The server was friendly and food came 20 minutes later, chicken is made to order and the beer on tap was nice and cold. Perfect combination beer and chicken. 20 piece combo spicy and original. Also ordered chicken tacos. First Bonchon I have been too where it's sit down service. I love it. This was came up in my yelp and we happen to be across the street. Great surprise pit stop. Love Bonchon!!! Definitely worth the trip and pit stop. So so good. read more

The wings are really good, crunchy and was fresh. Ordered for a small gathering last minute so this worked out great! Will recommend.

Caution: The spicy wings are VERY spicy. Very good quality chicken though!

I live going to eat at bonchon because it's a unique tasting for fried chicken and it's nationally everywhere far as I know, the price might be on the expensive side but quality is hard to beat plus the ample of food you get for the entrees as well! read more

I heard a lot of negative things about this location. I've been going to the Ellicott City location for the past year, and I love that one. Its been a few months now, so I figure I give this location a shot since they should have worked out all of their issues. I noticed right off the back that this location is smaller then the Ellicott City location, or I guess some would say "Cozy". Their are also less items on the menu compared to the Ellicott City Location. For the Lunch Menu, the Chicken and Fries don't come as a combo, they are sold separately. With the Chicken being around $9 and the Fries around $4. However, there is a lunch combo with the Chicken, you just have the choice of either Raddish or Kimchi as your side. I know, not the choices you really want when it comes to Fried Chicken. The Fries are different at this location, they're standard French Fries, where the Ellicott City location has Seasoned Fries. The one item that has stayed the same is the Fried Chicken. You still have the choice of Soy Garlic or Spicy, and the selection of Wings, Tenders, or Legs. I ordered Wings Half and Half ( Soy Garlic & Spicy) and split an order of French Fries with my sister. The Chicken was hot, fresh, juicy and crispy. So Crispy, that there was a massive crunch when I bit into them. The French Fries where good, your typical fries. The Waiter even brought us extra French Fries ( On the house) as he mentioned "There doesn't look like there's enough Fries on the table for you all, so here are some Hot Fries". Heck Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. I'll never turn down Hot French Fries. My co-worker begged to differ, as she thought we had plenty of French Fries, but the rest of us were excited about the French Fries. My meal was delicious, and I couldn't as for anything better. We were greeted by a Hostess when we first walked in, and also when we left. Our Waiter was Friendly and nice. He came over a few times to check on us and talk with us through our meal. Comparing my experience to co-workers who went to BonChon when it first opened, I would say that Bonchon has definitely improved. Although I had a good experience, I will continue to go to the Ellicott City location, but if I want a quick fix, I will definitely come to this BonChon. read more

Bonchon Hanover - Soy Garlic and Spicy Wings - Korean Near Me - Hanover, Maryland

I don't understand why this place has had such bad reviews. I've been there for both dining in and ordering carryout, and neither has given me any issues. Just call your order in and it minimizes any confusion. The only reason I'm giving this 4 stars is because we ordered the bibimbap and were not impressed. The rice was dry and overall the bibimbap had no flavor. read more

Bonchon Hanover - Bibimbap - Korean Near Me - Hanover, Maryland

First time stopping by to try out this location. We usually go to the one in Ellicott City and We Are Addicted! We really like this location, it's not very clouded and the atmosphere is more lay back. And I got to tell you their chicken strips are BIG in side compare to EC location. I can tell although BonChin is franchise but they run different location individually, from the preparation of he chicken and the variety of alcohol. This location does not have as big selection of drinks compare to EC. For a family of 4 like us this is the "to go" place. We enjoy the chicken strips and fried rice and have left over for tomorrow, for their portions are big. Our server Paul is attentive and friendly. We will be back! read more

