Famous Korean Fried Chicken Arrives in Kearny Mesa | Eater San Diego

"Bringing Korean-style fried chicken to Convoy Street, the international chain opened its first San Diego outpost, Bonchon, which was founded in South Korea and now counts over 200 stores in nine countries. For the next two weeks the eatery is running abbreviated hours (11:30 a.m.–3 p.m. and 5–10 p.m. Sunday–Thursday; 11:30 a.m.–3 p.m. and 5 p.m.–midnight Friday–Saturday) and is dine-in only for now, though other locations do brisk takeout business. The chicken is twice-fried to order and comes glazed with soy garlic, spicy, or a half-and-half; chicken wings are the best-seller, with strips, drumsticks, and boneless wings also available. The menu extends beyond chicken to Korean classics like bibimbap, japchae, and bulgogi, plus fusion and other Asian dishes such as bull dak (a stir fry of chicken and rice cakes in hot sauce with mozzarella), udon noodle soup, potstickers, and takoyaki. There’s craft beer and wine, with lower prices during a weekday 3–6 p.m. happy hour. The company says at least two more San Diego-area locations are planned, in Chula Vista and San Marcos." - Candice Woo
