Bonchon

The nuggets are good and the sauce it's pretty spicy, so if you don't like spice beware. This is kind of like a fast food place, the nuggets and french fries are pretty good. But a little expensive for what it is.I think if you're walking by one and craving spicy chicken, it's a good spot to go. But it's a little more expensive than just casual eating.

I love bon chon chicken, but this location is the worst. Never have I tried a chicken that is so bone dry and not spicy at all. I feel like I ate a leftover chicken. There is something wrong with their powder, it's not sticky at all. The Arlington location is much better.

Bonchon is supposed to be known for great Korean fried-chicken, yet the food I had delivered today would sadly fall into what I considered really bad fried-chicken in general.The boneless wings were the saddest of all as they were truly so dry that many of them were rock hard and didn't have much of any chicken in them...this lead me to believe that they may have been old or sitting under warming lamps, but that's the last thing you expect from a place that prides themself on fried chicken, right?The traditional bone-in wings were slightly better as the soy garlic wings saved the review since they were pretty tasty (even tho fried too hard). The plain bone-in wings were the most bland wings I've ever had in my life (& I've had a lot of wings in my life).... Again not what once expects from an establishment that is all about fried chicken! So, I was disappointed with literally 75% of the chicken ordered (& still hungry because that chicken didn't get eaten).

I've tried a few other Bonchon locations so I decided to give the Reston one a try for lunch. I ordered online and it was ready pretty quickly for pickup. Staff was friendly. The interior is pretty small- only about four or five tables and a bar height table with no seats. The wings were decent- I went with a six pack, half and half for the sauce. The soy garlic was a little on the milder side than I remembered, but the spicy was just the right amount of heat. The drums included were huge- overall it felt like a giant portion size. The coleslaw was ok, too much mayo for my taste. The seasoned fries were woefully under seasoned, and needed slat and pepper badly.Overall a decent meal, and a bit on the pricey side as others have noted.

Chicken was amazing as always, great food and service!(Takeout order - Wings, Fried Rice, Salad, and steamed buns)

I'm a fan of this Bonchon.Picked up a medium soy garlic, with pickled daikon. Their chicken is juicy, flavorful, crunchy, finger lickin good. I drive 20+ minutes, PASS Bonchon Herndon (dear god please by pass Bonchon Herndon) to get this Korean fried chicken and it's SO WORTH IT. Quality is legit, price is average.5/5 - but only because I've had some BAD Bonchon it's practically my duty to steer you to the right one.

Like many, I was dismayed when Bonchon's chicken recipe had changed. So happy and excited to report that those dark days are definitely over and the OG recipe is back in full. Soy garlic strips, so good. Also my nephews and niece still enjoy the seasoned fries, while my sister always asks for the pork buns. We'll be back, I'm sure!

Popped in to try their fried rice. Ordered it without meat and headed over to Whole Foods to pick something up. The food was ready within the 10 minutes they projected, and it was still hot when I got home and opened it up. There's a lot of fried rice and it may be better with the meat, but for me it was a 2-3 star experience. I pulled out the sriracha and doused it with the sauce to help out the very subtle flavor.

Picked up the family meal which serves 4-5.The Cole slaw was a one serving portion and hardly could be stretched to serve two of us. Let alone the others.The chicken was ordered with two sauces, none of us could tell the difference between the two. As far as actual chicken under the coating, very minimal.Overpriced and flavorless. Will never go back.

Good is good. Prices are high. But the service is HORRIBLE. Me and my family come here often, but today was the worst. Called in advance, they didn't have my order ready, even after another 20 min. As of they forgot. I asked for a shopping bag and he never gave me one so I left. Terrible service.
