BN Chicken

BN Chicken has been on my radar for awhile. I stopped by for lunch around 12:00 pm on a Saturday and it wasn't too busy. We got the black garlic samgyetang ($29.99) and the regular one ($26.99). My black garlic samgyetang came with additional black garlic and we were given kimchi and radish kimchi on the side. Overall, I really enjoyed my black garlic samgyetang! The cornish game hens were super tender, I easily split mine with my chopsticks and spoon. It was satisfying seeing the rice, jujubes, and ginseng piece inside the cavity. The soup was comforting, clean tasting, and pleasantly garlicky. The regular soup was lighter in color and less garlicky, but still flavorful. This would be a great meal to have when you're feeling under the weather. I didn't think the soup was underseasoned at all but there's salt on the side if desired. The kimchi and radish kimchi were on the saltier side anyway so everything balanced out. We also ordered a side of vermicelli ($4.99 I think). They arrived to the table in a bowl of broth. They were chewy and bouncy, I thought it was a nice addition to the soup.I've tried going an hour before closing during dinner service but they ran out of chickens for samgyetang, so definitely go earlier if you can. Service was fine, they were polite and I had no issues. I liked that they had a small metal container on the table for us to put our chicken bones in.

This place is here for ever. Still Service simple and delicious herbal chicken soup.

TLDR: Ginseng Chicken Soup. Chicken KatsuRemember this day... take a selfie with this Yelp review, because this is a momentous day! My wife has given 5 stars to a restaurant, without any convincing by moi! Yes that's right, BN has gotten the Wife 5-Star of the decade award!Honestly, I thought this was a 4 star restaurant. But apparently my wife LOVED LOVED their ginseng Chicken soup. It's a great healthy soup for the winter time. And the chicken was boiled very well, not dry at all. I myself don't like soups that much.What I loved was this place has a bit of diversity for such a small menu. Normally I would end up having to order a soup as well, but I'm so glad they had not 1 but 2 "dry" dishes. I happily ordered the Chicken Katsu. It was really crispy. The meat was a little bit dry, but it was totally fine. Not going to dock points for it. A solid 4 stars. I also like that it came with the Katsu dipping sauce. I don't like it when a chef is pretentious enough to think that their Katsu is so divine that it doesn't NEED sauce! I NEED SAUCE! The salad it came with was servicable. It's veggies and my colon is happy!We also ordered the chicken wings, because... it's our first time here and we like to try a lot of different things. My wife liked the chicken... it has a very light flavor (just salt). I prefer heavy flavors and sauces. But again the chicken was cooked right, the skin was crispy. You can really TASTE the chicken (hint hint). It also came with a salad, which is a bit strange, but yay! more fiber!The place is small. But luckily we came at 6p on a Tues, so it wasn't too crowded. still had about 3 empty tables. All in all, I think this might be a new place for my wife to add to her rotation, especially as it's close to her work. And it serves healthy soups!

Have been here few times, food was good. The soup, seafood noodle and fried chicken wings were all decent, cold noodle was mid and lacking flavor. Service was hit or miss. Came total of 4 times, 2 of those times were fine but the other two times we were rushed to leave. The most recent time, we were there an hour before closing time (9pm) but at 8:30 they started rushing us to pay and leave. As we were chatting and ready to get up, the lady came and word for word said "we need to clean up, can you leave?" (it was 8:40 at the time and still have a few table eating). Feels a bit disrespected by the way she said it and the tone.

We came for weekend lunch, and although the restaurant was packed, we were seated right away with no wait.I ordered the plain chicken soup, and it was absolutely delicious! The chicken was incredibly tender, with even the cartilage cooked to a soft perfection. The soup itself was rich with flavor, thanks to the rice, dates, ginseng, and other ingredients stuffed inside the chicken. The sweetness of the dates and ginseng added a unique depth to the broth. The portion size was generous and very satisfying.My partner tried the chicken noodles, which were wonderfully garlicky and packed with vegetables and mushrooms--a hearty and flavorful dish.The service was impressively fast and very friendly, making the dining experience even better. Highly recommend this place for anyone craving comforting, high-quality Korean chicken soup.

I arrived 10 mins before closing at 1:50pm and was given a nasty stare by one of the workers there. I was not greeted at all! Another worker (owner?) rushes out and told us "Take out only!" as they are closing down. So, I ordered a regular chicken ginseng soup to go and she told me "5 minutes". Sure enough, less than 5 minutes later, the soup was all packaged up to go. I felt that they did not want my business at all and just pushed me to leave as quickly as possible! If it came out that fast, they could've sat me down and let me enjoy my soup! By the way, there were 3 other couples there still enjoying their meals halfway, chatting etc and didnt seem ready to leave! For $26.99 plus tax it was not cheap. It was watered down soup, and compared to the Samgyetang I had in Korea ($14 USD, flavorful soup, good service), this was not worth it. I would skip this spot for the lack of customer service. They care more about closing up shop than serving their customers!

Our friends raved about BN Chicken! We decided to go for lunch one day. All of us ordered their Samgyetang or Ginseng Chicken Soup. Basically, it is a whole young chicken filled with sticky rice, garlic, rice, jujube and ginseng. Samgye-tang is a Korean traditional soup for body health. It came out bubbling hot and flavorful. It was a tad pricey but it warmed your soul. The service was friendly and helpful.The parking is ok, as the shopping plaza is long but during peak hours, I can see the parking being challenging.Overall, 3.5 stars. It was a good experience.

Lunch with mini me before her after school activity. We ordered to share the regular ginseng chicken and the wings with salad. This is a comfort food for me. The soup was well seasoned. I sprinkled the salt paper on the chicken only. The wings were crispy and tasty and the salad was shredded cabbage with looked like thousand island dressing. It's the perfect size for us since we're not that hungry. The service was good and the ambiance was very casual. The foods are good for cold weather or when you're feeling down. So comforting! We'll be back.

닭칼국수 (chicken noodle soup) is delicious and perfect on a rainy day. The owner is extremely friendly and the ginseng tea is a nice touch.

We were greeted, sat down immediately, and given hot tea as we decided on what to order. I thought the tea they had tasted like there was cinnamon in it. It was refreshing and delicious! I couldn't decide on which flavor I wanted the chicken soup to be so I asked the server for their suggestion. They said that their black garlic is their most popular amongst the four so here we are!Black Garlic Ginseng Chicken Soup(4/5): It comes in boiling hot so be careful when consuming! The flavor is light with the taste of ginseng. They have a mix of salt and pepper that you can add into the soup or have it on the side. I chose to put it on the side because I wanted to dip my chicken in the seasoning, and taste the soup as it is! They give you black garlic on the side so it's up to you how much you want in your soup. I tried the garlic after it's been in the soup and it tasted sweet! The soup comes with a whole chicken and inside it was a nice surprise. There was sticky rice mixed with garlic and what looks like jujubes. The soup felt very comforting and just reminded me of home. A really good dish to have on a cold day!Overall a great experience and I would come here again to enjoy their other dishes!
