Located on a little plaza at the junction of a busy intersection, this Bonchon shares ample parking with the other little shops in the area. We came in on a Wednesday evening as a party of two without having to wait in an otherwise relatively quiet night We ordered the 10pc mix wings, half soy garlic, half spicy, and a bibimbap for balance also with garlic soy chicken For $17 the bibimbap was underwhelming. It was good, don't get me wrong, but doesn't justify the price The wings were also disappointing. While they have the signature Bonchon double fried taste, there's actually very little meat - I'm not sure what kind of chicken they're getting but don't be fooled by the 'size' in the photos - you take one bite, and its a lot of crunch and a lot of air. It's funny - I'm looking at their menu online and they offer 6pc mixed or 12pc mixed, but not a 10pc option... you can count in the photos yourself. Not sure what's going on there. I also ordered a pint of Sapporo All of this, for the two us, including tip, was about $60. The food is fine, but this meal absolutely does not warrant the price tag. We left feeling a bit remorseful and didn't really satisfy our fried chicken craving that night tldr; this isn't like Bonchon from 10 years ago. Prices aren't really worth for a fried chicken chain, the wings themselves are really small but 'look' big - little meat, lots of crispy, lots of air. The chain has really devolved these years read more

I remember when Bonchon first opened in the DMV and we waited 1 hour for that delicious Korean Fried Chicken. It was worth the wait back then...what about these days? First off, I will say this Bonchon location is nice and clean and you don't have oily slippery floors like I've seen in the past so that's positive. It is also more 'full service' with a bar and more servers then I've seen elsewhere. Ok good start... The other big bonus is $1 wings on Mondays & Tuesdays...Wow..good deal! We order 20 some odd wings with a combo of soy garlic and spicy. It takes 10-15 mins to get your freshly fried wings so be prepared to wait. When they come, I dig in immediately...hmmm. ...what do I think? Not as good as I remember...they are ok but somehow just a bit different. If you've never had Korean Fried Chicken I still say go try it but for a veteran like me it's good but not great. read more

Been to this location about 3 times since it opened, my family and I really enjoy the menu. This time for 2 of us we got the 16 piece half soy garlic and half yangnyeom flavor. We also got an order of the spicy potstickers to start. The chicken is perfectly crunchy and they make sure to cover them with a ton of sauce, and the spicy potstickers have a nice quick. I also enjoy their other menu items such as the tteokibokki and cheese corn. If you're coming here with family this is a great place to visit. The staff is fast and the kitchen makes the food pretty quickly as well. read more

Was craving some wings today after dropping my daughter at practice so came in today. Korean fried chicken is always superior to another state that also starts with a K. Sat at the bar since it was only me, and was accompanied with friendly bartenders and staff. Wings came out quickly. They are currently running a wing promotion on Mondays and Tuesdays for $1 wings. You can't beat this deal, even at Colonel fast food places. read more

I came in and was greeted by a friendly order-taker and placed a takeout order of Japchae. It was flavorful, but the veggies were undercooked. I've had them cooked perfectly at other Bonchons, so I do have perspective on this dish. I would never dine inside because I disliked the takeout experience (a first for me). I sat at one of their tables and was about to TASTE my food when a young woman (presumably a manager) advised me of their "no outside food or drink" policy. I immediately closed the lid on my food and rose to leave. I told her I didn't see a sign. She told me it's posted on the entry door and she showed it to me on my way out. It was a small sign and I missed it. I wish she'd taken a moment to notice that mine was a takeout order and that I wasn't dining in. Meaning the milkshake that I had with me wasn't going to be consumed on the property. Does this mean that if I came in with a can of soda get my takeout order, she'd have come and spoken to me? Petty. read more

Super friendly service & plenty of seatings indoors! I was quickly seated on a Saturday night and food came out fairly quickly, Food: ordered the medium mixed with wings and drumsticks with half soy garlic and their new sauce yangnyeom. First thought when the food came out was these are some large pieces of drumsticks & wings!! The yangnyeom was my favorite. It was spicy and sweet and just overall balanced out perfectly. I usually love soy garlic flavor however the wings coated in this sauce was my least favorite. I thought it was way too salty. I also ordered the new item on the menu: mapo Korean corn dog coated in sugar and cinnamon, this was my absolutely least favorite out of everything. It was way too breading & the mapo seasons just tasted weird to me. I would not get this ever again. I love how the chicken was doubled fried & had the perf crispiness! read more

