Bonchon - Pleasanton

I celebrated my PhD this evening in this gorgeous place. Well we passed a terrific evening and the venue was evidently one of the reasons for that happy gathering. The stuff collaborated in a graceful style, the food was very good and my friends were so joyful. We shall no dout come back again for more joyful events. thanks very much.

the crust is great on the chicken but the chicken itself doesn't have much taste. kimchi fried rice was good. nothing too memorable for me. service is super slow. I wouldn't wait in line for this.

Wings are good... Got medium spicy level... Service was a little on the slower side... But would come back again for sure...

Had high hopes per recommendations based on other locations. Visited during their soft opening on a Friday late lunch and had to wait a bit for a table for 3. Once seated we never got menus or waters and was ignored by the staff, took a pretty long time to get their attention... here’s why: A worker told a server to take our order but he takes the table behind us instead. Still couldn’t get someone to help us until she made eye contact with me. She asked that same guy who responded yes but when clarified he realized he didn’t. Minus 1 star.
Ordered the wings half spicy half soy garlic and two orders of boneless- soy garlic and sweet crunch.
Out of the 10 wings majority was drumlettes, there were 4 wings. Spicy was actually mild and the soy garlic was pretty good. But for the boneless (which my kids prefer as it’s less messy) the sweet crunch was pretty plain so they liked the soy garlic more. Minus 1 star.
I may come back in the future to allow soft opening learnings to set in. They really have to work on their communication with each other and service. We also never got water refilled - pretty basic service that was lacking.
