Bonchon on Capitol Expressway delivers crispy, flavorful Korean fried chicken, with soy garlic and spicy wings being standout choices. The battered-by-hand, twice-fried technique ensures a satisfying crunch, making it a go-to spot for fried chicken lovers.
Beyond chicken, the menu includes bibimbap, takoyaki, and bulgogi fries, though some diners find non-chicken dishes less consistent in quality. The restaurant can get busy, leading to longer wait times, and dining in may leave clothes smelling like fried food. Ordering takeout or delivery is a good alternative for those looking to enjoy the food without the lingering scent.
Service is efficient, though some guests mention occasional mix-ups with orders. Despite minor inconsistencies, Bonchon remains a solid choice for Korean-style fried chicken, especially for those who enjoy bold flavors and crispy textures.

The Spanish host said I wasn’t allowed to eat in the restaurant because I ordered for to go. There was only one table with customers. Apparently this manager is very strict and doesn’t allow people to eat inside without stating it prior.

The soy garlic chicken is everything!!

The chicken is a rip off, its so small that they dont even use bonchon logo boxes for take out order and give u a small brown box without logo instead. This is the online location that does that. They know they are ripping off and it would look weird to give the normal size bonchon box with such small pieces

Spent over $30 for a wing and drumstick combo and they gave me a side of coleslaw and barely put any in the container, maybe 4 spoonfuls. Two bites each for me and my spouse. I know times are tough for businesses but come on. No complaints about the chicken.

Been coming here for years. The quality has not changed at all, and our server this time around was super sweet. Great vibes, great flavor, can’t go wrong with a half spicy half garlic chicken strip combo.

If you have a very old car you go here to get parts. Don't trust the picture posted on the website. This place is dirty and for doers. People that like to work on things love this place. Sometimes you will get lucky and find a good part or rare part but most popular cars will be stripped right away. I enjoy coming here and working on my old beater. You can too. Just be aware that the part you are looking for fits, returns are for store credit only.

Since this place is closest to my house, I gave it multiple tries, hoping for improvement, but it has always been a TERRIBLE experience. This is the last straw. The chicken wings are consistently super dry and hard like rocks, making them impossible to eat. It always seems like they refry leftovers from the previous day.

OMG, the food was great! Awesome waiters they were very nice! The design was very calming and modern! First time too!
Vegetarian options: Edamame, coleslaw, veggie potstickers! (All we knew about)
Parking: Parking is all in front of the restaurant and somewhat around too!
Kid-friendliness: The dumplings and the popcorn shrimp (mini) are what my kids liked!
Wheelchair accessibility: Handicap in the front of the restaurant with no curb and seats are the perfect height for handicap!

Haven't been to Bonchon for a long time. Most visited ones down south. This one is a lot bigger. More seating, decent bar seating area. For the new 11.99 combo. Totally worth it. Fried, Korean donuts and 3 legs. OMG, how I missed the taste of Korean fried chicken. So crispy outside and so juicy inside. It was getting hot outside, this place is pretty cool inside.

Used to be great: huge wings and drumsticks, but shrinkflation had ruined the place.

Service is ok. Food seemed ok. It wasn't. Went home sick and threw up. Won't be. Coming back here. I think the food or lack of sanitation in restroom caused me to get sick and threw up afterwards.
