"Bonchon is a Korean fried chicken shop located inside the Metreon. Opened by Manuel and Cheryl Ramirez in 2021, it represents their first venture after closing their popular Inay Filipino Kitchen locations. The restaurant continues to operate alongside their new Filipino fusion restaurant, Izzy & Wooks." - Paolo Bicchieri
"Manuel Ramirez, who owns the Korean fried chicken spot Bonchon at the Metreon, tells the Chronicle that he stocked up his kitchen ahead of the conference because his suppliers weren’t willing to work around the security measures in place for APEC. But rather than a bump in business, he says he estimates the business lost about $50,000; had he chosen to close for the week instead, he could have minimized the damage to about $10,000." - Lauren Saria
"The massive mall right on Market Street isn’t only nine stories tall, it also boasts dozens of dining options, from Shake Shack burgers to hot dogs topped with kimchi and bulgogi at Umai Savory hot dogs. But there are many downtown restaurants nearby, including the new location of the wildly popular Korean fried chicken chain Bonchon inside the Metreon. The pro move is to cut through Bloomingdale’s and cross Mission for that “hand-battered, double-fried, crazy crispy” Korean fried chicken." - Lauren Saria, Becky Duffett
"An outpost of beloved Korean fried chicken chain Bonchon has quietly opened in the SF Metreon. The chain has a cult following and is known for its double-fried chicken, offering wings, drumsticks, strips, and boneless nuggets with soy garlic or spicy sauce. The menu also includes other Korean dishes like japchae, bulgogi, kimchi fried rice, potstickers, shu mai, and takoyaki." - Ellen Fort
