Although I have seen a decline since COVID, Bonchon - Centreville with Robin at the helm as manager may be making a return. Without going into details of my order on 8/3, I want more to tell you how Robin ameliorate my last order today. I called, spoke to Robin, and explained my continuing dissatisfaction with BC since COVID. I detailed the shortcut taken on my order resulting in Robin not only wanting to make my experience 'right', but the steps he's taking to ensure the BC experience, what once was years before he joined, is still what he hopes it return. I can only hope the family is back involved and not just private equity as every restaurant has worsened once PE gets involved. Let's all pull for Robin. read more

I've been a longtime supporter of BonChon for over 13 years. I'm noticing a big decline at all or most of the locations. Wings are tiny now, even though they already cut back on amount of wings you get. It's either not as crunchy or overcooked or a combination or has a taste of overused oil. Sadly, this may be my last time. read more

Bonchon Centreville - Korean Near Me - Centreville, Virginia

I placed an order through DoorDash and the driver served my food very quickly!! I was very happy with it! I ordered the Japchae with no peppers, no carrots, and no onions, and it was absolutely delicious!! I also ordered the 12 piece mixed with a classic crunch and that was also very delicious and with a side of ranch for dipping. It came with two sides of coleslaw, which was also very delicious! Everything was extremely fresh! I also got a side of the MoPo corn with mozzarella, and that was absolutely phenomenal!! I will definitely be ordering from here again and again!! read more

Bonchon Centreville - Korean Near Me - Centreville, Virginia

Very casual dining with lots of parking but it does get busy during warm days. Bulgogi fries were fire but the chicken we ordered wasn't the best I've ever had. Chicken either was cooked in too high of temp to get the crispy skin or else it was older chicken as it was very tough. Flavours were nice for the soy garlic which is darker than I'm used to but it wasn't what I was expecting good/bad???. Also had the new original crunch which I think I preferred. Service was fast and friendly. But the place could use some good cleaning as the seats were dirty and table was super sticky... Overall, I hate to say it, but I think there's better to be had for your dining dollars out in NOVA read more

BIG KUDOS TO OUR SERVER, working the whole front floor by herself!!! I have been coming here for years! Came here last night with my sister for dinner. We walked in and noticed how there was only one person working the front. She was serving all the tables in the restaurant, helping the guest that at the counter with ordering and pick ups, answering the phones and taking orders, curbside, running food, etc. She did it ALL! I felt horrible with guest coming in non-stop and phone that just kept ringing. Absolutely so much kudos for doing what she did, doing it with a smile and positive attitude. A guest walked in all angrily, demanding why no one is answering the phone, when clearly seeing her running around by herself. Truly shame on him!!!! She handled it so well apologizing and telling him she was going to take care of him immediately and that she is working by herself in the front. She took such good care of my sister during our time there, the food all came out accurately and timely even for how busy they were. Our seasoned fries came out perfectly! Super nice crispy outside, yet soft potato goodness on the inside. Our Spicy Traditional Wings were also on point. Love the nice sweet and spicy bonchon sauce. The wings were the perfect crunchy goodness, and the meat was juicy and tender. read more

Boneless wings are not actually chicken - it's basically a Dino nugget that's been tossed in spicy sauce. Oh and it tasted like spicy rubber. Caveat Emptor. read more

Food was amazing as always~~~ I've been coming to bonchon for years after years. I love eating the signature wings with the radish. Server was amazing. Kudos to him for taking on all the tables by himself. Environment was okay- a little too bright for my liking, dimming down the lights would be awesome. Felt like hospital lights.