As far as chain locations go, I'd say this one is pretty solid. Easy to get to, plenty of parking, and not super crowded. I think most people are familiar with Korean fried chicken and probably Bonchon as well. The inside is clean and the service is fast and friendly - really can't ask for much more! I felt like the food came out fast and was the same quality I have come to expect for Bonchon. We've done both dine-in and take-out and have had nothing but super smooth experiences. It would be nice if they moved some TVs to the part of the wall with the world map - but other than that, dining in is perfectly fine. We'll be back :)! read more

I'd heard people talk about how great this place was and for some reason in my mind I thought it was a quick serve takeout restaurant not a full service dining place. So when I went with a friend to pick up some takeout out and we were both surprised when we walked in and saw all the tables. We went on a Saturday afternoon and there was hardly anyone there. We decided not to stay and eat as it is always awkward to be in an empty restaurant. We asked the guy at the host stand/register what to get. With some parameters he offered suggestions. We got chicken strips, fried rice and seasoned French fries. To start off, the order of fries was smaller than expected for the $8 price tag... it wasn't a typical sharing size. The smallest order of chicken strips was 8 pieces which is hefty and more than the two of us could eat. We split the order into 2 flavors, both were very good. The chicken strips were really good but very spicy! The fried rice we got at the employees recommendation was meh. I wouldn't order it again. Overall it was okay. The price for our food was higher than our enjoyment. read more

FOOD We ordered a mix of wings and drumsticks of the KBBQ and spicy types. The KBBQ option was a little on the sweeter side but still delicious. The spicy one wasn't too spicy, but if you have sauces at home, they can augment the flavor multi-fold. At over a two dollars per wing/drumstick, the place is on the expensive side, but it's a definitely nice treat ever so often. SERVICE We didn't dine in, and the takeout service is also streamlined and easy to get in and out. They provide chopsticks, utensils, and napkins with the bag, and the side dishes are packaged neatly to avoid spillage. I would recommend opening the chicken containers on the drive fro to keep them crispy. The staff are friendly and efficient. AMBIANCE The inside is very clean and modern with many seating arrangements available. It's a great place for a nice get-together with friends/colleagues or to dine-in solo. PARKING The restaurant shares a large parking lot with neighboring stores, making it easy to find a spot. read more

First off still a good place. Their chicken and sides are delicious. Yet when prices are an issue, one has to consider the alternatives. Bonchon is still the king of this style of chicken, but I now personally prefer a couple of their competitors. Would I still recommend here? Absolutely and for those first going with this type of chicken, you'll be wise to start out here. It is a comfortable, and extremely clean restaurant. Have to say thank you, to the kind staff who are polite here. Parking can be challenging. I did like their old location a little bit more. This is a decent spot to go to, so if you're close by, it's worth a meal time. Family friendly and a safe choice. read more

Walked in on a Tuesday evening for a late evening snack! Ordered a medium half-half combo(Drums & flats): Soy-garlic chicken 8/10: Juicy, crispy, but a little too salty Spicy chicken 7.5 /10: not very spicy and a little too salty The server was nice and refilled my partner's water 9/10 There were not many people as it was a Tuesday night, but it was clean, music playing, and a good place to sit and grab a snack or drink! Overall decent place to hangout, but not the best Korean fried chicken in the area. read more

this restaurant does not do a good job with customer service, we placed a large order and they forgot the radish. We call and all they said was to come back. We drove 20 mins. they also said they would talk to the manager to see what the would do to resolve the issue, when we called back the managers weren't event there! the worst customer service ever read more

Worst experience ever. I came in to grab food and saw a new worker being trained. Instead of helping him, the manager was flat-out rude. She snapped at another employee who tried to help, rushed through instructions, and then barked "Do you have the money?" while I was literally holding it in my hand. She told the trainee to "grab it then," making him take it straight from me, and immediately scolded him again in front of me. The poor guy looked embarrassed, I was uncomfortable, and the whole thing was unprofessional. If this is how management treats their staff (and customers), it says everything about the place. Not coming back. read more

Amazing crispy chicken with bold flavors, friendly and quick service, and a clean, welcoming ambiance. Always a great dining experience.

The strips were well made and the sandwich was delicious. The serving was friendly and laidback. The K-pop music was enjoyable!

