| - I'm giving this Bonchon 4.5 stars, but will round up.
I thoroughly enjoyed the Bonchon located in Richmond, VA while I was in medical school, so I was excited to hear that there was one in Las Vegas (since there are none in SoCal). This location is also fairly close to my home!
The restaurant is not that big so not too many seats, though they do have some outdoor seats as well, which we opted for to minimize wait time. If you sit outdoors, they have a cool misting fan that also plays Bluetooth music.
Service was EXCELLENT, and we were checked on frequently. My water NEVER stayed low for too long, and the head chef actually came out to personally introduce himself to us. Service was noticeably above average; clearly, the employees have been trained well.
As for food, the menu is a bit different than what I had back in Richmond, but the must-have fried chicken is still there. I will say that the crust "shell" of the chicken was slightly thinner here than what I've had at my previous Bonchon location, though it is still extremely crunchy and unique compared to fried chicken elsewhere. We also enjoyed some calamari, seasoned fries, and bulgogi tacos during this visit. We asked for a side of spicy mayo, which paired perfectly with both the calamari as well as the seasoned fries. As expected, Bonchon executes deep fried dishes very well.
Prices are fair. I highly recommend coming here for some unique fried chicken!
