I don't know what they put in that chicken and honestly, I don't want to know -- just don't ever stop doing it. Whatever the marinade, the seasoning, the cooking process, all of it, it works and it works well. The variety here is one of a kind too, you can find things on this menu that you're just not getting anywhere else in the area, which keeps every visit feeling fresh. And a bar! A full bar at a chicken spot is a move I fully support. The staff is extremely friendly every time I walk in, the kind of warm service that makes the whole experience better from the moment you sit down. I'm a fan, plain and simple. read more

Bonchon used to be my go to for Korean wings. not so much anymore. I didn't mind paying a more expensive price for their chicken but the last two times I ordered I was highly disappointed. The chicken was not hot both times and this time some of the chicken wasn't done all the way. I think I may find another Korean chicken place to order from going forward... read more

Customer service is basic, and the chicken is pretty good. It's very crispy and sweet. The fries were greasy and seemed old. I probably wouldn't order those again. My main gripe is that the chicken is super expensive, and food for one person will cost close to $20 or more. Depending on how hungry you are you may or may not have leftovers. The chicken is good but not worth the price. There are tables to eat at inside and they also serve beer so that's a plus. read more

My first visit included solid customer service, yummy wings and decent chicken fried rice. I got the yangnyeom sauce on the wings. The menu claims it is a Korean favorite. While I cannot validate that claim, it quickly became my favorite! It is a bit spicy and a bit sweet and a wonderful flavor. I also got fried rice with chicken. You get the choice of soy garlic or spicy and I opted for spicy. It was quite spicy, so an extra large glass of water was essential. The rice wasn't overly flavorful and it could have used something more than cucumbers to add to the taste. I added my own soy sauce to it and that improved the dish, but it is something I probably wouldn't order again. But the wings? Winner!!! read more

Great customer service and kick azz chicken wings. I'm already planning my next visit. The restaurant was clean and plenty of seating but it was a quiet night - however pick up was pretty steady. We got take away this time, next visit I want to make time to enjoy the decor of the place. I wish I had a Bonchon near me because the chicken was fried to perfection I need to try the whole menu read more

Poor management/customer service. Placed an online order Saturday at 5:45PM. Nothing crazy just chicken and some fried rice. Get there at the pickup time (6:10). The lady working there tells me it will be 8-10 more minutes. They are waiting on the rice. 20 minutes pass - still waiting. I ask about my order and the same lady tells me 10 more minutes. By 6:45 I still had not received my order. Canceled and left. These casual dining places in Waldorf are going downhill fast. read more

I've never had an issue at Bonchon! It's always clean, I get excellent service. I came on a Tuesday evening. I was immediately greeted by the gentleman at the register. Now don't laugh at me because I have teenage taste buds and I prefer the boneless wings. Lol! They are fried hard and good and meaty. Not too thin. And I got a garlic soy base. So good!! It comes with Cole slaw and I always get a side of rice. I normally get the chicken fried rice which is flavorful. It honestly tastes better than what it looks like. I'll be back again!! Ooops and I forgot the dumplings are pretty good as well. read more

I tried Bonchon for the first time and the food was delicious. I ordered the same the next day.

We typically just order and pick up in the evenings, but had an opportunity to stop in for lunch today. Food was great! HOT & Fresh! I especially enjoyed the great customer service from Lamar & Ethan! Thank you! read more

Shout out to Lamar, good drinks, food and vibes ! Will be back each and every Monday & Tuesday !

They got soju yall!!!! Solomon is the absolute best!! Very attentive and knowledgeable!! Ask for him when you come in!!

Had an issue with a previous order and Jacky immediately called me to correct it and offered a replacement. Called the store and talked to Soloman who was extremely helpful and polite. He greeted me at the door and provided great customer service, which is hard to come by. The food is always good but I will be back due to the great service. read more

I'm going to be honest, this place wasn't as good as it used to be to be. Immediately walking in I noticed that the floor was sticky and it wasn't in just one spot. It also seemed a bit understaffed because the lady at the front was also my server but I could understand if business is slow. Ordered 8 wings, half Korean and the other half spicy with a side of fries. Was going to order a beer but I was told they no longer service alcohol. I don't know if this is an overall company thing or just this location but that was disappointing. Overall the wings were good but with the sticky floors and lack of alcohol I doubt I will be going to this location again. But on a positive note I can see myself getting a to go order. read more

Our server Solomon was great at the Waldorf location. Great customer service and very informative on the menu. We will come here again.

