I didn't like the food at all. I should have just gotten the chicken sandwich. There was a Chinese restaurant next door and I wish I had gone there instead. read more

I decided to try something new to me in the area. Everyone is always talking about how amazing this place is and I wanted to check it out. Plus I've seen these mozzarella sticks on tik tok and really wanted to try one and am so glad I did! So good! I ordered online and it was ready when I arrived. I left my house as soon as I ordered it (was ready 8 minutes early) The place is small and dark but the food is awesome. read more

Dine in service is completely absent. Once food was served, it was pretty much cafeteria style they dont check on you... I had to ask for the pickled radish, and this was well after our meal was done. No water refill, no extra napkins. No apologies. I have been to many franchise locations from California to Maryland, and this location takes the cake for horrendous. I couldn't get past the horrible service to even taste my food. Why was everything served in to-go containers? -24pcs soy garlic -Japchae -2 steamed rice -pickled radish Management, please work with your staff on service. Please close your dining area if you're understaffed, and let customers know that takeout is only available at the given time. $66.67 wasted... disappointing 1st visit to this location. Yikes. read more

The closest option when I'm craving Korean fried chicken. Easy to order online and ready fairly quickly.

We ordered online for pickup and the process was super easy! Just walked in told them my name and was handed my bag of food. We decided on 8 yangnyeom and 8 Korean bbq flavor wings. Wow the crunch was still there even after bring doused with the sauce! And I loved how the yangnyeom had a little bit of heat but not too much. Definitely ordering these again! read more

Ahmad and the staff were great. He shared how abusive customers can be and we had a great exchange on the value of customer service. I got the 16 wing pieces for my wife to enjoy! Oh, the soy garlic is the top choice! My order was prepared while I waited. Bonchon is on the inside with enough room for a small family of six to sit comfortably. There were two other parties already sitting down, enjoying the food and the ambiance is not too noisy. read more

Moldy cheese is crazy. I love Bonchon, but this location was just bad. The food didn't taste good and I got moldy cheese. I ordered the tteokboki and chicken. The teokbokki was dry and lacked flavor. read more

I am on a Korean chicken kick and felt the need to grab some chicken before football. I order a small combo 2 drums and 4 wings, plain. Just want to taste the chicken without all the sugar and spices. The service was awesome, I walked up the the register and placed my order, I nailed it. Then the wait began for fresh chicken. I am willing to wait for good chicken. Food arrived pipping hot, the chicken was super breaded but good. It was as if they used a funnel cake batter to bread the wings. I like thin breading. No awful just not my jam. Overall taste was great 5.4 out of 10 read more

I love the coleslaw and the chicken. I have only done delivery so don't know what the restaurant is like.

I mean they are the best wings available. I personally like the spicy flavor. Spicy but addictive. The price point has definitely increased but the product has remained consistent... excellent. Now for portion size. I can eat 15 by myself. So I think 32 is good for two people over a 4 hour period. However, if this is something you want to eat throughout the day you will need more than 32. For instance you buy 32 at noon. You will be fine sharing them with one other person. However, you will want something else around 7. So buy more than 32 if you want to eat these for lunch and dinner. read more

Bonchon makes the best chicken! Was driving by saw this location by surprise and took a detour straight in for lunch. Dining room was empty but there was a steady stream of take out orders so we ate at the bar. The service was impeccable and the restaurant is clean. My favorite is still those giant chicken drums with the bestest crunch you could ever taste. Wow! My son ordered french fries and he was given a paper bag full, so good. Must be the pandemic , they served our food on paper plates, plastic utensils. No matter, we were there to GRUB! Five stars._ read more

I would not be back here. The chicken was extremely over cooked/burnt. The fries had no flavor and the atmosphere of the restaurant just seemed run down. read more

The food was hot and delicious!!! The chicken is always mouth watering! The workers went above and beyond to assist me.