Bonchon Hanover - Korean Near Me - Hanover, Maryland

I'm writing my first yelp review right now because I got a premium service at this newly opened Bonchon!!!!! I went there on a Wednesday night around 7 PM with my fam, and I was lucky to find a parking space right in front of Portbelly which was next to Bonchon. I didn't even have to make a reservation since it was on weekday, so we got seated as soon as we walked in there :) First, I got the lemon breeze drink in a candy-jar shaped glass ( thought that was super cute! ) I asked the manager about it, and she said they sell the glass for like $4 there!! They also had the Japanese marble drinks (Ramune, Japanese fruit soda) in different flavors and were displayed at the bar. Second, I ordered the spicy chicken strips, seasoned fries, Japchae (glass noodles) and fried rice with seafood, and all of them costed around $43 before tax and stuffs. They had one size for the fried rice and the noodles, but we got a big portion for them. The spicy chicken was really spicy for us but it perfectly went well together with pickled radish!!!! I just wished the fries would be more crispy, but it was MUCH BETTER THAN McDonald's !!! The seasoned fries are a must try at Bonchon!! Third, I tried the caramel and chocolate mochi ice cream for desserts, and they are topped with whipped cream and Matcha powder. I and my family members got so full with such the delicious food after the dinner. We LOVED that restaurant because they took care of us. The restaurant got a little hectic with the take outs while we were eating but they paid attention to the customers. Overall, I was sooo satisfied :D So, I would definitely go back there with my family !!!!!!!!!!!! read more

I have yet to visit a bonchon that I like as much as the Elliott City location. Unfortunately, this is still true after visiting the Hanover location. It's much smaller than the other bonchons. The wings were a little bit drier than what I remembered. Nevertheless, the soy garlic wings still had the same great flavor. read more

Bonchon Hanover - mochi flavors - Korean Near Me - Hanover, Maryland

Came here with 10 other people (four kids) and everybody liked the experience. Had the soy garlic wings, jap chae, pork belly buns, some salmon cake thing, and ?tako tako? . The wings were awesome. One day will need to try the spicy ones. Everything else was good too. If I had to order again, I'd probably get the tako tako and buns along with the chicken. Food didn't take a long time to come out and we were seated and served pretty quickly. read more

Good Korean food! Ordered online through the Yelp app. The wait was not long, order complete and food was great. One negative is the onion rings were falling apart. read more

Carryout went so smoothly! Walked in, ordered dumplings and chicken, less than 10 minutes walked out with our food. And those spicy dumpling burn! Way hotter than the chicken. If you like spice, you'll love these! read more

Screw this place, it sucks. Just this location, not bon chon in general. It's a Korean chicken place but they are charging for the pickled radish side dish for $2.25. Go to the Ellicott City location. They pickled radish is FREE. Plus the Ellicott City location cooks and serves their dishes better and are more authentic to the Korean style as they have a larger Korean customer base. The one on Arundel Mills is just serving up chicken as fast as they without any thought to the brand. Never gonna come back here. Comment to the response: I ordered a medium chicken strip for carry out. I asked about the pickled radish and the cashier inquired with the manager who came back and so no pickled radish was included as complimentary, ever. I paid $2.25 to get a single serving which wasn't much. read more

Ah man. I thought I had found a new regular spot for great chicken. I placed an order on Super Bowl Sunday and it was awesome!!!! The chicken was hot, flavorful and I really liked the soy ginger sauce. And the coleslaw was great. I picked up an order today 2/9, just 2 days later and there are "inconsistencies". The food was warm at best. There was barely any soy ginger sauce on the wings. Such a shame. You have to be consistent in the way the food is presented. If not for this, I would be a regular customer for sure. read more

First, let me say that I really love Bonchon Chicken, but this has to be the worst location I have been to, and I have been to more than 20 different locations. I placed a Pickup order, and it took 30 minutes longer than I was promised when I placed the order. Order was incomplete, and I had to wait another 10 minutes for the last item. After all of that, there was no plastic ware or napkins in the bags, nor any condiments or sauces, even though I was told by the receptionist that it was all in the bags. Despite being cold, the food was very bland compared to other Bonchon locations, and completely underwhelming. I will not be going back to this location, as it is nothing like a "real" Bonchon. read more

