“We were originally heading to the next store but saw this place was halal too. The food was excellent so was service. We didn't add the tip not knowing how it worked but for the hospitality we received it was well deserved. We will remember next time“

“Me and my kids are loved their chicken. It tastes so good especially the Cheesling Wings favorite, it is so crispy and have a lot of cheesling on every single wing. We ordered it every time.
And my husband said that the kimchi fried rice is also good. But it is very spicy 🌶 if you can eat spicy then you may love it .“

“The food was excellent and the service was amazing! Our very attentive server was there every time we needed him, and he brought out all of our requests quickly while minding the meat on the grill. Great experience, would definitely go again.“

The food was absolutely extraordinary. Every bite was rich with flavor and prepared with remarkable care and passion. It was a truly delightful dining experience that exceeded every expectation.

I honestly can’t remember the last time I felt this welcomed at a restaurant. The warmth, professionalism, and attention to detail made the entire experience unforgettable. Thank you for such outstanding service and an unforgettable meal. I will definitely be returning and recommending this place to everyone I know. Without a doubt, this was one of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had.“

“Delicious Food and it’s near me. New Favorite. And Recommended“

“We are new to the area, and absolutely loved this place for a quick bite! My husband got the spicy tuna poke bowl and I got the bulgogi japchae-yallll, it was so goooood. Lume punch drink was super delicious aswell. Our waiter was Matt, awesome service, great convo. All the staff, super friendly. We are glad we stopped by, will definitely go back with our kiddos.“

“Brought a party of 4 to Bonchon for the Tuesday $1 wing special and, as always, the wings were absolutely delicious. We ordered a large amount of wings along with cucumber salad, rice, and coleslaw. Unfortunately, the coleslaw never got brought out.

The food itself was great and the Tuesday wing special is honestly one of the best deals around. That said, the customer service could definitely improve. When our server brought out our 4 drinks, she placed them all on the opposite end of the table from where we were sitting, which came across as oddly passive aggressive and inconvenient. Also, throughout the meal, the server never once checked in to ask how the food was or whether we needed anything else — something that’s pretty standard at most restaurants, especially considering we eat here regularly.

Overall, the food quality and value keep us coming back, but the staff could really benefit from additional customer service training and better food service best practices.“

“I love Korean food but as a vegetarian, there are not many options in most northern va restaurants. This place has delicious veggie kimchi pancakes and vegan ramen. I wish there were some more options to add veggies to the ramen. It’s a very authentic place and I felt like I was getting a home-cooked Korean meal.“

“I love the chicken wings.“