COVID update: Best option is order online and pick up in person. They do not allow dine-in at this point and have created a plastic barrier to aid in contact-free pick-up to protect customers and staff. They also offer delivery but I find the food is often delivered cold by the third party delivery services. Quality of food has remained very good for us and we celebrated when they reopened. Our last purchase was a family meal. Everything was excellent and the servings as expected. read more

Food and service has gone downhill. Today went with family and lady was rude... we felt very uncomfortable plus the food was cold and mediocre. Won't recommend. read more

I used to love the chicken but they must've changed where they originally got their chicken because the quality went downhill. I used to love to get their chicken strips but now it's mostly breading. I still enjoyed some of their other sides like the corn dog and fried rice though. It's just unfortunate the chicken is different read more

Business responded promptly to my report via email. They wanted me to reach out to the store so they can give me free 8 more pieces of drumsticks and other discounts for future orders. Very generous, but I declined the offer since I'm not willing to drive 30 - 45 minutes from Catonsville to Crofton, just for that and some coupons. So I just suggested to just refund us what we paid for and call it even. I don't think they like that response, it's been couple of days and I haven't heard anything back from them. I may never ever go back to this particular store for logistical reason, let alone just for a redo of my order. A refund would suffice and at this time, the only option. read more

I've had Bonchon at their Arundel Mills location years ago. I tried them again since they now have a location in Gambrills. This is quickly becoming my favorite chicken. I love the sauce and the crunchy chicken. This pic is of the boneless since I don't like picking out the veins, skin, tendons, fat and skin on boned chicken. When I went, it was empty inside and a few To-go orders lined up for pickup. But the attendant was very nice as she handed me the food. Everything was tasty. This was our first time trying daikon radishes and we enjoyed them. I will be back soon. read more

Best chicken wings I've ever had! Was visiting from out of town and wish I had tried it earlier so I could have gotten it more. The pickled radish was delicious! read more

Visited on a rainy Sunday, there was only one other table of patrons. There were many people that came in get take out orders. They do have table service so we sat down and ordered off the menu. They do not have beer or wine. The wings were extraordinary and the other food choices were tasty. I will return! Lots of free parking at this location, as this located in a mini mall. There is a Chinese food place next store and a Krispy Kreme. read more

We are occasional visitors to Bonchon but have not been there since the COVID restrictions were put in place. Tonight we ordered pick-up just as a treat. We ordered Japchae, potstickers, and a sesame salad. Our order was ready early and the pick up was easy. When we got home we were impressed with the the beautiful salad and the delicious Japchae. The potstickers were delicious as usual - a little heat to warm up on a cool read more

My husband, son, and I have been here several times. The restaurant was very clean and well laid out on the occasions that we were there. It is very aesthetically pleasing. We ordered at the counter and they brought the food to our table. I really enjoy how diverse their menu is and all of the different options you have to customize your order. My husband and son both ordered chicken wings and really enjoyed them. They liked the preparation and thought the sauces were very flavorful. I had the vegetable bibimbop. The portion was very large and it was super tasty. I also got the soy garlic potstickers and they were really good. I typically do not like garlic, but it was not overpowering at all. It is a little pricey, but definitely worth it. We have also ordered carry out and the quality was just as good. read more

My wings were fatty and cold. My first bite, amazing good crunch. Every wing after that? I bit into fat fat fat! Seriously disappointed

Do not sleep on Bon Chon, it is as good as advertised. I've been to a few different locations and have never been more happy to be living right down the street from this location in Gambrills. I usually get the Soy Garlic chicken which is amazing. The spicy is also really good, but can be a bit much if you're not a spice fan. During my last visit I was able to venture past the wings, and order a few items I hadn't had before. The Salmon Avocado ball was really good, though it wasn't how I thought it would be. I was almost expecting it to come with something to dip it with. It almost feels like you eating dip with a spoon/fork. The pot stickers were decent, you can get them with soy garlic or with their spicy sauce. They were a big hit with my kids. My lady ordered the Bibimbap which is a rice dish with assorted veggies and meat. If I had to walk into BonChon and not get chicken this dish would probably be my go to. I myself ordered the Bull Dak entree, the waiter made sure to spell out how spicy it was for me. I was told it was as spicy as the spicy wings are, but with a different flavor. He gave it an 8 out of 10 for spiciness which was pretty accurate. It was a spicy chicken stir fry with mixed veggies and rice cakes. Also very delicious, and in all honesty this dish can be shared between 2 people with the huge portion that is served. I took some home, and shared it with my mother, then still had enough to have for dinner the next day. The location is very clean, and the staff was very helpful and professional. They were short staffed the night that my family came in, but that server was so on point that you wouldv'e never known it wasn't supposed to be this way. He worked about 6-7 tables by himself, slightly assisted by the bar tender who would bus tables. I can't imagine what service would be like fully staffed..lol If you're not already out the door you should be, this place is incredible. Can't wait to go get my next fix... read more

