Bonchon

My drink was forgotten but I reminded them and got what I thought was a root beer. It was root beer flavored seltzer. 12 PC BONELESS Sauce Soy Garlic - tasty but tiny Coleslaw - Okay, had a weird aftertaste JAPCHAE - Fantastic, 10 PC STRIPS Sauce Half & Half Half Soy Garlic Half No Sauce - The Soy Garlic was okay,but the plain were salt free and bland. Shockingly bland. Pickled Radish - TastyPORK POTSTICKERS 6 Spicy - Tasty but fiery! Spicy is no joke. BULGOGI FRIES with no Spicy Mayo - My favorite dish, delicious! KOREAN STREET CORN - The corn and onions were flavorless, the cheese was non existent but tgecspice wax nice. The food was okay. The soy garlic didn't have a tin of flavor and the non-sauce chicken was bland. We are unlikely to return, Kimchi Box is vastly better in every way.

Ordered the spicy chicken sandwich. The bun was toasted and tasted of butter. Regretfully, the chicken tenders were tough and stringy. I was putting up with the texture because the spicy sauce was ok, but then found a small hair. Pulled it off and inspected the rest. Likely a one time issue. Would skip coming back due to the jerky like texture of the chicken. I have had better sandwiches elsewhere.

It's freaking Bonchon! Back home, there was a location over in Berkeley. Coming to the Midwest, I somewhat forgot all about Bonchon. How I came across this location, I couldn't even begin to say, but boy am I happy. The cashier was super friendly and helpful. I ordered the 6 wing combo and an order of seasoned fries to go ($20.16). Super amazing, tastes amazing and more than enough food for one person.

It's a chain, first one I have ever seen in MI, so far. May be short lived after this visit. They need to work on food execution and their customer service skills, it's non-existent. We ordered the Spicy Chicken fried rice, 12 boneless wings with spicy sauce, pickled radish, kimchi, kimchi coleslaw, japchae with chicken. $57.77. Mostly a twice fried chicken spot and brushed on sauce too. Charged us for 12 piece bone-in wings instead of 12 piece boneless wings. The boneless was $3 cheaper. The slaw was so-so, as was the pickled radish and kimchi coleslaw. The kimchi was just ok, it's a bit more mature than I prefer and the flavor was just average. The japchae was lack luster, not super flavorful and lacking in mushrooms and veggies for me. The spicy chicken fried rice wasn't too bad, had good heat.The boneless wings came out on a tray, lined up like soldiers and with barely enough sauce to cover even half of one side of the wing. The tray was so bone dry after picking up two boneless wings, a telltale sign they gave us almost no sauce. I asked another staff member if they could give us a side of sauce or at least more sauce on the boneless wings. She said that's how much sauce comes on the wings and they can't give us more. Wow! Lacks customer service here. I was quite put-off by the staff's resounding no to my request for more sauce and took the tray back to the counter and asked to either give us a refund on my boneless wings or give us more sauce on them. The first staff member that waited on us said she would speak to the back kitchen and gave us maybe slightly double the first round of sauce, quite pathetic still. The spicy sauce tasted decent at least. I had to wait for my refund for the price difference of the $3 and had to ask about it a few more times before leaving as well. They are unbelievably cheap about saucing their wings and boneless wings here for sure. Bad idea for a chicken place in my opinion. I haven't ever been to another wings place that was so deliberate in giving customers as little sauce as possible, just to save a few pennies. Even Noori and every other wing place knows well enough to sauce it up or go home. They should take some lessons and queues from their NYC location, the picks look like they follow their franchise model and execution.

We got Doordash from here today, I had heard very good things and had been wanting to try it.Overall everything was good but not mind-blowing. My favorite item was the chicken sandwich with coleslaw, we got it with the soy garlic sauce. Like others have mentioned, the sandwich and the wings aren't super "saucy"... We also got the 12 pc of boneless wings with the same sauce. A friend told me their Regular sauce is a bit spicy, just FYI.We also got the onion rings and garlic and parmesan fries. The onion rings had a nice crunch and the fries were also good but could've been crispier.Bonchon is pretty expensive... For our four items it was about $45 before doordash fees and tip. I wouldn't rush back anytime soon - I'd like to compare to Noori in Clawson, actually - but next time I'll probably try dining in.

