Let me start by saying...I love BonChon. I fell head over heels in love with their wings the first time I tried them. Unfortunately, this BonChon location didn't live up to the standard set by other locations. We placed a decent sized order (40 wings, 1 order onion rings) over the phone, and were given a 15 minute time estimate. While some might be thrilled that the wait is so much shorter than the wait at other locations, I almost took it as an omen. That was way too quick for BonChon. We arrived about 20 minutes later, half thinking they'd say "just kidding, we meant an hour and 15min," but sure enough, our order was ready. It smelled divine. That's where the positives end. We got home and immediately put the wings on a platter for our party. Something about them seemed...off. They were softer and more dry on the outside than we're used to. BF and I decided to try one before our friends came over. It was terrible. Soggy crust, super greasy, and barely any sauce on them. By the end of the party, most of the wings remained on the platter, and I saw several people with half eaten wings on their plates. I have a sneaking suspicion that they tried to cook all 40 wings at once instead of breaking them into batches. When you overcrowd a pan or fryer, the food steams more than fries/sears, so it ends up soggy. That or their oil wasn't set at high enough temperature. No idea why there wasn't enough sauce on them, though. Guess we'll have to make the trek to Centreville. read more

Visiting friends in the DC area and our host stated that Bonchon Arlington had just opened and wanting to try. I enjoy trying new restaurants; however, our experience was lackluster and disappointing. The chicken is OK; however, it lacked flavor and seasoning. As with any new restaurant, it was busy and our server was overwhelmed. Unfortunately, we weren't able to try some of the other sides as our server did not place the order correctly. With this, our check was wrong and we had to stay an additional 30 minutes after the meal to get our bill correct. Our server (visibly flustered and agitated) passed us off to the manager in the process of this error and he continued to bus/clear our table while bringing out the incorrect check and credit card 4 times...I felt the importance was placed on getting the next client in and not appropriately apologizing for our unnecessary wait. Poor food and poor service left us with bad taste in our mouth. Perhaps with the newness worn off, the management and team will have time to improve on customer service and infusing their chicken with flavor for future diners. read more

Bonchon's wings are to die for! I cannot get over the quality and deliciousness of the wings. Tender, juicy, bursting full of flavor. It wasn't until a friend (and fellow world traveler/foodie) brought me here that I realized what I was in for. Even though I liked everything else I had, it was the wings that owned the spotlight. I instantaneously fell in love with them. We ordered ours half & half (half garlic, half spicy). The crispy exterior, the tender interior, the entirety of the wings simply oozed with flavor. Once you bite into one, there is no going back. It's a completely different state of euphoria, an experience out of this world. Service was great, ambiance and atmosphere were also very nice. I'm still dreaming of those wings read more

Bonchon familiarize itself as specialized in fried chicken. The garlic and spicy chicken is almost a good combination like half and half. Honestly I go with the garlic one as it sticks to my taste buds. I personally suggest you to try those one but wait, there may be a question on your head why do you want you to prefer this restaurant they have their own Korean style and they are so delicious compared to others. read more

Eat at your own risk. Dined there a two nights ago and only now am I well enough to write about the food. If you like vomiting and spewing out the other end please see this place for your "special order". I should have known there was a problem when the bartender bragged to a customer about his ability to "eat out of a garbage can"--an actual statement! The same guy that recommended what I order! a GARBAGE can! Not cheap either. I will only return to file a complaint with the owner--after I've contacted the health department. I hope this review damages this business as it put me through 24hours of HELL! UPDATE: I have notified the Health Dept. read more

