We love BonChon, but I'm not sure we will ever go to this location again. Since when does BonChon charge for ranch with the chicken? Waiter was over stressed and very anxious. He warned us there were "ten" people in front of us as if he was hoping we would leave. He seemed very frustrated when we asked for a water refill. Food was fine. Customer service was terrible. We will drive to other location when we want chicken. read more

Bonchon Leesburg - Seriously BonChon? Charging for ranch ? - Chicken Wings Near Me - Leesburg, Virginia

Pretty sure this BonChon is closed but...I'll write a review anyway. I love BonChon, just not so much this Bonchon. It's not even the food. The food, in my opinion, is great. I always go with the Soy Garlic chicken strips. It's some of my favorite food around town. The lunch specials are great too. You can get fries, a drink, and an 8 piece chicken strip for $9, which, in most Bonchon's (and lunch places in general), is a steal. It's not even that the service is bad. The bartenders, waiters/waitresses, and other staff are nice and attentive. Here is where things go south. The owner is a jerk. I've actually cancelled orders because of the attitude I get over the phone. If I want extra spicy mayo, you don't tell me "one is enough", even when I offer to pay extra. You want a consistent customer? Don't try and rush me off the phone like I'm not trying to give you money. Maybe that's why you closed, cause you couldn't keep clients because they didn't want to deal with you. read more

When your food comes out raw and you complain to your server who in response says "so"? Literally did not get treated with one ounce of respect. The manager comes in and starts yelling while there are other customers at the restaurant and refused to take the raw food off our check. He persisted on yelling and snatched the check from us. Not even a fast food place disrespects their customers the way my husband and I were disrespected today. If only there was a zero star rating. Regardless we had to pay for our raw food while the manager caused a scene at our table. read more

If you're a fan of the tasty twice-fried Korean chicken then get your order to go and enjoy! The spicy sauce was just that, spicy! I enjoyed the soy garlic sauce much more. The Takoyaki and Shrimp Sumai were both mediocre, sort of like something you'd get out of the frozen section and then dressed up a little with a fancy garnish. It was barely worth the $7 price. I did not like the seating arrangements at all. The chairs are all metal and uncomfortable. The music is loud and reminiscent of the bar scene in Korea. I'd return for the chicken itself but on a take out only basis. If you want good Japanese or other Korean food, take a drive and explore better options. read more

New to Korean Fried Chicken? Please Read this first! Korean fried chicken isn't mass produced. It's never sitting on racks waiting for orders to come in. As soon as you order your chicken, expect a 25-35 minutes wait because your fried bird is being made from SCRATCH . If you're hungry and impatient, order an appetizer. We, Americans, have been trained to believe that fried chicken is as easy as ordering through a drive thru speaker. If you've ever fried chicken, it takes a while, about 20-30 minutes. The entire process for Korean fried chicken is designed to give you a less greasy, more crispy and juicy chicken. It's so crispy, the batter is an actual halo around the chicken. This is a cultural experience, people. Asian plates (meaning quantity) are smaller than their American counterparts but prices will be similar since Koreans tend to be rabid about quality. If you don't see other Asians eating at a Asian establishment then it's probably going to shut down soon. It means the quality and standards have not been met. In the spirit of learning about other cultures....if you want the attention of the wait staff then call for them. That's how it's done. Otherwise they tend to leave you alone to enjoy your dining experience. Anyone who's ever seen a Korean Drama will understand....am I right, people? Is this the best Korean Fried Chicken out there? It's not, but it's the closest you're going to get unless you go to LA or Korea. I'm giving this place 5 stars to balance out some of the negative reviews that were written from a lack of cultural understanding. read more

I don't usually write reviews but I spent over $70 for a big box of chicken wings and disappointed today. We bought wings so many times in this location and always satisfied before, super crunchy and tasted good. Today, I ordered the special 50 pieces, and as soon as I got home we ate the wings, very disappointed they are not crunchy at all and tasted very salty :(( read more