Been coming here for many years and has always been great. Not sure if ownership has changed but man this place has changed. Ordered 20 boneless and like 3-5 of them were like the size of peanut m&m. Ordered pork buns. Which used to be my favorite. Usually a pretty big piece in each bun (3) and super tender with a lot of flavor. This time maybe it was one bite, not tender at all, just totally disappointing for $14. Even the wings we ordered were so much smaller than they used to be. Can't tell you how disappointed we were. So many more great food options in that area to choose from. read more

So disappointed with the food portions. I ordered bulgogi and the combo 3. I'm a small girl and it did not fill me up with the tender combo. It was $13.99 but still, it should be considered as a meal, felt more like a snack. The bulgogi was so small too! It didn't come with any side dishes which other places give out for free. Also, remember to ask for utensils. I understand restaurants want to save money but like if it's not going to be in the bag, ask me! I found out there was no utensils after I arrived to work so I had to drive back to ask for it. Just feel like they are being so cheap, there should be an option to say no utensils when you order rather than just not putting it in the bag and assuming I will be going home to eat. read more

Can you go wrong with Bonchon? I say not! My SO and I were craving wings, and we went in when we were hungry!... let's just say our stomachs did the ordering lol For two people we ordered a half and half large order of wings (24 pcs), seasoned fries, and kimchi bacon fried rice. Everything was really good but we maybe finished a quarter of each thing. Everything came out hot, steaming, and fresh. Beware, if you can't tolerate a lot of heat then you're better off eating just soy garlic. I would definitely recommend getting the bacon kimchi fried rice; it pairs well with the wings. Just writing this review is making my mouth water for bonchon again! read more

Bonchon Centreville - Wings (half spicy / soy garlic) - Korean Near Me - Centreville, Virginia

A local favorite and i had to come check it out! I ordered the the bibimbap and the soy glaze fried chicken. I thought the bibimbap was fantastic and flavorful. The fried chicken, i will admit, was not my favorite i thought it didn't have a lot of sauce to it (but that is just my preference) however, my friend that came with me really enjoyed the fried chicken! The service here was awesome, Overall i would recommend anyone that is interested in coming here. This place is located in one of the shopping plaza in Centerville and has plenty of parking out. The restaurant is a local favorite so it was definitely pretty busy when i came here but the wait was not long at all. read more

My fam loves Soy garlic chicken breast/wings. We make sure to pick up an order when in town. Last time hubs and I came in to eat for lunch. Ordered pork bunds since I was not too hungry. It was meh, I don't remember buns served with coleslaw with the pork. Hubby asked for the boneless, was not too thrilled when they brought out popcorn chicken. What he meant was the boneless chicken breast. Ordered 2 8 piece boneless and 8 piece wings for pickup a few days later. Def much better but rice had gone down in quality. Still love bonchon. Can't wait to come back. read more

Bonchon Centreville - a close up of a bun on a plate - Korean Near Me - Centreville, Virginia

Solid Korean fried chicken place. I ordered the small half and half combo which can with the side of kimchi coleslaw, regular coleslaw, or pickled radish. Flavorful and juicy. However, unlike other places, the container wasn't labeled or well vented for the chicken. There is a dedicated entrance and exit. Everyone wore masks and there is a barrier separating dine in from people picking up takeout. Parking immediately in front can be crowded, but there is plenty of parking further out near other stores. read more

A classic korean fried chicken place in the NOVA area. The skin is also SO crispy and so flavorful. In the past, they allow two sides. Now, they only give out one side :( My family and I always get the soy garlic chicken and the spicy chicken. Both are extremely flavorful. You need a pretty decent spice tolerance for the spicy flavor, because it gets my nose runny sometimes haha and I love spicy food!!!! Service is pretty good, but my family typically takes out. The chicken takes awhile to cook to achieve that crispy texture, so it is much more convenient to call ahead and take out. read more

Yessssss!!! Best wings. I get half soy garlic and half spicy every time. This particular store's wings far exceed all the other area bonchons. I like to pair my wings with pineapple dole whip (when available) at the sweet frog next door. I'm a bit bashful to say that I haven't tried anything else but the wings are on repeat for sure. read more