Cravings never lie to me. And for this reason, it took me about three or four visits to Bonchon before I could write this review. After hearing so much about it over the course of the last four years and being a huge fried chicken enthusiast, I finally got a chance to check it out one afternoon over the summer. I went at it alone - me versus chicken. And thank Christ no one was there to watch me absolutely devour 10 gigantic golden fried wings (half spicy, half garlic). It wasn't much long after that I began to make almost weekly visits - this time with other people. And it wasn't much long after that even where I began to have fantasies about being greeted in heaven with Angels carrying plates of Bonchon fried Chicken with a side of palate-cleansing pickled Korean radishes. I mean who can blame me? I needed to see if this was the real deal or some typically pretentious DC-area novelty that would simply go away within a year or two. So as you could imagine, going into Bonchon for the first time was a kind of an eyes-wide open religious experience that I suspect one would have in their first time entering a religious establishment. I had no idea what to expect so I sat at the bar and wanted answers: "so what is the deal here, I mean what do people love here?" I nervously asked. So as such I ordered a simple assortment of wings - five of them being spicy, the other half being not-so-spicy. So I have fallen in love maybe once or twice in my life, but when I bit through my first wing - a zesty candy-like coding of delicate batter sizzling with juiciness on the inside, it was pure love... The juices just burst out and the flavors all come together. I have been fixated on that moment since and as such have convinced others to become believers. Apparently there are other good eats here but I can never justify going to Bonchon without ordering the chicken so other dishes tend to get kicked down the road. Now to keep it real (because it is real), this is a very high calorie but low cost meal meaning it needs to be a once-in a great while thing for me especially. I am actually glad I live nowhere near it because I would probably make it a regular habit of going there. But even so, in Clarendon, this needs to be everyone's priority. Well done! read more

OMG! I may be addicted! I was introduced to this perfectly fried chicken for the first time last week. Wow! Both the soy garlic and the hot sauces are great. The kimchi coleslaw is a perfect compliment to the spicy chicken! Thank goodness I'm not really close to this place or else i'd be in serious trouble. read more

While the seasoned fries were delicious, the strips were a let down. I ordered 10 hot and 10 soy garlic strips for dinner. The strips were covered sparsely in sauce so it felt like eating a soggy chicken nugget with patches of flavor here and there. I couldn't bring myself to eat more than 2 of the 20. Heads up - the hot flavor is VERY hot. As previous reviewers have mentioned, it's the habanero kind of hot. I've had Bonchon in Ellicott City, MD - and the experience was 180 degrees different (better). I'd be willing to go back and give it another go because of my former experience. read more

Great food and friendly staff. We ordered our food and the server was kind enough to offer complimentary wings. Loved the wings. We'll be back. read more

i'm convinced that the bad reviews had to do with issues during the first few weeks of them opening..must have been some horrendous shit for my yelper people to post such hater level reviews but whatever, do what you need to do. quick tip that i doubt anyone would care about: kimchi colelsaw is just. words cannot describe. if you like kimchi and if you are a fan of cole slaw like the southern born and bred yelper that i am, then get an extra order of the slaw b/c one is included with your chicken order anyways... i had half and half wings and drumsticks. im ashhamed to say i cannot handle the spicy. that doesnt mean i dont recommend them. my advice: man the f up. read more

Well, let me begin by stating every single experience here has been horrible. I have been a customer since they opened several years ago, and I have finally had enough. I have been put on hold so long once that I surpassed the "delivery window time". I have been given the wrong order more times than i can count. Now, I ordered and paid for a wings and legs combo this evening, and RECEIVED NO LEGS. Yes that's right folks, I paid a whopping 30 bucks for chicken wings, marked on my receipt as a combo, and a combo was fully paid for. Not to mention the fact that I had to awkwardly walk around the restaurant to get service just to pick up my meal (this is normal, no surprise for me here). I will be calling for my money back tomorrow as shocker, they are not answering their phone (again, totally normal). Whoever is in charge of this location should have been fired a long time ago. read more