I like the decor. The interior is spacious and modern, almost as if the restaurant was converted from a warehouse. It's interesting seeing the pipes on the ceiling. The atmosphere gives off a hole in the wall vibe, even though it's situated in a suburban shopping center. The food was decent. I'm not Korean myself, so as an outsider, I thought the food was good. I shared half and half garlic soy/spicy chicken drumsticks with my parents. They were juicy and crispy, just perfect. I had the salmon salad. My father had the Bulgogi and my mother had Bibimbap. read more

Bonchon Leesburg - Two sauces ....spicy or soy garlic - Chicken Wings Near Me - Leesburg, Virginia

This place is hit or miss. Which is a shame because the food can be good at times. Unfortunately for the cost, IT SHOULD always be fresh and good, which it is not. The service is ok, but they can come across as distant. read more

I have been to many Bonchon's and this one adhere's to the company standard. I have tried a few things from here and all have been on point. Friendly and efficient staff. Would definitely recommend. read more

Terribly slow service. We are a party of two with more than half the place empty. We had to ask to be seated, waited 30-35 mins for 1/3 entrees to come out. Entree 2/3 came out when we finished the first and I'm writing this review while we wait for our 3rd entree. This is now 45 minutes in and we finally got our wings. The delay was apparently due to them changing out the oil. We got bulgogi- $17 for a small plate. Not worth it Onion rings were fine. Wings were fine as usual. Not coming back due to service. read more

I visited this BonChon Chicken location last night. Never again! It was a little after 7:00 pm and the place was nearly empty. One group of 6 at a table and 3 people at the counter (one person was getting her food as I sat down). I looked at the menu, placed my order, and signed the credit card slip at 7:17 pm. 1- It took exactly 25 minutes to get my order. Unacceptable considering the place was deserted. 2- Server never even looked my way in those 25 minutes and I was sitting right there at the counter. Not even to offer me water. 3- The people at the table (mind you, the only table with customers) had to come to the counter at least twice in the time I was there to order stuff from the server. 4- $21.79 for 5 chicken drum sticks and an order of french fries. Outrageous. Maybe they fly those chickens in first class from Korea... I suggest they try coach and lower the prices. 5- I chose the soy garlic sauce. Disappointing, you could hardly taste it. In summary: Expensive, tasteless chicken, and terrible service. Note: While I was there another customer had an issue with the service, refused the order, and asked for his money back... that is not my story to tell, BUT I did notice the attitude of the server throughout the whole ordeal and it was obvious she didn't care one bit, arms crossed, smirky smile. This place needs to get their act together asap or I don't see them lasting long. I for sure won't miss them. read more

I wouldn't know what this tastes like because I've tried twice to go here for lunch, typically between 11:45-12:15 and both times, there was absolutely no one working in the front of the house. I tried to shout towards the kitchen area and waited several minutes before giving up and going to NOKU for lunch instead. read more

I ordered take out for my baby sister's birthday in March 2021. When I called, they said the chicken order would be ready in 10 minutes, which was odd because usually, the chicken took longer (around 30 minutes, made to order). Chicken seemed old, wasn't crispy, and the batter was thick and doughy. Disappointing birthday meal for the kid. Picking up the order, everyone was nice and polite. read more

I really do love spicy Korean chicken. My wife is Korean. I've been to SK, and I've had unbelievable spicy fried chicken there. A little place that you would drive past 100 times and never notice it. A little Korean granny cooking the most delicious, fresh chicken, and bringing you large bottles of refreshing Korean beer. I have had something close to this at Bonchon. But... There is something dark, dingy, and depressing about this place. The service is consistently terrible. It's way too expensive. We ordered 10 chicken drums, a noodle dish, and we didn't even drink. It was over $50. Not only that, I really question the food quality. My wife felt awful after we left. And I had very bad...I'll spare you... I cannot recommend strongly enough that you not eat there... read more

My late aunt used to make this fried chicken in Korea and it was my favorite. I had always read about this place back in CA and always wanted to try it. Just happened upon this place while at Wegmans. So expensive, but it must be worth it. $16 for smallest chicken and rice which is extra. Cost more than my wife and two kids meals who went to Noodles. What is it with Korean resaurants and bad service? There are so many eating joints in the village that bad service will get you no where...there was like one other customer. Ok soy chicken was good but not $16 good. A bit too saucey and weird smell my kids wounldn't eat when tried to share. Its like korean version of buffalo wings for twice as much and 1/2 the service. Missing radish side dish and rice was like 1/3 cup for $2. Lowered rating for lack of value. Would not go back. read more