My friend got me hip to this chain. I would pass up on it thinking it would be like over hyped joint. Clearly I was mistaken. I would expect less then stellar service... I was wrong. So, I ordered 50.50 chicken. Half spicy and half soy garlic. The spicy is very firey hot! It's good but too spicy for me. Soy garlic it's delicious and crispy. Kinda sweet and spicy. Kimchi: picked cabbage. Fail! Too stale and too much vinegar. Seasoned fries: tasty but expensive... I rather makem at home Service: is aight read more

So I'm the first reviewer huh? Awesome. So if you have never been to a Bon Chon understand this, eating fried chicken will never be the same for you. Korean fried chicken is hands down the best fried chicken in the entire world. The rest of the food isn't so bad either :) Now I need to make this known, I'm a Bon Chon fan for many years after searching for the same taste I had when I was in Korea, and while it's not exactly the same the chicken it's good enough to have you become a repeat customer like my family and I have become. It's great not to have to go farther out (yes I know there's a Hyattsville location but I don't like going near the college location). Our waitress, Ai was awesome and the rest of the crew was super friendly. For starters we had the shrimp shumai and the salmon ball.... sooo yum get it. Seriously. For the main we stuck with our favorites. My mom had the small fried chicken wings order in soy garlic and spicy and I had the spicy chicken bibimbap. In the words of the Legos Movie, "Everything was awesome" So come on in and get addicted too read more

I haven't been to this Bonchon in a few years, (Covid and trying to eat less fried foods) but yesterday I had a craving for the soy garlic strips that wouldn't go away. Placed an order for the lunch special soy garlic strips and a side of radish. I was so excited to get it! (Side note: Looks like they arent doing dine in as all tables were covered with chairs and pushed back). My excitement quickly turned to disappointmentI, this is what I got. Sad looking pieces of chicken with almost no sauce - definitely not like the big, crunchy pieces they used to serve. The packaging was cheap and falling apart by the time I drove back to my office (10 minutes away). The only item that had the Bonchon logos on it was the carry out bag. The chicken was inedible but the radish was good. I'm going to go to another location and see if I get what I expected or if all locations have changed so drastically. Sadly, this place started as a 5 star place for me back 2017. read more

If you haven't tried Bonchon you must! Went for lunch and was very happy with the server, Cameron. We ordered the wing lunch special, bulgogi tacos, calamari and bulgogi plate. Everything was very good. I especially loved the tacos they were topped with slaw and a slightly spicy sauce. The wings come in 3 amazing flavors and they all have a crispy flavorful crunch. It was a very clean restaurant. Will definitely return! read more

We waited 40 minutes for an order that we placed in the restaurant before we spoke up and said something...it was only supposed to take 10-15 mins. After asking where our food was, they admitted that they hadn't checked the walk-in orders--they were only looking at online orders. Smart. Anyway, it took another 25 minutes for us to finally get our super basic lunch order, which was a little unacceptable. I saw so many people walk in and walk out, you'd think they ask why we were still sitting by the cashier after almost an hour. Really disappointed. So make sure you do online orders if you're planning to pick up your food. They can't keep up otherwise. read more

The japchae portion was incredibly small. It actually startled me. LOL The serving barely covered the bottom of the bowl it came in. Both it and the Korean fried rice did not taste good at all. I thought the food was supposed to taste and look the same from one Bonchon to another. But this location was wildly different from other Bonchons I've visited. The japchae and fried rice were so divergent in taste from other Bonchons, it's as if this location went rogue with a totally different recipe. I'm sorry to be saying this because the staff were very nice and friendly. read more

I can't be bothered to cook. I just want food delivered to my mouth. The spicy chicken tacos, fried chicken, and fried rice from Bonchon looked like just the precursor for a wonderful, filled-belly sleep. Ordered via GrubHub and it was here in no time. I f!@ed up. The tacos were warm....spicy warm mayo wrapped in a soft shell taco. There may have been other stuff in there but it was all the consistency of mayo so...yeah spicy mayo soft taco. Gross. Two whole tacos and one taco with a bite out of it in the trash. The chicken I assume was cooked this morning then put under a heat lamp all day. It was shiny like someone had sprayed on spray tan. Once I bit through the outer, spray tan shell, it was just dry chicken. Four whole legs and one leg with a bite out of it in the trash. The plain fried rice was hot and tasted nice. It was in fact fried rice. It was the only edible thing in the whole $50+ order. I wish I could go back in time and just order McDonalds. read more