Good food! I have only had take out here, never eaten inside. The food is well cooked and you get a huge amount. I love the spicy mayo! The breading is flaky and has the perfect amount of crunch. read more

i'm glad that they opened a bonchon closer to my house, but i dont think the flavor is the same as the original one in Annandale (now renamed to Chi Mc). this place precooks some of the chicken so the 2nd batch that we got was really dry and not moist and fresh. The first one wasnt too bad, but definitely not a fresh and juicy as Chi Mc. they serve the chicken with the radishes and one side that you can pick from - white rice, brown rice, coleslaw and kimchi slaw. the coleslaw was mayo based and i'm not a huge fan of mayo. the kimchi slaw just tasted like the coleslaw with siracha added to it, not actual kimchi. grrr to misnomers. they added additional items on their menu. the pork buns and the bulgogi ssam (which really isnt a ssam. its just a bolgogi burrito - another misnomer) were good. also new here is chicken strips. i guess because there are so many people who dont like bones, they made the strips. no idea how they taste but just thought it was hilarious that they offered that option here. but honestly, eating here just made me want to go back to the annandale location to get better chicken. soju was so overpriced, it shocked me. maybe its because i am korean and i know what the cost is at a liquor store, just made me GASSSP! the service was pretty good here. except for the fact that they sat us in an area where the lights kept flickering. i felt like i was going to have a seizure the whole time i was eating. i've been some bonchons that are worse and the location is so convenient i would come back if i were meeting people that couldnt make it to Chi Mc. otherwise, i'm making the hike to Annandale for the real deal. read more

Meh... Thats really all I should say. First off let me just say this review is strictly based on food only. My coworker RAVED about this place. My favorite chicken place is Buffalo Wild Wings. I usually grab 15 wing traditional mango habanero.My coworker said Bon Chon's has a hot option. It just wont be as hot. So i'm like ok thats fine. He gets the food. Like he mentioned, Bon Chon's wings are huge, but I bit into it and BAM.... I could already taste the triple, quadruple fried skin. I'm like OF COURSE the chicken is bigger when you fry the chicken 90 times! I mean don't get me wrong it wasn't gross. It was good..... it wasn't that hot for me in my opinion. But definitely wasn't what I expected. Bon Chon's is one of those places I'd eat if the food is around and can't find nothing else. But its not my 1st, or 2nd choice thats for sure! read more

If you haven't had Bon Chon chicken before, then you definitely should. It's chicken on crack. What makes bon chon chicken so good is the crispy skin. It's twice fried in a liquid batter which leaves the skin nice and super crispy. The meat itself is a little bland but it's all about the skin. Pro tip: The chicken comes in two flavors: Soy garlic-mild and Spicy which is super spicy. The chicken comes in two 'types': Drumettes and wings which are your typical buffalo style wings. And also legs which are big sized drumsticks like what would come with normal fried chicken. The Arlington location also has chicken strips (no bone). It's all about the skin, so you can stop complaining that the meat is too plain. Dipping your bon chon chicken in ranch or blue cheese is an insult. Bon Chon Chicken Arlington location: The décor is clean, bright and modern. The wait time for the chicken is much less than other locations. The chicken is cooked to order but I think this location has a good system of pumping out chicken since it's always busy so that's a bonus. Hopefully they can keep this up. Full bar with a nice selection of beers on tap. Also there is a separate carry out window. Wait staff is friendly. Although Bon Chon is a franchise and they use the same recipe/cooking technique, there's is something slightly different than the chicken from other Korean owned Bon Chon establishments. I can't quite put my finger on it, but the chicken didn't leave me completely satisfied as I usually am. Or maybe I'm just growing out of the bon chon phase. Nonetheless props to the owners on opening a Bon Chon in Arlington. read more

Bonchon is always my first stop whenever I visit northern VA. I literally have the GPS set to go to their location first and not to the hotel. I just looove their soy garlic korean fried chicken!! And I enjoy the casual atmosphere where I can enjoy a great beer and order some korean fried chicken and a side of kim chi after a 3.5 hrs drive from VA Beach. This time around, i decided to try their zuchinni fries and wow! YUMM! The aoli it comes with was a great pair and the crispiness of it was perfection. I will definitely order that again once i come visit. Until next time Bonchon =) read more

