Wish I had read the other reviews before placing my DoorDash order. Doing business this way will only make you be forced to close like the west broad location. Crappy franchise who can't afford the increased price of their own inventory. read more

I have to say, their chicken katsu, pork buns, and dumplings at Bonchon are fantastic. It's a great place for a flavorful meal with a casual dining experience. If you're in the mood for some good food, it's definitely worth checking out. Everything was great including all the staff and owner! read more

Place is really nice ! Small parking available. The workers were really nice as well. I did however ordered takoyaki and they were out but it wasn't until after I sat for 25 minutes to find out. But the server did offer to sub it out for something else which is fine. I would say to call in the food first do not order when you get there. I tried to but my call wasn't answered. But the food in the end was good and fresh and I appreciate it. Will give another shot hope to see you there! read more

I was excoted to find Bonchon because I hadn't visited one in a while. When I walked in there were two people at the bar talking. I believe they already had their order. I waited quite a few minutes before someone came from the back to assist me. After I placed my order it seemed to be another long wait. With that said, I would recommend calling ahead as seemed to be the case with some oreders that were bagged and waiting for pickup. I ordered the 10 count (dinner) spicy soy wings, kimchi, and radishes. The chicken was good and spicy. I would have liked a smaller portion since I was the only one eating them. The smaller portion is only available for lunch. The kimchi was pretty good. It too was spicy. The radishes were disappointing. They did not taste pickled at all. I would visit again to try some of tgeir other items like the korean tacos. read more

How to get the biggest bang for your buck.... come here for happy hour! You can sit at the bar and get $1 chicken strips which is a way better deal than a pack of 10! Who can eat 10 chicken strips! Way too much food but for a dollar 4 strips is a perfect size and then you can get a side of your choice for a discounted rate. This is the way to go if you want chicken!!!!! I find there is a difference in the quality and the experience with some of the dishes when you get them to go. The Japchae is delicious when you have it at the restaurant it comes with a great broth and it's a good portion. I got it to go and it was in a small to go container and no room for that amazing broth to make it with the noodles. It was very disappointing. I still gave them four stars, but they need to work on the take out quality. My advice go for happy hour best bang for your buck! read more

Long story short; Just go to the West Broad location. We've eaten at this location before but decided to give it a second chance. First impression was that the place was entirely empty at 11:30 AM on a Sunday. The one on West Broad always has customers. Not exactly a great sign, but whatever. It was Super Bowl Sunday so we chalked it up to that. We sat ourselves and noticed the partition separating the tables was disgusting. Finger prints and smudges everywhere. On top of that, they had just taped up flyers for "Super Bowl III" (??? Is it 1969?) and no one noticed how gross the partitions were. A little weird. What else is that dirty? But not a dealbreaker. We order our drinks and food, no sweet tea is available at that time. Water will do. In my opinion, the takoyaki is the best app (plus I looove takoyaki). It came out room temperature, almost cold. Takoyaki is supposed to come out blazing, molten hot. We decided to think positively, "Maybe they got complaints about it being too hot and let it sit for a little while?" But why not just tell the table that their food is really really hot? The takoyaki were good, just disappointing. Next, fries came out. At least those were perfect (def recommend those). Then wings came out. I had asked for no sauce on mine (Korean fried chicken is about being crispy, not necessarily the sauce). I realized a little late that sometimes Korean fried chicken needs salt (none on the tables) so we waited for the waiter to come by. It took awhile and my boyfriend had to go find him but we got the salt. I was expecting a salt grinder or a little pinch bowl. But I was given ... a little snowman salt shaker...? ...... .... Moving on.... I have no clue what happened to the radish (we love radish bonchon!). It's like it was just soaked in water, a tiny bit of vinegar and absolutely no salt or sugar. It didn't have any flavor at all. I suppose all the salt they had was being conserved in this tiny snowman. Lastly, we paid and asked to split the bill in half and pay with cards. We got our individual bills and noticed the tip guide at the bottom of the bill wasn't cut in half. Had we not been paying attention, we would've tipped 40% on a lackluster meal. I'm not sure if they're aware their bills aren't cutting the tip% in half for split checks but it definitely comes across a little shady. So if you're looking for sauced chicken wings (but only TWO kinds of sauce...) and fries, this place is pretty good. But there are dozens of American wing places nearby that do it a little better. Why advertise being an Asian themed wing place when all the Asian dishes are awful? Their name is Bonchon, which literally means "Korean side dish" and they screwed up our Korean side dish. You might eat here and think, "Wow, Bonchon as a whole sucks" BUT the one on West Broad knocks everything on their menu out of the park. There's a HUGE difference between the quality of that location and this one. The West Broad location's food is great and the staff is attentive and friendly. So basically, nothing huge went wrong here but a lot of weird/disappointing small things happened. Definitely won't be coming back. I'd rather drive an extra 30 minutes for good Korean chicken or just go somewhere else. read more

