We have been coming here for almost 4 years and the quality is always the same. One of the crispiest chicken wings I ever tasted. Their seasoned fries are something else. Always flavorful and crispy. Staff is friendly and quick. Highly recommended.

Love their Soy Garlic + spicy mayo combo. We all had a great dinner. Even the kids enjoyed the chicken, fries is also good. 🙌

Just wow. Worth 1 hr of traveling. The chicken skin are super crispy. I have never eat chicken wing to the bone til tonight. 8 piece is perfect for 1 person. They are super busy but still got my wings fast. They also got bar style seat to eat and drink. Wish they have one in Rancho Cucamonga. 2nd time, got more stuff.

I had BonChon many times in Thailand but this is the first time in USA and everything was different. This place has a local and cozy vibe. The server was very friendly and the food was more well-rounded than just fried chickens. The fried chicken was nice still, and worth ordering. The coating was thin and flaky. Inside was very juicy. I went when they had $1 wings promotion and I think it's still ongoing. This promotion made it really worth it. The pickled radish goes better than the coleslaw as a side to me. The bibimbap was very good too and it’s priced by which protein you pick. The Korean corn and corn dog didn’t stand out to me, but I think the food overall still deserve 5 stars.

Dropped by Bonchon in San Gabriel with my brother for a late dinner, and it definitely hit the spot. We started with the bulgogi fries—perfect portion to share, and the sauce was on point. Only thing we wished for was a little more bulgogi on top. For the main event, we ordered the medium combo (8 wings and 4 drumsticks) with soy garlic and spicy flavors. Both were insanely good. You could tell they took the time to hand-brush the sauce on each piece—the chicken was fully coated, super crispy, and addicting. Every bite had us going back for more. We added pickled radish on the side, which was a smart move—it helped refresh our palate between the two bold flavors. For drinks, we tried the Terra beer from Korea, and it paired perfectly with the fried chicken. One last thing worth mentioning—they squeezed us in 30 minutes before closing on a Sunday night. Total MVPs for that. Honestly, one of the best spots for fried chicken in the SGV. We’ll definitely be back.

The food is so delicious here!! The fries were crunchy, the meat sweet and flavorful, and the sauce was good! The tacos are delicious too especially the spicy ones. At the end we had a donut for dessert and it was warm and sweet. Perfect to end our dinner. Our waiter was very amiable and attentive. He gave us suggestions and was very nice! Definitely will be returning.

The crispy wings and seasoned fries are customer favorites!! These wings are double fried and their signature sauces are brushed on. It’s crunchy, sweet, spicy, salty and tangy! I couldn’t resist trying one of their new menu items: bulgogi Tteokbokki. The best of both worlds! So savory! The perfect chewy bite!! Don’t miss out on their Korean corn dog, pork belly bao buns, and crispy, spicy chicken sandwich!!

Came by the other day with some coworkers after seeing they had a $1 wing special (dine-in only). Bonchon is known for their Korean Fried Chicken, and they definitely deliver on that crispy goodness. I went with the Yangnyeom and Soy Garlic sauces—both packed with flavor and hit the spot. For a buck each? That’s a steal. I also tried their chicken sandwich with fries and was pleasantly surprised. The sandwich was juicy and flavorful—not dry at all. They’ve got happy hour drink deals too, which is a nice bonus. The shop is on the smaller side, so there might be a wait depending on when you go. But overall, when I’m craving KFC in the SGV, this spot is high on the list.

We recently stopped by Bonchon in San Gabriel and ordered a generous batch of 30 wings, and let me just say… this place delivers on crunch. The wings were perfectly crispy and crunchy, just the way Korean fried chicken should be with a crust-like finish, and came in three delicious flavors: the iconic Soy Garlic, the sweet and smoky Korean BBQ, and a third flavor yangyeom that rounded things out beautifully. Each bite had that satisfying texture that Bonchon is known for, with flavors that hit all the right notes. To wash it down, we had two Angry Orchard ciders on draft—crisp, refreshing, and a perfect pairing to the spicy-savory wings. Overall, this visit was a hit, and I’d confidently give Bonchon San Gabriel a 7 out of 7 wings. Also worth noting: they seem to run monthly promotions, so it’s a good idea to check in regularly for deals or new items.