Food was good. The Edamame wasnt seasoned well but the dumplings are on point!! Fries are great! Love this spot but there us a sour smell to the place. Would only do takeout. The service is amazing too. Super fast, helpful and just a kindness you dont get enough in restaurants anymore. read more

It's a dependable option for Korean fried chicken. You can't go wrong with the classic soy garlic wings. I preferred the wings because the drumsticks are too large (think KFC/Popeyes size). The sauce to meat ratio is thrown off when the chicken is not smaller like a normal wings. Service is friendly and most folks seem to be there for to go orders rather than dine in from what I observed. read more

My Mom and I went to here the other day and it was so different from before I asked did they have new management. I was told they have New Owners. They didn't have Kimchi and we weren't told that until after we received our order, prbly would have left if we knew when placing our order. The side of white rice that came with the dish was so hard. Normally I get there Soy Garlic wings but I didn't order that, maybe that would have tasted the same. We ordered Japchae and Bulgolgi. The quality of the food wasn't the same. I haven't been there in two years and will not go back. Such a waste of $43.00. We didn't even take the food we didn't finish home. When we were leaving the Young Lady gave us a 15% coupon for our next visit. I left it there. No need. We will Stick with Kodori. read more

The food is soooooooo goood! The service is amazing ! And the ambiance is so vibey ! Servers having fun working and serving :) We also got Bulgogi fries, chicken katsu and Korean BBQ wings! YUM read more

My experience at Bonchon was excellent. Jackie and Lillie were exceptional. The only reason I didn't give it a five was because of the wait. I wasn't prepared for the wait, but next time I'll be ready because the food is worth it! read more

My wife and I had the pleasure of experiencing one of the best dining-in experience in years! We were greeted upon entering by Mr Solomon as soon as we walked in. We could feel the passion / professionalism he displayed to ensure that we received our food exactly the way we ordered it and in a timely manner. While waiting, we observed that he greeted each and every customer and also, when they departed, he was sincere regarding their safety upon arriving to their destination! I asked him if he was the owner because he surely acted as if it was his restaurant! Simply outstanding!!!!! read more

My order was taken by Solomon, and he was very friendly and informative of menu items, selections, and additions.

I paid $7.99 plus tax for 7.5 slices of zucchini in my takeout order. Absolutely ridiculous. Will not order from them again. read more

Bonchon Waldorf - 7.5 slices of zucchini - Korean Near Me - Waldorf, Maryland

This place is hit or miss, unfortunately. I ordered 8 boneless wings, a side of fried zucchini, and the donuts. Even though I placed my order online, I still had to wait at least 10 extra minutes past my pickup time. Despite waiting in the store, my chicken was cold--some pieces were warm, but others weren't. On top of that, the chicken wasn't sauced properly, so some pieces barely had any flavor. The pickled radish was gross, and the donuts were only half-covered in sugar and cinnamon. The fried zucchini was just okay. When I had Bonchon on Sunday (1/26), it was amazing--I was already planning my next visit. But my experience before that was also a miss, which makes me feel like consistency is an issue. For the price, even with the lunch specials, it's disappointing that it's so hit or miss. read more

Solomon was super kind and helpful. I definitely will be coming back. Customer service was A+

Stopped here after dinner and was greeted by the most polite person ever! His name was Solomon and he was the cashier. I watched this young man talk to his customers as if they were genuinely his family. I observed him running from behind the counter to go and open the door for people entering the establishment ! He was truly a breath of fresh air and definitely an asset to BonChon! Wow!! Way to go Solomon! read more

