BonChon offers an unique twist to fried chicken. The chicken is delicious and are generous on their portions. The glazing on the chicken (soy-garlic or hot) offers a kick to the fried chicken experience. I also eat my chicken with the spicy mayo sauce, which offers a different taste to it. For the sides, I would lean heavily towards the seasoned fries, which are amazing. The restaurant is very clean and has an elegant and modern feel to the interior design. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. I would recommend BonChon to everyone. They are always a fan favorite when I have friends and family visiting into Waldorf. read more

Bonchon is one of my guilty pleasures. I love going to this place. Very friendly staff, very accommodating. My food always comes out nice and fresh. I believe my family go so much that the waiter actually knows our order by heart. Now that's quality customer service. The only thing they could do to better places have an actual bar that serves real liquor. read more

The chicken in particular is stupendous & customer service is friendly, only docked 1 star from the rating because the cook time is on the slow side. I visit maybe every 3 or 4 weeks! read more

I went there on a humble and turned out to be the best decision my co worker and I made. I was going to get wings because others were talking about them but decided on the chicken fried rice....and have to admit I was totally in love. Fresh flavorful and all around delicious. Who would have ever thought RICE could be so good. Not to leave out the awesome staff and the patience in them taking our order, for the two most indecisive people. read more

Just had to walk out. Ordered a beer and was asked for my ID which I think is appropriate even though I'm 50 yrs old. Once I showed my valid ID the server said he needed to take my ID so he could scan it. At that point I told him that I was done with this place. I'm perfectly fine with checking but scanning my ID so that big brother can know what I've had to drink and when crosses the lines for me. You just lost a customer but I still wish you well. read more

Christmas Eve, about 10 minutes before closing, the staff was kind enough to take my order over the phone! I made it in the doors right before closing, even after a late night and a long day they were still so friendly. My family absolutely loves the Korean style wings, I needed an appetizer to contribute to a gathering that night, these wings were a hit! They were delicious, fresh, and gobbled up in no time! Definitely a chicken wing go to spot! read more

Couldn't wait for this place to open... today was the first oportunity to check it out and sad to say was not thrilled. Chicken was just OK but loved the fried rice with bolgogi. The service was NOT good. You walk in and no one greets you, there's a sign that says wait to be seated and as we waited we watched as 9-10 employees standing behind the counter doing not sure what..lots were eating. I could go on but I'll stop and let others be the judge. Prices also seemed high for what you get. read more

The food is really good. The bulgogi tacos are good but could use more meat and that would make them even better. $8 for 3 tacos should have more in them. The service leaves a lot to be desired. My server Aljohn finally came to the table to take my order after spending 10 min. chatting it up with a co worker at the register. After that I never saw him again until he brought the check. read more

I love this place! The food is so good !! I always get the chicken strips and the seasoned fries!! Amazing! The customer service was also amazing too! I will definitely return!! read more

Was so excited to try this. I'm a fan of Korean chicken, but we have to drive to Annandale to get it. Extra excited because they had chicken tenders. Everything was fabulously yummy until I found TWO PIECES with human hair in the batter. Not just one, but TWO! Yeah, I just can't after that. So incredibly disappointed! Well, guess it's back to Annandale ChiMc I go! read more

We love Bonchon. But the Waldorf location sucks. We drove over an hour, and were told as soon as we came in that it was an hour and a half wait on wings. That's just ridiculous. We won't be coming back. read more

I ordered small soy garlic wings (10pc), popcorn ckn, 1 small fry and 1 large fry with 3 sodas totalling $42. The food came in 15m and it was hot. The taste is decent but its nothing that i would want to try again. read more

This place was only "okay" to me I went once and never went back. Can't even remember what I ordered because it left no impression. The fries were okay but nothing great to make me return. I'll go next door to noodles and company read more

Not sure if they're trying to still work out all of the kinks, but my experience was just OK. This is my second time eating here. The first time was dining in and it wasn't that great. The staff seemed very unorganized. Our waiter didn't even take our drink orders. This time I called in my order. They said 20mins but it was more like 35. My fries were cold, but everything else was fine. read more

