Reviews for Bonchon Arden in Sacramento, CA
I have heard great things about Korean Fried Chicken. I was finally in Sacramento when the restaurant was open. I stopped here... for dinner around 5pm. I ordered the small boneless wings with soy garlic. The chicken was dry and stringy with very little soygarlic sauce. The chicken seemed and tasted to be left over from lunch and reheated. We also got the Japchae which was extraoily with overpowering red pepper flavor. We had 3 small pieces of meat in the Japchae. The beverages was limited as most ofthe choices were out. I will look for a better Korean restaurant. I will not go back to this restaurant. Read more
First time trying this. For me the wings were too dry. I tried both flavors. I also ordered the pork belly bao buns. The pork... was dry too. I had pickled radish on the side and those were good ????. Read more
I?ve had Bonchon twice now and both times have been great! The first time I went I ordered the chicken wings spicy. I love spicy... thing so I wasn?t expecting it to be too spicy. But man after four wings I needed water ASAP lol. The wings have a nice taste tothem and also the spicy have a nice sweet taste and balance out the sweet and spicy. What I love most about the place were thefries they were super crunchy and fresh. They also have a spicy mayo sauce that essentially is Sriracha mix with mayo. It ispretty good to dip fries in. I like how they have inside seating both on normal tables and also high chair of tables. They alsohave some seating outside. Another thing they have is the Coca-Cola machine that has a whole bunch of flavors. I?ll be backsoon. Read more
Just had a work meeting and my coworker recommended this place for lunch. I?m really happy she did!! We got the Japchae bowl and... 10 piece wings combo. It was the perfect size for two hungry adults. The staff are very friendly and explained everything indetail when they found out that I have never been to this place. They have dining area inside and outside. Just one thing that Ifelt I need to mention, if you are sensitive to hot things or spicy food, do not go near the hot wings. I have finished thewings 10 minutes ago and my lips are still burning. It is hot BUT I would get them :) Read more
BEWARE! If you go for the strips, their recipe changed! We went to bonchon twice this week because I thought that I was the one... at fault for possibly ordering boneless wings rather than the strips but no. They?re no longer the nice thinly-breaded crispy &soaked in sauce chicken breasts that we regularly go for - now they?re overly-breaded chicken tenders that you could get at anyfast food restaurant for way cheaper. To top it off, while their sauce is still good, they drizzle it atop the ?strips? & do notfully coat it like they should which could probably help their case if they did. You can see the dry spots with no sauceeffortlessly in the picture I included. And yes this was the case for both visits. Ironically enough, they give you the optionof boneless wings vs strips but there?s not a single difference between the two. I was willing to pay $40 for 30 pieces ofstrips before but not anymore, they?re definitely overpriced for being the cheap quality that they are now. So sad because Iused to love going here. Also wish they gave a disclaimer at the least. Read more
I adore this chain. Both their soy garlic and spicy flavors are SO good. Their chicken always fried perfectly. And their fries... are fricken heavenly. Comes with pickled radishes or slaw. The combo with 3 drums and 6 wings is $13 roughly. Tried theirtakoyaki and it were super hot and fresh, just like how you get em in Japan. Service was very friendly. We got beers, which were$5 a cup on tap. You have to wait a little long for the food to come out but you won't be disappointed, promise. In the pastI've had their ddeobokki and it was also delicious, albeit super duper spicy. Would reccomend dining in at this location, as itis nicely ACed and has lots of natural bright light and high windows. Read more
I found a new favorite place to get chicken, it's similar to Brandy fried chicken, idk maybe it is. The first time there I got... spicy on my chicken strip combo and oh boy was it hot, and I have a very high tolerance for heat. I went back today because Icouldn't stop thinking about it and got soy garlic this time. Also amazing. They have those crisper fries which are the best! Read more
Love this double fried chicken in the soy garlic sauce fried to perfection. The fries seem to be battered as well which give... them an excellent double crunch as well. Definitely recommend for anyone who loves chicken and especially loves fried chicken. Read more