It's been so long since I've been to this place but I have never seen this much change. Unfortunately, I am not coming back. It was such an odd experience after not being there for so long. It was Sunday after the lunch hour. Sunday football game was on so they had nonstop takeout orders over the phone and walk-in. Few things that I noticed. One of them was their interior design changed. It was brighter and warmer than before. They have REALLY limited seating. I was at one of the 4 tables that were available. One staff at the bar was taking care of serving food and drinks at the hall, and another staff at the register was acting as a host at the same time taking care of placing takeout orders and completing the takeout packaging. I understand that due to their limited space, the manager should also minimize their staffing. However, it was not due to understaffing The server was just not attentive. I had to wait for a long time to get refills on my beverages. I watched The quality of food was not so great as it used to be. I was waiting to get my check but while I was waiting I was able to observe how the server was not paying attention to the tables. The food quality is not as good as it used to be. I don't really know what is it but the meat is dry, and fries..... man... $4.50? I shook my head when I saw them. The overall experience was disappointing :( read more

Awesome awesome chicken!!! This was my first experience and I completely understand the BonChon obsession!!! Worth every penny of crunchy, juicy, spiciness. Loved the spicy garlic above the regular soy garlic, didn't try the sweet crunch but will next time! Double fried and delicious. They also have a cooler full of interesting and different canned alcoholic beverages for purchase if you'd like. The menu is extensive and contains other items than chicken, but I would highly recommend the chicken!! The bulgogi tacos were great as well! 11/10 recommend!! read more

For those of you who do not know or have tasted the bonchon, its fantastic crispy wings that are very different from the American variety of fried chicken. The outer skin isn't dripping in some sauce or super breaded but instead it's thin and crispy. You can choose among an assortment of flavors. When they say its a hot wing, they're not kidding so don't take it lightly. The soy garlic is my go-to. Tbh the only way to explain this phenomena is to go here yourself. The drumsticks take longer to cook than the wings so I highly recommend just getting the wings. They cook faster and have a better skin to meat ratio. If I was given a last meal, bonchon would be at that table. It's crispy, its delicious, its bonchon. read more

Bonchon Centreville - Korean Near Me - Centreville, Virginia

This review is based on customer service, not the chicken. My wife and I decided to go and visit the Bonchon in Centerville. We normally eat Bonchon in Gainesville but because of convenience we decided to give this place a try. When we stopped in to place our order, we decided to make the order for takeout. Around 45 minutes later when returning to purchase our food it started raining, we asked the gentleman was it OK for us to just eat in the dining area since it was only one other person there. He told us no because once our order was placed for takeout we weren't allowed to eat in the dining area. He was extremely rude like he was having a bad day. I think management should really do something about this. We ended up eating in our car and the chicken was delicious read more

The atmosphere isn't exciting. There are tables. They have a bar. The chicken is cooked to order so you have to wait. They make it fresh and it's completely worth the wait. Truthfully their other food isn't anything that I'd order. This place is just for the fried chicken. We drive all the way from DC for this locations fried chicken. It's consistent. It's hot, crunchy and out of this world. Korean fried chicken in the bomb. The garlic ginger and the hot are the best combo to do half and half of. I typically get the radishes to cleanse the pallet. They are typically cold and crispy however on my last visit they were not cold. The service is mediocre and I'm pretty sure that the fountain drinks are off brand so again, stuck with the chicken and you can't go wrong. There's limited seating several long tables and 3-4 small tables. It seems that most of their business is take out however I always want to have my fried chicken freshly prepared so I always eat in. read more

I love Bonchon, but since it's a franchise, consistency can sometimes be iffy. I was hungry after a skydiving trip in Warrenton (review coming!) and Google Maps showed this location of Bonchon right on my route home. Parking is easy since it's in a strip mall. It looks like one of the older Bonchons, but it was still very clean and inviting. I sat at the bar. When I asked for a drink list, I was informed one didn't exist but they had a full bar and could make whatever. I ordered a cider; all they had was this dark cherry cider; I was apprehensive but it was actually really good. Onto the food. I went with my usual meal: small order of wings, all spicy, with coleslaw and steamed rice. The wings were on point and on par with any good Bonchon I've visited. The rice was kind of mushy and overly wet - this was not a pleasant surprise, I barely ate any of it. The coleslaw was pretty good. Overall, a solid location of an awesome franchise. Would definitely come back! read more

