Bonchon 38th St

I needed to grab a quick bite before heading out to the airport. The drumsticks were so big I had to end up packing to carry out. Great customer service and the place has a nice ambiance to it.

Service was ok but the food didn't blow us away. The fried chicken lacked flavour. It was supposed to be coated in sauce but the coating was far from adequate. The K fries were a bit meh!

Fantastic, Crispy Korean Chicken! Setup -- planned to get a few slices at Joe's Pizza on way back to Midtown, but lines were insane, so had our eye on this earlier, but was closed. SO glad we stopped in!! Food -- big menu and so many things I would have loved to try, but went with Korean fried chicken combo that included 2 drums and 4 wings. Went with the super spicy option and this was heaven on a plate! Not exactly how sure they get it so crispy, but would love some tips for frying wings at home. The breading is tasty, yummy, and perfect bite of spice. It almost has a faint touch of sweetness to it, but the spiciness balances it perfectly. The ranch was not the greatest, but who cares with how amazing this food tastes. B got the tacos and she got more then she thought. She was assuming the chicken tacos would come out fairly small as most restaurants serve. Nope. They were huge and there were four! These were also great, hitting the taste buds just right. Even though I highly recommend sticking with the chicken, this is also a yum option. Drink -- standard drink menu. Went with a Sapporo and not sure its ever paired as well as it did with this awesome chicken. Service -- super helpful and friendly waiter. Happy to explain menu and make recommendations. Very prompt in attending to any needs. Vibe/Scene -- seated by host behind the bar by calling to waiter in empty tables. Upstairs and downstairs seating available. Simple and straightforward and that's all thats needed when your food is this good. Value -- excellent value. Wouldve happily paid more of needed for the quality and taste of this food, but extremely reasonable, something you don't see a whole lot. Summary -- if you're a fan of fried chicken, make a stop ASAP!!

We had Bonchon in Thailand about 8 years ago and have talked about it ever since. So we were pleasantly surprised to stumble upon it in NYC. We got the lunch deal which runs till 2.30pm and gets you 10 wings and a side. We went for boneless half n half (5 garlic and soy, 5 spicy). The spicy ones for us were really spicy, I was sweating but good. If I went again I'd probably just go for garlic and soy. The highlight for me was actually the seasoned fries. The seasoning is so good, tastes like chicken salt you'd get in a place like Red Rooster in Aus. The chips were actually cold but I didn't mind because they were so flavoursome. I wouldn't dine here it you're looking for something fancy, it's pretty casual but serves its purpose well.

Love this place. Like the location, near Penn Station, best chicken wings I've had in a Ling time, very crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, great fries and onion rings.

Coming back from a college tour and wanted to try Korean chicken. The pork buns were quite good and the fries were seasoned perfectly. We ordered the wings/drumsticks medium combo with soy garlic and spicy sauce. The spicy sauce was much better with interesting spicy/sweet taste. Overall it was very delicious👍

Great mostly to go Korean Fried chicken and more!!! I love going here for lunch to grab some wings or boneless spicy Korean fried chicken. They have a great lunch special and you can get a mix of spicy and soy garlic. The Tuesday taco special (I believe it’s three chicken or bulgogi tacos for $10) is great!!

I ordered the crispy soy garlic strips lunch special. It was so soggy and underwhelming...it felt like the chicken was fried earlier in the day. Tasted like low grade teriyaki chicken from a fast food restaurant. Never again.
