Bonchon — Restaurant in Roseville

When they say the food is spicy believe them. Had edamame and potstickers to start. Both were pleasant, neither was knock your socks off different but they were good.

The edamame comes with a bucket to spit the husks into, which was nice.

Tried both the Bulgogi , some of the Salmon salad , AND the "half and half so 3 sweet (terriaki like soy sauce) and the hot wings.

The hot wings and the bulgogi stole the show. Rich and 'deep' flavor for both. The steak was perfectly prepared and the sauce for the wings was some of the best tasting heat , I've ever had. Wings were crispy/crunchy and it was served within a minute from being pulled out of the fryer or out of the oven..they were crazy hot and the sauce matched its intensity for heat.

The salmon itself was cooked well , not perfect. Was a little to dry and the salad itself lacked much flavor outside of that.

All in all the bill was around $63 but the 1/2 and half was $11 and the wings were meaty enough for most people to fill up on Oh, almost forgot those came with a side. I chose the rice...which was very poorly cooked. The flavor was empty and I really should've gone with the kimchi. However, having the spicy wings , I was thinking I'd need something to combat that. Poor choice.

The sterile environment and uncomfortable chairs aren't an accident. Every place seems to be going this way for ease in cleanup and to move people along when done eating. I hated it. Although 2 giant TV's showing the cooking channel was better than poor artwork.

The bulgogi ($18) and hot wings are worth going there. More...

Before coming to the restaurant, I checked the website and a member of our party asked on a prior visit if menu items could be made gluten free. This person was told that all we would have to do is ask. One of the reasons this was the pick is because there would be options.

We were there to celebrate in a decent sized group. We were there with not a complete time crunch, but short enough on time that we couldn't pick another place to eat.

Guess how many things the staff said were gluten free? Guess how many things the staff said they could make gluten free?

There are two items on the menu that are GF. There are zero items on the menu that can be made GF. I don't know if the staff needs training, I don't know if it's a location by location decision or if it's a staff by staff decision.

I do know it sucks to do the leg work both on the website and with staff prior... And still have a choice of two things, edamame or Mexican Street corn. I'm leaving this review to hopefully save others the trouble. Food allergy? Pick somewhere else and don't believe anyone on staff if they tell you differently. That's all.

Update after BonChon response: not about to reach out to the restaurant. I did that, I was lied to. When I brought my business, this location didn't have food for me. That means that I take my business elsewhere in the future and I leave my review here for others to reference. If I'm going to advocate for myself, I need businesses that I can trust to be truthful about their policies. That is...

Had a younger Chinese boy as our waiter. We asked if they served chicken wings without any sauce for my daughter and he said he doesn't think so. I then told him to please ask in the back. He came back and said they do. So I ordered all chicken wings like the menu stated for that specific order. We also order rice and our other orders came with reddish.

When our food came, he brought mix of wings and drummies and so I asked him that I wanted all wings. He said that they weren't able to do that and so I said then why do you guys have it on the menu and it would be nice to have been told that before making the decisions to go on with my order.

Anyways the rice and radishes never came after we got done eating I looked at the receipt and saw that rice and wings were charged. I told him I never got the rice and I'm not gonna pay for it. He didn't even apologize and even looked around to see if we did have rice.

He then said I don't know do they can take it off. I said I'm not paying anything for what I didn't get. So please go talk to your manager. He comes back and said ok they can take it off for you.

Horrible service! Not...
