Large mixed chicken

I paid $42 for this supposingly large mixed wings!!! What happened to the old Bon Chon???? I would not go there again!

Food: 10/10 The wings here are probably the best Korean fried chicken. They come out super hot and crispy. I prefer the soy garlic flavor over hot. The lunch combo here is a great deal as you can choose a side to go with your chicken. I tried the dumplings for the first time and they were okay. The service was great. They checked up on us and refilled our drinks. The location is clean and spacious.

Not the greatest korean fried chicken anymore sadly. Flavor is mediocre. There are better places out there.

Bonchon is one of the most nostalgic restaurants I have in this area and I have frequented quite a many back in the day. I went today to see if it lived up to the charm it had as a child and it certainly didn't match my loving memory. The ambiance was a bit disappointing: the restaurant was completely empty. And while the food was good it was definitely not worth the price. Service was ok. I think in the future I will leave Bonchon as a pleasant memory and not go again to ruin that which what I once had.

Only KFC I like is Korean Fried Chicken and I have to say, for a Franchise NoVA does Bonchon RIGHT. No shade to my Orlando Bonchon but it's just a different level better here. Triple fried skin and the crispiness with adequote not too much soy (honey) garlic is just the perfect synchrony, you know? This is why I was looking forward to being back in NoVA. I had to cancel my order and then reorder 1 hour later and they were cool about it too. I can't do takeout too often bc I gotta watch my Barre figure but maybe I can eat chicken wings and so Barre at the same time to burn it off. It's that good. Family meal option gives you a lot of food under $40.

Just the garlic chicken 8 pc Strips :)

Good service but not the best food , some food was almost flavorless. But the service was nice and fast!

I always enjoy visiting this part of VA as there's always a great selection of Korean comfort food available. Bonchon by far has the best Korean fried chicken - biting into that crispy honey glazed skin and sinking my teeth into that tender, juicy meat is pure heaven. I'd recommend their tteokbokki (has cheese and glass noodles), although it's very spicy for those who prefer milder spice levels. I love spicy food and can handle it fairly well, but the slow intense burn ended up making my eyes and nose run. If you're sensitive to spicy food, steer clear! My nephew wanted the bulgogi rice which he enjoyed, but was too dry for my taste. The takoyaki wasn't anything the write home about. The staff were very efficient and friendly. They were prompt and attentive without being intrusive - while Bonchon is well known for their take out chicken, this location was also great for a sit down meal family. I'd recommend it for sure if you want to enjoy a comfortable Korean chicken and beer meal with friends and family!

It's alright. Fried chicken is too chunky. Good customer service but won't go back for food.

Way overpriced and not that good. I know they are known for their chicken so maybe it's my fault for going with something else.

Visited with my family and saw that they have mochi. Is mochi permanently on the menu or is it a one-time temporary thing? Also, what are the flavors?

She was very nice and helpful with me ordering my food for the first time. Now to the bad part. I've heard a bunch about this place and maybe it was hyped up a lil too much but I was disappointed with the food. I got the classic chicken salad croissant sandwich with couple sides. The broccoli side was pretty good. Tasted solid but I feel like it would be better hot or at least w melted cheese instead of just cold shredded pieces on top. The Mac cheese was just plain cheap microwaved stuff with bland runny sauce n no extra cheese on top. And then the sandwich. I've been obsessed w chicken salad sandwichs (specifically on a croissant) since my older brother used to work at Vie De France back in the 90's. I was excited to try this and it wasn't horrible or even bad but it wasn't great. The croissant was prob the worst part. Its like not a real croissant, it reminded me of something u would get on an airplane. It wasn't flaky and just kinda tastes like white bread. The chicken salad was also mid at best. Very bland and unimpressive Specially at almost 20 bucks for the platter. Maybe I should try one of the other kind. And I will. I'll give this place one more try. Maybe I'll update this then. But for now I do not recommend.

I suppose I should have realized, considering there were 11 very pissy, famished male customers in…read morefront of me, upon realizing that I also was starving and not in a great mood, that we were actually re-enacting the movie "12 Hangry Men." There haven't been a lot of very good hot chicken places I've tried. It's a nice concept, but as with everything that takes over the scene like wildfire, and erupts like Mount Etna once did on sicily, hot chicken is often imitated, but very seldom actually perfected. You can find some great versions in Nashville, and here and there around the country, but I'd say 95% are hipster, overpriced, not too special. Very much chain food these days. Along those lines, Hangry Joe's is definitely a chain, not too personal, not too much that separates it from the rest, but still worth a try if you are a fan of this type of food. I've definitely had worse (looking at you Dave's), but it didn't make me run back for more, and I thought Crimson Coward was a little better. Give it a try and decide for yourself! And if you want to go here on a date with me, maybe I'll Hang-ry out with you for a bit and get some hot chicken.

First off kudos on the chicken fingers, as they have a lime/avocado marinade taste that's delicious. The quality and marinade cannot be disputed. Savor the flavor. This is revolutionary tasting chicken, and the way it falls off, is proof of quality. Fries are not what they used to be. Servings size is skimpy. When you're paying $15 and a tip, these need to be upgraded on both counts please. The biggest disappointment is the toast. Got the heel piece, of white bread last night. When competitors offer Texas toasts that exemplify excellence, this heel of white bread from what appears to be the grocery store, ugh. Thank you to the really nice employees. They are all friendly. Turn around time was good too. This is a very clean location. Definitely like it here, as the ambiance is pretty sweet. Yet my hope is that I write this review honestly, and want them to be back to better. Good spot but that amount of fries and white bread, let's see a turnaround in those aspects.
