Bonchon Newark in Newark

Had lunch at Bonchon in Newark.We ordered the drumstick lunch meal, and you get 4 drumsticks with a side coleslaw or fries. You can choose the type of sauces.For first timers, I recommend the mild sauce as the spicy sauce might be a little too spicy. Good size drumsticks and cooked to order, so they were juicy and piping hot.The waitress was very helpful in recommending what to get and what not to get.I assume the restaurant gets busier at night...and that would make sense since they serve alcohol. Korean fried chicken would be fantastic with a cold beer.

The food is delicious and the portions are generous. There were 4 adults in our group and we shared a medium combo and it’s plenty of food for us. The restaurant was very clean, spacious, very well maintained and tastefully decorated. The big screen TVs and bar are great for sports hangouts. Friendly services made the experience even more enjoyable. Convenient location. Plenty of parking. We’ll definitely visit again. Highly recommended!

The chicken is a juicy crispy delight. The zucchini and fries are also delicious. The owner is very friendly and is originally from Korea and they serve you good portions. 👍👌🙏🥗🥙🍤🍗🍗🍗🍖🧀🧇

About 15 tables and a bar. Nice and clean. Bibimbap is great, just like the best ones from a traditional Korean restaurant. Tteokbokki is much heavier and cheesy, very different than traditional ones, and the flavor is rich and creamy, still good in a different way. Both flavors, spicy and garlic soy, of the fried chicken are good, and the crust is crispy but the batter could be a bit thinner. The chicken meat is just mediocre, even a bit stale.

Okay, have their quality gone down and prices up?! I ordered drumstick and wings combo, however, those werent wings. They were like frozen chicken tenders youd buy at the grocery store rolled around their sauce. The fried rice wasnt so bad but it was so disappointing Im not sure will ever be back.

The best fried chicken for miles. And every side is just as delicious. They are fast on the orders but the place is nice enough that you dont mind hanging out for a while.

Ive never left a review, but this restaurant made me to do it. If I could give them 0 star, I would do it.My husband got the half and half chicken (spicy and soy) for to go. When we open the food and had the first bite, it destroyed our dinner at all. The chicken looked like they used left-over food, or they at least refried. In the same piece, the frying paste were both overcooked and too raw by having a several later. In addition, some part tasted and smelled like dishsoap. After having one piece, we just threw it away. It was the worst food that I have ever had, and I cannot believe they sell the food like that.Not only we wasted our money, but also we ruined our dinner.

Love this place. Ordered the large chicken strips the first time and it lasted us like four days. The second time I had the udon and and we shared a medium chicken strips and we still took away 2 boxes of leftovers. Great value, great service.

The chicken is made so perfectly every time. All their sides are tasty! Will definitely be back again and again.

First time coming here and Im already a fan! It was my husband who told me about this place. Since were around the area we decided to stop by. The food is good! We order the medium size half and half chicken. The sauces were soy and spicy. I enjoy more the spicy one than the soy. It has right amount of heat that you can tolerate just the way I like it. Medium size is alot for 2 people, unless your really hungry then maybe you can finish the whole thing. In our case we didnt. We ordered takoyaki as appetizer too, but im not a fan. I find the sauce they used is just on the sweet side for my likeness. And we ordered kimchi as well and that is GOOD! Im not a big fan of kimchi but the one they have is really good.
