The customer service at this location was excellent! The employees were extremely friendly and walked me through ordering. The smallest order or wings were than enough and had a perfect crunchy texture. The pickled radish is the perfect foil for the fried chicken. Definitely worth trying out in an age where customer service is lacking at many other businesses in the area. read more

Delicious as always! We got the boneless wings, since we like them better than the regular wings! So crispy, hot, and flavorful! For sides we got the regular fries and potstickers . We only waited for about 10 minutes, pleasant atmosphere. I love coming to Bonchon with my friends read more

****2/4/2020**** 3.5 stars Full disclosure, I'm not a fan of chicken but l was told it can be described in three words: flavorful, juicy and crispy. I had kimchi. The kimchi is a mild version. It was okay but l prefer spicy. The one thing l did notice is the kimchi container was only halfway full which is weird since it was a very small container. This was an order for take out. read more

I spent 30 bucks for pure garbage.I hadn't had BonChon in a few years and was looking forward to the good food I remembered...Not this time...The wings were dry with very little (and I do mean little) sauce on them.One of the wings were so burnt it was inedible. The fries were soggy and cold and despite having "seasoning" on them they were very bland.The octopus balls were great though.No utensils were given either and the guy almost gave me the wrong order. read more

This place is awesome. They have a lunch special where you can get two wings and two drumsticks with a side for $8.50. If you can't decide if you want spicy or sweet you can get half and half. They have easy parking in the lot outside and the restaurant has plenty of tables and chairs. We were seated quickly and the service is good. The food takes sometime to come, maybe 20 or so minutes but when it comes out it is sizzling hot and fresh. They also have a wide variety of drinks and they serve alcohol. I think they even have like sweet tea. I think what drives the success of their food is the simplicity in their menu. If you're not feeling the idea of fried chicken they have other Korean food options like bibimbap too. It was my sisters first time coming and she said she will definitely be back. Me too!! read more

Bonchon Hanover - Bonchon chicken! - Korean Near Me - Hanover, Maryland

The BonChon in Canton closed, and the one in Columbia is out of the way. Luckily, this one serves as a fine replacement. I got a ten piece and a side of rice. I love getting the ten piece because I always have a second meal and it isn't very expensive. This location is small, but cozy, compared to others I have been to. Service was as fast as expected and the food was just as delicious as I remember it. Nothing to complain about. All in all, a decent BonChon experience. Definitely will return to scratch my BonChon itch. read more

I ordered carryout. The wings tasted alright, but there must be a shortage because the wings I received were much, much smaller than Bonchon's typical wings. Absolutely not worth the $14 I paid for them. I was a little disappointed. They're making a killing with these things lol Service was great though. And they're so good, I'll be back, just not to this location for a while. read more

A fairly new Bonchon (about a year?) located right by Arundel Mills. My friends and I came here this past Tuesday night around 8pm (one hour before closing)--the restaurant was pretty empty, maybe 2-3 guests total. Our server was really sweet--she was very friendly and attentive, checking up on us throughout the night. We were a pretty loud bunch (thanks for putting up with us!) which didn't seem to bother her at all. There is NO alcohol!!! I'm not sure why this listing and some reviews say that there is a full bar, because there definitely was not. Non-alcoholic drinks only. The server said they didn't have their liquor license yet. Boo. This is a pretty important factor when choosing a place to eat for many people! Food-wise was great--Bonchon has always had yummy wings. We got half soy, half spicy. I prefer the spicy more, but man, it is really spicy, so be prepared! Pork buns were okay too. No complaints on the food. One major complaint--as the time got closer to closing time, the temperature in the restaurant declined fast--it was freezing! Did they turn off their heat? Well, that's what it felt like. read more

We had a large order of wings (200 to be exact) for an upcoming party. We called the store and spoke with Bri and asked her what needed to be done to make sure that we could not just place but receive them at the time we needed. Bri made some suggestions and while talking to her we went ahead and placed our order, gave the time we wanted to pick them up at and paid for them. The day of the party we called a couple of hours before and confirmed which Bri assured us that they would be ready. We arrived at the store a little early however Bri let us know that they had not started cooking them yet as it was prior to the pick up time. So we took a seat in the bar area and just waited. As promised at the pick up time, we had 200 wings in two large containers waiting to go home with us. One of the employees even helped me get them to my car. All of our guest LOVED the wings (the question asked was who cooked the wings?!) and we were pleased by the flavor. Overall had a great experience and will be coming here again! read more

