Bonchon Arlington Highlands

We love Bonchon! The chicken katsu, chicken sandwich, and beef bulgogi are absolutely delicious—always fresh and flavorful. We’ve had different staff members help us, but Richard really stood out. He was professional, polite, and made us feel genuinely welcomed. On a previous visit, our experience was a bit off due to the late-night staff not being very engaging, but the great food keeps us coming back. Consistency in customer service would make this place perfect. Still, it’s a solid 5 stars from us. Highly recommend!!

Bonchon was suggested by a friend for a meetup. This Asian fusion restaurant specializes in Korean fried chicken, and it was an absolute gem! The blend of bold, flavorful dishes and the casual, family-friendly environment made for a fantastic dining experience. The patio seating was a great option for enjoying the fresh air, and to top it off, the restaurant offers karaoke, adding a fun and interactive element for diners. The Soy Garlic fried wings and House Fried Rice were both delicious. The Korean fried chicken was crispy and perfectly seasoned, with just the right balance of spice and sweetness. The menu also featured a variety of fusion dishes, from savory rice bowls to creative sides. The atmosphere was casual but comfortable, making it a great spot for families, groups of friends, or anyone looking to enjoy good food and a bit of fun. Overall, this restaurant is a fantastic choice for anyone looking for flavorful, affordable food in a chill setting. We’ll definitely be returning for more Korean fried chicken and a few karaoke tunes!

if you look at the photo the brown on the top right was mushrooms and the brown at the bottom of the bowl was our "correct" meat portion size. nothing was under the egg but rice.... we then expressed to staff that we felt hungry still and didn't agree paying 15 dollars for a rice bowl just to feel underwhelmed. half of the bowl was rice. same thing with the tacos, i had two skinny skimp pieces of bulgogi and the whole taco was filled with lettuce.... we spent about 50$ the staff was very understanding and but when brought to manager, she felt like the portion size was correct and did not feel the need to meet our needs. the worker even offered to try covering for our request of extra meat and manager ALSO denied. save your coins and go somewhere else. i know they just opened but if being cheap while running your business, no thanks! think about your customers if this is the industry you want to be in.

Omg! I’ve been looking for a place that has crispy wings near me and I think I’ve found it! The wings were amazing! I’ve never had wings so crispy and juicy! I tried the Soy Garlic and Spicy. Now I’m not going to lie, the spicy is a little too hot for me but the flavor was great! We also got the chicken fried rice and look…delicious! I think they put the same sauce on the fried rice and it gave it this flavorful sweetness. I came back the next day for more! (Don’t judge)The overall atmosphere was pleasant. Staff was friendly. I’ve been here a few times and got the same great service! Would def recommend!!

I tried their soy and spicy chicken wings. I think the spicy one was good but the soy one could use more flavor inside the meat. The soy flavor is just on the skin. The wings texture was cooked really well! I also got their bibimbap which was good but a bit small portion

Not bad. The menu has lots of options compared to other Korean fried chicken nearby. This place was good, but I still prefer other nearby Korean fried chicken places. I had the wings (Korean BBQ, spicy), chicken katsu, and bulgogi fries. The bulgogi fries were not that great. They put a lot of parmesan (?) on it. The katsu was good, but a little more spicy mayo would have been better, and the chicken seemed a little overcooked. The wings were not bad though. I would get the wings again. The spicy has a little kick to it, but not too spicy. The food was somewhat hot, but not *really* hot. The inside seating was very limited. I think fans are needed outside to keep the flies away. We were getting attacked by flies.

The staff were friendly and service was fast. We arrived a little after 6 pm and it wasn't too busy. We ordered the wings, Soy garlic and Koren BBQ, Fried rice, and Bulgogi and all tasted great! We will definitely be back!