Bonchon Centreville - Small spicy wings, coleslaw, steamed rice. Everything was awesome except the rice. - Korean Near Me - Centreville, Virginia

I really like taking people who are unfamiliar with bonchon to this place when they visit. The chicken is just fantastic. I recommend getting the soy garlic sauce as opposed to spicy or half and half, as the spicy sauce loses some of the flavor that I love so much in the soy garlic. When it comes to the rest of the menu, there are some solid options, but I typically have the best experience when I just eat wings until I'm stuffed. Understand that this place has one gimmick that it does exceptionally well and that the rest of the menu has little impact on my experience. The chicken's just that good. read more

Bonchon Centreville - Cleanliness is questionable at this branch. We had a steel wool embedded in the chicken. - Korean Near Me - Centreville, Virginia

If you've never had Korean fried chicken you need to come here and try it! Compared to American fried chicken..the Korean style has a much thicker and crispier skin and has a sweet salty glaze to it (if you get the soy garlic). When you place your order here for the chicken, you can expect to wait 30-45 minutes as they do cook to order. It comes out fresh and burning hot. A large order is $20 and is enough for 2 people as the pieces of chicken, especially the drumsticks, are huge. When it comes to the chicken my favorite is the soy garlic. You can also do half and half to try out the hot style. Fair warning though...the spice level is high up there even for those who enjoy spicy food. However, you do get side orders of cole slaw and radish which can help dissipate the heat. So if you've never had Korean fried chicken before..check this place out and you won't be disappointed! read more

I am now a fan! I first tried Bon Chon in NY and left a bit dissatisfied. The portions were on the smaller side and the prices were steep. The Annandale location, which is now closed had horrible service. This location has been great so far. I have come to the conclusion that I should place my order To Go and get their Large Combination Wings. The employees taking my order are great. They are friendly and quick. I call 30 mins ahead and by the time I arrive, our order is ready. It's great to surprise friends and family with Bon Chon Chicken. Their chicken is very addicting. So lightly crisp on the outside and juicy within. Their Spicy has a kick but for some reason you keep wanting more. If you're not into a lot of spice, the Soy Garlic is where it's at. It is my favorite sauce and madd good. Each chicken order comes with one complimentary side: Coleslaw, Kimchi Coleslaw, White Rice, or Brown Rice. Their Appetizers are delicious, definitely try the Seasoned Fries and Pork Buns. read more

Food: 4/5 Service: 3.5/5 Before I start my review- HOW YOU GONNA CHARGE FOR EXTRA MOO?? I ordered (take out) a large box of chicken and asked for extra moo (radish) and apparently, they are now charging $2 for extra. It comes with 1 container and extra (2nd) is free, but the next container (3rd) is $2. First, I really hate when restaurants start charging for things that were once free (free since it opened several years ago, I might add)-- I think it says a lot about a restaurant when they start nickel and dime-ing things (LIKE MOO) AFTER they are successful and open a 2nd and 3rd location. Secondly, I think that a large order of chicken wings should come with 3 free moo because that is the spicy chicken to moo ratio that makes sense. Ok, anyway, This place is my 3rd favorite KFC (korean fried chicken) restaurant. I actually think that both the spicy and soy-garlic seasoning is slightly jja (salty), just for my liking (which may explain the need for extra radish). Restaurant service is most decent (but not great) compared to other korean fried chicken restaurants- it might be because the staff or management is more Americanized. Random side note: Tried the salmon ball appetizer random the other day and it was actually kind of good. It might get a little neukkihae (overly creamy?) after awhile because of the mayo- you know what might fix that? Some thinly sliced jalapeño. You're welcome. read more

