    $1 wings
    Jimmy M.

    My Brazilian in-laws love fried chicken so I felt obligated to show them what Bonchon is all about. We pulled up for their happy hour special with one dollar wings and a very cheap lychee soju Martini and Japanese beer. I know it was happy, but I didn't think prices like that existed anymore, even for Monday night wings. I'd say the soy garlic was our favorite sauce, but you know with Korean fried chicken the focus is really on that crunch! That almost fish and chips like texture with the umami touch and a hint of sweetness... needless to say they were all very impressed and we had to order second rounds. The pork belly valve one was also a great price for a great size. This was nothing but value.

    I love this place. It's my go to spot for Korean Fried Chicken. Alot of folks would say there's better Korean fried chicken places around but to me, this place is it. The food is good and they have a variety of dishes besides just fried chicken. I normally go for the spicy but you can get half and half or just soy garlic. They have a nice ambiance for seating indoor and there's plenty of seating and bar seats as well. The staff are very friendly and welcoming and the service is great! Food comes out in a relatively quick manner even when there are many to go orders.

    Fried rice with chicken
    Julia

    I live nearby and have been meaning to check out Bonchon for a while! It's very relaxed dining with a QR code with the menu and you place your food order online. I'm honestly not sure why they can't have the staff come to your table for your order, but the staff were all very friendly. I ordered the chicken Katsu, which I thought was really delicious but could've come with another side besides coleslaw. Thought that was kind of a strange side option. But the chicken was perfectly crispy! We weren't as impressed by the chicken fried rice, the chicken wasn't as flavorful and more of a rubbery texture. I think the cucumber on the side was a little odd too. But overall we had a good experience and it's very clean inside, I'll likely return when it's warmer out and I can sit outside!

    The inside is never really busy. But the food is good. Highly recommend the bulgogi fries and their bao buns. I also tried the Korean corn and it was yummy but very cheesy. This is a great place to pick up food from or eat inside but be prepared for it to be kinda empty

    Not the best but not bad. Certainly not authentic. If you go, there's a free parking garage right behind the restaurant which helps. Staff are friendly and wait time for food is minimal. You'll most likely order and pay from your phone, although I prefer actual menus. Prices are a little more than I care for but somewhat reasonable. The setting is fair. Clean tables and comfortable seats. I opted for a fusion dish, the bulgogi fries. Size was appropriate and flavors were decent. My wife had the japchae. Again, food is not very authentic but fair.

    Bonchon has completely redefined what it means to dine out! From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with an innovative, streamlined ordering system that makes everything quick, easy, and surprisingly fun. No waiting around--just tap, order, and relax while the magic happens. Now the food... absolutely next level. Every bite bursts with authentic Korean flavor--from their signature double-fried chicken to the perfectly seasoned sides. You can taste the freshness and love in every dish. But whatever you do, don't skip dessert. Their freshly baked Korean donuts are hands down the best way to end a meal--crispy on the outside, warm and pillowy on the inside, with a sweet finish that dreams are made of. Run, don't walk. Bonchon is the real deal!

    Very dry chicken
    Se C.

    Very disappointed in the service for pick up order and the quality of the chicken. Went to go pick up an online order and the staff was rude and slow. One of the workers told me to go to the right to pick up the order, but no one was there, no cashier, no pick up person. Got 8 pieces of chicken strips half soy garlic and half Korean bbq. The chicken was very very dry as if it had been fried already and they just packed it into the take out box. Usually Bonchon chicken takes much longer for their order to be fried. Something seems off that the order was ready in 15 minutes. It was pretty dark inside. As a Korean fried chicken chain, this was a major let down. Paid $17.11 for 8 piece strips for reference. There are street parking spots outside.

    There is indoor and outdoor seating and you can easily get a seat. Staff is very friendly and there is a parking lot that is free with lots of parking. Korean fried chicken - half spicy and half soy garlic: there is nothing better than the crunch that comes with their fried chicken. Each piece has a lot of flavor and both are delicious. The spicy is spicy, so beware when ordering if you don't like the spice. Chicken katsu- good but not great. Comes on top of rice.

    Stopped in here after an evening performance at Twilight Tattoo. We were seated and visited promptly and placed an order for the garlic fried chicken, bulgogi fries and I think a side of Mac and cheese. The fries were hot and bulgogi was seasoned well and complimented the textures on the plate. The garlic fried chicken was slightly over cooked but still tasty with a nice balance of crunchy batter and tender meat. The Mac and cheese was a creamy blend of spice and cheese. Bonchon is a good go to for an easy and quick meal.

    This place was definitely a hip place to eat at. When we came the traffic was slow but the service was impeccable. I loved how 90% of the restaurant was surrounded by windows so you could see out as yiu ate and all the natural light. I ordered the chicken katsu which was absolutely amazing with this tangy Zang sauce to dip it in. It also came w a side I chose kimchi coleslaw which was spicy and delicious. My husband got bugolgi fried rice and the flavors were to die for. My girls got wings. One got the spicy one which is HOOOOT!!! and then the soy garlic flavor wings was to die for. A little bit of both world's of the garlic and soy was in there and the wings was sooooo crunchy!! Over all amazing experience! Wish we had one in daytona!