Great food. The chicken is crisp and tasty. I like both flavors. Not a fan of the pickled radish, the smell is overwhelming but its optional of course. Great service. Definitely a good value. To go orders take about 30ins or so make sure you call ahead especially on weekends. read more

I can't believe these reviews. I swear it was horrible, from the service to the seasoning on the chicken and the overcooked fried dumplings to the drinks to the bill!!!!! These people need to go down south and let some of them sisters cook for them. This was not good. I could have went to Danny's carry out for better wings. read more

They would've gotten a 5 star if they didn't do my to go order wrong. I ordered half/half but received all soy garlic and I live an hour away. :( This is based on my first experience, it's not addicting but I will continue to come back. Street Parking Host was nice, we were seated very quickly. Server was helpful/polite. We ordered..... Seasoned fries - (LOVED IT!!) cooked to perfection, seasoning were not strong or salty it was just right and fries were not oily or soggy it was very fresh/hot and crispy. Small 10 piece chicken wings (chicken wings were huge) half/half (soy garlic/spicy) - we all liked the spicy one because there's more flavor and not so sweet as the soy garlic but I recommend dine in only for the chicken because once its cooled down when your bring it home its not so much "all that" anymore. (I ordered another exact order for to go) Salmon avocado ball - very new but flavorful. Its basically cucumbers, avocado and imitation crab meat wrapped by thin sliced smoked salmon with unagi sweet sauce topped with green onions. I like it, it's interesting (I ordered another one for to go) Fried rice with bulgogi - I personally did not like this - the rice grain is too big and hard, overall very soggy with no flavor, did not go well with the thin cut slices of carrots and there were only extremely tiny pieces of over cooked bulgogi that was not marinated (I don't think). The server had a misunderstanding with me when I order the avocado ball with no onions so the manager did not charge me for that and because I didn't like the fried rice I was not charge for that either (it was nothing wrong with the fried rice, I just personally did not appreciate the taste) So therefor from host to server to management great job guys great team. Management was extremely understanding because his moto is "If I don't like the food then I don't have to pay". I did not come there to try to get a freebie I was expressing my own personal judgment and management went above and beyond to keep a customer happy, therefor whatever I didn't have to pay for it went into the tips for that waitress. THANK YOU read more

Crispy fried Chicken, even a day later in the microwave. Prefer the Soy, Hot is good also and not too hot.

This Bonchon location was great for a number of reasons: 1. We came at 7pm on (warm) Friday night and there was no wait for a table of 8! Unless this was just an off night, then I'd say that it was pretty awesome. 2. Our server was great and enthusiastic about his job - Unfortunatley, that's hard to find nowadays. 3. I ordered two of the large chicken combos and it only took 15 minutes to finish. 4. The spicy wings had the perfect kick of spice - Some locations don't make it spicy enough, others make it spicy to the point where your asshole will spit more fire than Drogon in Game of Thrones. 5. Bonchon in general is a great bang for your buck! The only downside at this location were the pork buns. If I heard correctly, the buns are special to the Arlington location only and they weren't anything special. In fact they were super dry without much flavor. read more

I called ahead and was a little worried because they said the wings would be ready in as little as ten minutes. Everyone familiar with Korean style chicken knows that it takes at least thirty minutes, even if they aren't busy. I got there, and there was a little confusion as to where to pick the wings up. When I found the window it was quick and easy. The wings were cooked to perfection, crispy on the outside, yet juicy on the inside with all the soy garlic deliciousness that I have come to expect from this chain. read more

I love Korean fried chicken and Bonchon's chicken is good. But that's about it. I wasn't too crazy about everything else. The prices were higher than my other chicken place, Ultimate Chicken Bistro, and I felt totally robbed spending $9.50 on exactly 2 pork buns and the buns weren't even that great! the pork was dry and there wasn't enough sauce so each bite just tasted dry and a bit bland. The interior is beautiful but my server was inattentive. While I'm chowing down on my wings and plain white rice (the choices of sides is totally underwhelming. seriously, white rice was the best thing offered.), she didn't refill my water once or check in to see how the food was. So the chicken wings are good. Soy garlic is delicious! Is it better than UCB? I don't know -- they're both really good. I think the skin at UCB is crunchier but in terms of the flavor, I think they're pretty similar. It's not like I was doing a blind taste test. I love fried chicken and Bonchon knows how to fry up some chicken. I would go back for takeout if I didn't feel like driving out to Falls Church for UCB. But I doubt I would go back to dine in. read more

