    That chicken it's so crunch crunch!

    Mmmmmmmm Bonchon.

    If you don't like spicy food definitely order the garlic soy, I like ghost pepper wings and their wings are HOT AF in a wonderful way.

    This is a substitute for the bon Chon in Allston. I really miss the appetizers and the menus over there but I can't complain the chicken the same.... Except slightly smaller?
    This also delivers to my apartment so, I will have to make due with what Salem has to offer.

    Chicken is smaller but sauces are similar. Often I find my chicken to be overly cooked... But I like it that way. Others may not.

    This was my second time going here (first was at the Allston location). I had tried the salmon avocado ball and HAD to go again because I loved it so much. My boyfriend had also gotten the chicken wings. I'm not a poultry person at all but he told me to have just a bite, and I admit they were pretty good. I think I'm just used to not eating much meat so it didn't like, WOW me or anything.

    The second time, I got the ball again and loved it obviously LOL. It's sooo flavorful and I always want to order like 3 more!!

    However I can tell that the Salem location is definitely not as popular as the one in Allston. Not sure why

    We stopped by this restaurant last year and we really loved the food.  It happen that while visiting Salem we came across it again.  I ordered the Korean Fish tacos and they were delicious.  I highly recommend this place.  Great Asian food

    Bonchon, little did we know you were a chain, but little did we know how your wings would leave a lasting impression on us for the rest of our lives.

    Korean hot wings, wait what? Does that work? Oh let me tell you, yes yes it does and they are amazing. Soy garlic or spicy. If you like heat, get the spicy, get the spicy and the pickled radish. Get extra wings too, because once you start, you cannot stop. You will be begging to keep the wings coming. They have this extremely crunchy coating, which then is coated in this amazing sauce (both the soy garlic and the spicy are amazing). They are brought to your table hot and crispy and a hot wing perfection. You can actually get with wings or chicken drumsticks. Yes whole drumsticks deep fried with sauce. Hands down best wings I have ever eaten. Best coating, the best sauce. Just yes.

    I actually ordered the japchae with a side of kimchi slaw. It's was so delicious. The perfect seasonings for the japchae and the kimchi slaw was different but amazing. However I can't lie, once I had wings I had to order wings for myself. The japchae was great, but the wings were better.

    The kimchi slaw was delicious but the pickled radish was so perfect to take the heat away from the spicy wings.

    Overall it was a great experience, the service was just a little slow, but the good was more than worth it. Anytime I travel now I'm looking to find a Bonchon to sit and devour wings at. I will definitely be back!!
