The famous Korean fried chicken chain is known for its puffy, almost paper-like skin, and its intensely flavored soy or chile seasonings, baked right into the crust. Read more

Combo chicken half and half was the best! Very good takoyaki as well. Wish I had found this place earlier, but will definitely come here next time I'm in NYC.

The salmon bowl was so good, the chicken wrap a little dry so I requested spicy mayo and Min also brought me Ranch....both so good but prefer the spice of the spicy mayo.

The spicy sauce is just that spicy! I suggest getting half spicy and half soy ginger! So crispy!!! Service was excellent as well!

yummy Korean wings! soy garlic flavor is my fav. :) calamari is also tasty n their Korean pickled radish is super delicious!!!

Make sure there's no paper cuts on your fingers when eating the spicy chicken (soy garlic is just as awesomely crispy and you won't need to be hosed off after). SO good.

Happy week until August 11th: $3 drafts, $4 wine and $5 cocktails. Free pitcher if you order a large or extra large order of chicken.

Bibimbop is great. Hostess is so nice and she always remembers me even when I haven't been in for months. Great service, great fresh food.

*Everyone* I bring here loves the chicken. From small town to big city folk, it's something new they've never quite tasted before. Try the regular soy garlic flavor and if you're feeling daring—spicy.

Get the bul-go-gi rice bowl. It's a pretty big portion for a relatively cheap lunch menu item, compared to some of the other stuff. Comes with a small salad and some ranch dressing as well.

Get a side of white rice to give your mouth a break from the heat!! The wings are soooo delicious!
seth hochmanApril 15, 2014
Get the half & half combo - wings & drumsticks with soy garlic sauce & hot sauce. The best of both!
Nina NinaApril 16, 2011
The mixed medium was perfect for a shared snack. If you decide to get the seasoned fries, be ready to share. The spice soy garlic is just the perfect amount of hot.

The food was great but the service was not. The bartender kept telling us that this wasn’t his bar so he can’t make certain drinks. Fried rice and chicken were both very good.
Natalie FreilichNovember 29, 2012
Chicken wings are great - spicy means spicy mouth preferred the garlic soy flavor. Pretty good spot for Times Square wasteland.
Chris KempJuly 15, 2015
The Soy Garlic Boneless Chicken Breast is superb. The Tokyo Iced Tea is damn good, too!

Get Chicken wings "half and half" to-go. Turn all of the lights off in your apt. Get paper towels. Eat. Shower. Cry. Don't tell anyone. Repeat weekly.
Michael HJune 11, 2015
The drumsticks or wings are are a must have and the avocado roll is great too.
Mark NesterMay 17, 2011
Hot & Spicy chicken wings and drumsticks are bangin'. Soy Garlic are good as well, but hot & spicy is the way to go if you can handle a bit of heat.
Víctor Daniel GonzálezOctober 24, 2016
Eat the spicy chicken bibimbap if you dare, it's amazing if you like spicy food
George LeeJuly 20, 2015
Spicy. They ran out of drumsticks today :( the strips are crispy but a bit lacking in that savoryness
Aaron WatfordJanuary 25, 2023
The wings and please ask for them to be extra crispy. You’ll thank me later.

If you are taking out your order, call ahead and place your order. Usual order wait time is 15-20 mins.
Olivia PritchettJuly 2, 2015
Their soy sauce fried chicken = life-changing
Avalon HotelApril 13, 2012
This may be one the best fried chicken we've had/ Whatever size you order, ask them for half spicy and half sweet.
NakishaSeptember 26, 2011
Addicting fried chicken deliciousness! The chicken strips are huge and if you like things spicy they can definitely bring the heat!
Gary WilliamsMarch 8, 2019
Chicken wings are next level. When I have that crave there’s nothing that can satisfy it like Bonchon
Rita LNovember 21, 2015
Lunch special is good, bibimbap and wings
Leo SumulongNovember 7, 2018
Just a heads-up: the boneless wings aren't prepared like the classic Bonchon wings and drumsticks, they're battered and more KFC-like. Stick to the classics.
Chee Yi OngJanuary 15, 2014
Ridiculous when there's no one to seat you, you'll be forced to order at the counter; worst part is, you don't get to eat at the tables because "takeout means takeout", and there were empty tables!!!
Kathy LiuNovember 8, 2015
Really good spicy chicken- try it with the different Korean beers

If you prefer portion size go for the strips. Otherwise the wings are more tasty.

Spicy wings are the best and the chicken fried rice
Andrew LeungJanuary 14, 2016
don't forget to add rice when ordering a lunch set!
Cassia LoharOctober 18, 2015
I went here for the first time yesterday, and I'm not sure what all the hype is about. The food is ok, but nothing I would rave over. I had the Bulgogi entree, and it was greasy and almost tasteless.
Jon HyneAugust 22, 2013
The strips are thin and dry, get the drums! Kimchi coleslaw is a winner.
Brandon HoangOctober 18, 2016
Huge portions and when they mean spicy, they mean spicy!
Jarel HillJune 24, 2017
Awesome wings! Garlic soy was excellent
Jim HouseMay 18, 2019
Spicy and ginger honey seasoning choices on the wings. Good stuff
Ryan AmbsFebruary 26, 2016
Bibimbap had some odd toppings. Maybe stick to the amazing fried chicken
Serious EatsJuly 24, 2013
Extra-crispy Korean fried chicken. It's cooked to order, so expect a 15 to 20 minute wait.
Dickson YuenMarch 22, 2014
ORDER THE WINGS!!! WITHOUT THE BONES...OR THE MEAT!!! JUST EAT THE DOUGH!!!
Alvin UrbanoFebruary 18, 2014
Loved it. Chicken was perfectly crispy and spicy...
Asuka EveAugust 11, 2014
The boston branch is a lot better than here tho. I expected more. The quality isn't well control I guess.

Soy garlic wings are poppin! Definitely have to try them!
Roland FigueredoFebruary 25, 2015
Chicken strips. Soy garlic. Yum. And new fried rice is great...

Hot & Spicy wings will change your life.
Prim RoseJuly 30, 2015
Amazing wings. The spicy is really really spicy!
Corey PettitMarch 31, 2010
Went around 10PM on a Friday. LOUD bar atmosphere, and some random girl grabbed a bite of food off my plate (WTF?!) but the wings and the bulgogi were delicious!
