Bonchon Murfreesboro - Memorial Blvd — Restaurant in Murfreesboro

We've been seeing sketchy reviews of this place, and we've been waiting for them to open so now here's a white guy review. This place was absolutely amazing, I'm married to a Korean and she was impressed as well.

They were very kind when we came in (went at 11 am as they opened for the day for lunch) and their menu is very easy to understand. They explained all the options for everything so no guesswork.

The food, as pictured, tasted better than it looks! My boneless wings were soy garlic and spicy, which they allow if you choose the half n half option (which is any two of the four wing flavors together) and my wife had drumsticks and kimchi.

They spicy, if you'll allow me to use an Indian restaurant spicy scale, was a heat level of 3 out of 5, with a slow heat taste that's also mildly sweet too which I love. The soy garlic is very delicious! The steamed rice was closer to Korean style sticky rice, which was also good.

The Korean donut we had, you get two big ones per order, was plenty for me and my wife to have one each and be satisfied. Very good flavor (think cinnamon roll but not as sugary sweet) and wasn't a sugar overload. It's served alongside an icing in a cup to dip or whatever.

I've seen reviews about spitting in food and such, no way man. These guys are so kind, and felt no hostility from this place at all. Only thing we could see improvement on was my wife mentioned the kimchi had a weaker taste, compared to normal store bought/homemade. Other than that, definitely give these guys a chance to blow your mind with the great flavors and culture of the...

We stopped by this place tonight to try fast food Korean. Honestly, a great fast food joint. Was everything perfect? No. Is fast food ever perfect? Absolutely not. Yes, the edamame was a little overcooked which made it more difficult to eat, but it was still good. The kimchi wasn't great, but it was decent. The coleslaw wasn't amazing, but it definitely helped with the heat. The tteokbokki was a little different than I've had before, but it was really good. The pickled daikon was excellent. The chicken was exactly what I needed. Is a gluten-free? Absolutely not. I didn't even ask. I was in fast food Korean restaurant that served fried chicken and I was just going for it. The crispy crunch on that chicken is to die for. I got six wings, half spicy and half Korean BBQ. Both were delicious. The spicy is clearly gochujang based, which is a wonderful flavor. The Korean BBQ is not spicy, But the flavor is very good. I tried my friend's french fries, and they were like parmesan fries or something? They had a very crisp exterior and tasted absolutely delicious.

If you cannot tell, the next time I go... I will be ordering chicken, fries, and pickled daikon. And there will definitely be a next time.

Other people have mentioned the cost, but I ordered a six-wing combo that came with a small side and a regular side, an order of edamame, and tteokbokki for a total of about $40. I am incredibly full and have two meals in my fridge. The quantity of food you get for the price is pretty good. My friend ordered the chicken tenders in the smallest number and took home half of her...

Wanted to try Colombian by Lascassas Kroger, but walked out due to ridiculous prices. Decided to give this place a try. Not inexpensive, but I'm used to this. Korean food is typically prepared with much care and pride and costs a little more, and it shows here. GREAT staff, very friendly, and falling over themselves to help you understand everything about their menu options. My 11.95 lunch special had five nice strips, a drink and a side, delivered quickly and piping hot. As a diabetic, I hate the over- sugared sauces I find in most local restaurants. Sugar is a substitute for real flavor, people, and this place has great sauces without heavy sugar. Excellent, moist, crispy chicken. Will try wings in future, but boneless wings are much smaller and just not the value here like chicken strips. Don't understand complaints about cost (except maybe the small boneless wings). The quality, preparation, and amount of food easily justify the prices. Little surprised they offer beer in the fast food environment, but also common in Asian restaurants. CLEAN, CLEAN, CLEAN. With few Veggie options, Vegans will be better served elsewhere. I am about to become a very regular customer, as the menu has lots of...
