Bonchon Chicken is a national Asian fusion chain of restaurants with branches all over the country, and now there's a new location in San Mateo, just about two miles from Hillsdale Square. It opened in July, and eaters are happy to have one nearby — the closest location to this one is in Sunnyvale.

You can expect the same crave-worthy fare here, like crispy chicken with soy garlic glaze, bibimbap, kimchi, japchae, and fried rice. It's become a lunchtime destination for many in recent weeks, but don't let the crowds deter you — the service is quick and efficient. Diners praise the sleek decor at this location — floor-to-ceiling windows that let in plenty of natural light, and shiny wood floors. Whether you opt for a table or you get your food to go, it's sure to be steaming hot and served with a smile.