I had been debating for awhile if I wanted to take the ride to try Bonchon due to the fact that I live in the city and all of their locations are pretty much in the counties in Maryland. But I love good food and have been wanting to try them for awhile, so I just went after getting off of work and I have to say, I'm glad I came! This location is tucked in the back between McDonalds and Golden Corral. Due to the pandemic, it's delivery or carry out only. I tried calling but the phone kept ringing, so I went inside to order. The decor is modern, I digged the color scheme and it was very clean and well lit. The person who took my order was very knowledgeable and pleasant. I waited about 15,20 minutes for my food. I ordered the wings, small order(that's 10 in an order) and I got Half and Half flavors- Soy Garlic and Spicy, I ordered fries on the side and a drink, this all came to about 20 bucks. I will mention that they only offer a combo of the wings, fries, and a drink for the lunch special that ends at 2:30 pm, so I had to order all separately, but I didn't mind. The wings were sooooo goooodd! They were very crispy, but not overly done crispy. The Soy Garlic wings were very flavorful, savory and not overdone with garlic. The Spicy wings were definitely spicy , but there is a sign warning you of that, so that was on me, but they were very good. The wings come with Cole slaw or pickled radish, I choose the Cole slaw, it had a unique flavor to it, but it was good with the chicken. The fries came with Parmesan cheese and parsley sprinkled all over, pretty good flavor. The fries weren't crisp, but they weren't necessarily soggy either. I definitely enjoyed my food and will be back again, but I won't get that spicy ass chicken again, lol read more

I received a response from the manager/owner in response to my less than stellar review. I always see this as a plus as it shows that they care. Tonight I landed at BWI and decided to give it a shot again. I got the half and half wings and they were very similar to the ones that I got my first time here. Very flavorful and perfectly cooked. As to speed, this place is not quick but the food was well cooked and hot so the wait is worth it. As for service, maybe it's a cultural thing but first interactions with staff leaves you with the feeling that they are aloof however every server I have had has been very pleasant and accommodating. I hope this is a sign that the place has gotten over the grand opening inconsistencies and is primed for success. I will be back! read more

Bonchon Hanover - Korean Near Me - Hanover, Maryland

I really love their wings. Their fried rice is ok, but some of the other things I tried I didn't enjoy. Get the wings, don't bother with the 'strips', they are just sliced up breasts and not nearly as good. I normally did take out prepurchased through YELP and it always worked out pretty good. read more

The owner asked us to give them another chance, so we did today. WE COULD NOT BE HAPPIER!!!!!! It was as delicious as the very first time we tried BonChon and we remembered why this is the best chicken we have every had. Thank you so much for reaching out to us and making us loyal customers once more. The chicken was juicy and tender. The flavors were out of this world amazing!!!! read more

The food was okay. I lived in South Korea for 2 years and my favorite dish was Beef Bulgogi, so imagine how excited I was to try it out. Just to be clear, I have ordered this dish twice on two separate occasions JUST to make sure I wasn't being bias. And both times I've been disappointed. Not sure why, but they add a lot of barely cooked onions and the flavor of the marinade is bland. Plus my table was sticky... Not sure what that was about. The hostess was really pleasant and the way it's decorated is really updated, but not impressed by the food. I couldn't even eat the whole plate and did not want to take it to go. They praise they're wings, so perhaps those are the star of the restaurant. But if you're looking for a good KOREAN dishes, don't come here. Highly unrecommended! read more

