"I saw signs on the ground floor of the Zig Apartments at Broadway and James on First Hill, near Seattle University, that suggest the popular Korean fried chicken chain Bonchon is getting close to opening its first Washington outpost; there’s no official opening date, though the restaurant was confirmed earlier this year and multiple tipsters have recently spotted signs of progress. Bonchon began in South Korea in 2002 and has grown to about 200 franchises worldwide, including locations in New York, Hawaii, and Texas. Its menu centers on wings, drumsticks, and chicken strips and also features takoyaki, Korean tacos, pork buns, rice cakes and fish cakes (tteokbokki), bibimbap, udon soup, and chicken katsu." - Megan Hill