Horrible! Probably the worst food I've had in a while. The fried rice had no taste. Tasted like pure water. The chicken was so BIG I was afraid to eat it. Made my stomach hurt minutes after eating. Don't eat here! Please save your money. read more

There nothing like going too a food establishment that has all the ingredients you want but not being able to get them. Boils my blood. I will never understand why I can't get popcorn shrimp tossed in their signature spicy sauce. Is there a real reason or do they just commiserate in my pain? My husband loves the chicken at BonChon. Typically at least. He said this meal was extremely lackluster and was thoroughly disappointed. Some chicken wasn't coated at all. It was dry too. Not returning. read more

They have great fried chicken which can become addictive! They have good fried rice but to little food for how much they charge! But still good food! read more

Korean Fried Chicken is delicious. Bon Chon's Korean Fried chicken of ELLICOTT CITY is also delicious..... So much so that I have been fully S T A L K I N G the opening of this Hanover / Arundel Mills location for OVER A YEAR!!!! I waited ever so patiently for a few months AFTER their soft opening to pursue some Signature Soy Garlic and Spicy KoChix wings... Or so I thought... What I was ever so patiently waiting for was massive disappointment.... Literally one of THEE ACTUAL MOST DISAPPOINTING meals of my ENTIRE life. I was looking so forward to the saucy, hot, perfectly crunchy, fried, bliss I've become accustomed to hitting my lips out of that red and white box. What I experienced was room temperature, DRY, HARD, OVER COOKED, UNDERSAUCED, FLAVORLESS, TINY, DRY, disappointment :( and after a 45 minute wait. EXTREMELY Long wait, terrible disorganized service, dreadful execution of the BonChon signature sauce on the tiniest driest chicken MORSELS (can't call that wings) ever. Epic fail for the BonChon name, Uber waste of a diet cheat day. read more

This place never disappoints. In fact, I have to go to this place every time I come back to Columbia, MD. The chicken is always great, and the price is reasonable. And they do give you tons of food. BTW, I have not tried their other food, and so, I can speak to the taste or the quality of them. However, if you just came for the chicken, this place is da bomb. read more

Chicken is ALWAYS amazing. Service SUCKED. I must've heard "unfortunately" more times in 20 mins than I've heard all year.

Great wings. Love it. Pricey but worth the price. Staff was eating and serving customer at the same time. A little nasty. read more

Good fun place to eat a different fast food meal in a hip environment. The food is tasty and non-traditional Korean fare. The chicken is a must of course and sauces and spices are delicious. Get the hot but not the hottest variety. A little pricey for minimum decor but it's a fast food joint. I'll go back when the others in my party insist on having it. read more

After what seemed like an eternity and the removal of the coming soon sign, BonChon actually had a soft opening today. We had a sleeping baby and decided to-go would be easiest. We asked if we could order for take out but they said no, we'd have to sit down, and they'd then bring a box to our table so we could box it up then go. Where does that make any sense? We were very confused as to why we couldn't order and wait. Eventually she let us and told us to come back in 20. That wasn't so hard was it? So we order the 10 piece soy garlic strips. We come back and are brought to the bar where we had to box it up ourselves. The hostess tells us she isn't allowed to box it up.. The strips themselves are pretty good, however some pieces are tougher than others. They're crunchy, they're flavorful, but they could have been more generous with the sauce. The inside looks cozy and the location is much more convenient compared to the Ellicot store. We'll come back in a few weeks/months after they get a smoother system going. read more

Of course the wings here are bomb! Definitely get the biggest order cuz they are great to eat after you are home and snuggled in the bed with pjs on. Bulgolgi fried rice was really good before you changed the recipe, change it back! Jake n kev read more

This location does not compare to the Ellicott City Bonchon AT ALL. Ordered for delivery and apparently this location is closer then EC. Wish I would have just done pick up at EC. I've never seen the strips look like this and I've been eating at Bonchon for YEARS. These look like fast food chicken tenders, barely tossed in soy garlic sauce. Extremely disappointed. read more

Bonchon Hanover - Where's the sauce??? - Korean Near Me - Hanover, Maryland

This was a suggestion of my GF's and I can't say I was disappointed. I'm a sucker for pot stickers and Bon Chon's are delicious. We got two orders of wings, garlic flavored, and spicy, and two orders of the pot stickers and everything was good. I loved how hard they fried the chicken, and the flavor of the sauces, although, I must admit, the spicy had me gasping for air at times. Service was pretty good, nothing special but nothing bad. I would definitely return again. read more

