Bonchon just reopened and as expected excelled in the chicken wing game. Crispy yet not greasy, crunchy yet not overly fried. Couple that with soju for less than $11 and some Korean tteokbokki and the meal was great.
Though the chicken wings were the best I've had in Vegas, the rest of the meal was just average considering there are actually a few really good Korean spots in town, especially in the Spring Valley area. The tteokbokki was too Americanized for me with too much cheese and not enough spice in their sauce. Even the wings were mellowed when we asked for extra spicy and got a mild at best. Taste-wise was fantastic but they need to up their spice game up.
I really like the vibe of Bonchon with a nice selection of beers and a lot of TVs considering the size of the restaurant. I would surely come back for some takeout or to watch a game, especially at 10 wings for $13 and other good deals on wings and entrees. But in my opinion, just stick to the wings and the soju. Open until only 10pm is tough as chicken wings are a late night must, but definitely still worth a trip. Good service, good wings, enough said.