    It's a fun place to catch up with friends on budget. We just walked in, it wasn't so full. Food was good, not the healthiest options but tastes great. We happen to come during their happy hour, which is a great deal! Highly recommend. Happy hour drinks are very cheap and decent beer & wine to go with your fried chicken and skewer. Service is very slow, but if you're not in a hurry, It's not bad. I would recommend this place, especially their happy hour.

    So bad!!! I was visiting the Annandele Bonchon many times. But this Arlington Bonchon is horrible. The size doesn't meet with the price.

    My girlfriends and I had dinner at Hawkers Asian Street Food last night and it was absolutely…read moredelicious and perfect. The decor is fun, playful, and really creates a great atmosphere. The food all comes as small plates so it's perfect for a crowd that likes to order many dishes and share everything. Our server was very friendly and even brought us a complimentary espresso martini which was so good!

    Located across the street from the Ballston Mall…read more We came late morning on a Sunday and the restaurant, both inside and outside, was pretty much empty of customers. I wasn't happy when the hostess tried that stupid restaurant trick where they try to seat you at the worst and smallest table (which did not have an umbrella) when most of the other tables are available. But I insisted on, and received, a better table. For a starter we ordered the Pok Pok wings, hoping that they were like the amazing and wonderful Pok Pok wings that were at the now long-gone Andy Ricker Pok Pok restaurants in Portland, OR. Hawker's Pok Pok chicken wings were not like the Portland Pok Pok wings but nonetheless, Hawker's Pok Pok (party) wings were excellent. We loved the flavors and the crispy battered texture. We also ordered the Crispy Wontons. These gingery babies were pleasantly plump. For an entrée, JP ordered the lamb udon and thought it was delicious. I ordered the chicken and shrimp Phad Thai. It also was tasty, perhaps a little on the spicy hot side. Lastly, I ordered a pork belly bun (the order comes with two steamed buns). These came with mustard greens. I thought the buns were just okay. The steamed buns should've been more fluffy and the five spice seasoning on the pork was pretty overwhelming. But yet, considering that service was decent and there's enough good stuff on the menu, we will be back.

    So glad this chain finally hit the DMV. The restaurant features a rooftop and comfy seating. My…read morefriends and I decided to celebrate our friend's bday with some quality cuts of A5 from their premium menu. Some of our favorite menu items include the sukiyaki shabu shabu, lobster roll, wagyu foie spoons, A5 Japanese Wagyu sandwich, Wagyu fried rice, toro sashimi and the matcha crepe cheesecake. What we really enjoyed about this place was the quality and speed of service. You could see the marbling in the buttery toro and fatty A5. We had an extra side tray to put all of our empty dishes. Highly recommend keeping an eye out on the tablet timer so you can constantly reorder once the queue clears. I'll definitely be back to try some of their à la carte menu items. The premium menu was plenty, but we did see diners order from the other menu.

    Date Day with my boo. We went to the spa and then decided to stay in Virginia for Sushi…read more I felt tricked from Instagram and TikTok, which raved about this place. First off, if you miss the parking lot, it was a bit confusing so we ended up making a circle before finding the additional parking lot further before the restaurant, but we did end up parking in the lot next to the restaurant. Getting in and out of that space was not easy with that annoying red light right at the corner. When we walked in, we were greeted right away. Asked if we had reservations which we didn't but they did take a bit of time to seat us. Upon sitting down, we walked by the mini buffet of appetizers and desserts, along with the cooler of drinks. (The cooler was not cold, but held room temperature drinks, I had to ask for cups of ice which took a while) We sat and contemplated if we wanted to splurge on the higher package which we ended up doing any way because our neighbors who were also on a date and was there for the first time was testing the higher package also, so we went all out! There is a limit to how much you order and there is a 10 minute wait in-between each order and how many items you can order. Our server was very helpful and had walked us through the process. The cheesy lobster was so small, we ate it in one bite, and it's only one per table. The wagyu sandwiches were great, but lacked flavor. The creamy udon...was all cream. The best dish on the premium menu were the spoons of wagyu and toro, and the steamed clams in whatever broth. Shabu-Shabu with wagyu was okay. Broth flavor was decent, nothing overly memorable. I did like that it was all you can eat sushi and they had all you can eat Uni which is a plus, but you can tell the quality was not as great as expected. We didn't even bother with the rolls, since it would have limited us from the others, but then I wonder if we would have been better ordering the gazillion sushi roll options. They did great presentation-wise, but would I spend the money on the top package option? No. it was definitely a novelty dinner, something you try one time and say you've tried but maybe my expectations were high because of how I was sold on IG and TikTok. Even my boyfriend was upset with how I talked up the place. To top off the evening, I asked for matcha crepe cake and they brought me match cheesecake. I hate cheesecake. We did enjoy the hot sake! The place was busy and don't get me wrong, it's not horrible but I think I'm more upset for the price I paid for the quality I received. If the service wasn't decent, I would have given it less stars but maybe I came on a bad night and the Chefs were just not loving their cooking. Would I drive the hour and half to go back? Definitely not. I do hope they improve their quality and items. Just my experience here...
