" I can't say enough good things about Bonchon chicken! It’s crunchy, juicy, and just perfect! I love how they incorporate traditional flavors with a modern touch. I must say, the spicy sauce is a game-changer. I could eat those wings every week and never get tired of them. I’d highly recommend it to anyone looking to indulge in Korean cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly, I wasn’t super impressed. The chicken was good, but I found it a bit overhyped. The service was friendly but a little slow, which was frustrating. I've had better Korean fried chicken elsewhere, and the setting was quite casual. If you love fried chicken, you might enjoy it, but for me, it didn't live up to the expectations. " (*Curated Review*)

" While the chicken was undeniably delicious, I felt the service lagged a bit-- our server seemed overwhelmed. However, the food compensated for it. We went with a large order of wings to share and they were crispy and reliably good. I would still recommend it for the food alone! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a fantastic time at Bonchon! The fried chicken is incredibly crispy, just the way I like it. We ordered the half and half soy garlic and spicy, and I must say, the balance of flavors was perfect. The atmosphere was lively yet relaxed, and our server was attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. I will definitely return for more of those delicious wings! " (*Curated Review*)

" Bonchon is my new go-to for Korean fried chicken! The chicken itself is always cooked to perfection with a crunchy exterior. I opted for the spicy wings, but I think I might try the garlic next time. The pricing was fair, especially considering the portion size. The only downside was the slight wait during peak hours, but it was worth it in the end! " (*Curated Review*)

" My friend and I decided to give Bonchon a shot after hearing great things, and it mostly delivered. The chicken was superbly crispy, and their spicy sauce had a great kick. However, the wait time was longer than we anticipated, and the table we were seated at was a bit wobbly. Overall, it was a good experience but room for improvement in terms of service speed. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Bonchon and absolutely adored their chicken. The way they prepare the wings keeps them crispy even after taking them to go. My only complaint is that the fries could use a bit more seasoning. Otherwise, the staff was welcoming, and the atmosphere was comfortably casual. I would come back in a heartbeat for that chicken!