Tried Bonchon for the first time this past weekend. It DID NOT DISAPPOINT! I ordered online and selected Curbside Pickup. Everything was smooth with picking up the order and the food was prepared timely. Now let's get into some dishes: Fried Chicken- Okay, Korean fried chicken is the truth! I've never had any doubt but it was confirmed. Crispy without being overdone and flavorful without being too salty. I ordered a combo (half plain, half soy garlic) as well as the strips (half spicy, half sweet chili). Going forward, wings and drums it is! With regard to flavor, plain is very plain and a good option for someone sensitive to spice. Spicy wasn't too spicy for me (I love spice!) but others in my family found it a bit too spicy. Sweet chili spice was just right and soy garlic had a wonderful flavor, not too salty and not too sweet. Shrimp Sumai- It was good but not great. The taste was not bad at all but there was no wow factor. Fried rice- Yum yum yum! Flavorful and again not greasy or overcooked. Bulgogi- Another winning dish. Nice tender ribeye beef and great flavor. Japchae- The Japchae was by far the star dish. My entire family loved it. Tasty, filling, and wonderful. For a first visit, it was stellar. If you're thinking of trying Bonchon, go for it! There's bound to be a something (or three!) that you'll enjoy. read more

Love the double fried Korean chicken. Wish they had more vegetables and changed the sides (skip the coleslaw and offer kimchi). It's a chain so you always know what you're getting. If you e never had Bonchon, you better get at it. And get that soy garlic! read more

Bonchon definitely took me by surprise. My husband and I decide to pick a random spot we hadn't tried in our area one night for dinner and I must say we weren't disappointed. We were throughly empresses by the quality and freshness of the food and presentation. The customer service/ cashier was very knowledgeable of menu selections which made our almost impossible decision making process fairly easy (we can almost never come to a quick decision lol). Everything was good and hot, not thrown together and very flavorful. The ambiance of this establishment is very quiet and clean which is always top on my list before dining. We have already decided to try a new other items at a later date. read more

Food was sooo yummy and Soloman gave us fantastic service! Obsessed with the pork belly bao bun and of course the chicken wings. read more

Bonchon Waldorf - Korean chicken Mixed 6 PC 4Wings 2 Drums - Korean Near Me - Waldorf, Maryland

When I first visited this location a few years back, everything was on point, from the chicken, to the fries, bulgogi fried rice. Recently, the quality has suffered and I can't say it's due to anything outside of the newness has worn off. Today I had the following: Japchae (glass noodles with red bell peppers, spinach, onions, mushrooms and beef): although I finished my meal, it was still lackluster. The flavor profile was just "okay" nothing I would order again. I enjoyed the texture of my noodles but the dish in itself truly lacked a deep flavor profile which caused me to have to add soy sauce ...overall, I rate this dish. 3.5 Salad with sesame ginger dressing: this salad was tasty, all of my ingredients were fresh and the dressing has an amazing flavor. I'll always opt for sesame ginger Would I go back, possibly but I wouldn't plan on going ..maybe if I just so happen to be in the area. read more

Again after 8 year I am back this time the drums are small so disappointed it's like a midget wings being served and the chicken where cold being served. DC portions are a lot bigger, not coming back here again, so disappointed. read more

We were in the mood for some good chicken so decided to stop here. We were disappointed to find out that this location did not have a full bar like other locations. This location only had beer and wine so we stuff with two waters with lemon. We got the medium bone in wing combo with mild and spicy with an order of fries. We originally wanted onion rings but they were sold out which was a bummer. The overall ambiance did not give me sit down restaurant vibes. Half of the restaurant was sectioned off, I'm assuming that's how it's been since the pandemic. They only had 5-6 actual tables. When I went to use the restroom there was a ton of paper supplies leading to the back. It more so reminded me of a carryout that had some tables on the side. I will likely only come back for the carryout option. read more

Food was great, and had excellent service from Solomon. I would recommend the wings with soy garlic.

For our first time the food and service was amazing and ambiance is amazing and have been wanted to come since I have seen it on instagram and tik tok and being half Korean and Japanese this is amazing And 10/10 would come back read more

I received the best service ever from the Bonchos store # 3059 from Jackie, Solomon, and Kuddy. Im an HR professional with over 20 yrs experience and I was super impressed with them going over and beyond to acco.odate and make the buying experience top notch. Outstanding communication, service, food was delicious. Solomon gave me a piece of chicken from his own order so that I could taste a new flavor. The asked me if I was a Veteran as opposed to me having to ask for a military discount. Their energy was sharp professional yet they made you feel at home. I was really honored by their appreciation for me as a Veteran.. hit different then the lip service I've encounter. 10 out of 10 Rating! read more

Awesome customer service and fresh food! Clean good ambiance. I recommend that you come. I will be back. read more
