Bonchon Tampa - E. Fletcher Ave.

Mike Au

This is the best Bonchon restaurant in FL, granted that there's only two. The food comes out fresh and timely. Service is great. Alina greeted us and made sure our food and service was exceptional. We ordered the 20 PC spicy fried chicken. Chicken was fresh and not frozen. Very good crunch to the fried chicken and the spicy glaze was well done. If you've never tried this place before, definitely give it a try!

I came here wanting to try Korean fried chicken for the first time and was impressed. We got the soy flavored wings and they were delicious and very crunchy. I also wanted to try the bao buns and they were very light and refreshing. As for the Korean donut my friend thought they were delicious. I would definitely go back!

Everything was so delicious 🤤 need to come back. Tried the soel sampler as crispy tenders no seasoning but was still great!

Absolutely Delicious..!!! We had wings, drumsticks, katsu, corn dogs, and baobuns. Loved all the flavors, food quality was spot on, and very clean inside. Plus a super friendly staff.

This was my first time even trying this place, I’ve never heard of it until the other day. It was amazing. Really crispy skin and juicy chicken on the inside. I’m not really a fried chicken person but I will be returning! We got the spicy and by wing 3 I started tasting the heat. Very flavorful, Great job. We got 6 for $10, the wings are pretty big so I feel it’s worth the price! Highly recommend giving them a try

After reading the reviews they seemed to have a rough start, I'm guessing they were overwhelmed at opening and may not have had the experience they do now. I'm happy to report they seem to be dialed in. I ordered the soy garlic wings and Mexican street corn. Fam, these are the best wings I've ever had. If they're frozen I can't taste it being in a freezer or in an open fridge. These wings were sealed and fresh. They were cooked to perfection. The flavor was also perfect, the soy garlic was the perfect blend and balance of mild sweetness, saltiness and garlic. Other places seemed... Diluted in flavor, not here. Perfection, just like the crunch, it was noticably crisper than normal American fried chicken even though it was sauced and sitting in front of me for a few minutes. The Mexican street corn was amazing, get the small for yourself, it's a very good portion size for small. The flavor on the corn delicious, the lime, cheese scallions and seasonings were all done right. I highly recommend it, you won't regret it. I'll definitely come back here!

Today, for the fun of it, I declared a chicken war to see who is better. Bonchon Korean Fried Chicken vs. Dave's Hot Chicken. Winner Bonchon. In a tiny plaza with a tricky entrance, it was clean and bright inside. They have a nice selection of starters and a variety of traditional korean dishes. The chicken choices are boneless, wings, drumsticks and tenders. The staff said more locations are coming soon. One big reason that I have had my eye on this place is that in addition to wings and tenders they also have fried chicken drumsticks. The young lady was friendly and helpful. She described the sauces and I made my choice. I ordered the largest size, 10 pieces for just over $30. I opted for the slaw and was given a small order of the pickled radishes to try. The slaw was good but I liked the fresh crispy radishes even more. The twice cooked and hand brushed drumsticks were just what I hoped for...expectations met. The drumsticks were massive with a gooey yet crunchy exterior that packed a great flavor punch. The interior cooked through and moist. I tried 2 flavors of sauce both wonderful, one with just a bit of heat. Soy Garlic and the Yangnyeom. Sides include Kimchi, Pickled Radish, Cole Slaw and Steamed Rice. I can definitely recommend the chicken. Next time I will eat some of the korean dishes I saw. Come get ya some!

Thought I'd give this spot a try after hearing of its popularity. Surprisingly it wasn't busy at all for opening day. I walked in and someone took my order right away. Since I love fried rice, that was ultimately my first choice. My food was ready in about 10min. Let me say, I am now a believer and will be returning! A must try when visiting is the House fried rice with Bulgogi. Simply amazing! 👌

I came earlier today with my friends the food was delicious especially the chicken fried rice . Also Mayar was a great help and is very welcoming . Overall my experience was fantastic, I will be coming back soon to try more stuff.