I hate to admit it, but I honestly wasn't impressed by their boneless wings. They only had two sauces to choose from: spicy and soy garlic (or plain). I got plain and soy garlic, and my partner got the spicy ones. Now, this wasn't an ordinary spicy or mild - this was HOT LAVA level spicy. I tried a bite and nearly choked, and downed a full glass of water. My partner could hardly eat them! We knew it would be spicy but there's absolutely no "level" or label to the spice - so you get what you get. I think he even had to RINSE THE WINGS OFF with water! And he LIKES spicy! I also just wasn't impressed with the quality of the wings. They were pretty flat, and I expected them to be more...fluffy? And Crispy? It just wasn't good, as in it wasn't tasty. The plain ones, I expected them to be salty and crisp and they just tasted so...bland and tasteless almost. The soy garlic ones were honestly just okay. I probably won't order from there again. Also it was expensive. And they gave me a can of soda instead of fountain or bottle - which instantly makes me mad lol because they charge like $2.50! I did not expect a can... yeah not coming back... :( read more

I ordered the Spicy Chicken Bibibamp and the food was served completely cold and insipid. Like this food had been frozen or made a couple days old. After 2 bites I new this was terrible, i have been many times in their Arlington Branch and the food their is alway fresh and delicious, NOT HERE. read more

The food service was really good we ordered take out but there was hair on my wings and i didn't notice til I ate my second wing so I'm disappointed :/ Manager - hi ! I ordered this 12:30 on July 17th ! It was under the order Nikki I didn't know how to message on here so I just added it to the review read more

We've been frequenting this Bonchon ever since it opened, as well as the Ellicott City location. The chicken has always been flavorful and plentiful, with large tenders, wings, and drumsticks. We were pretty disappointed with their mukbang deal today, which contains 15 wings, 15 tenders, and 15 boneless wings, plus 3 sides. Once we got home and opened the boxes, it was immediately apparent that all of the chicken was significantly smaller than we've received at any Bonchon location. The tenders and were at least a third smaller than normal, and the boneless wings were small and flat, similar to Chicken McNuggets. The wings and drumsticks were even smaller, at about half their previous size. Flavor-wise, they were still as good as they normally are. I'm not sure if this issue is limited to this location, or if the chicken has been changed at all locations, which would've been a Bonchon corporate decision. We have other KFC locations nearby, some of which are pretty good. We'll probably just stick with those in the future. read more

Ordered Korean tacos and only two pieces of beef on each taco. Don't recommend eating there

So delicious I love korean chicken. I recommend half soy/ half spicy. Very crispy I love it read more

Tried Bonchon last week for the first time. Got the bulgogi, which was excellent, and an order of chicken strips with the Korean BBQ sauce. Yum! Order came with a side, I chose the pickled radish, which was delicious. Surprised kimchee was not an option for a side. Order was packaged up nicely for takeout, and they do have a small seating area for dine-in. Service was good, too. read more

Customer service is decent The food quality is below average for a Korean Fried Chicken. As it is a big franchise quality control is going to be a lot lower. Still not a bad place to get some fried chicken. I would recommend the Soy Garlic Chicken read more

As for most Bonchon places it takes awhile to get your chicken since preparing this type of chicken can take some time. The flavors were on point and the crispness wasn't too bad either for takeout. The only reason I didn't give it a 4 star rating is because the radish sides could have been a little better, they seemed a little unevenly chopped. Don't get me wrong they tasted great with the chicken, it just wasn't eye appealing. read more

Stinky bibimbap We were excited to order two bibimbap bowls, but unfortunately the smell when you first opened the lids on both was terrible. The taste was not good either. Not sure what was spoiled in the meal but we will not be returning. read more

Really friendly organization. The food was hot very flavorful and came out in less than 15 minutes. I have to say they have good wings and good Korean food at a reasonable price. Give it a shot read more

Bonchon chain in general is delicious! However at this one they recently changed their food vendor and the food doesn't taste the same as the other Bonchons... including their famous chicken. I really really wanted to like it more but overall it fell short... we did have the same experience a few weeks ago and wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt that it was an off day. We got the pork bun sliders and they came out cold and hard :( making them difficult to eat. The fried rice and bibimbap was tasty but didn't make up for the chickens new flavor or the sliders. read more

