"Though more recent Korean immigrants might scratch their heads (there are only a handful of Bonchon locations in the motherland), thoughtful touches like exclusively offering strips (no) and drumsticks (yes) ease diners into BonChon’s perfect marriage of salty-sweet soy garlic glaze and the schmaltzy, shattering crunch of chicken skin. Waits at its SGV location can range into Howlin’ Rays territory, but Korean fried chicken zealots eagerly crowd the entrance and peer longingly at diners seemingly taking their sweet time inside. It’s all proof positive that BonChon is in a category by itself." - Euno Lee
