“ This is a bistro version of Korean food but it is surprisingly good, if not authentic. Christmas shopping at PG PLAZA leads to the inevitable chorus of "I'm hungry" from my kids who are always angling for a way to eat "out" food. After considering our options, we settled for Bonchon as likely a more healthy option. Wrong. We walked in and the lady had an attitude. Knowing Koreans like Jamaicans always have an attitude, I persevered in telling her that we needed a table for 7. The restaurant was totally empty as it was a Wednesday night, and her furrow dropped even lower when I told the kids no Thai teas or boba at 7pm as this was dinner not a treat and it was too much sugar lol. We ordered 16 wings with soy garlic and spicy sauce, Korean tacos, chicken fried rice, vegetarian udon noodle soup with mushroom, bulgogi bibimbap and a chicken bibimbap. The long and short of it was, the food was good and most people cleaned their plate. They don't have a kid's menu so I usually have my 14 yo daughter and 6yo son share an entree because she's picky and he's greedy. My 10yo son ordered chicken fried rice which was MASSIVE. I gave his sister and his brother some rice, and he also had some Wings and one of his sister's tacos. I heard not a peep as he devoured every bite. It was a quiet meal. We do a lot of chatting at the table normally and it wasn't that late! My 17 yo son-who eats like it's his full time job - couldn't finish his bulgogi bibimbap ( or so we thought). He asked for a box and then ate it all out of the to go box. The 10yo got an extra lunch out of the chicken fried rice even after sharing with his siblings and my oldest daughter (20) got 2 full meals from her spicy chicken bibimbap. There were rave reviews on the spicy wings, Korean tacos with both soy garlic and spicy chicken and the chicken bulgogi. My son who ordered the bulgogi didn't rave but he did fully make a glutton of himself, so I'd say that speaks for itself. I had the noodle soup and it was massive. It made a comfortable three meals for me and the broth was so nicely seasoned- it would be PERFECT for being sick and ordering carry away. Overall, I think the bad reviews are for the service. She was efficient, the food was plated beautifully and it was all good. The only standout mistake was she forgot my daughter's order of kimchi and when she brought it, it had not fermented wholly and it was SWEET!!??!!!! The mind REELS. We did not enjoy it. If you like kimchi, maybe don't order it here lol. Overall 3.5/5 rounding up instead of down because she wasn't rude, just morose and terse, and the food was amazing. ”

“ We have gone here many times. We like the soy garlic and spicy chicken. We do not like any of the sides. The chicken is pricey. ”

“ We currently live in CA but my husband graduated from University of MD, and the DMV is home for us. I need a spot to host a surprise celebration and to gather our close family and friends. Bonchon was the perfect spot as I could order large portions and accommodate a large group of 60 people. Wendy was amazing. She answered all my questions and ensured that I was ordering the right amount of food. I ordered trays of rice, fries, japchae and soy garlic wings. It was the right amount for my group. Wendy and her staff ensured that my party was taken care of. She even offered to have pictures displayed on their tv screens while our party was going on. All in all, we had a great celebration with great food and company and thank you to bonchon, wendy and the staff for making sure the celebration went smoothly! Also, they validated parking for up to two hours with the garage across the street. ”

“ I've only ordered on DoorDash but omg.. the soy garlic wings are sooooooo good! The crunch is everything and the sauce is so tasty. I don't recommend getting the plain wings though. They don't have any flavor whatsoever. ”

“ Just had the new Korean bbq wings delivered from Bonchon and they were pretty good. They were a little sweet but very crispy. ”
