The lunch specials were pretty good.
The staff was also very friendly.

The food and services are great but the pricing is not. I normally get a 10 piece chicken and two house races. Me and my friend split for $40 which I think is unreal for a little bit of rice and chicken.

This spot is always on point, everything is amazing. The girls working in here were also soo nice. What more can you really ask for. I 100% recommend.

I'm in salem for just a few days on vacation and this place is amazing. The chicken amazing. The seasoned fries amazing. And the bolgogi fries I'd kick a toddler for.

The food and service here are good. Korean fried chicken is delicious. Tried 3 flavors of the wings and preferred the spicy. The miso soup was a hit. Best fried rice i have ever had!

I visited as a group with many friends. Everyone enjoyed the food at this restaurant very much. All staff were very friendly. It was the best chicken restaurant I've ever been to.

Ordered a delivery order and a mistake was made. Staff went above and beyond to help out and remedy. Food was great. Such great service. Hope others have similar positive experiences. Go here!

We tried the soy garlic strips and bulgogi fries. They were both amazing! The soy garlic flavor is the best!!

Most addictive wings on the planet. I ate the whole box on way home and just wanted one. Refreshing customer service . Thanks Brit ! Cheers 🥂

Delicious food and friendly atmosphere. Soy garlic wing are an absolute must try, perfectly sweet and crunchy.

The family loves Bon Chon! Never had an issue, complaint or left feeling hungry after having some Korean fried chicken. Recently we tried the buldak- omg it’s awesome! Try it - you’ll love it!

Very casual atmosphere. Very close to Derby Square. Predominately Korean food with some Japanese and Chinese thrown in. Tteokbbokki is great!

The Chicken Katsu is a good neutral dish for those who want an entry-level Japanese dish.

Also try Soju!!! It's a Korean spirit. Very delicious. One of my favorite alcoholic beverages.

I had never tried Korean food and we asked to the most Korean plate on the menu, it was great! Don't know how authentic korean it was but it was pretty good!

Had the potstickers, chicken and fried rice. We got a combination of spicy and soy garlic...Mmmmmm. Can't wait to go back, super cool waitstaff too++

Stopped in as most places were an hour or two wait because of September, got sat immediately and more importantly food was great also!

Absolutely amazing! Very kind people with fast service. As an artist, I have to say their menus are the most beautiful I've ever seen. Good selection of food too, with some simple stuff for kiddos. I ordered the salmon ball (picture) and couldn't help dig in a big before remembering to take a photo. Delicious!

Nice staff, delicious food, reasonably priced, and big portions!

Loved it! Highly recommend the pork buns and chicken katsu . The service was excellent and the restaurant was spotless. They were so friendly, helpful, and quick. Will definitely be back!

Can't go wrong with Korean fried chicken! Their fries are pretty tasty too. Went here with a group of 8 and we all enjoyed the food.
