SOME FACTS ABOUT

BONCHON

Loved this place! Never had wings that were as crunchy and spicy! 5 Stars!!

Simply the best fried chicken out there. Spicy strips are my go to. Pork belly buns and kimchi coleslaw are amazing as well.

This was incredible good and fl avorful food. We got the combo wings/drums with half spicy and the other half soy garlic... we also got the chicken fried rice and the potstickers... everything was wonderful and reasonably priced... would defi netly come back

Great fried chicken wing. Food and Wine magazine considers the Bonchon fried chicken winds as one of the top restau-rants (In many locations) for chicken wings. Korean Fried Chicken Wings“This cult Korean wings spot features ex-quisitely crispy fried chicken that comes with a choice of glazes: soy garlic sauce, or spicy hot. This is one of the few places where both choices are equally delicious, so go for half and half.”
