Best WLM Reviews

We stopped in here while visiting New Haven. It wasn’t for a full meal, just for a little snack. It was worth it. Clean with lots of tables and a great staff. There was a TV which was showing a baseball game at the time. There’s street parking available with meters, but you have to be lucky to get a spot depending the time you come. There are a few lots in the area.
The food was really good. We ordered the soy garlic wings which were very crispy. It was almost like eating fried chicken with garlic sauce on it. The fries are also very crispy and delicious. We also got the shrimp shumai. I really liked the sauce on top, the shumai was just OK. It might’ve tasted better if it was steamed instead of fried. That’s my mistake. Overall a good value with some tasty menu choices.
I am Korean and I visited to taste some Korean food. However, the plate and spoon were very dirty. I have ordered Bibimbap and dumpling and Bibimbap was not very bad but the dumpling was the frozen product. Overall, the food was not authentic and I don’t want people to think that is the authentic korean food.
Food never ceases to amaze me! The service was good throughout the meal although before being recognized by the waitress my boyfriend and I waited 7 mins just to be acknowledged. The bathroom was completely disgusting. I walked in and this is what I saw upon walking in. Extremely gross. I wish it was better taken care of, but overall the food was amazing and the service could’ve been better.
Bonchon’s Korean fried chicken is absolutely delicious! I got the lunch special, which came with four massive chicken drumsticks. I got half and half to try both the soy garlic and spicy flavors. Both were flavorful and delicious. The best part of the chicken had to be the outer shell and crispness. These drumsticks were unbelievably crispy and very large. Each bite came with a massive crunch of amazing chicken. The wings and seasoned fries were also quite good. The service was great, and the wait was not too long. Overall, I highly recommend Bonchon if you want to try some of the crispiest, tastiest Korean fried chicken I’ve ever had!
Our server Oneida is very attentive even thou it was a busy night. I tried the garlic soy and sweet crispy wings and they were great. Only thing I noticed is the soy wings were a little salt for me after 3 so I recommend mixing the flavors to avoid that but wings were perfectly fried and crunchy to the bone. A must try for sure, the seasoned fries, tacos and shumai were also bursting with flavor. There is a reason this place is busy so check it out
A party of 3 and our appetizers and entrees came out very fast we were very surprised. The food was absolutely delicious and I highly recommend the Korean tacos and Chicken Katsu. Will definitely come back ????
The staff? Great! The atmosphere? Great! Our meals? Good, but there was a catch.
We hadn't gone in around a year, but visited last weekend. Our food was as good as we remembered it except for the chicken strips. While they used to hand batter them, they now use frozen strips and charge the same price. It was a massive letdown because we had also talked up their chicken to a couple we were treating for an anniversary lunch. While the other dishes are good, honestly, we left feeling pretty cheated. The sauce they use is great, but it wasn't enough to make us come back for what we could have gotten in the frozen food isle. :( I hope they change it back.
Tldr: They changed the chicken strips from home-cooked to frozen, and it showed in appearance and taste.
It is a good place to try the fried chicken, the taste is delicious. We ordered both spicy and garlic. Be careful, spicy is real, so I like it. But I would say this is not Korean fried chicken ????. We also ordered bibimbap (tofu version) and bull dark. The bibimbap is relatively fine, but the bull dark is a bit dry, and the taste is too light.