My family was there for Christmas eve brunch. We were seated immediately and the servers were very friendly. Food came out promptly and was delicious. We ordered soy garlic combo, Tteokbokki, bibimbop and fried rice. Our combo was very crispy and juicy inside and loved bibimbop. Our waitress came by to check and our drinks were filled immediately. I loved the design and decoration of the location, it's very modern and you can tell that the owner really wanted to present the restaurant to its highest quality. read more

This was my first time at BonChon and AJ was very helpful with my order. I waited about 10 minutes and when I got home, discovered that I had a ton of food [I got the 10-piece strips, half and half]. The hot & spicy was delicious -- I love spicy food -- and the soy garlic was really flavorful. The pickled radishes are something I hadn't tried before, but they were tasty. I will certainly be back. read more

The only reason I'm giving it 4 stars is because I haven't gotten to try more items on the menu yet! At first I thought it looked a bit pricey but My Bibimbap was HUGE for a lunch portion, well worth the price. I haven't had such an authentic kimchi since I moved back to the states from Japan. The whole menu just brought me back to all of the awesomeness I miss from living in Asia and I can't wait to try everything else. Unlike some other reviews complaining about how everything is so spicy, that's actually something I harp on when it comes to any Asian cuisine, it HAS to be spicy. If it doesn't clear out my sinuses a tad bit then it wasn't even close to authentic. My husband could not get over what a great price it was for 4 wing drums and a side. They're huge and perfectly crispy! Can't wait to go back. Bonus: they offer military discount! read more

I went to this restaurant for lunch with my family. The service was A++. The server was very pleasant. We ordered the chicken wings which were large and cooked well. The fries were crunchy on the outside and moist on the inside. I highly recommend this restaurant for lunch. read more

We adore the meals here. The popcorn chicken is so tasty. You get so much in your order. Also the salmon ball is very good. Service is very friend as well. Only down fall is every time when I call in my orders and I asked for chop sticks I never get any in any of my orders (it happened numerous of times). Maybe they should ask you when you pick up your order of you would like chop sticks to save their customers the frustration of getting home and not getting to enjoy eating a delicious Korean meal with chopsticks. read more

Had I used the bathroom first, I would not have eaten here! Can only imagine what the kitchen looks like.

Not much to see here. I gave them 3 stars because I can't get onion rings as a side order. Fries but not onion rings. Chicken is good.

First time visiting this location today. The chicken which was all I got was not good. The chicken is heavily battered and with all the taste in the sweet or spicy batter. The meat of the this chicken is bland and tasteless. The food is definitely overpriced and not worth the trip. read more

I've been to the navy yard location and I've never been disappointed. This place has some work to do. First, the service is very slow and second the wings aren't crispy. That's one of the reasons I love Bonchon and if I cant get that I would rather make wings at home myself. read more

This is not the same bonchon. The Kimchi coleslaw is a joke. It's nothing but kimchi. The spicy wing are pretty good actually more seasoned than the original Bonchon. The customer service is much better than the Navy Yard location. A much shorter wait for your order. read more

Update: We tried BonChon hoping they worked out the kinks since they opened and it was great! We wanted more the next day so I drove 35 mins to pick up our order and then another 35 mins back. The chicken and wraps were so good! HOWEVER, we had to throw out the seasoned fries because we found 3 pieces of long wavy brown hair in it - thus only 3 stars. We paid over $66 and drove a long way. I was not too happy about the hair. --------------- I really wanted to give this place a five star rating because it is a Korean restaurant, HOWEVER, the foodie in me says I have to be honest even if forsakes my Korean side for a second. The chicken was MOIST (hence the two stars), but the flavor was a bit lacking. Korean food is supposed to be full of flavor. *Tears* The soy garlic tasted full of soy and not much else and the spicy just tasted of gochujang. Maybe I know what Korean fried chicken tastes like in Korea so I am biased, but I really did WANT to like it. I'm sorry Bon Chon I didn't want to do this *tears* Maybe next time... read more

