A couple of friends and I went to this place and it's so good. It's located in a beautiful neighborhood, King Farm (quite scenic), where there's street parking, but also a parking lot a little bit further away. Walking in there were a couple of places to sit, which was nice. The workers there were also very kind and greeted us with a smile and seated us right away. They were patient and ready for whenever we were ready to order. The wings were amazing. We got a ton of different flavors and none of them disappointed. The flavors and the seasonings were all strong and just made it perfect for a beer. Definitely coming back here again for more wings. read more

We got the 10pc soy garlic wings along with some appetizers to try. It was lightly sauced and crisp. Pieces were on the bigger side. The meat was tender, juicy and fresh. It tasted very clean. DON Chicken is way less greasy than some other kfc places like Bonchon which is a plus. Fries were good too and the pickled radish was perfect with the chicken. Items were packaged well for takeout. They put a layer of aluminum foil underneath the chicken which blocks it from making contact with the box. There was a sheet of parchment underneath the fries as well. Very thoughtful packaging. Love the extra care they put into the order! Making plans to come back for another meal soon. Highly recommend. read more

It's interesting to read some of the other reviews because it's pretty clear folks dunno what Korean Fried chicken is. Furthermore boneless wings aren't wings, they're fried tenders or breast. We got the crispy chicken wings and the green onion combo platter. The batter seems to be some kind of garlic pepper brine, which lives an interesting aftertaste in the mouth. The tempura veggies are actually really good, it's basically a Korean veggie pancake (pajeon). The menu pics don't do it justice. Very crispy, fresh made. I wish they would combine toppings though, green onion and snow etc. There are a lot of wings and drums! Staff is very nice and kind, small discount for cash payment. Price is slightly lower than other KFCs in the area. Vibes are cozy lounge with slow kpop in the background. They also got a Korean instant ramen machine which while amusing is not something I'd pay for at a restaurant. I think these are also single batter single fry wings so they're not as chonky as other KFCs. read more

2.28.25 Based on the high reviews, I was very excited to try this new restaurant which opened on December 18. I ordered a small soy garlic, boneless wings. I was surprised to learn that it was $15.95 (discounted price for cash payment) and that does not even include any sides except for pickled daikon. I did order a side of jasmine rice. I thought the serving for the small was generous and hearty. The chicken was crispy and the wings were huge. The downside was there was barely any coating of the sauce. When I go to Bonchon or other Korean restaurants, the chicken is coated in the sauce to the point where you need napkins to wipe your hands. That is not the case here. If you ask for additional sauce, there is a $2 charge. I really enjoyed their jasmine rice and the daikon. The rice was chewy and moist, one of the best that I've had anywhere. Given that other restaurants include sides with the chicken for roughly the same price, I am inclined to go to other restaurants. The chicken upset my tummy after I ate it, but my hubby says I generally have issues after I eat Asian cuisine. read more

Don Chicken was the meal I never knew I was missing out, on until today! First time customer, I tried the Combo B selection. Upon each first bite of every item, my mouth kept watering from the delicious flavors. The penultimate was their chicken wings (I had them plain-no sauce). I wish I had ordered more. I was sad when I looked down and my all food had disappeared (into my belly)! Truly make a point to visit this restaurant and try many options. There are convenient self serve order tablets at the counter when you walk in. The woman working front of house was so helpful and gave me suggestions on customer favorites to start with! There is more than just fried delectables. They have salads, ramen, rice bowls, and vegan menu items! You will be making plans for weekly return visits. read more

DON Chicken - Combo B: 5 wings, mashed potatoes, corn cheese balls, 2 fried dumplings, and small side salad. - Chicken Shop Near Me - Rockville, Maryland

We ordered pickup on the way home and the food was ready at the perfect time. The staff were extremely friendly and made me feel at home the moment I stepped in. Literally had my food within a minute and was on the way home. We got the whole soy garlic chicken. Even after reheating, it was still amazing! Crunchy, sweet, and deliciously full of umami! read more

I am not a local; I'm from LA and happened upon this place while in town. I am incredibly upset, as this was the BEST breaded chicken I have ever had! The breading was crispy, the chicken was juicy, and the sauce was delicious. Most impressively, the breading was so crunchy that when I ate it the next day, it retained its crunch! Truly a transcendental chicken experience. The service and ambiance were decent. They were in the middle of a menu change, so it was a bit confusing to order the first time, and some items on the menu were actually no longer being served. The prices are fair for everything except the fried oysters. The fried oysters are actually a STEAL! I paid $9 for 8 fried oysters, which is an insanely good price for freshly prepared oysters. Out of all of the restaurants I tried during my time in Maryland, I will miss DON Chicken the most read more

