Bonchon Midtown Houston

We literally stumbled on this place. We got lucky an found a parking spot right in front. You could smell the food so of course we went inside. They had live music going and when I tell you the artist could SING! If you love live music, the you HAVE to go see this guy. I added a video so you can hear him sing. We ordered the Korean Fried Chicken w/ Psoy Garlic and Spicy Korean. The wings were fried hard and really flavorful. 8/10 Bulgogi Rice which was EXCELLENT! 10/10 Shrimp Shaumi wasn't very good. It may be a required taste, but we didn't like the texture in the inside. 4/10 MY wife got the complimentary pickled radish and she traded it in for the coleslaw. I didn't get a Pic but the coleslaw was good. The service was really good. The place wasn't crowded and the waitress was very attentive and helpful with menu selections.

Someone recommended this place to me. It was my first time, and my wife and I loved it. We ordered a 10-piece drumstick fried chicken with a mix of Korean BBQ flavor and spicy flavor. The drumsticks were def LARGE size drumsticks. My wife and I didn’t expect them to be so big, but considering the cost, we could understand why. The skin was very crispy, but the flavor was definitely the best part of it all. We finished the order of 10 drumsticks between the both of us. But honestly, an order of 10 drumsticks could definitely feed 3 people. We also ordered the seafood rice, which was very flavorful. The rice could’ve had a little more protein, but nonetheless it was still great. The service was a little late on this day and as a courtesy the server gave us a free dessert, which we greatly appreciated. She did apologize and explain that at the same time we ordered there was a large takeout order that came in. We did appreciate the little extra effort in making up for the wait, many restaurants should learn from this. The environment seemed very friendly and spacious. The restaurant was very clean. As far as price is concerned, it is a little pricy. The 10-piece drumstick, which comes with a little side(coleslaw), was $30 by itself. That did NOT include the rice. So, one will have to consider price, this is not your local chicken shack, but you definitely get what you pay for. I would definitely recommend this place to all. This is a must-try fried chicken spot. Never eaten fried chicken like this, but I will definitely be coming back.

Happen to drive by and notice this restaurant. I wasn’t hungry but my wife and I decided to try it out. We were planing to dine in and then decided to take out. The staff were nice and offered us a booth while we waited for our order. We ordered 3 different small chicken combos (wing and drums). Price for the 3 orders are reasonable for the amount of food! Chicken pieces are large, the spices are good and the chicken is crunchy - even after the 15 minute drive home. I like this place! Going back again for sure. Should have taken photos before jumping in but they were really good and took some photos afterwards. 🤣🤣

I’m very disappointed with the portion/ quality compared to the price they are charging. My boneless wings were so tiny and barely sauced please look at my pic lol it looks like McDonald’s dry chicken nuggets. I only received 10 for $15.95. Received a handful of fries for $8 lol I feel very much scammed but I live in Spring so the drive back was not worth it. Mine didn’t even come in the traditional Bonchon boxes..I don’t know what’s going on but the price is increasing and what we get in return is decreasing. I’ll probably drive further and try a different location next time. The staff is friendly though..never too many customers in there, probably due to location.

Tried ordering the yum drum trio online and got the “credit card validation error” yet there was no attempt on my card. I tried two other cards and got the same error. Went in person and they don’t offer the deal, so I used the exact same card to place an order there for $10 more. Not the employees fault but they don’t care either. If the offer isn’t available, don’t display it on the website. I’ve had this food in NYC before and $20+ for wings and fries is a joke! Fingers crossed it’s actually worth it in Houston…

My boyfriend and I ate here the other day and I'm still thinking of how great the food was ♡ We will definitely be back. Service was great and the people there was nice. I had the Takoyaki and the Soy Garlic Boneless Wings with rice while my boyfriend had the big drumstick pieces with fries (Spicy and Soy Garlic) Highly recommend! ♡

The food was soooo YUMMY! I got the chicken wing lunch special with a Modelo. Prices are good but i def wanna come back for the Happy Hour! The smell and flavor of the wings is sooo good. And the spicy is actually kickin so watch out if you don’t really do spicy! I loved both spicy and spy flavors of the wings and the seasoned fries looked like garlic parm to me. My friend got the bulgogi fries and they were AMAZING! Meat was flavorful and the spicy mayo really topped it off. The service was great and i was surprised to not see it as packed during lunch. Definitely worth eating out at!

Food was tasty and terrific. Was very surprised how big the portion sizes were for the chicken drumsticks. Breaded and cooked to perfection. And juicy! Fries were hot and crunchy! We went during the early afternoon. Great environment and service. Highly recommend. Free limited parking just around the corner!