I went late one night (surprised they were still open around 10pm) with my BF and we got the wings - half spicy and half soy garlic (medium for me, large for him) with white rice and kimchi coleslaw. If I was really hungry, I would've gotten a large too, but the medium was a good size for a heavy snack. It was great but we really like spicy and their spicy is SPICY! The white rice was a good idea to cool our tongues, and we were glad we didnt get all spicy. Our waiter (forget his name) was great - attentive, quick with drinks, and excited that it was our first time at Bonchon. When we ordered, he also warned us that the spicy wings were HOT, which I appreciated. The only reason that I only gave this place 4 stars is bc $45 for 2 orders of wings, 2 small sides, and 2 beers is a lot. read more

Food was yummy. Service mediocre. I expected a little more info when I told him it was our first time. BEWARE servers swipe your CC twice so I have two charges pending according to the host I just spoke to. Next time I'll pay cash. read more

The food is always great at any BonChon. The Chicken wings are always superb. I'm writing a review for the Arlington, VA locale because this is the one I go to the most. Anyway, from what I have heard, this is the newest BonChon in the DC area, and I believe it. The interior design, I feel, is a lot more thought out than that of the other locations I've been to. The only reason I'm giving BonChon, in general, four stars is because of their slippery floors! This is at EVERY BonChon that I have been to. I almost broke my bum trying to walk to the restroom. Once your in the lavatory, it's like I'm at an ice rink. Summary: Great, food, great place, great service, but get a new cleaning product for the floors. read more

Extremely good food. Hubby and I had a hankering for trying something new in Arlington, and low and behold, there is something new! I'm not sure when Bonchon opened, but I have heard a lot of hype about it, so I was very excited to try it. Having read several other reviews about the long wait, we decided to be proactive and order takeout and ahead of time. Hubby called and placed an order for soy garlic wings, hot wings, an order of fries and pork buns (I was most excited about the pork buns). They told him 15 minutes. WHAT?! That's not slow service, that's speedy! So we threw on presentable clothes and went to pick up our food. Hubby and I were pretty hungry luckily so we chowed down as soon as we got home. Top to bottom favorites were: hot wings (but very spicy), soy garlic wings, pork buns, french fries. That being said, the scale of best to worst probably varies by .002. The hot wings were very spicy and a little too much for me to handle repeatedly, but the flavor and cripsiness exceeded that of the soy garlic. The pork in the buns was tender, but Hubby and I both thought it was lacking a little bit of flavor. They also give good heapings of pickled horseradish (crunch and flavor) and coleslaw. We got regular and kimchi. I preferred the kimchi because it had a kick, but the regular was pretty tasty too. We were very happy with our bonchon meal and will definitely be back! read more

Def not your typical fried chicken wings for those who are expecting just any ole fried chicken - the Best Korean fried chicken wings. Hubby and I got the 20 pc, half spicy and half garlic soy. Spicy was wayyyy to spicy for me (I like a kick but dang, I like to also be able to taste my food and not have my sinuses act like a water spigot) so the garlic soy was IT for me. Very delicious! If there were one closer to us, we would go more often. So we have only been twice. The shrimp shumai and potstickers were pretty good as well. read more

This was our first time to Bonchon, and we really enjoyed ourselves. I had the strips and my husband and friends had the legs and wings. We did the "half and half" sauce, and we couldn't decide which sauce was better! The kimchee coleslaw was very spicy and unique. The only aspect of the whole experience that bothered us a bit was how noisy it was and hard to hear the others at the table... But I guess that just speaks to how busy it was due to the deliciousness! read more

