⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ | Great Korean fried chicken spot in Navy Yard
Bonchon is a solid go-to for Korean fried chicken, especially if you’re looking for a fun place to hang out and watch a game in Navy Yard.
We always order the combo, and you really can’t go wrong—both the spicy and garlic flavors are excellent, crispy, and full of flavor. I also love their Japchae noodles, which are a great side. The salad was just okay, but the chicken definitely steals the show.
Another big plus is the QR code ordering system. You can scan and order directly from your table, which is super convenient and smooth, especially when the place is busy.
Overall, a great spot for good food, sports, and a casual night out.

Ordering at Bonchon starts a little differently than most dine-in spots. We sat ourselves at a high top table. There was a QR code to access the menu. When the site loaded, right at the top before you even browse, you’re told you must select a tip before placing your order. They note you can ask a manager to change it later if needed. While I’m pro-tipping, it struck me as an odd and slightly off-putting policy, especially given that there’s no full table service and you’re placing your own order. Not exactly the warmest first impression.
After getting past that and placing my order, the experience improved quickly. The food came out fast, plated well, and looked as good as it smelled.
I started with the Pork Belly Bao Buns (set of three). The menu mentioned spicy mayo, but if it was there, it was subtle. I noticed more of the katsu sauce, which was applied in just the right amount so it didn’t overpower or make a mess. The slaw and cucumber slice added a fresh crunch that balanced the richness of the pork belly nicely.
For a side, we went with the Onion Rings, which were more than generous enough to share. They nailed it: thick slices of juicy onion encased in crunchy, golden-brown breading that wasn’t greasy at all. Light seasoning brought them to life, and they came with a slightly spicy house dipping sauce plus ketchup on the side.
Dessert was the highlight: Korean Donuts. Two large twists, piping-hot fresh from the fryer, coated in cinnamon sugar with a sweet cream dipping sauce. Warm, crisp, and comforting, they were easily shareable (though you might not want to).
The restaurant itself was spotless, with good music and plenty of seating. The vibe leans toward a sports bar feel: casual and comfortable enough to linger.
Overall, while I personally prefer a traditional full-service dining experience, Bonchon’s food more than made up for the quirks of its ordering system. The dishes were flavorful, well-prepared, and satisfying, and I left full and happy.
In summary: Excellent food and atmosphere, minus one star for the unusual tipping policy and lack of table service.

Always love this Bonchon venue, service is fast and the food is always on point. They also have a bar inside for tap and lunch could be very busy and more relaxing at dinner time. The soysauce Korean chicken is always a must-try!

Great wings every single time. I prefer the spicy much more but we always get half and half.
Stopped in for happy hour and the fries were $5 and popcorn shrimp were $7. It was a LOT of shrimp and they are very good. Couldn’t even finish the fries. $5 wines too!

Solid spot! We came on a Tuesday and it’s trivia night and veryyyyy loud – too loud to have a conversation, so we went on the patio – a little chilly and can’t order out there, but can at least take your food out there. Pricey for what it the vibe is, but tasty! I’d go back…but not on trivia night, lol!

Bonchon Navy Yard delivers exactly what you hope for: wings that are crispy, saucy, and seriously addictive, plus bulgogi that’s flavorful and tender. The beer selection is solid—nothing flashy, but it does the job. Service was attentive and friendly, which kept things moving smoothly. All in all, it’s a reliable spot where you know you’ll leave full, happy, and maybe wondering why you didn’t order more wings

Had food from here a few times and every time it has been amazing. Sat in and it wasn’t overly busy, so you could comfortably have a conversation.
I like ordering using the QR code on the table as you can start a tab online and easily at to it as needed. The food comes out fast, hot and delicious. It can be a little pricey depending on what you get, but 100% worth it. The Korean BBQ wings and dumpling soup are so good

This is my go-to spot for Chicken but since I’m on a diet, I decided to try Tacos and Salad.
Service is always good (to my standard)
You can scan the barcode to order food from your phone.
I chose the Soy Garlic Chicken Tacos… they were good 8/10. Didn’t have that much chicken on it.
The Sesame Ginger Salad was a 3/10. Dressing was too thick from being almost frozen. The salad had way too many peppers and onions to my liking. I ate 1/3 of it.

Really great food. A little pricey. You don’t need to make a reservation. You order everything from the table from a QR code. The chicken is a must.

After an awesome baseball game, I decided to hit up Bonchon, just a 5-minute walk from the stadium–a super convenient spot for a quick bite. Even with the post-game crowd, I was surprised at how quickly we were seated and our order taken.
It was my first time at Bonchon, but I’d heard great things about their wings. I went with the soy garlic wings and some fries. Let me tell you, these were the BEST wings I’ve ever had. Crunchy on the outside, fall-off-the-bone tender on the inside, and the soy garlic flavor was out of this world!
I’m definitely coming back to try more of their menu. If everything else is as good as the wings, I’m in for a treat!
