at 50% capacity.Finally the tteokbokki. I thought it was interesting. Alas, I think I'm not a fish cake person.. the first ones were interesting.. but then after eating more and more.. I could pass.Price is abit pricey, but it's a nice fusion type of place where I can get korean food as well as korean fried chicken. Again.. I would try the place again:1. didn't get to try the seasoned fries2. didn't get to try the glass noodlesI also like that they have their menu readily available online through their website.They also have a family meal.. at the window of their restaurant I read the price wrong. But the deal seems pretty decent.42.95 FAMILY MEAL XL12 wings (bone-in or boneless), 6 drums, choice of 2 double-portioned sides and choice of white rice or plain fried rice.
Their chciekn's crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and has plenty of flavor. Probably one of the most flavorful I've ever had. Bulgogi tacos on top of that were also delicious and flavorful. I might have to come back for seconds.
simply the Best tasting fried chicken in the world
If I pay 100$ worth of only wings you would thing at least one ranch would be included what a rip off this place is. I come from the san diego location where i purchase from them all the time and they include ranch. Here they charge u 95c per little ranch. They are so small and they are charging so much for it. So we buy 10$ worth of ranch and they only had 2 prepped and they said one moment and they ended up just putting some hidden valley ranch in the containers which is not the same as restaurant ranches or ranches they offer. As someone who grow up working in fast food i always tip i kinda regret tipping them because they where rude to begin with. Next time ill make sure to go to the other one thats only few mins away.
Tasted just like Bonchon in Korea in 2007. I have tried the Garden Grove location (back in the day) and the Costa Mesa one. This one by far is the best.
Bonchon is amazing! The wings are crispy and delicious (go ahead and get them in soy garlic sauce). The sesame ginger salad is a great side to the wings; it comes with a scrumptious sweet dressing. The price is a little higher than you might expect for wings, but the taste is unique enough to be worth it.
The chicken wings only come in 2 flavors. No such thing as boneless wings. It's just chicken breast that are cut into the sizes of wings.
For $18 bucks I was hoping for a little more tbh.First off I ordered the Bull Dak, and I was hoping there’d be sides and stuff, but 18 bucks for a single plastic box that’s roughly pretty small. Also I was expecting there to be napkins, and utensils. A little disappointed by this. Although the dish itself is tasty.