The chicken wings are the main reason to come here. We always get a half and half. Spicy for my hubby and soy garlic for me. We may share a wing from the other side, but we have our favorite! We tried the octopus appetizer this time and it was just ok. A bit too doughy for my taste. Try asking for a side of spicy mayo as a dipping sauce for the chicken. read more

I've been to bonchon many times but only the Ellicott City location. Ellicott City is closer to my house so I always go there but this location is close to my work. I came here immediately after work and let me tell you it was amazing! I came around 5 on Thursday and luckily it was happy hour. Their happy hour times are 3-6 on weekdays and prices are regular draft for $2.75, season draft for $3.75, and bottled beer for $3.25. I was waiting for a couple of friends and if you know about bonchon, it takes a while to get the food. I ordered a medium combo which is 10 wings and 5 drumsticks for $23.95. It came out within 10 minutes. I repeat, 10 minutes!!!! The wings were great. If you don't know, they are double fried. And delicious. Warning, if you like really spicy food, then order spicy. Their spicy wings are super spicy so be careful when you're ordering! If you love wings, you should definitely come here!! read more

Food was awesome!! Just discovered this place. The first time we were there, they were training a new cashier. He accidentally put in wings instead of strips. We called in and they offered immediately to remedy it for us. They did that today with smiles. I'll go here again for sure. It is much smaller than Columbia but still nice. read more

*edit: this place doesn't even care about the product. *friday day after thxgiving Sucks anytime I feel compelled to give a bad review. But since I'm a bon chon fan maybe this type of review can give this branch a kick in the arse. Is this an example of a franchisee mucking up a nice brand? I'm not sure but when bon chon first came on the scene they were consistently good. Now not so much and this branch might be the worst one so far. I've ordered twice from here and both times something was bad. Be it super dry wings one time or the burnt meat in the buns. They need to shape up or they'll be out of business. I'll give them one more shot and if they much up again I'm taking this review down to 1 star. read more

I ordered Bonchon through a third party delivery but everything came as fresh and correct as I had ordered . I lived in Asia for about 6 years so I would say I have a good eye for Asian cuisine First off , I see some reviews where it says they use MSG , I think people should research MSG because there's no scientific proof of side effects of MSG . The myth stemmed from a Doctor who overate Chinese food and published an article about it , a few newspapers ran with the story . You can over eat most high fat foods and will have a " food coma " end result . You can't rule out anything else you ate , drank or did that day . Making a statement as " I felt so bad there must have been MSG in that food " is a very serious allegation . It's extremely unfair to a business , especially a food business where some people will shy away in fear of being " poisoned " by an establishment . Also , it's argued that it's not " authentic " well .... the product was fresh and flavorful , just understand that it's never going to compare to what you are accustomed to aka " nothing is as good as your Mother's cooking " The Salmon ball was cooked perfectly .Fried chicken was cooked well , juicy and flavorful . Good price point . Overall it was a great meal for my co worker and I after a long flight . We weren't disappointed . I can't wait to return to MD again and enjoy it again read more

I've always enjoyed Bonchon and this branch didn't disappoint. I introduced it to my friend and he had it for the first time. We both enjoyed the medium combo wings + drumsticks (spicy and crunch mix). If you can't handle spicy food, I wouldn't recommend the spicy flavor. Also got the potstickers - veggie one. All good! though they were a little too fried/tough for me but edible.I'd come back again for the other stuff and especially if I'm craving korean fusion. We did get it togo since the restaurant isn't for dine in yet and the wait wasn't that bad. I'd post a picture but the food is gone! read more

These guys went ABOVE and BEYOND! My cousin got married a few days ago and family from around the country and world were in town. The wedding was busy and did not get to hang out and catch up privately on a smaller group scale. We all love Bonchon and we ended up having a group of 14 people! When originally is was supposed to be 6. They were sooo accommodating. I walked in and asked for a table of 11. They did hesitate and said come back in 30 min. Which is not bad for a quick lunch place. Came back in 20min and the whole section was arranged for us to sit. Most of the party ended up being late. But they were super patient with us. We ordered apps in the mean time. The waiter was really patient with us. We also had family who were not familiar with the menu and the English language. Again. Super patient with us. We ordered and ate and hung around a little longer. The manager heard that the couple just got married. She gave them free mochi ice cream and was really sweet about it. Again. They went above and beyond. I bet they never had 14 people before. The food was quality. The spicy chicken Js actually SPICY. Always quality food. This place stands out among all the other places due to the service. read more
