Bonchon is a Korean spot, offering Korean-style fried chicken wings, pork buns and more.

With a three-star Yelp rating out 56 reviews, Bonchon is still finding its way, but it's early days.

Yelper Chio S., who reviewed Bonchon on January 23, wrote, "I was excited when I heard Bonchon is opening in Fresno. Went over there and was sadly disappointed. We ordered kimchi fried rice, jap chae and fried chicken. I'm not saying that the food was not tasty, but disappointed with the service and management."

"The chicken was well-seasoned, the skin was crunchy and tasty, and the service was excellent," shared Yelper Noah B. "Wasn't a huge fan of the octopus-bite appetizers (forgot the name), but other than that, the bulgolgi fried rice, and the fried rice itself, was perfect!"

Bonchon is open from 11 a.m.-3 p.m. and 5-9 p.m. on Monday-Saturday. (It's closed on Sunday.)

Boba Silog is a Filipino spot, offering a variety of organic milk teas, smoothies and specialty drinks like the Kopi-Kopi -- an iced mocha beverage topped with an extra shot of espresso and coffee jelly.

With a three-star rating out of 49 reviews on Yelp, Boba Silog is still finding its way, but it's early days.

Yelper Sinny S., who reviewed Boba Silog on Jan. 20, wrote, "Ordered their fried chicken and baby back ribs, lumpia and a strawberry honey lemonade tea. I would give the drink four stars and the plates two stars only. The place is trendy, but hard to get through people when they get busy."

"Their adobo silog was delicious!" added Yelper Rocky B. "Tender and not dry, unlike the adobo I've tried from Jowli's or Island Pacific. It's all made fresh, thankfully. The service was fast and friendly, and they do offer stamp cards, so remember to ask for one."

Boba Silog is open from 8 a.m.-9 p.m. on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday, 8 a.m.-10 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, and 8 a.m.-8 p.m. on Sunday. (It's closed on Tuesday.)