This was a bad experience from beginning to end. Waiter sat us and took our drink order and then.....clocked out. Literally. We waited and waited then looked for him only to see him behind the bar eating . We waived him over and he told us he was on break and actually started to ask if we would mind waiting!!! He did (somewhat) graciously agree to take our order but then only semi turned it in so we didn't get what we ordered and appetizers came at the end of the meal. Had to go get our drinks from the bar then had to go get our own refills. Wings were good. Can't deny that. But they were pricey and the service started at rock bottom then started digging. Our bill came with a 20% automatic gratuity since there were 6 of us and I am LIVID over that. To add insult to injury I completed the survey and received an email telling me they were sorry and someone would get in touch with me to make it right and then....crickets. Apparently there is no such thing as good customer service here. Not in the restaurant and not in corporate. But that's ok. There won't be any more of my dollars there either and I'm all too happy to tell everyone I know about the experience. read more

Not as good as the other locations. The chicken was tasteless and the radishes didn't have that crispness and quality from other times I've had Korean chicken. read more

Really good food and customer service! The dumplings and broth are phenomena. Also has a really good environmen.

Worst Bonchon I've had. We ordered the boneless soy garlic chicken strips and nuggets. They were way way too salty and dry. It was like they took an already over seasoned chicken tender and then smothered it with they soy garlic sauce making it more salty. We ended up just throwing it away and eating something else. Sorry, we love bonchon and maybe this is just an issue with their boneless items. read more

I usually get the medium wings half soy and half spicy. They reduced the number from 20 to 16 so it's a little disappointing but just their way of raising prices like everyone else except chi mc still has theirs at 20. They do offer another flavor called yang yum and it's not bad either. read more

Bonchon is a no nonsense fast casual Korean wings and drumstick restaurant. We ordered a shrimp dumpling starter and the new Yangnyeom wings/drumsticks. The wings were hearty and very easy to eat, but messy. We had to ask for extra napkins. The sauce was the star of the show, the sweet and spicy flavors were prevalent. The drumsticks were much larger than I expected! They almost looked like the ones from the renaissance festival. The skin was perfectly crisp and held the Yangnyeom flavor well. We were disappointed in the shrimp starter, it was six small dumplings with a honey mustard smattered around on the dish. The service was good, the server was attentive. The ambiance was aligned to that of a diner but was perfectly reasonable for the type of food served. There were quite a few tvs with different sports showing. read more

I know this place is a chain but it deserves 4 s. My friend and I sampled maybe 1/3 of the menu and each thing one upped the next, topping it all off with the crispness of the chicken. The food quality survived being delivered (vs fresh) and this is a good go-to spot when you're in a pinch. read more

Great Korean chicken wings Chicken Wings. Love the sauces on the inside. Perfect crunch on the outside with juicy chicken on the inside

We checked out this place when they first opened. Tiny wings...so disappointed. Monthly later, today we ordered again. Nothing has changed. We are not coming back. Each piece is in size of Chick-Fil-A nugget. FYI I've been eating korean fried wings for decades. So I know what I'm talking about. read more

Visited this Bonchon to pick up wings for friend's Super Bowl party. The location was completely overwhelmed by the huge influx of orders for Super Bowl. I placed my order 3 hours ahead of time for 6PM pickup, when I arrived at 6:10PM there were probably ~30 people inside the store waiting to pickup their orders, Bonchon was definitely running far behind on orders, and it was pretty chaotic at the pickup counter. I could not get the attention of a staff member to check if my order is ready since all the staff were running around hectically. Even though there were many bags of food ready on the counter could not check myself either since the tickets were facing inside or too far to read, and I didn't want to go over and start touching everyone else's food bag. A fight nearly broke out between 2 guys right next to me over mask wearing but some quick words from a staff member calmed that down. There was a lot of tension in the air as everyone seemed to be anxious to get food after lengthy delays. I finally got a text msg around 6:22PM that said my food was ready for pick up and when I went to the counter I realized my food was probably ready for a long time as I've seen the bag sit on the counter but couldn't tell if that was mine. The food was good. Feel for the staff members that had to handle such as stressful situation. The business definitely could have anticipated and managed this a lot better and limited the number of orders that can be placed for a set amount of time. read more

BONCHON OF FAIRFAX HAS FINALLY RETURNED!!! I'm in love. It still produces great chicken, crispy, and nicely sauced. What else can we ask for?!? I got the strips pieces with soy garlic. It is more thicker and like a chicken tender than I remember, but the sauce is still yum sweet garlicy with a hint of soy sauce. I could never replicate the sauce. Located next to cava and chipotle. read more

This Bon Chon is ok at this location in Fairfax but be careful on what you order ! I normally eat at the one in Manassas so to my surprise when I ordered the bibimbap which I always get in the Manassas store came hot and with egg but here it came cold and no egg , egg was extra then. Then I was told that it comes like that because in Korea they have two kinds cold and hot which is fine only it should have been asked if you want hot or cold!! So the young lady took it back and ask if I wanted something in its place so I got house fried rice ! It was ok but they charged us for both wow so be careful what you get ?!!!!!!! read more