Literally, the best wings ever! The crunchy double layer is what makes it the best wings nearby. Come in for lunch or dinner, smaller cheaper portions for lunch but still great taste! Also the bulgolgi fried rice is awesome. Used to be better. But they changed the recipe slightly, and it's just not the same now. Go back to the old recipe!! Jake n kev read more

Amazing chicken. The crunch gives me life. I ordered the spicy (true to its name) and watched the smoke come out of my mouth. The next day, I popped the chicken in the toaster and voilà, great second day bites. The plain was ideal for my 3.5 year-old, because it was just as crunchy, just as flavorful, but ideal for her junior spice palate. I can't wait to try the garlic soy, but I can't imagine it would be a bad bite. read more

So excited to have a BonChon in Crofton now! It's a very clean, modern look and layout. The service was excellent, super friendly and helpful. We started with soft drinks, chicken strips and gyoza... a mix of soy-garlic and spicy. It was really good and the spicy was pretty hot! My son and I got bulgogi while my wife had bibimbap and my brother had chicken katsu . I did not see the steamed veggies that were listed with the bulgogi dish, but didn't miss them either. An excellent restaurant and an excellent opening day! Do NOT be fooled by the 10:30 closing time, as we were. We showed up at 10:03pm tonight, and were turned away. Apparently it's carry out only after 10p. Guess the honeymoon is over, with a continuous slide into the mediocre. There have been dramatic reductions in quality of food and preparation. Sure miss the early days when Peter and Wendy ran the place read more

Bon Chon is known for its Fried Chicken, and it totally lives up to it~ Pros: - Awesome fried chicken!!! - Cool vibe and aesthetic - Good for big groups Cons: - Other food pales in comparison to the fried chicken Food: I ordered 20 Chicken wings (half spicy, half not), a Salmon Avocado Ball and the Chicken Katsu. The Chicken Wings were quite satisfying! They have their noteworthy thickness and crunch that when paired with their coating... it's absolutely a great sensation. A sweet though spicy combo that really gives a lot of flavor and texture in a single bite.l! The Salmon Avacado Ball was pretty disappointing in contrast. The inside was wet and soggy, and the ball easily fell apart. I would not recommend this dish. The Chicken Katsu is a more traditional meal you'd find at a restaurant. A pretty ordinary chicken cutlet in many respects. It's alright. But the reason you come to Bon Chon is for the fried chicken, so none of this is held against it. Service: I was quickly served and addressed by the waitstaff. Wait time: 15 minutes Atmosphere: The overall decor is pretty fresh and stylish. They have plenty of seating and would be great for large groups. They play a mix of kpop music that simply add to the cool/relaxed atmosphere where you can both bop to the music and carry a conversation over it easily. Finish: Would totally recommend if you wanna get your hands dirty with friends! Great food and vibe for a night out. read more

I discovered something bad like disease food when I picked up the meal that I ordered. I brought back to the cashier and something wrong, and he refused to compensate. My meal already became cold and no good. I ate little and it made me feel alittle vomit. Also, I wonder why the food price is small and too expensive than going to the Korean restaurant. I will have to alert friends not buying anything from the Bonchon. I will never buy it from that again for the rest. read more

Bonchon Crofton - Asian Fusion Near Me - Gambrills, Maryland

I don't know if this is true, but Korean fried chicken is fried twice during the process and that's what makes it different. True or not, I believe it because that Bonchon crunch is something out of this world. Bonchon deserves all the kudos for bringing this type of chicken "mainstream". So happy they opened a location in Crofton, where good Asian eats are rare. I always get a medium box of drumsticks to go - spicy all day, everyday. When I had Bonchon for the first time years and years ago, I was surprised by the heat this packed. The drumsticks are always a good size too. While I grew up on rice as the holy grail side (/main) dish, I rarely get that with the Korean fried chicken here. Same goes with spicy mayo. The fries are really good when they come out hot. Another note: I applaud them for their quick action during this pandemic. They were doing takeout and delivery at first, but proactively decided to close to keep customers safe. I'm taking note of all the companies putting employees and their patrons first, so kudos to you Bonchon! read more

We came for the wings! We got the wings. They were awesome. This location is a bit smaller than the Hyattsville location but it still served its purpose. I ordered the shrimp shumai and the Japchae....it really didn't taste how I thought it would. The shrimp shumai had a weird after taste with the honey mustard. The Japchae wasn't as spicy as I would have liked it. read more
