Review Bonchon - Astoria

celine bean

they say people make the place. Although the food here is my favorite in the neighborhood, the people make it feel like home. Having moved alone to the city a few months ago, this establishment welcomed me with open arms and introduced me to korean culture through not only their food, but their passionate and hardworking staff. You never feel forgotten about when you dine here, and the food is always just as good when you order takeout, although I recommend eating in so you can enjoy the good conversation from the outgoing servers. They swiftly adapted to a new menu change and staff turnover and each weekend are bustling with customers coming through the door and ordering takeout. I cannot recommend this place highly enough if you want not only a taste of Korea, but a cozy atmosphere to feel at peace in this chaotic city.

Always ordered delivery from here, this is my first time dine in. Food is always great, especially my truffle fries. Got the mango soju frozen drink which is very good. It’s very nice place to hang with friends. Service is also great! Will definitely come back!!

The food here is so good and the service is fast and superb! Their variety of fried chicken wings and the OG BURGER never disappoints. Our server James was very nice and accommodating. We asked for extra Mayo on the side and he also gave us the spicy Mayo sauce which was bomb💣 (in a very good way). Please do dine or order takeout food from this cozy restaurant because the food, the vibe and the service here is impeccable. I am definitely bringing my cousins here next time. ☺️

Really friendly staff, cosy atmosphere. I had the bulgogi bowl and it was delicious - it was also served as a pretty big portion, so it was a really good value. Definitely a good place to hang out with friends for some beers and good Korean food!

Came here to just relax with a friend and have some wings. Was a very quiet night with only a few customers inside. I was taken aback by the "order here" kiosk...really hate those things. There was one guy working the bar and tables. He was very friendly and made us feel welcome. We had truffle fries and a platter of wings. Everything was good and filling for the 2 of us. Environment is cozy, but the orange tarp on the all made it feel a bit...not finished? All in all Id come here again if the bartender was there and it was a quiet night. I do like divey chill places. Prices were a bit high if you are solo dining, but ok if with a few friends.

The food is amazing here! We had their spicy soy garlic wings and the signature OG burger with fries for this visit. James, the person who served us our food, was super nice and made sure we had a great experience there. We have also had their spicy crispy chicken burger and honey garlic wings before (for delivery), and those were just as good! Great portions and flavours, the place plays good music and is kept very clean. If you’re in Astoria, definitely get something to eat here.

SO GOOD!!!!! Sweet and spicy sauce level 2! Had BBQ sauce and ranch on the side. Delicious. Very crunchy. Service was pretty quick. Portion was huge for 2 people, but we were really hungry and almost ate it entirely. Would recommend for delivery or takeout! We chose to eat outside which was freezing, nothing the restaurant could have done differently with that though.

I visited this place shortly after lunch hours to grab some of their soy garlic wings. The chicken was incredibly crispy and they had a good amount of sauce: enough to draw out the flavor without having so much your hands become irrevocably sticky. They have a full bar, but the bartender was eager to provide me with several glasses of water. Overall, this is a great place for Korean wings.

Had some good beers and some good food. Fries were crunchy and filled to the brim with flavor. Wings were great as well. Just an overall great experience. Service was okay but for was superb. Best suited for smaller parties of 5 or less ideally. Would go back though.

My new favorite chicken wing spot. The Mac and cheese was great and the fried rice was Amazing and so fresh. The place was very clean and open late which is hard to find nowadays.

Cute little spot over at Broadway! Very quiet and chill atmosphere with delicious wings and drinks! I recommend getting their truffle fries and spicy soy garlic wings. Don’t be afraid to order spicy as it’s a tasty spicy and not a burn my mouth off type of spicy. I also had their strawberry coronarita and it was super sweet and lit up. Great for your tastebuds and IG!

This place was amazing! Some of the best fried chicken I’ve had. I highly recommend the Cajun spice and the spicy soy garlic. And not that expensive.
