Ordered Popeyes on DoorDash and after an extended wait I got a message saying my order was cancelled due to “issues with the store”. Lucky me because I still had a fried chicken craving and found this option on DoorDash. I ordered the 15 drumsticks with Korean BBQ sauce. Sooo good!! Sweet with a little heat, the chicken still had crunch even though it was covered in sauce. The meat was flavorful and juicy. So so good.

I went for lunch with a friend about a week ago and will not be returning. The preset plates and glasses were dirty, and the table was sticky. It was genuinely unsanitary. We initially overlooked the plates, but when I noticed something inside my water glass, I brought it to the server’s attention. She was polite and offered to bring new ones, but then said that she couldn’t find other plates (what?).
We barely touched our food due to how uncomfortable we felt, but stayed to catch up. In hindsight, we should have left, but we didn’t want to penalize the server for what was clearly a management issue. I contacted the restaurant through their website before posting this review to give them an opportunity to respond, but received no reply.
I’m leaving this review to caution others and to alert management to a serious cleanliness problem that needs immediate attention.

If you’re a fan of crispy chicken, Bonchon absolutely delivers. This was my first visit, and it made a strong impression right away. The shop looks small from the outside, but once you step in, it’s surprisingly spacious. Clean, well-lit, and nicely laid out. Comfortable for dining in.
We were seated immediately. Our hostess, Amber, was very patient and helpful since it was our first time. We decided to order a little bit of everything, and that was the right move.
We went with the five-piece drumsticks, split half soy garlic and half Korean BBQ. The chicken is double-fried, which gives it an incredible crunch on the outside while staying juicy inside. The soy garlic was savory with a touch of sweetness and very well balanced. The Korean BBQ had more heat and bold flavor, coated in a sticky, sweet-spicy glaze that keeps you going back for more.
The meal came with coleslaw, which honestly surprised me. I’m not usually a coleslaw person, but this one worked. Lightly sweet, creamy, and refreshing. It paired well with the chicken and helped cut through the richness.
We also ordered the seasoned fries, and they were excellent. Crispy, well-seasoned, and topped with garlic, parmesan, and parsley that actually added flavor instead of just looking good. Easily one of the better fry sides I’ve had with fried chicken.
Everything came out hot, fresh, and clearly made with care. If you’ve never had Korean fried chicken before, Bonchon is a great place to start. I’ll definitely be back.

We love Bonchon, but the tastes in each individual store vary. Sometimes too salty and sometimes too bland. One star deducted for that. Otherwise we really enjoy it!
Food was bad and overpriced. Way too salty which was unfortunate because I highly recommended it to my friends since I loved my local location in DC. Much to my dismay it was disappointing and super embarrassing for me since I had suggested the place. The strips are tiny and hardly filling.

It is over priced but that’s not important. Food is nothing remarkable and service is horrendous. Get it to go if in mood for wings but no other reason to go there. Save yourself the time

First time ordering food from here and I wasnt too happy with it. The takoyaki were packed in a small unventilated container and turned to absolute mush. The bao buns were all split down the middle and a little pricey for only 3 of them. The corndog was very chewey and soft. Ah well, maybe they just had a bad day i'm not sure.