This place reminds me back when I lived in Korea. I swear Korean chicken is the best. Super crunchy. Super flavorful. And they even give you the picked radish on the side like they do in Korea. We got a mix of the soy sauce and spicy flavor and both were good. Our server was really awesome, funny, and checked on us frequently. read more

Bonchon has the best chicken wings eveeeeer!!!! I've been to the Navy Yard location and that was my first time trying Bonchon and I loved the food! The Arlington location is definitely much closer to where I live and so convenient. The diced radish is complimentary to the spicy flavored chicken wings/drumsticks. I definitely favor the soy garlic flavor more than the spicy. If you like the intense spiciness, then that's the one for you. My tongue just gets uncomfortable and my nose won't stop running! Bonchon never disappoints and I'll never get tired of it! read more

Quite possibly one of the most delicious foods I have ever had. The soy garlic wings are absolutely incredible. You can't go here without ordering them. Specifically get them with the pickled radish and white rice. Pretty expensive given that they are selling chicken wings, but it is sooo worth it. Quite heavy, as they are double fried, so don't eat too many or you might feel sick, but it isn't easy to stop. The potstickers are also great. Nice atmosphere, good service, and includes a bar. read more

Korean fried chicken in either sauce is my new love right now!!!! The chicken has a light and crispy taste even though it's fried and then it's coated with the sauce of your choice....hot and extra tasty is how the large pieces of chicken come out to you... My friend and I devoured each piece!!! I tried with the kimchi coleslaw and regular coleslaw both were a hit!!! read more

This location really really dilutes the excellent Bonchon brand. Before you hate me, understand that I am writing this review from one point of view: comparing the Arlington location to the Fairfax location. I've been going to the Fairfax location for the last year and a half that I've lived in that area. I truly love the brand and everything they've been making, with relatively few quips other than some pricing, and a desire for brown rice at that location. So, last weekend when I was in Arlington and was craving Bonchon, I decided to check out the Arlington location. Venue: Upon entering, you see a significant amount of walking space, bar area, and a bit less seating, but reasonable. There's also a large outdoor area. You begin to get the vibe that this may be more of a destination for drinking, than for the cuisine. Everything is clean, comfy enough. As with the Fairfax location, you'll find there is always some kind of dance music playing, 1-3 levels too high, it seems this is part of the nature of the brand. Menu: In comparison to the Fairfax location, you see that there are much fewer food options, and way more drink options. This is sign number two for me, that this is probably a hot happy hour spot. The food menu is significantly smaller, amounting to a single side of one page. The drink menu I believe is 4 pages long, this should show you where their emphasis is. Menu Items I and my girlfriend ate: Appetizer: Pork Buns - for $9.50, you are allotted two meager looking miniature sandwiches of (rice bread I think), and two thin pork slices (tasteless), and some seaweed and garnish. It looks much fancier than it tastes, and was really small. I was surprised, as the portions at Fairfax are usually a bit bigger. Chicken: 10 piece, half and half, strips - The pricing I believe was similar or equal to the Fairfax location, however the quality of the meat was a bit lower. Initially I was excited, because I could tell that the cuts of meat were thicker than what I get at Fairfax. However, you can taste that the meat was not marinated, it was a bit dry inside, whereas the focus of flavor is the battering, and likely flash frying. Supposedly the chicken is made to order, but the edges of the chicken showed clear signs of dryness, usually the kind you see from under heat lamps. If that wasn't the case, then the meat was just clearly overcooked, or was put in some kind of oven (or heat lamp) temporarily, and the dry heat should be looked into for temperature... Bulgogi: This was one of the more astonishing aspects of the meal, but not in a good way. My girlfriend ordered this plate. We've had this identical dish at Fairfax many many times. First off, the portions are literally about half the size of the portion provided by the Fairfax location, though the pricing is similar/equal. Second, the meat was literally tasteless. She didn't even eat more than two bites, I nibbled on it briefly, and we shared my chicken. It comes with a very Americanized romaine-lettuce based salad. Between the chicken and bulgogi, we got the sense that this was a very Americanized version of this Korean treat. Brown Rice: Horrible. Extremely dry, not appetizing. It made me feel bad about going with the healthier option. Summary: This place looks like it's probably more geared towards drinking. Due to the decent atmosphere, and faithful attempt to present something edible, I'll rate it with a bit less hatred. I understand that the entire audience isn't just trying to have a nice dinner with their loved one. With that said, I've been spoiled by eating at other Bonchon locations, and found this to be the worst one yet. I'm actually surprised that it's still carrying the Bonchon name. It feels very very Americanized, and in contradiction with the brand's identity and overall quality. Recommendations: 1. Do NOT put the chicken under heat lamps, or apply dry heat to it. Fry it slower, or time it to be one of the last items that comes out. 2. Work on your brown rice, it's super dry. In the meantime, provide some sauces to give people some semblance of moisture to the meal. 3. Portions, they're currently predatorily small. Price things more accurately to the portions they're receiving, or at least add in the portion description into the menu so people know what they're paying for. By the time it comes out, it's too late and I've already committed to paying for this garbage. 4. Authenticity - the Bonchon brand has a proud Korean image. I quite dig the aura and drinking-oriented Arlington identity you've applied to the location, but the food is an awful representation of what's to be expected. I'll take my business back to Arlington and Annandale next time. For the Reader: If you want to go here for finger food with friends and good day-drinking, this is the place to go. If you want to go to dinner, find a different restaurant, or go to a different Bonchon location. read more

