Partially sauced chicken 8 Pc Strips
Ameenah P.

I was first introduced to Bonchon when I lived in Columbus Ohio (those locations are closed now). The chicken was crisp, saucy and delicious! After the locations closed, I was unable to get the beloved Korean chicken. I recently moved to Maryland and, lo and behold, there is a location less than 5 mins from me! Imagine my excitement. I gushed to my husband about how amazing the chicken is! It's located in a plaza that's easily accessible from the road. There is plenty of parking and there is curbside pick up. My husband and I ordered two 8-piece tender meals--one with fries and one with rice. I loved it with the rice while in Columbus because it was easy to sop up that wonderful soy garlic taste. Well... the strips were coated lightly. There was no extra sauce for the rice. The strips were... OK. They weren't as crispy as I had remembered and the soy garlic was lacking because they was barely any sauce. But, no worries! I told myself I'd just go get a cup of extra sauce on the side. I drove back to the location to be told NO and that the sauce is brushed on and is not given out. So, I am less than thrilled. My husband and I haven't been back since. He said that he enjoyed the taste and the fresh chicken but would have loved extra sauce too and a little bit more fried. I will probably return for lunch because it's cheaper but it won't be anything I'm seeking. Too bad.

10 pc boneless wings

Ordered online for pick up, and food was ready at the time provided. Wings and fries were both good and crispy. Restaurant is in a convenient location with lots of parking.

i have past this restaurant many times and never tried if so decided to check it out. the location i went to was takeaway only so i ordered ahead and picked up my togo order i ordered the kimchi and the veggie potstickers. 8 come in the order and you can get them plain or marinated in sauce; i choose to split so half plain and half is soy garlic sauce. the soy garlic sauce was really good and complimented the potstickers and the kimchi was very good overall good food and good flavor

Pork Potstickers - 8pc
Chastity S.

Not sure what's up with this location. Ordered pick up and got there exactly at the time they sent the pick up order text to let them know I was there. Ordered 16 wings and the potstickers. The sauce on both are way off than usual. A bit sour. You can tell they don't double fry it here. The Columbia location I can save leftovers for lunch the next day and it's still crispy. On pickup the skin was flaking off and all soggy. Taste like some Buffalo Wild Wings. The food wasn't even warm at all, had to reheat in the microwave. I love bonchon and this one is nearby but I will continue making the drive to Columbia or Arundel location. The girl who brought out the order was nice. However, last time we ate here inside it seems like the workers just don't care. There was one who was on lunch eating at the bar playing movies/videos on his phone really loud. There was one guy running around having to do everything. What a shame.

Bulgogi tacos to go
Mia L.

I've heard a lot about Bonchon and now I have a location close to home. They're mainly known for the Korean fried chicken which oddly, I didn't partake in during my visit. They have lunch specials which include a variety of items from their fried chicken to fried rice to Korean tacos. I decided to get the Korean tacos to go. I got the tacos with beef bulgogi and they were topped off with coleslaw and some type of sauce. I really enjoyed them. So far, a good experience and I look forward to returning to try other items on the menu, including the fried chicken.

Chicken stays crispy till I get home. Seasoned fries are the way to go. Bao buns are the best I've had in the area.

Pricey, but the chicken is delicious. I also love their Japchae. So far the service and the quality of their food have been consistent.

I have faithfully ordered carryout from this restaurant for years, in spite of good competition…read morenearby. Their food tastes very good, they are very friendly, the portion sizes are more than acceptable, and the menu is robust. I feel like their service has gone downhill in the last year. I have had multiple orders missing food. Since I order for a family, that leaves someone out and I've paid a lot. Waiting for what's missing is not an option since the other food gets cold and the family has to wait. On the last occasion I was missing an entire large meal plus rice, and they refused to credit back my card. It was delivery and they said I could drive there and get a cash refund. Drive? I paid for delivery. Refund? One family member goes hungry. Then they agreed to deliver another one right away. It never came so they obviously lied. I called back an hour later and they said the same thing, come drive here and get a cash refund. It's unethical to lie to your customers and even worse that this isn't the first time. I gave a four out of five, but one more instance and they go down a star. I'm now using the competition for most orders.