Their Korean wings are the best!! And the only place so far that Uber really enjoyed their takoyaki. I'm sad that they closed one of their locations read more

I have eaten any many other Bonchon locations before, this is the first time I ordered from this location. The drumsticks and wings are so tiny, they are even smaller than Buffalo Wild Wings. I didn't get any side dishes like usually. No pickled radish or coleslaw. I would recommend other locations over this location read more

Bonchon Midlothian - Drumsticks are so small - Chicken Wings Near Me - Midlothian, Virginia

Order was horrible- there was little sauce on the drums, the smallest order of fries I have ever received at Bonchon, didn't include the fry sauce and the pot stickers were burnt. Very disappointed, Mechanicsville bonchon slays every time. Midlothian is mid. read more

First time visiting Bon Chon in Richmond. Everything was delicious. The menu has been updated and they added a new chicken wing flavor. I ordered wings half soy garlic and sweet crunch. I must say soy garlic is my favorite! I also had the house chicken fried rice and my fiancé had the bulgogi Korean tacos. I love the flavor of the food and the batter used to fry the chicken wings Jessee was our waiter this evening. He has great customer service. He was really friendly and He gave us some suggestions and opinions on foods we have not tried before. I will definitely be back to this location again! read more

The food is good but it is expensive and the quality is inconsistent. They won't give extra sauce although sometimes there is little to no sauce on the wings by the time you get it home it's dried out. Can't heat it up because it'll burn. So frustrating although there have been times when it's done well that it's worth the high prices read more

Always have a great experience here with awesome service and tasty cuisine. Love going here for food and drinks!

The absolute Best Wings out there. The Korean Beef is outstanding as well. Great atmosphere inside the Midlothian location. Relaxing and quiet to just sit and enjoy peace alone or with others.

Me and my family was there and the service was great my daughter really loved the fried rice I never had Korean Fried Chicken so I did not know what to expect but it was cooked perfect and crispy read more

Like the food very much the fried chicken was juicy, the fried rice was seasoned very well and the podstickers were great....

Got this to go yesterday. The chicken strips were amazing. We had just missed lunch but they do have a lunch menu to 3pm. Kimchi was okay, something was missing or off though. The bulgogi was fine but needed some sauce. Will definitely get the chicken again. Got half spicy and half ginger soy. Both flavors were amazing. I eat a lot of spicy food so the spicy sauce was perfect for me with flavor; my husband couldn't handle one bite so I would not recommend it if you do not like spicy food. read more

Not only is the food AMAZING, but the staff and atmosphere is very inviting. My daughter requests the Potstickers at least twice a month, and their wings and bulgogi are top notch. My daughters request these wings at every function! read more

Ok so I loooove the fried chicken here but I give it 3/5 because everything else is meh. The pork bun slider I've had at another bonchon location in DC and usually love but here the skin on the pork belly was tough - not crispy, and the bun was a little dried out. And I had the bibimbap it was ok. Their kimchi is kind of terrible but the rest was edible but nothing special. I might go back for fried chicken but I don't recommend anything else. read more