I love Bonchon and have been to almost all of them in Northern VA except for Leesburg one. We had a curve side pick up today and the process was simple & smooth. We got the large combo (half soy garlic and spicy) with side of raddish. I felt like the sauce was consistent with other locations. However I did hear their price has increased from other people and just didn't know how much but I do feel like it's gotten a bit pricey. They increase the price by 5-6 dollars and you get lesser amount of chicken. I assume this has to do with high demand of chicken and not enough in supply. Nonetheless I would like to go in and try other food when the pandemic is over. read more

I've been to Bonchon in Alexandria and Woodbridge and the chicken strips were freshly made, sizable, and delicious. THIS IS NOT BONCHON. The chicken strips at this establishment and the one in Herndon were the size of McDonald's chicken nuggets, chewy, and barely had the sauce on it. I truly believe this Bonchon cooks their chicken in a microwave. Don't go here. read more

Went to this location years ago, and the service, food and environment was very different than other locations. I remember unmotivated servers, stale food and dirty tables all around us. Now several years later, we decided to try again - as it is advertised as under new management. Give it a second chance? But this time with carry out. Looking at the downloaded menu, we realize that not only is it more expensive than the other locations, but at least 20% less food for more money. Located in Leesburg, I would have thought it would be reasonable priced or at least the same menu prices as the nearby South Riding location. Nope! This location was more expensive by 15% cost, while providing. 20% less food. We immediately canceled our order and drove to South Riding - mostly on principle. The poor guy who answered acknowledged that they are more expensive than the neighboring South Riding, and gladly canceled our order. Bonchon! You are only located 15 minutes away from South Riding - why would you price gouge customers like that! Under new management means you need to make back costs for taking over? Find a better way. read more

Our first mistake was ordering food ... then checking reviews! Noodle Soup had fat noodles and tough mushrooms. Husband ordered Bibim bop ? Which consisted of mostly rice, sparse meat and veggies-overpriced at $15. Requested one glass of water which had a funny moldy taste. When asked about it, employee said it came from a filtered tap. Time to change the filter! WE LEFT $41 lighter. Stay away from this place. read more

Don't be fooled by the "under new management." It's still terrible...possibly worse than before. They no longer serve bibimbap in a hot bowl (what's the point?) and the sauce comes in packets now. Service was also terrible and the food took forever even though we were the only customers. read more

After eating at and enjoying the sterling Bonchon I decided to try the leesburg one out. Big mistake. I order the 8 strips lunch special with soy garlic and fries. The waitress brings me a 6 piece combo platter. When I point out I order strip, she begins to argue with me saying that I was wrong and I ordered the combo, until I finally relented not feeling like fighting with the wait staff. As I'm eating the wings, something just tastes a bit off. I didn't notice it due to how dark it was at first, but upon closer look I noticed reddish liquid on my plate and what looked like a tiny bit of blood on pieces of the chicken along the bone of two legs. I mentioned this when I got the check and the waitress just kind of waved it off as nothing. I don't know if it was simply my uneasiness upon seeing the chicken, or an actual legit reaction, but ultimately my stomach started to feel unsettled a little while after and I ended up vomiting later that afternoon. I'll stick to the sterling Bonchon, and will check my legs before I eat next time. read more

I was excited when I saw this place had finally reopened but then quickly disappointed. I've been getting BonChon chicken strips for years and from different locations. The size is always consistent but this location is not. They renamed it to boneless wings but cost is the same as the larger strips did....that's odd? Smaller size but same price? That's a rip off. read more

