Bonchon Costa Mesa

The people who work here are very nice. They are very attentive. As soon as you walk through the door you are greeted. They ask you if you would like to dine in or order to go and help you right away. I have eaten here with my mother twice. We had to order the Bulgogi tacos again because they are delicious! The rib eye is cooked to perfection! We had the parmesan fries the first time and they were good. We decided to try the Kimchi Bacon Fried Rice this time. We did not it was going to be spicy so be prepared but it was still good.

I ordered the small half and half combo last night which was a mixture of wings and drumsticks dressed in the soy garlic and spicy flavors. It came with a side of pickled radish. There are plenty of good KoFC joints around, but Bonchon takes the cake! It was incredible. Looking at the skin, you can see all the flavor in the nooks and crannies ready to make your palate come alive. The soy garlic pieces were nicely balanced. The sweet and sour notes danced in my mouth with the first crunch before settling on an herbal finish. And what a first crunch it was! As I sunk my teeth into the crisp, hot skin of a drumstick a wonderful plume of steam burst forth taking over my senses and surrounding me with a cloud of umami. The wings were a nice size. I usually stuggle with the flat pieces. I find they aren't very good unless fried and, even so, well done. These were a delight. The spicy wings were indeed spicy, and flavorful, but I could have used some sauce on the side. The picked radish was a nice touch and helped break up the flavors. I took this order to go. I hope to update my review with a full sit down session soon.

One of the best bao buns and Korean fried chicken I've had in a while. Excellent service from the staff, and food was so good. There was so much we wanted to try, will have to return!Food: 5/5

Greasy noodles, hardly any meat, but plenty onions. The only thing worth eating here seems to be the fried chicken. Everyone around that’s all they ordered.

Love the food here! Service was excellent as well. We ordered Jasmine tea with lychee, fried rice, wings, seasoned fries, and a couple of other dishes, and every single item was delicious!