Great, great Korean food with a spicy twist. This is our 3rd time in two months. Excellent and fast service, very clean, a Farmington secret too be shared! Try the Mac& KimCheese! The cole slaw is excellent. Boneless wings are great and great low prices!! Enjoy. Open 7 Days a week so you have no excuses to enjoy the Best Korean Fried chicken flavors!

Was very excited to hear the news that there's a Bonchon franchise here in Michigan. They specialize in Korea's version of fried chicken, which is lightly breaded, deep fried, then hand-brushed with thin coat of their signature soy garlic or spicy sauce. We came in around 530pm for dinner. Waited in line and finally reach the only counter/cash register. We placed our order and paid the check at 540pm. Our takeout meal of 8pc chicken wings half and half was received at 645pm. We were told it was a 45 minute wait but turned out to be an hour. Instead of waiting inside the dining area, we walked out then went to Aldi to buy groceries. When we came back there, still the order was not ready.Spent $21++ for 8 pc chicken wings, an ounce of coleslaw as a "complimentary" side, a special side of Mac kimchi (in a 10-12oz paper cup) and a plastic bottle of peach tea. Was it worth the wait? Yes and no!The spicy sauced chicken was good. The soy garlic chicken felt rubbery when I took a bite. Maybe because of the weather, or was it because the service was too long that the chicken turned cold. It was no longer crispy when we ate it.Loved the peach tea. Although the noodles were tender, There was not enough kimchi in the Mac kimchi.A lot of people are standing in line, and some are sitting while waiting inside the small dining area. No social distancing. This location may not be the safest place to eat during this COVID times. The tables and floor needed to be wiped clean.The quality of their food is not as great compared to other Bonchon locations from abroad. It's either because of the cold weather that affects the crispness of the chicken. Also, the kitchen looks too small to add more equipment, and the limited kitchen crew is overwhelmed with orders. There might be a potential to improve the quality of their food during summer, and the service becoming faster once the crew gets a hang of their job during the peak times/demand.Highly recommend ordering the spicy sauce wings. Waiting time...terrible! Your patience is encouraged. A lot of irate customers is expected.

As Korean places go, this place was fine. I don't think of it as anything special, and I might give it 3.5 stars if Yelp allowed me to.The service itself went smoothly, and we weren't waiting for our food too long. The food itself was a bit pricier than we thought it would but, and the portions didn't feel like it matched the price we paid for them. I wouldn't exactly say that you're getting the best bang for your buck with this place. The portions felt like they were enough for one meal (which is fine), but the total cost felt like I should have had some leftovers.We also tried the spicy chicken sandwich. Fair warning, this one can have a little more heat than you're expecting (compared to something like Chic-fil-A or Popeye's). Just like everything else on the menu, it was fine.Honestly, I was a bit disappointed with the food here. I think Metro-Detroit has better Korean offerings at a better value. It's worth trying at least once I think, but definitely not worth driving out of the way for.

Aside from the weight of the food (I do always enjoy a weighty to go bag) and even though I've moderately enjoyed a couple other meals from here before, tonight's was a disaster. Starting with asking the order taker whether or not I could get tofu with the bibimbap and him saying, "yes if you put it on at home," one thing was worse than the next. They also got part of the order wrong. Pickled radish is not coleslaw. And, the coleslaw that they put in as a side dish, basically had nothing besides cabbage and carrot, with minimal dressing for flavor. My fried chicken sandwich was terribly fried and seemed like it had been around for a couple of days, almost impossible to chew. It was all really bad, even if it did weigh a lot!

Funeral faced, unfriendly cashier, soggy wings, not enough sauce, overpriced. Won't be back. The other Korean wing place in Troy is MUCH better.