ĢSo, we LOVE Bon Chon! Where I'm from, in Montgomery County, Bon Chon's are dimly lit with great bars, have awesome K-Pop or sports playing on wall-sized screens, and feel trendy and on point. THIS one, however, is McDonald's with meh chicken wings. Initially I blamed it on Covid and hoped it would get better. The fast food atmosphere and grab it and go stylee has gone nowhere and doesn't seem like ît ever will. The twice fried chicken, for which I would forgive a multitude of sins, has become a subpar version of BWW with Bon Chon Sauce. It's served packed to go with ZERO ambiance and less than zero service. It no longer is super crunchy, the daikon radish side is. tastless, and the coleslaw sucks! The potstickers taste like they came from a Trader Joe's bag and you can't even get a beer or Soju. We will NOT be back! Hopefully the Ellicot City location is something close to the original. I'm not holding my breath and, worse case scenario, will head back to Montgomery County for the real deal. read more

Ive had the wings from ellicott city bon chon so i was disappointed by the tiny morsels of meat they gave me. The first time I came, the wings and strips were huge and they were perfect for the price. Now the wings and strips are very dry and tough and tiny, I actually had to drink water just to get the nonexistent meat from the tiny pieces of meat down. If the owner is going to be cheaper and is going to make the pieces smaller, give more to make up for it. I don't want to pay 12 dollars for something the size of my thumb. Service is amazing and no complaints there. I just feel bad that they have to serve customers pitiful food and that they have to deal with angry customers because the owner can't do it right. Not happy with this location and will not be returning. Hope the management learns from their mistakes and fixes this place before it closes down. Ive been eating at ellicott city bonchon and I know that quality is by far incomparable. PS: I read the other reviews and it seems like the manager just copies and pastes the top apology part to reviews that are similar. It should be sincere. A manager who really cares wouldn't be providing customers with thumb sized drumettes. read more

Eating here twice has had inconsistent experiences... The first time we were here, it was crowded, which is given since the place is small. The host was really nice, cute, short girl-such a welcoming person! The wait was long, but could be longer-a lot of people turned around when they saw how packed it was but, we stuck it out. When we finally got seated, our server was nice as well, pretty attentive. The floors & rugs weren't very helpful with the rainy weather, which is a safety hazard to the customers & employees. We got our drinks and put in our order. We received the takoyaki first, japchae, then wings. Everything was nice and hot, then we eventually received the tteoboki...probably halfway. So, minus points for that but the service & food was good. Second trip, way less people. We thought the food was going to be quicker and have better service since it was empty. Well, the server was ok, other servers refilled our water quicker though-thank goodness! The wings were a somewhat cold when we got it and the shumai took FOREEEVER...not sure why since it wasn't too busy. With all that, we decided to do a take out/pick up order, but wait...they don't do thatttttt Do they think about how much they are losing out on having people pick up their orders?! Let's say they get 5 calls for a 20pcs, at $22.95 + tax or whatever else they were gonna order...that can be $125ish +/-. That could have covered the loss for those people that walked out ‍‍‍‍ Anywaysssss, this is still their soft opening so, I highly suggest that they read our comments to improve until they have their grand opening! I do wish them well since I want to have my chicken & beer while watching my kdramas. I will revisit my review a few visits after the grand opening...hoping for better! ReCap: 1. Please have TAKE OUTS 2. Have better floor mats for the rainy days 3. Keep consistent with the food & service 4. Did I mention take outs? Fighting! read more

This is the third time that I came to this place. The first time I came here, I found the place pretty decent and clean. The food s were okay, just regular. However, when I came here today, I was surprised because the place was dirty. The floor and the rugs need sweeping. The pavement has dirt stains...It is really filthy! I hope the management should do something about this because cleanliness is very important esp in a restaurant. read more