In such an incredibly crowded space that it is nowadays, in the world of fried chicken I constantly ask myself the question: is bonchons the best right now??? I dont know of it is.... but the fact that i constantly have to ask myself the question tells me its in the conversation. The crunch is for real....Sauces and rubs are out of this world. I feel very fortunate to have this place near me.

I actually ordered from Bonchon through Grubhub earlier this week. I was not disappointed. The fried chicken was very well done. Very crunchy and tasty. Couldn't believe how big the pieces were,especially the drumsticks. Kinda puts other chicken places to shames. Good prices. French fries were delicious. I would definitely recommend Bonchon. Will definitely order from them again.

Ordered wings with 2 different sauces and these wings were excellent. I was only to ate the wings about 2 hours after ordering and it was still super crispy. I also ordered a corn dog, but wasn’t too impressed with that. Other than that; friendly staff, quick service and good food. Will come back.

We ordered online for 2x now and both orders came out accurate and fast. We love the soy garlic and korean bbq flavors! Its so crispy even the next day, i just reheated it for a few mins at the air fryer and it was still crispy! Only thing i am disappointed at is that pickled radish was unavailable both times. Remember that you are selling Korean Chicken and it is traditionally paired with pickled radish, so please stock up!

We were driving back from St. Petersburg and looking for a dinner spot when my brother-in-law suggested trying the chicken wings from Bonchon. Based on his recommendation, we decided to stop by for a quick bite. From the menu, we ordered a combo of chicken drums and wings, and our order was served well. The chicken was crispy, flavorful, and coated in their signature spicy sauce, which added right amount of heat and richness. Every bite was delicious and satisfying. If you're a fan of bold, crispy chicken, I highly recommend trying Bonchon's wings with the spicy sauce.

Seoul sampler was extremely delicious and its wings corn and bulgogi fries as well as friend chicken legs and wings. I really wanted to give 5/5 but the garlic soy chicken was a noticeably over-salted so much so that it was hard to eat. Although we did enjoy the texture and the huge portion sizes.

Wings were GIGANTIC! Which made me nervous, because when wings are this large they are usually undercooked. But…these were cooked to absolute perfection. Super crispy, fresh and clean. The soy garlic needed more sauce, tasted bland. But this is literally their first day open so I know it will get better. Bulgogi was top notch. Rice cakes were delicious but spicy. Will be back often.

The fried chickens are tasty. Japchae taste really good and Bao Buns too. Plenty of seats available for dine in. I only wish the exhaust fan works better so all the fried smoke goes out of the building. Overall we are really happy to have a new awesome korean fried chicken to taste in Tampa.

Eat HERE! Stopped here by chance and it was a great decision! The service was awesome! The dining area is spacious and clean. I had the Yum Drum special, totally worth it! The doughnut was just as good as the chicken! Theres definitely not enough Korean Chicken places in Florida.. Stop by and enjoy !!!

The food was good, i got the katsu, but nothing incredibly. We did have the Korean corn dog which was very good. Overall its worth the price and has good food, but there are better places. The best part of our visit was the man working the counter, he was super friendly and helpful when we were deciding what to get!

My first visit here was a mixed bag. The staff were pleasant and I could see they were struggling to deal with the demand; they apologized to me several times for the wait. I also got a free order of street corn since the side I ordered was unavailable. However, when I got my food, not only were the strips very small but weren't half&half like I ordered. The last time I went to a Bonchon, the strips were twice the size of these. It's a shame because I was excited to have a location nearby. Update 2/5/25: I gave them another chance and my experience was much better. There was no wait to pick up my order, the fries were crispy & the boneless wings were consistently good. It's still pricey for what it is and I miss the giant old-style strips but I can recommend you try them.

I went here with my friend. Staff was very nice. The boneless wings were super small, like a little bigger than popcorn chicken size. For the price of $14 it is definitely not worth it. Additionally, it just had sauced out on top of it. The chicken itself wasn’t seasoned. Meanwhile the bone in was wayyy bigger (that’s the on my friend got). Rice was dry as well. If ur wanting to eat here, don’t get the boneless wings or rice.
