    Bulgogi Fries
    Charlie S.

    Pretty killer fast food. Korean fast food joint. My go to for fried chicken. Since the pandemic they've consolidated in the number of sauces but now offer more Korean food offerings (see the bibimbap fries, which remind me of kimchi fries I used to have at dak and bop in Houston). Service is pretty fast at 610 pm on a Friday, kentlands is busy but not crowded and slow. Ambiance: clean, brightly lit. Location is great, next to Java nation, kung fu tea and other places to hit up in kentlands. Eat here before going to the movies down the street!

    I've been to Bonchon multiple times before but never for lunch. Their lunch deal has to be one of the best, especially in today's economy! For $12.95, they give you 8 strips and any side. We also got a side of fried rice for $12.95, which is cheaper than their regular dinner price (but looks like their regular portion). We honestly didn't even need the extra side of rice...we were full from the strips and even had leftovers. I will definitely be ordering Bonchon for lunch more often!

    Four wings, two drums, half soy garlic, half spicy!

    First time trying tonight, online order, delivered by DoorDash. One order of 4 wings, 2 drums, half soy garlic, half coleslaw + spicy mayo; one order of spicy chicken Korean tacos and Takoyaki (octopus fritters). Easy online ordering and paying, order actually arrived 10 minutes before stated time online. Food was hot and SOOO good! I loved both the soy garlic AND the spicy chicken, but I think I agree with some, the soy garlic won my heart, especially dipped in a bit of the spicy mayo. The coleslaw was a good side, cooling down the spice from the spicy. Boyfriend LOVED the Korean tacos, liked the Takoyaki but not quite as fully. We will definitely order again, would like to try more from the menu!

    I'm new to the area so I haven't been eating as much, but when I do I scout out places based on my pallet at the time. Yesterday I was in the mood for some chicken wings and Bonchon popped up in my search. I was already nearby in the Kentlands neighborhood, a very trendy neighborhood to walk and check out various restaurants and shops. I ordered the Combo 4 wings 2 drumsticks, spicy and spicy garlic off l the dinner menu. It was very pricey for what you get in my opinion. Anyway, I got home and started eating the wings, then I got to the drumsticks, OMG they were the two largest drumsticks I have ever seen. I almost did not want to eat them, because all I could think of was this chicken had to be on steroids for them to be so large. I regret now not taking pictures to post but trust me when I say they were huge but delicious. It's a cute Korean restaurant with a full bar with TV and music in the background. Unfortunately, there isn't any outside seating but I can see this spot popping off in the Spring and Summer time because it's in a very affluent neighborhood for families to walk to and from home. I look forward to going back.

    Came here twice and did take out. They did not include my pickled radish that I even specifically asked for in my instructions. I shouldn't even be asking. It should already come with the strips. I asked on both occasions when I ordered. Needless to say I did not get it both times. Very sad. Bonchon also use to give rice now they charge like $2 for a small small portion. Like come on rice is cheap and your prices are ridiculously high. At least give me the radish or rice. The chicken strips were good at least. Still disappointed in their service.

    3.5 stars. So glad a Korean spot opened in the Kentlands. they have a good deal - family meal. Includes 12 wings, 6 drumsticks, 2 sides (we got fries and coleslaw), and fried rice. We ordered the meal on their website and came out fast In 25 minutes. My gold standard for Korean wings is BBQ chicken. You just can't beat it. Their tteokbokki is so spicy and good. Wings are money and fries good. Back to Bonchon. It has lots of potential. Maybe it will taste better at the restaurant. They don't have enough sauce in their soy garlic sauce imo. They are almost there! They don't even give daikon like all the other Bonchon's. It's a side item. On the plus side, wings are good size and less fatty then others. Fries were good same with coleslaw. Fried rice all I taste is soy sauce. No sugar or sesame oil. Meh. Thank you for opening here and anytime I'm craving for wings uptown in Gaithersburg, will get my fix here.

    Tough, chewy, dry, not crispy and certainly not worth $33.00

    A grave disappointment. Excited to order the 8 piece fried chicken strips and seasoned fries after seeing a television interview. Nothing like what I saw. I will not be back! Isn't fried chicken supposed to be crispy? This chicken was dry and tough (overcooked? Or is this the way it's supposed to be???) and although the seasoned fries were crispy they were way too salty! I had Korean fried chicken years ago in California and it was crispy and tender and I anticipated this local version to be just as good. But it was a total FAIL. Again, it was not crispy and it was tough and dried out. $32.90 including tax and tip for chewy and tough fried chicken tenders. I don't waste food. I brought home my $32.90 leftovers home and cut into cubes and mixed with other food to consume. The food was immensely disappointing and I will not be back!!!

Cheesling wings. I normally love these things, but I normally get them in boneless. I asked for them boneless to the person taking orders. I got home and realized I hadn't gotten boneless (also bone in wings cost a dollar more. Yes, I was charged for bone-in wings. I looked at the receipt.) Cheesling fries. These were ok, but I don't think the cheese powder added much (it was very sweet. Almost gross but bearable) to them next time. I'll probably just get the regular fries. I will continue to eat from here. But I will be contacting the store tomorrow about my wings not being boneless. The ambience was OK multiple televisions playing multiple different programs and a nice looking bar. Another problem was that Maps app says that this place is open till nine but my friends and I got there at 8:30 and the person working upfront said that we have to order takeout and they don't serve food in front past eight
