Filled my stomach up. I will be coming back Service: Dine in Meal type: Lunch Price per person: $50–100

This place deserves more than 5 stars because it's a grand slam! The food I's amazing and we tried multiple things and shared it all..but it doesn't stop there, the service is the best you'll find anywhere, our server Daniel was so on top of his game and it made us feel great... I would definitely recommend to everyone Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner

Since moving to the Jacksonville area I have notice the following about the Asian restaurant scene. A lot of establishments aren't even trying to impress. _________________ The first thing I notice in any restaurant is the smell... Is it authentic to the style of food being marketed to me? Then I notice tactile traits of the establishment. Are the menus, tables, and chairs sticky or have a film on them? Do my shoes make a sticky sound when I walk or is the floor slippery from grease? Next I evaluate the cleanliness of the bathroom as I wash my hands. In most businesses the bathroom is the last thing on the task list. The state of the bathroom says allot about how a business thinks about you as a customer. Also as a general rule, a clean and well-maintained bathroom indicates a clean and maintained back of the house (kitchen). Now directing my attention to this Bonchon location. It was underwhelming compared to the Bonchon in Glenview, IL. I use that location specifically as a baseline, because it is in a suburban K-Town so competition, the demand for quality and authenticity is high. The Glenview location, while in a mall, surprisingly has more of an international vibe vs. local, typical mall vibe... The Glenview location is slightly more flavorful. This being said, Bonchon in Durham Park is a decent entry way for Korean flavors, but it is pricey. I hope demand grows and more Korean restaurants open in the area to force them to up their game. Parking: It's a mall, plenty of parking. Kid-friendliness: Definitely a family friendly place, but it can be spicy.

Staff was helpful and quick. Barely had any wait time. Place is very clean. We had the half and half wings, delicious. And so were the pork belly buns( my favorite).
