  How can you not love Bonchon?! I've been coming here for a couple of years now, even when they opened one that was close to my home (but that establishment was a mess and shut down within a year). I always get a half and half small combo mix with takoyaki balls and I'm always happy . The chicken is amazing and cook fresh to order and is always hot, crispy, and juicy.
  
  The establishment is nice and clean, and on the occasions that I'm not doing takeout I've dine in and have always had wonderful service.

  We ordered the tteokbokki, large chicken strips, and seasoned fries. Compared to the Bonchon in Columbia, I thought the tteokbokki wasn't as spicy. It was also more watered down and had more of a spicy ramen taste instead of a ssamjang. I'm a bigger fan of Columbia Bonchon's tteokbokki if I was being picky, but this tteokbokki is also really delicious. I decided to try the chicken strips this time, but I definitely like the wings the best because they're crunchier and juicer. Half and half with spicy and soy garlic is always the way to go. The seasoned fries are a perfect side dish along with everything else.
  
  This Bonchon is open later than other Bonchons so that's a plus if you're looking for a late night meal.

  This location used to be the best bonchon, but not any more.  I've been to four in the area and this now ranked the lowest.  Each restaurant is different and the quality for what you pay here has gone down.  Small wings, thinner crust and minimal pickled radish.  They even put me on hold for 8 minutes.  When I used another cell on another phone, they pick up right away!  I live down the street from here, but will drive to another location if I'm craving wings.

  Amazing place to go! My first time going, I had split the boneless wings with my family and tried the spicy and soy garlic sauces. The waiter for our table was sooo funny - we asked him what he thought of the sweet crunch sauce and he honestly instantly replied, "no, don't get it - tastes pretty bad!" I usually can do Mango Habanero sauce at Buffalo Wild Wings, but the spicy sauce here is a notch or two higher than that, I had to stick to the soy garlic towards the end. There's a solid amount of chicken for your order, though, which is nice!
  The atmosphere here is very slick and modernized, but pretty loud, so be prepared to speak up a bit during prime time to be heard. Depending on how rowdy you can get, that may not be a bad thing, seeing as it means that you can let loose a little bit more here than at a more classy restaurant.

  First time at this restaurant in the Ellicott city location. The menu is really good as I love any type of chicken dish but they also have things like calamari, chicken wings, soups and all types of dishes. I ordered the chicken strips that were listed as sweet medium heat and they were fantastic. They double dip them so they are extra crunchy and crispy. My son-in-law ordered the hot ones which were really good but way too hot for me. The meal was filling and you could tell everyone loves this place because we had to wait for a table at 10 pm. It was well worth the wait. I will be back