Highly and unfortunately disappointed! My family and I loved Bonchon. We were even more excited that it is right near our home. Recently we ordered chicken strips and when we opened the boxes, we discovered chicken nuggets. $20 for 20 pieces...much less chicken and they were breaded small balls. The taste wasn't as good either. We called to find out they stopped selling strips so, we returned them for a refund. I would be happy if they returned strips again. I used to get those large sweet potato waffle fries they use to have too in VA. read more

The environment is pretty inviting upon entry and the cashier was pleasant; however, the quality of the items I selected was not consistent with the price. I placed a takeout order and tried the Japchae for $13.95 and it was a mess of tranparent noodles with miniature pieces of beef and veggies in a bowl. Also, tried the fried rice for $10.95 and added shrimp for an additional $2.00. Again the chicken pieces were so small, they seemed like they were blended and the shrimp were approximately the side of a nickel. Spent a total of $28.51 for mediocre Asian food that didn't look anything like the pictures in the menu. Maybe the other menu items are better, but I don't have the extra money to waste to finding out! I don't see a return visit in the future... read more

I tried this restaurant for lunch the other day. I am a huge lover of Korean food and I was very happy with what I ordered--the kimchee was tasty and fairly authentic. I also tried the steamed pork bun tacos--delicious! The waitress was very kind and helpful. The only criticism I had would be that the service was a little bit slow to cram in during a lunch break. Next time I may call ahead to bypass the lunchtime rush! read more

Great casual restaurant. The wings are fantastic and the fried rice very tasty.

Refreshing idea to something that has been around. Wings are excellent and udon noodles are fantastic!

I did enjoy my 20 piece chicken platter half/half. The chicken wings have the wing attached and the drum sticks look abnormal. I am wondering what kind of chicken is this and where are they buying this chicken? I will continue to be a loyal customer to my favorite Navy Yard DC BonChon. read more

I purchased the soy garlic wings and kimchi cole slaw. Horrible! First, the quality of chicken was bad. Chicken should not be stringy and it had very little seasoning and soy garlic coating. It was oversized chicken wings. How do I know? I've been to the Navy Yard and Arlington locations, ordered the same thing, and never had this problem. I really want my money back. I had to put my food in the trash. Second, the cole slaw was watery and had very little seasoning compared to the other locations. My recommendation is to recruit some people to the Waldorf location for training. So Disappointed..... read more

I like the food at Bonchon, however I was disappointed to find out that they changed their menu, and got rid of the chicken strips. Instead, now they have boneless wings, bone-in wings, and drumsticks. Now you may be asking yourself, what's the difference? It's all chicken right? Well the strips were more visually appetizing. Who wants to eat a whole pile of drumsticks??? When I go there, I hear a lot of people asking for the chicken strips, and being just as disappointed as I am that they're gone. You might want to consider bringing them back. On another note, the soy garlic sauce is a little too salty. That is all. read more

Does not compare to their other locations in Arlington and Annandale. Food is sub par, service is okay. I'll probably come again but it's not a memorable experience and it is not on the same level as there other locations. read more

Since they have now been open for a long while, the food and service are much better. I am glad that I gave them a second chance.

Absolutely loved the salmon avocado roll I will definitely be going back in the near future, their wait staff was really helpful and patient with me and my two indecisive girls. read more

Wow, some of the best chicken we've ever eaten. The skin was light, airy and full of flavor. AJ was very friendly and professional. If you haven't tried Bonchon, you must... read more

I am a wing snob. Wings here are large, plump, moist on inside, and crunchy crisp on outside. I have had the soy garlic wings. The flavor is unmatched. The crunch to the wing was like a lightly crisp egg roll. The flavor a perfect blend of sweet and savory. Very satisfied with the price and customer service. Decor was surprisingly inviting: urban modern deco, very cool place to go with friends or on a date. read more

Bonchon Waldorf - Very urban chic - Korean Near Me - Waldorf, Maryland

The food is great however, the customer service/management is poor!! The manager refused to come out and hear an issue we had with their spicy wings. It's likely I will never come to this location again...even though the food is great! read more

Food is delicious! It may get too crowded sometimes because it is a small place but the food beats it