Bonchon Hanover - Korean Near Me - Hanover, Maryland

I decided to go to the newly opened Bonchon and have some chicken. I think it is a good location except for the slightly crowded parking lot. The atmosphere of the restaurant was not bad. But I could see trashes all over the floor. The table I was sitting on left there with chicken sauce and an unrecognizable stirrer. Me and my friend ordered Pork bun first. And the main dish was Combo small chicken, flavor was half and half which was soy and spicy. There were three pork buns, which contained pork, cucumber, and vegetables in a palm-sized bread dough. Vegetable texture, sweet pork and bread dough were so delicious. The big pork pieces are really tasty and smooth. I had a chopped radish pickle with chicken. Chicken was divided into two flavors, hot and soy sauce. The fried chicken was not good. You can find the fried trace right away. Chicken is too dry. But the inside of the chicken was well cooked.The taste of soy sauce is delicious with typical taste of Bonchon. The spicy taste can be a little tangled with the average person. If Bonchon has different type of spicy that we can choose, that would be better. It was enough to eat two meals and the price was not bad either. $ 9.95 for Pork bun and $ 11.95 for small Combo. We had a good time. read more

Horrible experience. Thought it was a fluke so I tried again, even worse the second time. Having said that, the food is still good; however, you gotta be willing to wait a MINIMUM of 20 minutes to get anything. Friend waited for his bowl of rice for 20 minutes when everyone else got their food. Got the check, took another 20 minutes for her to take our card....and then she used the wrong cards for the wrong checks. Really? Literally spent two hours here on what should have been a 30-45 minute meal. The level of incompetence of the waitstaff and service was comically bad. I've been a waiter and bus boy, I know when you're slammed it can be difficult and I was trying to be as accommodating as possible, but literally walked out of this place so pissed off because of how bad it was. I literally asked for chopsticks, and the waitress brought...CUPS...4 EMPTY CUPS.....really? You're better off driving up to ellicott city, trust me trust me trust me. I don't trust the ownership or management of this place. Bonchon, you're ruining your delicious and good image with this place. read more

This is my first time to this Bonchon. Great chicken! The wings are JUMBO (they have a new supplier and on a rare occasion you happen to get a small wing, they'll make it up with an additional wing). Service is awesome - everyone is so efficient, polite, professional and friendly (especially our server Bang!). The facility is clean, nice music and good vibe overall. Saw some bad reviews, attributed to typical rocky start of a new restaurant, but owners Hai and Sang have addressed those issues and the place is running great now. read more

Well hate to rate a place so low but the service was that bad. The food here has always been fantastic. 1 other table in the whole restaurant and it took 42 minutes to complete a ToGo order. That dont fly in my book. Ill be driving the extra mile and going elsewhere in the future. read more

Bonchon is hands down my favorite Korean fried chicken spot. My boyfriend and I frequent here often and we always order the half soy garlic and half spicy wings with a side of white rice. Today we ordered Takoyaki (fried octopus dumplings) and steamed shrimp shumai (shrimp dumpling drizzled with honey) along with our usual and we were pleasantly satisfied. The chicken was brilliantly crispy and flavorful. And our dumplings were to die for. The service was quick friendly and knowledgeable. We will continue to come back to this modern gem. read more

The good; food was fresh, tasty and the staff was polite. The bad; they decided to try out phone ordering on the day we went for lunch and we ended up waiting for over an hour for our food as they were busy filling giant take out orders at the cost of their dine in guests. Wouldn't go back until they have their process figured out. read more

I have been to three different Bonchon resteraunts this location does not measure up to the others especially the Catonsville location - we ordered the spicy chicken and seafood rice - Not only was it not spicy it didn't have any flavor and taste as if it were frozen. The rice was just bland. read more

I have always gone to the ellicott city location for bonchon but was happy to see one being built close nearby. Unfortunately, every time we have gone to the Hanover location the fried chicken is overfried, hard, and just a real b**** to chew. I really wonder who they got back there frying the chicken. Also, the strips we get at the ellicott city location are twice the size of the ones here. Sometimes we get nugget sized ass chicken strips that they will still use the count. Issa real shame smh read more