Neighborhood chicken bowl mild: delicious the chicken breading is crispy and has the perfect curry taste without being overpowering. The pickled veggies with it is a great palate cleanser and balances all the flavors. I got it mild and while I was nervous of the spice level being too much for me (I'm a weenie) it was perfect, the kind of spice that actually adds to the dish instead of hurting you. Tempura broccoli: So good! Crunchy without being oily, it had a bunch of herbs on it the brightened the whole dish. Ancho chile pork bun: perfectly smokey and meaty without being fatty. This one we really struggled to eat as an actually sandwich because the pork is cubed so it just falls out the sides. The buns are a fun addition and have good texture so I'm happy we tried it, but if I went back I would be fine without it. Crab Rangoon: I was a bit skeptical about 1 crab Rangoon being $10 but that is because o was thinking of my midwestern type of crab rangoons. This was PACKED with actual crab and not a whole lot of cream cheese so the price made more sense when I figured that out. Still very good, but did not stand out amongst the rest. The place was so cool inside, they had about 7-10 bar seats inside with 2 tables outside, I recommend taking this to go. The service was nice and quick, you can tell they have a very efficient process. My only suggestion would be to turn the music down a little bit because it was hard for me and my husband to just talk to each other about plans that we had for the rest of the day. So happy this was featured on the yelp top 100 places so that we could try it!

I ordered two main dishes and was originally told it would take about 15 minutes, but it ended up taking double that, so just keep that in mind if you're in a rush like we were. The space itself is pretty small too, so it's more of a grab and go place. The Neighborhood Bird bowl was a HUGE portion. It was kind of spicy but the pickled onions helped even it out. I also tried the ancho chile pork bun. The bun itself tasted amazing,but it was a bit difficult to eat. The bottom got pretty soggy while the top bun was thick and tall, so it kind of fell apart while eating.

Made it to this Ekiben location after a field trip with my son. I ordered while the field trip was…read morefinishing up via their website. The food was ready to go when I arrived. Doesn't matter the location, my order remains the same. A Tofu Bun, Tempura Broccoli, Tofu Bowl and Tofu Nuggets. The food was on point (as it always is). I was a bit saddened to see the note at the register that the Buns that are currently being served are not vegan due to a manufacturing issue. I'm not sure it mentions this when ordering online (if it doesn't, it should). Thankfully the bun is for my wife and she isn't the vegan. Love that this location offers a breakfast sandwich, something unique that the other locations don't offer. It isn't vegan or even vegetarian friendly but cool that they have their own thing happening here. I was doing take out so seating didn't matter but this location offers a similar amount of seats as the Fells Point location (meaning super limited space). Definitely smaller than Hampden, the location I most frequently visit. Anyways, Ekiben is my wife and I's favorite and this location did nothing to diminish that.

Now for the Maryland softie, my first bite was heavenly (full of the crab-cake and remoulade), but as I kept eating it, I realized I would've just preferred it with just crab cake, not the soft shell too. Was it worth the hype? kind of. It's pricey so maybe one and done for me. Now the crab Rangoon egg roll, that was a miss for me. It is cheesy and filled with imitation crab, but too small for me at the price point. And I didn't find it super tasty personally. My sister who is also a yelp elite had a totally different take and loves it, so maybe it's subjective. I did have it 4 hours (put it in air-fryer) after I got it so maybe eating it super fresh is the difference. Space is limited so better for carryout, and the person taking my order was friendly. It'll probably take 20-30 mins for your order to come out, depending on how many people there are and pickup orders they have to complete. Overall, this place is a Maryland staple at this point and anyone who visits MD should 100% try and check out their famous fried chicken, whether as a bao sandwich or a rice bowl.

******FRESH REVIEW FOR 2025!!*****…read more KEY DETAILS: Dinner for adults, 18.99, lunch 14.99 (discounts for seniors and young children, drinks not included [2.99], made to order hibatchi included, sushi bar included) ***Strategy Note*** In these inflated times, higher prices and smaller portions, Grand Hibachi is an excellent value. But to maximize your money, I suggest visiting at lunch. M-Friday until 3:15pm, you can get lunch price and pair with water, saving 7$ per adult. And the lunch selection is 85% or better as good as dinner choices. THE GOOD: Great variety and quality for the price - dedicated staff too THE BAD: Not much, avoid Sundays - mobbed, but that in itself is a compliment. Like any buffet, there is an occasional off dish, but the winners pick up the slack As a proud Marylander, I've dined here 2-3xs a month since 2018. I go because I leave full and satisfied knowing it was money well spent. They have a delectable variety of dishes with plenty for all preferences and diets. Whether you are strict low carb, looking for healthy options, or just don't care and want to savor it all - this is the place. Let me say, if you love seafood, one modest plate of huge hardshell crabs, crawfish and mussels alone will easily cover the price. The salad bar is stacked with sauces and desserts (fruits, cakes, pudding and more). They have a fantastic made-to-order hibatchi bar, great sushi, and of course all the Chinese take-out favorites. Do you like fried chicken and shrimp? Don't waste your money at chains, they have it here and it's better. Not looking to sit? Save time with convienient take out. I also like they stay on top of the stations. They are typically clean and organized. Finally, the staff is friendly and they work hard to keep your table clear and the restaurant clean. Enjoy! I do - every time.
