Extremely overpriced for the quality. The chicken was okay but the pork buns were nothing but a piece of pork fat and cole slaw wrapped in a bun. The food was edible but definitely not worth the over $60 price tag for fried chicken, french fries and horrible pork buns. If you choose to eat here, stick with the chicken, although it’s average it better than the other dishes on the menu. Patronize this place only if you like high priced low quality food.

Since I haven’t had much Korean food, I went for the chicken strips, half of the order as soy garlic (bottom of picture), half spicy (top). All were crispy, crunchy, flaky, well sauced, and with white meat chicken.

You actually get what your paying for. I can honestly say these were the best wings that I have had in a long time. I got bone in wings half spicy half Korean barbecue they were absolutely delicious. They had a great crunch to them not over done they were perfect. The sauces were great. My wife got boneless wings, soy and Korean BBQ. She absolutely loved them. We also got the chicken tender kids meal.m, and the tenders were delicious also. To top it off, they have these amazing donuts that I would absolutely recommend. We did pick up the food was hot and fresh when we got it he opened up the bag on the way home, so the wings would not condensate and they were delicious. I was a little skeptical to try this after trying, Raising Cane’s and Colby’s, but I can honestly say this is definitely a must try. We will be coming back again for sure.

First time at this restaurant chain and I absolutely loved it. The food here is so good and fresh. I believe all food here is made to order.

I have been waiting to try Korean Fried chicken, you will not be disappointed. I ordered Soy Garlic with picked radish, the flavor is amazing! Service was great, they offer vegan options, the restaurant is clean and organized. I hope they will open a location down state soon, until then it is worth the drive.

Chicken wings were fresh, crunchy and the sauce was flavorful. Fair warning the spicy sauce is extremely spicy but great taste. Korean BBQ sauce was perfect!

I have been waiting to try Bonchon for YEARS and was excited to see there was finally one close. This was def in the cut across from Newark High School and has small front room and limited dining side in the back. Place is new so it was very clean! It was however very loud in the store and had a hard time hearing the cashier. Both cashiers were polite and friendly and it didn’t take long for the food to be ready, however we got mixed (soy garlic and spicy) and there was a toothpick in one side but didn’t say what was what so A- for service. They have big holes in the boxes at the top to prevent steam from making the crispy skin moist as much as possible which I appreciated. We, however, took ours to go and by the time we drove 10 min home unfortunately the skin had gotten somewhat soggy but still had crispness to it. The chicken was cooked well (some of the wings were over cooked especially the flats) but not to the point it was inedible it was still good just not as juicy as I’ve seen in some youtube videos where juice runs out like Niagara Falls. They give you drumsticks and both wing parts, flats and drums and again drumsticks were cooked well and still crispy but not as juicy as I was hoping. The flavors were good, the spicy had a little kick to it and the soy was nice and savory. We got fried rice and fries as a side and the froses reminded me of Amore Pizza fries good, crispy but every once in awhile I got the taste or aftertaste I should say of “old oil” like it hadn’t been changed recently. The fried rice has onion and red pepper in it along with f maybe and egg and was fairly dry and need some type of sauce or something to kick it up. All in all I’d definitely come back and I’m hoping to try the korean tacos they have and maybe some kimchi rice and the kimchi Mac and cheese. 3.8/5 or 7.5/10 from me…definitely a must try! I’d recommend eating in to maximize the crunch and juiciness of the chicken tho!

THIS IS HANDS DOWN THE BEST FRIED CHICKEN IVE HAD FROM A RESTAURANT. First time trying it about a week ago. Get the small spicy or regular wings it is so crispy and crunchy and has such an amazing flavor and kick I’m going to be going here all the time Very pricy but it’s worth the price!!!

A new Korean fried chicken franchise in Newark, DE. Korean food options are just so so, however, they have really good fried chicken. My favorite is boneless wings (half spicy and half soy garlic). I was craving japchae (stir-fry sweet potato noodle) so I decided to give this another try at bonchon and was kind of disappointed, especially at the price point. Anyhow, if you like fried chicken, definitely try this place! Get the pickled radish cause it’s so refreshing eaten with the fried chicken.

Soy garlic flavoring with wings or strips is worth the trip. Wings and strips were nicely crisp, though the strips were a bit too bready. Opt for flavoring; bypass on the plain.