I have eaten at Bon Chon chicken before but this was my first time at this location. My husband and I walked in because he has a craving for bon chon. We came on a Monday, Columbus Day to be exact. When we walked in I noticed that it was very dim and depressing in there. I saw a Christmas decoration, two lonely out of place glitter snowflakes in a potted plant; completely out of season because it's October. It was not very in here at all. I saw a man and two kids with him and a couple dining in. My husband and I ordered to go since I didn't want any Bon Chon that day because we have been eating Bon Chon so frequently that I was getting tired of it. The man who so can only assume was the manager asked us somewhat rudely if we were dining in or taking out. My husband couldn't hear or understand the mans thick accent so he asked politely and gestured with his hand to his ear to show that he didn't hear. The man repeated himself but with an attitude. I told him we were ordering to go, to which he then ushered us over to the bar to order. Once we ordered, a diner interrupted and asked for the channel to be changed to football. We are naturally curious people looked in the diners direction that was making the request and watched the interaction between the diner and the man/manager being asked the question. When we had refocused on what the manager, he had printed out our receipt and asked us to pay. Again his English is broken and his accent was thick so it was hard for us to understand him. When we asked for him to repeat himself he grew impatient and rude. He roughly jabbed at the receipt and said, " You pay!" The service here is terrible, I recommend that you go to any other Bon chon but this one. I understand that English is not his first language but if he chose to be work in the food industry he should learn some manners and customer service skills. I will never come here again. read more

I was passing through town and don't have Bonchon's near my new house so I decided to stop here on my way home. I ordered soy garlic chicken strips with coleslaw and their house fried rice plain my total was $29.46. I thought it was odd that the prices were more expensive than I was used to... I've always ordered from where I used to live in Manassas Virginia. I picked up the food and headed home when I opened the box my chicken strips were completely different than what Bonchon usually serves. The chicken was in tender form and extremely dry burnt to a crisp with little to no sauce when I bit into it it was rock solid. This is nowhere near my expectation for Bonchon let alone any restaurant. Being disappointed I spent good money on that I decided to try the fried rice to my surprise there was raw egg all throughout the rice! read more

Short Version: There are two Bonchon Chicken locations in NoVa that are worth going to. Centreville and Annandale. Bonchon used to be a magical and mystical thing. Something that was worth the 20-30 minute drive to Annandale or Centreville. Perfectly double (or is it triple) fried Korean chicken. Super crispy, HUGE wings and moist chicken that would have you wondering when you'd get to experience it again as you're finishing off the last wing. ...and then some more locations opened up. ...and this may be the fault of the Bonchon corporation for not fully vetting the new franchises that carry their name. But the fact remains is that the newer locations just stink. I've been to 6 of them in Northern VA, and as mentioned....there are two that are worth visiting. So, my take on the Leesburg location. Decor/Ambiance: feels like fast food, not a place that I would pop into for a drink and some wings, this place screams to-go or get out of here in 10 minutes. Food: compared to other wing places, it's OK, slightly better than average, but a little too greasy. compared to other Bonchon locations - big miss. Hopefully they'll work it out. I know it's a new place and they're probably still trying to find their stride, but right now, they're not there. Location: GREAT! It's close to my house and the Village at Leesburg is nice. Plenty of parking, bowling alley and movie theater nearby - it's a perfect spot. In summary, Bonchon is NOT overrated, but this location isn't quite up to par with the quality you'll find at other locations. read more

Good chicken. Spicy. Crispy. Their system was down so food was late but attendant was nice.

If you're craving some Bon Chon, I'd highly advise you to try a different location. Make that extra trek to Fairfax or Centerville, it will be better worth your time, TRUST ME. I was extremely excited that a Bon Chon had opened up close to home. Sadly, this Bon Chon location does not meet up to the other locations' standards. My table and I ordered the drumsticks and when they came out we wanted to cry. They were about half the size of the drumsticks at other locations and not very well flavored either. We also ordered the bibimbap which was lacking in the actual meat. Despite the disappointing food, the service here was super friendly. They were short on staff so we had to wait a little bit longer for our orders to be taken and food to be served but it wasn't so bad. I really hope this location fixes its problems soon because Leesburg needs a delicious Bon Chon in the area! read more

Love Bon Chon. I've been to the location in Centerville as well. Food at Leesburg was comparable to Centerville and the floor was nowhere near as slippery as Centerville. :) The menu in Leesburg is much larger than the one in Centerville. Either way, you can't go wrong here. Wings. Best in Va. Bulgogi wrap. Amazing. Salmon avocado ball. Great. I've tried many of the items on the menu and they are all delicious. My ONLY knock on this location is that it is missing my all time favorite pork buns. Centerville has these amazing little pork belly buns. It might be worth the drive to Centerville to get my hands on some baby pork buns. read more

This place is permanently closed. Store is removed from Village at Leesburg website... and there is eviction notice on the door. Please don't waste time going. I love Bonchon, not sure why it closed. There is Bonchon in Sterling/Dulles by Regal. read more

Terrible. These people really don't care what they serve you. Items missing from our order and chicken is burnt to a crisp.

