Crispy double-fried Korean chicken with soy garlic or spicy glaze
"Fast-casual fried-chicken restaurant chain Bonchon has expanded from South Korea, now with two locations in San Diego (Convoy District and Carmel Valley). Each piece of chicken is lightly battered with flour and spices for an even layer of crisp. The double-fried chicken gives the protein an extra-crispy crunch, while hand-brushed sauces, such as the sweet and spicy yangnyeom, Korean barbecue, or soy garlic add another layer of flavor. In addition to wings, the menu includes spicy chicken sandwiches, japchae, bulgogi, bibimbap, and tteokbokki topped with melted mozzarella cheese." - Helen I. Hwang
"The South Korea-based chain, which now has two locations in the San Diego area, kicked off the local influx of Korean-style fried chicken. Its twice-fried chicken wings come with either a soy-garlic or spicy glaze or a mix of the two. The vibe inside is relatively austere, but the crackling, crispy, fatty drumsticks are worth the visit, whether dining in or taking out." - Eater Staff
"This outpost of the Korean-style fried chicken chain has the same menu as its Convoy Street location. The poultry is double-fried to crisp the skin while keeping the tender meat juicy. Opt for the soy and garlic sweet glaze for the spice-averse or the full-on tongue-numbing, spicy sauce that’s no joke and oh, so addictive. Customers can also go half and half, mixing it up in the popular wings and drums combo." - Helen I. Hwang
"Bonchon rolled out its third area location inside the Village at Pacific Highlands Ranch, open daily from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., serving its signature fried chicken with a choice of spicy or soy garlic glaze along with Korean classics such as japchae and bibimbap." - Candice Woo
"I was told that a new Carmel Valley outpost at The Village at Pacific Highlands Ranch should open by December or January, and that the company plans further expansion in Chula Vista and North County." - Candice Woo
