We had an amazing first time with Korean BBQ. Nate was our server and he was very patient and helpful. The food was amazing and the sides were unlimited. We also had the honey bread for dessert. This was fantastic. Highly recommend this place.

Food was fabulous. We had the 75c boneless wing special & both flavors were great. MoPo corndog with soy glaze hit a spot I didn’t know I was missing out on! If you need an introduction to Korean food- it will do you justice coming here. You really should try it out, they deserve your business! We will definitely be back.

What a cool lunch date with the wife at BonChon. Nestled in the heart of the Parke Regency Hotel and conference center on the far east side of Bloomington, there are some tasty Korean BBQ treats. The wife and I chose to share some samples off the full menu of many delicious looking dishes. We sampled the combo of Korean fried chicken half with the Korean BBQ and the other half with soy garlic. We also had Korean steak tacos and an order of fried potatoes. The fried chicken was double fried that left a fantastic crust that is then tossed in the sauce. The BBQ had a nice heat to it and the garlic soy was delicious as well. The meat was so moist and piping hot. Not only was this yummy, the drumsticks were huge. They do not skimp on size out here. This serving could easily be a meal. I would eat this again without question. The steak tacos were very nice as well. Plenty of fixings including iceberg lettuce, spicy mayo, slaw and ample ribeye slices this taco was finished with a soft tortilla shell. The serving comes with three and was quite good. This mash up of tacos and Korean BBQ was a perfect match. Light flavorful and generous portions. Again, this one is a keeper. Finally, the fried potstickers. I mean potstickers, yes, fried, yes, sauced, again, yes sir! These crispy, saucy treats were packed with pork filling and we chose to have half garlic soy and half hot. So good, but be warned l, the hot is pretty hot. Loved these and could stuff them endlessly in my pie hole! Overall, great meal, the service was pleasant and prompt, price was well worth the food and I would certainly recommend hitting them up. Several other items I want to try after this visit. So all told, this was a "get in my belly" moment. Don't miss out and swing by to see for yourself!!

Thursday night. Not busy, so not much waiting. I sat at the bar and enjoyed a Korean Iced Tea while waiting for my potstickers and chicken legs. It was a quiet and inviting atmosphere. The server apologized for my very minimal wait considering they were cooking very large chicken legs. I don't recall the names of the sauces I chose, but they were both delicious! Just the right amount of spicy! And the crispyness was fabulous!

Me likey; will definitely be visiting again to try some more things. I did spend quite a bit but the pricing was appropriate. Staff were nice too for them only being opened for a couple days; the atmosphere was seasoned. I’ve seen way worse things happen in that first few days for new establishments. The spicy items were actually spicy, on this side of the country that statement means something. My family loved it. Tried all the sauces on the wings. I don’t eat coleslaw but my family devoured it. All the fried items were FRESH; you hear me! We got regular fries, seasoned fries, fried pickles, fried zucchini, onion rings, white rice, and kimchi. And yes, they are connected to a hotel/conference center but it’s a classy establishment and there’s a separate door. Oh one last thing, we also requested to add more vegetables to the Buldak dish and they obliged!

Absolutely fantastic. The loudest crunch I've ever heard on chicken!! Super crispy and flavorful. The pork belly steam buns were great too, the meat was really tender. Will be back!!

This is probably my most favorite place locally to get chicken. I always get the drums. They will not disappoint. The best way I think to describe them is candied. They have a sweet hard shell and tender meat on the inside. The right amount of heat to sweet ratio. Thanks looking forward to the next time.

I was able to attend the soft launch of the restaurant. They had all the staff there for training. The food was excellent. The service was in learning modes but they did a very good job of explaining the menu and the options. The area has had a recent makeover. Everything was clean and well designed.