Unfortunately, my wife and mother did not have a good experience at Bonchon yesterday evening. So much so, that they removed themselves before receiving their food. Although this is atypical of our experiences there, the service was poor nonetheless. My wife and I are regular patrons. However, it was my mother's first visit. She looked forward to eating there, because we have expressed our overall enjoyment with each visit. In addition, by way of recommendation, our friends have eaten there and share our sentiment. The aforementioned are why their experience yesterday was both unexpected and disappointing. After their order was taken and drinks served, they were essentially ignored from that point on by their server. We understand that it was a holiday and busy at times, but my wife and mother observed other tables with larger parties who arrived and ordered after them, receive their orders first and drinks refilled regularly. This was not isolated to one table group. They noticed it again with another table and the same server. My wife asked another server about their order. The other server did not see their server and went to the kitchen to check. My wife was told it would be a little longer. Unfortunately, they had already been there for some time. After explaining everything to the second server, they informed her that they decided to leave. As stated above, their experience was out of the norm, but it happened. Our meals have always been enjoyable with good service. We will try again either for lunch or dinner. Mom is looking forward to the cuisine. I am confident the service will be as expected. read more

I checked out Bonchon (Koreanish) for the first time on Friday for lunch. I'd like to note that it snowed in Richmond and they were shorthanded. The restaurant is nicer looking than I expected and even had a snazzy looking bar. We sat ourselves and it took about 15 minutes for a server to take our order (felt like forever). We had plenty of time to review the menu. Upon reading, I recollected dishes that I enjoyed the year I spent in Korea so long ago. There were some dishes I wanted to try but wanted to hear our server Barbara's recommendation. Her favorite dishes were the Korean Tacos, and the chicken wings. I asked about the Bull Dak, kodoma. She mentioned that they were very spicy and wasn't a fan of spicy. Once she showed me a lunch menu and I went with the BiBimbap with dealers choice meat (spicy chicken). My other choices on the lunch menu were the chicken wings or a wrap for $9.99. Since I checked in on my handy dandy Yelp app I got a few samples of their chicken drums and sauce. After 35 minutes the chicken wings came out (2 spicy, 1 mild). They were good but I can't agree with best in America. The BiBimbap was a collection of rice and vegetables in clay bowl. Love the appearance.. I expected the egg to veggie ration to be higher. I stirred up the mushrooms, onions, red peppers, cucumbers, egg and seaweed slices and dug in.. it was meh..so I added the Red pepper sesame sauce. Better, but still not good. Our server mentioned that some people add 4 of those sauce containers. This gave me the courage to add two more. Now it was flavorful...! I liked how the rice was slightly crispy.. The immediate parking lot is small and limited but take short walk over to the Bed, Bath and Beyond lot and they will likely have open spots. Considering the long wait to order and food to come out, we had a good experience. The food was good but not great. I will be back ti try more dishes. The server was very informative and attentive. I recommend that they vary the lunch menu to offer more authentic Korean dish to try at lunch price. read more

The only reason why this place gets a star because it's BONCHON. Unfortunately, this franchise is definitely not at par with other BONCHONS. I ordered the wings and theirs are the smallest wings I've seen. The soy garlic brush are not as generous as the other Bonchon store we've been to (West Broast, Ashland, Norfolk, Potomac Mills are just some of the bonchons we've been to). Our family had to take out the food because we were so pissed by the owner. I tell you, if you have kids don't bring them in this location. What really pissed us of is the way he talks to us as if we are not customers. So if you are looking for good customer service, THIS IS NOT THE PLACE. Real bonchon chicken? Go to W.Broad location. Sucks that we are about to move to Chesterfield which makes the W. Broad location very far from us. However we would not mind the drive just to get the BEST Bonchon and customer service. Never going back to Bonchon-Midlothian. read more

I placed an order for pickup on my way home at my expected arrival time at the restaurant. I get a text 20 minutes early that my order is ready. When I get to the restaurant I go in to pickup my order which has been sitting on the bar for 20 minutes. They say do you want them to remake the order? Since it's now probably cold I say yes. 5 minutes later they come out with my remade order. It takes 8-10 minutes to fry wings! So obviously just reheated! First time and last time there! read more

I would rate a 4 , but I got 4 Pork Belly Sliders and Pork Belly should be around 30% Fat, one was 100% fat and the other 3 were roughly 60% fat.

