Bonchon appears in inspection records nine times, starting in 2022. The most recent report on file is from Mar 9, 2026. Medium risk typically reflects a handful of issues that inspectors wrote up but didn't deem critical.
There hasn't been much movement either way: counts have stayed near four violations per visit across recent inspections.
“Nonfood-contact surface soiled with grease” comes up most often, recorded two times in the inspection record.
Compared to other Jacksonville restaurants (averaging 74), there's room to close the gap. Taken together, the history looks like that of a busy facility working through the usual inspection cycle.
