Casual chain serving cooked-to-order Korean fried chicken, plus other traditional eats.
"Yes, it’s a chain. And yes, its wings are worthy of your dollars thanks to their double-fried crunch. Choose between soy garlic and spicy, or get half and half. Massachusetts locations include this one in Cambridge’s Harvard Square, Waltham, and Salem." - Terrence Doyle, Rachel Leah Blumenthal, Erika Adams, Nathan Tavares
"Bonchon is really good for two scenarios: (1) nuclear winter has descended and you need a windowless basement to hang out in for a few years, or (2) you’re just in the mood for some good fried chicken. This place gets packed on the weekends with a lot of people enjoying the big Korean menu that has everything from bibimbap to tteokbokki, but we suggest sticking to the nicely fried chicken, preferably the spicy variety that really does have a nice little kick." - dan secatore
"If you’re going to eat in a crowded, windowless basement that kind of looks like an apartment complex cafeteria in a dystopian world where no one can go outside because sunlight melts human hair, then the food better be pretty good. That’s the case at Bonchon, which serves some great fried chicken in an almost claustrophobic space in the basement of the retail complex. The rest of the Korean menu is solid but it’s the lightly fried chicken pieces that will keep you coming back." - dan secatore