The Chicken wings and Drums were pretty good. Chicken Drums. read more

This is a $50 order.... The location in Centreville is much better. The portions here are tiny and for the price?! In this economy?! $8 for 7 onion rings...come on. This tiny bit of rice...no way.

Ehh. I cannot find what people seem to like about this place. It's okay... a C overall for menu and atmosphere. Maybe I'm missing something.

I will literally kill for their tacos. They are amazing and I will eat their entire supply. If there was a purge, I'd just steal all the tacos, hide at home, and eat the tacos. read more

The best chicken I've had. Great door girl. I would recommend turning on house music or volume on TVs. It's so quite you can hear the air conditioning running. Also it's a tad bit dark inside. I would brighten it up with pulling the shades up or adding over head lights read more

Today was the first time my wife and I ordered from Bonchon. My brother in law recommended this place as it is one of his favorite places to eat in DC. When placing the order online the online site was very finicky when it came to inputting credit card information. When we went to pick up our family sized order the lady delivered only half our our order. Thank god we checked that we were missing 36 wings. Instead of admitting to it, they swapped out another order's 36 wings and gave us old and cold wings. I cannot recommend this location at all. If you are a Bonchon fan, it may be worthwhile going to Broad at i getting your fix. read more

I ordered from this location because the West Broad one was closed on Tuesday when I craving some wings. I ordered 10 soy garlic wings to pick-up. When I picked up my order, I only had 8 wings in the box and they were tiny compared to what I usually get from the other location. Not only that, but they lacked a lot of flavor and salt. I was not pleased with the quality and would suggest going to other locations. read more

This is my story. I've been to bonchon in richmond, broad and Midlothian several times and enjoy the chicken wings, drumsticks and strips. I went there last week and ordered strips for take out. I got home, opened them and they were tiny, soggy junk!! I contacted the bonchon website and they confirmed with photos that I was ripped off, but since it's a franchise, they've got nothing. So, I only lost ten bux but I don't want anyone else to get ripped off or them to keep ripping people off. I assume if they are serving 1/4 sized portions now that are soggy and mealy that there could be other things wrong. So, in short, give bonchon broad a chance , but steer clear of bonchon Midlothian. It's not worth it. Sorry to say. read more

I must be the only guy who didn't come here for the chicken wings. For those who don't know, bonchon (or banchan, as I know it) are the side dishes that accompany a good Korean BBQ. Since I love Korean food, I figured I'd go here and give it a try. I was somewhat disappointed to see lots of chicken wing kinda stuff, and very little actual Korean food. Still, I figured I'd give it a go and see what they could do with the bibimbap. Turns out that my amigo and I were the only ones actually eating Korean food in the place - everybody else was chowing down on chicken wings or chicken drumsticks or some form of chicken fried up and dipped in a sauce. But still, the bibimbap: It was good. Surprisingly good. They do it up right in a smoking hot stone bowl, with a raw egg on top waiting to be mixed in and cooked. Great flavors. I got mine with bulgogi. It comes with a red pepper sauce that I used liberally. I had to ask for soy sauce, but they brought it with no problem. The entire bowl was twelve bucks, and it filled me up more than a little bit. I didn't need to eat much dinner that night. The restaurant was clean and neat. Noise level was low. They've got about six different TVs in the place, which annoyed me a bit. I'm not a "TV while you eat" kind of guy. Still, the food was more than good enough to make up for it. Maybe next time I'll actually try the chicken. I hear it's quite good... read more

Ordered for take out and wasn't super pleased. They forgot my extra spicy sauce and the strips were more like tenders/chicken fingers, not what I'm used to when I order strips. But that was fine. The problem was they were kind of dry, not much sauce on them like they usually are. I've ordered from other locations in Northern Va when I lived up there. Not sure if the quality is changed or what. Last time I ordered for take out from this location, they forgot my order of fries but at least the food was better. None of this is the end of the world or would normally stop me from ordering but Bonchon is already expensive compared to some other take out, and that with all the little things is enough to deter me now. read more
