Bonchon Allston: Reviews & Ratings
Fried chicken is still great but what is going on with the dinning room completely empty at 7:00 pm on a Saturday. Al the other Korean Restaurants in the area where packed
I haven't been to Bonchon in while since i do not live in the area, coming out on a friday night was pleasant. Got seated immediately and was given waters. Waiter kept up with refilling our drinks since the food we picked was quite spicy. The food was amazing, there were korean tacos but they got eaten before i was able to even take a picture. The pork bao buns were very good, the pork was a bit fatty but it was cooked perfect so it melted in my mouth. The fried chicken always hits, their spicy is no joke spicy so if you can't handle heat definitely stick to the regular BBQ. Their drums are huge and the skin is super crunchy, meat falls off the bone. The only real inconvenience was that that food was too hot to eat when it came out, definitely not complaining about that! But, did burn my mouth trying to dig into my main course because it was too hot to eat. Their special fries have a great crunch and seasoned very well. The donut was amazing, it comes out fresh, hot, crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside served with a side of sweetened condensed milk, to die for. They had basketball games playing, loved that. Couple of TVs, kept me entertained for sure. Not a loud environment, could enjoy my meal and have a conversation with my significant other without having to yell across the table. Not sure why this place doesn't have better reviews, love Bonchon!
Spicy ALERT: the spicy option for the fried chicken is REALLY SPICY so beware! Today we decided to have the soy garlic flavor and it was tasty as always! The chicken is breaded and double fried before being tossed in sauce for that extra perfect crunch! Also know that their drum sticks are HUGE (the size of my face) if you decide to try them out~ The tteokbokki was also pretty spicy but enjoyable The bulgogi udon had a strong shittake mushroom based broth flavor and had an overall very comforting taste 10/10 fried chicken craving satisfied
Food was delish have been going here for a long time never disappointed. Had the chicken wings half and half white rice and kimchi. Amazingly and flavorful. The spicy one make sure you have your radishes close by lol. Service was great they're two gentlemen there that are very helpful and making sure you are all set. Very good customer service. Ambience great as well. Very busy but by the taste of this food you know why. When you are in the area please go.
