History
The first BonChon location opened its doors in 2002 at Busan, South Korea. It was founded by Jinduk Seo who created the cooking technique and sauces for its trademark chicken.
They have more than 70 stores in the United States and 300 stores worldwide. It was recognized for having the best chicken wings in New York by Grub Street.
Review
They are set-up as a casual dining restaurant with available seating at the bar. I found the restaurant small and it can get crowded if people start coming in.
I like both their spicy and soy garlic flavored chicken. They are cooked to be extremely crispy and flavorful. I was surprised that the sauce didn’t make the skin soggy.
I’d recommend getting chicken wings as both of the flavored sauces go well with it. I also recommend their potstickers and coleslaw.
Their staff was attentive and made sure that everything was going well with my meal. Food is made after you order so you would have to wait for it.