Bonchon is delicious! Try their half & half fried chicken, comes with half spicy and half garlic soy glazed drum sticks! Today is my second day back in a row. Im so glad this place exists! Craig you need to chill "SOFT OPENING" get a clue! Special thanks to whoever brought this restaurant to this location! Im already addicted! ******************! read more

Went to the recently re-opened Bonchon today and was pleasantly surprised. Decorations and set up similar from when they were open before with the addition of a cute little kids' corner with a tv and some tables. Atmosphere was completely different from when I visited under previous management, with staff friendly and welcoming - person whom I assumed was owner even open the door for us when we left. Ordered the 3 different flavors of chicken in strips and on the bone - drumsticks were a good size - super crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Our favorites were the spicy and soy flavors. The other one called crunchy (i think) just so so...honey sweetness not balanced well with the salty taste. A little overpriced - 1 small strips, 1 medium combo, 1 pibimpab, 2 sides rice and 1 octopus dumpling cost over $80 with tip included. Regardless, will definitely go back next time I have a hankering for crispy spicy chicken! Much improved from before and much faster service! read more

I was super excited when I found out bonchon, was coming to Leesburg. Unfortunately this location completely misses the mark. They rarely seem to answer their phone for carryout orders. They are always understaffed. They are more expensive than the other locations and nickel and dime you for little things like sauces. On my third visit (and probably last for awhile) at least 1/3 of the wings I ordered were tiny. and by tiny I mean I've never seen tinier even at BWW. Three of them were the size of chick Fila nuggets. Seriously? I mean come on bonchon you're less than 6 months old and you're trying to build a business. This is no way to do it. read more

This was something we stumbled upon before a movie at the Cobb. Asian fusion is right up my alley, especially if Korean flavor is involved. The establishment was nearly empty but clean. Nothing over the top in decor. Staff greeted us immediately and seated us. If the tacos say spicy, believe them. I am a fan of heat, but this was all about heat and they forgot the flavor. My wife loves anything bulgogi flavor, and that was fine with her. All in all the food took a while to come out, considering how uncomplicated it is when you receive it. Was worth a trip. Unless I hear about some improvements, not worth a second one. read more

This restaurant is permanently closed. We tried to go on Friday, here was an eviction notice posted on the door. If you want Bon Chon, you have to go to the location in Sterling by the Regal Cinemas read more

So I preface my review with a cold hard fact - I love BonChon. That said, I might be a little biased. Today's visit was my 1st to the Leesburg location. I was pleased with the decor and the amount of seating for the new location. The number of employees covering the dine-in guests was appropriate for the time I visited, which was around noon on a Monday. I've had BC before so I kinda know what to expect. Today, we went with the 10 count strips (half and half), which my son and I promptly devoured. We also opted for the fries, with a side of the spicy mayo (yum). The chicken was properly cooked for Bon Chon and consistent to other BC locations I've visited. Yes, they do fry the crap out of their chicken.....so if you don't like that, then you should probably go elsewhere. Despite the fry method they use, the hot and soy garlic strips and wings they offer have plenty of flavor. Service was prompt and the waitress attentive. She kept our glasses full and checked on us regularly. While today's visit to the Leesburg location was terrific, I have visited the Herndon location as well and my satisfaction rate there is closer to a 3.0 - 3.5. If its a succulent chicken breast you're after, then keep on walking - Firebirds or one of the other gourmet joints may better suit you. If you want to treat yourself to some tasty fried chicken (above that served at Green Turtle or TGI-Friday's), then Bon Chon is definitely worth considering. read more
