Reviews for Bonchon Mountain view in Mountain View, CA
Signature bonchon Korean fried chicken, super crispy and right amount of sauce. Sometimes the crispy texture is a hit or miss in... some bonchons I have had it before, this place got it perfect. Also had korean beef tacos and chicken friend rice, both wereexcellent. Great customer service too. Fun place to have some drinks, eat food and hangout as a group. In pictures: 1. Koreanfried chicken wings and drums combo with half soy garlic and half spicy sauce. With pickled radish 5/5 2. Korean tacos 5/5 3.Chicken fried rice 5/5 Would recommend to eat it fresh in-store to get the awesome crunch of the wings. Read more
Really, really good Korean fried chicken! Love this location as well! Everything is seasoned really nicely, and made pretty... quickly. Meat isn't dry, and breading isn't soggy. Coleslaw, fries, and pickled radish are great as well. I only knocked offone star because, (I know this isn't the restaurant's fault), but the chicken boxes are super flimsy and after you get thechicken, they kind of just fall apart. Overall a great restaurant, with great food! Will come back! ???? Read more
the chicken here is solid (not literally, but the flavors were really good!). i got both types of chicken (the have spicy and... soy) and neither disappointed. i love that the spicy is *actually* spicy, but not overwhelmingly so. sides were fantastictoo?the takoyaki and fries were delicious. the staff and atmosphere was super kind :) Read more
We usually order to-go at Bonchon but not this day. 'twas our first time to order their sides, esp their rice and they did not... disappoint. Read more
One of my best friends is from Seoul. She told me not to eat here. And... Okay, it's pretty tasty! Our soy garlic & spicy... chicken was fine. I just think it's unimaginative Look, it had 3 problems: (1) The chicken meat was pretty flavorless. Clearlywas not marinated. (2) The batter was not light and crunchy. It was tasty, but heavy; kind of felt gross after a couplepieces. (3) The flavors were one-dimensional. The three options are: plain, sort of savory, and hot-spicy. Again, it's tasty.It's just, other nearby places (Von's, bb.q) are the same price with a much more nuanced and delicious experience. Read more
The staff is extremely welcoming and friendly. The service is great. Have both indoor and outdoor seating, so pick whatever... makes you comfortable, but for a Saturday afternoon, definitely outdoor for me, just enjoy the nice California weather abit. The portion is pretty good, me and my girlfriend ordered a small combo, and it seems to be the right amount. The skin iscrispy for sure. The meat is tender. Overall, pretty good. Read more
The zucchini fries were too salty and they tasted like paper because they put them hot in the paper bag. The plastic utensils... were cheap and weak that it was hard to eat with them. The fried chicken can be ordered plain or drench in sauce but you cannotorder plain fried chicken with sauce on the side. The Bibimbap was not served in a hot stone, it was not good. The japchaewas bland, missing the regular salt/sweetness to it. They ran out of juice and pineapple juice, water was it! The wholeexperience tonight was horrible. I will not return and I do not recommend it. Read more
I have been to Bonchon in Chicago and wanted to try this one. The food is good and the service is pleasant. Quantity is decent... for the price. The spice level for their spicy sauce is American level, not Asian. Read more
