“Super flavorful, crispy chicken.”
Super flavorful, crispy chicken! We ordered the Mixed Fried Chicken option (10) with a mix of wings and drums. Our selected sauces were the Spicy and the Soy Garlic. Amazing flavors! Don’t underestimate the spiciness of the spicy, it’s pretty strong but very tasty! Soy garlic was amazingly balanced in flavor. The pickled radishes offered a nice acid to the meal and tamed the spicy wings. We will absolutely return to this location- the staff was incredibly friendly and quick.

Very yummy food! We ordered the smallest portion of wings and were able to pick multiple sauce choices for them. The vegetable potstickers were DELICIOUS! Food came out in a timely manner. Server/Host was friendly. Bathrooms available to customers only.

“No wait when I went, but got really busy once we were seated.”
No wait when I went, but got really busy once we were seated. Was shortly after opening. We had the Seoul sampler and really enjoyed it. Would definitely go back to try more things.

“I gone there with my fiends and the food was very good and filling.”
I gone there with my fiends and the food was very good and filling. I loved the soy and garlic sauce on the boneless wings. I was kind of surprised that the food are large portions instead, especially the fries. I'll definitely come there with my friends again or order for delivery.

“Awesome korean fried chicken.”
Awesome korean fried chicken. It was busy when we were there but the service was pretty quick. Both dishes we got were good but the Korean fried chicken stood out as the better of the two. Wish they had this in Indy. We will be back :) This chain has become my daughters favorite chicken. We have now also visited a location in Bangkok and Chiang Mai. They were great. It's good stuff. We need a location in Indiana now.

“They specialize in Korean style fried chicken, moist, hot and crispy.”
They specialize in Korean style fried chicken, moist, hot and crispy. All versions have the sweet soy glaze taste, the hot is pretty hot and will make you sweat. Bulgogi steak rice was ok, was not a fan of the chicken katsu. This location is definitely better than the suburbs. Denver location was the worst one yet.

“The fried drumsticks here are beyond amazing!”
The fried drumsticks here are beyond amazing!! That’s all I had from here and I highly recommend trying them out I’ve never had chicken this good before! Bonchon is now of my fav places!! Absolutely tasty and juicy and just pure satisfying taste!! You gotta come try their drum sticks if you haven’t already! I recommend doing half and half of spicy and the soy garlic, the spicy ones are decently spicy not for people with weak spice game but the soy garlic tastes incredible!!

“Really good wings.”
Really good wings. Kind of pricey though. Dips are not included with the wings and extra charge. Service was good. They only have 3 flavors for the wings, hopefully they add a spicier sauce because the spicy wasnt spicy enough for me but it was still very good. Definitely will come back

“Would give 6 stars if I could for the food.”
Would give 6 stars if I could for the food. Absolutely amazing texture and flavor on both the takoyaki and boneless chicken we ordered! Delicious lychee drinks! Got a mixture of spicy and soy garlic sauces on my chicken and it knocked it out of the park. Partner got chicken katsu and it has rave reviews also from them. Will definitely return someday for a delicious meal again!!

“Everything I ate was delicious!!”
Everything I ate was delicious!!! I had the Korean BBQ and Spicy Boneless chicken with pickled radish, Spicy Chicken fried rice, and Bulgogi fries. The portions were a good size as well. I will definitely eat here again. If you decide to sit and dine here, get here a little earlier because it does get crowded quick

“I went to this location on 6/11/2023, it was my first time trying it after seeing it so often in Chinatown Square.”
I went to this location on 6/11/2023, it was my first time trying it after seeing it so often in Chinatown Square. I went around a hour before closing. It was pretty empty but the customer service was amazing. I ordered the wings with the flavors of soy garlic and spicy. The chicken was crispy and juicy in which I loved. I also ordered the chicken fried rice it Was full of flavor. I will definitely be back to try again.