I came here for lunch on Presidents' Day and it was packed. There was a bit of a wait but the waiters we're all really courteous and made sure I were served. They quickly responded to any additional requests or questions. We ordered the wings lunch special, seasoned fries, pickled radish, and pork buns. The fries were delicious with or without ketchup. The pork buns were full of flavor and tender, balanced out with cole slaw. The picked radish were cut in small cubes and had just the right amount of sourness. It paired really well with the wings. The wings were the most popular items so it came last. It was piping hot. We ordered the wings in half-half, half spicy and half non-spicey garlic soy. The skins were as crispy as Lays chips and flavorful. The spicy ones definitely had a nice kick to it. We ordered additional spicy mayo and it went really well with both the fries and chicken. Definitely a bit pricier than other Korean fried chicken, but I wouldn't mind a monthly visit.

Food is delicious, wings are crispy and have a deep rich flavor. Clean restaurant, fast and reliable service. Good combo deals and cold drinks. Not much else you need from a friend chicken place. Oh and the Korean corn dog is pretty damn good.

My first time ever to eat here. The staff is so friendly and courteous. The food was amazing. The speed of service was quick. It has been a long while since I have experience great customer service. The staff really made us feel seen. The food just melts in your mouth. So good! So Addicting! Definitely coming back. The pricing is reasonable.

We went there for dinner. The place was full on a Tuesday night, but the wait wasn't long. Overall service was prompt and attentive. Food was great! We ordered the medium combo (wings and drums) half & half. I loved the soy garlic flavor; the spicy one was a bit too spicy for me. We also tried the zucchini fries and the bulgogi taco (forgot to take a pic of this!!). Everything was delicious! I had a soju, green grape flavor ~ oh so good!! If you have a good tolerance for alcohol, you gotta try it! Casual and relaxing ambience. Recommend for a casual night out.

Service was snappy and good. Food came out surprisingly fast. The portions of seasoned fries is huge! There isn't enough ketchup for all the fries. :( As always the fried chicken is delicious and the spicy has a little bit of heat to it. I ordered a lunch wing only combo and got some drums with it. Very odd, but I'm not arguing. The wings and fries were a touch too salty this time, I found myself drinking lots and lots of water during and after my lunch.

The fries and chicken were flavorful, the Udon was lacking taste. We ordered a medium size of boneless chicken. It says on the menu that it is 20 pieces, but it was definitely more than 20.

I've only had the chicken drumsticks, which are beyond fantastic. I ordered the chicken sandwich this time, with extra sauce, expecting the coated sauce like the drumsticks. It's nothing like the drumsticks. There's a coating, but smooth with minimum taste, although it is a quality breast. I asked for extra sauce thinking it'd be like the drumsticks, but it is not, it is a side dipping sauce that cost .95¢. I thought I was paying extra for the delicious crispy coating. SO disappointed. However, their menu has expanded and I look forward to finding something else.

The service was terrible. I dont even write reviews but the service today that I had compelled me to write a review on how horrifying the service was. Me and my friends came in and waited around 50 minutes for our wings and korean corn dogs. There were a group that came in 30 minutes after we made our order and got their food before us. By the time we got our wings, not the corndogs, the people that were here after us already left. They had the audacity to ask us if we wanted to add the korean corndogs to our order when we asked them where our corndogs were. The waiter also took our water to be refilled and then forgot about us for another 15 minutes. I used to love going here but after the service today I have a deep hatred for this restaurant.

I am writing this review as a serious warning to the public. Bonchon San Gabriel completely failed in both food quality and customer service, and this was hands down one of the most frustrating restaurant experiences I’ve ever had. Let’s start with the food — because it was awful. The chicken wings were extremely dry, overcooked, and disgusting. Not crispy — dry and stale. Every single sauce we tried — spicy, Korean BBQ, soy garlic, and yangnyeom — was dry, crusted, flavorless, and tasted horrible. Nothing tasted fresh. Nothing tasted right. It honestly felt like old food that should never have been served. Now the service — which somehow managed to be even worse than the food. Sidney (who claimed to be the manager) and Raphael provided some of the worst customer service I have ever experienced. They were rude, dismissive, unprofessional, and disrespectful from the moment issues were brought up. No apology. No concern. No effort to fix anything. Just attitude, irritation, and a complete lack of accountability. They made it very clear that customer satisfaction means nothing at this location. If Sidney truly is the manager, then this place’s problems start at the top. Their behavior alone was enough to make the experience completely unbearable. I left feeling angry, disrespected, and completely ripped off. Bad food is one thing. Bad food AND horrible service is unforgivable. Bonchon San Gabriel is a complete waste of time and money. Do yourself a favor and stay far away from this location.