Had carry out today. The owners did a good job with this one. You can tell they care and are trying to do the best they can. I respect that. The chicken is great like Bon Chon chicken should be. read more

Love their food anyway. came for take out. they have nice seating area, full bar and ample parking to me.

I love this place. Decent price for a very good food. The restaurant is very confortable and clean. The staff is great and make you feel great. I deeply recommend it. read more

We went for a quick lunch on a Saturday and got the last free seats at a long table. We ordered both Flavors of chicken, both a mix of wings and a drum, the Nandi, and the onion rings. The fried chicken is amazing! I would suggest getting just the wings unless you want to do your Fred Flintstone imitation- the leg is huge. Spicy means spicy! So, don't order it unless you want hot tingling lips. I loved the mondo. But it seemed like a lot of fried food to me so I asked if, in the future, we could get them other than fried. The waiter checked and said yes but at dinner time. The onion rings were good but a lot of breading. We gave some to the girls sitting next to us to try while they waited for their food. In turn, they let us taste their zucchini app. I would get that next time without the cheese on top. They have a bar but we ordered sparkling water and ice tea. The service was excellent. I am putting it in the rotation! read more

I have to admit that when you first walk in this place there is an unusual smell. If you have ever had the radishes from Bonchon then you know how powerful the smell is. If you do not like the people you work with bring some in and just leave it somewhere. It makes no difference if it is in the refrigerator the smell will find you. Now that I have warned you of that let's talk about this place. This Bonchon is within walking distance of Joint Base Meyer Henderson Hall. This Bonchon is much smaller than other Bonchon's I have been to in the area. One thing that I did like was that it had a separate window for to go orders. I went with a ten piece mixed wings. All chicken is cooked to order so the time of fifteen minutes that was given to me for my order to come out was accurate. In total the time from order to walking out the door was about 10 minutes as the afternoon work crowd was keeping them busy so I am sure I had some wings that were already cooking. Food is consistent with other Bonchons in being tasty and having large wings instead of those mini wings served by some stores. I thought they slipped me a drumstick a few times. Good service and they quickly get your food out so that you may continue on with your day. read more

It was my first time at this place and it did not disappoint! The portions were a nice size and the food was great. I tried the wings with soy garlic sauce and chicken fried rice. The kimchi coleslaw had a little kick to it, but it was nice side to try. I will definitely be back the next time I'm in town. read more
