a) The one in Flushing is considerably less crowded and the service is better, if you can get there. There is also one further down Northern Blvd near Great Neck. b) The whole point of the radish cubes is to ease the heat of the spicy chicken (there is a hot-sauce-based flavor, and a soy-garlic, which is not spicy at all). Also, the chicken is meant to be eaten while drinking beer, which helps.

the key to avoiding the bad service, long wait and bad music (mostly): take out. Called ahead, it was ready in 20 minutes.

what's the difference between this and bonbon chicken on chambers? looks the same to me. Bonbon is pretty awesome too. Just wondering if they are a franchise or bonbon stole bon-chon's thunder.

this is a club not a restaurant. atrocious service. don't expect them to be open when they say they are. don't expect them to acknowledge your presence when you arrive. and don't expect fast service.

never again

i'm totally addicted to bon chon. the key is to alternate a piece of the soy garlic for every 2-3 pieces of the spicy sauce, and wash down with lots of killian's red. has anyone been to ufc in queens and can vouch for their quality?

I went here a while back after reading about it in the Times and it's amazing. On the night I went though, they ran out of everything except the wings which still were great. I'll definitely go back and try the legs or breasts.
