Bonchon

I forgot to take photos, but I definitely recommend the daily special. We paid $9 for three drumsticks and a rice box. They drumsticks are HUGE. I brought into the theater and was shocked how big it is. I ordered soy garlic and the spicy one. They were all tender inside and crispy outside. This is going to be my regular now.

My group had a ~$100 order through the Bonchon website for delivery. We specifically asked for them to hand it to us and not just leave it on the ground outside a friend's apartment building. They didn't listen, we searched all around the building and found nothing. We were outside waiting to pickup the order when the driver was nearby. I really doubt it ever was delivered because we were at the only entrance.We then went over to the mall to ask what could be done and were told that there wasn't anything that could be done. They couldn't even find a way to contact the driver. It was a bit ridiculous for food delivery in San Francisco. We ended up eating elsewhere because we weren't going to reward them with another $100 order when they couldn't help us with our original order.

I used to go to Bonchon Arlington VA a lot! When I still lived there. That one in Clarendon (two blocks away to my old house) and the one in Annandale VA. Both were so good! This one in SF is not the Bonchon I remember back on the east coast, not even close!The chicken weren't crispy, the taste were bland.It's very unfortunate these people in SF get to experience these inferior version of Bonchon chicken.

This BONchon always has daily specials!!!I got the two drumsticks for 6.50 before taxFood is made fresh and hot!You order on the machine. It's located in metron

I'm usually a fan of bonchon, but the tenders here were quite tough and hard to eat. The sauce was also not evenly distributed.

Just a mid experience at this Bonchon. I used to frequent Bonchon in a different city often and wanted to try out the location next to the movie theater. I had a gift card, but the employees didn't really know how to apply it. With that said, the workers were extremely friendly, and I enjoyed interacting with them. Regarding the food, the wings were good! We got the soy garlic and spicy and both were tasty. On the other hand, the tteokbokki was a huge disappointment. Did not taste like tteokbokki at all, honestly tasted like tomato sauce. The best part of this dish was ironically the fried dumplings.

They got two kiosk of order here which takes forever for people to choose what they want. Not the joint's problem. had bulgogi sliders to try and the usual wings. wings is the same, bland inside, flavorful outside breading. it comes with radish; didnt choose rice cause its of low quality. spent $30 for wings and slider. I may try it again next year when i visit my mom cause less choice of food here at metreon but wont be my first choice.waited 12mins for the food with 5 people ahead of me. pretty impressive of how fast it was. they charge you for the operating fee which i never heard off.

Chicken had a nice crunch! The flavors soy garlic (couldn't taste much garlicky flavor) and Korean BBQ were very similar, with the later being slightly spicy. Jap chae was so so. Somehow salty and not much flavor. The beef in it was good.Radish side dish were crunchy and refreshing! Overall decent, especially for a mall. Casual spot, good for going before the movies or for groups that want a variety of food (lots of other food stalls nearby). But very expensive for Korean fried chicken ($33+ for 12 pieces )and japchae ($18).

I have recently visited this Bonchon chicken spot with a friend for lunch. We had a to go order and had to wait some time because they were busy. My chicken wings were good but a bit too dry on the inside. Octopus balls were not what I expected and they were drizzled in the sauce which overpowered the entire dish. Bulgogi fries were a miss because it felt like the meat was dry and the fries were left to wish the best. Overall it was okay but I would definitely try other options for next time.

If I could go lower than a 1 star, I would. I do not know how you can be in a food court next to a convention center and still not know how to handle a mass lunch rush. I literally waited for 50 minutes for my food. I got the chicken but not the daikon. My order number was 244, but they started handing out orders for the 260s!!! WTF. Absolute chaos in fulfilling orders that you literally order with a touch screen. Never again. Missed out on my lunch meeting being an actual lunch meeting. We stood talking while waiting for our food.
