    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.

    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

    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.

    Pork Potstickers - 8pc

    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.

    Happy hour and beer menu

Service was also great. We got our food in a reasonable time.

Another go-to, the tempura broccoli, was fried in a very-light crispy batter, and flavored with a light house-made vinegar sauce. Our go-to spicy tofu BRAH "bowl" lit us up with soft-centered baked tofu cubes in a medium-spicy sauce with the flavors of fresh herbs, garlic, and shallots, over a bed of tender long-grain white jasmine rice and with a pretty mango/papaya shredded-carrot slaw. The long rippled-noodles were tender, smothered in a spicy savory brown sauce that also pushed the envelope of my admittedly somewhat wimpy heat tolerance :-j We got the huge lightly-battered crispy flavorful shrimp, over white rice, garnished with sliced pickled red onions and pickled cucumber circles over tender fluffy jasmine rice. We are always happy with the staff at this Ekiben location, with hot flavorful generous on-time take-out. (Aug 2026).

Overall I would be coming back to try the neighborhood bowl and the rest of their menu. This place had a couple of seatings inside and out.

Ordered the Poke bowl and grabbed a Taro Milk drink prepackaged without ice and while waiting the menu called me to sit and enjoy an imperial roll and y'all that thang was everything, banging. . Flavor was everything. Gave me a moment to slow down on travel for a moment. I haven't eaten the Poke bowl yet, my original plans have changed and it will now go to Detroit, maybe I still have an hour. The service was right on point.

    Yelp Review 2026 #185:…read more I normally wouldn't trust airport sushi unless I'm in Japan. But I really wanted sushi after eating all sorts of Jamaican food during my vacation. BWI has two Gachi locations: one near B5, and one near A8. This one is near A8. After a terrible experience at another airport restaurant, I decided to grab food from here. At first, I wasn't sure if I went to the sit down restaurant or the grab and go. Both locations have tables and chairs and near other eateries. They both have grab and go food. So, at first, I grabbed two trays of sushi. As I was about to pay, I noticed a menu in front of the cashier so, I had to ask if they had actual fresh made-to-order sushi. And they did and I was told to grab a table and somebody will take my order. I put the sushi trays back. There's only one server and she was hiding behind the sushi counter. She seemed really shy. I waited patiently for her to take my order, give me water, etc. I only had 40 minutes left on my 2-hour layover and I still had to make it to the B gates to board. Sake Oshi Sushi: Pressed sushi with torched salmon, miso sauce, sushi rice, pickled ginger, jalapeno, and tempura crunch. The layer of rice is too thick. I had to eat the fish on top and skip the rice on a few pieces because it was just too much. This was on the sweet side and I'm not a fan of sweet sushi. The jalapeño slices still had seeds. 2.5/5 Salmon Nigiri: The quality of the fish was surprisingly good. The rice was compact and stayed intact. It was time to pay and the server was nowhere to be found and I had to leave. So, I just paid at the counter.