This place gets two stars for the two jars of water provided, and the decor. Interior: This place is very clean. The decor is very hip and the ambience is cool. If I had to choose to change something it would be the small metal chairs. They're not very comfortable. Overall 3 Stars. Service: Here is were points get taken off. First, when My husband and I walked into the restaurant, the hostess was inattentive. We waited for about 10 minutes for her to realize we were waiting to be seated, I even tried to catch her attention (because I was only standing right in front of her station). After watching her fiddle with her fingers or whatever, we decided to seat ourselves. (-1 Star) Our server came right over so things are starting to look up right? Umm no it gets better. To make a long story short. He was not knowledgeable of the food. He didn't tell us there was an extra charge for more sauce. Our water glasses were empty until it was time to pay. We had to beg for napkins. The owner/manager helps bring food out but if you need a fork or napkin he'll tell you to wait for your server. The whole experience was bad. Except for the girl who was exceptionally nice as we walked out the door. Over all 0 Stars Food: We order the Calamari - processed not fresh at all, tasted like onion rings. Bibimbap - More like BibimDry, crunchy Rice, unseasoned seafood and mushrooms. The best part of the dish was the spinach which was a fork full. Popcorn Chicken - Nothing special Octopus Fried Dumpling - very interesting taste will never order that again. And probably won't go back either. Overall disappointed read more

This was actually one of my favorite places to eat before I go to work and today was my ending I order the bibimpap which is absolutely my favorite meal I even add an extra egg worth paying over $19 today I didn't get an egg or the extra was very disappointing I ask the manager can I get an reorder he's like no but I can refund you for the extra egg mind you I didn't get an egg that was already supposed to be on, he was very unprofessional now I feel like I wasted $19 on nothing and now they just lost an customer read more

The worst BonChon I've ever had!!!! The chicken was burnt to a crisp with no flavor and the Bibimbap was horrible!!! Little vegetables and beef and too much rice!!! And...not enough sauce. When I asked for extra...they charged me!!! Overall...I can't believe that they would serve food this bad to their customers!!! This place is a waste of money!!! read more

I had the most horrible experience at your Hanover location today. I have been eating at Bonchon for over a year at multiple locations and this experience has truly been the worst ever. The answer from the server was no, no, no, to every request made of him. We requested additional sauce for Bibimbap and was told they do not provide sauces on the side. We had to send back the cole slaw that was served with the chicken because it was very dry and had no flavor. Also sent back the Bibimbap which had no flavor, only heat from the added sauce ;it was flavorless. We were not provided with wet naps before or after eating the soy garlic wings. We ordered unsweetened tea only to be told they did not have any artificial sweetener. Our server was wearing a pair of pants the had a rip across the front of the pants that exposed his undergarments. Thats not fashionable when you are supposed to be hosting or serving customers. The attitude from the server was that our service was not needed and made us feel extremely unwelcome. We left he establishment very dissatisfied. After everything was said and done, we decided to stop next-door at potbelly to get some food because we were sorely disappointed and still hungry from our $20 experience at BonChon. Lastly, i've eaten at several other BonChon in the Washington DC metro area and have never experienced one like this one. The service, the experience, the drab attitude of the server, and everything else, made this one that may ruin my return to any of them read more

We came back on Valentine's Day early and saw it wasn't busy and we were pleased. Unfortunately, when we walked in we had to wait to get seated and saw several dirty tables. They were not busy at all. Staff looked displeased (maybe because they were working on V Day?). Usual staff wasn't there. Service was slow and a table with coats and dishes sat the whole time at the back probably for the staff to be able to sit at? The food was delicious as usual (my kids fought over the leftovers) but if we try to pop in again we will make sure it is the regular staff. Couldn't believe I saw dirty dishes sitting at the bar untouched for 40 minutes. Sad story Bonchon. We finally decided to try it out. A friend said the food was good. Wow. The spicy chicken is so hot but as it is burning your mouth all you can think about is how good it tastes. We have been back a few times and it is consistently good. Our 8 year old asked for another portion of the pot stickers. Due to the delicious food and good service we will be read more