This place is super clean and the staff are friendly. Great flavor and crunch to the wings we ordered and the sauces had the right balance of spicy sweetness. We also got the Ttebokki which was really good. The prices are a little higher than I am used to but the location justifies it in King Farm. They also have a selection of ramen and a machine that dispenses water at the right temperature to make it on demand! read more

the chicken is amazing and the carry out process is friendly and fast inside is modern and casual. the location is walkable from a good swath of king farm read more

To me, it is odd to have the sauce separated from the chicken when I got the food to go. I understand that probably the intention is to make sure the chicken stays crispy. There is no description of 1 of the flavor as well(basically sweet orange powder). I got the garlic soy and purring. It didn't make me purr.lol Honestly I hated it... Menu also didn't mention avg# of pieces you will get,unlike other korean chicken place. They only list S, L size. Overall, I would say that it is not my fav korean chicken place. read more

Fantastic food and staff! Their chicken is perfectly juicy, fresh, and tender. None of the chicken was too greasy, and their non-chicken items like the ttebokki was the perfect balance of spice. And for anyone who hates eating old leftovers, TRUST when I say that you can eat the chicken straight cold the day after and it still somehow tastes just as good! The staff were all incredibly kind and patient, and the building itself is very clean, tidy, and organized. Plus, when you dine in, the food comes out surprisingly fast--I only had to wait around ten minutes after ordering for my food to come. Overall, the dine-in experience is wonderful and totally worth coming back for! read more

Good food, a bit overpriced. Menu offers a good variety of options and the quality was fine.

We got take out today. A small order of soy garlic wings, a small order of sweet and spicy wings and a side of baby octopus. The portions were generous and the food was delicious! read more

I have to say I was very pleased with the chicken and all the other items I ordered; as well as the wonderful staff who work there. I ordered the garlic soy whole chicken, the dumplings, and onion rings, and vegetable tempura. everything was very flavorful and perfectly cooked. the sauces to dip them in were excellent. I also ordered the tempura vegetables. It comes like a potato pancake and had a really neat flavor. I definitely will be going back. I highly recommend trying it for a local restaurant. read more

We ordered the soy garlic wings and onion rings. The generous portion of wings were still very crunchy when I got home 15 minutes later. They were delicious and had the perfect amount of sauce. The onion rings were large, plentiful, and also very good. The seasoning powder has a sweet cheesy flavor, but is not overwhelming. The wings were prepared quickly. The server was very nice and gave a sample of two other sauces. She recommended that the box of wings remain open for a few minutes to stay crunchy. I'm very happy to have such a good Korean wing place close to home! read more

DON Chicken - Soy garlic chicken and dumplings - Chicken Shop Near Me - Rockville, Maryland

Chicken was great! We got hot spicy, ppurings, and soy garlic chicken. They sides are great too!

This self service Korean fried chicken restaurant is located in the town square of Kings Farm. Previous restaurants in this location has been disappointing so I am super thrilled that DON Chicken just opened! We tried the original, soy garlic, sweet and spicy and the Tteokboki. Soy garlic was definitely my favorite sauce and the Tteokboki was excellent. I usually don't like sauce on my fried chicken as most places smother it with sauce which takes away the crunch, however, it was lightly covered in this sweet and savory sauce. I will definitely come back! read more

I don't get it why they need to charge you extra when you pay with credit card or debit cards. This place already is charging a lot more than what the food is worth . The chicken is dry, is too salty very greasy. And too expensive for what you get. I'm not going back there again!! read more

Had cheese tteokbokki and regular bone-in wings. Very delicious, this is my second time coming. I did pick up this time and food was still crispy when I got home. The first time I came I ordered in with a friend, a bit of a wait time but in my opinion it's worth it. Even the small is a really good chicken portion and I could not finish it myself. Staff is very friendly, especially the one older woman; very sweet! A little expensive but what isn't these days and portions and taste make up for it in my opinion. Will be returning :) read more

This my new go to spot! The Soy Garlic chicken was amazing... also tried the Kalbi wings and Cheese Snowing chicken. Both very, very good, the right kinda crisp when biting into. Want to try the others. Will recommend!! read more

As a local in the neighborhood, my family (2 adults and 1 child) and I were so excited to try. We were blown away by the flavor. The Soy-Garlic and Spicy chicken was phenomenal, with the soy garlic getting raving reviews from my 5 year old. As an afterthought we decided to try the Tteokbokki and oh boy, it was absolutely delicious. Hard to imagine going to Bonchon now. Probably going back to don Chicken for more tonight read more

Great Chicken! Ordered fried chicken to go. Very tasty, crispy,and freshly fried. I wish they'll create an order of mix chicken parts besides the order of just drumsticks, or just all wings or any of the same. Other than that, the place is great. Give it a visit. read more