I had a chance to eat here with friends. We had been driving all day, and at this point I had eaten four meals in four different states....but this place was very good and awoken my taste buds! The restaurant is very clean and has a very minimalist vibe to the decor. There was a nice buzz to the restaurant.....we noticed lots a people having a good time. This is always a plus when visiting a new spot. The service was very good and the food came out in a reasonable amount of time. Our friends ordered since this was 'their town' and boy did they know what to get. We tried the zuchinni fries, bulgogi and two orders of the wings.....one soy garlic and one hot. The zuchinni fries were nice and tasty....crispy is always a good thing for me. The bulgogi was good as well. My wife always likes a 'control' dish that she can eat that is not spicy. It was good, but if I want bulgogi, I will probably go to a place known for that. The real star was the wings. My first bite of the 'hot' wing was......'WOW' that's Hot! I immediately downed a whole glass of water. It turned out that I just ended up with a freakishly spicy hot wing. I was worried that I wasn't going to be able to keep eating them,but my second one wasn't too bad. The soy garlic was awesome as well. Really good flavor and the wings had that incredible crunch that comes from double frying (yes)! If I am in the area again, I would go back.....I am not really a fan of wings, but these converted me! read more

Ordering ahead about 30-40 minutes is a MUST whether you are eating in or carrying out. Unless you don't care about waiting an hour for your food but I don't want to sit there. Bon Chon Chicken has flavor like no other chicken place you have been to. It's so crispy on the outside but juicy and tender on the inside. The first bite - when you jear that crunch is a burst of flavor with the juice flowing down your chin. Soy Garlic is amazing with a sweet and sour taste. I'm not a spicy person and I've tried the hot flavor and I start crying and tearing up. (Maybe I'm a baby?) But if you like hot and spicy foods, you will enjoy the hot flavor. The seasoned fries are delicious and seasoned perfectly with every fry. The coleslaw is delicious also. It's flavorful and has a bit of tang to it. The service is good on the weekdays but the weekends get so busy. It's better off calling ahead and taking it home. This location is definitely less busy than Annandale (my favorite) and Fairfax. read more

Came here around 12:30 on a Sunday. The place is clean and trendy not too bright and it has nice size TVs. We were greeted and assisted immediately. Wasn't really busy or crowded in here. Our server was very nice and friendly. The food came and didn't take long. I like that the server told us the food is cooked right on the spot so could take about 20-25 minutes but the food came quicker. I got the chicken wrap and my fiancé got wings (thighs and huge legs) he got a side kimchi that was complimentary. The food was very good and the wings were great. The wrap was not too heavy or over seasoned it was light and the wings were crispy to perfection. Omg! The best fried chicken ever. The only thing that kind of threw me off was how large the chicken legs were all I could think of was hormones injected in that chicken. The legs were huge lol. The thighs looked normal size so I munched on those. Would I come back ? Absolutely. The food is great!!! read more

This Bon Chon has super friendly staff and is almost as good as the Fairfax location. It is located in a strip mall in Centreville right off of 29 with ample parking and is pretty easy to find. The restaurant is on the small side, there is a 5 seat bar and a few chairs in front of the cash register where you can wait for a table or your to-go order. Since we had to wait for a 6 top to open up, we placed our order prior to sitting down. When our server came to greet us she went over our order with us and got drinks and aps. Since we ordered in advance, it cut our wait time about in half--which was nice. I did notice that a couple of our drumsticks were a little more dried out that I would expect and slightly less sauced, but the flavor was still good and most of our order was perfectly juicy and tender! I'm not a huge fan of their fries, even the seasoned ones are pretty boring without the special spicy mayo; like they aren't salted at all. But, the dumplings and kimchee coleslaw are fantastic! The pork buns are pretty good, they are beautifully presented, but can be messy to eat. Overall it satisfied my craving for Korean fried chicken and I think this Bon Chon is A-OK. read more
