The wings is what I came for, they we're awesomely good but will love to have more meat in them. But definitely a great selection with the fried rice and the scallion pancake .

This global Korean chain has an extensive menu and tasty sushi but the real draw is the fried chicken . Juicy on the inside with a crunchy shell hand-brushed in signature sauces, this dish is superb. Read more

Other than the soy garlic chicken , I'm a fan of the okonomiyaki . It's a huge portion -- enough for 4-5 people. Very saucy and they are generous with the shrimp !

Bader

Go for the garlic wings , and the great coleslow salad .. skip olthe rest!

Joseph Williams

The soups are actually hot pots , and are HUGE! The one order fed 3 of us easily. Just like everyone else mentions, the chicken must have some incredibly addictive drug because they are unbelievable!

John K

Tried something new and glad I did! Spicy wings were awesome. Maybe a little more breaking than ideal but the taste & afterburner kick were perfect! Loved this place!

Vanessa Gatlin

(Best of Boston 2013-KOREAN) Improper Bostonian says, "Why fry chicken once when you can fry it twice? So goes the wisdom at BonChon, with obsession inducing results: juicy meat that's piping hot."

Emilie Futterman

Great meal, good diversity of options. Large portions for little money, and the sushi is good quality. Fried chicken is a must.

Maria-Angela Oppus

Try their crispy Korean-style fried chicken in soy garlic sauce ! Delicious! Their sushi is nothing special here, but still good. Be sure to come early as this place is small & doesnt take reservations

Anna Chan

Can't go wrong with Soy Garlic BonChon . XL BonChon wings can fill a party of 4. Add a pitcher or two of sapporo , and you'll be all set. Try 1 Lychee soju , that's 11 delicious shots! =]

Nick Scott

Best wings in the city , order a medium combo half and half ...just be careful with the spicy ones, they sneak up on you

Boston.com

The real draw here is the impossibly delicious, extremely addictive Korean-style fried chicken , with skin as crisp as rice paper . Read more

Reinny C

Amazing crispy wings , like rice paper crisp! And music , oh yeah baby :) try spicy wings if you dare, make sure ask for extra napkins, for your tears..

Vladimir Lessage

Chicken fried rice was delicious and let's just say I'm ok dying of a heart attack/clogged arteries as the fried chicken is WORTH IT!!!

Michael Bayer

So...it's a chicken place. Get the chicken . Hot and spicy is REALLY spicy . Think before you order it. Regular is really, really good.

Favecast

Favecast gathered the team up and enjoyed a few plates of some fried rice . Take a look at Andrew's review here! http://www.favecast.com/49aFhuvX5o

Jeremy Krantz

The spicy wings are very spicy but it is so damn delicious that the burn will be worth it

Naomi

The $7 chicken lunch special is good but way too heavy for a solo lunch . In fact, I'm crying for soup ! Bring friends, get the chicken , but also order variety of 'non-fried' stuff to balance things out

Tom Meng

Chicken is excellent. My personal favorite order is soy garlic wings with a side of rice .

Melissa Lesbirel

Get the wings or chicken tenders ! I prefer soy garlic , but the spicy ones are pretty good too!

Boston Phoenix

Almost everything here has some hot-and-spicy to it, mostly in a good way, although a chicken entrée called bull dok may be the hottest dish ever served in a Boston restaurant . Try it if you dare. Read more

Tammy

Their wings are to die for! It takes them forever to get the order to the table, though. It may also take a long time to get a table if you're coming with a large party.

Elaine Shin

Half & half , hot/spicy + garlic fried chicken wings and udon !

A S

If it's too crowded to eat in, get a takeout just for the wings . They're worth it ????

Alex Zito-Wolf

Fried chicken , sushi , seafood scallion pancakes . Amazing spot.

Jiahao Chen

Don't bother asking for their signature chicken on Superbowl Sunday unless you're willing to wait for hours. Save you fried chicken cravings for just about any other day!

A S

Try the seafood scallion pancake .. along with the fried chicken , of course!

Lisa

Try the spicy combo chicken !

Pamela

If you going during dinner time, make sure you pay close attention while waiting because I've just witnessed favoritism earlier smh.

Christine Lee

The L size (25 pieces) is a little too much for three. Get the L combo with another dish to feed four comfortably.

Timothy

Bon Chon chicken lunch special is so good. My friends &I rush after school to get here before 3pm. It's so worth it!

Terence Chan

Soy garlic ! Pork buns was pretty good too. 4.5/5

Michael Meng

I always get the Soy Galic chicken and rice . Service is great!

Jaim

Wings are still the best, both soy and spicy . I wouldn't order the dukbokki or pajeon here though..

J Fajardo

Soy garlic chix, pork buns and crunchy salmon salad are my defaults

Philip Nolan

The chicken here is AMAZING, as is the kimchi fried rice .

Favecast

Simon Ioffe

Wings , crispy salmon salad are both musts

Grace Yang

Amazing chicken wings !! The wings are juicier than the (large) drumsticks. Spicy wings are actually pretty spicy !

A S

The soy garlic Koran fried chicken . You. Can't. Stop. Eating.

Jiahao Chen

The chicken is legendary, of course, but the okonomiyaki with bacon , shrimp and squid is also very nommy.

Craig Collins

Get the Tteokbokki with Tempura . You won't be able to pronounce it, but it's so worth it.

Marcy Fitz-Randolph

Order ahead for pickup on the weekends. They deliver , too!

Yen Nguyen

Chiken wings and scallion pancake here are very delicious!!!

Chih-Han Chen

Make a phone call first to save time if you would like to take the wings out!

Cat Verlicco

The best spicy chicken wings I've ever had!

Dona H

Lindsey Nakhoul

Great sushi ... just wished they had more selection in beer .

Thaniya Amaralilit
