“ Greeter was very nice and knowledgeable.. explained the process on how the wings are cooked. I got the fries with steak starter.. was absolutely delish. My cousin got strips with the spicy sauce.. the spice sneaks up on you, would've been better with a dipping sauce. Apparently El guapo is a local beer that's hard to find now and they have it. ”
“ I've always loved this restaurant and decided to introduce my friends from Florida the wonderful flavors of Bonchon. When we sat down, my eyes kept darting to the poster for the new Loaded Bulgogi Fries. The picture looked amazing but I was hesitant about ordering it. One of my friends ordered the Loaded Bulgogi Fries, the other ordered Bulgogi and kimchi. I ordered 8 Half and Half Drumsticks and 8 Half and Half Potstickers so they could give them a try. My friend loved the Bulgogi, it was good when I had my sample. The drumsticks and the potstickers were a hit for them. BUT THE STAR OF TODAY'S SHOW WAS THE DAMN LOADED BULGOGI FRIES!! Ladies and gentlemen, you have to try this! The fries are perfectly fried and seasoned and the bulgogi is layered on top of the fries. Honestly, the fries are fabulous solo dolo but with the bulgogi the taste sensation explodes in your mouth. I will definitely return here to order my own order of the Loaded Bulgogi Fries. Our server was great, the restaurant was clean, & the vibes were nice with some good tunes playing in the background while there are a few TV's playing sports and other programming. ”
“ I waited for a whole month and multiple times of eating here to give this review. The staff are amazing and very friendly. The place is always clean, they make sure to double clean when people leave as well. The food(s) are awesomesauce and it’s always a hit, never a miss with this place. I love the Authenticity of Korean fried chicken they have here. You even get the radish. Their side dishes are good too and I love their overall menu but my favorite that I seem to go back for always is the half and half flavor fried chicken. For my military folks, they have military discount. There is an upstairs to eat at but unfortunately due to COVID it can’t be used. Sunday parking is free y’all so go check this place out. I guarantee that you’ll love it too They also have a bar there. I personally haven’t tried it but it’s there for my drinkers/adventurers. ”
“ The food here is really good and the service is a little odd but they are friendly and efficient. Wasn’t sure if you were supposed to have a seat or order at the kiosk. In our case we were told to have a seat. ”
“ My daughter and I had a wonderful visit over the weekend. The double fry on the wings gives such an amazing crunch. I liked the soy garlic and my daughter liked the Korean BBQ sauce. I also got a bibimbop which was super tasty. Great service too. It was a really friendly atmosphere and I loved the music playlist. ”
“ Update post: 2-14-25, by far the best memory I created here. Food is definitely top-tier. I had the BBQ potstickers and that shit was amazing. I can not wait to return ”
“ This location is located in Downtown Norfolk across from TCC College. It's on the corner and it has two stories. The upstairs is mainly for large parties. The downstairs is for four or fewer parties, pickups, and the bar. I have been wanting to try Korean fried chicken, and it did not disappoint. It's best to come with a party because the food is very pricey. You get to choose from small, medium, or large. The higher you go, the more the cost. Since it was our first time there, we were warned that they do not season their chicken. The flavor comes from the sauce in which they put on their chicken. The choices are Soy Garlic or Spicy, and you can get it mixed. It may come with pickle radish or coleslaw. I just so happened to try both. The pickle radish was very hard and crunchy. The coleslaw wasn't as flavorful but decent. We had mixed wings, and I must say I liked them both! They were juicy, crunchy, and bursting with flavor. We also had a side order of fries and white rice. My daughter had plain wings and rice. We also tried the Korean BBQ chicken wings and it was not hitting. We did end up taking wings home as well. I will definitely recommend this place, and I will be back again. They also have another location in Virginia Beach if you do not wish to travel to Norfolk. ”
“ I absolutely love Bonchon! The food is always amazing. The staff is very professional and super friendly. The chicken is top tier. Every dish is made to perfection. By far this best. The atmosphere is warm an inviting. This is definitely a 10! ”
