    paper plates, plastic forks, plastic cups for dine in.
    Kris P.

    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.

    Just in case you need a take out menu to keep!

    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.

    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.

    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._

    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.

    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.

    Boneless wings with their signature sauce, plain fried rice and daikon radishes (they are good).

    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.

    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.

    They do not. I just called to confirm, since I hadn't been there in a while. They do not currently serve any alcohol.

    Not gonna lie, I held out on coming here after I saw the lines around the block for Canes, but I…read morenever saw Slim Chickens receive the same kind of welcome. I had previously gotten caught up in the Canes hype myself, but quickly realized that the chicken was mid, and the sauce carries that whole franchise. I was also put off by how all of a sudden This area had quickly become the fried chicken capital of Maryland, with all these new chicken spots opening. Roaming Roosters, Canes, 2 Royal Farms, Wing Stop, Popeyes, Nandos, Miski (R.I.P.), Dat Jerk (McJamaican), Bon Chon, The Chicken Shack, and still to come Big Chicken which is owned by Shaq will be opening somewhere in the area. It just seems like a lot. To the point i heard someone refer to this area as "The Chicken strip" lol However, I was on Grubhub one night and decided to give it a try. I got a chicken sandwich with Korean BBQ sauce that I wasn't crazy about. The sandwich was just completely soaked with sauce and was sloppy, I wasn't feeling it. I also ordered the wings with cayenne ranch dry rub, and they were absolute fire. So then of course I had to follow up by trying the strips which I actually did today. We dined in (even though I ordered to go) and the staff was reallly nice, like Chickfila level nice, and the store was super clean. There was even a guy outside sweeping the parking lot, that to me looked spotless, but I guess he was sweeping away any possibility that a speck of dirt or debris may land, because I didn't see anything anywhere. When I got my food the first thing I thought was, these tenders look similar to Cane's. Like, almost identical, but as soon as I took a bite, there was no more comparison. The tenders were perfectly seasoned and the fries look the same way McDonald's fries look (in commercials), golden with a slight crunch, and not overly salty. (Review then sits in my draft for like 4 months at this point. I dont even know why) Picking up where I left off, I've since been here like 5 times. I still like it alot, the sandwiches are fire, the tenders are fire, and the wings (cayenne ranch) are fire. Though, I do wish incould get cayenne ranch tenders, but for a once every now and then option this spot is solid.

    I had a deal for Slim to try their food and went on Wednesday, March 12 with my girlfriend. We…read morethought it was crazy Slim had just recently opened right across the street from Raising Cane's, which had opened 1.5 years earlier in September 2023, which I remember going on their 2nd day in Gambrills and was a madhouse. Business at Slim was light on this Wednesday early evening. While similar to Cane's, one key difference is Slim has more menu variety. At Cane's, it's simply the chicken tender baskets, and Slim has the same thing but also chicken sandwiches as well as more dessert options like chocolate Oreo in a mason jar and other mason jar dessert varieties. We had gotten a tender strip basket & chicken sandwich. I think the chicken sandwich was solid. The chicken tenders were pretty good, but inferior to Cane's across the street, but that would is very high bar to reach Cane's level. Fries & Texas toast was good here, but Cane's is a bit better too. I did like the varieties of dipping sauces here. At Cane's it's just the Caniac sauce. Here I got their Slim sauce & ranch. The tenders are also smaller than at Cane's. But the price for their basket is a fair amount cheaper than Cane's, so that is a plus. In addition to the food deal, I also had a free Mason jar dessert, which I got the Oreo one to split with my g/f. It was the highlight of the entire meal, which was delicious. Additionally, the cashier was very friendly answering all my questions. I will say the service was friendlier here at Cane's. Cane's they are just trying to get people through the line. Overall, I would consider Slim as an option for the chicken sandwich and/or if I have a deal.

I've only been here once so far, but I was already happy with what they have to offer. We ordered three entrées for the three of us dining in. There was no one else here, but it wasn't long after they opened. Hopefully things pick up here soon! Three meals was MORE than too much! You get a TON of food for that price! Each one comes with two big scoops of plain white rice and a scoop of a rather savory macaroni salad. I'm not a huge mac salad fan to start with, but most of them come out very sweet. Not this one, however! It was a nice departure from the standard. I had the Hawaiian grilled chicken. I did have to ask what type of chicken they used, and the guy said it was dark thigh meat. I'm normally a white meat guy, but I gave it a go anyway. I'm so glad I did! This dish was very tasty! It could use more sauce, maybe even some on the side, but it was still quite flavorful. My wife got the short ribs (tasty) and my kid went with the fried shrimp (HUGE!!). There was so much food, that we basically took about 50% of it home. So, before you grouse about the price, it's a LOT of food for the dollar. At least two meals... unless you're super-hungry. The service was fast and the dude was helpful. We didn't have to wait long for everything to be ready. The décor is sparse and could use some Hawaiian flavor. It's pretty drab currently. Overall, this is a neat addition to the Crofton food scene. I really hope it stays around for a while. Whenever I'm in in the Pacific time zone, I always try to find Hawaiian restaurants, as the food is so delicious to me. This might be the go-to answer to my prayers. I'll need to try it out more to confirm!

The two pianist did no dueling at all; they did mostly duets or took turns taking requests. I was hoping to witness a musical battle. In addition the food was horrid. I ordered the stuffed shrimp with the mushroom risotto but twice my shrimp were undercooked literally gray lines still on the shrimp. When I asked for melted butter for my broccolini I was given cubes of cold butter. I then ordered the short rib having given up on the shrimp and the short ribs slow cooked would surely be done and savory however the carrots could not be cut with a knife at all. I returned the dish and decided to give up. My partner ordered the fish and chips but the fish and chips had a charred old taste as the grease was old and therefore the food had a Smokey taste. I looked at my surroundings and everyone pretty much ordered sandwiches and fries of which they left ample amounts of food untouched. As for the drinks the holiday margarita was mostly ice, very thin small glass and there was no edible glitter in it as promised per the menu. No beers on draft.

I got a steak, quesadilla, etc., and nothing is great. One time I was considering getting a burger, and I found out that they had pork in their burgers, which is wrong; I don't eat pork. The only thing that was great was their pretzel, which I had a couple of bites of someone else's on that Saturday trivia semifinals, in which I had plans for my birthday late lunch birthday deal over in Annapolis. I needed to get there by lunch time as the price is a lot more expensive at dinner, which starts at 3 there. Drinks are good here at Frisco. Service can be pretty slow here sometimes although last time I was there 2 weeks ago, they were surprisingly fast. The 3-stars is mostly for the mediocre food.
