Bonchon Chicken - Parsippany, NJ

No ambience, a slow kitchen, and so cold that every diner was wearing a winter coat. But oh, that chicken.

Bonchon straddles that weird line between fast food, and something else. You get plastic flatware, but real plates. You order from a counter, but they cook to order. And the food is delicious, did I mention that?

Made to order food that was top notch. The wings are impossibly crunchy on the outside and very delicious. The spicy wings are very hot so beware if that's not your thing.

We arrived at 7pm and it was extremely busy but we couldn’t resist the smell of soy garlic and decided to wait and try. Their food is amazing. I didn’t mind waiting because they have 3 TVs and place is so nice. Will be back tomorrow

This isn't a table service Bonchon location. You order from the counter then grab an available table, assuming there are any. It was packed at lunchtime. The food prep time is quick for a Bonchon. Their chicken typically takes about 20 minutes to prepare at the full service locations. They must prepare ahead of time so expect that, although fresh, the chicken will not have just come out of the fryer. My chicken wings were still very good though. Very crisp. Very juicy inside. The seasoning is just as I've had in the full service locations. I had the mixed 8 wing with steamed rice lunch combo. Bottled/canned drinks are from a self service cooler near the counter. The menu selection was fairly extensive. I expected it to be somewhat abbreviated but it wasn't. The staff was very friendly. You heard a thank you (spoken earnestly with a Korean accent) whenever a customer exited. Try it out.
